It's not an uncommon problem unfortunately. On Windows the OS lets programs inject DLLs into each other's address spaces, and this is actually a very common programming technique for various reasons. Apps don't expect it to happen of course, and so this is a fertile field of bugs.

Chrome does in fact attempt to block some apps from doing this because they're known to cause crashes. You can see the blacklist here:

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chr...

They don't like apps doing it but you can apply for an exception:

https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/Home/third-party...

So my guess is that Grammarly is injecting code into other processes, probably to try and gain access to their text controls so it can Grammarlyze stuff, and somewhere along the line corrupts the heap or stack in some way. The GIF aspect might be a red herring, as the crash was IIUC never reliably reproducible. Random crashes that happen sometimes but not others is strongly indicative of something being randomly corrupted.

Or it could be something else. Chrome moved to blocking third party injects by default some time ago, so maybe that's also a red herring.

Ok, your original post was ambiguous then because you didn't talk about content at all, you talked about "in what sense do you own [A VHS]", so people explained how owning a VHS is different from licensing digital media.

Mostly that your license to the content of a VHS cannot be revoked arbitrarily after you purchase the VHS itself.

I think most people would find it chilling to discover how many things are "valued" principally by the owners or potentially compromised appraisers - and how often these values are accepted by banks and the government for material decisions (e.g., how much margin to extend).

This seems to increase a made-up number to artificially make it seem more expensive to keep doing what we're doing, rather than any actual physical change.

> Plug the new number into the agency’s proposal to tighten tailpipe emissions by ramping up sales of electric vehicles or into its proposal to eliminate pollution from power plants, and the economic benefits of each rule could increase to more than $1 trillion, much greater than the estimated cost to the affected industries.

Let's be honest though. The industries won't be paying this. Consumers will. Is it worth more to the consumers?

The attack ads write themselves.

As someone who would prefer not to live on a hot earth, this seems like a great way to shoot ourselves in the foot and continue to not explore actually-effective solutions, like geoengineering, nuclear fusion, etc.

> Science is a set of methods. If you abandon those methods and fake data to fit your needs you aren't doing science you are committing various kinds of fraud.

You still have the title "scientist", and still get your paycheque. Like baking, there is the recipe one is supposed to follow, but there is also the how the baking is actually done. If a baker failed to follow the recipe in an instance of baking, would you also believe that they are not a baker, or are not baking?

I think it's interesting how people intuitively frame (construct a virtual model of reality, and perceive/present it as reality itself) the practice of science such that it "is"[1] literally impossible for scientists to do wrong, and with such a simplistic method: if it isn't perfect, it isn't science (which opens up a serious ontological problem: because it cannot be known to what degree each potential scientist executes the method with perfection, it is not possible to know how many scientists exist, or if a given candidate actually is a scientist...an individual could be one for decades, and then one off day and Shazam: you "are" no longer a scientist, despite having the title, the income, and the respect and admiration, despite not actually being the thing itself).

>Maybe ChatGPT can explain that to you instead of listening to Alex Jones.

What's the current scientific consensus on mind reading? Maybe it's not me who has to brush up on my scientific scriptures.

And since we're on the topic of who to take advice from: perhaps you should reevaluate the trustworthiness of that Oracle inside your mind, because it's "fact" here is way off: I do not listen to Alex Jones. Do you now wonder how many other facts your Oracle got wrong? My Oracle suspects not, but cannot be sure.

I think the genie is out of the bottle, and far better that everyone who cares to can record what they see. Only the true gems of hilarious stupidity will make it to life changing levels of fame, and perhaps those featured in such clips can learn by and maybe profit from the experience.

the everyday stupid things we all do have already lost embarrassment value by virtue of being so widely published. Who cares if you catch someone picking their nose in an over the shoulder video now? You can take you shaky phone video of a carjacking to the police, but they may not even want to keep a copy: its unlikely to be of actual use to them.
93 vs 91.7 looks like a difference caused by statiscical error, let's say 93.0±1.0 vs 91.7±1.0. Are the error intevals published somewhere?
Sphinx [1] gets my vote. It's the docs system that powers most sites in the Python ecosystem so it probably looks familiar to you.

I call it a docs system rather than static site generator because the web is just one of many output targets it supports.

To tap into its full power you need to author in a markup that predates Markdown called reStructuredText (reST). It's very similar to Markdown (MD) so it's never bothered me, but I know some people get very annoyed at the "uncanny valley" between reST and MD. reST has some very powerful yet simple features; it perplexes me that these aren't adopted in other docs systems. For example, to cross-link you just do :ref:`target` where `target` is an ID for a section. At "compile-time" the ref is replaced with the section title text. If you remove that ID then the build fails. Always accurate internal links, in other words.

The extension system really works and there is quite a large ecosystem of extensions on PyPI for common tasks, such as generating a sitemap.

The documentation for Sphinx is ironically not great; not terrible but not great either. I eventually accomplish whatever I need to do but the sub-optimal docs make the research take a bit longer than it probably has to.

I have been a technical writer for 11 years and have used many SSGs over the years. There's no perfect SSG but Sphinx strikes the best balance between the common tradeoffs.

I don't see how realtime voice translation can ever be possible; to properly translate the first half of my sentence, you need to hear the whole sentence first. I don't know how simultaneous translators can translate from verb-at-the-end languages like German, until they know the verb.

It's not just where the verb is; sometimes I say something ambiguous, and my next utterance is supposed to acknowledge and remedy that. But if that ambiguity doesn't exist in the target language, I don't see how a simultaneous translator can convey the ambiguity, without knowing how the next utterance is going to refer to it.

Maybe that's why human simultaneous translators often seem to stumble or backtrack. I've never met someone whose job was simultaneous translation. It must be very difficult.

I'm impressed by this effort to convey non-linguistic elements of speech in translation. It's quite an achievement, and a very ambitious goal.

Aside: I wish I knew how speakers of tonal Chinese dialects express feeling, when tonality is supposed to convey semantics. When I hear chinese speakers, I can "hear" the feeling, but I don't know how they do it - it can't just be down to emphasis. (I learned some mandarin 50 years ago, at school. I learned the tones, but they didn't teach expression; and I was never taught by a native speaker, although there were language-lab tapes.)

This is how I explain it. When I first started scuba diving and explained to the instructor that it wasn't an issue to pop my ears, he was kind of horrified and was like no don't yawn underwater to do that. He didn't seem to understand, no matter how many times I explained it, that I can do it without actually yawning. You just like... mimic the start of a yawn. And then can continue it into a full actual yawn if you want to.

While may be possible in your case (which must take a lot of work to do), there are many services people cannot practically avoid that are sim swappable.

If your sauce is algorithmic (both current and future edge) then you cannot be OSS and profitable. Google will open source all sorts of things, but never their recommender algos.

Your best bet is probably a SaaS training platform (I suspect inference is a harder business, as you need to serve high uptime APIs; I guess you have more forgiving SLAs for training batches). Sell to medium-large companies (big enough to need training, not big enough to have an established in-house platform), and if you need to bootstrap at all you can probably do profitable consulting-type work without giving up your core IP, since you can hand off the trained model weights without handing out all of your trade secrets.

Folks around here are going to gripe about this; HN has a contingent of FOSS enthusiasts but these people are not going to give you a dollar, they are not your customers. FOSS is great but you are under no obligation to give away your life work.

Honestly where you have landed (opening up some of your work) is more generous with your time than most people would be; people should be thanking you instead of complaining that it’s not more open. I think giving out enough OSS for people to realize you are the real deal while keeping the biggest wins closed is a good marketing strategy.

On desktop, the color picker in Safari has two stages: on first click it presents a 10x10 grid of colors with 10 extra basic colors on top, with a “Show Colors” button on the bottom that opens the macOS system color picker.

This is actually a bit better than the picker implementations in other browsers because it gives the user a chance to use any colors they’ve saved in the system picker, as well as any color picker plugins the user may have installed.
I don't follow. My hot water is heated up about 60cm before the tap, as it runs through. Is that a regional thing? Are you saying that you're keeping a large quantity of water at temperature at all times just in case someone might need it later? Wouldn't that be super inefficient energy-wise?
So what can the webRequest API do that couldn't just be accomplished via Javascript injection?

Capitalism has always been a creature of the state. Kings gave licenses to private individuals to invest, operate, and run public companies. Nowadays it’s more complex but the first step to create any public company is still to apply for a license. Power and money have always flown both ways. I suggest you look into the Muscovy Company. Created in 1555 as the first joint stock company, it was highly influential politically and relied on its political connections to earn profits. Nothing has changed in this regard for corporations since.
I’m glad that domain-limited integer types are called out: I wish more languages had that.

At the same time: there’s a reasonable practical argument that both have essentially safe semantics, and that “safer” one is really just the more successful (easier to integrate into existing codebases, more online resources, &c.) one. Rust is (thus far) winning at that.
