> I always see comments like this on HN, and I struggle to understand why.

I think its OSX and Windows people talking past each other.

On a Mac, Firefox is pale in comparison to Safari.
I get the impression you didn't bother reading the article.

Your two examples are flawed and don't address what the article is saying. The algorithm to check for copyright violations is relatively simple and dumb. Speed cameras: many countries do use speed cameras (i.e. Australia, UK). The problem with speed cameras is that once you know where they are, you simply slow down when approaching.

Again, mass vs. targeted surveillance is irrelevant now. You've already been surveilled. It's just a matter of getting access to the information.
I was thinking maybe 4:3 panels might be hard to come by today, but looking on amazon, they seem to be available, so ya. Might be neat if they had a built in CRT "filter", like running it through a raspberry pi with one of those CRT emulators or maybe FPGA to automatically give it more of a CRT feel.
the fact that you're in high school is incredible. keep it up!
The current state of affairs re encryption is an accident of history that I would bet doesn’t last much longer once Apple gets formally involved.

“Apple says it won't be supporting any proprietary extensions that seek to add encryption on top of RCS and hopes, instead, to work with the GSM Association to add encryption to the standard.”

Don’t feel bad - it’s not especially obvious. I only thought about it because I’m already familiar with the project.
Only one to my knowledge; the OP is an interpreter.
iMessage is not free insofar as one much purchase an iPhone to use it.
making a CRT factory today would be extremely challenging. Only the retro video game market wants these things, and the lead requirements for the glass are considerable.

not worth the hassle. probably not even possible within a 1st world nation because of the environmental impact.
Neither has Our Next Energy. There is no news here.
To the downvoters: tell us what you think instead of trying to get an opinion contrary to your own greyed out. Is it just that I mention undesirable person #1 which caught your ire, is it that you do not think a fork would be a good idea, is it because you do not agree that Mozilla has been abused by Baker? Discuss, do not just click that down-vote button.

If humanity kills itself, we're definitely taking the rest of the apes with us.
My main glimmer of hope is that Google has started selling Voice as a hosted VoIP enterprise solution[1] recently, showing that they are doing _something_ with the technology... even if the consumer offering is languishing.

> They can match me with my DNA if they already have complete knowledge of my family structure and all their DNA.

Or just a part of it, which is the point: no, complete knowledge isn't required here.
I really love this!

A couple of suggestions for usability improvements:

1. Drag handling is buggy when I accidentally move the mouse outside of a box and then release. In that case it doesn't notice a mouse-up and the parameter gets stuck in the mouse-down state. Makes it difficult to draw in the leaf editor or to modify parameters by dragging them like sliders. Probably just need to register the mouse-up event handler on a common ancestor instead of the graph node editor boxes.

2. The little parameter "port" circles for dragging connections are a bit small, especially when zoomed out where you can see a significant portion of the whole scene. Usability would be improved by making them bigger (at least 25%?). It might just be the hit area that needs to be larger, not necessarily the graphical element.

Note: I'm using Firefox. Just tested in chromium and the mouse handler problem happens there as well but dragging to connect nodes seems a bit more usable in chromium.
It's passenger train. No more "critical national infrastructure" than city bus.
Firefox letting go of many important teams such as MDN, Rust etc was its death knell in developer community.

Mitchell Baker will surely get a golden parachute even if Firefox is sold for scraps.
A computer owned society doesn't really need jails. You can deny 90% of services to a criminal and track and limit their movement digitally.

We are already in the jail.
For me, different programming languages are like different genres of writing or music, but don't provoke any meatspace synaesthesia.
Understandable. I do think knowing how to play paper magic leads to a better understanding of the game but being a spike isn’t everyone’s goal.
Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately my recent experience has been that both recruiters and interviewers are more interested in LeetCode than in any public portfolio demonstrating the ability to ship correct, reliable code to tens of thousands of users across the world.
How does moving some physical switches to a touchscreen (or a multi-switch) make a Tesla a toy?

I'm quite familiar the argument, but my personal experience in a Model 3 (and subsequently a Mercedes) suggests that an overabundance of geegaws is nothing so much as a crib mobile for upright adults.
This is a reason why it was detected a year later - the train service was delayed and it spent late November and whole December in service. So the "expiration" intended for 2021 only manifested in 2022.
Why would a percentage based tax cause the opposite effect?

A flat tax does not make sense to me. It would have the least effect on the most expensive items, which is what you want to be most repairable. The more expensive the product, the more repairable it should be.
Only the statistics you see in the prompt (which are clearly limited). I have a lot of ideas about how you could improve that context (most likely letting the AI record and track notes throughout a draft), but this one was relatively simple to implement. Definitely room for improvement!
That is one SOLID example of what could go wrong.

It’s similar to the Office of Personnel Management data breach when every Federal
Employee was just 0wn3d. It included 21.5 million background investigations into people and the personnel files of every federal employee and most contractors.

Just slightly sensitive stuff. Nobody knows how many people died as a result of the hack, but I’m sure it was non-trivial because a LOT of people got surprised doxed.

This information is still rattling around out there and will have implications for generations.

Imagine if the same could be done for demographics based on genetics — the risk factors for medical conditions, the ethnic ties you’re talking about, etc.

It’s weighty stuff.
AFAIK there aren't any CRTs being manufactured anywhere on Earth anymore.

It's been kinda wild seeing them go from basically free to sought after in the past few years. Real time supply and demand in action, kids
Did you miss the skip button, or hover your cursor over why they ask for the information?

The website is of a university, not Facebook. I doubt overworked/underpaid researchers have any interest in tracking people.
I assume that tracert using ICMP is not that much an WinSock limitation but limitation of the underlying NT security architecture without suid binaries, which was worked around with ICMP-only non-privileged “raw sockets”. But that is mostly an educated guess.
oh yeah, and this esbuild keepNames nonsense has lost me some hair.
This is handy to know, thanks. I was just trying out Common Voice a few days ago.

They have a good example of a community page for folks wanting to help with a particular language.

I was just thinking today that Firefox is worthy of switching back to because it was so fast,except I hadn't had a chance to do it.

If anyone else thinks it's important for there to be an independent browser dedicated to privacy and security (and independence), they could as many casual browser switchers. I'm happy to be back on a few FF extension that didn't work quite the same on any chrome based browser.
AT&T's monopoly was definitely government-granted: there was even a law forbidding users to install their own 3rd party telephone receiver "to protect the AT&T network"!

I am not familiar with the other 2 cases but I wouldn't be surprised if it was, again, government-granted or not an actual monopoly. Think about it, it's logical: why wouldn't competing startups attack a monopolized market? It's ripe for disruption, after all.

Monopolies can arise on the free market but unfettered competition will always defeat them.
Features. Be as good as chrome and id use it.
> I find it naive to believe that the purpose of a for profit organization is anything but making profit.

Where did I imply that Meta is doing it out of the kindness of their heart? Of course they want money and of course they think this "open" approach will lead to more money. That doesn't change the fact that as an individual right now my opinions on regulating AI are more aligned with Meta's philosophy than Google and OpenAI. Both of which are equally doing this for their own profit.
One phenomenon I've recently clued into is that of the "market-hostile business".

Not only old businesses, watch Peter Thiel's "competition is for losers":

Might it have been Oakflat Nuclear Power Plant Simulator[1] you're thinking of? I'm not aware of a version that ran on the DEC but it might very well have existed and it sounds quite similar. I can certainly credit it for developing my unhealthy fascination with nuclear power. Also perhaps my unhealthy tendency to push buttons and see what happens!

Agreed, we had decentralized before the Satoshi paper, things like email

Blockchain in practice seems to be highly concentrated and often centralized, depending on the project
For some reason I thought fine tuning is not possible without specialized hardware (A100 / H100). Where can I learn more about hardware requirements for fine tuning on consumer GPUs?
But you don't need to do a random subset with AI. You can summarize everything, and summarize the summaries and so on.

I will say that at least gpt4 and gpt3, after many rounds of summaries, tends to flatten everything out into useless "blah". I tried this with summarizing school board meetings and it's just really bad at picking out important information -- it just lacks the specific context required to make summaries useful.

A seemingly bland conversation about meeting your friend Molly could mean something very different in certain contexts, and I'm just trying to imagine the prompt engineering and fine tuning required to get it to know about every possible context a conversation could be happening in that alters the meaning of the conversation.
Windows Phone Link does support iMessage now.
This is exactly it. On-prem deals were generally large perpetual license fees based on some quantity of software installed, and then a % of that as an annual "maintenance" fee which would provide access to support and software updates.

The problem was that the maintenance revenue was valued at a much higher multiple by investors than their Perpetual Licensing revenue because it was recurring. Cue the thought... "What if the whole thing was recurring?"..."Hmm how could we justify that?"..."We make it a SERVICE that WE host!"... and then here we are now where if you want to actually own software, chances are you're out of luck.
But it is possible to provide some health care to all. Which is a better situation than some with excellent and many with zero.
To the contrary, it's the only consistent application of either. If socialism is when the the means of production are controlled by the workers, then is it really socialism if a government is the one controlling those means, merely on "behalf" of the workers?

Likewise, there is inevitably a hierarchy between those that control the means of production and those that don't, creating rulers in any system that grants exclusive ownership of those means to individuals. Thus you cannot have anarchy ("an-": without "archy": rulers) without socialism.

Most anarchist movements in history have been socialist: the CNT in Spain, the Anarchists in the US who played a major role in the labor struggle around the turn of the 20th century, the Black Army in revolutionary Russia.
Ehh yeah the prospect of using such patching software doesn't appeal, and I don't want to run the risk that games work poorly or not at all even with that kind of fiddling (which is something I abhor about Linux, so why would I want it on my expensive and supposedly superior Macbook).
Dodicifit
You're right and it did get used for that. Unfortunately that's nowhere large enough a use case to support the entire product/business/r&d.
I've been a beeper user for a while now. I, too, share this concern. There's no way Apple won't try to kill this somehow.
You can also revert the revert a few times, that requires arbitration usually.
Surely it's hurting?

It doesn’t matter if it got bought because it’s indelibly available forever now. It’s now available to someone who shouldn’t have it whenever they come around with the intent to misuse it.

And the choice to share or protect this information just got taken away from every one of their customers forever.
This is cool and takes me back to one of the first cool sim games I ever played as a child. Muse software's Three Mile Island for the Apple II. Mastery of this sim was an amazing feeling at the time.

There are update logs of the train software. Because of them it is known that workers of the company literally snuck into waiting trains and updated the software without the owners knowing. So really, but far from that.
more likely to commit crime

Crimes that we deem should be enforced maybe. Wealthy white collar people do plenty of recreation drugs (coke, weed, X), commit financial crimes, etc.
0.8 milligrams of 6-MSITC and 14% higher than the placebo group is really good effect.
After the recent elections that might not be the safest thing to say if you wanted to avoid litigation. PiS didn't do so well and lost their majority and is likely to end up in the opposition.
Is Shoplifting Really Surging?
that's an interesting point to consider. I wonder what would have happened had they not done it? Would it have accelerated the decline? Or would it have been enough to get services not to use DRM? I'm not sure, but I think FF may have just dropped to irrelevancy faster had they not done it.
Yea, during the dark ages of toxic Wikipedia editors, I had ample of citations to split apart "Deaf" (ethnocentric label) from "Deafness" (culture) and "Hearing-Loss" (medical) not to mention the toxic ableism of "Hearing Impaired" (former medical), it was nothing but a browbeating, deletion of my Wiki drafts, and reversion of my hard and diligent efforts.

About 20 years later, some 240 Deaf wikipedia editors finally led a revolt: first to fall is "hearing impaired" (ablist slang), of which many governments/civic/businesses are now moving away from.

We are almost there.
Whats wrong with WhatsApp?
The emulators can be pretty good, but for people looking for the nostalgia, it might not really cut it. It doesn't fully send you back to your childhood, so if you have money to spend on this, and are passionate about it, it actually makes sense to get the full experience.

It's not too different from wanting to experience old music in vinyl rather than digital.
Well, it works, and works extremely well. I'll be paying for this, simply because group chats are currently hell.
There should be a traceroute protocol whereby a "specially marked packet" is understood to be traceroute, and generates an ICMP response even though its TTL is still positive. The ICMP response will carry the observed TTL value.

Then one packet will get all the echoes in one go instead of having to send a tirade of packets with increasing TTL values.
Using the full context window each time is a great way to ensure your app is slow, expensive, and in-accurate. RAG is crucial, anyone thats built an AI app knows.
Where does the amendment define income?
Proposed EU regs... I'd bet it'll be years till it is truly an open platform, and even then, they may restrict the openness to the EU only.
Because this is so depressing I am going to try think of positive aspects:

The flip side to this is the government had power because these activities required enormous resources. Perhaps it will go the other direction, if there is less of a moat other players can enter. Eg all it takes to make a state is a bunch of cheap drones and the latest government bot according to your philosophy.

Maybe it means government will massively shrink in personelle?
Maybe we can have a completely open source ai government/legal system. Lawyers kind of suck ethically anyway, so maybe it would be better?
With low barrier to entry, we can rapidly prototype such governments and trial them on smaller populations like iceland. Such utopias will be so good everyone will move there.

They still have to have physical prisons, if everyone is in prison this will be silly, but I suppose they can fine everyone, not so different from lowering wages which they already do.
I don't disagree with what you say, but I would be surprised if it was any sort of secret sauce and not "just" an incredible amount of grinding, the seemingly zero-cost energy reservoir you can tap into as a young adult if you really like what you're doing and possibly an enlightened parent or a role model.
I would love it for some kickstarters to lean into what this product is actually selling: the retro design.

Seriously: build this, but shaped like a Lear ADM-3A ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A ) , and TAKE MY MONEY.

... or just introduce the set designers from "Loki" and "Starfield" to the supply people at Restoration Hardware. That's what I want in my nerdCave.
I don’t want to say that we’ll never see big architecture changes again but I think a company like Sony would want more confidence that they’d get real advantages. Cell wasn’t just unpopular with developers but also never delivered compelling performance; I suspect if they’d had a PC CPU and a Blu-ray player at the same price it would’ve sold identically.

Anyone trying this needs to figure out a decade-long schedule with points where something would be worth using for some reason so they don’t have to run the whole thing in a vacuum hoping it’ll be worth it at the end.
Did you actually beat the TiVo Slide remote to market? I'm sure you know it, but for those who don't, look it up - backlit remote with the usual TiVo buttons on top, but the whole top slid (much like the HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1) to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. Given how slow the non-graphics related hardware in TiVo's STB's was, this was much faster than trying to peck out one letter at a time on their onscreen keyboard.

I was very unhappy when my wife dropped and broke ours, but doubly so because they had been discontinued by then.
Idea of centralized and universal interpenetration of information soon or later bump into boundaries. By definition, it's impossible approach. Interpretation vary with knowledge, culture and is shaped by politics, religion, regime, etc.
There is not a lot of great content out there making this clear, but basically all that matters for basic fine tuning is how much VRAM you have -- since the 3090 / 4090 have 24GB VRAM they're both pretty decent fine tuning chips. I think you could probably fine-tune a model up to ~13B parameters on one of them with PEFT (https://github.com/huggingface/peft)
I have too many domains.
I see amus.ing available on the lower side of prices.
We could simple put an input for each part of the address and let the user fill it out.

Requires exactly zero lines of javascript, no third party api that may or may not work.
I said this a ways back in another thread, but I think over the next 10 years or so, we’re going to find out exactly how much of the tech sector was built on the back of absurdly low interest rates making money basically free. Just borrowing and borrowing and borrowing over and over gesturing vaguely to the concept of “behavioral data” in the ethereal future and how you’ll make it all back advertising mattresses and food subscription boxes.
The government cured an incurable disease in a year and gave away its cure to its biggest enemies for free and people are still acting like the government is bad and oppressive. It really shuts down good dialogue when “the government” is demonized beyond all reason.
But you can minimize the circumstances that made gentrification desirable (to those doing the gentrification) in the first place.

That's assuming gentrification isn't desirable. I'd tend to agree in general, but there's definitely some nuance there.
While this is true, I don't think we are there yet with AI since its usually more expensive to run AI models than it is to perform more traditional statistical modelling.
Flat taxes drive out the cheaper, lower quality items. Percentage taxes make the more expensive items even less affordable, and often drives people to lower quality items.

> the language has to be designed to handle redefinition correctly.

I believe it's more a question of how easy the redefinition is to implement. You can live-update a running Java or C programs, it's just less convenient/harder to pull off than with Forth, Smalltalk, Lisp, Prolog, and the like. So I think that yes, in principle, every language could have it - it's just that you'd need a huge pile of hacks for some and a few simple instructions for others to get it.
Why nobody worries? Because this is an elite person problem.

At the end of the day, all those surveillance still has to be consumed by a person and only around 10,000 people in this world (celebs, hot women, politicians and wealthy) will be surveilled.

For most of HN crowd (upper middle-class, suburban family) who have zero problems in their life must create imaginary problems of privacy / surveillance like this. But reality is, even if they put all their private data on a website, heresallmyprivatedata.com, nobody cares. It'll have 0 external views.

So, for HN crowd (the ones who live in a democratic society) it's just an outlet so that they too can say they are victimized. Rest of the Western world doesn't care (and rightly so)
I don't mean to ask a crass question, but is the project potentially abandoned? It certainly still gets issues but hasn't received updates for a long time.
People won't even switch from chrome to firefox. The apathy is revolting.
I read the whole article but didn't learn anything new or interesting. Why Spotify is screwed? I thought the music labels have leverage to squeeze Spotify or something like that but the entire article is just stating what has happened with the recent layoffs and financial statements
>Exactly. Any driver can put you at risk. Nothing to do with Tesla.

Well, to the extent it is caused by a Tesla, it absolutely has something to do with Tesla. I don't get to smash into a car because a drunk driver would. Why should a Tesla? It's a bit disingenuous to "put it on the driver" when the driver isn't driving because he's using Tesla's self-driving software.

The Cost of Burgers at Five Guys vs. in N Out in San Diego, CA
Came to the comments to make sure someone was recommending these books. An incredibly enjoyable read.
Do they say what the resolution of the panel is? The main thing that would be interesting is if it was a super high res panel that could accommodate many lower resolutions cleanly with scaling. Like the Analog Pocket for example.
