My belief is it is unfounded and ultimately based in narcissism.
"I am so important that I create the external reality, I really am
the center of the universe, it wouldn't exist without my mind"
It's an appeal to self-importance.

It can't account for something like the fossil record, that existed
before any human was on the planet; other than to say, "I dreamed
that up in my own special imaginary fiction!!"

Perhaps the primal nature of the world isn't physical matter, but
to pretend that we create reality with our mind, is not only silly,
it's dangerous and flies in the face of how everyone, even those
who claim to believe otherwise, actually act in the world.
We can stop it but how long will it take to dwindle their supplies?

this. i was very close to consider buying a a laptop with a soldered SSD because low weight is a critical feature for me , but then i realized that a similar model with replaceable SSD almost had the same low weight, and so i chose that, and i am glad i did. only a year later i needed to replace the SSD with one twice as large. worse. the old SSD also showed signs of failing for unknown reasons.

warranty would probably have covered it, but getting that would have been a hassle and without a working laptop until it was fixed, and i needed more space anyways. i'd rather have warranty on individual components that are expensive (like the motherboard) and spend some money to replace smaller parts than waiting for a fix.
Noted in my other comment, but mentioned here as well:

- Exposure to a strain is not the same as exposure to all strains. Few are likely to have been infected with all of the strains that the vaccine protects against, and infection by multiple strains is not a rare event.

- There's research being done on if the vaccine can reduce symptoms to people who already have HPV. Early results seem promising. Certainly nothing large enough for the CDC to be making recommendations on yet (that I know of/could find from a quick search), but worth noting - there may well turn out to be a significant benefit to the vaccine even after exposure, we just seem to be relatively early in that research.

> Farace forfeited just 24 Bitcoin in 2020, claiming that he no longer had access to additional funds. But while incarcerated in 2020, Ryan Farace instructed his father Joseph to transfer 2,874 Bitcoin to a third party accomplice to move the funds out of the United States. The pair admitted such actions in their plea agreements. Ryan was indicted for the charges in 2021.

> Ultimately, Ryan Farace was sentenced to an additional 54 months in federal prison on January 5, while Joseph Farace was sentenced to 19 months in federal prison on January 8, with two years of supervised release to follow.

I'm sure that's all of it /s.

How long will he remain under the watchful eye of the US government?
I have been looking for something like this! I noticed you suggest setting the ollama host as a variable (I personally run ollama on a beefier desktop and query remotely), hopefully that will translate over to the options page as well (I noticed the options page seems to have the ollama host hardcoded, though https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos/pull/34/files#diff-83...)
Great run.

They're gonna have trouble justifying buying the extended warranty next time.
Most people can probably survive just fine with no printer and just rely on Libraries, Staples, FedEx, UPS, etc.
The HTTP client is provided as an EFI driver by the UEFI. AFAICT the UEFI spec doesn't specifically say what the behavior should be if the content-length header doesn't match the response body length, so it might very well be possible that some implementations just make `connection:close` requests and don't check the content length.

The vulnerability was reported by MSRC and none of the text about the CVE mentions an actual exploit. It might be revealed later, or it might just be theoretical.
Probably better than hallucinating a wrong answer if it's stumped

Since apps are still subject to Apple’s review process even on third-party app stores, they are likely to reject this because it obviously circumvents the new business terms (if it doesn’t violate them outright).
Well, only deluded beings (including myself) act that way. Buddhas and bodhisattvas don’t. Indeed they can bend so called “physical reality” to their will, manifesting physical bodies and appearances in the minds of others. It’s just simply the following: form is emptiness, emptiness is form
I meant to reply to the top-level comment about YouTube.
Exactly, they're conflating choice with complexity. As you said, you can have any level of control, via various permission levels.

I think what would be helpful if there was a concept of a "system admin" profile that you could apply onto any device/computer. Non-technical users may want Apple to be the 'sysadmin' and only use the Apple store, use Apple recommended apps, etc. - Kinda like the an MDM profile.

Any other vendor, as a paid/managed service, could supply a more permissive app store, and manage updates, etc. Companies who issue work devices would have their own "profile" to manage the device.
I think the “bi-stable” part of this somewhat addresses this, it’s designed to snap into either a tall or flat configuration, so it should at least be harder to distort than a freely moving version would be.
I bought a used Lexmark MX611dhe for a 100€. I think it satisfies all the things above. I'd say look out for used office printers.

I'd give this very low chances of being relevant. robots.txt overall works because both sides benefit - the author gets to say what shouldn't get indexed, but the search engine also gets to skip things that are not worth indexing / spending time on.

For this option, the author gets to mark what they don't want processed and the other side gets... ?
The cost is on the things mentioned themselves: JIT is not free at all, it may take more CPU power than your actual application during some period!

You can actually tell the JVM to not JIT... try that and see just how slow your code runs... it may give you an idea of how much it costs in terms of energy as well if you're able to measure that (I don't know how much that cost would look like, to be honest, I can only imagine it's a significant proportion of the total).
Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but the reality is that yes consumers do get some bit of benefit, but the real hole in the argument being made is that OS developers do make money off of us using our computers.

We all had to pay the licensing fee for the software. For many of us, a fee is paid yearly to the OS developer on our behalf. Just because the fee is not explicitly placed against our own debit/credit card balances doesn't mean a fee isn't being paid.

But even the fee argument misses the point. Myself and others are not asking that Apple not charge a fee. My feeling was that 30% on App revenue for example was too much. Given that the charges are now being itemized out in the open a bit better, do I still believe the fee was too high? I cautiously respond 'yes'. But I can now see where I might have been mistaken about what the amalgamation of the costs incurred to run this thing look like.

I guess all I really wanted was transparency. Let's get it all on the table and see what's what. Maybe 30% is a good deal? Maybe it's not? I don't know if you don't tell me everything that went into that. Consumers should be
informed, that's probably more what I believe now. I no longer believe we should change the model before we get a better idea of what the costs will be going forward. That could bankrupt a lot of small devs right now.

Is an app like eBay free in your definition? Because then you have Allegro, which is giant here in Poland. Apps from telcos. Public transit apps. InPost over here is quite big in deliveries. I think Alza in Czechia and Slovakia can easily have a couple million users.

Not very many businesses, but there are quite a few biiig ones.

Here on HN I often read startup stories about services which, on one hand, “nobody” has heard about, and which, on the other hand, “quickly grew to a couple million users and started having scalability problems”, which then spawns some story about scalability tricks. Always leaves me astonished as to how the heck some another glorified todo list/cat picture thing can rake millions of users so fast, but here we are.

I suspect there are way more niches in which tens of millions of users live, which the rest of us can just be ignorant of. It’s only when you approach a billion users that you can be sure “everyone” at least has heard the name of the service/app.
Made me laugh out loud. I call it 'lol' for short. Why isn't web hosting as free as social media posts?
I'm curious as to why you think that?

I only took a glance at their "why we built this" page, but it seems sound to me.
Also, it seems to serve a different purpose to wormhole.

Wormhole allows you to easily ans securely transfer files between two machines, if I understand correctly.

This is a convenient way to generate a public / private key pair and share your public key with someone encoded in a URL. In turn they can conveniently encrypt a short message using your public key which is also encoded in a URL for sending back over an insecure channel.

Being in the browser and having to trust it is not sending anything online, is not ideal. But on paper the concept seems pretty sound to me. I think it's a cool idea and can imagine it could come in useful.

I own an HP laptop. Why should HP get any money from what I do on my laptop and the software I install on it? I already paid them. Their product is the laptop.

Let's suppose that I still use Windows, which was installed on that laptop. I'm using Debian instead, but let's forget about it. Anyway, HP probably paid Microsoft for the OS. That's all that should be. I don't see any reason for me to pay Microsoft.

Now, let's suppose that both HP and Microsoft switch to a subscription model where the laptop costs some xx Euro per month and for the OS. Then it's different, I would think if I want to enter into that relationship and if I do then I would be OK for them "to keep their finger in the pie".

I won't use Windows anyway and I probably won't buy a subscription based computer. On the other side that would make me upgrade more often. It's more or less what some people do when selling their Mac to buy a new one. Sometimes the new one is not that good though.

They’re not a special case, they’re just like game consoles which are similarly locked down. The PC is the special case and I think that’s an accident of history. If the PC were brand new today it would be a locked down, walled garden like all the rest.

I think you are still conscious during the blackout, you just don't have a memory of it. Amnesia is the effect here, which is a little different than actually being unconscious the whole time.

When in surgery you really are unconscious though, hopefully at least.

I would compare this to forgetting what exactly you did on this exact day and this exact time one year ago. You can't remember it (most likely), but it doesn't mean you were unconscious during that time.
Google's CRLSets don't cover nearly the full set of revocations (AFAIK).

I don't know the details of how "valid" works, but as the Apple root program has recently required CAs to publish full CRLs, I assume they're planning something similar.

I mostly cite CRLite as it's well-documented.

I don't think OCSP must-staple is deployable. It requires code changes to effectively every webserver in the world, and that doesn't seem to be happening. I think it is stuck in a spiral of non-adoption, where there's no incentive for anyone to make progress. I believe short-lived certs (7 days) are more deployable in the ecosystem today than ocsp must-staple, with similar security properties. Certificate automation is already desirable, and it's not as big a leap once flows are automated.

This isn't going to happen overnight at least. Years, probably many. But it's happening.
Yes! I'm planning to migrate the Ollama hostname configuration to the Options page as well.

How do the adverse reaction rates compare to the negative effects of the HPV that it prevents? Without those numbers, your claim is unhelpful.

For instance, HPV causes about 37,000 cases of cancer each year: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/statistics/cases.htm

That works out to about 1 in 9,000 Americans. What are the rates of bad reactions to Gardasil that are worse than cancer? According to the CDC, at https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/hcp/vaccine-safety-data.html,

"Approximately 28 million doses of Gardasil 9 distributed in the United States; 7,244 reports of adverse events (AEs); 97% of AEs classified as non-serious and 3% classified as serious"

3% of 7,244 is 217. 28,000,000 / 217 is one serious adverse reaction per 129,000 recipients, or 1/14th as common as HPV-related cancer.

In other words, if you care about your health, you're 14x better off getting Gardasil than waiting to see if you get cancer from having HPV.
Yeah, lots of high quality criticism out there. You don't have to agree with what he's written to appreciate his ability to ask more fundamentally critical questions of the build world. He was first on my radar a LONG time ago (15+ years I think) through his blog, "Sit Down Man, You're a Bloody Tragedy." and he doesn't even list his first book Militant Modernism in his Aeon byline anymore. Which was an awesome little look at UK brutalism.
Couple of things.

iOS is sandboxed so they can’t do anything outside of the context of that app. To use any APIs that would require a permission dialogue you have to make a request to get a handle on them which only happens after a user grants permission, you can’t just reach into these. This is baked into the OS. Apps like the ones you’re talking about already hoover up is much data as possible in this context.

iOS itself is actually really good at this and can be improved and hardened further, Apple wants you to believe it’s somehow their review process and strict distribution channel that makes this possible.

It’s shameful to lie and undermine the will of the voters, and to kowtow to voters who seek to undermine the enterprise of the conference and its constitution and bylaws, which seems more likely than not from what cstross has alluded to:

From my original comment thread:

> I've also seen it alleged that the concom [conference committee] offered some attendees "special guest" treatment … and stole their Hugo voting rights in return, without telling them about that part of the "deal" first. (I will not cite a source on this until the attendee in question goes public.)

Which is why the real solution is for a mechanism to install code on an iOS device 100% outside of Apple's control similar to side loading on Android.

I don't trust Apple at all with their capricious and arbitrary blocking of apps/updates. It was bad enough when it appeared to be mostly due to incompetence, but after what they did politically (and in concert with Google, Twitter and Facebook) to Parlor that's when any creditability they had for me in curating the app store went out the window. I don't care where you are on the political spectrum, when a company starts to go down that path it's a danger for all of us.

Whether "malicious compliance" is a legal term or not, the intent of the law does count and transparent workarounds are not appreciated.

It depends on the area of law, traditions, common sense etc how much that ia true, but in general, disregarding transparent workarounds is a thing.
‘Looks like’ is a bit of an understatement ;)
I don't think it is egregious at all.

Instead, many people seem to have had a head-in-the-sand view that many of the services Apple provided were no-cost, or done out of goodwill.

So, now there is the option for alternative marketplaces, the costs have been shifted to those marketplaces.

Makes complete sense.

It's almost like... those marketplaces will need to find a monetising model similar to how the Apple App Stores used to operate.
> Where’s or Who’s the next Bell Labs?

The next Bell Labs is already here. It's just too much information for anyone to understand. To ever understand.

Yep. People are getting left behind.
Fair enough. I'm sorry if that is the way things are, and I fully accept how out-of-date my viewpoint may be.

It seems to me there's a problem any time the focus on just "the degree" as a goal, as opposed to what lies behind it. Simply getting a degree signals a certain ability to follow rules, navigate a bureaucracy, complete work on time, and demonstrate a generic ability to learn material and pass tests. For some jobs, that alone indicates potential value as an employee. This used to be indicated by obtaining a high school diploma.

Iran (Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthis), North Korea, etc. etc. There's plenty of groups around the world who do _NOT_ have the capabilities to build chips who will 100% copy Russia's strategy here.

We need to keep these chips out of their hands too. Even if its "too late" to stop it for Russia-Ukraine, its not too late to stop it in say... I dunno... China vs Taiwan scenario in a few years.

Better to get started on this today rather than complaining about it again 5 years from now when the _NEXT_ inevitable group starts stealing our chips to build their munitions.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good here. Regardless of the future, we will be happier as a country to have this figured out today, rather than delaying this another few years.
This sounds pretty much like my Panasonic OLED.

It’s all the things you want: has no ads anywhere, turns on in a couple seconds from standby, has a great image (they say it’s used in Hollywood for color grading or something), the “smart” is very light if you care to use it (I don’t and it doesn’t get in the way), is fully supported in home assistant… It’s basically a damn good screen to show whatever I want to see. It’s the polar opposite of the dumpster fire that Samsung TVs are for example.

It absolutely is. They are a deviation from the norm in a way that more often than not has negative consequences, in addition to any benefits that may or may not exist.

Autistic people thinking NT people need to be more like them is a result of their thinking being out of whack. Things like tolerance in society are irrelevant to that point.
