I agree with most of your points, and would like to point out that the “client” is not a single person or organism, but just a lot of people. Just as the internet already contains all the answers in it, you might need a search engine (or LLM) to find them. Crawling the web or the org is grunt work that you might have no time for.

uBlock was the original name for the add-on that subsequently was ethically compromised/"sold out to" advertisers

uBlock Origin is the 2nd version written by the original author (gorhill) and is not compromised.

I feel like there is/should be some kind of programming language design equivalent of this. If you wanted to make programmers basically incapable of writing correct programs, how would you do it?

Here's where I'd share examples and it wouldn't be funny and instead start a flamewar.
Yes, you have to use their DNS, which is tightly integrated with their CDN in ways that are fine for some people but others may find undesirable (e.g. they automatically obtain SSL certificates for your domains).

A 12V 12Ah battery is 144Wh. I'm fairly certain that Lead-acid can accept 0.3C, and you're right in that a 60W panel is slightly more than the 43W that Lead-acid can accept.

But sizing 12V 20Ah (ie: 240 Wh), and now 0.3C is 72W or 6A of safe charging (less than 0.3C).

-------------

See #4: just buy a bigger battery if you need a bigger battery. Bigger battery provides more power and energy proportionally for the chemistry.

And a 12V 20Ah lead-acid is just $40 on Amazon.

---------

I guess your overall point is that "Trickle-charge" isn't enough for Solar? Which is something I admit I didn't think about earlier (trickle-charge just doesn't send as much current to the battery due to the lower voltage). But I guess there's a "simplicity of circuit" advantage of trickle-charging. A more complex state-of-charge circuit (likely a microcontroller keeping tabs on the battery) is needed to safely send 0.3C down to the Lead Acid.

EDIT: On the other hand, having your "charge controller" just be like, two power diodes, is a gross benefit to simplicity. Its something you can do with Lead-Acid that's fully impossible with LiFePo (and is why LiFePo4 needs expensive charge controllers to work). For hobbyist purposes, there's something to be said about using simpler technologies, even if their specs are worse (and I'm not entirely sure if Lead-Acid has worse specs than LiFePo4 in this use case).
It's a tipping point, isn't it. If enough couples jump to dual-income for reasons of self-actualization, the rest have to follow just to keep up. It's a Red Queen's Race.
I'm not so sure after another 1000 years of technological development they'll be anything much left of human brains the way we currently recognise them. Maybe we'll all have merged into one mega-consciousness...it's fun to speculate but not particularly helpful. I'm far more concerned about how we'll navigate the next 100 years, which won't be constrained by the amount of matter/energy in the universe.
I don't think you've actually done the math on that one. Keeping gas power plants online but unused except when renewables are unavailable is extremely expensive. We've been able to kind of ignore that up until now because of the limited scale of renewables generation but eventually the economics become untenable. Who is going to pay the large fixed costs to keep those gas plants on standby?

I had a similar reaction, the first time I heard a graduating CS undergrad say that they were going into management consulting: "But you don't know anything yet..."

But I guess it's not that different from the new grads who are instantly called Software Engineers.

I'm sure he'd have planned or thought about this before hand.

Steve's famous "computers are a bicycle for the mind" was refined over a long period of time and countless interviews.

Funny enough, my curent position did not give me a coding interview. Rather they asked difficult technical questions about the technologies I used, and asked me to justify my use of them. I found this was a far better test, because coding out an algorithm is something you can just memorise.

Example: "You've used k8s, how and in what context?" "Ok, great, so you've AWS EC2 instances, how did you manage cost and performance there?" "You're listing Clojure here, what were your thoughts on X feature/limitation"? It was a rather fluid discussion about the ins and outs of technologies, stacks by engineers.

Sometimes actually interrogating someone's knowledge of a system works just as well. I code a lot of things slowly, and need to think through my designs with a pad of paper. I really can't do it when someone is hovering over my shoulder.
It wouldn't surprise me if e.g. people at Microsoft ran pirated copies of Office or whatever. Or like Photoshop at Adobe. Getting hold of licenses can be a nightmare, and Microsoft products more so in the past. Nowadays, every Microsoft license seems handled by some enterprise admin account.

Some devices allow you sign your own images and relock the bootloader [0].

This allows you to modify your image, sign it, flash it and relock your bootloader. If you have the infrastructure in place, future updates could be rolled out as OTA updates for your custom rom.

You'll still fail hardware attestation and afaik whatever api that returns the boot status differentiates between a vendor signed and a custom signed image.

So not perfect, but you lose the bootloader unlocked nag.

I'm curious how big a problem this was with refurbished second-hand laptops that often come with a pre-installed OS. At the very least, I have the freedom to reinstall Windows/Linux.

We need to find real solutions to the e-waste problem, it's unacceptable to be throwing away so many working phones simply because their manufacturer has decided to stop publishing OS updates after 2/3/4 years. I own a few older computers that are almost a decade old and run the latest version of Debian/Ubuntu. There is no reason phones should be treated any different.
I love Jellyfin and tried it with music but it felt too clunky at the time.
We could cut spending on our massively bloated military and stop with the tax cuts for rich. Republicans are hardly fiscally conservative these days, we have a choice between the “tax and spend” party and the “spend and cut taxes” party.

A lot of our problems simply come from low interest rates, and our inability to raise them as the economy got better; now we are stuck with raising interest rates because we basically broke the lever. Both parties are at fault here, I guess we are just getting what we asked for.
I did this for a nephew. It was a vanilla js implementation of a chess board.

Chess was popular in his friend group so he asked if he could code a chess game for him and his friends to play.

I designed a lesson around making a chess board. Board is an important specification. That is, I wrote it to be a digital chess board rather than a chess game. Coding the logic of checking if a move was legal or identifying a check was quickly getting out of reach of educational material.

So instead I explained we are making a virtual board. Anything you can do on a chess board you can do on ours. Move wherever you want, capture whatever you want, call out your own checks, etc.

It also implemented an implementation of vanilla js p2p peering (without signalling) that updated the board with the other user’s move, and had a chat function.

I feel it turned out great. We’ll see if he pursues his programming interest further.

One thing I did different than the OP was that I included version control as part of the essentials of coding and manufactured my commits so they built up incrementally.

This way he could checkout the last commit and play around with the final product, while also being able to see how it’s built by going through each commit chronologically.

The biggest hurdle was the restrictions on software downloading on his school supplied laptop. Download vim? Blocked. eMacs? Blocked. Git? Blocked.

The fact that we feed them breaks their equilibrium with their prey. Normally a predator starts running out of food as it wipes out its prey, but not domestic cats. And not just pets, we also feed the ferals.
Except for the part where the court didn't find that. It found that work only created by the AI didn't qualify. Had it asked if a work created by the AI AND the person qualified it would no doubt have qualified as is already clear from using photoshop not serving to remove your ability to produce copyrightable works. The case didn't ask that and therefore it wasn't answered in any meaningful fashion.

The act of prompting and customizing iteratively especially in systems which allow the user to submit a prompt that modifies the existing work for example "replace the human being with a monkey" "make the monkey pink" etc are clearly creative works that USE an AI not uncopyrightable.

If you want to argue that point you absolutely cannot do so on the basis of a case that literally never addressed that issue unless you would like to traverse the muddy ground between actuality and fiction.

You claim to have anecdotal knowledge. That may be true! But when you anonymously post that claim to the internet, it is a rumor.
Open source software deserves celebration. Its impact on the world is profound and transformative. Recently, I began porting the 3D Gaussian splatting paper to C++ and CUDA with an aim to optimize the training speed of such models. This endeavor was only possible because the original authors open-sourced their work. The feedback has been encouraging, and I feel that I'm making a difference—perhaps even more than in my regular job. That said, it's essential to remember that contributing to open source, while rewarding, can be demanding if it's not your full-time occupation. Yet, through such efforts, we ensure these tools remain freely accessible and aren't monopolized by corporations.

Well for one there was no printing press via which to persist knowledge and translate it cheaply through time and space.

Imagine what an individual could achieve technologically today, if they were unable to access any materials or knowledge that was accrued over the history of our species. The result would probably be a subset of the things you describe as originating from before 250 years ago, but they would certainly not be splitting atoms or mapping the human genome.

Every consulting experience ever:

They all work at “top” firms and have “elite” educations. All of them. Seeing it in this thread.

After we sign the contract, “the problem is far, far greater than we were led to believe, and the solution is more consulting.”

The HR solution is always the opposite of what we’re doing. Title drift? Reduce titles! College grads have same titles as seasoned veterans? More titles!

The operational solution is always the same bundle of crap they sell to everyone else, but they’ll tell you it’s custom. Good luck getting any fixes in a reasonable time frame or expense.

I've had some interesting discussions on just how far back climate change concerns go back in sci-fi. There are famous works as far back to the 1950s from my reading. To be fair, you do have to discount and untangle many of the very wrong and worst parts (especially eugenics) of Malthusianism [1] the further back you go, but environmentalism and anthropogenic climate change (even if the models of the causes were sometimes very wrong) have long been concerns in sci-fi used to provide many, many warnings (of some stuff we see applicable today as more than just fiction, sadly).

"Soylent Green" has its Malthusianism to discount as well ("Green" as a solution is eugenics and a warning of "Soylent Green" is one to beware of eugenics as a deeply suspect solution to anthropogenic climate change). (That's still sometimes a message people need to hear today. Eugenics is nearly an anti-solution, but plenty of people still raise the specter of it when climate change gets debated.)

The whole point of the article is that the right-associativity of Haskell monads makes them not simple pipelines because it allows this:

so c gets the results of both a and b "for free".
I'll let you know. My priorities as far as "difficult things i desperately need to do" include better note-taking (org mode/roam) and learning enough about AI to put it to use. VFIO is definitely a dream but with dual booting it's also at the bottom of my list.
> There is enormous potential for this new wave of tech to impact humanity. For example, Google’s MedPaLM2 model outperforms human physicians to such a strong degree that having medical experts RLHF the model makes it worse (!).

Wow, what a ridiculously disingenuous cherry-picked claim. If you actually read the paper you'll find this gem: "However, for one of the axes, including inaccurate or irrelevant information, Med-PaLM 2 answers were not as favorable as physician answers." Typical AI hype blog post donning the HN front page. At this point, I'm ready to put on my tinfoil hat and say that a16z, etc. is heavily pushing all these narratives because the next round of investments for the great majority of AI startups will almost certainly be the bagholder round.
Vulnerability in Tencent’s Sogou Chinese Keyboard Leaks Text Input in Real-Time
I do know that Firefox has no plans to deprecate webRequests API (that the non-lite version depends on), while also supporting declarativeNetRequest (that the lite version depends on) for compatibility.

What I don't know is:

1) whether their implementation of declarativeNetRequest has that arbitrary limitation

2) whether uBO Lite ships the same (limited) filters in the Firefox release.

I'm guessing 2) is true for simplicity, but that's purely a guess.

> If a repair shops wipes someone's phone they'll be pissed, but they aren't going to throw out the phone. As soon as they get back that phone they'll reinstall all their apps [...]

This depends on whether consumers are made aware that a repair shop that "accidentally" wipes your phone might be trying to steal your bank account etc.

While education is difficult, the consumer has an advantage in this scenario because the event itself is impossible to miss and very disruptive and could lead them to start searching on the internet for advice.
Haskell's sequence is not the same as strength. Strength specifically involves pairs.

Nobody seems to know where "strength" got its opaque name from. Like, nobody, not even the guy who first published the term.

Maybe it's the single slowest individual item, but it's very far from being a significant fraction of boot time. And the capacity really hasn't kept up the way speed has. My desktop has 24GB of DDR3 1600 and manages to post in under 2 seconds. And that's pretty old by today's standards. Mid level modern hardware runs at least a circle or two around this system in terms of speed, but in terms of capacity it's still right in line with a higher end system today. Maybe I'm atypical but my boot time is dominated by my OS spinning itself up, by a long shot.
> If it were really true that they revered Buddha, then his special teaching should still be present within the material studied by e.g. Krishna devotees

This is not true about Hinduism. It isn't one of those "take all or none" philosophies you can pick your parts without ever reading about many other parts which you still hold in high regard due to tradition. Hindus do not hold Islam and Christianity in the same reverence simply because both ideologies are outside the umbrella of Hinduism.

Now, if the claim is that someone have used Buddha's name to promote their own ideas then reverse would be true, you will find Buddha everywhere including in Gita as someone who is subservient to their favourite God. There would be fake quotes about Buddha praising Krishna and so on.

> most people I met interested in Buddhism are also co-opting his name

This is true for nearly all religions and especially for philosophies. The difference between philosophy and science is that, to understand someone else's philosophy you need to possess similar intellect. Where as average student of science can study and understad ideas of genius like Einstein.
Orion on iOS is not a Safari reskin. It uses WebKit, but the similarities end there.
Or just use Arch and have almost everything in official repos (and the rest in the AUR). I have had less issues with arch than with debian, because Arch is so simple. If you want to install something, you install it, and the it's installed. One command. Always. I found that debian would break more easily because I had to mess around with unofficial repos and things like flatpak just to get basic programs. More complexity, more that can break, more reliance on 3rd parties. Arch has been rock solid.
Effectively, not really. You can get your license pulled, for a limited (but long) time. But just because you're no longer permitted to drive doesn't mean you won't.

It's difficult to register your car when you don't have a license, so then you usually stop registering your car too. And it's hard to get car insurance if you don't have an active license or a registered vehicle, so that's another thing to skip.

If you get pulled over, and have no license, no registration, and no insurance, but that's all that's really wrong, you'll most likely get a ticket, probably have your license suspended for longer, and might have your car taken away, but won't likely be put in jail. So, time to buy another cheap car, private party.
The spec may disagree, but webservers do sometimes send bytes outside the ASCII range, and the most sensible way to deal with that on the receiving side is still by treating them as latin1 to match (last I checked) what browsers do with it.

I do agree that latin1 headers shouldn't be _sent_ out though.
