This argument is silly. Google buying the default search is currently being used as evidence in an antitrust case over Google search being a monopoly.

Chrome only exists to make more money for Google search, there's no way that Google would risk their (alleged) search monopoly just to prevent a browser monopoly. Google genuinely believes the money they pay Mozilla and Apple is worth it.

Remember using these in 2010s. College usee 4 sparc servers, one for each lab.

Think my favorite memory using it was watching the sheer chaos and panic during some theirs year CAD class when some clients would randomly freeze and die. Turns out a second year algos course had an assignment due mid day for which the auto grading scripts often triggered run away memory consumption

On another note, always wondered if they might have survived if they didn't cancel Sparc the moment Itanium was announced.
Both comments above sounding much like Victorian era post Darwinian drawing room expressions of "Nature red in tooth and claw" and other aphorisms not sourced to either Darwin or Wallace, all running contrary to the actual considerations of actual hunter and gathers (Pintupi Nine, San Bushmen, etc) who repeatedly stress the importance of not killing off your food supply by over taxing breeding and regrowth abilities.
Because a human operating the AI will always unquestioningly do what the AI tells it.
I appreciate your sharing your perspective, but you've made a few comments that I find extremely overgeneralized that I'd like to respond to. But first, I'll begin like you did: As a publicly-schooled kid who considers myself damaged as a result, I'm choosing to homeschool my children in order to try to protect them from the worst of that.

I got bullied pretty relentlessly (the goods are odd... and an easy target) and what little solace I could find was in doing my academic best, and receiving recognition and accolades from my parents and teachers. Thus I have also ended up a people-pleaser.

> Homeschooling is the ultimate egotistical project of attempting to form a living, human child [...] into a mirror of one's self.

Certainly for some, but that is not our goal and I am trying to be very mindful and cautious of that pitfall. I am trying to give my children the tools and skills that they will need in order to live fulfilling lives (by which I mean, able to keep themselves housed and fed, and with whatever calling or vocation or work pleases them most. I suppose that does carry a bit of my own projection with it, that it would be difficult to find life fulfilling if one is starving or without reliable shelter, but I feel that such beliefs are shared by enough of our society that the kids would receive them if they were in school as well). Will I make mistakes? Certainly. Will we be able to maintain a good relationship? I dearly hope so, but time will tell. Do I think the odds of us achieving those goals are higher than if we forced them into a school? Yes, I do.

The kids are involved in a number of extracurricular activities (mostly physical activities like biking and swimming and dance, but likely robotics at some point sooner rather than later) many of which include a range of kids with varying ages, many (most?) of whom are not homeschooled. Why wouldn't this expose them to different cultures, and provide them with other sources of approval and validation (friends, teammates, coaches, other parents)? Hopefully it will, even as that means I have to quash my desire to discourage them from hanging out with people whose views I don't necessarily agree with--just as I would if they were in school.

Anyway, in closing, to me it seems like the challenge is more one of helping kids, especially neurodiverse ones, learn how to navigate a variety of social dynamics and to be strong, independent persons who have a sense of personal identity and the skills to share that with other people but also to defend their boundaries when pushed... and that neither public school nor homeschool are necessarily good or bad at that (or perhaps, given our respective experiences, that both are bad at it ~wry grin~)
You should be okay as long as you solve the challenge(s).
I bought a Boox despite not trusting the OS - and never getting online with it - because I like to sketch in color. I would've rather bought any other platform, if there was one with sort-of-useful color e-ink. But I actually really like their interface. It's one of the best overlay-interfaces I've ever seen over anything (and this is over full Android, slightly bent). It's a pleasure to use, as long as you keep it airgapped and don't trust it further than you could throw it.

It's not just the high cost that's bad about it, it's the utterly demoralizing nature of handing over thousands of dollars a month in rent and not getting anything out of it in the long run. Is it any wonder people would want to move somewhere much cheaper and turn those thousands of dollars into equity, eventually growing enough to own their own home?

The article makes it sound like this could be catastrophic, but I seem to recall that breathing gasses other than CO2 that don't contain oxygen can be dangerous because you don't feel it until it's too late.

What is stopping the city from buying and operating driverless cars? Their money is just as good and I'm sure the companies selling the cars would be happy to sell to them. Oh, the only thing stopping them are "activists" who demand inferior solutions to transit.

The public transit network is "there" in some places, and kind of works. If you happen to live near a stop and your schedule allows you enough time to wait for a bus / train to arrive, then sure. If you don't live in one of those places then you're SOL. Good luck waiting for the city to add a new train line. It took NYC over 100 years to build the second avenue line...

Meanwhile the infrastructure for cars is there, and actually does work and goes from point-to-point from almost every single residence / place of business in the entire country.

> Mass taxis would still be an improvement over individual cars

No, they'd actually be substantially worse. Personal cars are poorly utilized, but they at least spend all of their time carrying at least one person (the driver), and stay off the roads when they aren't in use. A taxi will, necessarily, spend less than 100% of its time carrying a passenger; if it's being used primarily by commuters, it's likely to spend at least 50% of its time with no passengers at all (because it's deadheading back into a city to take workers home, or vice versa).

Having everyone drive cars everywhere isn't sustainable, but making those cars into taxis isn't the solution either.
This reminds me of a now-dockerized Privaxy, which is a UBlock-origin blocklist compatible MITM proxy. It’s crazy to see how many ads and tracking scripts are on smart products, especially my TV where so far in my testing it’s over 40% unnecessary traffic. Its been pretty fun to try and strip out ads on my smart-tv apps.

It's not satirical. It's a very well known opinion piece by one of the most famous former Soviet mathematicians.

FWIW, I understand where he's coming from but I fundamentally disagree (not in the least because for me, computer science applications of mathematics are much more interesting than physics ones, and these can be incredibly abstract).

The only alternatives to a service like youtube showing people ads are for its users to pay for it, for it to be funded through donations, for it to be run by the government and paid for through taxation or for it not to exist. I prefer the first or second approaches and Youtube is unusual among social media sites in actually giving me the first option. So I happily pay for premium and while I'd rather that were the only option (I think ad supported content is an inherently socially corrosive model) I dislike the attitude of those who reject ads but also refuse to pay.

(Some people are unable to afford it but that's an entirely separate social problem, and it would be unusual for somebody with the skills demonstrated in the article to be struggling to earn a living wage.)

What I would be interested in this protobuf inspection approach for would be implementing some decent parental controls. I would very much like to be able to enable/disable individual youtube channels. Currently all I can do is switch the whole site on and off. I have all the necessary infrastructure already, so I might give it a try.

This is an extremely loaded topic as are many child raising related questions.

We have (mostly) homeschooled our kids. There are many forms of homeschooling. My kids didn't do study groups and instructional materials. We mostly did what's known as unschooling. But they ended up doing a mix of traditional schooling (with remote schools and then in person) and pursuing their own interests. I think it worked out well for them. One is in her last year of high-school (going to school full time now) and one has already graduated from university, has a job, is doing pretty well.

If I look at myself, I would say I consider myself partly damaged from going to school. I think many of my peers also have damage from the school system. It kills the desire to learn, there are negative social phenomena like bullying and other abusive situations. Many young people under peer pressure get introduced to substance abuse. There's even extremes like suicide. Schools are not a great environment for learning or for socializing. Some people do well, some people do very poorly.

> forcefully indoctrinating kids with a single perspective is wrong, full stop

Isn't this a great description of the school system? I totally agree by the way. Our kids had/have control over what they wanted to pursue.

I am sorry to hear of your experience. There are many things I wish my parents did differently. Parenting is hard and every person is different. Not going to school can be a better experience, at least in my opinion.

It's a handful of domains that paywall their content. Reuters, NYTimes, WSJ, FT, Business Insider and a few others. It's also not that cumbersome since once you learn the domains, you can directly copy the link before opening and then go to Archive.is and enter the URL in the second form which lets you look up a link if it has been saved already, and in 99% of the cases - if the submission is on the front page, then it has already been archived, not considering the fact that someone has likely made a comment with the live Archive link in the comments.

There was also a relatively brief time when YT was owned by google but ads were delivered from a separate (sub)domain so DNS adblocking would work wonders.

Those days are gone as the distinction between ads and malware becomes a technicality.
They had better build some pretty fantastic water catchment systems.
Getting knocked down then kicked every day at recess, cowering and begging for them to stop, solely because of the color of my skin, while children laughed at my misfortune, until the teacher eventually waddled over to save me was not, in fact, a great gift for me.

Yoneda’s lemma as an identification of form and function
True of course. I've seen estimates of about 10% (your link quotes 11%) of children (i.e., 90% of children don't have it) but the obvious question is on what basis what the diagnosis made? You can guarantee that only a few of those kids have had an MRI scan determining a brain structure indicative of a structural association with dyscalculia in the brain. Easy to jump to conclusions and miss many other possibilities which do not present apparently impassable barriers to learning maths.

Why your budget and timing should take higher priority than my privacy? Arguably social coherence is at risk too since targeted ads in politics may be very nasty. Targeted ads benefit few at expense of the whole society.

Should HN the discussion group associated with seed fund investor group Y Combinator also ban discussion of paywalled services?

Isn't the least expected lowest bar for entry here that someone should either be able to work around a paywall or alternatively subscribe and support a content source?
I'm not so sure this is the case regarding paper straws/cups. At least regarding paper cups, they do not involve paper alone but some addition of plastics (extra hardness and plasticity, avoiding water soaking). I suspect it's the same for straws as the same reasons apply. So this measurement is likely a result of production and not outside pollution.
Which is besides the point and a minor nitpick at best.

The fact of the matter is these techniques are well established black hat ways of preventing the user from discovering what you're doing on their device.
Looking at my friend's medical school applications, more than half the essay prompts were asking for sob stories. Not like when I applied to undergrad and was usually asked to describe an accomplishment.
Yes, e-ink pricetags are one niche of e-ink devices. The other niche is e-readers (which are a luxury version of installing an e-reading app on your phone). Maybe the niche of solar-powered billboards (e.g. bus-stop signs) will also take off, but that's about it.

E-ink is great, but it is niche and basically everything that you can do with an EPD, you can do with an LCD. E-ink screens are in the at best tens of millions, whereas LCDs are in the billions per quarter - there are over 6 billion smartphone owners in the world already, and LCDs are in everything from supermarket self-checkout kiosks to laptops to smart fridges, they utterly demolish E-Ink in scale.

I love e-ink screens, but there's no denying the tech's business-case is rather marginal and that won't change anytime soon.
> wake up feeling like I didn’t actually sleep

I don't feel tired when I wake up, but I don't feel like I 'reset' either. I've had a couple of times where I'll wake right up and bang something out like I was being dictated to. It's almost like all the pieces were already there in your mind and they fall together when you aren't trying to force them. Brains are weird.
The “history” is not very accurate either.
> It would be nice if someone were to start working on an aftermarket linux distribution/ecossytem that targets eink devices. It's a lot of work to do, though, so I'm not surprised that nobody has picked up that torch yet.

That is what I'm trying to do with https://github.com/bjesus/air . Kobo runs mainline Linux quite fine, and specifically PostmarketOS works great. Assembling an interface that plays nicely with the device hasn't actually been that difficult!

Okay, so... in the coin flipping case, because entropy is already low, I follow the argument that generally attempts to add complexity are likely to make things worse. There's not much room to make things better to begin with.

Not sure that it follow that the same conclusion applies in the cases of other engineering processes you listed, like "configuring a Linux base image for a specific server role" or "setting up a complex cloud environment from scratch" or... "approaching a stranger in a bar"?

Those are already higher entropy processes, with more desirable and more undesirable outcomes, where telling the difference between desirable and undesirable outcomes is much harder to begin with, and so the general advice of 'expend energy to reduce the likelihood of undesirable outcomes' doesn't so immediately suggest that adding what you call 'complexity' is necessarily bad. There are MANY paths to reducing entropy in these sort of situations. Complexity that adds more outcomes can improve the situation in these cases if the new outcomes are both desirable and probable - or at least more probable than the undesirable outcomes they also add.

I just think that if the conclusions from your toy example don't translate obviously to actionable insight into how to improve the toy example, it's unlikely they translate into actionable insight for how to improve real scenarios.
Definitely, as C++ allows using binary libraries from the get go, instead of rebuilding the world after each checkout, or clean build on the CI/CD pipeline.

There are workarounds like sccache, but again additional tooling to take into account, across all target platforms.
Thats like saying YouTube isn't needed because anyone can upload a video to S3.

I’m in the exact same mindset as you; youtube allows you to pay to rid yourself of ads (which is ironic because the more free you are with money the more attractive you must be to advertisers)- so I think they are better than most.

but if I must take an alternative position: the last time I used youtube without premium (which happens sometimes because its not so smooth to log in if its a temporary session); the number and length of the ads was absurd, multiple levels of unskippable ads, minutes long, with volume that is much higher than the content itself. Awful experience and I can see why people who don’t have the free money want to lower it a little.

Thats of course not including sponsored content which contains an ad inside the video itself- even YT premium users get those.
> I suspect there is something more going on than that.

Me too. Slow Sunday morning, so curiosity got the best of me, to a point, so I went checking.

But I couldn't figure out how to check the latest available kernel package on Manjaro while not running it. The software.manjaro.org page is terrible and made my laptop attempt to fly away.

Anyway, there's no "linux" on the search page, and they don't seem to have a "linux" (all by itself) package like Arch does. Tried linux-kernel, linux-stable, no dice.

Searching on Google, I've found a link to the "linux61-headers" package: https://software.manjaro.org/package/linux61-headers.

So I've tried to change the URL. linux66-headers sends me to the apps list (so I guess that means there's no such page?). linux65-headers exists in the form of 6.5.0rc5 (is there a good reason why text isn't selectable on the site?!). linux64-headers also exists as version 6.4.9.

It should be funny to send unsuspecting people on the latest RC while not having the latest stable. My Arch has been running 6.4.12 for the last two days, IIRC.
