I can not describe how happy this makes me. Fuck Adobe. I will never forgive them for buying and killing Macromedia.
I've been there too, it turns out to be a battle of persistence.

I just kept the chat window open for 3 hours one afternoon while working, replying every 5 minutes that no, it wasn't acceptable, and I wouldn't pay anything. Slowly they started reducing the amount until they got to 0.

At points they got extremely aggressive, but from reading other people's stories online, that's just part of their training.
I work at a place with approximately 3 PMs for 6 developers and I wonder what they do all day. Totally absurd.
Not the OP but how about cheering for no one? Centralization of power leads to oppression - covid, hate crimes, centralized banking. Maybe you think these are worthwhile pursuits but they are designed to control.
They will be forced to now, isn't it? I am sure they wouldn't want to start from scratch. But have to admit, XD was nothing as compared to Figma right now.
Show HN: My Raycast Setup
But mosquito bites are painless... is this an article about itch control? Curious it has nothing to say about preventing bites which would carry mosquito borne diseases. The cure for mosquito bites is to not get them, and there are natural options for that.
I was previously on a team that was adjacent to the team that was working on this tool. While I'm not surprised to see this outcome a few years later, a lot of those involved early on thought it was a bad idea. Funny to see it in the wild.
I was hoping for at least 190% earnest.
Unifying Corroborative and Contributive Attributions in Large Language Models
I read a number of studies one time after a trip back home to Florida left me itching everywhere. Surprisingly, it seemed that the strongest evidence by far was for topical ammonia, with antihistamines, heat, cold, and other common remedies showing limited effectiveness. Ammonia is a rather unpleasant choice, but I've also found that Windex makes short work of cockroaches that laugh at Raid and the like.

From my experience, the best defense against mosquito itch is living in Florida -- you rapidly become resistant, and eventually the bites fade within a couple hours. However, this has other downsides.
I don't know if we "failed spectacularly"; Mitch is a fun guy to work for but he didn't really know what he wanted to build, so when he decided it was time to pull the plug, off we went.

We certainly had lots of people who wanted to come in to work and write software, and didn't have a ton of ego wrapped up in which direction to march. We just weren't clear on which direction to march.
the whole cheap/small web thing has me thinking of those people who buy used clothes but think nothing of paying $15 for a coffee at hipsterCafe. something virtue signally about it.

This reminds me that sometimes when the mashing of random numbers doesn't work, I'll repeat "OPERATOR! OPERATOR! OPERATOR!" at the machine until it yields. I guess it works by the same mechanism whereby the call audio is analyzed on the fly and if the algorithm determines the overlap with the corpus of terms at which it was trained is too low it will connect you to a human. Creepy if that's the case though.
Exactly what the EU wants you to believe..
“Sentenced to” or “confined”
Let's forget Europe and let's focus on the US market alone.

If we do the math, we have to ask - where would those 20 billion dollars come from that were to be paid by Adobe to Figma investors? I'm sure not from Adobe's coffers, their bean counters would place them onto subscription pricing with a time cap to recoup all that cost. For sure.

I would assume that regulators aren't unaware of that in the said markets (UK/Europe) and are not pro investor (few hundreds) rather pro consumers (millions)
Sure it is vulnerable to prompt injection, but the only one affected by it is the person doing the prompting. Outside of "haha look I made it say a funny thing" there is really no side effect and no disruption for regular users of the service.
Curious why you are referring to the termination fee as an investment, does Adobe get anything back in return for it?

Along those lines, maybe that would have been a better course of action in the first place, give Figma some money as an investor and own a piece of the upside as Figma grows, would probably have faced little or no regulatory resistance

I'm pretty sure Sam Walton didn't establish Walmart with the hope of being acquired.

It's bizarre that we live in a time where we can't even fathom a business that is fundamentally very profitable, we just envision growing the company until it's attractive enough for someone else to take on the unsustainable cost of running the business: either get acquired by a large company or hoist your debt onto the public market.

Investment really did used to be about more than a complex "greater fool" game.
I develop a similar project for Python, called marimo [1] [2]: marimo is an open-source reactive notebook for Python with built-in UI elements.

Our users use marimo to do traditional notebook work faster and with more confidence (computational experiments, data exploration), and also to build pipelines and apps: marimo notebooks can be run as Python scripts and seamlessly converted to apps.

We've designed marimo with devX in mind (pure Python file format, git-friendly, black formatting built-in, GitHub Copilot built-in, modularity coming soon ...).

Interesting to work through that

On its face, it's a tough sustainability position for an org of Mozilla's size b/c browser revenue - today - is from controlling the search bar (and maybe now payments APIs?). By making Firefox embeddable, Mozilla gives that revenue to whoever is doing the embedding. Ex: Brave <> Chrome engine.

Building for embedding developers can be super distracting if no sustainability, which isn't a problem for Google: They still make money from embedding by owning the embedding environments like Android. AFAICT, Mozilla failed to land in sizeable markets there. They tried to own & partner in the embedding envs -- e.g., FirefoxOS -- so maybe the trick is to get a more generous rev share for phone vendors wanting to break free of Google? Historically didn't seem to really work out, but maybe genAI w/ consumer/prosumer-grade UIs is reopening that door.

Evolutions like that in turn may take quite an engineering & culture rethink as well, not easy to turn such a big & decentralized ship. I'll keep rooting for them!
You can have all web sites look the same by setting reader view as default in your browser. It is a great improvement for browsing the web, both on desktop and phone.

If somebody invented a "forum view" to make all forums look the same on our browsers, then I think the circle would be complete. It shouldn't be too difficult either, since most run on similar software.
I wrote that the usage of PyTorch is much higher than bare cuda, not making a claim that one is better than the other.

Obviously you can use cuda to write more than ML algos, but that’s its overwhelming use case.

Thus my point is if AMD ported PyTorch to their hardware (and PT is not cuda-only) it would create a more level playing field on which they could compete (in a cousin vs cousin battle) by eliminating the switching cost for the majority of developers.

This is the same reason cpu mfrs have compiler ports but generally don’t have to worry about instruction set level compatibility.
Nice work! Very impressed.

Do you happen to know anything about any open source voice identification software?

I’ve noticed with ChatGPT voice and any other voice driven assistant that a massive problem is the background voices and noise. One solution could be advanced pre-processing to ID your voice only.

Another idea I’ve had is using something professional with PTT:

So the chatbots are going to program us to work with them, since we can't program them to work with us?

Agreed. I think if you’re passionate about an idea then you should be able to channel that energy into making it a sustainable business. If you can’t motivate yourself to do that… maybe let someone else who is motivated do it.
I wish I saw it the way others do apparently.

> On a side note, I can't help feeling sorry for the people that advocate for C over C++ when I see commits like https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3/commit/121575febe8aa1b544fbcb...

To be fair, I/O is a place where C++ really dropped the ball, too. The <iostream> part of the C++ library is unfortunately a complete mess. This is not really a “win” for C++ as much as it is a failure for both languages.

I think it is hard to advocate for either C or C++, for greenfield projects, these days.
Matt Taibbi also on the Twitter Files: thousands of lines, citations, and evidence about goverment directly and covertly asking Big Tech to censor content and people on all kinds of issues, keeping tabs on how that goes, threatening, and so on.

Author here! I largely agree with you.

I love Del Taco. I love the speed and consistency I get from franchises.

At the same time, my best friend recently sent me a picture of a fancy swordfish dish he cooked up, and I'm bummed that we don't get to see each other as often as we used to.

And as my daughter grows older, I'm becoming a bit frustrated at how difficult it is to purchase foods that were not doused in neurotic pesticides. So I'm learning how to grow our food.

Growing food isn't easy, but the farming community is cool, and I've been having a good time of it.

And so sometimes I wish building a website could be more like learning farming, and I think it could be.
The state of almost every single open source competitor to commercial software (in terms of UI, usability, effectiveness, and market share) suggests that maybe letting experts at programming software design all other aspects of software is not a panacea.

> people who shop at goodwill but think nothing of paying $15 for a coffee at hipsterCafe

I don't go in for fancy coffee with any regularity, but I do care a lot more about what goes in my body than what covers it, so I don't really see a contradiction here. Honestly, the older I get, things that may help my health (and I think there's a lot of "woo" there, but I think we can all agree that a decent restaurant is on average healthier than a McDonald's) are where I'm willing to spend money.
HNEWS went woke a few years ago. and for the woke hivemind it is ok to be xenophobic toward french or other western nations. but you should treat over countries like you treat children you pretend to care about but in reality you still retain most of the colonial spirit of the left that wanted to go to africa to bring enlightenment to those people.

Three Days of Advent of Code in Hurl
Actually i'm pro-EU but what we have in the past 15 years is brussels acting like a corporate, with careerist wannabes doing anything that sounds popular in order to climb up the corporate ladder. There is 0 politics in brussels these days, all lobbying. I think it's my duty to be critical of that
You're free to think whatever you want, just don't expect people to swallow the "EU = literal China" without commenting, especially if you admit of not knowing much about half of your statement. I have yet to see an argument being strengthened by the "it's literally china", "it's literally hitler", &c. techniques

> Adobe says the FTC is looking into its subscription cancellation practices

Great news, where do I testify? Adobe tried to bribe me personally to not fight their subscription cancellation policies for the company I was representing. Given how obviously unimpressed I was with the whole thing and how I was clearly not the target market of a creative cloud subscription, I can only assume that this is a policy that the sales rep tried to push, rather than a one-off they thought might work.

> in C++ you can of course always fall back to raw pointers for efficiency, while retaining well defined (e.g. class/scope based) lifetimes to avoid bugs.

This is certainly what I'd recommend wherever possible. It's OK to give Foo a reference to Bar as long as Foo is declared after Bar in some common scope, so will be destroyed first. If you find it's overly difficult to prove this relationship then you need to refactor your code or use some reference counting.

And then of course Rust actually checks the relationships for you.
I always go the opposite way — ice it down.
> Only socialized garbage dispossal works.

Absolutely. In Netherland, there's a general attitude that the polluter has to pay for it, which I generally agree with. The problem is that this means cities will charge money for garbage disposal, sometimes even locking trash containers so they can only be used by residents, but all of that just encourage people to dump their trash somewhere else.

Garbage collection has to be free. It's the only way it's going to work. If you're going to tax it, you need to tax it at the point of production, not the point of disposal. I'm all for a heavy tax on disposable single-use plastic packaging, for example. Encourage alternatives, don't encourage littering.
“Unilaterally” outlawed by elected governments who can be peacefully deposed, that is to say, not unilaterally at all.

You are right - it does seem to allow. But I'm not sure what you exactly mean after 20 minutes as well.
I have no data to back this up, but after living in NYC for 20 years, the locals litter much more than tourists/commuters.

It's easy to blame them (non locals) because they're not from here. IMHO it is a combination of culture/values and broken window theory (I know the criticism here).
> Adobe makes $17B a year in revenue, they would need some pretty strong growth out of Figma to justify the price tag especially after valuations came down.

That's not it works.

1. Adobe is at $19B in revenue

2. Adobe's market cap is $272B and just shy of its ATH.

3. Acquisitions, especially at this level, are usually paid with debt and equity, not just cash.

4. The proposed acquisition smells of both one for value (e.g. we buy you and we add $20B to our market cap...ok thats not exactly how it works, but that's the general ide) and one for defense (protect our existing market cap).

5. You have no idea what Figma's revenue and growth rates our (speculation says $400M rev). If you borrow at 10% interest to acquire the biz and the company is growing their profit annually at 20%, then Adobe can still net out in the long run. (again, not that simple, but illustrative is the point)

Could Adobe have overpaid given the timing? Absolutely.

Could Adobe have realized this and when it came time to go through anti-trust they just threw the b-team lawyers at it? Totally plausible.

> And if it was regulatory, then shouldn't those agencies come out and say "We blocked this, no go."

Not necessarily. Behind closed doors, they might have said "during our reviews with regulators we've been advised that the fight with regulators would be too risky and costly if we didn't succeed"
Maybe the announcement means "IPP Everywhere" instead of "IPP".

That is the extensions to IPP that adds network discovery (via multicast DNS) and 'driverless' printing (by mandating that prints support standard document formats). It probably also includes a standardised way for client to find out what paper sizes, duplex, quality, etc. settings the prints has.
It is as legally binding as you modifying the HTML of the sales page to show a lower price and taking a printout to court.
Maybe they are hampered by "doing the right thing" and only training on Adobe Stock content?

Firefly (Adobe's generative AI) works well if you're already stuck in a Photoshop-heavy workflow, for quick successive generations right in the canvas if you're editing or extending an existing image. Better than Stable Diffusion Photoshop plugins I've tried.

Sorry, that was a bit to snarky. While I don’t agree with not having dedicated QA, I completely agree with devs being responsible for the quality of their area and adjacent areas.

In my experience good test engineering teams can focus on having a more global view of systems while not being biased by implementation details.
