not at all.

except in the sense that technology/products are political.

Mozilla advocates a free and open internet. Providing a free and open browser is quite essential to that, and in fact any other effort is pretty much wasted if they can't deliver that.

> > There is a difference between a directory, which is a file system concept, and the graphical user interface metaphor that is used to represent it (a folder).

So there really is no difference in a technical (programmers talking) context. :)

Bank Under Pressure: Stress-Testing at the European Central Bank
I’d guess the relative risk of sending a plane to an uncontrolled crash is orders of magnitude greater than the risk of speeding.

We do punish things that have higher risk profiles such as driving drunk, and I’d guess I’m still much more likely to kill someone by abandoning my cessna than driving with a .08 bac.
I am sorry but what can ChatGPT do that a couple of minutes of googling couldn’t solved? Write half hearted essays that all contain the same phrase?
Yeah, I’d seen higher-frame rate video before, and since (though maybe not again in a movie theater?) but that’s the only time I’ve noticed that particular problem. I spent a little time searching around after I saw it, trying to figure out what happened, but the chatter over 48fps in general drowned out any signal about what might have caused that specific issue (though many others did report experiencing a similar sped-up effect, at the time—never found an explanation, though, aside from just blaming the high frame rate, but I suspect there’s more to it)
As explained by the linked article in Polish, the workshop reached out to them and asked of they could figure out why the train isn't working.
like chrome it can change over time if the value proposition changes.
Can you try https://github.com/adamritter/fastgron as a comparision?
I literally grew up in crackhouses.
tldr
hackers are from DragonSector (one of the top CTF teams) - https://dragonsector.pl/

They were contacted by workshop which was doing maintenance of those trains and had no idea why they stopped working
interesting. I hear alot about how HN gives much needed boost to public profile and such too.

I wonder if its how its submitted that matters. Things that organically end up on the front page face a bit less scrunity overall than things that are posted as "Show HN" in my ancedotal view
Yup, every "security update" on my Samsung Verizon phone installs at least 3 crap games. Every single time.
It fits with how some people think about immigration on either side of the pond. That some is close to 50% on the western side of the pond.
BMW EV achieves 1000km in range using Dual-Chemistry batteries
Not because it’s hard work to protect themselves. But because it’s typically not a business priority (at top middle and via coercion and incentives, the bottom/workers too) to invest in security. Most of these big hacks are via well known threats that can be caught in typical good-faith auditing
I don't think just reading page 5* in the auditors report and picking out "Management and general" as the total comp to management is going to give an accurate view of what the chair is getting.

Something more complicated is going on, for instance if you look at the tax filings, page 10, you find that total functional expenses is 30 million, with leadership making up 6.5 of those. On page 7 you can Mitchell that is getting about 7 million total (but not from Mozilla itself apparently) while the rest of the board is only getting around 350 k each.

Also note that on page 2 they put their fellowship and awards programs under the headline "Leadership development", an expense to the tune of 19 million.

*All page numbers refer to the number written on the pages in the pdf.
Is it legal for the school board to make that a goal, given the recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmation action?
Why is this comment at the top of the discussion thread?

We're talking about the validity of the mathematical theory, not new age woo-woo methaphysical theories.
Simply type in your desired time frame, such as '30 minutes ago,' and we'll instantly reveal the precise time it was in the past. But that's not the end of it! Feel free to experiment with different intervals like '1 hour ago,' '2 hours ago,' and beyond. It's your go-to tool for pinpointing when events occurred or satisfying your curiosity about times gone by.
The OTF is not the CIA. trash article.
Guilty... I made a wikipedia edit 2 hours ago, too, but there was no snark in it
While they were always political, somewhere along the way Mozilla's politics changed. They stopped being an organization dedicated to furthering the cause of free software, and instead dedicated themselves to promoting radical left wing political causes. For example here's the mission statement for riseup.net, which Mozilla gives money to: https://riseup.net/en/about-us

> Riseup’s Purpose

> We value, support, and engage in struggles for human liberation, the ethical treatment of animals, and ecological sustainability.

> We organize on the basis of autonomy, mutual aid, resource sharing, participatory knowledge, social advocacy, anti-oppression work

> We empower organizations and individuals to use technology in struggles for liberation

> Meet the Collective

> Cedar Waxwing is a revolutionary hacker and critic of late capitalism. Although deeply skeptical of technology, Waxwing has spent much of his life in a quixotic attempt to use technology for liberation.

> Colibrí Jacobina doesn’t hesitate to use her abilities and radical spirit to fight rich people, men, meat eaters, fascists, monogamy, and the police.

...And so on.

When you look at what this group actually does it's basically a glorified mail host for Queer, Feminist, Anarchist, Socialist, Labor, Unions etc. mailing lists: https://lists.riseup.net/www/

Now I mean I'm not necessarily against all of these causes but WTF is Mozilla doing bankrolling the "fight against monogamy and meat eaters" or "Anarchist and Socialist" groups? They have lost the plot.

This shift of focus has occurred during the reign of a CEO who is a lawyer and has boosted her own comp to $7.5M annually of course, what a true revolutionary socialist she is!
Depends on country's laws and contracts between parties. If the contract does not mandate service by the manufacturer, only suggests it, this sounds illegal. Not because of hacking, because of not documenting behavior and disturbing state entity hence the people.
It comes down to the part of the city you visit. LA, Sac, Sf all have similar areas to what you saw in SF.

They have other nice areas too, where the residents can ignore the problems that concentrated in certain neighborhoods. And they continue opposing building up single family home areas.

All major west coast cities have massive disparities and homeless problems.

And even other cities like Phoenix have big homeless problems. But building cities super spread out does serve to make the homeless problem go elsewhere, I.e a downtownish area.
Sounds like today's "based on a true story"...
> Cons: If you dislike religious cultures you may find it hard to cultivate local friendships. Christianity of several stripes has very deep roots here that are hard to avoid. That said, it's not the Bible belt - the Mennonites, for instance, tend to be more focused on disaster relief than on Bible thumping.

"there is Pittsburg and Philly... and Alabama in between"

Definitely not Southern Baptist bible thumping but yeah, a deeply conservative, in like the 1750's sense, area (i.e Amish, et al). The non-Amish-y types are still pretty deep in the Jesus, too. This is where Rick Santorum comes from, after all.
>The CDC also recommends changing the cat's litter box daily

Yeah, I'll get right on that. Sheesh, the risk-sensitivity of the modern medical profession is a bit ridiculous, sometimes.

Edit: I'm interpreting this as "throw out all the litter and replace it with fresh litter", which anyone who owns a cat will surely agree is insanity.
It's not like companies are in any way shy about that. They love to associate themselves publicly with left wing causes, even going as far as to tell customers who don't like it to fuck off. See Disney, large parts of the news business, Budweiser and endless more. How often have moviegoers been told that they are obliged to like a movie because of the genders/races of the actors?

Musk isn't doing anything unusual in that regard. The only reason he attracts such opprobrium is the left feel they should have ideological control over every institution. Musk isn't on board with that and it infuriates them.
There's so many variables there! What kind of purity could 1889 achieve? What kind of uniformity between the N samples? How do they know the different cleaning procedures (!) are not adding mass by leaving something behind? If the samples are known to be oxidizing, why leave them in air? Why are there multiple elbows in that graph around 1950 -- surely another procedural change but again not uniformly applied?

Maybe these aren't the best sources of historic mass data.
This paints a rosy picture of human-generated data now. It's not as if most human data is reliable. Even among peer reviewed scientific literature, most of it is crap and it takes effort to find the good stuff. Also, your analogy kind of misses the point of the Fallout games. The pre-war world was awful, filled with evil corporations like Vault-tech and Nuka Cola that murdered and poisoned their customers, and the point of the games is that people need to move on and not idealize the past.
Id much rather see a PoC…
Internet Explorer references are overall just stale. Most uses of the catchphrase "X is the new IE" are basically shorthand for "I personally don't like browser X".
Your comment history would suggest that you work on the project?
Video played perfectly for me, though I did leave it at 1x because I didn't want to miss anything with his accent.

My only mild disappointment is he seems to feel that Mastodon is free of censorship. I've never installed or reviewed configuring Mastodon because my understanding is the someone, somewhere, can somehow interfere with what a user sees in a feed.

Anyone familiar with this? Is it just default install configuration that leads to this behavior?
Budapest, Hungary

Pros: cost of living is relatively low especially for things like utilities etc. Very strong social programs to support young families (6 months maternity leave paid at 100% followed by 18 months of benefits paid at up to twice the minimum wage, plus up to 30 months of unpaid leave for one parent, access to preferential rate loans, grants etc. without means testing for young families, etc.). Excellent and cheap public transport. Beautiful city/architecture.

Cons: purchasing power is relatively low, inflation is outpacing salaries and interest on savings, extremely populist government with little hope of change, high levels of corruption, less progressive attitudes towards feminism, gender identity, sexuality, racial diversity. Older folks often don’t speak English.
Parent post is talking about LLMs, i.e. Large LMs. Research on LLMs is indeed in its infancy.
It will eventually end, though, accompanied by the chatter of a gaggle of naysayers chicken-littling the people trying to raise the alarm. I'm delighted to be here to witness the death of liberty and descent of the West into the throes of everything it once claimed to represent the polar opposite of, and also delighted to be old enough that I'll likely die before it becomes Actual Big Brother levels of oppressive.
> Everyone is happy with a lot of pretty invasive stuff

I beg to differ. The fact we're even having this discussion means not everyone is happy with the situation. Maybe Stockholm Syndrome has kicked in for you, but I'm still resisting
Beware - a rant ahead:

We can thank mozilla mgmt for consistently making "great" decisions, with UX changes, making it worse and worse over time. Introducing "features" not many really need or want. And of course making it less and less configurable, taking away options from power users "for sake of users", which of course are long gone and not coming back. They pretty much alienated their user base with every release more infuriating than previous. I've "upgraded" laptop to one with 16G ram, only to find firefox consistently eating up all my ram to the point when it's either killed by OOM (speaking of which - in-kernel oom killer got enshitified so bad it takes 1.5h+ to decide what to kill, unless you spend days researching how to setup your system) or by other precautionary means. For past few months I'm launching this browser in memory-restricted cgroup, it gets 7gigs. And you know what? It gets killed about 15-25 times a day because it eats more. The ram upgrade did not help. At all. They even took away option to limit process count, so now it spawns whatever amount it wants. As if the browser was the only thing running on computer.
This is the primary reason folks left. The browser got maddeningly bad in terms of resource usage, UI and configurability. The rest 2.2% users have to suffer this. I suspect this is not going to change at all and I feel there is strong ($500M+) incentive from google for stuff to not improve at all.
I thought that ended when all the DEI folks got fired
Not sure why this sidesteps the potentially quite different legal settings for spying and surveilling.
As an occasional Wikipedia editor... I would hate this so much.
What is incorrect in this reference? You have not proposed any counterarguments. Also if you need just more fresh data - how do you propose to interpret the result of the Rosenhan's experiment?
I think your comment is also reinforced by the subjectiveness of the question, "What is toxicity?" While I can see a trend of decreasing respect for others, both online and in-person, the pendulum certainly swings in the other direction. Some individuals seek out any opportunities to play the victim and feel attacked, whether they do so consciously or not, and this seems to lead to those of this mentality calling any critique 'toxic'.
Level of risk has something to do with it too. Also the benefit.

There’s small risk and tremendous benefit to letting everyone go 5 mph faster (time is money) but no benefit and relatively high risk to letting them turn Cessnas into missiles. The calculus on this one is easy
GPT 6 or GTA 6 that is the question
GOV.UK is dramatically more competent than USDS, are they not? I admit I'm not terribly familiar, but I wouldn't want to depend on the agency behind the Department of Education and VA websites for anything. I've seen the VA site, in particular, do serious harm to the people it's meant to serve.
What a sweet idea. I could see a lot of my (essentially) e-waste becoming ornaments, though not many devices are as conventionally "beautiful" as the CueCat.
Indeed, Chrome is bloated. Safari is, well Safari. Firefox is a good Open Source option.
This should be a standard consumer protection law (right to repair), not a monopoly thing :/
Into that Quantum-bot exosuit thingy?
I agree. The Visual Editor has simplified editing Wikipedia pages from a technical standpoint, but at the same time lowering the bar to edit pages also lowered the quality of many of those edits, making moderation even more difficult.

It's a vicious circle.
Anything generative? At its core, Google doesn't 'make' anything when you query it.
the unrealized gains can be used as backing for loans, though. and loans aren't income if the loan goes to a business but is backed by the owner/CEO's untaxable holdings because they haven't been converted into income.

There's a hole, here. and it is being exploited.
Caesar was a great man because he won. We'd be saying the exact same thing about Hitler today instead of, say, Churchill had WW2 turned out differently.
What we're witnessing now is the culmination of the 50+ year Republican Project to hijack government and the judiciary to bring about:

1. Destruction of the administrative state. This is why we're seeing so many cases (and rulings) that limit the power of agencies and the rights of people. This is the deregulation component of neoliberalism. Make no mistake, the only reason for this is to transfer wealth to the already insanely rich; and

2. Cutting taxes and "entitlements". Again, this is just neoliberalism: to transfer wealth to the already insanely rich. But it also creates a debt-laden (and thus compliant) work force. After all, if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, you're showing up to work and you're certainly not risking that job by unionizing.

Once you realize this, you can see through the politics for what it is. For example, the Republican-led House recently proposed funding the Israel military and now, suddenly caring that we're spending too much, wants to fund it by cutting funding to the IRS [1].

This is ridiculous for two reasons.

First, every $1 spent on the IRS produces >$1 of tax revenue [2].

Second, of the $33 trillion in debt the US government has accumulated in over 2 centuries, nearly a quarter of that came from the 4 years of the Trump presidency [3], mostly from tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy.

Again, all of this is simply wealthy transfer to the ultra-wealthy.

Compared to typing a nonstandard string in a nonstandard place? Going to about:config where all the deep settings are and searching for "ocsp" is downright obvious.
They suck the *insurers* dry?

Insurance is one of the major problems in the US, and they're a parasite on all of the US society, so this line of thinking is completely backwards.

However, the idea that physicians should make less is reasonable, in order to get people who are more interested in the real medicine, rather than money seeking people that is often found now. Getting rid of insurance and the structures that involve it essentially solves this issue.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely to occur, so sidestepping everything using capitalism is the only way forward I can see. One good example is making diagnostic tools at the house more common place. It's pretty typical to be able to purchase an entire machine for the price you will be charged at a physician's office.

For instance, a good 12 lead ECG may cost about $1300 to get for your house, but it will also cost that much to get one test done at the physicians office. So it's clear that buying one for the house is the way to go, as you can do it everyday for years for the price of one time through 'the system'. It could also be much cheaper if targeting every household through economies of scale.

This is true for essentially all diagnostic tools. So it's about time people just expand their first aid kits to involve some of these simple diagnostic tools, like urinalysis kits, etc.

The interpretation is of course valuable, as it takes a little while to understand the output of different tools, but much of this is very capable to be automated and sold with the tool or plugged into a foss solution.

Perhaps it's not ideal to some, but it's the easiest to occur in capitalistic settings and where insurance keeps costs at institutions so high.
Sure, but the government HAS to make that determination in a data-driven way. It cannot be based on anything subjective, for what should be obvious reasons.

On top of that, said lack of knowledge is a stated goal of all privacy-focused browsers. GA-blindness is an implementation detail of these policies. Any method the government could use to accurately track that information is effectively a bug in need of fixing from the POV of the browser's developers.

The most practical answer is, as was posted by someone else here, the government spec'ing to a standard instead of a set of browsers, which it really should be doing in the first place. The mere fact that the current setup means that the government accidentally makes and/or breaks winners in that space is justification enough.
Same, I've conducted lots of interviews over the years and I've never used them. But there are plenty of companies, especially larger ones, that still rely on that style of interview question. And if your day-to-day job doesn't involve intensive work with algorithms, then it's easy to let those skills slip.
This is great! Thanks so much. Out of curiosity, what dumb phone are you using?
PRISM.
The current scientific research apparatus is more about being first than about being correct or thorough. A paper that gets out early means more citations, and many of the faculty sit on the editorial boards, and are able to suggest/enforce specific citations during the review process. Academics aren't fully to blame for this, it's just how the incentives are set up in the system. Tenure and promotions are increasingly based on h-index; a measure of impact based largely on the number of citations.
good negotiation skills and friends in high places.

Salary has nothing to do with productivity at this level of an org.
Worked on projects dealing with digitally signed/encrypted email. The main technical hurdles I always found were around key management:

1. How do you discover someone's encrypting key? There is no simple way and it involves understanding how it all works. Solutions using the DNS were proposed but never really workable or saw wide deployment (I tried). Gets more complex when someone updates keys.

2. Multi-device - not only do I have to mange keys, but now I have to make sure I have the same keys on my laptop mail agent and phone. That sucks. Using a web client also complicates this.

and a non-technical issue:

3. Large email provides and specialized service found things that sorta work enough. Every bank/medical office has a "secure messaging portal" that you can use that aren't as simple as email, but works well enough that there is no pressure to move to more standard email. Large providers like Microsoft have internal solutions to send secure email that works in their service and if it is free to get an account, it works (even if it's annoying).
Behind all this is a valid question. How does one evaluate prompts and LLMs? As gipeties (custom gpts) become more popular millions of hours will be wasted by ones that have been built badly. Without some sort of automated quality control, gipeties will become a victim of their own success.
> Are you saying evolution prefers a social caste system?

Probably, otherwise the natural occurrence of social castes wouldn't require intervention policies.

> And that our destiny is to become more stratified?

Not necessarily, although consider the possibility that integration may be artificially enforced and unstable without constant intervention.
Then a goal should make the responsibility as minimal as possible (buying a box, inserting a thumb drive and answering a few questions and you're off to the races).

I wouldnt mind paying full price for a printer if i can get ink for the right price. 2 Ink cartridges cost almost as much as a discounted printer that comes with them included. Its actually embarassing
Good point. Why wouldn’t you attempt to obstruct if it might save you from a long jail term and the downside is only six more months.
My checks are bouncing off the heavily skewed balance. These internet posts are pretty much the only "checks and balances", and they do diddly squat.
No, and for a decade at this point.
How does it stem from his persona, and not your countries unions? Unions can break whole industries if they're allowed to, and have done many times in the past. It's not a threat unique to Tesla.
