> As the article says, you need to disallow every single permission individually because the spec has no "deny all" option

Yes, and I agree that a deny-all option makes sense in general, but my point is that denying YouTube access to the camera seems nonsensical.

It betrays a bad-faith viewpoint that is in my opinion, one not based in evidence or experience. What is the threat model? I can't see one that makes sense in the context of YouTube being a large consumer product oriented company.
Actually, they have hundreds of explosions each year now. Just google ontploffingen.
Is it okay to consider the wellbeing of others, too?
I, similar to the parent, have very few issues on either my computers or phones. I run Firefox on several different OS's and I just don't have the issues you mention.

Do you have some examples of websites that really behave that differently depending on the browser you're using?

Having lived through the "best viewed with..." days I'd hoped we were past all that by now!

When you put it that way, yes, you obviously are. So is every other individual.
Beautiful, thank you for posting!

I predict new reentry shaders being made for Kerbal Space Program by modders in short order.
aha! feenableexcept! i'd never heard of it!

// Demonstrate C99/glibc 2.2+ feenableexcept

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <math.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (argc != 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s a b # floating-point divide a by b\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}

feenableexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO);
double a = atof(argv[1]), b = atof(argv[2]);
printf("%g ÷ %g = %g\n", a, b, a/b);
return 0;
}

is the machine still ieee-754-compliant after you call feenableexcept? i'm guessing that if it weren't, intel wouldn't have defined the architecture to have this capability, given the historically close relationship between 8087 and ieee-754
Seems pretty entrapmenty.
Apparently I can't spell today. xD
I can really understand the fear of having your paychecks stop. Many artists will continue to be artists, but some found jobs doing what they love and there is a shakeup going. Everything will settle at some point, but the transition will be rough for many.
It does reflect transistor density. You can check this yourself:

I understand that the author is mad and wants things to be opt-in. But I also think the author is smart enough to know that the tech industry understands consent just fine. It just doesn't care.

twitter and reddit will soon be bots talking to bots (if they aren't already) so the AI can train on that.
it's been a few years since I've read through Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles but I don't recall them getting overwhelmed by the "new world".

What I recall is that vampires who don't occasionally "go to sleep" never make it long enough to become truly strong. In essence, they burn out. Almost as if the world becomes so boring that they must sleep for centuries so they can wake up and find the new world _invigorating_ rather than overwhelming.

In her books, both the original vampires did this, as did Lestat.
It sounds like there's a distinction between looking for a corpse with a flashlight and looking for new things to kill with the flashlight, and that the latter is sometimes prohibited (some discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlighting ).

Also seems like it would be tough to do the former without accidentally doing the latter.

It means "we don't see price gouging." I assume absence of cartel-like price coordination.
You said that, but it does not make it true. Trump rocked the boat but did fuck all.

The truth is that for many European countries military defence is was a bit of an abstract concept, with no real enemy nearby and no really interventionist foreign policies. Letting NATO rot was not a big problem in that context. What changed everything was when an enemy willing to use its military in a war in Europe materialised.
Less than 20. Most mirror the chapters of manga I like, and some are blogs I regularly find interesting.

No love for Euclidean division?
That's fair, a lot of these features do not require a beefy processor. I think the value lies in the AW being a full-featured platform. Its processor is overkill for the lightest use-cases like remote shutter, but for others it's nice having a smartphone-like experience.

Case in point: Maps are full featured, it's not just about traffic, it's also about points of interest, supporting different modalities (crucially, public transit), and generally feeling like the full maps experience.

Like any other platform, 3rd party apps are nice for niches that the manufacturers do not serve, or do not serve well. For example, lifting apps make it super easy to log sets, reps, rest, etc; useful data the core experience does not offer.

As mentioned earlier, I think there's room for both. I'm actually not opposed to sporting a Garmin for endurance sports, where battery life is king :)
The ultimate crime of "doing legal things together, illegally"
For a given stellar mass and orbital radius (assuming a circular orbit), there's not really any wiggle room on how long the planet's orbital period is. Speeding up or slowing down the planet requires it to orbit at a different distance. If you meant the speed of a planet's rotation about its own axis, I guess the limit would basically be the point at which it tears itself apart by spinning so fast that its gravity no longer holds it together.

> They seem to only care about national security when it comes to fleecing US companies

Stop with that nonsense. Every single country that imports American goods has regulations on how it is imported. Your expectations are misaligned if you think the concept of a Free Market extends to other countries carte-blanche. Not even the United States can stop itself from regulating it's own businesses, and usually it's for the better.

These comments pop-up all the time but never have a reasonable alternative to suggest. This is what governance looks like; I'm sorry if you're offended on Apple or Microsoft's behalf.
That applies to a small body with two large ones, not three similarly sized planets.
Yeah. It is difficult see AI supplanting humans for the things you go outside for, but any human involvement on the internet has always just been an implementation detail.
There are cures for hiccups!?
I don't think this qualifies as entrapment. The agents were "pretending to be a hunter"; entrapment requires the crime be one "that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit".

It would've been entrapment if they'd openly said they were game wardens who needed assistance - the defense would be that they wouldn't normally help someone outside the context of a law enforcement request - but because this person would've helped a non-warden hunter in the same way, it's not entrapment.

Same deal as drug/prostitution sting operations.
Nobody thinks worse of anyone who later acknowledges they made a mistake. Hell, I personally think more of them!
Gas is being compressed, but that doesn't mean the heating is from compression.

There's a gas heater on the market that works by using rapidly moving vanes to induce shock waves in the gas. The outflow has the nearly the same pressure as the inflow, but the gas has been heated, potentially to a temperature higher than could be achieved by resistive heating elements. EDIT: I mistated this; see below for link.

Consider also that once the shock heated air around the reentry vehicle has expanded back to ambient pressure, it will be hotter than it initially was.
There is only one stable speed at which a planet can orbit in a circle; any slower, and it'll start falling in toward the star, and any faster and it'll start to move away from the star.

The only way to vary the speed is a powered orbit, and that's not likely to happen with a planet.

" src set to www.youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com. Both are official Google urls, but the former doesn't do tracking via cookies, and disables API and interaction and interaction logging. Amusingly, it's the player used on whitehouse.gov. "

Is (was) actually UNTRUE. The no-cookies URL last time I checked it should be doing it now, but I am too lazy right now. This STILL set cookies when people engaged with the embed, it just prevented automatically setting cookies and tracking with that just by loading the iframe.

Also, what about local-storage why in 2024 the talk is still about cookies? Local storage is the more modern API, and it seems many people fail to realize the all the stuff cookies do can be done with local storage and more.

I realize the whole MBA bad idea is popular right now on HN but it's worth remembering that Intel's struggles with 10nm were the result of too much engineering ambition rather than too little. The original 10nm was very VERY ambitious and if it had actually worked and had hit volume production on anything resembling the original timeline Intel would have essentially had a half decade worth of a process advantage over its competitors. Unfortunately, letting engineering go nuts can sometimes screw you just as much as letting the out of touch bean counters rule. Engineering based businesses have to manage both the engineering and the business side. Failing to do that means disaster.
That’s a great list of nice things that are easy to take for granted. While reading it, I couldn’t help but think of the “What have the Romans ever done for us” scene from Monty Python¹.

I didn’t know about Text to Speech (TTS) but personally wouldn’t have much use for it. The other things I didn’t recognise is VR. I’m guessing this refers to Firefox Reality on the Oculus Go VR Headset² (which seems to be no longer available).

There is the occasional site, but you can restrict your use of Chromium to that (and don’t need to use Chrome at all).
Very little Rust code actually does all the safety checks that you would expect a debug build of that same program to do, especially in the kernel.

You can write safe rust (check the Option<T> returned by vec.get(i)) but code like `p[0] = update_prob(d[0].into(), p[0].into()) as u8;` (https://gitlab.collabora.com/dwlsalmeida/for-upstream/-/comm...) can panic at three different places. Such a panic would become a kernel oops, which wouldn't be the end of the world but it would probably kill whatever program was trying to decode video. With additional optimisation options, the bounds checking may even be omitted entirely.

Rust does generate more accurate bounds checking warnings thanks to all the metadata it has, but that should not be solely relied upon. Rust will let you make those mistakes, but only sometimes, not usually like in old C or C++.

I think it's important to know the difference, because feeling invulnerable to these bugs may lead you to write buggy code because you stopped thinking about common C bugs entirely.

Also worthy of note is that because of a compiler bug, it's possible to leak memory and cause other weird memory bugs in perfectly safe Rust at the moment. It involves messing with lifetimes and semi-unsafe code so I doubt that bug would just sneak in, but the language doesn't make your code completely bullet proof.

If a K1.5 wanted to do that just for shits and giggles, is there a viable way to slow down or speed up orbits of rocky planets? Like, wouldn't they be shooting a bunch of mass out of their system to even attempt this? If one could build a Dyson sphere, is that more difficult or less difficult than engineering a system like this? The sphere/swarm has some absurd amount of mass all in a very uniform orbit around the sun, and most of that mass didn't start there... so it sort of seems like it's equivalent (but if so, they're much closer to K2 than K1).
As a consumer, I agree with this take. Looking at it from the other side though, many businesses simply wouldn’t exist online with opt-in. To some extent, you need to understand that companies need to make a profit and we’ve developed a market where that’s not going to be direct payments by users.
> Nowadays, there are a few somewhat junior people you keep hearing about over and over and they're usually talking about boring mainstream tools which are mostly mediocre. They're clearly being artificially pushed onto us by algorithms.

The primary audience for software influencers are either junior themselves or non-devs aspiring to join the industry. It's not the same thing that Douglas Crockford or Alan Kay were doing back in the day.

Can you open source the information structure for this "death book"? I imagine it's a common need. Of course every family is different, so over time modularity / extension should be build into the system structure.
Honestly? No. If I do it's on the order of "once in a year", and usually only sites that are doing something specifically quirky, like particular types of webgpu demos or somesuch.
Thank. You. That's exactly what is missing and that's exactly what I have mentioned in my... highly criticised comment. It just shows how pervasive the misconception is.

If you take a step back there is a simple way to think about this. In order for the object to stay up there, there needs to be equal and opposite force from some other body. What is that other body? It is the mass of air that is being directed in the opposite direction of the lift force acting on the plane.

I've been using Firefox as a daily driver for four years and have not run into a single site that was truly "unusably" broken except perhaps some Google-published tech demo for a new webgpu feature.

I've occasionally run into relatively minor visual issues (I think from before the :has pseudo-class was made generally available in FF) but I cannot think of a single instance where a site was unusable and then worked when I tried it in Chrome.

It doesn't look like it supports image generation unfortunately. If it did then I would definitely adopt this as my daily driver.
L4 and L5 are unstable unless there is an extreme, as in many orders of magnitude, difference in the masses involved.

At equal mass the separation increases until they are all equidistant from each other assuming a completely circular orbit.
No; it's the same as a drug/prostitution sting.

Most likely to get rid of the confusion between a hunter recovering a dead animal at night and poachers using a spotlight to illegally hunt
Because it would be infeasible to determine if the hunter that has a firearm found and shot the deer using the light. When using lights at night the animals are temporarily blinded and stand still, making it easier for hunters to kill them. This is generally not legal.

The situation is much less clear in the case of a hunter that does not have a firearm at hand like this case.
The point is moot. Like anything else created by an automated computer process, model weights are not protected under US copyright law. The exclusion of machine-generated works from copyright protection has been pretty well established by the US Copyright Office. In fact, going off letters and rulings recently published by the US Copyright Office[1], even the outputs of generative models are excluded from copyright protection, regardless of the amount of human skill (e.g., prompt composition, parameter selection) involved in their production.

IANAL, but at most, publishing weights with a license may amount to little more than a ToS agreement, allowing distributors a bit more leeway in managing their legal/commercial relationship with recipients of said models. In other words, breaking the terms laid out in a text file entitled "LICENSE.txt" and distributed alongside a set of model weights may constitute a breach of contract, but it is in no way a copyright violation.

My general reaction to such stories is "If law enforcement had time for this, then they're either over-staffed, or short on managers with some sense. Or maybe both."
It is likely illegal simply because everyone you caught deer jacking with a spotlight would say they were just looking for a deer they previously wounded.
Funny reference, but does not deserve to be the top reply.
The only reason websites break on Firefox for me is that I break them myself with uBlock Origin and NoScript. >:D I'd rather have them broken than put up with their repugnant bullshit. The rare time I need a site to work pristinely for some reason, I begrudgingly pull out my (mostly) vanilla Chrome though.
You convert to float, divide and then do floor, ceil or whatever.
Basically a proxy war.
I see! In the other case, the answer is: velocity vector determines the orbit. For any given point at any given orbit, there's only one valid velocity vector relative to the star (direction and magnitude) - tweaking it tweaks the shape of the orbit.

One of the best way to get an intuition for orbits is to play Kerbal Space Program for a few hours :).

Yes, fine, the more repeated the pleasure the lesser it is.
Sure we need contrast, but the absence of pleasure does not have to be pain.

Pain is a signal from your body telling you something is going awry. I don't think you to have to be in pain in order to enjoy a night with friends or a good movie.

So yes pleasure does exist in the absence of pain and trying to avoid pain is a good idea.

Now if you are talking about effort that's something else. Your body and mind are normally equipped for effort and will reward you according to the result of this effort.

We can have nice things
> and yes, they have to be all set one by one, because there is no deny-all in the spec. No doubt this spec was designed with end-users' privacy and security in mind.

In fairness that spec was designed in a much more naive time, when open SMTP servers were commonplace, along with other things that would be a security red flag these days.

Also, “designed” may be too generous a word. Back then (~96/97?) web related things were being thrown together on a whim.
