While I’d never personally use Chrome, you can describe this in another way too.

“Chrome supports draft standards like webUSB, which more and more hardware tools and platforms have started to adopt to enable being able to support users regardless of platform, without needing to design native apps for them.”

You can argue this is good in other ways too, it means that instead of a potentially invasive hardware application for something you might configure or update once, you are using something heavily sandboxed that has to request permissions for anything outside the normal. Another benefit is that depending on what the hardware device is, suddenly these hardware devices can be configured on platforms like Linux and FreeBSD, where vendors are much less inclined to support or cater to natively.

Say what you want about draft standards, but Firefox not playing ball and adopting commonly used ones is a massive miss on its part that hurts its ability to be competitive.
> The difference between Theranos and OpenAI is the later has created a product which, while imperfect, does something.

I didn’t think it was a fair comparison at first either, but based on this standard it actually might be. Theranos absolutely made something. It had a device that took blood and gave back results. The fraud was that the results were “imperfect”.
@sgonz That state results in ketoacidosis, which is fatal.
I think Aurora has to go through the same development process as every database. They changed essential patterns in the database, and there are severe side effects that need to be addressed. You can see the same with Aurora Serverless and the changes in V2; there were some quite quirky issues in the first versions.
They didn't say JavaScript has system access, just that it can be used to spy on users (in the browser, and everything seems to be moving to the browser).
“Amazon Aurora Serverless is an on-demand, autoscaling configuration for Amazon Aurora. It automatically starts up, shuts down, and scales capacity up or down based on your application's needs.”
Keto influencers? My doctor recommended it for weight loss and it’s probably saved my life. You’re being pretty negative because of your once experience on something that does help people and does have results.
True-ish (IANAL).

But the DC full of GPU's that's crunching its way through the training data ain't cheap. Ditto its electric bill. Ditto other stuff, probably.

And Big Tech has a history of changing the game's rules, to optimize their moats.
Nobody cares about Hunter Biden’s laptop. It’s the biggest nothing-burger ever. If it actually detailed any corruption, then it would have pursued in court by now. It’s always been a complete waste of time.
Don’t you produce ketones any time you can’t get enough energy from carbohydrates?

I can't edit now, but to add/clarify... When I say no risk - I really mean it. I have receipts. I was a shut-in before it was cool. I participate in society only as much as I have to - employment, bills, voting, whatever.

To be direct: I don't generally go out and do things. I sleep, work, and pay. Complete subsistence.

My frustration comes from the imposition when I've already moved myself so far away, in every sense.

To be sporting I contracted it/recovered before the vaccine. As you can probably tell, I'm not worried about my own outcome. It wasn't that bad.

I could've handled the immaculate infection received in isolation. Without that, and being pulled back into society for the jab, I couldn't have infected anyone.

The point is plenty of us couldn't opt out, when really, we could - with the powers that be having the slightest bit of grace, tact, or whatever.

That's the problem. It was ham-fisted. That's politics. Once objectified, reason went out the window. End of.

An excellent case for the road to hell being paved with good intentions. This isn't singular; others and myself have all told 'nitwit005' similar stories.
HN is like Reddit, people will repost old things that aren't theirs until the end of time.
This statement is for investors and managers, not customers. Customers don't typically read statements filed with the SEC.

> Seems weird to switch to develop faster and complain about people conflating the two aspects when this thread is clearly talking about runtime performance, triggered by the benchmark claims

It doesn't look to me like GP switched to develop and complained of conflation. The switch happened higher up the thread by wood_spirit, and GP just continued the conversation (and called out the tendency to conflate, without calling out a specific person).

On a meta note, I wish this trend of saying "it seems weird" and then calling out some fallacy or error would die. Fallacies are extremely common and not "weird", and it comes off as extremely condescending.

It happens quite frequently on HN (and surely other places, though I don't regularly patronize those). So to be clear, this isn't critcism levelled at you exclusively. (I even include myself as target for this criticism, as I've used the expression previously on HN as well, before I thought more about it).

Firstly, in this case and in most cases where that expression is used, it's actually weird to call it weird[1]. Fallacies, logic errors, and other mistakes are extremely natural to humans. Even with significant training and effort, we still make those mistakes routinely.

Secondly, it seems like it's often used as a veiled ad hominem or insult. It's entirely superfluous to add. In this case you could have just said "you complained about people conflating the two aspects and then conflated them yourself." (It still wouldn't have been correct as GP didn't conflate them, but it would have been more direct and clear).

Thirdly, it comes off as condescending[2]. It's sort of like saying, "whoa dude, we're all normal and don't make mistakes, but you're weird and do make mistakes." In reality, we all do it so it's not weird at all.

1: of strange or extraordinary character : ODD, FANTASTIC
2: of, relating to, or caused by witchcraft or the supernatural : MAGICAL

[2]: The irony of this is not lost on me. I can definitely see how this comment might also come off as condescending. I don't intend it to be, but it is a ridiculously long comment for such a simple point. It also included a dictionary check which is also frequently a charactersitc of condescending comments. I don't intend it to be condescending, merely reflective of self-analytical, but as is my theme here, we all make mistakes :-)
I've found the opposite. When users feel like a lot of work has gone into something, they'll restrict their critiques to minor elements that seem easy to change because they are worried about causing you too much rework. Putting it in a sketch format makes it seem like it was easy to generate and gives them much more freedom to make more radical suggestions.

The key though is you also have to present them at least 2 - 3 very radically different versions of the same thing.

Each tool has a different purpose at different parts of the design stage. When I'm in blue sky ideation phase, I don't want users to be thinking about colors and proximity (although I do, even at that stage, care deeply about information hierarchy and hate sketch tools that make information heirarchy hard to design for). It's when I'm more in the narrowing down stage that I'll move to more higher fidelity tools.
This is much better, thanks. I’m far more convinced now.

It won't work -- putting aside the phosphates, it's a totally different formulation, because restaurant dishwashing machines run for 2-4 minutes, rather than 30-60.

On the other hand, if you searched online, I'm sure you would be able to find the exact type of phosphate that was removed from dishwasher detergent, where to order it independently, and in what proportion it could be mixed together with modern dishwasher detergent powder, to restore the sparkly clean dishes you might have grown up with. You would also want to research the legality of such, as well as whether it would actually have any environmental impact or not where you live.
wp-env is a good option too.

Good question.

I should make a ranked list.

In regards to programming, my top 30 would include:

ScrollSets: https://breckyunits.com/scrollsets.html

RegEx.

The dataflow paradigm as popularized by dplyr would be on there.

This is absolutely true. The magical "write a model, get an app" approach is so tempting. But it's focusing on the wrong problem - optimizing for the initial tutorial experience, not the lifecycle of a production app.

That initial scaffolding takes, what, an hour or two? Getting that down to a minute or two is not a high priority, considering 99.9% of the lifecycle of the app is dominated afterwards by what that structure allows. Coding yourself into a corner on purpose, just to save a few minutes on launch, is a strange tradeoff.

I know because I've made that tradeoff dozens of times and cursed myself every time. I built a web framework that did auto UI based on Django models, postgres and jquery. It was active 2010-2014 and I built dozens of production apps with it. That initial "wow" factor of going from a model in your head to a full user interface is very compelling! I did live demos with clients where we'd code up a model and launch a site in real time. Cool, right! The problem was the structure only fit certain types of applications and as we stretched it into adjacent domains, we had to break it down and effectively "eject" from the framework, making each instance a custom app - which is what we should have started anyways.
There's more at http://tromp.github.io/cl/cl.html including the LispNYC talk I gave last year.
There are also just fashions with such things--I've seen a lot of cycles between the early 2000s and today--as well as a lot of variation among companies and between individual roles at companies. In some cases, a senior developer is sort of the public face for a new technology they've been involved with and promotong.

It's perfectly reasonable for someone not interested in doing this sort of thing to push back--they won't do a good job anyway if they're being pushed to do it. Others get a lot of recognition by writing and speaking. I'm not even sure the hiring pipeline is that big a part of the rationale.
It's perhaps more accurate to say sugars and simple carbs are easy to absorb whereas fats and complex carbs are harder to absorb. A single gram fat is the most calorie dense substance by weight that we can consume I think. It's just in practice it's hard to become fat by consuming only excess fat.
Have you tried io2 in this context? Did not have the chance yet.

> Giant versions of the lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles are also being deployed on the grid, but they’re too expensive to do the job alone.

It seems unwise to state this as if it's an unchangeable law of nature when battery prices have dropped by 97% in the last three dacades. And, solar plus batteries probably beats pumped hydro on various axis, including cost, in most of the world today.
Thank you !

I love pocketbase it is a really enjoyable product, very neat. Manifest can be seen as a different approach, using code rather than UI.

Yes the "hook part" is tricky to consider as I am scared that I will have to trade-off some simplicity in order to cover more features/use cases.
I use https://nouswise.com/ to search through my documents. It has a simple UI/UX with no sidebar.
We have already seen in the last few years that "fake news" and "misinformation" of today has a reasonably high probability of becoming "verified news" and "factual information" of tomorrow. Of-course the "fact-checkers" and "misinformation experts" rarely correct themselves or apologize for their censorship.
Which one do you recommend?

The first one I found was "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"

I understood what you wrote. Your logic and interpretation is off, why you don't understand what I said.

Thanks for the ad hominem and being too lazy to engage except to tell us that indirectly, clearly "not worth my time" either - so let's say it's mutual - if you're arrogant enough to think the unreferenced "conspiracy theories" I've brought up have no truth or validity to them - you must clearly know better, especially with how much effort you put into things. /sarcasm

And if you're referencing the Twitter Files "conspiracy theories" - here you go, enjoy, but I doubt you have the patience to actually "dive" into it, or even bother to lookup the US senate hearings on the issue:

https://twitterfiles.substack.com/ - Matt Taibbi's articles on it, one of the journalists Elon Musk gave access to Twitter's data including their staff communications/emails with the FBI et al.
It sounds dumb, but honestly modern browsers feel way closer to the JRE than they did things designed to fetch and render sites.

> It's not a bias, they crossed every line possible. My browser is not supposed to with my requests, ever. No excuses. They considered it a good choice at the time and I will keep reminding people every time brave comes up.

All this rage is pointless. The issue is literally on GitHub and was created by Brave's engineer himself. Fixed and merged on day 1, in the nightly, even before anybody ever found it. So all your points are just biased and not worthwhile to discuss.
I think Sonos sued the heck out of Google for doing this with Google Home speakers. They won the jury trial but then a judge invalidated their patents https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/10/23910694/sonos-google-pa...

Probably not an easy thing to do to begin with (there are papers on the algorithms involved, last I checked) and the specter of big audio companies coming after you isn't fun either.

We could value work more independently of its contribution to enrich an employer/board/funder (lots of important work is done through volunteering) and build a sufficient social net that unemployment isn't a problem. With all the productivity gains we made over the last few decades, we could possibly even have no unemployment, if everyone was employed fewer days per week at a full time salary. But we don't want to share the added value we're producing with everyone, do we? We make the choice to prioritize shareholder revenue growth over avoiding catastrophic unemployment.

A mirror that strips out the branding does. And the way Redpanda is treating their trademark would make me extremely nervous about using software with their branding in it, so that alone is a good reason to start a soft fork.
I'm thinking of UI elements that are often half-implemented in JavaScript but also exist natively nowadays, such as sliders. What kind of thing are you thinking of?
This is a bit of a tangent but it’s a thought experiment that I recently heard:

Data pipeline A is written and maintained by a team in a type safe language with extensive unit tests.

Data pipeline B be was written long ago by a scientist who has since left, in sql in a day.

Both compute the same dataset, but B gets the answer correct.

Which is the better pipeline, and why?
I wish i could read about this 'honeymoon' effect, it's so strange.
I have a bit different workflow:

- in first step I "tag" urls I like (in rss reader, HN, twitter, pdfs, podcast...). It is very quick, I usually spend like 2 hours per week filtering news.

- latter I collect tagged urls (from email, notes and bookmarks) and feed them into batch job

- batch job downloads text form, and converts them into markdown. HTML are converted with Reader mode, videos have transcripts with time marks...

- this gets converted into new Obsidian vault and synced with Syncthing across my devices.

- there is AI job that does some annotation and linking with existing notes.

- over next weeks (usually two) I slowly "digest" content, read it, and annotate. At end it becomes integrated into my Obsidian notes. I can copy&paste and write directly into articles.

It is very natural process for learning. I spend minimal time dealing with junk content, clickbait, ads... And it works for all types of content including video and PDFs. And offline absolutely rocks!
The laptop found in the computer store of a blind guy containing a copy of Hunter Biden's iCloud was fake, yes.

The prosecutor in the case against him did recently claim it was real without providing new evidence of that. In the same document, he claimed a picture of sawdust on a table saw was a picture of Hunter Biden doing cocaine.

(Other stories about "Ashley Biden's diary" were also faked, though by different people, and faked in different ways.)
Do you have that and your usage data from before he took it over to compare?

Have you written to Twitter-X support yet to complain?

Maybe someone's fucking with you specifically and signed you up to some service to harass you?

> There are times when I truly need windows for something so I keep it around on a spare HDD to boot into it.

That's the problem. Most Linux users need Windows for something. I use mostly Linux, but I also have a Windows boot partition. For things like gaming, Fusion 360, VR,... Some things don't work that well on Linux: YouTube sometimes gets out of sync, print quality is really bad,...

On the other hand, I don't really need Linux, except for jobs that involve Linux specifically, and these are pretty technical jobs, far from a typical use case for non tech workers. And even with such tech jobs, >90% of these cases could be dealt with with WSL.

There is a video by LinuxTechTips where he tries to go 100% Linux, he is relatively successful but it is painful. I love this video because I think it is representative of the experience of a computer-savvy consumer.

On the other hand, if auto-restarts are a real problem to you, you are probably not a typical user. For most, it is an annoyance, but not really a problem, and it can be important for security. I don't really mind them personally, except that my dual-boot machine restarts on Linux (the default) when Windows does that, with the update process paused half way, annoying.

It's almost certainly the code that changes.

That's easy to program and is very common in apps that produce scannable QR codes that they don't want duplicated, that will only work for the next e.g. 60 seconds.

Any animation that could reliably be picked up by a scanning camera would necessarily be quite visible to the user. Just think of how QR codes often don't even work until you increase your phone's brightness, and they're as high-contrast as you can get...

'your backend is just files' seems like an idea that is due

in the oss self-host world, countless things that are just file servers (with some sugar) are far more difficult to host than they should be: immich, nextcloud are examples. standard notes is an extreme example, its compose.yml is like the vhs tape from the ring

same in closed in-house backends; at best people store some static files in s3, but we use databases way too much

'your files contain entities' vs 'your files are entities' is a split; this project is the former but I kind of want the latter

also permissions is kind of the hard part as other posts have mentioned here

I appreciate the anecdote.

The distinction I’d draw is that email was a push model, but today it’s platforms that decide what we see. If platforms wanted, I think it’d be trivial for them to make a setting for their users to filter out politics/outrage/whatever

For example Reddit will (unprompted) put links to videos of police brutality on the home page when I’m not part of that subreddit.
