As far as I can tell the story was something along the line of:

1. design push notifications as technical solution but not the necessary UX/UI and any abuse mitigations making them the perfect tool for abuse (both Chrome and FF, on Windows I only have seen Chrome impl. and it was horrible)

2. oh dang it get's abused

3. add abuse mitigations

4. which do not really mitigate the abuse at all but do prevent any proper use

The the 4th point is the wtf something seems fishy point.

If they would outright removed it arguing "too much abuse" I would not have been surprised.

If they had tried to add proper abuse migrations and failed I would not have been surprised.

But they added migrations which very obviously would not fix the most common wide spread abuse but would kill most proper use. And where that isn't a unexpected result, but a very easily predictable result.

And that is what is strange because it is as if they kept it around as a pretense at the cost of a lot of non technical users "safety/experience" and iff that was intentionally I would guess it's to cause enough damage so that external institutes like consumer safety groups ask for it to be removed. Which if that would be the case would be quite disgusting.

Firefox could fix that by fixing the UI/UX abuse issue (it's all about things outside of the web standard, i.e. doable without changing the standard). But as far as I can tell they do not care, and either implemented it for feature compatibility with chrome or I think the now gone FirefoxOS.

What if a privacy subscription costs $1000/mo? Does anybody believe you can use this "one cool trick" to circumvent EU privacy laws?

FB is basically daring Europe to enforce their laws. I hope the entire concept of paying for privacy gets shut down hard.

Interesting article! Right at the start, the first example of a non-vectorized popcnt implementation is said to produce “comically bad code, frankly”, but in release mode with the native target CPU, it does appear to be vectorising the function fairly ok?

I did the same on my first flight, England to America. I was very shy with the loud American pilots, but I'm sure I wasn't the first shy English boy they'd met.

This was in the mid 1990s, and the cabin crew invited me to look. I don't think there were many children on the plane.
So 2 things here. First, whether people currently "own" land due to property taxes. Sure there's an argument there but imo it's mostly semantics. The main point is that the vast majority of land rents go to the "owner" because the property taxes are a low percentage of the lands value.

As far as why private land ownership is immoral I think it's quite obvious when you think about why we have property rights. Other than the security aspects which are retained with land value tax the main purpose is to encourage people to create things, without property rights there's less incentive to engage in the economy. Through that lens private ownership of land is absurd. Land is not created, the idea that someone can become entitled to its rents is counterintuitive to the entire point of property ownership. The profits from an asset that wasn't created by anyone should go to everyone.

We can go in less philosophical directions too, land value tax has zero deadweight loss and heavily penalizes speculation. LVT encourages efficient land use which raises our GDP and is likely to help everyone in the economy as land is a very decentralized asset.

> but Swiss health care costs are also among the highest in the world (and rising steeply),

But relative to GDP Swiss healthcare spending is lower than in Germany or France. Adjusted by PPP they aren’t even that much higher in absolute terms than in most other richer European countries. Of course there are some outliers like Denmark but if we consider income levels and outcomes healthcare in Switzerland seems relatively “cheap”.

I am a typography nerd, so naturally I love this. I also think it would be most useful with text set in full justification, where you have your text in a nice rectangle and punctuation sticking out destroys the aesthetics.

If full justification is helpful in general is another question but it certainly is out of fashion now.

If full justification is possible at all with the currently used browser rendering pipelines is yet another interesting questions. Intuitively I would have assumed so, but I remember past discussions here on HN that convinced me that this is not easy at all.

EDIT:
I liked the HN thread I was referring to below. I think good full justification needs Knuth-Plass but don't know enough to be sure.

I’ve started using a sort of hanging quotation style for block quotes in commit messages.

From commit 3927bbe9a4:

“ This matches the behavior of COMMIT_EDITMSG, which stays around
in case of error.

Two spaces, one quote character, one space, then the quote on that
indentation. This might look a bit off with a proportional font.

Linus Torvalds[1] uses a kind of hanging quote for his merged pull
requests. But it looks a bit too subtle since the quotation character hugs
the first character.

I absolutely have no attraction for processed food or sauce (well, except for olive oil, which can be considered a sauce I guess).

Sugar, well, I do enjoy some home made cakes, but little more.

My father is the same, I'm quite sure he never ate an hamburger in his life. He does love the sweets though.

Anecdotally, he is 73 and has absolutely no health issues, doesn't take any medicine at all.

Also, we do eat a lot of fish and meat here. Every single meal has either one of those as the main food.

Ask HN: Is Knuth's TAOCP worth the time and effort?
I'm starting the first volume.
Right at the start, Knuth introduces Induction Mathematical Proof, and more specifically tries to show that we can describe it as an `algorithm mathematical proof`.

I showed it to a friend who is quite good at math, and he told me the book may be trying too hard especially in the examples variety, and how it might not be needed for comprehension's sake.

Would you still recommend this book, and if yes, in what circumstances?
> any house I would want to shift to if I sold it will have also gone up in value just as much

Yup. All you get for the increase in value is a bigger tax bill.
It has always been like this in DL research. Also, providing justification doesn't necessarily help, because they are usually just guesses. The problem goes deeper than this. It's easy, and common, to make up justifications after the fact. You can try a bunch of random stuff, some thing randomly works, and then you make up an explanation for why it works that sounds plausible, but in reality is nothing more than a fictional narrative to convince reviewers (and possibly yourself). The underlying problem here are the incentives of the academic system. Reviewers reward good narratives and stories. Also, in DL especially, it's quite difficult to perform ablation studies or get statistical significance numbers due experiments taking a long time to run.

I hate to say it, because that's not how science should work, but with the flood of papers, looking at who wrote a paper is probably one of the more reliable indicators of quality. The reason is that people with a reputation are putting their reputation at stake when publishing something. Publishing BS would reflect badly on them, so they tend to go through more quality control. An unknown researcher at an unknown lab has nothing to lose by flooding arxiv with BS papers, which on the surface are indistinguishable from high quality work.
Median income in Switzerland is also higher than anywhere else by quite a margin.

"[...] modern neural network (NN) architectures have complex designs with many components [...]"

I find the Transformer architecture actually very simple compared to previous models like LSTMs or other recurrent models. You could argue that their vision counterparts like ViT are conceptually maybe even simpler than ConvNets?

Also, can someone explain why they are so keen to remove the skip connections? At least when it comes to coding, nothing is simpler than adding a skip connection and computationally the effect should be marginal?

Why do you think that "method chaining is not really idiomatic" or how this should be implemented?
Obviously you dont. Just the reduction of caloric intake and as a result, a reduction in body fat, is gonna lead to health benefits.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is an important point. The speed of light that is a constant is c. The actual (average) speed that light travels through a material is not a limit of any kind, and it is very possible for other particles to move through that medium faster than light. For example, Cherenkov radiation is high energy electrons moving faster than light through water (not faster than c).

Of course, what actually happens is that photons always move with speed c, but the path they take through a medium is not straight - they "bump" into other particles, so it takes them longer to reach the end. Higher energy particles can have straighter paths (they "push bumps away"), so that even if their instantaneous speed is always lower than the photons', they take less total time to move through the material.
Is there a standard measurement for poulation density that handles unbuildable/uninhabited areas? you could do something like "calculate the population density for every census tract in LA, excluding those with density <10 people per square mile".

The main thing you're missing is that Facebook is the big corporation the GDPR was largely written to try and reign in AND that any judgement affecting Facebook is going to have downstream effects on other providers (there's been a few news sites trying the scheme in Europe too). This is gonna be the "do or die" for the pay-or-okay scheme. Given Facebook is doing it, I wouldn't put my chances on the "do" part; they are the extreme example and EU judges don't tend to look kindly on big corporations thinking they're capable of "outsmarting" their laws.

Is right to privacy while using Facebook services a fundamental right? Well, given some of the services they own - maybe they should be. WhatsApp is massive in the EU, while Instagram seems to be the replacement for Twitter for a lot of people now that Twitter itself is flooded with fools that nobody likes to interact with. We've already had Facebook suprise drop a "EULA change" on WhatsApp users that let them use WA data in the Facebook algorithms. The specific field Facebook is even in makes it unusually hard to leave. It's somewhat socially acceptable to not have a Facebook account. Its less acceptable to not have an Instagram and I don't think you can function in west-european society without WhatsApp at the moment; basically everyone expects you to have it.

So yes, privacy when using Facebook is extremely important (GDPR literally exists to codify privacy as a right) and pay-or-okay is holding it hostage.

It's kinda both. Mongoloid here used to refer to people with Downs, by comparing them to the (non existent) Asian race of Mongoloids due to both often having eyes with epicanthic fold.

Actually error handling is much easier with agency's Processes (pipelines)

Instead of writing:

result, err := operationFoo(userInput)
if err != nil { panic(err }

result, err = operationBar(result)
if err != nil { panic(err }

You can create a Process and handle errors only once:

result, err := agency.NewProcess(operationFoo, operationBar).Execute(userInput)
// ...

Imagine having 3+ operations, like 5 or 10. That's gonna be some real difference.

All the chained methods like `SetPrompt(...)` returns `agency.Operation` and no error needs to be handled there

Its not that much. Enough to fund new shows but thats not a big amount in the large scheme of things.

Entertainment can be used to comfort, educate, generate hope, make people think etc but at the most fundamental level it causes a brief mental focus shift, from what ever it is people are dealing with in daily life. To produce such shifts show runners have learnt you don't need many of the elements in Star Trek. You can mesmerize people without them.

It actually says that 1 to 7 degrees are the most conservative predictions:

> The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown.

This at least implies (though doesn’t confirm) that the ‘worst-case scenarios’ from the less-conservative predictions were higher than 7 degrees in 30 years.
