I didn't think Apple copied anyone. Pretty much all their subscriptions have had plus like iCloud+ and Fitness+.
I have likely posted some terrible things online on various sites that could easily get me fired or cause me trouble. Sometimes these are illustrations in debate to demonstrate a repugnant conclusion. Sometimes they have been roleplaying the opposite of my actual position, to better understand it. Sometimes I have just had bad takes.

I think all of these are natural and healthy parts of the human growth, and legitimate uses of online conversation. Not everyone else feels this way, or care about the context of speech they find objectionable.

Depends on the stand-up.

For the past 10 years I'd say most of my standups have been painless, quick, and productive, but I've both selected good jobs and/or worked with the team for that to be the case.

Mine usually don't last more than 10-15 minutes, no one has to read ticket by ticket and give detailed status updates, we simply look at 2 columns on the board (for what's in progress and what's in waiting/blocked) and ask: "anything someone want to bring up about these tasks?" to have a sanity check if everything is alright or if someone needs help, or if someone wants to share some quick information. After there's a general question "anything else you want to bring for the standup?" for the stuff we don't have a ticket for, or quick updates from PMs/EMs about things outside of our current scope/context.

Any further discussion is taken after the standup, if some topic starts to grow into a discussion we are strict about bringing it for discussion with the interested ones right after the standup. Those discussions never last more than 20-30 min, if they need more time we schedule a meeting with proper agenda, etc.

Whenever I worked at a place with dysfunctional ones I either managed to help correct course, or quit the job.

To me teams with good standup hygiene will very likely have meetings/processes hygiene as well, and is a very good signal of a well functioning team.
but this is not about facebook, this discussion is about the protocol

given how this industry protocols work, is likely that other big corporations that run data centers are also part of the real protocol discussion, some of those will be corncerned about traffic amplification

The idea that Mitchell Baker "insinuated herself" into Mozilla is ridiculous. She was an early Netscape employee, one of the original creators of the Mozilla project, and a founder of the Mozilla Foundation.
Recently, when I feel the urge to pick up my phone without a specific purpose in mind -- I force myself to write something down in my (physical, pen/paper) journal instead.

It doesn't even have to be "why am I trying to pick up my phone right now," though it often becomes that.

Analyzing how this makes me feel, I've found I am more calm throughout the day, and I attend to things with a bit more mindfulness / care.

Let say for a moment that it is acceptable for the CEO of a corporation working on the independence of the Web to not have her personal independent webpage.

I know, absurd, but let’s assume.

Let say for a moment that it is acceptable that the personal independent webpage is replaced by a monopolistic platform trying to centralize the web.

I know, absurd, but let’s assume

Let say for a moment that we don’t care that the platform is owned by one of the biggest competitor of the corporation. Historically and currently.

I know, absurd, but let’s assume.

Let say for a moment that it is not a problem that the platform is one of the worst offender when regarding privacy of its users and handling personal data, even if the new CEO is talking about privacy.

I know, absurd, but let’s assume.

Let say that to there’s no problem in requiring every person clicking this link to have an account on the linked platform to know who the privacy-oriented new CEO is.

I know, absurd, but let’s assume.

Let say that nobody at Mozilla considered it to be a problem as the introductory post of the new CEO…
From the headline, I expected a fairly contentless article -- you know, someone giving advice that is shallow and wouldn't work for anyone else. 'I found my way out of depression', 'How I bought a house with no savings', 'Positive thinking works for me', that sort of thing.

But it's actually _really good_. It's a thoughtful, reflective piece that talks mostly about a British philosopher / Buddhist, who I had not heard of before.

Thankyou for posting.

I hope we can get past the round robin required to get content out of GPTs. Lately I’ve stopped using Bard and copilot for summaries because they were… mis-directed. ChatGPT and Phind have been most reliable.

But yesterday I needed to populate some database/spreadsheets with some basic data and Bard was the only system that attempted to address my prompt and provide to me 50 results, and in Google Sheets no less.

Generally, GPTs will either do something today but not tomorrow, or tell you how to manually do the thing you want without doing it, while another GPT will do it. It feels like growing pains, politics and safety shackles.

Your logic is the same as the kind one expects from Twitter posts about having one poison M&M in a bowl of M&Ms, so let’s throw out the entire bowl. Here’s why it’s stupid to think like that:

1) People are not borgs or hive mind enjoined entities. Yes, they may share beliefs or have friendship circles etc. but it’s irresponsible and reaching to believe that everyone thinks or will act the same simply by virtue of being in the same mosque or temple or church etc.

2) So because people are not borgs, there is a lot of factionalization, even in the same religious group, political party, Internet forum.

3) Even still, unless someone is actively going out to do something for some organization, you cannot penalize them for thought crimes by their association. Why? Because doing so usually leads to spread of authoritarian control.

This is a rough response to your comment because people already know these things on some level. I think some people willfully choose to be stupid because of their biases.
Because you have to create an account, be logged in, and agree to be tracked. In other words, the opposite of the mission of Mozilla. They've long had a reputation as one of the worst offenders, and they're owned by Microsoft, which is obviously not known for respecting user privacy.

I think you're the 21st century equivalent of the people who "don't own a television."

It depends on what your social circles are like. Given that you're not attached to social networks, it seems likely your associates aren't super connected either. So you might miss out on a few inside jokes, but those are fleeting in the moment anyway. Probably nothing truly long lasting. Because of the broadness of the social network experience, it's not the same as missing Dallas or Game of Thrones in prior decades. And you might not have a water-cooler to talk at anyway...
That's not an atheist. That's an agnostic theist (aka deist).

Gnostic Theist: My God exists.

Gnostic Atheist: Deities do not exist.
Yep, one of the big wins for Go was preventing this by just not supporting complicated, "clever" code. It doesn't have a ternary expression, "i++" is not an rvalue, you cannot pack a huge amount of work into a single line, you can't overload operators or even functions and so on.

The opposite extreme is arguably C++, which I personally quite like (probably because I use it only for solo projects and don't try to collaborate with anyone), but I can't deny that it's an awkward, gnarly monster of a language. It'd be awful to see Go end up like that.
I do kind of agree with this, and I definitely resonate with not wanting to have to worry about what I said ten years ago.

But to the degree that HN is "privacy hostile" as you put it, with regards to not being able to delete comments, I'd say that it's also "privacy friendly" to an almost equal degree, given there is absolutely no personal information required in order to create an account.

And there is none of the usual invasive social network crap which drives me away from literally every online platform apart from HN.

Show HN: Soft-Body Musical Instruments and Breathing Exercises on Vision Pro
Hey HN!

I’m an NHS Doctor and founder of Pia (https://www.piahealth.co), which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app), and now an extension / partner app for Apple Vision Pro – ‘Lungy: Spaces’

Lungy: Spaces is designed to be a relaxing instrument you can play in space, as well as a calming, immersive environment to perform breathing exercises. This was inspired by ancient meditation practices, such as Tibetan singing bowls, encouraging the user to focus on the present moment and their surroundings, an active, sound-based meditation.

Lungy: Spaces uses a combination of Metal + RealityKit for the visuals - combined with a soft body solver. It combines full environments, which fully surround the user in a virtual space, and the Apple Vision Pro’s mixed spaces, which blend the user’s surroundings with interactive 3D objects. The UI is fully native for Apple Vision Pro - we rebuilt it from the ground up.

The app is free to download, with full access to all visuals / spaces costing $4.99 (one-off, no subscription). It’s available here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6470201263

Would love to hear feedback!
Everyone: Mozilla sucks and hasn’t done anything useful in the last ten years.

Also everyone: oh, this rust thing is nice.

Hm. Not every toy you make is a winner, but I think it’s fair to say that while maybe it wasn’t a commercial success, we all ought to say thank you for supporting rust and servo while it was growing up.
You're right. Some of us are using forks with Mozilla's telemetry removed.

I love iTunes, in the sense that I credit it with being the thing that got me to abandon the Apple ecosystem. I don't miss the constant battle with that cursed program.
Ah, that's a shame.

I can't justify two of this kind of thing at ~$20pcm to myself, but I do find it useful enough to pay for one I think.

(ChatGPT at the moment, I was considering Perplexity, but would miss images & ChatGPT's jupyter notebook integration. Maybe I just need to find some open source or roll my own that does just enough for me with the API, probably cheaper than Plus too..)

Oh great point. You're definitely not doing anything wrong. I built our template search to just keyword match the query and the name/descriptions of the template. So if your searching for scrape and the description says scraping or 'read website' you'd have no matches.

Here's an example of an automation that scrapes job postings to generate cover letters. The web scraping node here is the part reading the web page.

An awful lot of websites do have their revenue affected. Cryptocurrency exchanges, for example, need to know if an account belonging to some random innocent person is being linked to their account by someone impersonating that person, because if they accept payment, issue the cryptocurrency, and the fraudster withdraws it, the owner of the bank account will reverse the charge, their bank will recall the funds from the exchange, and the exchange is left holding the empty bag.

I've worked in this field specifically for most of the last 7 years. It's a problem on the order of tens to hundreds of millions of dollars annually if you get it wrong.
National borders and most romantic dates won’t ask for your HN profile but they will ask for all the other major social networks. Not everything with an account and a comment system is a Social Network to lay-people and first encounter authorities.
These towers often have several sets of tension cables at various heights, so you could cut the outermost/tallest set, drop the top-third of the tower, and work your way down. Still dangerous, but it's not always "bring all 500' down at once".

sadly it took me years to understand that this is a perfectly valid solution.

But damn, that's so hard to do (at least to me :-))
when the price of copper went through the roof a few years ago the local drug houses in Dallas started accepting it as payment for drugs. They would then sell the metal to scrap yards at a profit. Once that was up and running any copper left unguarded was gone instantly. Air conditioners were gone, wiring in new construction was gone, wiring in rent houses was gone, any copper anywhere was stolen constantly. I remember seeing people pushing shopping carts in Old East Dallas filled with copper cables, pipes, and other stuf.

There was a story probably once a month about someone breaking into a power substation or some other high voltage area to try and steal copper and electrocuting themselves.
> I’m currently on my phone for 90 minutes a day. Five of those are spent on Instagram. I no longer feel addicted.

I take it this is an improvement over the prior state of affairs, so that's great to hear. But I'd personally consider 90 minutes an awfully long time to spend on my phone every day.

If I assume the author doesn't have a laptop they're also using, and their phone is their only computing device, that sounds like a victory large enough to write a followup article like this about.

If not, I think I'd want to know whether they had just shifted their usage from one platform to another rather than actually decreasing the overall magnitude. If that's the case, I wouldn't consider it much of an improvement.
Islamophobia is a problematic term, since there is no unified concept of Islam to begin with. What is seen Islamophobic by a radical Muslim of Wahhabi sect (as an exmaple) may be seen as legitimate criticism by a moderate one. Based on my understanding it's mainly mosques with radical teachings and funding from certain countries that are being monitored.

The “popular vote” doesn’t mean anything, because nobody is trying to win it. It makes way more sense for Trump to spend a bunch of time trying to turn out 5,000 more votes in Georgia than to spend any time trying to turn out a million votes in California.

Issue polling, however, shows that Trump is winning on all those issues. For example, 74% of Americans oppose affirmative action in hiring: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/06/16/americans.... The median American thinks abortion should be banned after 15 weeks: https://apnorc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/chart2-1536x15.... It’s the rest of Trump that keeps his support under 50%.
It's interesting to hear this, because from the outside Mitchell's tenure has seemed to be a disaster, with a complete inability to stay focused on one thing for long enough to make a difference.

Mozilla in recent memory has reminded me more than anything of the dogs in Pixar's Up ("squirrel!"), constantly chasing after the latest shiny tech fad while neglecting the fundamentals. They've been a follower on everything and have failed to lead on anything. Mitchell's justification for stepping down as CEO seems to me to follow this same pattern: she's stepping down in order to focus on AI and internet safety.

It's good to know that she's a decent person and was good to Mozilla employees, but it's hard to square the picture you paint with the complete lack of direction I've seen during her tenure. Maybe Mozilla was in a much worse situation than I thought at the time she took the position?
Podcasts also tend to carry different metadata than music files, e.g. chapters which makes a dedicated client a little nicer since it’s guaranteed to handle all of that correctly.
If the fabric of reality is a simulation, then it is just a transformation of actual reality.

If the human brain could grow micro processor cells in addition to regular brain cells, it could simulate a neuron using the micro processor to achieve exactly the same goal.

If that is the case, what is the difference between a real human with a biological brain, a human with a cybernetic brain and a human with a virtual biological brain? Assuming they behave identically, there is no difference. A perfect simulation then is just a roundabout identity function.

The only interesting consequence could be that unsimulated reality somehow differs from simulated reality.
> an opportunity to hear the president of the most talked about country speak about why people are talking about them

Then educate yourself. Putin and all his apparatus have spoken at length about their motivations and their goals, in English. This is just more propaganda from a genocidal murderer under the veneer of a complacent "interview" by an American ally.
I don't think the audience for the comment was "published authors in the field" but "random people in a web forum" who make comments like yours ("Imagine telling someone you made a website and they're like 'cool, but did you even make sure it has the little green padlock?'")

In that context, it's often helpful to remind people that:

- Correlation is not causation

- It takes many replicated results to go from hypothesis to theory

(Which is quite different from "science is hard"). This is doubly-true with the current level of hype and grandstanding in science where primary and secondary sources are often clickbaity and misleading.

A bit of an aside, but I really wish the animation on the flawless.dev homepage "crashed" at a non-ideal spot.

As it is, the animation crashes at the most opportune moment possible: after a side-effect statement has been persisted to the log, and even before the subsequent statement executes.

Where I want to see that animation crash is in the middle of that "HTTP request" at the bottom, where that request is an HTTP POST, and where the crash is "the server successfully received the request, and processed it, but we crashed before we could get the response."

The resuming execution's log is either "empty" … or "we sent it, but never got the result" — the former has you repeating the side-effect, and the in latter, you can at least sort of tell you're doomed.

Yes, that’s what they’re telling you. However, in reality there is a lot of friction and/or confusion about how different products interact. I’m not saying this particular combination works one way or another, only that it’s extremely hard to understand the consumer product offerings compared to Amazon, Apple and arguably even Microsoft. It’s well known that Google has a marketing problem – people don’t even know what they offer.

The interface that sits on top and is supposed to give you some overview and coherence is bolted on with duct tape after-the-fact. Now, it’s possible this has changed since I worked there but I highly doubt that it’s all ironed out.
Because I started thinking about which device (nuke vs. lead bullet) was more capable of delivering computational malware, as that would lend itself to more entertaining pun.

But I eventually decided that wasn't a fruitful vein of humour, so I pared it back to mere mention of the weapon.

I.e., even though I no longer jad a reason to prefer the bomber over the pistol for the pun, I stayed with it out of mere joke-planning inertia.

Why mention just one or the other in my original comment?

Just a quick note; the market share decrease is relative to FF's original market share, in 2008. This may seem obvious to some but its really easy to get confused about absolute/relative changes when talking about percentages of percentages.
What I find weird is how many professional web developers contact me to ask what theme I’m using on my blog, a straight HTML website with 42 lines of inline CSS. I even was asked once with JS library I was using. (there is no JS, it’s a blog !)

None of those sending me those emails bothered to even look at the code. None even thought it was possible that this was NOT a "theme" somewhere on the web.

Yet I’m seen as the weird one in the industry.
