So much missing context here, at least for me.

What is the rollback they are talking about? Is it in terms of something new in google chrome?

From what I can tell, they are looking for certain amount of ads 'injection' to come from chrome. What does that really mean? Does chrome really control the ads injected into the search results from google? I had assumed that was directly from google. Or maybe something happened in the recent chrome update that reduced the number of direct queries heading to google?

Also what's with the suggestion to increase the search box vertical space to increase in a search tab to make search prominent? That sounds pretty interesting to me.
My child experience always featured them respecting boundaries I set around places they could yell, but I'll admit that's probably very situational.

I was complaining about it elsewhere on this page, but WatchOS 10 seems to have done something awful to raise-to-speak's accuracy -- hopefully it's a bug that they'll promptly fix.

Most of my timer usage for cooking is actually with a HomePod mini that I have in my kitchen, which I've found to be very reliable for it. That said, in part it's because until this most recent round of OS updates it was the only Apple device that let you run multiple simultaneous timers, so I haven't had any chance to rebuild habits away from it yet. :D
I have never seen a PNG image show a lower resolution subset before it has fully loaded. (I've never seen an interlaced PNG, ever. And I always turn it off.)
If you are going to be that brazen about it, perhaps having a quick meeting instead of just laying everything out in an email like that is the better approach.

Best approach would be to not do it at all but I guess that's too much to ask.
That's the standard core idea in nearly every religion. For example, a more familiar version of it is: one becomes two (spirit and matter), the two create the third (all things in reality), and the three create everything else. The idea of trinity is the same in principle. There is, in fact, a direct analogy in science: the laws of nature are unreal and immutable (the "spirit"), the essense of matter is hardly real, and when the two meet, all the real things and effects are created (the "third"), but if we look close enough, all three are same law of nature, that appears in different forms.
Great, another random Mozilla project that will be dead within 18 months.

My friend had bariatric surgery yesterday and before he did it I researched it on the Cleveland Clinic website (a very reliable source).

What I found there is what this article gets around to in a meandering way. Apparently modern medicine knows that diet and exercise mostly can't change a person's body from their set weight. The stats bear it out.

Both the clinic and the article conclude that surgery helps the body learn a new weight by removing the stomach tissue that signals hunger and changing the person's overall hormone levels.
And you have the same, compared to most of the continent of Africa. It just feels like blame-shifting, in GP’s frame.

Most folks on this board have vastly more wealth than I do - that doesn’t make them/you bad people, even if they/you pursue that raise and promotion at work. I dunno, I just think this recent tendency to call anyone with “more” inherently evil as a result (or to dog whistle at evil) is thoughtless, trite nonsense.
This was discussed here the other day. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37675467
The context is missing because the link is to somebody posting a screenshot of one page of a pdf of a scan of a printed email thread on Twitter. The full email thread was discussed extensively yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37675467
It's odd to call this a post-mortem without discussing anything about the circumstances of the creation, what their root cause was, and how that will be avoided in future.
Even better: I sent back an unopened Librem5 because they said I’d get a refund. 10 months later and no refund after monthly emails, including cc’ing the executive team and their legal counsel. I’ll be filing FTC and state AG complaints when I get the time. Absolutely do not ever buy from them, they’re scam artists.
Very cool! The challenge is now filling spaces with different lighting, i.e. sunlight entering a window in a mostly dark room while a lamp illuminates a wall.
It's mostly Japanese for me. I don't find this content relevant since I can't understand it.
How do you know? Is there another email that mentions Omnibox?
That's cool. I can see why they're doing given the foundations goals. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/

Tooting my own horn but:

"The truth is that Google and Facebook and the other large marketing data companies probably have some very sophisticated models of purchase intent. These companies likely know exactly when someone is making the choice, and could show people the relevant ad at the precise moment when they are most susceptible to it. But, the entire business model of these companies is to increase spend on their products. Why would they tell anyone something that would reduce ad spend?"

You have made two claims

1. That virtually none of the progress made on Electric vehicles in the past decade would have happened without Tesla. This is unfalsifiable, but I can see that Ford, Mitsubishi, Honda, Nissan, Mini/BMW, Fiat and others were already mass-producing electric cars for sale in the US in 2012. Do I think that Tesla accelerated the idea of electric cars being cool? yes. Do I think that Tesla alone are responsible for getting us from the electric Ford Focus, to the Mustang Mach E? No. I'm pretty sure that was Ford.

2. That highly innovative, fast-paced workspaces are necessarily more dangerous to workers. We can point at the numerous innovative, efficient workplaces that are known to 'move fast and break things' where that isn't true. We could use the company that popularized the phrase, Facebook, as an example. Working for Facebook isn't notoriously dangerous. If you prefer hardware we can point to the company that used to own Tesla's Fremont factory, Toyota, who famously innovated higher quality and cheaper assembly at that very factory.

> Perhaps you disagree with the statement that when you move fast that progress happens faster?

When it comes to physical processes, I would push back on that. Moving fast can just mean doing shitty work. Turn the speed of the assembly line up to 11 and see if better cars come out.

Maiming people so rich westerners can have cool cars is indefensible, and judging by the state of other car companies, unnecessary. I've worked in dangerous manufacturing facilities. They weren't faster or more innovative.
It's not a war crime, but slavery and the genocide of Native Americans was not super great either. Doesn't count if you do it within your own borders!

Outside of strictly defined "war crimes", we have a very long history of interventionism, imperialism, support of coups, installation and support of dictators, overthrow of governments, military actions with foreign nations to install our own form of government / economy / morality. We've destabilized whole regions and nations, birthed massive terrorist organizations, overthrown countries, annexed territories and sovereign nations, and we continue to invade any nation that doesn't have nukes with our special forces (or to support foreign special forces) to attack targets of value.

Stalin was a mass-murdering fuckhead, for sure. But the USSR's actions look a whole lot like the New Imperialism every other major nation has been practicing since the 19th century. Putin is a new Stalin, for sure. But in the time between Stalin and now, we, the USA, have pulled wayyyyy more heinous shit on the world than Russia has.

Ask HN: Are startups still operating in 'default alive' mode?
Last year in May, YC sent an email[0] to its startups asking them to "plan for the worst" and try to be 'default alive' for 24 months. We took that advice seriously and drastically reduced our spend, which extended our runway at the expense of growth. I was wondering if other founders are still running their companies in 'economic uncertainty' mode, or things are relatively back to normal?

Anecdotally, from talking to other founders in the Bay Area, it seems like early stage fundraising hasn't reduced as drastically as predicted, albeit at lower valuations.

Sure, but not at the expense of our home, which means we may never colonize other planets, and that's okay; life down here is amazing.
Seriously. I am actually quite a fan of Chomsky, but he is reflexively America bad. You always always have to take what he says with the massive pillar of salt that his default position on everything geopolitics/IA related is "America Bad".
I used the goog.* stuff once upon a time. I remember using it outside Google meant bundling it with a .jar built by a single guy that hadn't been updated in years.

Have you watched any of these debates? In all that I have seen him participate in the other party was gracious and patient, assuming good faith even when there was little evidence of such, generally far more polite than I could manage.
that doesn't change anything in this conversation, though.

one can still have lots of I2C devices on one bus if they can be given unique addresses.
> and antisymmetric operators what kinds of symbols?

Probably horizontally (flip-)asymmetric but 180-degree rotationally symmetric. With negation-like operators being vertically flip-symmetric.
It’s actually better translated ‘though shall not murder’ for the modern reader.
The front page test is a policy I've seen, ie: if this was on the front page of the newspaper (or hacker news) would it be positive or negative?
this type of discourse is very common in physics, where the theoretical physicists propose a testable hypothesis and then the experimentalists verify or disprove it.
The translate widget isn't working, on my mobile browser. As a product, it is definitely redundant and seems a bit late to the game, but I guess it won't hurt? ... who knows what'll happen.
As a point of calibration, a hot melt perfect binding machine for books up to 500 pages, up to 180 books/hour, is around $7000. You know the print cost for laser copies. The “print” aspect, incremental cost and logistics, for a book is pretty modest for any niche interest publications. Speaking here of functional performance of the published content, and not the fetish/status side of the physical book.

My local university press is a hit-and-miss affair. Some books have been real classics, some books have been laughably bad. The university press probably ranks low in institutional power pecking order and so have evolved to operate as little more than a vanity press for certain academic departments. The writing and editing of content proves to be only as good as the academic department pushing its publication. And that is often wanting. In my interest area of local history, my local university press, which should by rights be the top quality publisher, is all over the map in quality, while out-of-state university press books on our local history are uniformly excellent.
Were these caused by the same policies too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Biker_War

Anyone that’s been to sweden can see how segregated some of these people lived for “decades”, and not by their choice. What i dont understand is why such countries advertise themselves as “welcoming” when in fact are pretty unwelcoming and closed. No wonder people struggle to integrate. People dont just appear from nowhere, they are being pulled by certain factors - one being that the swedish economy is supposedly advanced.

Instead though, sweden, germany, etc want what they call “cheap labour” - a people living in perpetual poverty doing jobs “the locals dont want”. All masked by virtue signaling. Well it turns out the cheap labour doesnt want to live like a perpetual underclass and wants a way out. These criminal acts are just signs of desperation. I think they should be dealt with swiftly and boldly and the criminal element rooted out but people need to be given a real chance to integrate. Regardless, sweden is now a changed country and will remain so.
i will opt for `fix: make! code! great! again!`
As on every mastodon instance you can filter by language if you have an account.
Autorouting is of very limited value for only certain narrow use cases. Even the high dollar CAD packages won’t route your board for you in a reasonably good way, but they can be useful for routing length-matched buses and such after the user has set up all the constraints properly.

I think you have forgotten when you were a beginner.
Doesn’t work on the context of mental illness.
Glad to see this. I have only taken about 15 trips in Amtrak - always enjoyed it.
What's broken about Firefox mobile? I use the browser exclusively on my android phone (it's even set as the default webview); I don't think I have any notable pain points.
So the example used is reiterating the previous comment about "Apple good at certain things". Yes Apple is good at designing chips, and has been like that for at least decade. We all know that. But the question is what about areas that Apple isn't known to be good at and how successful they can be.
Except it’s the same memes over and over again so if there’s even the simplest deduplication their storage costs would be orders of magnitude less.

How many new images are actually uploaded daily? It has to be tiny compared to the same reaction gifs used over and over again.

That gave me full on goosebumps.

There’s something magical about certain machines that make some people emotional.

Will mostly second this, only issue I seem to have is YouTube, everything else works pretty damn well.
Well, that has no effect on the standards themself, just the onus of execution. So it's a moot point. That being said the government will step in when things are obviously non-conforming, if you'd rather just report them. Which is the case for Tesla.

As to your latter point, labor suits are pretty heavily in favor of the worker and it's not hard to find a lawyer who will take a case on concession. Fees are also capped, delayed to completion and generally on the losing party to cover. So "the barrier" is as low as you want to consider the solidity of the case.

Considering worker's comp and civil suit structuring are the two pieces of legislation that are most heavily attacked by corporations in California, I wouldn't consider them ineffective; it's certainly a matter of perspective, however.
Better than "event" would be "state", as in theoretically measurable arrangement of things.
At least in java there are open source libraries that do this that are pretty standard. For instance, Mapstruct. It, for the most part is already automagic.

Doing it for a mapping feels like a deficiency in the code unless chatgpt is putting thoughts behind the variable names and reasoning about what mapping makes the most sense.
> the founding axiom that most folks will have is that the "normal" ethical view is the "correct" view.

I half-see your point here, and there are many other points to be made about ethics (which I still think Nietzsche does best) but I feel like you're brushing away Chomsky's argument. He looks at morality like language. It's just that normal does indeed have an apparently wide range, which according to his theory is actually quite limited. I like this idea. Similar to the limits of reason itself; from one perspective the human condition limits us to a frustratingly small territory of what is thinkable at all. Morality is narrow because humans are alike. This is a claim about the human condition itself, not about the moral majority.

The only real exception i can think of is psychopaths, but I think that they do live up to their name.
What a bad take, so Apple should not only forgo $15B revenue per year they should also spend a ton of resources to make their own search engine while providing a worse search experience to their users.
That doesn't conflict with anything I've said. Yes, the checkpoint is code. It's not source code.

It's not what Mistral's engineers edit to create this release. Just like an ELF file is necessarily contains the code flow graph, in a way extractable by experts, but isn't open source because... it's not source.
A Mastodon host run by a organization that (mostly) fights for privacy and against the browser monopoly.

Right now, it seems they're doing invite only so they can moderately control the load and keep track so everything keeps running.
Looks like they're using Babel and Rollup.

Once you sign in/up, you’ll also need to join a waitlist or input your invite, as it’s invite-only. Quite disappointing, especially when this content should already be accessible through Mastodon.

Am I supposed to join a waitlist for this specific instance? Feels like too much of a hassle for almost no reward.
That sounds really exciting! Do you happen to know if such boards will be competitive with the RPi5 eg quad-core etc. I love the idea of RISC-V resolving some of the drivers dilemma that SBCs seem to face. I recall some talk of extensions that might make it viable as a GPU core one day. Not to rain on the RPi5 parade of course, i'm sure it's a fantastic bit of kit :)

Weird that it doesn't have the full OpenGL, even if it was through Zink.
You can talk about your nefarious strategy openly if it is with a single person at a time.
I didn't get invite code beforehand I just signed in my Firefox account and it allowed me to register, maybe the sign up page message needs to be updated

I've seen the word "enshittification" three times in three days now, and it is already rubbing my last nerve raw.

we make fun of business jargon and buzzword fads, and we do it just as much as anyone else, and it sickens me.
As someone close to the industry, this was an interesting thing to think about -- but without some other, huge structural changes to the industry, it won't really happen.

1) Distribution is where studios' value-add really comes through: they're the ones who have contracts with the big theater chains (or, in the case of tv, often own the networks+streaming services) and are in control of the dates/weekends/IMAX exclusivities/etc.

2) Financing - Movies and TV are _expensive_. It's not just the high-profile actors or marketing budgets – indeed, many high-profile actors will take huge pay-cuts to work on passion projects – but, if you were to take away those costs, and for sake of argument let's say that everyone acting/shooting/editing the movie is working for free, there's still huge capital expenses to be outlaid: location fees, permit fees, cameras (even a single indie-film camera can be upwards of $50k), sets + construction, props, editing+vfx software, food, transport, clothing, makeup, logistics and infrastructure including things as fundamental as electricity and plumbing if you're filming anywhere that's not a backlot... It takes a huge capital upfront outlay to make a movie or tv show that looks anything like what we're used to seeing on tv and movie screens. Studios can (a) provide the upfront cash and deal structure such that financing the productions is feasible in the first place (b) re-use and cost-optimize everything from sets/space/cameras/software/support-staff across productions where it makes sense, so a show or movie isn't having to re-invent everything from the ground up each time.

The closest right now the WGA or SAG can possibly be to "creating their own movies" is working with an indie studio, like A24 or NEON, who are still very much studios, but often with a more "can-do" and "per-production" approach. These studios also settled with WGA and SAG very soon after the strikes began, and were granted strike waivers so they could continue production, while the Disneys and Netflixes were picketed.

In short, unlike software engineers where a single dedicated engineer can pretty much create an app or business mvp in a weekend, writers and actors deal with the constraints of the real-world.
Considering it's just a Mastodon instance, why would you use this and not the other hundreds of instance (or your own)?
Forgive the paraphrasing but:

> Apple should seek to use its monopoly power on iOS browsers to take greater search revenue

This couldn’t possibly end with large suits.

And after:

> Google are bad for privacy

This article is nuts.
Chromecast hits 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for DNS, so if you can configure your router to route port 53 on those addresses to your router's address, then it will use your router's DNS server, which can resolve IP addresses on your local network.
How it works is well beyond my ability to answer, but I can attempt a guess on what the result looks like. Humans build complex mental models. As far as I can tell, LLMs don't.

An LLM playing chess is only able to do so because it essentially encoded what to do for any given board state by having seen a lot of chess games. That's why it's fairly competent at the beginning of a game when the number of possible states is low, but falls apart in later stages where memorization is useless. That's why LLMs make illegal chess moves, generate code that doesn't parse and hallucinate. They have no mental models, no understanding.

A human playing chess would instead slowly build up a mental model of the game as they played and play off that model.

... maybe, I dunno.
The USA offshored it. And the USA is not the entire world.
