It may, but since webpush never worked properly on android/chrome, the question arises who those people were (devs? users?) and what exactly they contrasted apple to when they accused it. Now it seems like apple implemented webpush, but no one really cared. Such nonsense.

Edit: I mean you still can’t go PWA-only because it only works on at most one of the two biggest platforms again. The only difference is that apple never hid its motives behind the fake tech.

Github has not allowed site-wide code search without a login for years.

What seems to be new new is that you can't search even a single repo.

You can just clone it and use your local tools.

If the code is hosted or mirrored elsewhere, and elsewhere uses GitWeb, you can use GitWeb's grep search.
I’m not trying to understate the stuff you can do with LLMs or formal proof tooling that could be attached to randomly try things till it reaches a solution to a novel problem, but some solutions you see to lesser problems are sometimes so pie-in-the-sky I think stumbling on one is barely better than a random walk. And I think mathematicians like Tao are far better at narrowing that down. As an aide I can see it’s use, I just don’t believe we’re going to have LLMs & tooling solve these grand problems until compute power is orders of magnitudes better, and even then I’m still sceptical. BUT I’m not a mathematician and this is based on my intuition from pub talks :)
What kinds of recourse do people have for this. Is there a theory under which one can sue (TM? C?) . Can it be reported to search engines?
No the size of the real numbers is not well defined.

To be well defined means that there is an unambiguous interpretation of a proposition. The fact that the continuum hypothesis is independent of the usual axioms of set theory means that the size of the real numbers is not well defined (within those usual axioms), it's ambiguous whether the size of the real numbers is Aleph_1, Aleph_2, etc....

Just pointing out that the size of the real numbers is equal to the number of possible combinations of an infinite sequence of 0s and 1s doesn't give the size any well defined interpretation, it's just an alternative formulation of the size. Yes there are many ways to formulate the size of the real numbers, but unless you can take one of those formulations and pin it down to a specific and unambiguous value that can be operated on, then the size of the reals remains ambiguous.

It's actually really open ended how large the size of the reals are. All that's known is that it's greater than Aleph_0, and that it's not equal to any limit cardinal such as Aleph_omega.

I keep running out of space because of the photos that my phone keeps automatically uploading to Google Photos. I've done a couple of downloads now, but now it's just sitting on my hard drive. I clearly need a better place to store my photos. Preferably somewhere where we can look at them, enjoy them and organise them.

I've been thinking about getting a NAS, but I feel like I probably need something more than that. It's all pretty new ground to me, though. I think I want to run my own "cloud" from my home that my phone can sync with, helping me organise this stuff and show it to people I want to share it with. But controlled by me and not by Google or some other cloud service.

That reminds me of a certain high up who tried to copy/paste between two computers by doing the following:

1. Rightclick > Copy on Computer A

2. Unplug mouse

3. Plug mouse into Computer B

My brother in christ, have you heard of the patent system in general?

Try starting a new phone or laptop company. Your step 1 will be to acquire a patent war chest, so if someone sues you for patent infringement (and they will), you can sue them right back for the same.

In this world, if that company is for sale, someone much bigger is going to buy it, and make their technology their own exclusive. Be it Apple or Samsung or whatever. Getting hands on this tech _so your competitors don’t_ would also be a valid reason for acqusition.

I wonder what other interesting circles we can add to this venn diagram.
The biggest difference between SF/NYC and your mid-size town is that SF/NYC has lots of reporting done about it and yours doesn't. You don't know what stupid BS your town does because nobody reports about it.

OTOH for SF/NYC they write so many stories that they have to make stuff up to fuel the outrage crowd, like this article did.
I understand the Israeli sentiment here, but afaik they do not have a legal leverage to force him. They could of course create a new law and enforce it against his companies ( in Israel ) or they can petition him to not allow connections or threaten him if he does.
This isn't the first time I've seen this either. It's definitely a pattern: new post generates a lot of discussion in a short time, but then disappears from the front pages.

There's a couple wrinkles here. For one, power efficiency varies with temperature, keeping chips cool, increases their efficiency, although you'd need a lot of data to determine if watts spent on cooling were comparable to watts saved by being cool at a given performance level.

The other is Apple chips target a lower clock rate than Intel and AMD do for laptop chips, this is a tradeoff. You get better perf/watt at lower clock rates, and a lower targer design can be smaller[1] and lower power. OTOH, you miss out on the top end of performance for those willing to power and cool the beast. It's a good tradeoff for Apple, who never provided ample cooling for their Intel based laptops, but it's hard to market for Intel and AMD when PC laptop makers do want to sell some devices that can clock to the moon all day if users want it. AMD is expirementing with their compact cores as power efficient cores in some laptop skus, so we'll see something there; Intel is going with the BIG.little approach of less capable little cores, rather than just clock limited little cores.

[1] see AMD's Zen4c which is about half the size as a regular Zen4 for the core+L1+L2, L3 cache footprint remains the same for a given size
A difference is that it's absolutely not a total conversion. Afaik there are 2 or 3 of those, but VP is purely "Civ V, but better". Everything stays roughly the same, just fixed and expanded. It's a bit as if the devs never stopped working on the game.

FWIW, I started with Civ II (still have the thick manual), but prefer V ;)
> Art isn't an easier problem than math.

Someone can tell you when a math problem is solved. Someone else can't tell you when you've successfully art'd with remotely the same degree of confidence. In so far as they can, however, many experts claim that AI cannot, indeed "do an art".

Also, it's easier to formulate a hard math question (there are plenty of unsolved problems), but that's (IMHO) harder to do for art. Sure, you may think this is the first time the phrase "Astronaut riding a Llama and holding an avocado" was writ, but those are all well represented concepts in the dataset. For more abstract prompts, there really isn't a way to verify "correctness".
While I get your point and agree, there apparently is no Dunning-Kruger effect. It was determined to be yet another case of faulty data analysis in behavioral psych.[1]

What does an LLM really do? And can it create sometimes entirely novel math that goes against its training set to solve something, and know it’s right using a proof tool that may not even accept that? I agree but on a different order of magnitude of years.
Ha. Touché. You actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks!
After the fact.
I bought a Yeti at a huge discount (CAD$89) during Black Friday and haven't regretted it for a minute.

I'd read previously that there were better alternatives, but I had this product in front of me and went for it. The website claims it's "marketed to be much more than what it is", but everyone I've spoken to about it knows it's an entry-level jack of all trades.

All my colleagues say the sound quality is excellent and there's no background noise to be heard Teams & Discord.
I have backup both to Google Photos and iCloud.

The probability of both failing and/or both deciding to just delete my account because I look "suspicious" is very small. But I _have_ had iCloud mysteriously not being able to retreive old photos.
I personally pin SEO gaming as the #1 cause of decline in the quality of the Internet. I only use Google at this point as a rapid link to websites so I don't have to type the URL. SEO posts just trash any meaningful search and Google seems content. LLMs are great for cutting through this, as long as you take time to verify your data.
Faster than writing all 1800 articles manually I suppose.

It seems to me that Wayland is a little bit better than X11 at all of the common things, at the cost of being way, way worse than X11 at the uncommon things.
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing the code.

I wish ElevenLabs didn't require a subscription to test voice cloning but I might try it out this month and see if it's cool enough to continue. It could be a really fun way to get my 7yo exposed to stuff like this.

It is a half-joke. In the sense that it is something I basically believe, but stated in a way that neglects nuance to the degree to which it might tip over into false-ness.

Baby pictures, I don’t think they communicate much. They evoke feelings that are already in the mind of the viewer.

I mean, it is basically a universal experience, to be shown pictures of other people’s kids and nod along understanding that they are justifiably excited about the objectively boring things their kids are doing, right? This is because they are excited about the ongoing journey that picture acts as a landmark for, which we aren’t a part of.

So, I suppose there must an example of an image that communicates something useful out there, somewhere, but the two of us haven’t found it yet.

My understanding was that their research on what drove engagement shifted quite a bit. Things like social proof, and product patterns like auto-loading the next episode to binge drove engagement metrics. Recently there were some articles about their team custom-identifying which cuts of a video to show as a trailer maximized engagement on a personal level. In some sense that is a recommendation, but it is a broader problem space.
The tragedy here is that folks don't learn.
I will toss out a second vote for bella+canvas being a modern equivalent to the american apparel of yesteryear.

What is very frustrating is I have 2XL shirts from 2007-2009 that fit better than a 4XL from 2022. I've tried to narrow it down to brands and blends and the 50/50 or tri-blend shirts have held their true sizes for longer but somewhere along the way every brand has seemed to have gotten smaller by full inches. In underarmor polos I now buy their tactical line to get the equivalent of their "loose" fit from yesteryear. It is so frustrating and sometimes a huge money waste buying shirts.

The longest lasting shirts in my closet are some Hurley and Billabong shirts from Hot Topic and similar from 2010 or earlier.

For any conference organizers or swag buyers reading this, please start offering up to 4XL in any cheap brand shirts, especially 100% cotton, even if it is preshrunk.
If it works, we will see it eventually used.
When it comes to consultancies/agencies this is basically put forward as a feature, not a bug. If you're doing a multi million dollar project of course you would want to bring in 'experts' with 'prior experience in the problem space'.

My experience of it is in advertising, look at something like GroupM. They intentionally make a set of agencies to act as different front doors into the group so they can make it look like there are no conflicts of interest. Then once work comes in the door it all gets serviced by the same shared resources. The 'front door' agencies of course promote as a centre of excellence with deep expertise etc. but you really don't need to read between the lines very much.
Google storage for a personal account is 15gb if I'm not mistaked, why would you need 1tb?
> The answer is, obviously, "patches welcome." But this stuff is a bit janky.

Yeah.

I'm optimistic on this front. Bugs are one of those things that "everyone agrees upon", although you're right in that the Lemmy development environment hasn't taken off or expanded as much as it probably should have. Still, bugs will be fixed because its low-hanging fruit. Everyone gets bothered, someone will get bothered enough and then a patch will be submitted.

The advancements from 0.17 to 0.18.0 to 0.18.5 have grossly improved Lemmy in substantial ways. There's enough bug-progress that I'm happy. There's plenty more bugs, but progress is largely all that I care about.

--------

The deeper concern of mine, and I alluded to this earlier with my "Naive" comment, is that Lemmy is very ideological right now. Ex: There was a week or two where people were against Lemmy Search Engines, worried that they'd track us. (Thankfully, someone made search-lemmy.com and life is better now).

But now we're running into a "Privacy / anti-tracking" problem, directly in relation to this new-user / trolling issue. The most direct solution to the trolling problem is to have a way to track new-users and their early posts to see if they're a bot, troll, or otherwise a fake malicious account. Reddit does this through its Karma system.

But Lemmy is fundamentally against Karma-tracking at the moment, meaning an _actual_ solution to this "trolls just create a new account from an unmoderated server" cannot rely upon karma (right now). I'm hoping that the politics shift enough that we can start talking about Karma-tracking (or other simple statistics that grossly diminish trolling behavior), but its going to be a while before everyone gets convinced IMO.

---------

I think the "Adults in the room" know about the problem. But there's also the need for the underlying community to believe in the problem and have an ideological shift to successfully keep the community in unison.

Or to get more specific: I know the Beehaw.org server wants to join everyone else in the federation. And we all know why they aren't doing so, and everyone respects everyone else's opinions and situation. Until this trolling problem is... addressable (not necessarily solved, but "addressed", so that we have tools to deal with it), it will be best for some instances to just remain de-federated (especially from open-registration servers who are prone to these coordinated trolling-assaults).
The Google photos user this is really fucked up. I primarily use Google photos to manage my kids pictures as well what did you move to?
Can you "retire" yet? If you had 15 years at BigCo, that should really be a yes, but with startups it depends a lot more. By "retire" I mean that you can pretty safely coast by with your annual living expenses set to (depending on your risk appetite) 4% to 10% of your investments. If you can do that, pull the trigger and quit. Commit to only a few years gone, if "indefinitely" is too scary or you don't feel confident in long term market increases. Your professional associates will still be around at various places when and if you decide to work again, making a "resume gap" all the more something not worth worrying much about. After a while, you might explore doing something on your own, or doing consulting, or just teaching yourself some new skills because you suddenly get an intuition about what it is you want to do next. But it should be driven by desire and not a sense of obligation to be generating an income.

If after a year you still have no clue or worse still can't really bring yourself to work like you used to, it might be something else that's not quite burnout that's causing you to struggle.

Well, if that's what they believe they are comically misinformed. As it was the main reason that constitution would have been a good thing is that it would - hopefully - create a more level playing field. But the UK already had an exceptional position within the EU, and now it has none, with all of the downsides of being outside of their nearest neighbors and largest trade bloc.

It's going to be a long road back to inclusivity and if and when that happens you can bet that it won't be the nice exceptional situation that was there before.
I assume that "self-hosted" meant precisely that they own the box. A hard drive is under $10/terabyte.
> if your dependencies are manually checked in, are you going to be on top of keeping them up to date for all the sev-1 CVE's that are found? Patches that are backported? Bugs that are fixed? And keep them all in sync?

Compared. To. What? (Alternatively: "uh... yes?")

This is something like the third time that I've had to confront a comment alluding to the idea that having dependencies checked in to your repo means that updating them becomes, through some unspecified means, extremely difficult. And not just difficult, but intractably difficult. How exactly? Who knows—I've asked, but all I get are the same sort of continual allusions, as if it's some forgone conclusion on which there is common agreement, or it's a self-evident truth or something, but the actual thought process behind the remarks remain as impenetrable as the first time it was said. Please show your work. Please.

What precisely is the mechanism by which this this is supposed to happen and that forms the basis for your position? What two things precisely are you comparing to one another? Be specific. Don't be vague.

This conversation shouldn't be this exasperatingly difficult to have.

(Also, my hats off to you that you're seeing "no surprises." So you never discovered your backup machine has a flaky wifi card or bad Ethernet jack? Never had bit-rot or errors on your backing store, or are you just not detecting them until it's too late? You're testing your local backups regularly to make sure there isn't a script error that means none of those bits can actually be restored? And are you backing up offsite so when your residence burns down you still have your backups?

Lots of us are "backing up" using ad-hoc bespoke solutions that we will discover were broken only when we need them.)

Show HN: Have I Been Squatted? — Check if your domain has been typosquatted
Hi HN, I invite all of you to try out Have I Been Squatted. Around a year ago we shared an alpha project called Have I Been Squatted, a small free tool for users to generate and understand their domain’s security posture with regards to typosquatting. The original version hug-to-death’ed[1][2] so we decided to rethink the UI and internals to (hopefully) mitigate this.

Happy to get any valuable feedback, stories or questions. You're also all welcome to our Discord[3] if you want to talk about your use-cases or what you found using our tool!

If you're curious about building your own version, you can try out our open-source permutation library, `twistrs`[4].

Those studies that link red meat to cancer are all epidemiological and causal relationships can't be drawn from them. For example, one possible confounder could be that population of people that eat red meat also eat higher amounts of fast food or they might have higher bmi than those that don't.

Also, always note how the studies never say "red meat causes cancer", they say "red meat is linked to cancer". Linked being the key word.
That paper was thoroughly rebutted when posted to HN.

But Gwern has written about some earlier debunkings of the D-K effect, ad furthermore D-K was never about the popular misconception of D-K ("incompetent people think they are more competent than competent people").
Also important to point out given the headline:

"Focus on the nutrients, not the food

The study suggests that TVA could be used as a dietary supplement to help various T cell-based cancer treatments, although Chen points out that it is important to determine the optimized amount of the nutrient itself, not the food source. There is a growing body of evidence about the detrimental health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy, so this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers and pizza; rather, it indicates that nutrient supplements such as TVA could be used to promote T cell activity. Chen thinks there may be other nutrients that can do the same."
This smells _exactly_ like a move to drum up acquisition talks.

I remember seeing that yahoo default option, then having to switch it back to Google (so this was long enough ago I didn't use DDG/Kagi), but I never noticed them remove yahoo outright as a search engine option. But indeed, it is gone.

The official addon (at least its username checks out, but might be a squatted username) appears to be [1].

I can't even comment on why Yahoo! was removed except to speculate that perhaps Mozilla no longer had a contract to give them trademark permission to include Yahoo in their default search engine list?
