I really hated IE with a passion.
I like the clean design of this blog. Is is very well readable on my smartphone.
I just scanned through the video, but it seems to focus on persisting client-side changes locally when offline, which only covers one part of the bigger problem.

Difficulties quickly come in if you want to:
1. Persist large amounts of data on the client.
2. Keep the data in sync incrementally (too much data to re-download every time).
3. Keep the data up-to-date in realtime (streaming changes).
4. Keep the data consistent, especially across multiple tables / types.

Many "offline" solutions are actually closer to caching rather than offline-first, which introduce all the issues associated with cache invalidation.

Also, if you're just working with a single table, you might get by with just using updated_at timestamps and soft deletes to be able to get incremental changes from the server. Even then you need to be careful with consistency issues, e.g. making sure timestamps are always in order and without duplicates. And if you start adding more tables, the complexity quickly increases.
I know that a lot of people here on HN are enamored with CM but I feel differently.

In October 2021, Munger's insistence that the university follow his design compelled architect Dennis McFadden, who had served the university for two decades, to resign from the university's Design Review Committee. McFadden stated that the windowless, 1.68-million-square-foot dormitory would be "unsupportable from my perspective as an architect, a parent, and a human being ... An ample body of documented evidence shows that interior environments with access to natural light, air, and views to nature improve both the physical and mental wellbeing of occupants ... The Munger Hall design ignores this evidence and seems to take the position that it doesn't matter ... [T]he building is a social and psychological experiment with an unknown impact on the lives and personal development of the undergraduates the university serves."[48] In August 2023, after widespread backlash to what critics called the "windowless dorm," UC Santa Barbara abandoned the project and began to solicit alternative housing proposals. Munger also withdrew his pledge of support.

Yes that would be ideal. While we're at it, we should ban (or extremely limit) it here in the US too.

Edit: also while searching for this I found several similar examples, but this is the one I was familiar with already
HDD and memory sizes were growing very fast back then. So it would've been feasible even on fairly low-end hardware, starting from the mid-1990s or so. If you could have "multimedia" or "DTP" software on such PC's, modern fonts ought to have been possible. The flip side is that old computers became obsolete very quickly back then, a few years were enough for very real generational changes.

More or less a portal. But neat.
Yeah, and there are absolutely no people with an agenda to make cars a necessity. I mean, who would that be? It would need to be a huge industry that makes its profit from selling cars to people. I can’t think of any such industry. /s

Sure, hyper-dense cities are not ideal, but neither are spread-out asphalt wastelands where cars are the only means of getting around. This is terrible for anyone who can’t drive (children, people with impaired vision, people who can’t afford cars). I have also lived in Houston (without a car) and I found getting around absolutely miserable. Even when I had friends pick me up with their cars, the distances were huge and a lot of the time, this would be because of parking lots creating gigantic empty space everywhere. (At least, this was my impression.)

All of those trends are based on WEB SERVERS, as is every other online metric you will find.

I can not provide you an Install count stat, i am sure someone deep inside Microsoft knows that number, but windows servers are used in non-public facing workloads. Not on the Internet.

that deviation happened years ago.

However since we are talking about vmWare which is also using mostly in non-internet facing workloads then it is relevant.

I have some 20 years of experience as a system administrator on internal IT Teams, I don't support cloud apps, I do not develop cloud apps, i dont do DevOps, the only "cloud" companies like mine use is Office 365. I work exclusive on supporting internal workloads for companies in the Manufacturing / Industrial market segments

For industries like mine windows is the dominate server platform, most of our software vendors require it, often also requiring SQL Server. Hell I have multimillion dollar pieces of equipment that come in with Windows 10 has system they are using to control them.

Who, exactly, do you think owns and controls the media?
Sure. I have no illusions about TikTok.

But constitutionally they can't be targeted just because "everyone knows who they are." It's an American corporation on paper, employs thousands of people in the US, and must be treated equally.

AFAIK, the legal structure includes several parent companies in the Caymans (TikTok Inc. in America is owned by TikTok Ltd in the Caymans, which is owned by ByteDance also registered in the Caymans but controlled by Chinese interests - maybe via some Singapore routing too, I forget). Legislators probably need to do their homework to find the smoking gun in that structure.

This suggests your corpora are small. If you have small corpora, then it should be absolutely no surprise that one tool taking 40ms and another taking 20ms will matter for standard interactive usage.
Saying that capital doesn't have as much power in the new economy is bullshit.

From reading your comment I think this might actually be a simple language misunderstanding.

You say:

> taking a poll of the public or employees

And then:

> which is the only reasonable action I can think of that looks like “arguing their case”

But that is a total non sequitur. "Taking a poll" has no relation whatsoever to "arguing their case". So I think you might not know what "arguing their case" means.

So I'll just plainly say what I think they should have done, without any jargon. I think they should have, after firing him, released a statement targeted at employees but also with a public audience in mind, something like this:

"We have simply lost faith in Mr. Altman to faithfully execute his duties as the executive of OpenAI's non-profit charter. We believe he has been acting in the interests of his own, which are not aligned with our mission. We have tried to redirect his efforts over a period of time, without success, and now are taking the only recourse that we believe is available to us to fulfill our duty to the organization. We understand that many of you will find this jarring and unsettling, but we hope you will continue to believe in the mission of OpenAI and stick with us through this trying and uncertain time, so that we can come out of it stronger and better aligned than ever."

Then anyone who quit would at least need to rationalize - to themselves, and to their social circles - why they chose not to take that to hear. Maybe for many / most / all of them, just "money" or a personal loyalty to Altman would have still won the day, but it certainly wouldn't have been as easy as it was to abandon a board that was seen as confusing and shambolic and refusing to explain itself.

That statement above is the part that would be "arguing their case". Just making the statement; the statement is the argument for that they did. Note that it doesn't include any sort of polling of anyone, or any different use of their legal rights or responsibilities. It's "just" PR, but that actually matters a lot.

> It's part of a very sensible legal framework to incentivize the creation and publication of hard-to-find numbers that you value very much.

I disagree about "sensible".

It's the 21st century, the age of ubiquitous globally networked computers. The copying, moving and transmission of numbers is literally a fundamental operation of these machines.

The tyranny required to maintain this "sensible" numeric ownership system grows every year. The world changing potential of computers is squandered because of this "sensible" system. Look at how much technology has been held back by the copyright industry. Are LLMs going to be yet another victim? I'm sick of it. Society needs to find another way to incentivize creation.

> That's depressing.

Absolutely. This state of affairs depresses me very much. To maintain this "sensible" system, the computer freedom we enjoy today must be destroyed. It's the antithesis of everything the word "hacker" means.
hit detection for hovering and clicking is pretty off in Firefox.
Not a web dev, but I heard of this hack called XMLHttpRequest...
Right, but an SBOM (under the big assumption that it's fully accurate) would at least let you detect project ownership changes like that.

Not that I know what you would do with that information.

My scenario was to give an example of a supply chain attack where even a fully accurate SBOM would give no signal.

Fundamentally, if you are using FOSS distributed for no cost, and with no contractual relationship with the developers, then how complete and useful will a SBOM really be?

To be absolutely clear, I don't mean to dismiss the idea. But I remember Y2K when companies sent Y2K compliance request to vendors in their supply chain, including open source projects that had no obligation to the company, which struck me then as presumptuous. I don't like the assumption that because company X decides to use your free/open source software that obligates you to be aligned with industrial requirements.

That makes sense. I threw in my favorite (used to be underground) artist and saw every side-project they had pop up (and they have around a dozen). OTOH, I just threw in Nujabes and saw a number of people I do not recognize, which I find interesting.

From my tests, the suggestions make sense. It seems to be better than the spotify "I will play things that send you into an echo chamber" algorithm.
The first amendment isn't a privilege granted to citizens by the government that can be extended to non-citizens. It is a restriction on the powers of the government. The government has no constitutional power to restrict free speech of anybody.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

That's the entire text of the first ammendment.

No law abridging freedom of speech, period. No law that applies domestically, no law that applies internationally, no law that applies to citizens, no law that applies to non-citizens. No law, at all.
Typically middle management are users as well, but they are a minority of the user base and use a different set of features (like reporting). So now this becomes a question of which users are prioritized and finding a balance between prioritizing the experience of the small number of users who hold power over the rest, and keeping the product usable enough for the rest of the users to provide some value in data to management.
This is something Amazon is going to have to get better at, as I see Azure beginning to become the default (IBM) choice for many businesses.

This also has tons of use-cases for accessibility, getting PDF accessibility right is tons of work and even if you manage it, it's highly likely that the PDF viewers your users use don't support the necessary standards anyway.
> technical cofounder doesn't have any sort of monopoly on feasibility,

it's hard to tell what you're trying to say here, but people with the technical understanding of a field do in fact have a 'monopoly' on understanding what is and isn't technically feasible in that field, to the extent that anyone understands it at all

for some products they also have a 'monopoly' on understanding what products there's a market for in the field. if you're developing a new kind of swiss lathe, your customers are going to buy it, or not, in large part based on technical features like mrr, repeatability, and cycle time. if you don't understand the technical field, not only won't you understand what is technically feasible, you won't understand your product's value proposition. this obviously doesn't apply to mass-market products

This thread reminded me of this old gem: https://thesecatsdonotexist.com/ (warning: you may see some catspiders / r/Imsorryjon material!)

Now what would be interesting is a "demixer" which allows you to locate the source image(s) from multiple interations of a given image. Like a reverse image search but for generative images. I suppose it would rely on artefact matching or some other kind of granular pattern matching, along with other more general methods (assuming the source material is actually available online in the first place).
No, they (the manufacturer) are saying that users might "inadvertently" enter and confirm an incorrect value, which is not the same as the users enters one value but a bug causes it to be parsed, displayed and confirmed as a different value. The latter is what the Tweet claimed. Very confusing.

Also, why would you ever post about a potentially dangerous bug in a medical device without naming it? That just seems ... oddly sensational, to me.

Do you also think it's sad you can't sneak into Disneyland for 5 minutes for free just to see if there are any streakers in It's a Small World?

I'm getting the impression you're just an entitled gamer who wants a free ride from the University of Michigan, not a professional programmer or AI developer who would actually get some tangible value out of subscribing to ChatGPT for $20 a month. I'm thankful to be alive in a time I can so conveniently get so much value for so little cash.

Is that the case? Is $10 really too much to ask to use a high-end GPU for a month? Then it's not really as sad and hopeless as you complain it is. Just be a good boy all year, ask Santa for an GeForce RTX 4090 for Christmas, leave some cookies and milk out for him, and hope your parents get the hint!
What a problem. The solution required has an added effect of worsening the problem before it can get better. Why? Because the only way for it to impact you is to know it is a problem or act in a way to avoid it. And to solve a problem in society, said society needs to understand that problem.

Furthermore, it's becoming more and more important to not only opt out of this nonsense but to actively engage in sabotage of such data(legally). Google shouldn't know nothing about you, it should believe lots and lots of useless and incorrect information about you.
Well, not really - not much crumple zone in the front and the way the sides haven't crumpled at all means all of that force went into the occupant area.

One of the major differences between tables and block elements, is that block elements react to the context, and tables react to the content. I used to use "display: table" a lot, even on divs.

Nowadays, the block model has matured enough to moot the point, but back then, it was the best way to have content that didn't reflow, but would still be presentable.

ZkLocus: Authenticated Private Geolocation Off and On-Chain
Some pedestrian crossing buttons play different audible beats so blind people know when they can cross. Famously the beat of one in Sydney was sampled for a Billie Eilish song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-zeJRjP6xA skip to around 4:00 mins).

However others have no indicator or sound. To make things even more confusing is the pedestrian crossings can also be programmed to happen automatically at peak times with no button press, but absolutely need a button press outside of peak hour.
What about those weird proprietary HTML tags (ilayer, blink, etc.( that were not supported by both IE and Netscape Navigator that on first release required you to write the tag inside an HTML comment so as not to break the competing browser?

That not hacky enough to make this list? :)
Yeah, I think the big difference is that devs might actually [be the only people to] think those sound like interesting problems to work on, whereas making the world a better place through [equivalent jargon in niche logistics/tax/pensions etc] only excites a small number of people who aren't devs, especially if it's not that much of a technical challenge and the hypothetical moat is just sales and business logic. Which leaves money, and unless the founder with the business model hires rather than looking for tech cofounders, it's really only a possibility of future money for working unpaid on something they don't understand on offer...

> Because in this specific case this is completely in the well regarded tradition of liberalism. If people want to watch TikTok movies, it is up to their judgement whether that is a good idea or not.

This argument holds no water when corporations are running platforms that are used to spread disinformation and propaganda, which is tearing the fabric of society apart, and becoming a matter of national security.

The effects of propaganda and information warfare are well known[1], and I'm in constant disbelief that these platforms weren't heavily regulated years ago. Practically speaking, there is no difference from US and foreign companies in this matter, as they're all used for this purpose, and should be regulated equally. Though, obviously, it's easier to regulate foreign companies with ties to political adversaries, than local ones the US government is in a symbiotic relationship with.

I'm also in disbelief that this is such a controversial matter, and that politicans and the general public (especially on this forum) can't put two and two together and realize that the extreme sociopolitical polarization in the West is a direct consequence of information warfare.
