I can see the argument that allowing users to run Chrome on iPhones may hurt browser engine diversity, but I don't see how that translates to giving Google more dominance. Most alternative browsers are based on Chromium, and strip out Google shit. Even in the bleak potential future where running a non-blink browser is untenable, non-Chrome browsers will exist and stymy Google's attacks on the free web.

That's not to say that there's nothing to be concerned about; engine diversity is valuable all on its own, and Google won't stop attempting to capture the web for as long as it exists and hasn't yet succeeded. This is one of those "patient monster vs eternally vigilant guards" deals where the monster is guaranteed eventual victory unless it is destroyed or victory is rendered impossible.
I use firefox every day, and recommend it. I won't lie. sometimes things don't work exactly right, because companies largely seem to test things on chrome and call it a day.

still, those incidences are infrequent, especially given Chrome's manifest v3 changes loom large for the future of adblock.

Phantom slowdown doesn’t really happen anymore. I primarily don’t do it because of the stop sign issue and sometime some turn signaling without changing lanes.

So basically… embarrassment. I don’t mind it driving like an old person, but I’m embarrassed to be seen as driving that way.
AI-SaaS How-To Journey
I don’t follow. Phones and desktops obviously are very different endpoints.
I use Colemak on my split keyboards (qwerty on my laptop and regular keyboards) and am a vim user. I just have a layer that has all my common programming symbols on my left hand and switches the homerow on the right hand back to qwerty so I can use vim navigation and it works seamlessly.
I’ve never had a phantom brake on FSD. I know others have though… not sure what the difference is.
Apple published an official Chrome extension last year that integrates Chrome with iCloud Keychain. So that's one dump truck of dirt into their own moat.
> It's foreshadowing AI helping experts become better.

The humans are still way worse than the Go programs. People are still willing to pay them to play a game as entertainment. Are lots of people willing to pay you to do whatever it is you do even when AIs do it much better, out of sheer entertainment value & sentimentality? If they are willing to pay you in particular, how many other people like you are they also willing to pay for, and is that number much greater than or much less than the current number paid to do it?
The food is very unlikely to spoil in that time. Just don’t open the fridge.
get dry ice and put it in there. Tape the door closed because the sublimating dry ice will increase the pressure inside

9 hours isn’t too bad though. if you keep the door closed the whole time you’ll probably survive

I've seen hundreds of these sites giving "unbiased" news summaries with AI. I've made several attempts at doing this myself. I'd be more interested in learning which techniques worked well for building something like this that actually works well.

As much as I hate defending them, Apple does license out "Find My" tech, so is this really their fault?
I used Stow (some years ago) until I discovered the XDG directory spec. It can be a bit more painful on macOS, but generally enough respects it that it makes more sense to me to use it by default and fix/carve workarounds for what doesn't than to use tools like Stow to essentially put everything in the latter category.

That said, I don't imagine it was built for 'dotfiles' as everyone is and will discuss it being used for, so perhaps it does deserve to live on.
What's for Dinner?
I touch typed qwerty for about 20 years using really bad technique(full left hand two fingers on right that roamed). When I got my first split keyboard I switched to Colemak and went through a bunch of touch typing tutorials to teach myself proper form. Without switching layouts I don't think I could have forced myself to start using proper form in qwerty.
It has some neat UX ideas, and a bunch of not-so-neat ones. But look out for their privacy policy and non-existent business model. Not to mention that their roadmap is set to cram language models into every inch of the workflow. It's a real shame that there aren't more experimental browsers playing with tab management.
> If users cannot reliably use a browser for everyday tasks, they will switch and never look back.

I have a different opinion: use Firefox for basically everything. Additionally, have something like Chrome installed for those few crappy websites that don't work in Firefox, and use it only for these (and be very willing to switch away from using such websites as soon as an alternative to them appear). Additionally, be insanely vocal about how much you despise the fact that website X does not work in Firefox.

This is the behaviour of most of the nerds in my echo chamber.
It’s an old blog post from over a decade ago (2013).

I'd say GPT4 has definitely helped me become a better programmer - I'm able to ask it questions, learn how I can refactor my code better, or approach a problem in a way I might not have considered.

It does hit its limits, but it's been so useful - it's a funny cycle of training AI and having it train us, a great symbiotic relationship.
I've measured with an external, unconnected RF monitor. The cell phone shows clear activity when not in airplane mode, and then zero activity when in airplane mode.

I would be really curious to explore such correlations.

Tbh, while I was working on this, I did struggle with forming hypotheses to test, or even a suitable manifold for the different items/users (e.g., I didn't know some of the users share the PGP keys).
Unsupervised methods were not very satisfying in uncovering such hypotheses as well.

There is also the point you raised about how to share (or what to do with) some of these correlations. For example, concerning mental illness, as much as I would love to uncover that due to my sheer curiosity, I am really concerned about what I would see.
The US has had this capability for quite a while with the LCMR (AN/TPQ 48/49/50), which has been produced in large quantities (1k+, per mfg) and at least a few were in Ukraine.
If Apple hadn't stopped investing (for real) in Safari 10 years ago, maybe people would choose it based on the merits.

It would be stupid to keep "protecting" Safari when it's clear to anyone the reason why so many web features were kept back from it were precisely to keep web apps from competing with the sweet sweet 30% store tax.

I'm a Firefox daily user and will continue that until the browser becomes truly unusable, at which point I'll give Ungoogled Chromium another go.
How in Mojo do you support GPU data parallelism and all the benefits it brings ?
The railing in the 2nd half of your comment is completely absurd.

The DoJ referenced Mozilla directly multiple times throughout the suit they filed, of course Mozilla was going to end up testifying in the lawsuit. They were not "called up by Google".

And the decline of Firefox was well underway before Baker even became CEO. It was basically inevitable once they were up against the 3 richest tech companies on the planet (Apple Google Microsoft), each with their own platforms under their control and marketing budgets that Mozilla could never hope to match.

It blows my mind that people can look at how Chrome shoved their way into tens of millions of systems by paying off Adobe, Oracle, AVG, Avast and so forth to have their installers dump Chrome on people's systems and make it their default browser using pre-checked checkboxes - or how Google gave themselves free advertising on google.com by targeting Firefox users with exclusive ads - and still conclude that it must have been some kind of conspiracy that involves one of the founders of Mozilla destroying it intentionally from within.

I don't like her pay package either but you have to be delusional to think that had anything to do with Firefox losing marketshare, a trend which started a full decade earlier.
I experience the same type of issues with Spotify on my iphones. it's followed me through every Spotify upgrade and across every iPhone i've owned.
Last year during a couple month break I had between jobs I decided I would learn a new keyboard layout as it was something I always wanted to do, but never wanted to commit to the learning process while I still needed to be proficient at typing.

I chose to learn Colemak-DH [0]. Before learning I was around a 75-80 WPM Qwerty touch typist. I went all in and did a lot of heavy practice. It took me around a week to be able to touch type colemak-dh (slowly) and then a further few months to touch type at speed.

I didn't want to lose my ability to use Qwerty so after getting up to a moderate speed of ~45 WPM I exclusively brought my colemak flashed happy hacking keyboard to work, and left qwerty at home. I have now equalized at about 60 WPM on both layouts after 8 months, and can pretty easily swap between them.

Now I don't really know what to do, nor have I noticed really any perceived benefit of switching layouts. The biggest difficulty has been vim keybinds. I really don't want to have to remap all of my vim keybinds (as like the OP article states, I think of my vim commands based on their name and qwerty representation) so I have been relying on multiple keyboard layers to handle movement keys and the like. Having to use modifiers, remember the different locations between layouts, and stealing away previous CTRL+<key> modifiers from vim to accommodate this kind of sucks.

I notice no difference in wrist (dis)comfort, it's just become more mental overhead to typing, and I am kind of stuck. I guess I am waiting to have some time to think about what I want to do, but balancing two layouts doesn't seem practical, or reasonable, or efficient.

In another lifetime the data center had two of these with the APL ball on them. I started a small business typing thesis papers into the computer then printing them off after swapping out the APL ball. It was a boon to candidates, they could get pages remade as they or their advisor made changes.

I was careful to work off hours and if a legit APL user wanted time, I quickly got off. I got caught when one night I left a carton of ribbons behind and the ops manager wondered where they came from.

If you have enough advance notice, you can buy or rent a generator with enough capacity to keep the fridge alive. Place any gasoline generator outside the house! And DO NOT connect it to the home power lines. Only to the fridge (unplug it from the wall and plug it into the generator)

I live in the Sierra foothills and had a Generac installed, that runs off the home propane supply. It has run for a week during fire and storm emergencies.

I don't have the calculations at hand, but it may or may not be the case that a big battery and inverter could do the same job. Hardware stores (here) have all kinds of generators the size you need. Renting might be wise.

I just hate wasting food.

Good luck.
I'm a little skeptical about this:

- If I don't trust you with my data, why would I trust you to serve me the library I use to encrypt my data?

- I don't think it's possible to restrict parts of your JavaScript env from a server, so even if I get minibone from a CDN, check the hash, and encrypt things clientside the unencrypted stuff lives somewhere, or the server can setup hooks to grab it before I clean it up, etc.

- Apps that want "security after TLS" just encrypt it serverside, which is generally better. This is fine because your users have to implicitly trust your servers.

I'm also unclear on how key management works; is it managed serverside?

> You have to trust the server not to corrupt the JS context to exfiltrate secrets.

Yes, you do have to trust the web server(s) in that way so it isn't E2E in that sense. Though with native code E2E you need to trust the source of your app (and subsequent updates) similarly so it isn't entirely different.

You are still protected in cases where a third party attacker gains access to the data but not access to subvert the web server(s) so they send code to perform exfiltration, so there is more protection than with just TLS (or TLS plus plain encryption-at-rest).

Whether this is useful or pointless is going to be dictated by your threat model, though I'd agree it might be worth having some sort of disclaimer stating that the E2E promise might not be as solid as for other systems. Thought said promise may not be as solid elsewhere either: have you verified WhatApp's code at all? (not picking on them intentionally, just plucked them out as the first example that sprang to mind, the question is more valid with less well known services that are less likely to have any worthwhile independent checking/oversight).
> I take these projects only if the understanding is that I'll be solving a problem, taking input from all involved, rather than implementing a specific solution.

If this is the case, I would say you're not being "set up to fail", which was the explicit description the GP gave. "Set up to fail", to me, implies that whoever is tasking you is not tasking you to actually solve the problem, either because they're too clueless to know that what they're specifically tasking you to do won't work, or because there is some other hidden agenda in play.

As a random citizen that isn’t involved in these companies, I have no problem with OpenAI doing this anymore than I would with Google doing it. I don’t see why Google should have exclusive rights to use content that others have made just because they’re protected from competition (for YouTube) via network effects and anti-competitive practices. I’m okay with the actual video creators exercising rights and controls over the use of their content, but I would argue that Google should itself not just assume rights to train on YouTube data through expansive or updated terms of service. And it seems like that’s exactly what they did - quietly assume rights to train their AI models on YouTube content without any additional compensation to content creators:

> Google also gathered transcripts from YouTube, according to the Times’ sources. Bryant said that the company has trained its models “on some YouTube content, in accordance with our agreements with YouTube creators.”

> The Times writes that Google’s legal department asked the company’s privacy team to tweak its policy language to expand what it could do with consumer data, such as its office tools like Google Docs. The new policy was reportedly intentionally released on July 1st to take advantage of the distraction of the Independence Day holiday weekend.

There needs to be legislation to reign in the practices of big tech and also this increasingly common dark pattern of forcing updated terms on customers. They can get away with this due to a lack of feasible competition and their massive capital. Only regulation or taxation might resolve this issue so that control lies with content creators.
article says

> With her friend Carole Ely, she grew their company, Vector Graphic, into a major manufacturer of microcomputers

wikipedia says

> Vector Graphic sales peaked in 1982, by which time the company was publicly traded, at $36 million. It faltered soon after...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_Graphic

taking a microcomputer company from nothing to a near-billion-dollar market cap on the public markets is nothing to sneeze at. on the other hand, tens of thousands of microcomputers per year doesn't qualify as 'a major manufacturer of microcomputers'. commodore sold three hundred thousand c64s in 01982. apple broke a billion dollars in sales that year. lore harp's company had almost 4% of that. you could reasonably describe mits, imsai, commodore, apple, atari, and tandy/radio shack as 'major manufacturers of microcomputers' in that time period, but not vector. they were small fry, like heath/zenith or cromemco

this unforgivable level of puffery suggests that much of the article may be false (as valley_guy_12 points out in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39972703, this puffery is something it has in common with the company's name, even if it doesn't quite rise to the level of 'intergalactic digital research')
I took a quick peak at this last time it was mentioned and it had dozens of my own repos of unlicensed source code in it. All of that was published on GitHub and made public, but much of it has no license specified.

wow. just so, so many things that I didn't say and do not believe. Amazon fixed their DRM issues to a great extent and the gap is narrowing, Apple's Book DRM is currently unbroken, Overdrive's DRM bypass is only available via legacy versions of the app last I checked, etc.

You are the one that is asserting that 1. All DRM is inherently bypassable, which is simply not at all true. and 2. That anyone pushing for improvement is against lending, which is not true. This is what YOU are saying, not me. I am simply saying that if the IA wants to keep going (and I would like them to) they might close an unused http route. That is LITERALLY all I am asserting.
