I'll take option 3: a new browser using better technology (better design, protocols, etc) than chrome gets written by hundreds of open source advocates working together. The new browser becomes the standard for the Internet because it is not under the control of corporate interests and because of its superiority to decade old browsers.

Corporations and services are once again forced to standardize on open standards for web access or lose customers because the public (and techies specifically) will not support a proprietary software model for the public internet.

It's a cycle - corporations become big and successful, try to establish proprietary control, then lose massive market share to newly created competitors.

Once successful corporations get large, they tend to forget that eventually the frog getting boiled does jump out of the pot, and is usually angry when that happens.
Tons of close calls.

Nearly bought a portable monitor for cafe coding; it's just so great that there's a huge variety of panels being packaged & made available at decent prices now! 2k 16" 500 nit >60Hz HDR was my goal, and it was hard finding parametric matches. Just gonna put that idea on the shelf again, but it's excellent to see how much more is available.

Almost bought a "solar generator" to run some electronics off & feel good about, but sizing feels off. I need a signficant power station to feel ok running a potentially 600w+ computer, but then the station could handle more solar, but then I don't have enough ways to use all that power day to day. It feels weird. I wish I had the years to artisinally handcraft power systems for this all. It bugs me that 48v or wide-Vin DC power supplies aren't available to consumers; everything would be so much cooler if they were.

I did end up buying a couple hundred feet of cheap st38 string lights for patio space. And some small cheap 20w Neewer lights (rgb62), with their app control, to complement some bigger lights I use. And some better videography clamp mounts and magic ball arms, which among other things I want to use to mount my 360-degree camera onto my bicycle with, on a very extended arm for some spacy floaty ride around the city videos with. Bought a 512GB Samsung Pro Ultimate SD card for said camera. Finally bought the Premio Apagard toothpaste (nano hydroxyapatite) that I've been idling about. Bought some chai and some tea candles. Bought a Matter smart plug to dabble with.
But in Japan apparently nearly everyone who ran into it did just that.

Like you said, the difference is cultural --- I suspect they'd rather wait it out than embarrass themselves by jumping to a conclusion; of course, the unusually long install time is what they would report, bur only after they'd done as much as they could to attempt to show that it wasn't their own fault.
Given that it's Google, that's cold comfort.
A lot of whining because the domestic companies relied on tricks to sell their most wastefull products and produced things without any real need(an need that is not fueled by advertisment).
ArchiveTeam had a similar project for Google+ and they also said they downloaded zillions of Google+ pages and uploaded them to archive.org, but I have never been able to find the Google+ profile of anyone I know via their uploads — try finding the Google+ posts of Linus Torvalds or Terence Tao for example (just to pick two people who used to post pretty frequently and whose posts I used to read). I don't think they ever did an investigation of why this happened; as far as I can tell they just lost interest after Google+ shut down, and did not try to figure out what went wrong or even try retrieving the posts of any public profile.
You could say the same about every product Google has shut down.
This is the same process ArchiveTeam has used for all their previous work as well and there have been no issues.

Isn't a potentially-tampered copy better than none at all?
There are no known plans for Google to keep Blogger either.
Have had some level of security farce, like described in this paper, in every org I've ever been in.

The root cause is failing to hold security staff to a dual mandate: keeping the bad guys out AND keeping the good guys in.

Because they don't get held to account for obstructing everyone else's work, they naturally do every ass-covering piece of security theatre they can - they don't suffer any consequences.

The moment they're under carrot-and-stick for not interfering with productivity, as well as preventing intrusions, you get more acceptable outcomes.
"This vulnerability has always existed and it's never been an issue in the past" is not a very robust approach to security.
It hasn't changed. Im mostly watching with newpipe and it wasn't affected at all by this adblock-blocking.
I think that people controlling the AI will doom US, not the AI itself.

I am not interested in news that somebody died because of a hammer.

I want to know who weilded the hammer.
Eh, your argument doesn’t really involve thinking and banks purely on semantics, which you are making arbitrarily strict and according to your personal preference. In practice, “just no-bullshit functional” as in my first comment doesn’t mean absolute neglect of form.

I’m sorry but you’re not as clever as you think, and your reasoning signals that you’re not known as a good communicator or collaborator in your organization.
Hey HN- Here are some templates which cover a variety of data use-cases across Product, Sales, Marketing, Customer & Finance.

Is there a specific template you'd want us to add here?
I browse on my account, copy the link and then jump to another browser with integrated adblocker to watch. This small step limits the addiction.
I'm not sure why. I think most threads of any type usually feel the same as other threads of the type. As for your Windows hypothetical, not sure which Windows you're talking about, but I don't think Microsoft would really care if you did the equivalent of the projects being discussed to Windowses of approximately that age. If you do something obviously different, like freely distribute a modified Windows ISO as your own, I would expect to encounter some resistance.
Url changed from https://cohost.org/mononcqc/post/3647311-paper-you-want-my-p, which points to this.
> No updates to Blogger have been documented since September 2020. Google has also moved away from Blogger for their own company blogs. For these reasons, Blogger may be at risk of shutting down.
No it’s actually a derogatory term meaning “excessively complicated theory to support my priors.”

Such as casting clear evidence toward the “safety/commercialization of next gen tech was a point of contention among the board” thesis instead as:

> The leak about Q* feels like an olive branch to let the former OpenAI board and Ilya save a bit of face, probably part of the terms for Sam coming back plus it distracts from all the drama and puts a positive spin on things.
Conditional includes play a big role as a configuration mechanism in C. Likely the creators of C++ could not afford to get rid of that.
I actually use Tenuto for this purpose - it includes this specific exercise, but also a plethora of other exercises for guitar along with others (staff, key memorization, piano) and utilities like cord construction. Best money I’ve spent on an app.
The perfect solution is to take the FLAC version.

I know that I shouldn’t do this but I download the FLAC version and compress it to Opus 192kbps. It’s very high quality with the size of an MP3. I won’t be able to change the format and recompress it later, but I don’t really mind.
I think blogspam is a decent source of ad revenue for Google, so it seems unlikely to shut it down anytime soon, at least until they figure out how to monetize LLMs.
I've driven the Ioniq 5 and I can easily hear a high pitched motor whine at speeds between 45 and 60 mph. I cannot hear any noise below 45 or above 60, other than the intentional pedestrian warning sound.

I suspect as I age my ability to hear such high pitched whine will be gone.
I don't get it. OK there are sounds to let you know the car is falling apart constantly, but this one is ambient sound of people encouraging you to accelerate??
Very interesting. I can fairly reliably whistle a middle-c but I find it hard to take it from there (other than just the scale in the key of 'C') and picking out absolute pitches by ear is not something that I think I can do reliably. But I did get that tune right on the first try (probably just luck).

I've been doing a ton of relative pitch ear training in the last couple of months and I'm slowly getting better at it but this is very hard work once you get past say P5 and harmonic I find much, much harder than melodic.

edit: nice app from that last link: https://www.musictheory.net/exercises/ear-note
FG laid an egg when it first came out. Over time, FG seems to have gained quite a following and is now a classic.

The usual criticism is it's too over the top, too campy. But they miss the point - it was supposed to be over the top and campy.

The dialog is still funny after 40+ years:

Klytus: Bring me... the bore worms!
Princess Aura: No! Not the bore worms!

The movie is just crammed with gems like that. It should have won an Oscar for best screenplay.
> I tried to contact many Bluetooth stack developers from Google, asking them to consider including my patches to the main Android branch—AOSP, but did not receive a single answer.

Very sad. Android is open source code with an closed development model. Most communication and design work happens behind closed doors, cutting off anyone who doesn't work at Google.
To cloak from so weak civilization as we, need to just hide electromagnetic emissions, as we cannot detect distant objects which don't emit anything EM to our direction.

Even recent stealth technologies know from late 1970th, how to hide from radio waves reflections and how to hide visual reflections and how to hide infrared emissions (slot nozzle, directed where no observer).
The ArchiveTeam project page for Google+ says it was ingested into the Wayback Archive, where I do find a complete Linus archive:

https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://plus.goo...

Most of those are focused_crawls which would have been the result of efforts like ArchiveTeam.

Then the full set is here:

Confirmation tones are used to convey that the car registered a deliberate user action (e.g. a button press). For example whenever you press the unlock button on your key fob, it would quickly become annoying if the car announced "The car is now locked". In the case of confirmation, you know what the tone is signaling, because you just performed the action to create the tone (and don't need a lecture about it).

Mildly abrasive 'alert' tones are preferred for warnings over announcements because alerts typically require immediate action. You could follow the alert tone by an announcement but this is typically unnecessary because the the first time you hear it, the tone will be seared into your memory (e.g. you are messing with the radio and suddenly hear the lane departure warning or forward collision warning). And you really don't need to distinguish between them - they all basically mean "immediately allocate all cognitive resources towards driving this death machine safely".
Fuck iDIN. Who even fame up with that? Why bring banks into the mix? We've had DigiD for what, also almost 20 years now? Why replace something that works well? iDIN doesn't even fix the main problem, which is being usable in other EU countries.

Banks have enough data already, plus, why make a group of business arbiters of ones online identity?
The problem with what you describe is alert fatigue.

This IS the selling point, therefore we can catch all errors!

> Competency is a myth put in place to explain why they pay themselves more than most of us.

If it was a myth then everybody would be in a place to pay themselves as much as they're paying themselves.
They plan to delete accounts with no recent activity, including data from all Google properties. The only exception is YouTube for some reason. The wiki page is simply out of date.
I obviously don't speak for who you replied to, but I just wanted to point out that they made no claim about copyright.
You can use https://bgp.tools for that (e.g. https://bgp.tools/as/200676#prefixes)
ArchiveTeam has their own "Warrior" tool they run, but it does effectively farm out the equivalent of wget to a bunch of client machines. Their tool is very careful to preserve the content exactly as it was and in an archival format.

The problem I had with ArchiveTeam is that they are very insular, and don't accept help quickly or easily from someone who is not already inside their inner circle. I'm guessing they've been burned more than a few times.

There are publicly available versions of their tools, but those aren't the versions that actually get deployed. You have to know or be told the private locations for the tools that actually get deployed.

What's important to them is not how much resources you could help bring to bear to solving this problem that you care about right now, but are you still going to be here in a year to help them with the 99th problem that you don't care about?

I can't say that I blame them for being insular in the face of whatever their past experiences were. I just wish that they had let me join and help them, because I do think they have a good mission and they deserve to be helped. But if they won't let you help, then all you can really do is sit on the sidelines and watch. Or not, as you choose.

I chose not to stick around.
> Isn't a potentially-tampered copy better than none at all?

I guess it depends on the specific nature of the tampering, but I can think of quite a few situations where no copy is indeed better.
Once a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we treat reposts as duplicates (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) and this is also true for Show HNs (see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html). Since https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36084503 spent 14 hours on the front page only 6 months ago, I'd say this repost is too soon.
You do raise some good points. I never thought those issues were the central theme of the movie - just a setup for, for lack of a better term, a bug hunt.
I found that a shame. I think with a lighter and modern UI, blogger could come back to gain some market share from Medium.

Medium it's so bloated and clickbaity, that I would take an old regular blog in WordPress or blogspot despite being more ugly. A lot of technical documentation of some niches, is still only present in blogs of this kind.
Damn, this is why HN is fun, sometimes you end up on a virtual walking tour/history lesson of a street in Berlin...
What is your solution that can begin preserving content from today? Tearing into a working solution is easy.
i wonder if they've put any effort in having the car listen to itself and explain ordinary sounds (and alert on problematic ones).
How big is the MaxMind database ?
> The only exception is YouTube for some reason.

I wonder if they made a big list of the old content that would get deleted under their policy, and decided that some of that actually still brings in enough ad revenue to be worth keeping. And it was easier to just keep everything than make carve-outs to the deletion policy?

Depends then on your definition of "collapse." The Roman Empire was in decline for two centuries prior to the sacking of Rome by Alaric. But I wouldn't go so far as to call that systemic collapse. And the point I was making was very specifically about that apocalyptic scenario. User progne claimed that we're in some sort middle ground between cycles of collapse and stability, but I just don't see that being true historically. Business cycles, yes, but systemic collapse? No, collapse is still an exceptional, aperiodic event.
Even more off-topic, but something I’m struggling with personally: how do you find the time for projects, with kids in the picture? Me, I can just barely eke out a truncated workday, then it’s kids and housework until the kids go to sleep and maybe 1.5 hours of time until bed, which mostly I spend with my partner.

So I see people with diverse interests and kids and I just wonder: how!
The legal system can generally deal with anything that falls through the cracks.

There's probably not a whole lot of massively society-impacting fraud in the death certificate system if a whole hospital can run off of technically fraudulent records when one guy is signing them all.

You could cut down on that by relaxing the technological attempts to "improve" it all and just let the legal system and humans address any actual abuse.
What if I misplaced my smart card what if I'm wearing mask or surgical hat.
This is one way to learn they're shutting that down.
Agreed, the dialog had some good laughs. When Paxton asks Gomez "did anyone ever think you were a man?" and she replied "no, did anyone think that of you?" A comeback worthy of Winston Churchill.
Ok, we've changed to that from https://tracker.archiveteam.org/blogger/. Thanks!
Try clicking on any of the links. I only get 302 redirects and blank pages; I don't get to read any of the posts.

Basically, just as testing recovery is part of a backup strategy, testing the usefulness of the “saved” information ought to be part of any “saving” strategy.

Edit: You can try links posted to HN e.g. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... or https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... and see if you can read any of them via the archives.
While these things are usually tacky, it was more accurate than I expected. Partly that's because it's from 1982 and isn't very old.

The first page suggests you might be able to store the entire library of Congress on your home computer in 2000--a perfect prediction by my count.

The standard trope about future predictions is that we imagine things that currently exist being better (eg flying cars, video phones) but miss out on technology that isnt yet in the public conscience.
Isn't this only useful if you already know that the previous URL for Linus's profile is https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912? Linus is a public figure, so this URL shouldn't be difficult to find. What about discoverability of lesser known individuals?
Think it's more about the planned deletion of inactive accounts on 01 Dec 2023 that's going to take out a bunch of connected blogger sites.
Shutting down, no. Deleting content, yes.

Legal concern = copyright infringement. What other legal concerns are there in this scenario?
There’s actually published evidence of exactly that!

Where Do Security Policies Come From found that the websites with the most aggressive policies were those with the least incentive to make the system easy-to-use. Big sites like Facebook and Paypal somehow manage to be safe without the strict password requirements of <random university intranet here>. Likely because they have financial incentive to make their systems easy-to-use.

Here is the post about Google deleting inactive accounts soon:

As I understand it, Archiveteam doesn't do anything to mitigate the issue, which is why they used to discourage users with a "censored" internet to avoid running the warrior.

They could use some form of quorum, where the archived page is distributed to multiple users, preferably in different countries, and only accepted if the results mostly agree. (Given dynamic pages from some of the archived services, it is an interesting problem as to how you would compare if two pages are almost the same.)
Thanks everyone for your feedback and support. I've been adding GPUs as fast as I can to meet demand and some of the earlier performance issues should be much improved.
But x68000 was the king.
I have a relatively analogue car (Subaru BRZ) and there are times when you shut it off on a warm day and then randomly about ten mins later a radiator fan kicks on. I guess it's to help cool down but I don't remember exactly what the manual says.

Basically it's cool how cars do things largely on their own sometimes to stay within certain parameters.
If GPUs are so easy, then why has Intel taken like three swings at making a GPU in the last ten years and haven't come close to NVDA perf even once?
I hope legislation gets enacted that will make it illegal to blast artificial "exhaust" noises from EVs.

Not like cops will actually enforce it, but one can still dream...
After much initial resistance, I've become a fan of pair programming. When things are clicking, ideas spark back and forth. Frames collide and interfere, bits of partial insight are exchanged, and you and your partner arrive at a solution that would have been impossible for either of you to get to working individually.

There is the famous psychological notion of flow. The thing is, this can happen among multiple people. Think of a lovely choir or orchestra. Or a basketball team where every team member just seems to be reading other team members' minds. The book (and presumably the upcoming movie) "The Boys in the Boat" really emphasizes this and crystallizes this.

As the linked article mentions, the author and his father butted heads for three hours because they were not listening to each other and pairing very effectively! Really good pairing does take work and practice. But when it starts to work there can be moments when it feels like magic. It is a great way to grapple with the myriad of unforeseen "details" that are actually life-or-death critical issues to project success.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently - pcie slots. They need to be deprecated. We should be using mini-sas style breakout cables and reduce motherboard sizes.

It’s particularly a problem with huge top of the line GPU’s like the 7900 XTX and 4090. They are so long and so heavy that they sag. To work around it, we have kickstands and brackets that are added on the far end (opposite the external slot) to prop them up. Vertical mounts exist, but they’re a very wide ribbon the same width as the slot that will get in the way of lots of stuff.

Why aren’t we innovating here? Big GPU’s are so big they will often block all the slots on the board anyway. Manufacturers are shifting pcie lanes to m.2 on platforms without many lanes. The slots need to go or remain only for legacy use.

It’ll help with things like this too. The 4060 is using a full slot that it doesn’t need so those wasted lanes are now available for an m.2 card. IMHO all this should be modular like a less polished usb-c/thunderbolt interface. Minisas comes to mind but I know the server market is doing things with pushing pcie over a breakout cable.

ATX feels so antiquated as a form factor right now.
Benzos and opiates get you plenty high. And much less safely. But at least it makes some people rich.
