True. What are you going to do about it? I wish 1% of the effort denouncing FF because of the poor management were put towards forking it with better management.
Learning the contract is great, thank you for the work! How about the infra stack used by imessages? Does anyone have intel on that? The scale is incredible, which always makes me wonder how it can be so good while other apple web services (forums, dev portals, etc) can be so buggy and half baked
When I was a kid in school and got bored I would write html on a paper notebook. It got tedious quickly and sorta made me adopt a haml like notation for brevity.

Around the same time I had a pocket pc that I would take to vacations. It had a limited mobile IE, but no code or raw text editor, and I didn’t know how to get one. So I would code in JS 1.5 using pocket Word, then as soon as I got back home from holidays I would use ActiveSync to retrieve the word docs to my pc, convert them to HTML, and then sync them back to my pocket pc for use in pocket IE.

Made so many fun apps this (clunky) way. I also completely forgot about this until I saw your comment, thanks for triggering this trip down memory lane and apologies for the massive OT.
"Beeper does not have an official office, and we all work from home: ..., Sochi, ..., Kiev, ....".

So they work with Russia and do not know how to spell the capital of Ukraine.
No,

People who are highly skilled at this, can be easily stumped. Sure it might workfor artist who are more focused (tailor swift), it might pick out some interesting guest appearances (Eddie Van Halen on Beat It) but when you get multi talented performers who change everything about what do, they don't fit a "model". The most current example would be Andre3000's latest release.

What a strange question. Why does this matter?
I agree there are currently better ways of doing this (because as you mention the resource/protection trade off for this technology on this application is sub-optimal), but the context here is as an example on HN where the data privacy is obvious so I didn't have to write a whole paper explaining it.
>I just think it will die because everything else that was wonderful from 2009 or before already has

Assuming this is true, what are the leading hypotheses? Regression to the mean? Eternal September? I know everyone likes to talk about "enshittification", but what is the actual mechanism?

Since this is HN, someone's going to say "capitalism", but "capitalism" doesn't explain why Google search results get worse or Facebook is too annoying.
Most of this article is paid promotional bullshit, but it shouldn't be a surprise that billions of dollars being thrown at a short term pandemic surge would be an unwise investment.

Ghost kitchens are still a great idea, just not one that will support nonsensical WeWork hype and money.
Maybe do something about the illegal mining and deforestation instead?
Nitpick, but most atomic css libraries name things fairly consistently. In addition, you only have to memorize the names once. After that learning curve, you never have to think of a class name again.

In addition, with robust IDE support, you can type the css attribute and get autocomplete suggestions for the relevant utility.
So they define pessimists as people who did better than they expected?

I'm not convinced this means pessimists are smarter. Maybe it just means that smarter people are more likely to surprise themselves by how well they perform. If someone expects great outcomes, it doesn't make them pessimists if they do even better than that. Oxford's first definition of "pessimist" is "a person who tends to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen," which is not at all what the study looks at.
In practice, being reasonably optimistic has only minor inconvenience, while being pessimistic tends to be stressful, socially disadvantageous and self-fulfilling.

When shit happens, the optimist deals with it, ignoring it the rest of the time.

The pessimist will have to deal with it anyway but paying the price for a much longer time trying to avoid or “prepare for ” it.
That is what I was thinking in that you can only join a community after going to an event with it, the goal is to not turn communities into another subreddit but a place where people are truly connecting.

That last line is also completely true for me and the thought is events would lead to an increased amount of those chance encounters especially because people are meeting over things that they like.
Your stealing analogy is bad and you should feel bad.
Maybe because it requires a platform signature to use?
I've decided to hang on to my old paper encyclopedia from the 1990s.

How is permanent archiving different from the existing setup. As far as I understand, Instapaper already saved it's version of the article to your account, and I've never seen it lose anything because of a missing underlying article.

Are you saving the underlying article as pinboard does?

Longtime Instapaper fan here, the parser remains excellent and has kept up with all the newest shenanigans of the web over time much to my delight.
This is supposed to be a replacement to TrustZone applets.
TIL that xkcd has a YouTube channel!
Wow that’s not bad. Whenever a recruiter approached for a Canadian position I’ve always thought that would be just winter all year long and it will kill me both physically and emotionally. Guess I should at least see NA once :)

Are there warmer places like Spain and Portugal in USA/CA?
This isn't about Terry Tao specifically, but proof assistants can help you manage a proof when it's gotten too big or complex to manage in your head without making mistakes.

There was this project to use Lean to prove a theorem of Peter Scholze's (Scholze is a well-respected professor and a famous mathemtician). Apparently, it was so big and complex that he could barely keep it in his head, so after writing the proof, he and Kevin Buzzard formalized it with Lean.

https://www.quantamagazine.org/lean-computer-program-confirm...

Then, 6 months later, he was interviewed, where he talks about using Lean for proving his theorem:

https://xenaproject.wordpress.com/2021/06/05/half-a-year-of-...

And the experiment was finished in 2022. Announcement: https://leanprover-community.github.io/blog/posts/lte-final/
This wouldn't change anything. If the underlying license for a piece of content linked to your movies anywhere account expired, it would be removed from movies anywhere as well as the original service you bought it from. There's a possibility that maybe because it's an edge case it might end up still in the library of a synced service but that would be more of an unintended coincidence.

The game being played here is poker. If they call beeper's bluff then they risk setting a whole industry wide precedent that interop supercedes ToS (that's the only angle).

As it stands, ToS based C&D for interop is untested afaik.

We as a community need to discuss ToS-trolling and fight against it.
Money is always created out of nothing.
Well, I haven't seen these "HN users who refuse to use ad-blocker". Can you point to some example posts? I think you might have seen one or two and you're misreading the true sample size.

Anyway, an important point here to remember is: Users are not dollars. We are not all equally valuable to advertisers. Drug companies spend tons of money sending targeted advertising to doctors. If you're a fast-food worker, you don't see any of those ads. You get generic untargeted ads. These lucrative individuals tend to be more technical (most doctors I know are computer power-users), and are more likely to use adblock. So a relatively small percentage of users using adblock, as long as it's the right percentage of users, could have a huge effect on Google's bottom line here.
I believe that. But the simple fact they're cheating, doesn't make FF viable for watching youtube on my laptop.
Canada is in steep decline in every possible way. The only thing which can reverse this is a high entrepreneurial spirit and risk taking which will take another decade to come. Till then it will have worse conditions than a lot of third world countries.
The limitation is the maintainability of the tube. Cheap tubes go out easily and their repairability is limited. Especially phosphor/beam issues.

Cheap tubes also don't have features that assist you in maintaining them or correcting for picture issues that develop.
Thanks. I’ll check this out.
Movies Anywhere is hardly a 3rd party though. It's wholly owned by Disney and I suspect it will only last as long as it meshes with their streaming strategy.
> Would you then agree that an event loop is very well suited for web server workloads, with short lived requests + reasonably light CPU usage + lots of IO, which happens to be the territory both Rage and Puma are situated?

No, that's where I disagree. The average Ruby web application isn't as IO heavy as people claim, and often contains big chunks of CPU work (typically HTML templating or JSON generation/parsing) that run havoc in an event loop.

My measurements on dozens of Rails app showed the IO ratio tend to be in the 30-70% range. Most closer to 50%. The apps that do more IO than that either have terribly optimized DB queries, or are mostly acting as some sort of HTTP client for an API, but from my experience that's the exception, not the rule.

> For those workloads Ruby is already far down the list of best choices.

Raw speed is far from the only criteria when one chose a stack...
Well yes but it cuts both ways. "Greece" (Ελλάδα - Hellada) is not a "Greek" (Ελληνικά - Hellonika) word. Sorry if I've screwed up the transliteration, its all Greek to me!

Whenever a Έλληνας (Hellonas - I think) uses the term Greek or other Anglicised word then we (whoever we are) could sue right back!

Modern Greek is just as close to old or classical Greek (and that's a PHD discussion) as modern English to German or Dutch (and that's another diss.) Throw in borrow words, pidgins, creoles and that and it gets complicated very quickly.

I won't deny that say, ichthphi ... (OK I searched, I can say it but not spell it) ... Ichthyophthirius is Greek derived and possibly one of the finest tongue-twisters known to man, casually thrashing physalis and the like. Closer to home, politics and other words derived from Greek (mostly an old version) are more familiar examples.

Language is always a tricksy thing. When I was a child I studied Latin, French, German and English. All to a greater or lesser extent. Now I'm 50+, I actually understand some of the interplay between them. That doesn't mean that I can speak German (bit sad - I lived in West Germany for some years) but I do understand why Wegburg and Waybury look suspiciously similar.

Nearly all languages these days are an amalgam. English is famous for "stealing" words but it isn't alone, by any means. Welsh borrows mercilessly from English for obvious reasons. However, what all languages have is some sort of cultural independence, be it accent, words, diacritics, alphabet, pronunciation or even sheer bloody mindedness.
This is a bit too simplistic and frankly bizarre without accounting for the whole earth system or well established science. Petroleum geologists have very we characterized that association of clays with organic carbon. Finding source rock is #1 in O&G exploration. Additioanlly, there is clear evidence for orbital forcing of climate via milankovich cycles. Pinning it all on plate tectonics is strange without mentioning other factors. It doesn’t really lay out that erosion of mineral rich rocks and high bathymetric relief are associated with organic production. Also that preservation is associated with rapid burial from higher rainfall/erosion and basin containers also in found in tropical transpressional and convergent margins. Additionally cooling temps may create a differential that increases ocean currents momentum and rate of upwelling (thus more production and preservation). This is well known in the Miocene and other periods. Because this happens near the tropics (there is erosion, life, and so on at the poles due to lower differentials) is not news. Overall are very unique situations where organic carbon is preserved, some can be associated with clays and some ice ages. But far from a paradigm shift. I think it’s just a bumbled headline.
In principle - it's cool - but I already dread the increased iMessage spam that this will surely bring.

WhatsApp is already almost useless with Notifications turned on for me. Maybe this is specific to Japanese phone numbers, but iMessage was always the safe spot where no fishing/scams happened.

My mother actually got scammed out of ~2000 USD on WhatsApp.

I think I hope Apple kills this fast.
Probably not for existing organizations. Possibly for newly formed organizations, but it's unlikely to scale.

I've seen volunteer organizations founded on mild anarchistic principles thrive for a few decades while occasionally reinventing themselves. The key is a culture focusing on people working together for a common purpose. Keeping in mind that the purpose of the organization is more important than the organization itself.

There may be formal stakeholders and formal power hierarchies, but their role is kept to a minimum. Some people need to be in charge for legal and practical reasons, but leadership positions are not associated with high status. Ideally, the leaders are selected through a deliberative process, and they voluntarily step down after a while. Some people inevitably acquire high status within the community, but they are expected to recognize it and avoid being too vocal.
Trusted computing can be used for DRM. I'm much more interested in it as a privacy enhancing technology: the fact that you can have strong guarantees about what can be done with data in the enclave is useful for a lot of applications where you have sensitive data.

(Putting aside the fact for the moment that most - if not all - trusted computing platforms have some security vulnerabilities. Obviously this is bad, but doesn't preclude their utility)
Cool story. Care to administer a psychological evaluation in person? If spell checked typed words are a measure of psychology you just failed. I’m not “in” wise guy.
It’s funny that you mention “play[ing] things in the background” as a perk, because for me, artificially paywalling a feature on mobile devices that you get for free on every computer is a great way to get me not to pay for your service.
The threat model you have in your head seems to imply that you don't trust your OS to not peek into what Whisper is doing? There are very few workloads that need or can operate under that model.

If the work to crack a game isn't done early on, it can become infinitely harder to do that work later, especially if there's a multiplayer component that needs to be reverse engineered. Being proactive about cracking, emulation, and piracy is the pro-social and pro-preservation of our culture/technology/heritage move here.
Has the Apache Nation had a dispute with the ASF? Or just some activism group?

Not that it matters, really. The all-girls' Catholic school, Ursuline Academy of New Orleans, has a sorority system based on year of graduation. The classes/sororities were called Skips (Skipperettes), Macs (Merry Macs), Sioux, and Leps (Leprechauns). The school sought, and received, permission from the Sioux Nation to use the Sioux name. Despite this, after Black Lives Matter happened there was a nationwide reexamination of whiteness's impact on our culture, particularly with regard to cultural appropriation, and the decision was made to change the name of the Sioux class to Phoenixes (or Nix for short). So the Apache Software Foundation probably won't be named such for much longer.

You should be aware that most software engineers in the world live outside of US. Most of them make less than that. But that's just nitpicking.

The problem with your logic is that you suggest to feed the beast that will devour you whole. Youtube is involved in multiple planetary-scale propaganda campaigns.

Can you give me a link to an example?
You know, your question is very interesting: no, we didn't.

Anecdote: we reverse engineered several Microsoft products and before Microsoft Windows 7 launch we were contacted by Microsoft QA and they offered us support to check if our software was compatible with it! BTW, our software was installed in millions of computers around the globe. For example, Trend Micro used our software for supporting their antivirus in Outlook Express and Windows Mail.

Our Deviare Hooking Engine [1] was eclipsed when Microsoft Detours [2] turned to an MIT license and free. Even when our was superior in several ways. This is why I wrote that you should continuously fight for "adversarial interoperability".

The Problem at the Heart of Public Access
"A simple search of Google or Google Scholar is enormously valuable for discovery. But that doesn’t make the biomedical literature usable to all. There are at least two reasons for this. For one, not everyone can establish the trustworthiness and authority of information resources, particularly given that we are awash in a sea of misinformation including on biomedical topics. And second, not everyone can distill or synthesize what they find into usable knowledge."

Indeed; the famous "do your own research" with Google (or now a chatbot).

"Perhaps we have seen comparatively little interest in this use case because it is the more complicated one to address. Many of the ideas that have taken hold are generally about what scientific publishers themselves can do, for example to enable researchers to provide annotation and translation of scientific articles, often through plain language summaries."

So more free labor from academics? No thanks.

"Perhaps there is an opportunity, as agencies implement this policy guidance, to consider the needs that are specific to their own portions of the literature."

Sounds better, but note that in many (most?) fields there are no governmental agencies.
DMA.

These companies have many years to comply and drop Fred functionality to 3PAs.

It's not enough imo.

DMA should've explicitly greenlight adversarial interop, superceding any existing agreement between gatekeeper and interop developers.
Way outside my area of experience, but Van Buren itself doesn’t appear to address this issue. I was thinking more in terms of Apple framing a claim based on access through an act of fraud.
Can I have Cheeky Retorts for $100 Alex.

1. If you have a very large (say 100 million elements ) array in descending order, you can use Bubblesort to sort it in the ascending order - the worst case complexity is kn^2, and this is literaly the worst case, so its the equivalent of a sleep(t) routine for a large t ( depending on how sow your system is).

2. If you have a very small array (say n < 10), you can create toy examples where kn^2 < m*nlogn, for carefully chosen values of k, m & n. Say n = 3, k = 1, m = 7.
It was React Conf 2018 in Nevada when they first talked about StyleX and said they planned to open source it. Though I thought it was going to come much sooner than 5 years, I am so glad it has been released! 2018 was peak css-in-js era and StyleX approach of deduping classes and remove runtime JS was a really performant approach and it sounded like the DX was nice as well.

Related comment from gwern: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38438859. Can't find the docs now - I think they were the old GPT 3 ones - but they suggested a low value somewhere around 0.01 and 0.1.

Also - why qlora rather than a full finetune? Using LambdaLabs, it'd cost roughly the same as your quote. Cheaper I think if you're willing to gamble with fp8: https://github.com/mosaicml/llm-foundry/tree/main/scripts/tr.... And fewer hyperparameters to tune as well

AirMessage is open source (and quite old, unsure if its maintained). It requires a Mac computer to run some kind of forwarding software however.
It uses separate UIDs mostly.
Reverse-engineering and documenting protocol is OK. Implementing protocol according to the documentation is OK.

Copying and modifying binary with proprietary license is not OK.
Maybe something like "The Pirate Bay" instead of dealing with a fragmented market that's just as bad as 90s cable?

That's not what it means. This is a style of writing common in some academic fields where when they measure multiple qualities, they'll present them in the abstract next to each other in parentheses rather than repeat full sentences.

You should read "All else being equal, those highest on cognitive ability experience a 22% (53.2%) increase in the probability of realism (pessimism)" as as a 22% increase in realism and a 53.2% increase in pessimism

It was a political move to shame Bezos into donating money to the state using some reasoning that would make headlines (like this one) and spread the awareness of the tactic.

Bezos, though, was smarter and did donated the money, but to the neighbor state of Pará (which also has the Amazon forest in its territory). So the public image blackmailing worked in a way, but the governor who did it did not get the money.
I've been told by a C-level exec at a similar company (but relating to banking) that citing Van Buren against CFAA claims gets the claimant's lawyers to back all the way off.
