This article is decent, because at least it tries giving some technical pros of Firefox. Activism doesn't work folks.

To contribute, here's what Firefox does well, from my perspective:

+ History sync actually works — most Chromium browsers don't sync all history;
+ DNS-Over-HTTPS works in parallel to corporate DNS (fallback to system);
+ Tree-style-tabs;
+ Bookmarks management is better;
+ Very nice Reader View (Android & desktop);
+ Ctrl+Tab which actually works;
+ Non-admin upgrades, most of the time, making upgrades on managed laptops less annoying;
+ uBlock Origin, on both desktop and mobile;
+ Total Cookie Protection;
+ Multi-account containers (e.g., second Reddit user);
+ Android: accessibility zoom actually works;
+ Android: multiple search engines;
+ Android: Open in app;
+ Android: Dark reader / Cookie AutoDelete / other extensions;

Unfortunately, it also has issues:

- They dropped the ball on PWA support — mobile has unfixed bugs, desktop dropped SSB, has trouble keeping up with features [1];
- Poor performance on Android, known problems when scrolling (e.g., Mastodon, Twitter);
- incompatibility with online services (e.g., Microsoft Teams), although, granted, they're working hard to remedy that;
- No customizable keyboard shortcuts, which is surprising for a project that supposedly cares about accessibility;
- Firefox is still funded almost entirely by Google's search ads, which means they can't actually compete with Chrome;
- Mozilla has had poor and overpaid management, spending people's donations on political activism, while firing people working on next-gen improvements (e.g., Rust, Servo).

I have so many. In real life, this is where I get a very intense look in my eye, and about 50% of the time, I can see that the person I'm speaking with has realized that they're now trapped in an hour-long conversation with me.

I'll make it a short list of recent authors I've liked:

- Adrian Tchaikovsky. He's best known for his Children of Time series, but his other scifi books are also excellent; I haven't read the fantasy ones. "The Expert System's Brother" is particularly excellent.

- James Cambias. "A Darkling Sea" is a tremendously cool novel set at the bottom of an ocean under a moon's icy surface. Arkad's World has some very interesting world-building & aliens. And Corsair is a fun near-future technothriller about near-space and moon mining.

- Stephen Baxter (author of the Xeelee Sequence) writes very good books, but just about none of them have a happy ending, and they're mostly grim - but very interesting.

- It's not HN if I don't recommend Greg Egan, Peter Watts, and Neal Stephenson.

No. That’s not how LLM’s work. A simple direct query like that probably included the article text directly in the prompt, not the model. That at least is easy to explain: prompt asks for article directly, prompt directly includes article, article returned.

Well, if you want "CDN", then you must break the TCP connection. That is, you must have one TCP connection from client to CDN, and then one from CDN to the backend.

Unless you are against CDNs (they do serve a real-world purpose, tho), then it is a system necessity;

I think it won't be able to because the creation of these data structures and consuming them is 3 files apart.

> But if it's possible for someone to muck with the file contents and lie about the number of fields.

You can't. You can say you'll have 7, but provide 8. But as soon as I encounter the 8th one during parsing, everything aborts. Same for saying 7 and providing 6. If the file ends after parsing 6th one, I say there's an error in your file and abort. Everything has to checkout and have to be sane to be able to start. Otherwise you'll get file format errors all day.

The rest of the pipeline is unattended completely. It's bona fide number crunching (material simulation to be exact), so speed is of the essence. Talking about >1.5 million iterations per second per core.

> why would it be illegal to recover a dead animal at night using a spotlight?

Because it would be used as a loophole to hunt at night with a spotlight. In the old south park episodes they used to do a bit where you could hunt anything you wanted as long as before you shot it you said "It's coming straight for us!" so you had a self-defense excuse. Loopholes will be used.

SIMD can be pretty architecture specific. For example, does the CPU support AVX-512 or SSE3? So, you have to have a few code paths if you're going to support a wide variety of hardware.

I don't have an answer to your question it just occurs to me that maybe the Linux kernel doesn't allow a lot of SIMD for this reason or maybe they require a fall back/slow code path to be available if you're submitting a patch that includes SIMD operations?

Curious if anyone knows the answer to this.

This title is pure clickbait which preys on peoples ignorance about astronomy + millennia of unscientific ideology about the Golden Ratio.

Orbital resonance is a common phenomenon - the Galilean moons of Jupiter are in resonant orbits - and I suspect this system is interesting but not unique. In fact a quick search found a different system with 5 resonant orbits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOI-178 Orbital resonance is quite common with young solar systems so the interesting thing about HD 110067 is that it has remained in orbital resonance for billions of years. It is childish to think that aliens moved the planets around.

The paper itself[1] only briefly mentions the resonant property. Nobody is directly claiming that the aliens caused the planets to do this because making such a claim with zero evidence is ridiculous. But they certainly understand what they're doing with the clickbait title :(

Ya and vested over 5 years. See the actual SEC filing copy:

To retain and motivate Hock Tan, President and CEO, and
Charlie Kawwas, President, Semiconductor Solutions Group,
the independent members of the Board granted Mr. Tan and
the Compensation Committee granted Dr. Kawwas performance
stock unit (PSU) awards in fiscal 2023 that require (i)
achievement of formidable stock price performance hurdles
and (ii) continued service over a five-year vesting
period.

Mr. Tan’s fiscal 2023 PSU award was front-loaded to cover
the market-based value of both his annual cash and long-
term incentive opportunities over a period of five years.
Dr. Kawwas’ fiscal 2023 PSU award was also front-loaded
to cover the market-based value of his annual long-term
incentive opportunities over a period of five years. The
annualized GAAP value of these PSU awards was in line
with our compensation peer group benchmarks. During the
five-year vesting period, we do not intend to grant
annual equity awards to Mr. Tan and Dr. Kawwas and Mr.
Tan will not be eligible to receive annual cash incentive
payouts because these PSU awards were front-loaded.

These PSU awards are 100% at risk and deliver value to Mr.
Tan and Dr. Kawwas only if our stockholders receive
significant and sustained value appreciation. Additional
disclosure on the methodology and design of these PSU
awards is provided below in “Compensation Discussion and
Analysis.”

The EU is not a state. There is no possible way of having something like nationalisation at the EU level. So whilst nationalised companies exist in different member-states (almost all of them, I would think), the EU still cannot do that.

Copyright also happens to be opt-out. You have to explicitly say “this is not copyrighted” for copyright to stop applying.

See your comment and my reply? Both copyrighted. Right now. As soon as we hit publish we started to own copyright. There is an EULA somewhere on HN that probably says we give HN implicit permission to host this content in perpetuity and can even make it available in APIs, show it to bots, etc. But that’s not the same as no copyright. If somebody who is not HN wants to screenshot this comment and publish it in a book, they in theory have to find us and ask for permission.
"Krause told investors that the company actively pursues 600 customers ... ... because they are often in highly regulated industries, therefore risk-averse, and unlikely to change suppliers."

In short: no. Broadcom knows their top 600 or so accounts that are nearly 50% of their revenue have no place to run, and the remaining 6000 or so will be forced to bite the bullet.

Everyone else (eg, "distribution channels") are a 10% revenue blip in the radar that Broadcom doesn't care about having wind down or disappear.

> radio waves from satellites and telescopes beaming out in the plane of our solar system

Surely radio telescopes don't "beam out" radio waves? They receive them. If they are configured to transmit, like the Deep Space Array, they don't beam in the plane of the solar system; they beam at whatever spaceship they are trying to communicate with.

Satellites even less; they have to conserve power, so they don't send radio waves into outer space. Their antennae point at the Earth.

Also, the sentence containing that fragment has no main verb, so I had to read it several times to figure out what it meant.

Yeah. I get why people want to trot out entrapment, even when it's not, but it does certainly reek of a waste of time.

That said, they're game wardens. It's not like they could've been off solving murders or arresting domestic abusers or whatever. It might just be this is become a major problem in their area and this is a pretty good way to make sure everyone knows it's not ok.
Good to know that the PA game commission has their priorities straight. PA has a tremendous deer overpopulation problem. You'd think they wouldn't want to discourage hunting with all sorts of ambiguous legal gotchas.
> It doesn't work that way, exactly because the buildings are well insulated they keep warmth for much longer during summer.

Goes both ways, doesn't it?

Lots of houses in Sweden have basement/cellar floors as well, and if you have good insulation, you manage to keep more of that below-ground coldness around, compared to if air blew freely through the house. At least that was my experience.

I use Firefox. (Specifically Librewolf.) That said...

> Google can. Apple claims that they can’t, but they have disclosed user data to law enforcement in the past, so I don’t trust them. Mozilla says that they can’t, and I trust them.

Google does offer end-to-end encryption, with a separate "sync passphrase". I honestly suspect all of the major vendors actually do a good enough job here if you configure things right. Google's UX is crummy for it though, and I think iCloud has at least an optional account recovery feature that you can't really trust. So Firefox Sync is probably winning for user privacy, but it's not due to the lack of proper end-to-end encryption from the other vendors, it seems a bit more complicated than that.
Nutanix has a "free" KVM based hypervisor that you can use if you buy their HCI platform (you can also run VMware on top if you prefer).

From what I've heard it seems that most enterprises are moving to Hyper-V because it's already included in their Microsoft agreements (server Datacenter licenses).
you're right. it's hard for me to be sympathetic towards that though, because i chose not to make writing my day job.

Again, if you feed the article into the prompt over multiple queries, why would the model not regurgitate it?

I'm a fan in general too. Of course better is 'Cross-compiling Eliza to the IBM 1401 using Zig' or something, but removing a leading 'how' is a decent automatic fix.

Also you can always edit your submission and put it back to whatever you originally submitted it as (or something different if it made you realise something that should be fixed) and it doesn't re-apply these rules; i.e. in this case I would've thought No the 'how' is actually meaningful here, and put it back.

I would assume it takes more than a day to build a Dyson sphere. But more to the point from a distant observer's viewpoint the star isn't going to just blink out. The Dyson sphere has to radiate just as much energy as the star produces, so it would probably appear just as a red dwarf. Unless the alien civilization has some way to destroy energy it will be in a constant battle to avoid cooking the inhabitants of the sphere.
The longer time you get to do that the less energy is required
> people generally do manage their own TLS keys.

What? No, most people do not run their own web server. Most people have their web site on a web host, and lets the web hoster manage it, including the TLS keys. Just like with DNS and the DNSSEC keys.

I freely admit that I don’t know. Beside ICANN, I’m guessing all the TLD operators, since their records can now be spoofed with impunity. But, I guess you could also ask: What would happen if, say, the keys for the X.509 certificates for google.com was leaked?
