Perhaps that's because so many people who wanted to say "All Lives Matter" were terrified of saying it because... well, a small number of people used it abusively?
Indeed it doesn't seem to be a recession for the tech companies themselves, they're still raking in adverttising $$ or whatever.

But it's certainly a recession for tech workers.
I was with you until YouTube. I would say the educational value of YouTube with channels like 3Blue1Brown, Fermilab (Don), PBS Space Time, etc. makes it an educational resource second to none.

Sure there is a lot of garbage on YouTube, but it's fairly easy to avoid the dark alleys.
> That is completely false, you are simply attacking the straw men that 100 years of oversimplified critics of classical liberalism have set up.

I suggest you quickly take that up with the wikipedia page and several texts then.

Evolution of core beliefs

Drawing on ideas of Adam Smith, classical liberals believed that it is in the common interest that all individuals be able to secure their own economic self-interest.

you’re fine, thats not what you did but I’d much prefer that to the unquantified optimism people

many people, including engineers, are obsessed with looking for a silver lining when the reality is that I lost all my leverage and every new recruiter call is at least a month and a half from new money hitting my bank account, if everything goes perfectly.
Hi there! ParadeDB author here.

We don't believe AGPL should prevent you from self-hosting for your own internal usage. We see ourselves as becoming a Postgres-based Elasticsearch alternative, primarily used internally for observability, etc.

If you are interested in using ParadeDB to power your own product, or would prefer a different license, we'd love to hear from you. You can reach me directly at phil@paradedb.com.

We spent a lot of time evaluating which license to use, and decided to follow the footsteps of Citus Data and go with a standard OSS license while ensuring that we can't be hosted on public clouds without a partnership. Hope this helps!

Well, given that a good chunk of the audience is treating LLMs as the next step in human intelligence, you tend to be very critical, trying to prove to the other side this is not what they're claiming to be.
> Then they killed the whole industry while trying to set up a cacao OPEC, forgetting that it would be a lot easier for rich countries to just go without chocolate than to live without oil.

The rich countries didn't go without chocolate: other cacao producers were more than happy to pick up the slack and collect the extra profits.

OPEC is remarkable mostly as a rare example of a successful international cartel, and even then
its history is riven with constant squabbles, sales off the books etc, and these days it's a shadow of its former self because Russia and now the US (thanks fracking) don't play ball.
>That doesn’t seem like a good situation to me. So I don’t want Firefox to die even though it’s not my daily browser.

...so make it your daily browser?

Seriously, there's no reason at all to still be using Chrome. There was a dip in the mid/late 2010s where FF was a joke in comparison, but they're more or less identical in performance at this point.
It’s hard to imagine a survivable emergency landing that doesn’t also include hordes of ambulances and emergency personnel descending upon it.
I just spent a year and a half building and rolling out a web version of a popular native app. We had to make a lot of compromises to get it out the door.

Native apps can block screenshots. Apple doesn't always like it, but you can plead your case to the reviewers. Web apps don't have an API to prevent screenshotting or to know when one is about to be taken and hide their contents. This is important to protect privacy (nudes) and people have come to expect it.

Know what's interesting? Screenshot protection is available for Encrypted Media Extension (DRM) video if you have Hollywood $$$.

Browsers (on desktop) also have dev tools built in. They make it easy to download any image you can see even if we put all the right click prevention scripts and CSS hacks in the world in place. Imagine having to explain to the privacy protection team that you can't disable dev tools for your site when that's not even an issue on native mobile without extra steps.

Those are platform wide issues, and I seriously doubt the people setting web standards are going to be on board with new standards that keep information (even very, very personal information) from being free.

I've championed the web since 1996. And PWAs may be fine to replace some basic e-commerce and information apps. But the platform needs to make some changes before it can totally replace native apps.
This might be poor framing. Maybe its for a job well done. A big reason for google funding is fears of monopoly lawsuits. From this perspective a firefox fewer people use is a good thing.

Most of them are men with old fashioned attitudes towards snakes who aren't as young and spry as they used to be, who fuck with the snakes and get rewarded with a bite.

Rattlesnakes are perhaps the most courteous of all venomous snakes; they are named for their instinctual habit of making a lot of noise to warn you away. Unfortunately their rattling often gets them killed by ignorant people (particularly those old people) and so some populations of rattlesnakes are now less inclined to rattle. This puts humans at greater risk, so particularly in the case of rattlesnakes you should leave them alone.

If you step on one that didn't rattle and you kill it after getting bitten then I could forgive you, but killing any random rattlesnake you happen across is an asshole move.
> Technically, the RTX 4060 also has a 16GB version available ($450)

The article talks about the 16 GB variant of the RTX 4060 Ti for that price but I think the actual 4060 only has the single 8 GB variant.

If you look more charitably on the present: "budget" is iGPUs in newer CPUs now being good enough we're back to no longer need a dedicated GPU to play current games comfortably at low-mid again. The less fun part of the present is really the price ceiling going way higher if you want to have the best.
>Firefox and Safari are the only two things keeping Chrome from total dominance.

Safari yes, but truthfully nobody gives a damn about Firefox at this point.

>A lot of people don’t like Safari because it’s from Apple, the priorities they choose, or the fact that is not fully open source like Firefox is.

"A lot" meaning a minority of a minority of people. Lest we forget, iOS is superior to Android in at least the US and Japan, and MacOS continues to gain market share at the cost of Windows.

Most people like (or at least want) Apple.

If there was a fixed number of shoes, then shoes would probably be made the way housing is made. And indeed, getting good shoes was hard before the industrial revolution, which made making new shoes a lot easier.
AFAIK, they are refusing to implement BLE in Firefox(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674737) saying that, "implementing it is harmful to the web."

Pretty hard to have a PWA future, if you can't access standard app APIs.

Seems like it would require a big mindset change for Mozilla to get on board with PWAs.
So out of curiosity i downloaded the code from github, built it and tried it. The default site is still dillo.org which crashed the browser when it tried to visit it. Same with duckduckgo.com (crashed). Actually the crash seems to be related to some assert failure with OpenSSL as recompiling Dillo with mbedSSL lets me visit these sites.

I tried to login and reply to this thread but for some reason it wouldn't login (no error or anything, after entering my username and password and clicking login, i'd remained logged out).
I don't care about ethics nor being an asshole. Curious what remaining methods of shame are incoming.
Yes.

And beyond this intuition (escape from local optima), the reason that annealing matters is that you can show that (under conditions) with the right annealing schedule (it's rather slow, T ~ 1/log(Nepoch) iirc?) you will converge to the global optimum.

I'm not well-versed enough to recall the conditions, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are quite restrictive, and/or hard to implement (e.g., with no explicit annealing guidance to choose a specific temperature).

We need far more data to say this with certainty. This data is from only 3.8 million miles, in carefully controlled conditions with brand new high quality vehicles.

Besides this comes from Waymo, they didn't release the data used in their study.

Of course Waymo will try to paint their cars in the most favourable light possible. Maybe they are being honest, but that's not the point. The point is that public policy shouldn't trust the allegations of a private company at face value.

> Alec Baldwin was shot and killed by a "prop" gun

Minor correction: Alec Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and injured director Joel Souza. Baldwin himself wasn't harmed.
Technical: Wanna contribute to OSS projects more - feels like the best community service with technical skills. Also want to get the OSCP cert as it’s been a fun goal of mine to have the skills of a pen tester, but that’s a stretch. Have also had thoughts on starting a grassroots sort of push to use privacy based tools, as current tools don’t feel like tech illiterate people have a reason to use them, but that’s just a soft plan for now.
Non Technical: Make more music, spend more time with family and friends. Less video games. Oh and exercise as usual.
> Alec Baldwin was shot and killed by a "prop" gun

Alec Baldwin is alive and well and is the guy who shot someone with a REAL gun, which had nothing to do with anyone’s lunch breaks.
Yet, in bold, it's stated as required. *rolls eyes*
> They found that a solid sphere, weighing 20kg [...] at about four times the speed of sound [...] 25 megajoules.

For comparison, the projectile from a US M829 tank round [0] involves a spike with a mass of 4.6kg traveling at an (initial) speed of mach 4.59, or around 5.70 megajoules. The propellant and all the other stuff which stays behind brings that up to 18.6kg.

I assume this cannonball's dramatically higher projectile-mass is needed in order to make up for accuracy, so that a glancing hit still rattles everything enough to make a difference.

It's basically why Apple sabotage safari so hard to the point that 'doing anything more than a static page on safari requires tons of workarounds'. (And also why you can only use webkit on iphone)
In other words, sly as a fox.
Just tried it out on my Macbook. It's pretty easy to use and the experience was great! The generation speed for was really fast.
Others provided good advice about technically doing it.

A note in terms of the project goals:

Make sure to remember when interpreting your results that your findings will only apply to similarly sized models as what you trained.

So you'll have found the differences between using Reddit vs Wikipedia for a 7B model (or whatever size you go with) and those results shouldn't be assumed to extrapolate to larger models.
Look, if I can make seven million god damn greenbacks while claiming to be the leader of the free peoples but actually doing nothing or maybe even something to subvert them, I will call myself a genius.
It's all about perspective. If your purpose is to make yourself millions without producing anything beneficial to the world...it's genius.
I don’t want to complain too much since it’s an out of context exert. But this article gets lost in the analogy. Given the source though, I think the “cheap shoe” that they’re longing for is apartment buildings. Houses are considered high end not because the construction is actually good, but the land use.
> There are basically three rendering engines right now

Genially curious, which ones? I only know two:

1) khtml based - Chrome/Edge/Safari
2) Gecko based - Firefox

Third would be Servo? Any browser uses it?
Your post is my point. Or rather, your post proves my point.

I think bringing RocksDB into Postgres as a Table access method would really be a powerful feature, as an alternative to heap
IMHO, there was not even enough data to draw this conclusion from the study. 3.8 million miles looks like a lot, but it is laughable for traffic safety conclusions.

And of course Waymo is going to milk as much as possible from their study, we just shouldn't trust it blindly.
If I could visit one page that just had a directory of websites like this, I’d have the Web I always dreamed it would be.
Mozilla doesn't need any Mastadon instance. They need to stop pretending to be a social media company and focus all their resources on browser development.

Their only reason for being involved in social media in the first place is because it gives them a plaything for their forays into censorship and narrative engineering. This is one aspect of the cancer Mitchell Baker has been cultivating in Mozilla
I doubt browsers are coming back.

Companies love apps. They get complete control over what you do(No easy way of viewing source, no modifying the frontend etc) and they can suck up all your data.

Plus browsers are are lagging in terms of say animations and probably always will with the need to build consensus before a new ideas is added. Then adoption can take years.
They can ask on social networks, subscribe to newsletters, watch videos. I don't recall Hotmail or ICQ or Firefox needing an app store for people to find out about them.
You are forgetting Edge.

>That doesn’t seem like a good situation to me.

Nothing is stopping alternate rendering engines from being created, but if the alternates are not better and not worth integrating with a browser the resources might be better spent being invested in the most popular one that way it improves the web for the most people.
Amazing post

You could take some responsibility for this, yourself.
Sure, Dillo in a sandbox is a big improvement over Dillo not in a sandbox (don’t forget an isolated X instance when you’re doing bubblewrap, ’cause FLTK 1.3 doesn’t support Wayland). I’d still feel more comfortable with mainstream browsers (and yes, they can handle many tabs on a still-small amount of memory).
By listening to the context in which they are said. The Wikipedia quotes were simply to reaffirm the context in which both phrases are most likely to be used in. “All lives matter” is most likely to be used as a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement. While “From the river to the sea” is most likely to be used in the context of Palestinian Liberation (sorry I’m repeating my self).
It’s Safari doing it by way of iOS. If you remove that, neither Safari nor Firefox make much of a dent.
I can't say the same if you think Musk is the only conversation topic of merit. It is not only restrictive, but boring and has been beaten to death
Looks nice! Do you know if they can do table structuring as well? Something similar to what Amazon Textract does[0].

> HTML/JS is a bastard to parse.

Parsing is a tiny fraction of the time that a Web browser spends, and the various native resources are on the same level of complexity. TrueType hinting instructions from the 90s are of a similar complexity to the HTML 5 parsing spec.

> Go and fire up a windows 95 box, with 133mhx of pentium III goodness. THen make a VB6 app that animates boxes/shows images.

This will easily run at the same framerate on a modern Web rendering stack.

> Or, more easily, render a web page on the original raspberry pi-b, try and play video in a browser, do some sort of animation.

Browsers on the Raspberry Pi B weren't accelerated, due to various reasons including Broadcom having (at the time) the worst GPU driver situation imaginable. You should compare against modern accelerated browsers (by "modern" meaning "within the last 20 years on mainstream OS's").

> It lags like a fucker. Use py-game (you know python with its 50% "what fucking type is this?" tax) and you can run animations at 60fps.

Web apps have been able to run animations at 60 FPS for decades. (As an aside, the performance difference between CPython and native code is far more than 50%.)
> The US President has pledged unwavering support for Israel, a state currently engaged in genocide

No. There are many Arab countries all over the world, they are safe from Israel, Israel does not want to destroy all arabs in the same way that people want to destroy all Jews.

20% of Israel's population is Arab, there are 400 mosques as most Arabs are muslims, every sign in translated into Arabic then English, and Israeli Arabs have the same rights as Israeli Jews - to healthcare, to vote, to worship who they please, to be safe from sectarian violence, to be elected to parliament. Ask anyone in Tel Aviv and they'll tell you the best hummus isn't in Tel Aviv, but next door in Jafo at Abu Hassan. Arabs in Israel have better lives than Arabs in any Arabic country - compare Israel with say Saudi, where arabs don't have the right to vote, or Gaza where gay people are executed.

Arabs in remaining parts of the British mandate (outside Israel and Jordan, ie West Bank and Gaza) started referring to themselves as Palestinian in the 1960 - before then they were simply arabs. Philistines are Greek so obviously arabs are not Philistines. But if you think Palestinian is a genus of people, we can entertain the concept - the population of Gaza has increased 10 fold over the last few years, and Gaza has been left alone since Israel left the country and gave it a 300M/year flower export business in 2005.

> has vetoed efforts by other countries to call for a humanitarian ceasefire

Most of those called for by the UN allow Hamas to keep the Jewish people they are storing in tunnels. There would be a ceasefire right now if Hamas gave back 40 hostages as requested last week.
Their methodology is here: https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_definition

A lot of it is highly suspect in my opinion. First off, they don't specifically say how they consider Postgres for some of their factors. E.g. in their "Mentions on system websites" section they say

> In order to count only relevant results, we are searching for <system name> together with the term database, e.g. "Oracle" and "database".

But I'd expect Postgres mentions to be split a lot between "Postgres" and "Postgresql", and it's not clear they included both terms.

More importantly, the vast majority of these factors are trailing indicators. Even if no same person would use Oracle for a new installation, their existing giant (and very difficult to migrate) install base means you'll see tons of Oracle mentions in LinkedIn profiles and job reqs for decades.
Making firefox your daily browser would do a lot for making sure it doesn't die...
Oddly, both can be true:

Before capitalism, most people did not work very long hours at all. The tempo of life was slow, even leisurely; the pace of work relaxed. Our ancestors may not have been rich, but they had an abundance of leisure.

( from your link )

Pre capitalist rural life was relaxed, relatively easy going, and steady constant work through the seasons.

Not an eighty hour grind at machines doing the same repitative labour, but a paced life always pottering away at something, interspersed with occasional grinds of ploughing, seeding, harvest, birthing, etc (relatively short burst but long hours of activity)

I can attest to this from my father (still alive, born 1935 to a farming for survival family), grandfather and various other old people I've spoken to growing up.

It's a different type of life, not rushed but steady.

To be fair, I'm Australian and we've had the eight hour day codified in law and set as the benchmark for a minimum wage (pay for (5 or 6) eight hour days must clothe, feed, and house a family) since Federation (birth of the seperate nation) under the Harvester Agreement.
