WhatsApp has integrated AI generated stickers almost a year ago. (https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/15/23832635/whatsapp-ai-gene...) I'm not sure how much they're used globally, but there are people crazy about stickers and the quality of what I got was really decent already. There were already external apps available for this purpose for a while, so yeah, the interest is there.
As a very rough approximation, I suspect that html parsing (beyond the streaming of the data anyhow) isn't really all that fundamentally serial. After all, if you seek into an html document at some random point, you can generally interpret the html structure mostly locally, i.e. it's likely possible to subdivide the task of parsing an html document.

Given how leniently html deals with errors and that some of the parsing rules have some context sensitivity (the various modes) actually exploiting large-scale parallelism is probably a very difficult bit of engineering. Additionally, there may be corner cases that have much more context dependence than normal. Also, parsing is already probably not a huge part of a browsers runtime, and aggressive parallelism might be faster but more power hungry for a very small latency win. But I can't think of a specific fundamental limitation that prevents the normal parsing case from being quite parallelizable; I believe it's "just" an engineering problem.
It’s not the groupchat; it’s the DMs that occur in parallel. Telegram would be fine without e2ee if it had no DMs.

One problem with the LVT is the logistics of actually levying the tax. You will have to collect a lot of payments from a lot of people. And have to deal with non-payment etc.. (virtual debt collectors?)
That's assuming Apple isn't training their models on Nvidia hardware.

Inference is on Apples own silicon though.
No, buttons are not that expensive, that's silly. Cars have had buttons for ages, and they certainly weren't more expensive decades ago.

The big reason touchscreens are so favored is because they don't require that you finalize your user-interface design decisions so early in the design cycle. With physical buttons, you have to design molds etc. to have the parts ready for final assembly. What if you want to make a change? Whereas with a touchscreen UI, you can worry about UI details any time and just make changes in software, even after the car has been sold if necessary. So for the early design process, you just specify the size screen you want, and design the molds for the bezels etc.

So basically... formulas running in the cloud? Seems the best way to be stuck at every possible technical issue (ISP going down, Azure going down, whatever other reason to lose connectivity...). Let alone any considerations about privacy and data protection, for which I'm pretty sure those in charge of GDPR compliance at companies start having nightmares of cloudpythonized Excel.
In this article, I discuss the 3 classic places: home, work, and communities. Then, I share ideas about what the Fourth place actually is.

Yes, Home, Work and Communities can be combined to form cool new places for people to live, work, and grow. But everyone needs a space to think. And few people seem to actually consider that "place" as important. IMHO, they're missing out, and would really benefit from properly designing and taking care of their Fourth place.

TL;DR: The Fourth place is everywhere you think, and it can become much more valuable/powerful with a Personal Knowledge Management system.
> If you would tax the combined value of the property then people would avoid to improve the land.

But isn't it the case that currently, in most places (at least in the US), property taxes do tax the total value of the land? And yet people still build and improve houses; which would seem to contradict this thesis.
The most effective sequestration is to store carbon underground where it can't diffuse. The simplest way to put things underground is as a fluid. Some kind of fluid that's pure carbon. This pretty much just brings us back to pumping oil in reverse.

Wait, what’s the board got to do with this? Wasn’t it shareholder vote this time?
Didn't the previous owners want you to to inherit their properties? As long as they did, you must have done something to have earned this inheritance, with or without you being aware (e.g. being born to or adopted by them).

If they didn't want you to inherit them, presumably they would have done something about that.
Causing harm is illegal, "free speech!" is not a magical incantation. Would you say that a mafia boss who only issues orders is protected by free speech?
Maybe they could have offered me the choice to "uncontribute" to that project, that is transfer my commits to the admin or to another account of mine that I would create, transfer the commits to and never access again after then. Then no more 2FA for opening issues and commenting on other projects.

I wonder if I can delete my account and create it anew with the same email and (probably) a different username.
> The result? Some SaaS companies achieve gross profit margins of 75 to 90 percent, rivaling Windows in its monopolistic heyday.

Gross profit is a misleading statistic in the software industry, where almost all of the effort comes from building the thing.
> And why did politicians outsource that to the market? It's not like the industry and certain media companies lobbied for it big time claiming the market is so much better.

Still the politicians' fault if you ask me. It's in their job description to serve the public interest. And it is granted that there will be attempts to influence them.

For this, they are paid well-above the average of a person with similar qualifications, typically granted handsome pension schemes, and afforded many other protections and benefits. All, so they are not financially insecure and susceptible to influence.

If they cave to lobby interests against the public interest, they should be held accountable, and not only on election day.
That was by far my favorite part of visiting London, you could really feel and see how much of the city was still as it has been for a thousand years...just the penny rooms are now luxury flats.
> If you want to subsidize people to reduce emissions you have to go where the emissions are.

Emission is everywhere and EU can work to further reduce the emissions they have. e.g. heat pumps vs Gas heater, insulation. Also, it can be done in Africa, SEA to prevent next big wave of emissions coming from there.
The populations in developed nations are generally getting older, and people are living longer. Older people have bad eyesight for close-up things, so large-screen smartphones make a lot of sense.
The message of subsidized childcare is not generically "we value you", but "we want you to have children while you work for us", which for most employees is more important than money. Compare to companies that avoid hiring women to avoid dealing with maternity leave.
You can say the same thing about workers' rights and environmental protection laws too. Progress shouldn't be taken for granted.
That's what we need :)

... an AI, algo optimized date-success magnifier
My opinion is that the market is treating Nvidia as the shovel sellers during a gold rush. If almost every business that wants to do AI needs to buy Nvidia hardware, their sales will go through the roof.

That’s what the market is pricing into the Nvidia stock.

It is very unlikely that Apple will sell their “server” hardware to other businesses in that way. Their advantage is the vertical integration, for themselves.

While I am bullish on AAPL, I don’t expect it to have a run like Nvidia.
Feel like I hear this story a lot

Starting to think it's being over reported because it could be poorly interpted as an excuse to keep producing ocean plastic
There is still glass (and silicone?).
My aunt worked with Mary Lobel on the original Atlas (I inherited her copy) mainly as a "retirement project" - it was fascinating to see the research laid out on her table and the various sources that informed the whole exercise. Things like the details of a court case between neighbours indicated that XYZ street was 1 foot wider at a particular point than previously thought or similar findings.
I remember at the time wondering why they couldn't publish just the maps as they were fascinating (with the academic papers that made up the rest of the Atlas). Fortunately, a decade or 2 later that's what they did.
I'm sorry but that does not make any sense at all.

Nvidia's stock is surging because they sell GPUs and big companies by a lot of their GPUs to train AI models.

Apple's stock has not surged following the AI boom because they... don't sell GPUs used to train AI models.

AI is a profit center for Nvidia and a cost center for Apple (yes, people that weren't buying iPhone won't suddenly buy an iPhone because it has an AI assistant embedded).

There's absolutely no link between the two.
Indeed. And that has always been Apple’s forte.
>Cars of yore have car manuals

No, most cars of yore only had manuals available to dealership technicians, and no one else. Genuine manufacturer-made manuals were difficult or impossible to find.

Everyone else bought Haynes or Chilton "manuals" which were really done by reverse-engineering.
I subscribed to the Baffler because they write well, and to break out of my own echo chambers a bit.

Glad to see them on HN, but a bit disappointed in the response. They article is mostly correct in it’s lampooning.

Even if you disagree with points or find it ironic that they offer a subscription (btw equating producing a publication with SaaS is quite erroneous) — I think its useful to take this as a datapoint on how people outside tech see tech. That matters.

The second point just strands parts of customers on outdated versions - remember that time when loads of companies were running Excel 1997 or 2003 to their deaths to save costs?

Then anyone on Excel 2013 couldn't use any new features because they weren't backwards-compatible 10 years to some public sector organizations that refused to update.

Office 365 is so much better, I can actually send someone a file that uses LAMBDAs or uses PowerQuery and expect them to be able to open it.

> The usability is not great, too opinionated. For example, they have decided their strings are guaranteed to contain valid UTF-8.

Wait, why is that a problem? Using UTF-8 only is the closest to programmer's ideal. Basically, you turn the UTF-8 validator for Rust's str into a no-op.

> Yes. Even very simple data structures like std::vec::Vec require unsafe code

I guess this is the sort of glass half-full vs glass half-empty.
In C++ the std::vector::pop_back will forever cause undefined behavior. It's like putting razors on your screwdriver's handle, sure you can avoid them, but why not do the sane thing...
That's a pretty clickbaity headline (the one here, not the original one).

This is about a special law that allows oil companies to compensate carbon reduction requirements. Which, to be clear, is a big deal, and a major case of fraud. But the headline makes it sound like the majority of all climate efforts in Germany are fraudulent. That's... a very different claim, and not the one in this article.
Somewhere in the UK someone is working on that knife safety.
The speech/action duality, where one is pure and the other earthly, is very American. I'm really curious whether it mirrors or stems from puritan beliefs.

But no, speech isn't entirely free then. That's not a bad thing.
I appreciate the thoughtful response!

> I didn't write the above to try to dissuade anyone from choosing a FOSS software forge, merely to acknowledge that there is no obvious good choice that any given FOSS project should choose. All three of the forges that can claim to compete with GitHub have pretty substantial red flags for their long-term viability, and I can sympathize with any project deciding that they'd rather go with the simplest option.

I posted mostly to discourage this particular opinion. IMHO there is a clear choice — at the very least between GitLab and GitHub in this conversation, especially in with the F/OSS consideration.

Maybe it’s better to flip the question — what makes you trust Microsoft more than GitLab in this situation?
Idk what modern injection can do for that, but it wasn't even needed, the original solution was to use other additives instead of lead.
Hallo, fellow German here.

> The federal authorities knowingly approved the fraudulent UER projects. What's spicy is that the secretary is a green party member.

I am not under the impression that anyone has illusions about the Green party here. It is evident they are greenwashing and destroying environment (for the climate of course) among other things they supposedly "don't stand for". The reasons they get votes still is likely due to choosing the lesser evil, even if that is also untrue, or conscience. I have seen the sentiment here too, so I have no illusions that this is going to change either no matter what the Green party does.

> Über Satellitenbilder wäre einfach zu erkennen gewesen, dass einige der eingereichten chinesischen Vorhaben schon vor dem eigentlichen Baustart existiert haben.

IANAL, but getting money for projects that existed prior sounds legally actionable as fraud even. Tho the plaintiff would be the government in the end, so it might not happen anyway.
Having a small website and query the databse each time some spider comes to the wrong url can be done. But having a large website with milions of different urls, its impossible to query the DB with some similarity function.
Yup, I can see it now:

- Single tap on the roof of your mouth: play/pause.

- Tap on the inside of your upper left/right teeth: previous/next.

- Drag your tongue along the inside of your teeth: playback scroll.

- Drag your tongue on the roof of your mouth from front to back and back to front: volume up/down.

It seems very intuitive, and like it would be much more precise than any of the finger gestures we use today. My only concerns would be comfort, mistaken inputs, and impact on speech. But then again, some people wear dental jewelry and it doesn't seem so bad. :)
Okay, but is it actually good?

SurfPal: See how much time do you actually spend on each website every day.
Yes, however I'd argue that land, maybe more than other property, is one of the main property rights that government exists to enforce. If the land value tax becomes a land property rights enforcement subscription payment, maybe it makes more sense to have it be an annual payment so that the government (courts, cops, etc) makes sure others respect that you own the land.
I played 20 games and only 1 was a draw. Interesting how this ends up being so rare compared to normal tic-tac-toe,
Yeah it can. But it can also help me publish my latest gas guzzling engine generator schematics to power my farm of the latest ASIC miner running open source firmware. And thats fine since computer code shouldn't give a shit about such things.

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

> Your software must be equally usable in an abortion clinic, or by an anti-abortion organization. These political arguments belong on the floor of Congress, not in software licenses. Some people find this lack of discrimination extremely offensive!

That means open source is a tool that can be used on a gas guzzling petrol engine or the latest ASIC miner specs just as a self sustained farm software and schematics.

For me, it's overwork. I sleep badly when I work too much and worry too much. Which of course leads to vicious cycle, as bad sleep generates more problems at work. When I don't work, or work lightly, my sleep is 10/10.

it was indirectly more profitable. no child labor -> children would have no distractions for grade school -> more chldren graduate -> graduates tend to contribute more to the national economy.

At least that was the theory. Clearly private lobbyists and various interests groups who want to erode the country don't care about such factors.
RSS isn’t dead and the indie web still exists. It’s just overshadowed by the gross annoying advertiser-owned corporate web that gets all the attention.

I don’t see what MBAs have to do with that, it’s a tale as old as time: given the choice to have the same pay and more leisure time, most people will take more leisure time. The exceptions are probably mostly people doing intellectual labor, not physical labor like pouring driveways.

I think it's a reasoning like "math is fun", but for some people math is useless until become useful in some sense. Programming is something similar in that regard.

For the problems I like, programming is fun, for those I don't like, I prefer only get shit done too (like part of my job).
I notice that you try to smear Kamprad in order to set the tone in order to defend union take over of companies by force, a typical tactic of the radicals. IKEA was Kamprad's own creation, not the creation of some union bureaucrat.

The Wikipedia article, both the Swedish and the English version, is fuzzy about the details how it worked, they took the company’s own money and use that to buy the company’s shares by forcing them to sell by equity issuance. Goal was to take over private companies and create socialism.

Social democrats were reformist but became radicals during the leadership of Olof Palme. This was not the only one radical thing that they did, another was the famous Pomperipossa taxation where some Swedes payed more than 100% in taxes. This led to other Swedes leaving the country, like the famous movie maker and director Ingmar Bergman.

As I wrote in another comment, this had disastrous consequences for Sweden, large companies left and we went from a consensus culture around business and politics (Saltsjöbadsandan) to a something much more antagonistic.

This radicalized the right wing in Sweden to become neoliberal for many decades to come, which led to other negative consequences.
FWIW we were building some of the first mac graphics accelerators when we were doing the above work - 24-bit graphics were new, and too slow to be usable on the original Mac 2s (that too slow plateau) - in part it was because the software guys were pissing it away - Microsoft in particular did stupid stuff - sometimes excell would erase a window 7-8 times before it ever drew any useful pixels

Here in the UK, almost 17% (about nine million people) live outside towns and villages. A trip to the local shop can be several miles on roads that don't have pavements and public transport is of the "one bus a day" type if you are lucky. There are a few people who cycle but they're dedicated and for most it is not an option. Cars are an essential.
Mozilla shared this yesterday in the ama

Here's the statement we're sharing with the press:

In alignment with our commitment to an open and accessible internet, Mozilla will reinstate previously restricted listings in Russia. Our initial decision to temporarily restrict these listings was made while we considered the regulatory environment in Russia and the potential risk to our community and staff.

As outlined in our Manifesto, Mozilla's core principles emphasize the importance of an internet that is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Users should be free to customize and enhance their online experience through add-ons without undue restrictions.

By reinstating these add-ons, we reaffirm our dedication to:

Openness: Promoting a free and open internet where users can shape their online experience.

Accessibility: Ensuring that the internet remains a public resource accessible to everyone, regardless of geographical location.

We remain committed to supporting our users in Russia and worldwide and will continue to advocate for an open and accessible internet for all.
Seems reasonable, maybe it was just my project but it took around 3 minutes to recompile + run. I guess actually starting the application took a decent time as well.

To be fair it was 10+ years ago with a pretty crappy laptop even for the time. Hot code swap was super fast though!
