I think the logic is that Mozilla should spend money on developers instead of their CEO.
No, it doesn't have to be dull. In fact, huge companies are more likely to have interesting technical problems than startups. The value of most startups is in their business plan, not their codebase. The code is just there to sketch out a rough prototype of the idea. Startups rarely have the time or money to sink on deep theoretical research. Also, few startups operate at a scale where they actually need fancy tech.

Consider Google: they invented Borg, MapReduce, GFS, etc. because of their sheer scale. Microsoft (disclaimer: I work here) has MSR. Xerox had PARC. There's tons of fascinating tech buried inside, things you'll never find at start-ups.

It's easy to become invisible and embed yourself into your team's narrow silo, but you can make a monumental impact by doing the opposite of that.

This is a little like the 60s experiment teaching what I believe were nematodes to arch their backs in response to a light shone by the researchers.

Those nematodes were ground up and fed to new untrained nematodes which then acquired the back arching response.

Can't find the original paper but it was covered in the 1984 book The Science in Science Fiction.
On iOS, you only have to logon to the main app. Game installs and launches are normal - App Store, Home Screen - and they can detect the account from the main app. It looks like they've added "which profile?" selection.

Yup, I couldn't agree more. His music from back in the day is so incredibly unique and nobody has made anything like it before or since. It's impossible to find anything like it. Unfortunately he seems to no longer want to make music like that.
If I was a billionaire I'd write him a blank cheque to make more music like his old stuff.
But, I'm no musician, maybe he literally can't anymore. I don't know how it works, or how insulting the mere notion would be to him.
I certainly wish it wasn't a waning concern.
There is disinformation on TikTok. There are white supremacists and antisemites that take every Israeli conflict as an opportunity to spread their hate. This is true.

What is also true is that you can clearly see Israel conducting a genocide live, while every news outlet in the west denies it or justifies it.

I am not talking about fake news, I am talking about citizen journalists, footage of children who have been pulled out of rubble. Footage of leaflets dropped on a column of refugees. The civilian death tolls that the US confirms themselves. The harder Israel denies their atrocities, the stronger the backlash becomes when people see the truth with their own eyes.

Israel's far right and Netanyahu bear a huge amount of blame for the rise of antisemitism, because they point to these atrocities and say "this is what Jewish people globally stand for".

"After October 7, the Israeli government shut off the pipes that supply Gaza with water. It has since only resumed piping water to some parts of southern Gaza while some water has entered via Egypt, but it’s not reaching everyone and is not nearly enough to meet the needs of Gaza’s population, requiring many to rely on the local water supply."

On iOS you download them from the app store and then log in with Netflix. There are links to them from within the Netflix app, too.

This comment was the best roller coaster I've ridden in a long time. Thank you for the great writing. I can't stop laughing.
I recognize that (actually made a longer comment in main thread), and I'm not convinced that's strictly in the public's interest.

You are essentially placing a filter of "you must be this rich to bribe politicians." This could "counterintuitively" empower the already powerful even further, as you decrease their competition.

To perform market capture they must capture a critical mass of politicians (we'll say mass varies by each politician's power). While there's already an implicit filter for those high mass politicians (fat cats ;) -- since you accumulate mass quickly -- the system's robustness is through the distribution of power among politicians. The whole political structure is designed to make it difficult to capture enough mass, and this is identical to the argument against authoritarian systems. So the constraining effectively reduces competition and can actually make mass accumulation cheaper and easier for companies that have the highest potential (and incentives) for abuse.

So unless you got a counter argument that can convince me that this is of no concern, then I'm sticking to my original position.
The main issue is until you solve 99% of all the problems, you’re still introducing substantial friction to every potential user who may have had to go from zero coding knowledge needed to very specialized coding knowledge needed.

And while many problems are trivial to fix at eg the PyTorch layer, lots of stuff like flash attention, DeepSpeed, etc. are coded directly in CUDA kernels.

People always love to compare efficiency at a micro level.

The thing is effeciency isn't what you actually want to maximize.

It's not surprising that a small team of 5 people in a startup can build 1 thing faster than a team of 5 in a big org.

The orgs goal is to keep adding anything that makes a net profit even if means a loss in effeciency caused by the extra overhead of being more complex, bigger and slower.

Get a used TDS-2xxx series used on ebay. I prefer Tek scopes, great trigger, and the TDS 210, TDS220 and their ilk continue to work very well. As to PC attach, yes, you can do that, but that will need some s/w.

Many people like the newer Chinese scopes; see https://youtu.be/S8jrpCoZyx8?si=oaI_gxOylYhOSp-m but I have only limited experience with those. Their UI seems less obvious than Tek scopes.

The other very important specs besides what you've mentioned are # of channels, and highest operating frequency. Others today would be how fast is the ADC, how many bits, storage depth, post-capture analysis capabilities, and so much more.

You've described something extraordinarily similar to my own mental topology for processing problems. I'm also autistic, although I think our sensitivities differ somewhat.

I also try to (and mostly succeed at) hold a whole problem in my head at once. This made me fairly successful at architecting software systems with many moving parts, but it's an incredible drain on my energy, and I would sometimes find myself so exhausted I would go to sleep for hours (i.e. not a simple nap) in the middle of the day. I credit this ability for my current burnout, honestly! It's deeply satisfying to do, but maintaining it week after week amidst all the other responsibilities of my previous job (especially the interpersonal ones) was crippling.
A large company values redundancy more than efficiency. In a startup having Steve do all the website design is efficient and cost effective. At megacorp, having Steve do all the website design means there is a single point of failure, and gives Steve incredible leverage over the company.

In the past you could carve out a community at the office, make some friends, realize your work is kind of bogus, and go home on the weekend.

In our new hybrid wfh world everyone seems much more closed off. So now you’re just doing bogus work on slack/zoom from the spare bedroom without the sense of community or consistency.

If you have a family to take care of this probably still sounds like a good trade.
I thought there's a fix incomming. But I can't find a link right now. Something about exactly the issue with "big green accept button", "small half hidden reject button".
kinda different comparing a state with an organization that was caught lying about death statistics numerous times in the past [1] and including in this war (such as the ali ahli hospital incident).

it should raise some questions how the casualty count went to 500 in a few hours, where everywhere else in the world it takes days to get a body count after any disaster

It is beyond me how someone can believe that an organization capable of kidnapping babies to advance its political goals is beyond lying to do the same

> The BBC reported that before departing, he told a friend on Snapchat: "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."

Definitely alarming than encrypted Snapchats are clearly not private, but the response as a whole still seems fairly reasonable, no? He did kinda threaten to blow up a commercial airliner.

I think the BBC article about his acquittal has a lot more points relevant to the discussion about privacy:

> Why can't intel, AMD, google w/e come along and write an adapter for that lowest level to TF, pytorch or whatever is the framework of the day?

A long long time ago, i.e. the last time AMD was competing with Intel (before this time, that is), we used to use Intel's icc in our lab to optimize for the Intel CPUs and squeeze as much as possible out of them. Then AMD came out with their "Athlon"(?) and it was an Intel-beater at that time. But AMD never released a compiler for it; I bet they had one internally, but we had to rely on plain old GCC.

These hardware companies don't seem to get that a kick-ass software can really add wings to their hardware sales. If I were a hardware vendor, I would, if nothing else, make my hardware's software open so the community can run with it and create better software; which will result in more hardware sales!
They introduced it in late 2022 or early 2023 I think. It was part of their rebranding. I agree with you, it's distracting, especially when used in a text-heavy medium like online journalism.

That is so hyperbole, it’s hard to bear. What is a ”device“, exactly? What does it mean if it ”possible“ to use the device?

No, utilities are not government created monopolies.

Take natural gas. Let's say there's a first company that has laid pipes to all the houses in town. Currently, they're a monopoly, just because they were there first. No government involved. They may be pretty profitable, too, in the absence of competition. And they're remain a monopoly until some other company lays pipes to at least some of the houses in town. But no company will do so, because they know that if they do, the first company (who has years of profits to build up their financial reserves) will lower prices to the point that neither company makes money. The new company will go out of business, and the established company can then raise rates back to what they were.

It takes government intervention to stop this dynamic. And, with electricity and gas, it usually takes one of two forms - either a public service commission that prevents the monopoly from making too much money, or a requirement to allow competitors to use the existing pipes/wires. But neither of those created the monopoly. They just responded to the fact that natural monopolies are what naturally happen in things like electricity and gas.

Your claim was broader than natural monopolies. You said "All of that requires government". How does one company buying out their competitors require government (beyond having money and a legal system)? (And if the claim is "money and a legal system require having government", that's true, but it's true for all companies in general, not just monopolies, so that's pretty much not the topic under discussion.) How does one company using leverage to monopolize a market require government?

For a concrete example, when Microsoft was using Windows as leverage to try to monopolize the browser market, how did that take government? It took government (an antitrust court case) to stop them.
Feels like at this point, employees should just buy stock of the companies they work at, at least that way they get something in return when companies "create value for the shareholders".
I would love to know how this plays out with the filesystem wars we seem to be continually stuck in.
When Israel declared independence, that land was not governed by any state due to the withdrawal of the British Mandate. The Palestinians had previously been offered statehood through the 1947 UN Partition Plan, but had rejected it. They did not take steps to establish their own state in anticipation of the British withdrawal.

The majority of land purchases were made by the Jewish National Fund. Their aspiration to form a state was explicit and overt.

The point is that Mozilla wants to use their own browser engine for Firefox on iOS for all users. While the change opens up the possibility to do this in the EU, it's only possible to do so in the EU. iOS users in the US cannot get this version.

Many batteries deployed today, in 2024, spend their entire lifecycle being charged entirely from solar. Are you asking what year none of them will be charged with electricity from fossil fuels? I’d bet that we’ll hit that mark in California before 2040.
Agreed. Postfix is hard. Best to avoid the issues in the first place. USB-C remains a thorny subject because it’s probably a net win, but there’s a lot to dislike still. No I don’r want a high speed cable just to charge my damn phone.
Because it's more ambiguous, being based on estimations. The situation in the article sounds like a breach of contract rather than criminal, who should be "going after" them?
I feel that's an extremely naive view. How many Jews live peacefully and enjoy human rights under Arab rule in the middle east? Zero. How many in Gaza under Hamas? Zero. How many live in the west bank in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority? Zero.

So "Hamas" only wants Tel-Aviv "returned", Jersualem "returned", Haifa "returned", from the river to the sea, but somehow in that vision all the Jewish population lives peacefully and enjoys human rights that don't exist anywhere in the middle east?
True. Good point. But that will change surprisingly rapidly. We've experienced it in Norway already. It's been a huge change over the last 5 years.

I don't have a garage attached to my house, it's a shared garage building. But once a few owners got EVs, and it became clear to others that EVs were the future, we got some minimal renovations done that allowed anyone to pay to have a slow AC charger installed.

Oslo has been rolling out street-side AC charging poles. There's never quite enough but the growth is steady.

Other countries may not have the same incentives, but that just shifts the point where the rapid transition starts by a few years I think, since cars get cheaper and better all the time. And remember that Norway is fairly cold, which is brutal on range in the winter, so it's not really a fully ideal place for EVs (though at least the car starts reliably every time unlike diesel)

Furthermore, right-wing populism led by so-called "strongmen" seems appealing to emotional voters who choose not too see the bigger picture or reality, and lack a foundation of principles or knowledge. Instead, it's easier to revert to conspiracy theories, hate, anger, and insurrections.
