"but there are so many other markets where you can build and sell much simpler products and dominate.
"

You need to clarify this with real examples. Which Markets ? The reason everyone wants to be in US Market is because of the size, adoption, maturity of consumers (willingness to spend) and many other reasons. Yes there may be markets where it may be easier to replicate but they have limits and ultimately you want a piece of the US Market.
> This is a political problem, not a technological one.

The political problem is a component of the technological problem. It's a seriously bad thing when technologies are developed without taking into account the potential for abuse.

People developing new technologies can try to wash their hands of the foreseeable social consequences of their work, but that doesn't make their hands clean.
But unless you’re planning to abandon your kids, most of the investment comes in the years after and this responsibility is equally on both father and mother.

One of the players in this game can freely walk away with no negative consequences. The other player is biologically attuned to lose their mind until they reunite with their child. Also, one player can have children up until 30-50, depending on how well they roll. The other player can have children until the moment they die. One player will have 3-5 years of extremely negative health effects starting with conception. The other player can fulfill their obligation in their sleep and never think about it again.
People underrate the homogenous culture that makes it easier to build something and have a large market that will consume it.

In Europe, for example, you have a much less homogenous market. A French retailer/business may be popular in France, but has a lot of friction going to another market. Not so much in the US.

So large, homogenous, wealthy culture that, if you can address a problem for, creates a financial foundation, and makes your app exist in at least a cultural context somewhat portable to other markets outside the US.
Why is there a double standard though? How are your comments not viewed as racist? Should you make the same kind of remarks about the culture and stereotypes of a different ethnicity/race, you almost certainly wouldn't be met with tolerance.
At this point there’s really no other browser. There’s Chromium, and there’s Firefox. With manifest V3 being removed from Chromium, the non-Firefox alternatives might as well all be identical.

It was my naïve understanding that the training data no longer existed, having been absorbed in aggregate. (Like how a simple XOR neutral net can't reproduce its training data.) But a) I don't know how this stuff actually works, and b) apparently it does exist.

Has anyone figured out why asking it to repeat words forever makes the exploit work?

Also, I've gotten it into infinite loops before without asking. I wonder if that would eventually reveal anything.
They want FF to be on life support, not end it. Their half a billion a year is buying exactly that.
If you're ok installing stuff on the remote side, which you'd need to be to run this anyway, I'd expect wireshark to work well with X forwarding.

This looks nicer, but X forwarding is a generic solution to displaying GUIs locally while running them remotely.
In this case, though, a government website should be aiming to support the lowest common denominator in web standards. They shouldn't be writing websites that require something like the shadow DOM or the File System Access API. Standards low enough that actually testing against different browsers is an afterthought.

And how could Firefox possibly complete against default browsers? Is it even worth the investment?
Residential retrofits: Older Northeast US houses have ungrounded old cloth wiring, no cable protection, and no overhead light switches. While an electrician might be willing to touch the wiring, the walls simply cannot be cut cleanly, demoing them is a nightmare, and repair needs a skilled plasterer or a full demo and rebuild which is not all that much more effort. Assuming the wireless solution can plug in to a bulb socket or is simple to retrofit to a fixture
They're trying to. But that shift will not happen. It's easier to hire people in Bangalore. If you go work elsewhere, you'll lose out on this weather and the other tech cities really suck. Chennai is crying under floods right now and is hot and humid AF all the time. Hyderabad is only a little better and salaries are much lower than Bangalore. Pune used to have good weather but well, it's not as good as Bangalore, but the food is great in Pune.

No. The industry is here to stay. For better or for worse.
I've written a sort perhaps a handful of times in the last 40 years. Each of those was a bubble sort. I was nearly-always sorting <4 elements (and often just 1, or even 0).

These were rare cases where I didn't have a sort algorithm in a library -- perhaps because I needed to pass in a comparator that wasn't easily supported in the language. So I banged out whatever was easiest to get me moving on to the actual problem. If the sort became a noticeable part of the running time, I'd deal with that when I had performance numbers.

Bubble sort was easy to remember and quick to bang out. For all I know I really was writing an insertion sort; all O(n^2) sorts look pretty much the same.

I haven't written any sorts at all in well over a decade, since all languages have substantial support. If I'm writing a sort, something has gone very wrong.

This is why AI software must not be restricted, so that ordinary people and the civic minded can develop personal and public AI systems to counter corporate AI. The future of AI is adversarial.

Now freedom to develop AI software doesn't mean freedom to use it however you please and its use should be regulated, in particular to protect individuals from things like this. But of course people cannot be trusted, so you need to be able to deploy your own countermeasures.

Tuscany - Chianti Area, Italy

Pros: I am living in one of the most beautiful place in the world. I am surrounded by hills and vineyard, I can reach Florence, Lucca or other wonderful places in less than 30 minutes, mountains to ski or wonderful beaches (i.e. Cinque Terre) in less than 90 minutes. Good food, decent weather, decent healthcare.

Cons: Low salaries, high cost of living and housing (compared also to the rest of Italy), not too many opportunities in tech (I am WFH for a big tech company)
I once ran over my phone with a mower. Tried to log onto Verizon's site to buy a new one. Please enter the code shown on your phone. No alternative way to sign in. Nothing. I contacted chat support and they wouldn't talk to me until I verified through my phone. Obviously impossible. I ended up chatting with sales support and begging each person to forward me to tech support until one finally took pity on me and forwarded me to someone who was cool enough to actually help me. What the hell.
hey hn, andy from deno here. from working with larger companies interested in using our v8 isolate cloud infrastructure, its no surprise that terraform is a preferred approach for reliably provisioning and managing many projects on Deno Deploy/Subhosting at scale.

we know our documentation is a bit sparse (we're working on it!), but we've included a walkthrough on how to deploy local code/assets to Deno Deploy via Terraform. we'd love to get any feedback. is this something you'd use?
I think you are misunderstanding the argument. Yes, there have always been rich neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods in cities, but the idea was that with everyone "packed in" together and making use of shared resources like sidewalks, stores, and subways, that people would essentially be forced to come into contact with others from different socio-economic levels.

I agree with AnimalMuppet's comment - car-centric behavior kills this. For example, if you go to older cities that were developed "pre-car" in the US like NYC or Boston, I feel like you get more interaction just because you're likely to interact with more people on the sidewalks or subway/T. Living in a car-centric city like Austin is totally different. As much as Austin likes to promote its progressive ethos, this is definitely one of the most segregated cities I've ever experienced, even more so now that housing prices have gotten insane - poorer people live further out, and the public transportation system is pretty abysmal and there is much more of a socioeconomic divide in people who use it (primarily because, and I see this all over the US, but many people love to talk about the need and benefits of light rail, but buses are often seen as "for the poors").

Cory Doctorow: Freeing Ourselves from the Clutches of Big Tech
FireFox is so good these days. This post is nonsense.
I'm surprised how well it handles it, the load average never went over 3.
That's the whole point of a standard (note that I said for .gov): the government says what standard they interop with. They either conform or don't. If other implementations don't conform, they are wrong. If the site doesn't conform, it is wrong. If it's not in scope for the standard (e.g. layout/font), it's out of scope. If the standard is underspecified or wrong somehow, you fix that and .gov now targets the new revision.

The government doesn't need to worry about market share. They can just dictate that this is what your browser needs to do to work with government systems. This is both more fair and easier for everyone; you don't have a moving target to aim for, and can just refer to the standard for what to do.

Ukraine.

We used to be just a heaven with a lowest big-mac index and a lowest internet prices and a lowest internet censourship on the planet. But our desire to live a good live and do not think about the future has lead us to the war.

Poland in 90s was exactly like Ukraine in terms of economic, but now Poland is in top-20 and Ukraine is in the ass. But I love it with whole my heart and will continue to live here despite any changes in the government. Who knows, maybe Russian government will be better for us than BlackRock-approved fagship and US' spyship like FATCO. Europe must be either being morally destroyed via too much comfort or being annoyed with our high as Moon corruption levels - one of these two statement must explains why West's help is so absent at the moment of 12/5.

comcom: competitive compatibility. Hadn't heard this term before but I like it.
Developing prompts for these models isn't a science yet. It does seem to meet most of the criteria for an art though.

We recognize some outputs as high quality, and others as low quality, but often can't articulate the exact reason why. It seems that some people are able to reliably produce high quality results, indicating there is some kind of skill involved. More precisely, the quality of an individual artist's last output is positively correlated with the quality of their next output. A kind of imprecise "shop talk" has emerged, self describing as "prompt engineering", which resembles the conversations artists in other mediums have.

For people in tech this will seem most similar to graphic designers. They produce much nicer looking interfaces than lay people can. We often can't explain why, but recognize it to be the case. And graphic designers have their own set of jargon, which is useful to them, but is not scientific.

"Prompt artist" is a better term than "prompt engineer".
So the way out of this is that you have the constitutional right to confront your accuser in court. When accused by a piece of software that generally means they have to disclose the source code and explain how it came to its answers.

Not many people have exercised this right with respect to DUI breathalyzers but it exists and was affirmed by the Supreme Court. And it will also apply to AI.
I think that's a bit harsh - this was a complex system written in Common Lisp that had a front end in NeWS with some C plumbing linking the two together.

PostScript and Lisp are actually pretty similar when the former is used in an interactive graphical environment (i.e. not on a printer!).
I'm not so worried.

I don't visit any US government sites ever, and very few corporate sites. The ones that I have problems with (Microsoft O365 in particular!!) are easily faked by setting the user agent to Edge on Windows. That magically solves everything (proving that Microsoft is deliberately breaking the experience on Firefox!).

But "Supporting" a browser doesn't really mean very much. As long as the browser is standards compliant it will still work.
Didn't mozilla also have a related speech to text software that got canned/moved to a different company? Or was that different?
The specific software I'm using is far from tfa. It help with setting up fan curves and OC settings immediately without rebooting to BIOS and then rebooting again to test these settings under a load. It doesn't even have tray/bg mode.

Same for mouse setup. It's just a bunch of controls that should have been in standard settings of both OSes. Because having a precise pointing device and not being able to turn off some pre-defined "pointer enhancement" bullshit built into an OS is just stupid. These "accelerations" stopped making sense ages ago. I find it ironic that a Proprietary RGB Gaming Mouse Manager actually turns off enhancements and gets off the way.

About sleep, well. Never seen non-working windows sleep myself, neither heard about that from anyone I know. But on linux it is among things that I never even expect to work, regardless of hardware (unless it's an old mid-tier bestseller).

The difference in our experience likely depends on hardware preferences, mainly main board and graphics card. But I'm not going to add another level of insecure pickiness to purchases or to replace around $1-1.5k total in PC parts to maybe please an OS. I know proprietary hardware is not linux'es fault, but if it doesn't work, it does not.

My advice to tfa is to just never buy HP, which is a definition of scam.
>The place I worked then had forced Chrome's homepage to be some crappy SharePoint page. Getting into that required logging into our Microsoft account, and the checkbox to remember our login for five days literally never worked.

Yes but, usually you are logged into your PC with the same account. So with SSO in Edge and Firefox, it would just log you in.
> I can’t change the 12V lead acid battery in my EV

Aside from that not having anything to do with it being an EV, it's worth mentioning that many newer EVs (most of the ones sold, perhaps) use a lithium 12V battery now, not lead acid. So in general they ought to last longer anyway. Plus Tesla, at least, doesn't 'register' batteries the way BMW does.
Oh, I know, believe me.
Same thing happened to me but in my case, I added a simple "citation needed" on a statement that was objectively false (can be proven by simply going to the vendor's landing page). The citation needed tag got reverted almost instantly and I was told that adding this tag was inappropriate and constituted sabotage. I never clicked that edit tab again.

The thing is, I don't blame the editor. He's high on the smell of his own farts. I blame wikipedia for enabling him. At least with stack overflow, they try to make fighting against this kind of corruption easier by making it's voting-based moderation system visible. Not wikipedia. It's opaque. It reminds me a lot of governments.

Anyway, I still notice false statements on wikipedia from time to time, but I always smirk to myself and carry on :)
Ah another fellow Miami resident. Moved here in 2018 and for the most part I don't regret it.

I agree with most of your sentiment, Miami (really all of Florida) has awful urban design up there with Texas and other "Modern" metropolis in the US and i95 is a bane on this earth. However if you are Latin there really isn't another place with as much variety and cultural presence like South Florida. I have met Colombians, Argentinians, Venezuelans, Cubans, and Nicaraguan all with prominent communities doted across the city and that isn't even including all the Caribbean ones like Jamaica, Puerto Rico, DR, Haiti, and the Bahamas.

I love the beaches and had a more pleasant time in the Hollywood and Hallandale areas that in LA / SF throughout the year. The food scene is amazing and there are plenty of places for entertainment like concerts, sports, theater, and even drag brunches. And look I get that it's overrated but Disney is really impressive but for adults without kids i highly recommend Universal Studios which IMO blew Disney out of the water with both Harry Potter and a more enjoyable selection of rides in general.

My biggest complaints are that a lot of people I meet are "Short-term" transplants and very few people consider the area an option for residency which is a shame when trying to make friends especially now since I am pretty much committed. I also very much dislike how flat and uninteresting the landscapes are especially when driving up to Orlando where the most interesting landmark is a bridge or cows on the side; I miss seeing mountains or rolling hills at the very least. Also despite having a very lively culture scene in general the museums leave a lot to be desired; there are a few hidden gems like the Dali Museum in Tampa (Largest collection of his works outside of Europe) and the Vizcaya (Great Gatsby-like massive mansion built by one of the richest men in the US during the 20s). Also local / state politics could put a lot of people off, especially considering the strong presence of the MAGA crowd.

This discounts the number of people who see manifest v3 and the neutering of adblockers as a dealbreaker, forcing them to switch away from Chrome. Now, when they try Firefox it’s as fast and stable as Chrome (which was not the case a few years ago, they’ve made great strides)

I’m hopeful that yields a nice bump in user ship. I was a diehard Firefox fan in the beginning, switched to chrome because it was just better on Mac for years, and now have switched back to running Firefox for 2 years without a hitch. The only thing I keep chrome around for is a dedicated Google Meet app

Yeah, that's not a component expiry date. This reads more like "fire a warning shot in November, and then fuck the operator over during Christmas".

I totally won't mind paying for the occasional article I open, if micropayments were a thing! Pay a quarter, read something worthy.

The problem is that micropayments are not interesting for most news outlets: the friction of current solutions is high, the resulting revenue stream, unsteady. Monthly / yearly subscriptions bring a better revenue stream, and cost way less.

If micropayments were indeed zero-friction, and effectively zero-cost, maybe they'd be (reluctantly) integrated.
