I got back to firefox 3 or 4 years ago on mac and it's truely excelent.

The only chokepoint were occasional Google properties, the same way Safari chokes on them, so I ended up compartimenting them in Chrome. Otherwise it has been pleasant to use.

I also use it on android, but surprisingly it was really hard to use on Windows tablets. It performs well enough as a mouse and keyboard browser, but touch support is too accurate and mechanical to be useful.

An example: on HN the upvote arrow is a really small target and clicking everywhere else should result in either nothing or opening the link next to the arrow. Chrome "fuzzies" the click area to include the upvote arrow even if I click completely on the left of it. Firefox will accurately send the click to text part left of the arrow, making it crazy hard to hit the upvote button.

Firefox is technically accurate, but the extra "magic" on Chrome's side is really helpful as a user. Performance wise I think it's already on the right track, from there I hope we can get UX improvements as well. Touch optimizations on the desktop feels like a hard nut to crack, but it would be so nice.
I feel disgust for people who go around calling others racist

Its a sort of religion, and there's the fanatics who accuse others of heresy.

I'd feel the same disgust for ISIS activists
What's a free speech bro?
because we should not be relying on employment practices which are effectively slavery, no matter what country it is.
> suggests that BYU asserts the opposite

The page you've linked says: "Copyright protection is effectively never lost, unless explicitly given away or the copyright has expired. However, if you do not actively defend your copyright, there may be broader unauthorized uses than you would like."

How on earth did you read that and come to the conclusion that BYU 'asserts (sic) the opposite' ?
That was a good interview as it exposed SBF. His answers were painfully stupid for a billionaire. I lost a lot of respect for the VC community after listening to that interview, I don't know how they got this so wrong. Perhaps it was just the sham nature of crypto that put blinders on everyone?

Anyway, kudos to Cowen for having SBF on there and letting SBF talk and expose himself.
Not disagreeing with you necessarily, although, how do we know we're better off for it if we don't know what's on the list?
It is life+70 only for copyrights owned by natural persons. That's why, for example, the estates of dead artists are managed by their heirs (at least in name). For copyrights owned by businesses, it's 70 years from publication.
Weirdly enough, every anecdote I've heard about Pokemon cards is that they are collected far more than played, and that most people who own them don't know how the game works.
A key difference here is that cannabis marketing is limited by rules similar to the rules around sale of alcohol.

Gambling lacks most of those key controls. For example, betting organizations are allowed to offer free trials of their product, you see a lot of that advertised on billboards. Get $100 free when you create an account.

Also, gambling mechanics can be integrated into other products. App Store gaming is a good example here, too.

In the UK, alcohol is sold as a loss leader by grocery stores. https://www.ias.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/rp05062008... and their rate of alcoholism is 150% of the USA's rate, where similar tactics are forbidden. I'm not saying that alone is responsible, but using it as an example of how looser regulation leads to more effective marketing and more participation.

I believe we'll see similar tactics, maybe something akin to bundling, with gambling here. Get $50 free betting credits a month with your subscription to Disney plus. Get $200 free with your ticket to Disneyland. Epic Games holiday sale with $10 gambling credits with every purchase.

The goal will be to integrate gambling with daily life enough that anyone with a problem will constantly have opportunities to spend, and for everyone else it becomes a normal hobby, one tap away on their phone at all times.

And this is a market where behavioral targeted advertising will really shine.
Yeah, I'd be surprised if embeddings derived from decoder-only models are competitive in common embedding tasks without some extra training work. There's a good benchmark page on huggingface for the MTEB tasks (Massive Text Embedding Benchmark) that's kept up to date here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard
I have no problem with 2fa. I have both available on my GH account. I think it's a bad decision, but I've been using 2fa on GH for over 10 years. I'm not arguing for myself, I'm arguing for others and for what's correct. In my case, i'm fortunate enough that when I need to go through customs, I have the luxury of being able to leave my 2fa at home :)
You also can't block people.

I consider that a pretty important feature for mental health reasons.
Having spend over a decade in Python backend/JS frontend ecosystems at this point, I can confidently say from my experience that Django backends are much easier to update than React frontends. If you import every bleeding-edge nonsense through pip that you can, there can still be problems, but Python has a better culture around this, so it's usually easy to steer teams away from doing this. In JS, importing every bleeding-edge nonsense through npm that you can is the only culture I've found, and this problem is pervasive enough that even guarding your direct dependencies doesn't isolate you from it, since your dependencies are likely to introduce bad dependencies of their own.
How are we better off with this list being secret and being kept away from us? Are you saying that we are better off not knowing what’s in this list? Why?
The "serotonin model", actually called the monoamine hypothesis, hasn't really been taken seriously in the field for decades, except by naysayers like yourself who continue to use it as a strawman.
shouldComponentUpdate() also doesn't exist in the function-based components. Instead there's a few different hacks to get the same effect.
Interesting. What is holding together the relationship between the pubs credibility and the universities? Is their money changing hands? Laziness in that they sort of do the filtering work for them? Or is it just good ole incumbency?

From an outsiders perspective it would seem pairing individuals (university and department heads) personal reputations in press with the sloppiness or unseriousness of the process would at least create some stakes for the decision makers no?
FWIW, we've been live with GPT-3.5 turbo since May and it's improved a LOT.

Latency is down consistently across the board and we haven't seen a single "429 model overloaded" error in the past month: https://twitter.com/_cartermp/status/1686894576202907651/
This is like reviewing a P2 screw driver while testing it on P1 screws only while demanding that the P2 sucks. There is now way I can respect the work Linux Tech Tips does anymore. To be fair, I only used them occasionally to keep up to date on new hardware.
> pretty easy to see when they don't get traction / get flagged automatically.

or they may think the content itself is the problem and spend resources trying to tweak it.

I think an analogous situation would be saying if the username/email is valid when there is a failed logged in attempt. Its a very minor thing but why give someone who is trying to abuse the system any help?
Very cool stuff. I got interested in ancient Chinese plumbing after watching the water dragons[1] at the forbidden city, during the recent flooding in Beijing.

Interesting that both this system, and the one described in the article (over 2000 years earlier, and in a different part of China) had the singular purpose of managing floods, rather than irrigation or providing potable water, even though neither place has a history of frequent flooding.

There's a saying that "traditions are solutions to problems we've forgotten", and it looks like a lot of traditional architecture and infrastructure in China did take into account the types of climate change problems we're currently facing; modern Beijing flooded, but the Imperial City didn't.

When I was little, I was working my way through the "Freddie the Pig" stories:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQ9T198

I noticed my dad had "Animal Farm" and it seemed to be about a pig, so I read it. I took it at face value as a good story about animals running a farm.

Many, many years later I realized it was an allegory about the Soviet Revolution.
Honestly, for me Firefox is a second choice until their debugging tools match Chrome's and they tighten up their tab UI just a bit.

I really want use firefox daily it's just that I do feel a development speed hit when using it.
Great idea, I’ll see if I can make a new endpoint that adds word level highlighting annotations that could be parsed and used to control the brightness or color of each word based on semantic relevance to a query term.

To be honest, I hadn’t even thought about token-level embeddings until someone on Reddit asked about it and I realized it was possible to do with llama-cpp, so I just quickly added the functionality without closely examining the best use cases.

It’s a LOT more data and compute than using the normal sentence-level embeddings, so it would really have to unlock some useful new functionality to be worth it. But I do think the “combined feature vector” concept that at least makes them fixed length is helpful.
Report on Anti-Gay Slur Could Put Local News Site Out of Business
It's unavailable a lot ("Tell HN: Archive.* Is Unavailable" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35749833 "Ask HN: Archive.is Captcha Problems Lately?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37077049) so discussions tend to end up being about archive.is instead of the content.
I have the exact opposite experience. Streaming video is stuttering and buffering so bad that I can't use Chrome at all on those sites (Brave isn't any better). It was the reason I switched to Firefox and the performance was so much better.
I don't know that it's appetite per se. My understanding of how semaglutides work is that they slow the emptying of the stomach, persisting the "full" feeling.

(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.)
I didn't say that most or many of the dead commenters are quality
Me, before I saw forum after forum after forum fall to the Nazi Bar Problem.

(The term is newer than my formative experiences, but it's the best concise explanation of the dynamic I know.)
I think they just don't check. They just post to as many sites as they can. It's high volume, low reward. HN also has a small readership with a limited interest, so it's not likely to be a spammer's top priority.
I used to do this with the paper encyclopedia too... Id sit on the floor surrounded by books open to a page with slips of paper, pencils and whatever else was around as markers. I'd try to keep track of where i came from so i could backtrack through my side quests.

When tabbed browsing came around it was a relief, the browser did all that for me well enough. Unsurprisingly I frequently find out how many tabs is too many for my current computer (less frequently than 20 yeas ago tho since browsers and computers are a lot better than they used to be.)
>Nothing crypto or blockchain has done has advanced us forward in any meaningful way.

Snowden is literally saying how helpful and useful to him Bitcoin was. How can you make such a cognitive dissonant statement? Like I said in my original post, crypto hasn't been helpful to you, that doesn't mean it hasn't been helpful to everyone. Newspaper owners hated the internet, that doesn't mean the internet isn't useful.
The comments so far miss the point. Off-the-shelf software is not HIPAA compliant. Government restricts supply through regulation, monopolists collect rent. If HIPAA were to be relaxed, off-the-shelf software can be used and fees would plummet. Don't blame "insurers", "middlemen", "capitalism" etc; blame well-intentioned / poorly designed regulations.
> and still achieve separation of HTML/JS.

Why is this important to maintain? People have been complaining about this since the beginning, but I've never seen anyone actually articulate what the problem is.
And 0.02% is really a lot.
To be clear, Firefox doesn't care about this benchmark either. It just so happens that changes we made for Speedometer also improved our performance here, which is a fun coincidence but not important in the grand scheme of things.

(Speedometer is the benchmark that most closely approximates messy real-world code.)

It’s way too easy to sign up and submit for spam to not be an issue. Of course there is a blacklist of some sort.
I’m not certain that’s it. The best theory on why communism never caught on in Western Europe is that they were too developed. You need a lot of people that are in agriculture and Western Europe was beyond that.
Yes, 92% of Nd magnets are made in China. Large amounts of the REE used to make those magnets are imported. The implication that all that mining is just in China is false, and cheap labor is the only reason it isn't all in the US. The US supplied almost ALL of the planets REEs until cheap labor outcompeted it.

It's not rich people who are gambling. It's folks who, like when marijuana was legalized, now have an easy/legal outlet to gamble on sports they were already watching without having to deal with a booky and the risks that entails.
One side having been a "good steward" is your opinion, describing counter opinions as "a little Orwellian" strikes me as hyperbole.

From my perspective I agree that Google has been a better steward of the web than many others would be or have been. But I have spent too much of my professional life dealing with things like AMP pages and shitty, browser-crashing ads provided via Google ad networks to say they are a total objective good (to say nothing of the Web Environment Integrity proposal and other stuff that never succeeded, remember when they wanted to put Dart in Chrome?).

Even if you think they are objectively good, remember that they've been a good steward within the current context where they don't hold overall power. Microsoft is a good steward of the web these days but I've been around long enough to remember the IE6 days. If given total control over the future of the web I have every expectation that Google would behave like MS did back then. It's nothing personal against any company, I think it's inherent in the nature of any private company in total control of a market to bend it to their will. Expecting them to do anything else is foolish.

I fear the native future Apple wants but can't achieve because of the open web. I fear the dominated web future Google wants but can't achieve because of Apple. I'm equal opportunity scared of all these bastards.
Good point, but no. Also I think they pay Hashicorp for support.
Do you have problems with reed switches getting stuck? I've had fantastic luck with hall sensors for this purpose, but maybe I was just looking at low quality reed switches.
Because keeping this kind of list secret is an effective tactic in the battle against spam, and we are all better off with less spam.
Where is the line between “new journal” and “predatory journal”? Each time I read an article such as this one, I get the sense that there is no room for new players.
I think the 'free speech bros' characterization is this particular case might even be overly charitable, considering that OP appears to have created this account solely to make this post. I suspect they may lean more toward commercial interests and less toward ideological ones.

Yes, I believe I saw a video of Linus stating exactly this
Heh, yellow vests in every car accessible to the driver. When I heard that was a requirement in Europe, I bought one for my trip there and keep one in my American car now.

What a fantastic idea I thought. Should be a requirement in North America too, given our unreliable vehicles and expanses of unlit roads.

But thanks to the French making it a protest tool, I don’t see it ever happening.
Do they? One of the papers in support of CCC found patterns in the CMB that might have been black holes remaining from the last cycle. I wonder if they'd start eating the new matter created by the big bang and survive.
I argue that (good) literate programming can make code literature. Your program is told as a sort of story and ought to contain background info, thought processes, and rationale for decisions. Additionally macros can be used to reuse code at build ('tangle') time that your underlying language may not otherwise support.

For example if I have some constants i need throughout a python program, I might put it in something like constant.py during normal programming, but if I were literate programming I could have a section called "Program constants" and dive into each one, referencing them with macros throughout the program. You do have to be careful because the macros can make debugging confusing since you are now working with two languages instead of 1.

You can also put stuff that is irrelevant to humans out of the way of the most important stuff.

Many global jurisdictions don't have the class action lawsuit framework system, it's mostly the US/Anglo countries that do.

That's why the law baseline is important. It's how warranties must be 2 years across all EU.
> - 3rd party clients. That worked initially, but WA was quite aggressive in breaking them, and once e2ee was added they stopped working.

Yeah, that happened. :/ I was mostly in favor of a light touch, but e2ee would have been a hard cutoff anyway, and we didn't have the desire to make a compliance program for 3rd party clients, so they just got the boot whenever they caused inconvenience. There would usually be a flurry of activity around individual changes, but afaik, third parties saw the writing on the wall when e2ee started showing up.

> - we wrote a j2me VM in Javascript (https://github.com/mozilla/pluotsorbet) to run the S40 version :) Perf was not good enough when dealing with java threads.

Wow, that's impressive! (and kind of terrible!) Were you able to leverage this for other things, I hope?

> - we collaborated with a company (OpenMobile) to run the Android app in a container, rendering in a DOM element. That was a pain in term of OS integration, and OpenMobile finally didn't get the distribution agreement from WA.

I was unaware of this. That's interesting to hear about. I think you're right from your earlier post, that user count would have pushed WA the other way, and that lack of WA support made it harder to get user count. Samsung (Tizen) and Jio (KaiOS) got WA to make clients by subsidizing handsets and leveraging user counts / other business relations; s40 got a client because Nokia was clearly going to sell at least a few million of them (s40 predates WA, of course, but the earlier ones never ran WA); same with WP7, although no client until 7.5, because the platform was missing pieces.

WebOS didn't get a client because the platform was missing pieces and didn't survive long enough to add them (lack of WA support wasn't really an issue, given the timing). MeeGo didn't get a client because Nokia cancelled the N9 before they launched it, and limited the release.

ModernMBA has a video [1] that hypothesizes that food delivery in general will never be a profitable business.

I'd say that it's pretty apt, that it's all running on VC money for market share. There's a reason that before mobile devices the only restaurants that offered delivery were pizza & Chinese.

VPN and MITM?! What a horrible horrible security nightmare!
Much like MTX in games...

This is a good point. The gaming industry probably doesn't even care if "most" people tune out the ads. They are marketing to the whales, or trying to turn people into whales, and like MTX in games, they'll figure out how to milk the whales until they're dry, with bonuses, new bet types, fewer clicks to place bets, etc.
$15k for a box with 144 GB GPU RAM is not bad, but I'm not clear on how they're going to run that from a single 1600W PSU. That would be 6x 24GB GPUs, and I'm pretty sure you'd need 2x 1600W PSUs and two separate 15amp circuits to run such a thing at home (in the US).
These are everywhere and often times well disguised. You need to research where you are publishing before sending it in.

I, like many young graduates, were tasked with finding 5-10 "less popular" journals to publish to in order to get some practice in. This was mostly an exercise in learning the industry and so I didn't get much help from my advisor. In my particular sub-field of computer science the major journals were highly exclusionary and so getting published even with your advisor's name on the paper was not likely.

I cannot tell you how many times I went back to my advisor only to find out a couple journals I chose were predatory. Some were obvious to remove (and I did), some you could Google and get to the 3rd page to figure out if it was predatory, some you really needed to understand how journals work (scoring, reviewing criteria, rejection rate, etc). A hallmark is always a strangely low rejection rate. Sometimes you can dig deep and figure out by looking at the review process.

It is sometimes a lot of work to avoid accidentally publishing to one of these. They crop up as often as they get knocked down.
I see you've never had to maintain code.
You don't and they are under no obligation to provide this list. It is not clear to me that providing the list would be constructive either.
