I didn't read the Ars article as saying FLoC or Topics make Chrome less privacy-preserving than it was before, but rather that, once Chrome disables third-party cookies, they make Chrome less privacy-preserving than other browsers with third-party cookies disabled. What the author would prefer is that Google also disable third-party cookies and also not ship FLoC or Topics.
There's an official Apple extension for Chrome for that now, surprisingly: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/icloud-passwords/p...
IIRC the failure of the first lead to the second.

And if Steve Gibson is to be believed Topics is not only an improvement, it's an unqualified good. (I'm not yet convinced though if Google didn't have so many other harvesting avenues I'd see it as better for privacy too.)

I hate that there isn't a privacy.com like service for phone numbers.

Ironvest (previously called Blur) has a service where they give you a virtual number...but it's only one number, and once you start using it at enough places, it becomes hard to delineate what's junk and what's not.

I want something like what OP is describing wherein I can give trusted entities my real phone number and every other business I interact with some different number that I can terminate whenever.
I mean, how many interracial couples do you see around you? In PA, USA, I see around 98% of white girls with white guys, 99.9% of Indian girls with Indian dudes, and around 85% of Asian girls with Asian guys (the rest are exclusively with white guys). Interestingly, even among white-white couples, I've seen the majority of blonde girls with blonde guys (the rest prefer black dudes for some reason).

Yes, it's a relatively small sample (just a US state), but I've seen enough to conclude that at least when it comes to ethnicity/race/skin-color, opposites don't attract each other. There's a term for it—homophily.
My reading of the parent comment suggests that they're in favour of decriminalizing them, but not permitting the commercial sale of them. Acquisition would then be achieved by e.g. prescriptions / medical studies, growing for personal use, or from "friends".

The important thing is that no one is charged criminally for possession.
Totoro being placed above spirited away is a tragedy.
Psychedelics have anti-additive effects. Common ones like LSD, mushrooms, Ayahuasca have helped many people quit cigarettes, alcohol, and the stronger ones like Iboga help people get off of meth and opiates. Based on what you’ve said, you would actually support this.

don't mean to nitpick but not sure where you're getting Japanese from, in Japanese mama is Okaasan or Haha and Otousan or Chichi for dada. (I don't know the evolution of either of the words, it may be that they were closer to mama and dada in the past or distant past, but contemporar Japanese doesn't fit the pattern)

No. Sorry. That is just silly and not born out by anyone’s experience.

Is it really built into Safari, or are you referring to the iCloud option that "privately" helps reduce Cloudflare demands?
Yes, it should be "positive%". That's an interesting LLM-level optimization.

Doesn't this token sampling optimization require using a locally-running model like Llama?

I am presuming that OpenAI doesn't provide direct access to token probabilities in its API.
I wouldn't underestimate the impact the Chrome TV ads had on regular computer users. The banners atop Google search results encouraging people to switch also played a big role. by the time Chrome launched, I think there were a ton of people who were sick to death of hearing one extended family member or another who was into tech cajole them to drop Internet Explorer. Switching to Chrome was easy. Just click the link that Google gave them, and plus, they were familiar with it from TV.

Operation Chile: Top Secret – US role during the military dictatorship [video]
It wasn't just IBM. Everything those days came with amazing documentation. I got a pretty average "office" suite with my first PC called "ability plus" and it came with a thick binder of documentation that explained everything including the most complex features in detail.

It was even a ring binder so when updates came out you got a pack of updated pages you could insert at the right places. When I bought a scenery kit for fight simulator it came with a binder full of maps.

More in line with this equipment in the article, DEC's terminals came with similar quality documentation including that explaining every control code. No complexity or feature was hidden. Same with my dot matrix printer. Things an average user would never mess with, but I wrote a few programs to play with the double-height fonts and custom character sets. My first color TV came with full electrical schematics and instructions on how to open it, something that could be lethal to an average user and they'd never attempt it. But the manuals were there to perpetuate this information and in case you needed to use a third party repairman.

I miss that, though we can do without the kilos of dead trees with every product. These days we have pdf for that. But the transparency was amazing. These days there's way too much secret sauce and lock-in / walled gardens.

Also up into the 90s we didn't need a right to repair movement because we still had that right and access to spare parts. When the plastic pocket clip on my Sony walkman broke off I went to Sony's headquarters near Schiphol Airport and simply got a new one. I got a button PCB assembly for my stereo at the same time because some buttons were failing. Phillips had the same service. Leading to much less e-waste.

Not everything has become better these days. It's not just old man shaking a stick. Design for obsolescence is really a thing now.
> English is a bit odd due to having several different words for an animal and its flesh

How odd is this? I noticed something odd in Mandarin:

cow: niu 牛

beef: niu rou 牛肉

sheep: yang 羊

mutton: yang rou 羊肉

pig: zhu 猪

pork: rou 肉 [it's possible to specify 猪肉, but not necessary]

deer: lu 鹿

venison: lu rou 鹿肉

And some where the distinction doesn't exist in English:

chicken (animal): ji 鸡

chicken (food): ji rou 鸡肉 [English pullet refers to the animal, not the meat]

goat (animal): yang 羊

goat (food): yang rou 羊肉

But there's also this one:

jellyfish (animal): shuimu 水母

jellyfish (food): haizhe 海蜇

One good idea I've heard is to reschedule pyschedelics to the same level that commonly used medications for things like ADHD, anti-depressants, etc. are, i.e. Schedule IV. The main effect really would be reducing the barriers to scientific study and clinical trials while retaining some basic barriers to reckless use by people who have no idea of issues such that the dose-response curve is more exponential than linear (e.g. the effect of 500 ug of LSD is not simply 5X the effect of 100 ug of LSD, etc.). A similar approach would be to only supply them in low-dose packages, which would also facilitate ease of microdosing approaches.

Using psychedelics should be contemplated as something like driving a car - letting someone who has never driven a car get on the road with no training whatsoever is just not that great of an idea.
Yes, that's often the case. Many interests (alcohol, police, private prisons) gain revenue from all the 'drug crimes' that really shouldn't be treated as severely as they are. It's also a common excuse to arrest, search, and oppress minority groups while the affluent majority generally gets a pass.
At least it anti-trust laws are hard at work! Glad it's not like the dark ages, when your operating shipped with a default browser that could be used to install any other browser you wanted.

Hungarian’s closest relatives are Khanty and Mansi. While Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian are indeed in the same Uralic language family, they were at the very opposite ends of the dialect continuum that ultimately produced that language family, and they no longer bear any close relationship.

That's like saying data centers shouldn't use slightly faster CPUs because they aren't tested yet.

You burn those CPUs in. You run them a bunch. Measure them. Measure their efficiency gains. If the gains are real, make a plan for scaling them up. Have fallback plans. The usual stuff. If a company has someone that does this as their job, they're on it.

If Bun affected your source code or development process, I would understand this perspective. Maybe don't use Bun-specific APIs yet, and just stick with the Node compatibility.

I’m surprised that NK can have such weak computing education at the population level and still find enough high level hackers and cybersecurity people to do these things.
That doesn’t matter.

If your air bag fails to deploy after a crash, the manufacture is responsible for the product defect. It doesn’t matter if the crash was an accident or someone intentionally and specifically crashing into you, the manufacturer is responsible for a defective air bag.
The manufacturer is not responsible for the crash, only the defective product. The other driver is not less responsible for a death or injury resulting from the crash.

Responsibility for the crash and its consequence's rest on the driver at fault.

Responsibility for a defective air bag rests on the manufacturer.

They are two separate issues and not zero-sum.

If someone clips your airbag wires before the crash, that is not a product defect and the manufacturer is not liable, but that is not what happened here. There was no prior access or modification to the device or software. Apple claims to have a secure phone yet has a critical zero click vulnerability similar to an earlier vulnerability they previously fixed.

Pointing a finger at NSO could one day lead to some government’s action aimed at influencing another government’s actions toward a private organization. NSO doesn’t care if they’re unpopular online.

Highlighting Apple’s responsibility in this is how we incentivize better security in consumer products.

I don’t think companies should be responsible for every exploit all the time. Nobody is pointing fingers at ViaSat for being hacked by the Russians. There have been repeated iMeassage exploits that could be prevented with easy to implement defaults or simple opt-in settings (do not implicitly trust unknown numbers) which have been asked for after each exploit and ignored.
Sounds great. Now we just need to figure out a way to stop Google instead of Google and numerous other surveillance capitalism corporations.

I'd guess many would take issue with the list, even when sharing the devotion for Ghibli. Personally, I'd place The Wind Rises at number 1 and possibly at number 1 in my all time movie list, animation or not. I always liked this review:

Critic David Ehrlich rated the film 9.7/10 and called it "perhaps the greatest animated film ever made." He wrote: "While initially jarring, Miyazaki's unapologetic deviations from fact help The Wind Rises to transcend the linearity of its expected structure, the film eventually revealing itself to be less of a biopic than it is a devastatingly honest lament for the corruption of beauty, and how invariably pathetic the human response to that loss must be. Miyazaki’s films are often preoccupied with absence, the value of things left behind and how the ghosts of beautiful things are traced onto our memories like the shadows of objects outlined by a nuclear flash. The Wind Rises looks back as only a culminating work can."

Isn't Brave basically what Google is trying to turn Chrome into? I use Brave on my mobile phone, but honestly I'm kinda turned off by the weird advertising it shoves on me despite theoretically protecting my privacy.

How can a software company with $17 billion in revenue be down for more than 8 hours? It seems hard to understand how failover systems could not have been successfully spun up within a couple hours of a total system meltdown, maybe someone else has insight into this. Square seems like it'd be an order of magnitude less complex to keep running and swap to a failover, say compared with Youtube, Amazon.com, or other billion-dollar grossing software products (I could be wrong).
I often used fuck@you.com... but now you.com is active, so, sorry guys!
Given all the major tech companies aggressively fuzz everything maybe, just maybe, you're missing the additional possibility: fuzzing is still random and extensive fuzzing does not mean you will encounter the same code paths as anyone else.

You need to understand "do fuzzing" is not a magic trick to find all bugs in software.

Similarly: definitionally you will only ever see the bugs that are not found prior to shipping - any bugs that are found prior to software shipping will have been fixed.
Everyone who was there when it came out knows/remembers why. It was unbelievably fast and lightweight compared to Firefox and IE.
I tried that theory with quite a few things that didn't "exist" per se in Chinese, yet there were distinct Chinese words for them.
Plus there are plenty of food items from other cultures where we tend to use a native equivalent in English (spring rolls, rice paper rolls, sweet and sour pork, Swedish meatballs etc). Though to be fair we tend just to borrow the word wholesale. Not sure to what degree other languages have consistently done the same.

Excellent. Sites shouldn't know what user agent we're using anyway. Pretty much the only thing they use this for is to lock us out when we use "unsupported" browsers. The less information they get, the better. Hopefully they'll get rid of referrer too and weaken fingerprinting methods.

I have no doubt Google has self-serving motivations here but the result is still a win for us. I wish Firefox had enough leverage to force decisions like this down people's throats whether they like it or not but it just ain't so. Reality is imperfect so I'll take what I can get.
On Apple OS also two alternative browsers rising: Arc https://arc.net and Orion https://browser.kagi.com Both making nice progress with their own strong points.

I'm curious too! And I also agree that semver in _most_ languages is a mess.

I'm sure someone could build a semver-checker for Python or JS or Java or whatever, and I'd even be willing to help them and walk them through how cargo-semver-checks works. But in Rust, a big driver of adoption is that Rust and cargo are opinionated about things, so people adopt cargo-semver-checks not necessarily out of love for semver but out of a desire to not wake up to 100 people being upset in their GitHub issues about broken builds. The adoption situation might be harder for other languages with less opinionated versioning stories.
> It costs nothing to avoid these issues.

No. There are at least two kinds of costs. First, It takes time to search 'adjacent' domains. Second, by reducing your available acronyms/initialisms, you make it harder to map your architecture name onto those letters.

It is fun to think of some of the alternative BERT names that "could have been", such as BIDET = BIDirectional Encoder representations from Transformers.
Robot intuitively sounds like it could be a good candidate.

I don't think "computer" is quite that universal, though. AFAIK it's something else at least in French ("ordinateur"), Swedish ("dator"), Norwegian ("datamaskin"), Finnish ("tietokone"; lit. "knowledge/data machine") and Estonian ("arvuti"). I think Chinese has its own unrelated word, too. And about half of the African languages that I can easily check in Wikipedia have words that aren't at least immediately recognisable as related to the English word.

It's a commonly shared loan word but it doesn't seem to be quite that close to being shared by (nearly) all languages.
