I agree with everything you said. All I can say in response is that being a great community leader and open web advocate doesn't always square with someone who has to make a profit for hundreds or thousands of employees.

I have no inside information, but here's my guess at what happened. John Lilly was a great CEO. When he left, there was a gigantic void. They hired Gary Kovacs, who started the "squirrel!"-ing. He wasn't well-liked, and used Mozilla as a stepping stone. So going forward they only hired from the Mozilla community, which is a small pool – both of people who could do it and people who wanted to do it. I'm not sure if Mitchell wanted it or not, but I don't think there was a lot of competition.

Being the CEO of Mozilla is not a good job, and I imagine it's really hard to fill. There's a ton of pressure, relatively low salary, no equity, no exit.
It's less a "Firefox above all" sentiment, it's that Mozilla had

1. Firefox as baseline product declining

2. Lots of failed experiments to find new revenue streams while staying true to its mission

3. Baker's CEO salary rising several-fold

4. Engineers laid off for cost reduction

Any three of them might well be okay, all four together look terribly self-centered on Baker's part.
Right - so 2560 x 1440 is the default for a 5K studio display or old 5K iMac. 1920 x 1080 is the default in MacOS for a physical 4K monitor.

Note that these numbers are half the actual pixel count in each dimension because MacOS defaults to assuming the display is a 2x Retina Display.

So, if you choose the 1920x1080 option you get what I see using my actual 4K display. It also avoids the downsampling, because the stream itself is 4K and so is sharper.

I don't know why Apple set the default for 5K downsampled.
OK, tested the C version on my Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz and following the instructions

> Measured run time in seconds should be divided by 400000
to normalise for reporting results. For archival results,
adjust iteration count so the benchmark runs about five minutes.

so it ran for 246 seconds (almost 5 minutes) and the normalized result is:

0.000617025
The naming on iPhones and Macbooks is terrible, and confusing now that the M3 Pro offers quite different CPU and bandwidth limits compared to M2 Pro...
I think you need to work on your reading comprehension if you thought the author wanted a uniform distribution.
Would love to suggest this. Might be bold as a fairly new junior though haha. I do think these meetings would make far more sense if we only discussed things that people had issues with. If everyone's just rambling it's pointless. My standup are rarely an hour but they are often about 30 mins which is already just unnecessary most days.

The thing I hate most is sprint planning and refinement. People make such big deals about everything and it can easily last over an hour. I especially hate all the drama about making sure our workload is right and moaning about how long things will take and politics and such. I'm starting to think it's some sort of cult of unproductivity ever since the senior frontend guy said that an angular upgrade would take us 2 years and loads of seniors so it's not worth starting this year. It's a massive load of version but ain't no way that's gonna take 2 years and that we can't do it with the one senior frontend, one mid frontend and one junior fullstack (me).

I think you are talking specifically about the Memorial Project, that was documenting victims of Stalin's terror, and was dissolved by a Moscow judge in 2022?

I remember they were documenting the genocide of Finnish Ingrians among other Soviet crimes.
Please upstream this code. That ensures this work will live forever with better maintenance without you all having to chase upstream vbox AND will be easier to justify use if it's an included vbox component. I would find it difficult to justify using this to my bosses "lets just go use this custom fork of vbox" isn't going to fly for most.
I think it is more correct to say that religion has been used as an easy excuse and a way to bind closer the group causing violence and to dehumanize the victim group.
In this context,

is it that the training data had this problem?

or that the training data had some semblance of the problem that is semantically linked to?

or is it that the training data has no mention of this, and the model came up with a perfectly logical answer??
Very true. This process went much faster in Brooklyn. But also there were more people willing to pay for decent-quality things. It hasn't been bad in Chicago, but definitely slower and the prices have to be lower for used things.
Thanks! I legit had no idea. I retract my earlier comment.
Why would a consumer have a billion files in a directory?

Your question reminds me of a famous (some fifteen-twenty years ago) question from MSDN forums.

A poor soul complained that when they put 10K buttons on a form in the designer view in MSVS it comes to a grinding halt. And that's impossible to use the studio anymore. To which a bunch of respondents quickly replied: "but why tho? why do you need so many buttons on the form?" -- From the discussion that followed it became apparent that the poster wanted to reproduce the minesweeper game with a 100x100 board.

What I'm trying to say is: if you have a problem where you think you need a billion of files all in one directory, it's easier to reformulate the problem than to try to find a solution for it.
Yeah, I would do either node runs or track CPU time / memory and abstract it to credits, as you were mentioning.

Can I ask how your runs are executed? I'm assuming tracking usage is probably trivial, if you're running each process in individual sandboxes.
De-Evolution has been proven correct.

Same here, late 80s I took a high school drafting class and asked about the PCs in the back, the teacher said "I don't know anything about them, they have some software called AutoCAD. Do you want to take an elective and learn how it works?" It was entirely 2D and I went through all the exercises quickly.

That foundational knowledge stuck with me and although it's not my job at all, I use Fusion 360 all the time at home to design parts for my self-built microscope and many other things. It's a great tool.

I don't find myself reacting to any of that with the angst it seems this inspired in you. If someone doesn't have a personal website, it doesn't make me think they hate independent websites or privacy. And if they don't have a personal website but someone on their staff needs to link to a persistent, business-oriented online profile, LinkedIn is about as good as anything I can think of.

I'm not sure why people think tech asceticism would grant people the ability to successfully run a large company.

The decline of Firefox's popularity didn't happen because the CEO uses LinkedIn, arguably one could say that the resistance to trends would be more harmful than helpful if you're aiming to improve browser marketshare. The problem for Mozilla is that the internet is not mostly weird nerds anymore.

During Chrome's rise to popularity I don't think focusing on privacy was the popular thing to do, but the tides do seem to be turning and Mozilla could benefit from riding this wave again.
It's plainly axiomatic. Humans do this because it is valuable to treat other humans as if their pain, injury, or death is important. The other humans extend reciprocity. We will, for instance, chase your murderer down, because if the situation is reversed, we're pretty sure you'll chase our murderer down. We get a deterrent effect for practically nothing... that's a bargain.

Mice do not extend reciprocity. They will not chase your murderer down, or avoid injury to you.

If you're searching for more than that, you've turned it into a religion. This is a practical matter.

It's unlikely that you have developmental issues that makes this impossible for you to understand intuitively. I suspect that you were miseducated.
Sure. Add "Get the actual official Python from python.org, not whatever mess Microsoft has cooked up" as step 0.

If you do use Microsoft's Python distribution though, are you saying that it provides neither "python3" nor "py"? How do you use it then?

According to the docs[0] the Microsoft Store package should provide "python" and "python3" commands (effectively unsolving the problem solved by the Python launcher, I guess?) so either my original suggestion of "python3" or my subsequent suggestion of "py -3" should work, depending on which distribution was installed.

Meanwhile Bard was not available in Canada and many other countries.
Huh, I didn’t know they’d dropped the basic model.

It always made sense to me, at least: “pro” is premium in a power direction, “air” is premium in a lightness direction, and the base model is just the base model.

But I guess it is unsurprising that Apple doesn’t want to do a base model, haha.

Another way of looking at it, I guess, is just that it is an evolutionary process, and every MacBook is a descendent of the Air now.
I hope they can at least spin off the browser division into its own entity. Mozilla the org has become some sort of wannabe think tank that people are vaguely aware of but mostly just ignore. Meanwhile, Firefox has been circling the drain for a decade...

This is a group that gets way too much money from Google and doesn't know what to do with it...
So someone is selling a GPU with an anime furry with huge boobs and thick thighs? What kind of consumers do they have in mind?
That would be odd, given that it was developed in France.
Eh, no. There’s an important semantic distinction between an external deity and an internal deity. An external deity is not present. It is not knowable. It is for all practical purposes, irrelevant. An internal deity is like Christian god. Perhaps you consider it to be the originator of the universe, perhaps you don’t. Perhaps they’re “in” the universe or not. But the important bit is that it’s “there”, with the power to influence or at least to justify a sense of spirituality.

There’s no form of rational thinking that confidently concludes there’s no external deities. If you peel back the layers of agnosticism and atheism, they’re concerned with internal deities. Entities that are aesthetically deity like and have some sort of relevance that presents structure beyond observable physics.

Typical atheism, even if not often articulated as such, believes that the world is what it is. External deities are intrinsically a toss up and acknowledging that does not make one conventionally agnostic.
- Form filling is actually what my cofounder Rahul is working on right now. Automating scaled form filling in different languages with LLMs is something we're building for a customer.

- We know the founders at AgentGPT, they're from Vancouver Canada as well! But no we don't actually use any Agentic frameworks at all. There is no autonomy in AgentHub automations. Rigid automations like we provide were the only way we could find reliable and cost effective value for our early users.

- Yea your spot on, showing people what this can do is our single biggest challenge. We tried the approach of making tons of templates but for a template to be good it has to be general but when automations are general, they seem useless. We've narrowed in on a few ICPs but even then it's hard to know which is the right one to go after. Right now we're just throwing things at the wall, seeing what sticks and tending to our power users.

Is it not ironic that the supposedly test of AGI is flawed and its human designer fail to see it and denied it when presented with facts. Maybe the test designer is hallucinating just as much as those LLM? :)
YES. I remember watching day in the life of a se videos like 7 years ago when I was 18ish and vaguely considering the career (I didn't go for it and took a long route), and I remember distinctly that the whole point of stand up was that you STAND. it's in the name and its like that for a reason. Now, having started in the industry, I was so confused that people ignore the whole imperative of the name and make it into the exact sort of sprawling business meeting that it's not supposed to be.
For what it's worth, I've built an entire data ingest pipeline with PostgreSQL that stores tens of millions of PDFs in a giant database table and...it works fine.

Now we are working on scooping up a bunch of small (1-2KB) files we want to index with metadata and chucking them into a SQLite file, because as fast as `grep` is searching through the text the constant open() and close() calls are much more impactful.

> Any new market outside Firefox

Why was this even necessary? Firefox has always been an undervalued asset at Mozilla. They sat on it and seem to have barely invested enough effort to make it decent enough to compete with Chrome. Back in 2009, if you'd asked me where I saw Firefox 10 years from then, I'd have said that in 2019 it's more than simply a browser. It's a platform competing with Apple and Google for apps, but on the web. It would have a core web browser with various derivatives. For example, one aimed at general purpose browsing (the FF we know currently), one for business apps (e.g. specialized browser augmented to understand better languages than plain old HTML/CSS/JS and built-in libraries for business apps; think Visual Basic, Notion), one for game apps, one for education apps, and more. Mozilla would provide tools and toolkits to make it easy for devs to just build apps for the web, so that they don't have to fight with the front-end. Apple is doing it for iOS, Google is doing it for Android. I still don't understand why Mozilla couldn't see itself sharing this cake with Firefox when it had 30%+ market share.
I just tried splitting the Anna's Archive 250GB WorldCat JSON file out into separate files so I could random-access it. My app crashed at 7m files due to some corruption in the source file.

I can tell you, it took a real, real long time to delete seven million files on NTFS. It was not happy.
Yep.. I had an SV650 too, and IIRC I would typically turn in 50-55mpg any place except doing laps at the racetrack.

I get they need to get something out to start this process but this seems very underwhelming given the price, the weirdness with the transmission, the extra complexity of the whole thing, etc..

Probably a big issue with getting the fuel economy up is simply that bikes aren't very aerodynamic. So they suffer even more than a car with highway riding. But acceleration, etc.. is just not a problem with bikes in any way, there is absolutely zero need for an electric motor to help with anything. Even a 250cc bike can move out with authority at low speeds.

I'm in the US. I had the SV650 quite some time ago, but it would cost me maybe $10-12 to fill it even today. It was VERY cheap to run.

Later on I had a Honda Interceptor, that got 40-45mpg in street riding despite being a big heavy bike with excessive power (as opposed to so many even faster bikes that are just absolutely ridiculous) that I usually had luggage on.
this is such a useful tool - thank you!
Show HN: Fully Customizable Blogging Service
Hello HN,

During the past few months, we've been developing a fully customizable blogging platform called Blogkit (https://blogkit.dev).

We've seen that many blogging platforms provide limited customizability and don't offer the set of features that we were looking for. We wanted a blogging platform that covers the following:

- Fully customizable
- Built-in analytics
- Performant and uses SEO best practices
- Built-in email newsletter service

The only way for you to launch a blog with these features is for you to use a CMS, combined with other services, and host your blog independently.

So, we've built Blogkit to cover all of those features:

- Blogkit provides an in-browser editor that provides you full customizability over your blog themes (Using React.js & CSS/Tailwind CSS).
- has built-in analytics
- has a built-in email newsletter
- is performant and uses SEO best practices.

We'd love to know your thoughts on Blogkit and if you have any feedback. For any businesses that want to give our platform a try, reach out to us at help@blogkit.dev and we’ll be happy to get you started with a free trial.
Mozilla was originally the Netscape browser, which was a paid browser. All browsers were paid at the time, until IE came along and was bundled for free with Windows. Firefox broke that chokehold, and make an open web possible.

Mitchell was a lawyer at Netscape, and used those two things to (with others) spin Firefox off into a non-profit (controlling a for-profit). No, she didn't write any code, but she is directly responsible for forming a company that enabled Firefox to be free and open source.

Yep. It's a great documentary that I enjoyed watching, but I think we need stronger evidence here. Documentaries are not necessarily factual, and they often times have an angle despite the idea that they're just producing factual content/stories.

Showing that the Chinese workers won by a big margin doesn't prove anything. It definitely doesn't prove anything outside of that specific scenario.

Has anyone read anything about the immediate impact of that particular use of firearms ? What it did (or did not) do to the atmosphere, to the tactical situation ? Can it be argued that it "turned the tide" or that it "sapped morale" ?

No, not like that.

This is just another one of those sexist memes that needs to be forgotten. A person can have a therapist; a parody of an insecure man can have counseling from a coach.

Atheism does not mean that you believe deities do not exist. It means you do not have the belief that they do. The absence of a belief in something does not imply a belief in the absence it.

A definitive belief that deities do not exist is sometimes called strong atheism.

> I worked at Mozilla back in 2012, as we were pivoting to FirefoxOS (a mobile OS). I was very low in the company, but for some reason sent Mitchell an email detailing why I thought it was a bad idea.

Or we could all send them a daily e-mail telling them how great they are and/or they're not really going to die at ~80, depending on their particular neurosis. Then they wouldn't need to go at all.
>When Rudenko began the interrogation of Beria, a monstrous person was revealed before our eyes, a dreadful beast for whom nothing was sacred.

It's amusingly self-serving how Krushcev should imply that he and others in the top leadership only discovered this about Beria after the death of Stalin and Beria's arrest.

Krushcev himself, while not personally sadistic and cruel in the way Beria was, had rivers of blood pass over his hands while he worked for Stalin organizing vast purges and famine conditions.
