> frame upscaling via FSR already exists in everything from DOOM to Tears of the Kingdom. You may already be playing upscaled 480p games.

I know, and those games look awful unless you're playing them on a tiny screen or sitting far away from it. 1080p screens were standard 10+ years ago, and rendering games natively at that resolution and 60fps was easily done on any decent PC of the time, even if sometimes you sometimes had to turn down the quality settings a bit.

An entire decade later, I think it's unacceptable to release games that cannot be played at native 1080p 60fps on current gen hardware. DLSS & co. are simply being used as excuses by developers to not properly optimize their games (in some cases, releasing games that struggle to run on the best available hardware, see Starfield), and they will never look as good as native resolution.

All this focus on cookies and FLoC feels like smoke and mirrors from Google.

Modern adtech can track users regardless if cookies are enabled or not, and whether they enable this new Chrome feature or not, via browser fingerprinting. They've been doing this for years.

So this new "privacy sandbox" is a diversion to the public, and particularly to law makers, that signals "see, we care about user privacy". When in fact it ultimately makes no impact on their revenue.

The public and law makers are barely starting to get an understanding about cookies, and there's a growing concern about them, so this is Google being proactive towards the blowback. Fingerprinting is much more complex to understand, and concern about it is so under the radar, that it will take many more years for the focus to catch up to these nefarious practices.

The frog is being boiled[1], make no mistake about that.

That's a nice poem! Although I disagree.

Therapeutic use: yes. These should be controlled substances.
It's arguably not, depending on how you slice "worse."

Google's philosophy on this sort of thing has been pretty consistent for over a decade: they trust themselves with user data. It goes in a vault, it's very hard to access inappropriately, and they have some of the best security possible on the modern web. Practically speaking, yes, it's still a risk; if the data collections get breached, that's all the data. But they don't see themselves as more of a risk than anything else out there, so for them it's not philosophically inconsistent to claim other companies doing what they are doing should be considered a privacy threat.

... And honestly, I think there's a good case to be made that if you don't trust Google to respect your privacy and secure your data, You shouldn't be using Chrome period, because the organization you don't trust controls the source code of that browser.
Very cool! Superglue for cuts. The ol' waiter trick.

You are assuming reasonableness on behalf of the regulators in question. In an ideal world, they hopefully said "you cannot give information to your own advertising/analytics division that you don't give to others". However, they could just as easily have said "you must provide either third-party cookies or a replacement for them", without offering the much more reasonable alternative of turning both off and not giving Google advertising/analytics any information either.

So, what did the regulators actually say, and does it in fact allow Google to turn off third-party cookies without any replacement? If it does, then this is Google's fault for adding this feature in Chrome. If it doesn't, then this is the fault of bad regulation.

We use Lance extensively at my startup. This blog post (previously on HN) details nicely why: https://thedataquarry.com/posts/vector-db-4/ but essentially it’s because Lance is a “just a file” in the same way SQLite is a “just a file” which makes it embedded and serverless and straightforward to use locally or in a deployment.

There's simply no way that can ever be built though. "Browser v2 provides X which will call argument 1 in 2 seconds" -> how would browser v1 possibly hide that it is not v2? Anyone can build a thing that checks for that behavior, and now you have a piece of information.

Or for more useful stuff, "X gets you data from URL Y". Either you get that data or you don't. Voila, data about the browser.

The only alternative is that you never ever release any new features or fix any bugs.

What’s so ‘rough and clunky’ about Firefox? To me it just works everywhere I have installed it!

Genuinely curious!
The problem with this line of thinking is that a person can also cut and paste code that they don’t have a license to use… but until they do, they haven’t done anything wrong by reading the code.

So either we carve out an explicit exception that machines aren’t allowed to do things that are remarkably similar to what humans do… which would be a massive setback for AI in the US.

Or we agree that generative models are subject to the same rules that humans are — they can’t commit copyright infringement, but are able to appropriately consume copyrighted material that a human would be able to consume.

The second option seems to me to be much simpler, nicer, and more appropriate than the first.

As a casual user of the internet, I'm growing more and more annoyed with it, simply because of all the times I lean in to examine an image that my visual cortex is stumbling on some part of, only to realize after a couple seconds, "oh, it's AI", and sit back up straight.
I worked at Square from 2014 to 2016 and this wasn't my experience.

In fact, Square invested a lot in infrastructure that was pretty impressive compared to other companies of a similar size. We're talking 800-1200 people and they had a single common custom deployment system that had been built before Docker was a thing, and later replaced that with a new in house system (p2) based on containers while I was there. They had a common custom CI system that all services used, and that actually worked quite well (much nicer than Jenkins which was common at the time). And Square really only had 3 languages that were acceptable to use for services (Java, Ruby, and Golang; node.js being phased out). I remember interviewing people at other larger companies and finding they didn't have things we had at Square in 2014, like a common way of configuring and registering services, or an easy way to see what's running on a particular box, or service-to-service ACLs, or a tool to coordinate online schema changes. Square even built their own S2S RPC protocol based on protobufs, and went on to participate in the design of gRPC.

Maybe it's changed since then, I don't know. But the culture was pretty solid when I was there. And the plateng team ran multiple DC failover tests of our service while I worked there.
Drowning Machine: The Dangers of Low Head Dams
It seemed much beloved by teams who’d used SVN or other source controls that had incremental version numbers, switched to Git, and strongly wanted to implement their old workflow in Git.

I worked at a shop that tried really hard to pretend that it was possible to strictly order commits (“What if dev A writes commit 1234, then dev B writes commit 5678 and pushes it, then dev A pushes 1234. Which came first?” “The earlier one!” “What does ‘earlier’ mean here?” “Why can’t you just do it!”) and they thought Git Flow was the greatest thing ever.

Put another way, it was popular among the same people who write every language as though it were their favorite. Have Python but they only have Java experience? All their Python looks like Java! Well, they thought Git Flow was spiffy, too.
VS Code can achieve much more performant editing with the same server, so there is no excuse for emacs to be slow.

> Meanwhile Google has access to all this data, so he tells me all this is just gaslighting so they can illicitly protect their monopoly on web data.

To throw them in the same pit, they're taking a page from Apple's playbook: the privacy benefits for the user will justify any market effect from closing the platform and keeping all user data internals. Platform owner gets to protect the user from some of the abuse, while gaining a critical edge on the competition.

In the current climate, I'm not sure there is any good angle to solve this, short of strong regulation limiting the advantage they get from doing these "privacy first" moves (basically find a way to forbid the platform owners from using their own users' data...I'm not holding my breath)
Psychedelics != Opiates and Meth
This is what people on the "this is copyright infringement" side don't understand. Even if it somehow is copyright infringement by the standards of today's law, those laws will inevitably change in the near future. Generative AI is far, far too lucrative and convenient to society for it to be crippled by obsolete copyright infringement laws formed in a time where generative AI was a thing of science fiction novels.
Going off on a tangent: I used to use Gentoo in the past. I suspect, if you use one of the common processors, compiling your own binaries doesn't really give you any performance benefits, does it?

(I have to admit I stopped using Gentoo mostly because it encouraged me to endlessly fiddle with my system, and it would invariably end up broken somehow. That's entirely my fault, and not Gentoo's. I switched to Archlinux as my distribution of choice, and I manage to hold myself back enough not to destroy my installation.)
Cannot agree more. Using linux since Slackware in the '90s but still now and again Linux for everyday use can be so frustrating. Currently using Ubuntu 22.10, because 23.04 has a problem with multiple window management. But 22.10 on my PC have mono sound, but it is stereo on 23.04. Stream works fantastic on 23.04, but I have problems login in to some games on 22.10. Having problems using Cuda on 23.04 but it works 100% on 22.10, and on and on it goes. Did go back to 22.04, but there were other problems then, so decided 22.10 will be it for now. As so many people said before, Linux is 95% there, it is just the last 5% that is so frustrating.
You know, I shouldn’t malign it. It’s really not bad at all in and of itself. I just wish it was as well integrated and as polished as some of the others can be.

You went for very old movies which skews your analysis.

A lot of the old movies you picked are famous and popular in movie pop culture. Audience scoring this in RT probably went out of their way to watch these films, they are not as organic as recent scores as you have a larger number audience scores created by movie lovers.

If you find examples post 2015 when RT became a mainstream scoring system that would be great.

Only movie that's current in your list is "The Joker" which among critics is considered to be a copycat of other critically acclaimed films (taxi driver, the comedian). This is a film that tried hard to look artsy fartsy but was not.

Whoa, that summary went off the rails. I think I found the problem and had it regenerate the summary for that article. It now reads:

> This file contains a collection of numerical facts and units conversions, as well as astronomical data related to moving Mars to a different location. The file can be loaded into Emacs and used within the editor. It provides various units of measurement and constants, such as the gravitational constant, Avogadro number, and Planck's constant. It also includes data on the masses, radii, densities, and orbital parameters of celestial bodies like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and the Moon. The file concludes with escape velocities and velocities of these celestial bodies.

What makes you think Chrome's market share will decrease? Google has a strong hold of their position, and other browsers are barely competing.

If anything, it wouldn't surprise me if Mozilla announces that they're discontinuing Firefox. Those alternative browsers you mention don't even register on the usage radar to be relevant in a browser "war".

Everything seems to indicate that we're heading towards an even worse single-browser dominance than IE had in the 90s.

Testing is I think exactly one of the parts where LLMs can help a lot. I am not so sure in the rest of the codebase.

I am of the idea that software in general is written once but read a lot. But, for tests it is a good thing to have really extensive coverage. More than maybe a human is willing to do.

Well, you could also look into removing some rules, in addition or instead of piling on new ones. Eg you could weaken intellectual property rights, to make it easier for upstart competitors to take on the established giants.

Or you could make it easier for foreign competitors to enter local markets. (As an example, the US has become more protectionist of their tech markets. And the EU has a lot of red tape that's even harder to follow, if you are from outside the area.)

Thankfully, in a rare turn of fate, capital will be on the side of the laissez-faire instead of the stringent anti-copyright-infringers for once. You do not own the rights to material created by a generative AI.
How does cryptography software avoid such side channels? Normalize the performance somehow.

If I remember correctly, Firefox's fingerprinting resistance will actually slow down functionality to achieve that. Reduces the precision of performance timers or something. Makes CAPTCHAs exponentially more obnoxious.

In this thread you've said both that people won't do 'unsavory' work, like cleaning, for social accolades but also that the people who do volunteer to clean up public spaces do it for social accolades (Virtue signaling)

I'm not going to pretend to know the motivations of all people who clean up beaches but it is unlikely that the overwhelming majority do it simply for clout farming. People are more than one thing. Regardless they are just one example of so many examples of good public work that people do right now - in a culture that I would argue does not meaningfully incentivize this behavior. I don't think whether or not people do it when they are alone is relevant here. We're literally arguing about whether people would in a different culture, not the selfish one we currently occupy. I think a society like that is not only possible but necessary.

But anyway, last thing I'll say is that I get the sense that your view is more informed by a pessimism about "how people are" - and that how they are is concrete and unchanging - rather than about data or thinking more holistically.
It is good question and not easy to answer. But you may not need to.

Apply for both remote and in person positions and then if and when you get offers make remote/in person a factor if you have 2 or more offers at the same time.
