> Not all Firefox add-ons available from addons.mozilla.org will work with the mobile browser. But any extension marked as Android compatible should work, and if you want to browse a subset of compatible extensions, there’s a new page for that.

If a developer marks their addon as compatible with the mobile version, you can install it. Mozilla isn't adding any of these addons themselves, it's all up to the devs now.
You may massively benefit from having a greater foundational knowledge of transactional analysis, both as a tool to understand how to efficiently manipulate the thought processes of others and as a tool for incisive self-inquisition.

I recommend the 1964 book Games People Play, which should be available at any decent library (possibly from an inter-library transfer). If it isn't at a library near you, it has additionally been uploaded to libgen.
If so much of that foreign aid wasn't being confiscated by warlords, there would be more aid. But to westerners, warlords are evil and cause problems, and don't want to be seen supporting them.

Definitely agree on the suspicious silence on the Tigray war. Not even the Uighurs get as much airtime as Israel vs Gaza does.
The problem is that you don't. "Business" has been systematized in many ways, and more and more your "business" is just someone else's software.
ASK HN: Any bootcamps for international student with experience
I have been in tech industry for more than 7 years now. I have done couple of startup projects, working with team, that many of them failed (Worked ones even got international awards with grants more than $100k). I also have been doing algorithmic trading and have some experience in it. I just came to US (San Francisco) 4 months ago by dropping out my university abroad (at 3rd year). Currently I am studying at language school just to keep my F1 status here in US. Learning something new everyday (learning ML these days). But it feels like language school is just taking my time even though I am learning everyday and working on my projects. My skills would seem general but if I try something I will force myself to finish it. Now I would like to meet other experienced people in this area. I just applied UC Berkley, now searching for bootcamps. What would you recommend for an international student in this case?
Sounds like they failed to realize the origin of the concept as it relates to charlatanism:

> The meaning of the name came [ … ] from the movie The Matrix. We loved it immediately because it captured some big ideas we believed in—and still believe in. These are the power of the mind to do what seems impossible, like bending spoons with your thoughts, and the value of persevering to achieve those goals.
what similar thing happened in real life?
> Lerdahl's criticism of serialism is also convincing, i.e. the abstract structure of music does not translate to the heard structure of music.

There are ways to address this however. One can add small-scale atonal elements to an otherwise tonal work, in a way that can be understood by the ear. I think this may account for why Webern is perhaps the most popular among the atonal and serial composers: his works are small-scale enough that one can at least think about what grokking them musically may be like. Same for the 'freely atonal' works of early Schoenberg. So it was nowhere near the total failure some people might think it was, just not the be-all and end-all.
x.org is a pale succesor of X or Xfree86. It seems that the goal of freedesktop.org is to discreditate X in order to push for wayland and systemd.
Still no support for side-loading?
Without actual miles driven it's impossible to make a meaningful comparison. My wife spends less on her minivan than my EV - but she's not driving to work every day (and she prefers to drive the EV when she can).
I wouldn't be surprised if they "drop the Open" within a few years, to be known as "AI."
According to the site it's now $250.
I am aware of the conflict in the Ethiopia region. I have Ethiopian/Eritrean neighbors and friends. I remember the last time there was peace being happy for them. But I don't think there's any chance that the US government could successfully intervene in the conflicts there in such a way as to make a lasting peace more likely. It just doesn't have the capacity for that. We don't know the players and any thumb we put on the scale will just imbalance the whole thing.

In the Gaza War, the US has direct personal and financial ties to one of the main actors in the conflict. Now, if someone said, "The US should do more to influence Hamas," I would say that's not really possible because we have no connections or leverage over their behavior. They are connected to Iran and Qatar and their own people, but they don't really care what we think of them. But we have fairly decent leverage on the Netanyahu government. So when I advocate for the US to do things with relation to the Gaza War it is all about changing the behavior of the Israeli government, and not something else we don't really affect.
> This video isn't available anymore
It is a HN trope to say why does company X need so many employees. Usually said about world class companies. Usually because you can build something that looks like it in a weekend with React and MongoDB (although OpenAI you can’t prototype like that).
> There are two reasons founders resist going out and recruiting users individually. One is a combination of shyness and laziness. They'd rather sit at home writing code than go out and talk to a bunch of strangers and probably be rejected by most of them. But for a startup to succeed, at least one founder (usually the CEO) will have to spend a lot of time on sales and marketing. [2]

Maybe your news. I totally missed this, and I subscribe to a bunch of newspapers. The economist, as annoying as they are do have great African coverage so maybe I should have kept them around.

Are you a native English speaker or some other language, perchance?
One thing I've noticed is that sticky divs of most kinds (e.g. the bar at the bottom of Twitter.com, sidebars on news sites, etc.) horrendously crush the performance.

But if you kill them, by zapping with ublock or using another extension or bookmarklet, the performance is instantly a lot closer to something like the Chrome or Brave apps

It has been like this since Fenix launched, so at this point it makes me need to assume that it's some sort of fundamental limitation of their architecture. It is rather unfortunate.
People are unreasonably tribal about file systems.
Wow. This is a treasure of books and topics. Thanks a lot for this. Will definitely explore all of them.
I get that people don't care or understand this, but that's also saying he cc's OpenAI, and therefore probably Microsoft, and therefore almost definitely the NSA, on all his business communications. What a world.
Wouldn't the first truck's range be significantly reduced by the additional weight? The second truck will have to tow a third fully charged truck to get us to 500 miles.
Faster quarter mile drag speed than a Porsche 911 _while also towing a 911_

That's incredible marketing.

Call me crazy but I suspect you and your brother drive a different amount. $100/mo in a Tesla I ballpark at driving 1900 miles per month, so you're probably driving less than him, unless you get more than 150mpg in your hybrid.
I've been using Firefox for Android with ublock and sponsor block for a few months. Works great!
I moved to Zettlr and a git repo a long time ago. It has everything I need to organize and sync my notes without needing to pay any subscription fees
There was no need for that "redesign". None. There is a distinct possibility that older Firefox could be in use today without issue. People must learn when to just leave certaon features alone.

These look really cool, but I've never heard of the company. Are they legit?
I actually was a donor until 2020.

Not because of add-ons obviously but because of the Mozilla foundation mass layoffs with the MDN, Servo, Rust team, etc. The contrast of C-levels (of an open-source _foundation_) like Mitchell raking in +3M a year and the layoffs felt too hypocritical. The suits have taken over and they lost their mission.

I will not be donating to them until there is a clear way to make donations specifically for Developer payroll only.
Avocados are perfectly ripe for about 247 zeptoseconds. After that, they are a black spotted mess.

And just a reminder, it wasn't me who first mentioned gun shows in this thread. That was something from a thro-away account.
I’ve tried multiple times to pay the full balance with credit, the most I’ve seen dealerships be okay with is 3k or 4k of the balance.
> For instance, an autonomous driving system that doesn't know the first thing about the zombie apocalypse could put its passengers' lives at risk by refusing to run over "pedestrians".

I think that argument works better the other way. I'm outspoken in arguing many of the edge cases in driving are general intelligence problems we're not about to solve by optimising software over a few billion more miles in a simulator, but I don't want that intelligence so generalised that my car starts running down elderly pedestrians because there's been a lot of zombie literature on the Internet lately. I'm pretty confident there's more risk of people dying from that than a zombie apocalypse.
Right? I sometimes think these questions are made up, and then I inevitably have to encounter another human who validates that behavior like this is real, and not just in works of fiction.

The sheer lack of self-awareness is shocking on its own.
Fixed that. Thanks. Love those dark patterns. I'd gone with Purchase Price + Federal Tax. Of course Tesla has also thrown in $3,600+ on "probable gas savings".

Probable gas savings is odd, because they also base some of their comparisons on an arbitrary 20mpg for ICE. "We've assumed a fuel economy of 20.0 miles per gallon for a comparable gasoline powered truck"

Odd, because let's see: the Honda Ridgeline starts at 21mpg, and getting better from there, Tacoma, Tundra, Ranger, Gladiator, Ram 1500 (now we're at 25mpg), F-150, Silverado, Sierra 1500. So you're comparing against 7 or 8 of the best selling pickups, and yet using an MPG that is lower than ... all of them ... for comparative purposes. Not misleading at all.
The cheapest F150 Lightning (available today not in 2025) is $50k (vs $60k for Cybertruck), same 250 mile range but AWD standard, and is a regular pickup truck compatible with standard accessories and parts for doing actual pickup truck work.

Of course, most of the buyers of either the Cybertruck or the F150 Lightning probably aren't getting much dirt under their fingernails. Everyone I know doing construction/trade work tends to drive much smaller pickups.

We need a lot more Chevy Bolts and electric buses, and a smaller electric pickup truck with 2 doors, but instead this is what we will get due to the cultural moment we are at, and because of who has the money to spend on new vehicles today.
That’s definitely outdated. Literacy rate of my “third world” country is %16 higher than US atm.
I honestly think Musk kicked the designers out of the room and said "how hard can this be?", Then took up a pencil and ruler and drew exactly what you see, and told everybody "This is what we're building because it fucking rocks". It doesn't. It's a 12 year old boy's shitty drawing of dream car, and I guarantee you that his drawing included lots of stupid specs and measurements in a box to the side of it. And his name and age, bottom right.
> Last I checked US students rank well and are near the top in most education global rankings, so I think bad education is more of a global problem than Americans think it is.

US is at the bottom of the OECD PISA rankings (as it is with life expectency too), though on a global basis you're right (better than Morocco or Indonesia on both criteria).

Shockingly Australia has fallen quite a bit from the initial PISA study where it was ranked #4, now almost as bad as USA.

Anybody have ties to the continent in some form or another? It could be work or something like that.

Ultimately, we care about is salient and relevant to us. Abstraction don't usually have strong feeling attached to it.

I am connected to Asia simply because my family was from there and that America fought in Vietnam, changing the lives of millions.

So people in America have lot and lot of opinions about the war fought there.

What did America do in Africa? Somalia. That warranted a whole movie. What else? I heard there was some fighting in West Africa against terrorism. America sell some tanks to the Egyptians.

I'm just waiting for the tool or toolchain where I can take a manga that I like that doesn't have an anime, and get a season or two out to watch when I feel like it rather than wait for it to get an official release.

Bonus points if I can let the tool ingest season 1 or an OVA of said material where a season 2 is never going to come (looking at you "No Game, No Life")
That has not been my experience. I was trying Firefox and their various preview products on my Android once in a while for years. Every time I would bounce because of painful performance and bad scrolling.

The latest incarnation... well it can choke on YouTube videos once in a while and you have to force kill it. And it does eat more battery than Chromium browsers.

But the current state is the first time I've found Firefox mobile version usable as a daily driver.

Maybe it's just phones have caught up - I'm on a Pixel 7.

But the point stands: vanilla FF mobile is now good-enough-for-me, and extensions make it wonderful.
The blink debug logs would probably be pretty useful for the engineers involved...

And yet bitcoin works just fine in countries where the central government collapses and their currency is worthless. In fact, that's one of it's more common uses. This is very unlike a fiat currency.

The USA could be gone and bitcoin would still work. China did ban it and mining and it still works. The idea that it is "as entangled in the military as any other currency" is obviously untrue.
Right, but remember you can also subtract the combined length of all these cybertrucks from the 500 mile target. So there's a sweet spot in there somewhere around the 400 car mark.

I really like the idea of this, as I've found it hard finding places that sell older technology. However, it's unclear to me how new entries are added. Do I have to be a business to add an entry, or can I go in and add stores in my area that I know are missing?
All attempts to optimize society by changing time zones and adjusting for daylight savings time time should be abandoned. Let society set the schedule after a static time. With this I mean ordinary time zones and the same time throughout the year. Which approximately should correspond with the sun at its highest at noon.

If someone prefers brighter mornings and darker afternoons, and someone else the opposite, the solution is easy. Adapt your life to follow that. Don't expect the time to suit you, it is keeping track over the sun's trajectory over the sky, not your life.
I can't fathom why they didn't just require the models to make available the training data itself. Sure you might need to fork some cash so they can ship you hard drives but surely being audited by someone anyone is better than none.
It has, because embracing agile as it was laid out in 12 principles put too much power in these "technical" people by giving them a stake at the table, to anyone who doesn't work in an ENG first / ENG focused company.

If you look at how "Agile" is implemented in most organizations - even in technology companies! - there's alot of barrier process put up to sideline / minimize engineering input by focusing on stakeholders where stakeholder is defined by everyone telling engineering what to do as opposed to engineering being seen as a valid and reasonable stakeholder too.

I think its because in part there is a linear pipeline that the non technical business side sees as how things go: you plan X, it gets designed by Y, and then "manufactured" by engineers, if you will.

Engineers - good ones, in my estimation - want more stake in each step, both in planning and design, because often its engineers that work on the system the closest (you'd be shocked how many designers don't use their own products on a daily basis, same goes for alot of business oriented folks) and this is not "the way the world works".

Thats my thesis anyway
The difference with visual arts is, because of the way the market works avant-garde artists can still be financially hugely successful, and their works are correspondingly feted and displayed in the gallery temples. So people are more prone to be intimidated away from criticising what they don't understand, as you can't really argue with money in this society, and it projects influence and power anyway. If contemporary classical composers were mysteriously making millions from their work, they'd probably be treated similarly.
Also, contemporary classical is really just a small slice of avant garde music nowadays, another thing articles like this never seem to get.
Totally missed that subtle dark gray on black design element! You have to begin scrolling immediately to see the three trim levels, and by then, the tabs are lost forever. Quite literally fits the phrase "dark pattern", ha!

Sure; but on reflection I don’t really care about chatgpt being able to make calls and play / pause apple music. I just want a way to invoke chatgpt with my voice from a locked phone and go straight into a chatgpt conversation. ChatGPT’s strength is open ended questions, storytelling and synthesis of information. Not its ability to set an oven timer.

Now, that would definitely still take some work from Apple. Right now as I understand it the device listens for “Siri…” all the time using some on-device ML. They’d need a way for that to work with chatgpt and hand over to the audio stream. And have a chatgpt conversation from a lock screen without breaking sandboxing.

But all of that would definitely make my phone a much more useful device. I won’t hold my breath though.
It's mostly only Western European / American popular music that (for some reason thaf I don't quite understand) is obsessed with 4/4. In many other cultures (e.g. Eastern European folk music, but many others as well), irregular meters are quite common.

Predictably, someone comes along to argue that anyone who is not fully in the left must therefore be right-wing. Don't you see that the word 'centrist' indicates people who are in the center, and therefore by definition not right-wing?

If you're writing a novel, yes. In this case, "lived experience" is a jargon that has a specific meaning that is more precise.

> Always on a shitty £300-tops Android phone

What is 'shitty' about a '£300-tops Android phone'? I never paid more than ~€200 for a new phone, my current 'daily' phone is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 pro from 2018 (running a de-fanged Google-free Android distribution) which still runs 2-3 days on a single charge and runs all apps I care to use. I don't consider this a 'shitty' phone in any way.

That seems like an unusually rude thing to say about Buddha. You might be experiencing dukkha.
Depending on what you're doing, 2x used 3090s are the same price and offer you more VRAM. That's what I'm planning on doing, in any case - being able to run 70B LLMs entirely on the GPU is more useful than being able to run 34B faster.
I go the exact opposite way on number 3. It seems more likely to me this follows the growth trend of the internet, mobile phones and computer graphics than blockchain and VR. 10 more year of growth like the last would be pretty wild to experience.

If The United States and Europe intervene in Africa, they are colonizers who are looking to grow their empire.

If The United States and Europe send aid to Africa, they are dumping cheap excess food and destroying local farmers.

If white men from the US and Europe dig wells in Africa, they get backlash because they are white men.

And now, I suppose if you don't focus on Africa you are also a problem.
When I read comments like this, it really blows me away. I don't have anything near the experience you are describing. I've used Firefox on Android for a while now with UBlock origin doing it's job as it should. It doesn't kill my battery or run sluggishly. I use it for YouTube and browser-based YouTube is missing some live stream features, but that is by Google's design.
We're talking encodings not platonic ideals.

Forget PI. Let's take 1337. Or is it MCCCXXXVII?

Is it 2 or 1.(9)? Or 10 (binary)? Different encodings, same number. Some encodings are just less optimal than others.

Same with text. Is the poem in utf-8 and utf-16 a different poem? What if you zip the file? These are just encodings, and there's no point ignoring the good ones (which for non-random strings are usually programs).
