From my limited experience of Firefox-as-a-project, coming from the side of Thunderbird:

* Firefox is effectively not a community project. It seems to be ruled with an iron fist by the commercial side of the operation.

* Firefox broke its extensibility - which was the whole rationale of the Mozilla project to begin with.

* Lots of telemetry and call-home mechanisms, so much so that it is difficult to opt out even if you want to - in Thunderbird, and I believe also in Firefox; see : https://superuser.com/q/1672309/122798 (but correct me if I'm wrong and it's an app-specific thing).
What’s “stale” about the S/X, which were refreshed relatively recently, and which are still untouchable in terms of performance? The interior is wholly different from the original Model S/X and the exterior still looks great, all these years after the original release.

Why must a manufacturer change a great design just to satisfy the subset of customers who have an irrational need for annual novelty?

Surely the sales figures for the 3 and Y speak for themselves.

Tesla is not stagnating. It continues to dominate.
The main downside outside of increased risk for space debris is that Starlink is messing with weather prediction/measurement. Apparently the satellite dishes they use register on weather reports as permanent rain spots[0].

When you have production at a power station, your problems only start. You need to carry that power somewhere, and it takes time.

Also, you have to upgrade every path between the power station and your data center. It's not like flicking a switch. Your standard power budgeting doesn't take a multi-megawatt data center into account when it's first made.

And power budgeting is not on paper only. It affects from power generation schedules, demand curves, infra planning, etc. It changes literally everything.

Here we are on a technology startup site; you'd think that if anyone had the vision for new nuclear power, it would be here, but it always seems like the comments are calling for someone else to do it.
Back pain, more often than not, is caused by postural issues and your body using the wrong muscles, or aligning the spine wrong, putting undue stress on some parts of it instead of distributing it more evenly.

Yes, walking is protective and beneficial, but if your posture is bad enough, your body is going to engage in the same compensations and it can worsen your pain and hurt you. See a physiotherapist, or at the absolute least watch some postural restoration content on YouTube - most often, people have weak deep abdominal muscles, glutes, and hip internal rotation.
> ruling was mostly not about board's competence but based on judge's opinion that during original vote the shareholders weren't properly informed about things

That second bit of analysis never kicks in if Musk isn’t a “controlling shareholder.” Put another way, the ruling wouldn’t have been legal if the Board were deemed competent.

The Court found “Musk was the paradigmatic ‘Superstar CEO,’ who held some of the most influential corporate positions (CEO, Chair, and founder), enjoyed thick ties with the directors tasked with negotiating on behalf of Tesla, and dominated the process that led to board approval of his compensation plan,” thereby concluding “Musk controlled Tesla” [1].

This means the Court no longer defers to the company, but must decide if “the compensation plan was entirely fair.”

> it is unprecedented as in "there's no similar ruling in Delaware history"

What are you quoting?

In any case, you’re correct: the entire fairness doctrine has only needed to be applied by Delaware thrice before, in the 1980s [2] and then 2022 [3]. The novelty remains in Tesla’s closely-construed Board.

Yeah, giving in to our low level desires without doing some high level reflection on it is the easier thing to do. And statistically it is inevitable that at least some people some of the time act on it, so indeed maybe we should throw out the baby with the bathwater and all act that way so we don't get labeled a "sourpuss" when we talk about responsibility.

Look, I'm not arguing against backup options here. I'm just saying people should be as responsible as reasonably possible.

Edit: it's good that this exists. However, anecdotally: I know some promiscuous people and none of them are on prep. Some don't use protection at all because they are gay and there is no risk of pregnancy for them. When one person acts this way, it's their problem. When many people act this way, having sex at all becomes riskier for everyone. Recently, STDs have been on the rise. People just want to have fun and not feel bad about anything. They think they're the exception or something. And if you dare say something about it, you get called names like "sourpuss" or worse.
If you look carefully, the numbers are not nearly as convincing. The article (the real one, from Automotive, from which the numbers are quoted) is behind the paywall, but even the visible portion indicates that the pickup in sales is in response to major factory rebates, often in excess of $10k.

This might be not be a pickup in interest in EVs, but a factory fire sale as they adjust to demand shifts. My 2c.
No problem at all.

No, he isn't saying that. The context was "children are taught why Nazis are bad but now people are voting for Nazis" and his response was to say people were brainwashed to defend going against their interests.

He may not be saying this to imply that the Nazis would have been acting in the interests of the voters but that's what the notion that teaching children Nazis are bad is brainwashing (to allow the government parties to go against the interests of their voters) strongly suggests. Couple this with a comment history of being vocal against "economic refugees" and a German political context of the AfD heavily using migrant scares in their rhetoric and it's entirely legitimate to challenge this statement.

It's also worth mentioning that AfD politicians have not only defended the SS but also loudly complained about Holocaust remembrance and downplayed the extent and significance of the Holocaust.

Your reply completely ignores that he deliberately used the word "brainwashing" which the comment you replied to called out. Intentionally or not, your reply demonstrates a motte-and-bailey (the bailey being that teaching about the Third Reich is brainwashing, the motte being the content of your reply).

February 2014 Moscow invaded Ukraine, occupied Crimea, "referendum" under occupation month later.

12.04.2014 Moscow occupied Sloviansk, started war on east Ukraine, "referendum" under occupation month later. 17.07.2014 MH17 shot down by Moscow Buk.

February 2022 Moscow occupied Kherson, "referendum" under occupation half a year later, faked 87% "support".

Ukraine was neutral by constitution before Moscow invaded in 2014, majority of Ukrainians were against joining NATO, many favored economic ties with Moscow, many schools and universities performed education on Moscow language. Moscow violated Friendship Treaty (2004), Ukraine borders it recognized, Budapest memorandum (1994). How exactly occupation, annexation of friendly country is "complex subject"?
I moved to the Netherlands last week. I was paying $120 a month for 100 mbps with Spectrum. New customers paid less and got more. I complained and explained that was hardly fair since I had been a customer for 15 years at the same address. They said I was welcome to cancel my service for 3 months and re-activate.

I now pay €67.50 for 4gbps up / 4gpbs down. I'm actually getting those speeds and the day I arrived service was already turned on. I just had to ride my bike down to the post office and retrieve my modem.
I feel like you get in trouble if you just bootstrap a nuclear plant.

This is typical VC masterbation.

1. This list is tiny. They have pass on 10000 more companies than the ones on this list. Most of that passing was done correctly

2. VCs rightly over-index on the big winners. The Facebooks and Airbnbs of the world are completely outsized in terms of one key thing: how much money they make for the GPs and LPs. However, as builders, we should not focus on these because they are few and far in between and you don't need to be a founder of one of these to have a life changing event. You just need a good 7 or 8 figure exit. VCs don't make money on an 8 figure exit so they train us to go big or go home. This webpage is another piece of that propaganda.

It's actually pretty simple: Nuclear is very expensive, takes ages to build, and is very inflexible. That's why the share of nuclear energy is declining globally. It has nothing to do with safety concerns or "treehuggers". It's simply economics.

What a coincidence, I was actually just searching for a tool that would convert conference talks into blog posts. Since I learn faster through reading than listening, I thought that such a tool would let me absorb the information from each talk in a half or a quarter of the time.

I found this, videoticle.com (gives just one screenshot + raw transcript), videogist.co (keeps erroring out), and some commercial tools (couldn't be tried without paying first).

Here's some feedback, since you asked. I tested your tool on one of my favorite technical talks, Linux Memory Management at Scale <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZZWAsBI_zY>, resulting in <https://vi-su.app/QZZWAsBI_zY/summary.html>. It was very easy to use, worked on the first try, and took shorter than I expected to generate the summary.

Unfortunately, I don't find the result useful. The summary is mostly vague generalities like "Clarifies common misconceptions about reclaimable memory", "Explains the role of swap in memory management", and "Discusses the limitations of the OOM killer". It's actually less detailed than the text on the slides, so it doesn't provide extra value over just running a scene detection tool on the video to get one screenshot per slide. All the technical details, which are the reason I like the talk so much, are missing: the difference between kswapd and direct reclaim, why the kernel OOM killer won't save you (it runs as a last resort, which can be a double digit number of minutes after your system has become unresponsive), why Facebook shifted from using memory limits to memory minimums (minimums compose better), why they prefer btrfs to ext4 (the ext4 journal causes priority inversions when used with cgroup priorities).

I was looking for something that would preserve all the detail in the talk and could reliably work as a replacement for watching it. My ideal UI would be two columns: on the left, there would be screenshots, and on the right, there would be a full transcript, just cleaned up so that it reads well: ums, ahs, hellos, and thank yous removed, sentences rephrased to be more concise, everything divided into sections and paragraphs.

Regardless, thanks for posting. I'm glad that people are working on tooling like this.
The biggest problem is that a new power plant takes 10 years to build. So even if everyone agreed on the need, we’d have to wait a long time before it solves the problems we have today.
Good. Now we can shut it down lol

Sorry you had that experience. I used 3.5 Sonnet last night to merge two Python files and remove a "fake" loop I had made to simulate an activity and replace it with an actual loop to do what I wanted. It not only got it right on the first try, but saved tokens by telling me in the comments where to get the boilerplate and paste it into its generated code. I was impressed, at least.
Ask yourself why they chose to publish this list.
More aggressive layout of solar is the best thing to do. I don't agree with all the pro-nuclear sentiment after Fukushima. It's like nuclear is always safe "now", don't consider any previous disasters.

Thank you. I was thinking of feedback from people experienced in some complexities of backpacking / camping. In the past, I helped people traveling to Tibet and close to El Chalten [1] with GPS, batteries, solar cells, and weather schedule and redundancy, since if you don't organize yourself precisely like a "military campaign" something could fail that could be prevented with an engineering process.

> The ruling was mostly not about board's competence

Because showing that was so trivial that it barely needed to be done. People working directly for Musk asserted they had no financial ties to him or any of his companies. The board fucked up within the first few lines of legal boilerplate of the agreement.

The remainder was trying to find out if anything within the agreement wasn't tainted by the boards fuckery.
Yeah ok but at least in 10 years we’ll still need more energy. It’s not like our energy use is going down anytime soon.

I think this is a great point. The majority of my browsing uses text oriented sites (some think they are more, but I read them in reader mode). As I user, I rarely want more. I'd use a slim, secure browser if I could.

Sometimes I play games, or use "web apps" and using a different tool in those instances would be fine. Back in the early 2000s I remember using Firefox with an "open in IE" extension that allowed me to primarily use FF and fall back to IE when sites were broken. As websites modernized I used the extension less and less.

Also consider desktop apps that use election. Bundling a simpler browser and building the app to the capabilities of that browser could greatly reduce install size and memory usage.
Oh nice, I knew of Cloudflare and Mozilla only, I'll take a look at the whole ecosystem again soon.
> proper Art.

That’s not a real thing. There’s no single definition for what art is as it’s a social construct. It depends on culture.

> anything that can run process can make art

Again without a definition of art, this makes no sense. Slime mold can run processes, but it doesn’t make art as art is a human cultural phenomenon.

> the production of ideas that are truthful and important

What does “ideas” and “important” mean?

To an LLM, there are no ideas. We humans are personifying them and creating our own ideas.
What is “important,” again, is a cultural thing.

If we can’t define it, we can’t train a model to understand it

> yes we can abstract from instances to patterns and rules.

What? Abstraction is not defining.

> we do not need to describe them in detail

“We” humans can, yes.
But machines can not because thought, again, is a human phenomenon.

> world model

Again, what does this mean?
Magic perfect future prediction algorithm?

It seems to me that you’ve got it in your head that since we can make a computer generate understandable text using statistics that machines are now capable of understanding deeply human phenomena.

I’m sorry to break it to you, but we’re not there yet. Maybe one day, but not now (I don’t think ever, as long as we’re relying on statistics)

It’s hard enough for us to describe deeply human phenomena through language to other humans.

If you only care about the current citizens'/government's opinion, you actually can ignore history leading up to that point. Geopolitics is complicated, however, and I think most people would bring more nuance to any moral judgment. What if a large portion of the previous population was killed/driven out, for instance? What if the citizens are subjected to "brainwashing"?

I do have to disagree on the notion that a government should have a historical or traditional basis to be legitimate. In my eyes it needs foremost the support of its "subjects". In reality, different factors make a stable government, but legitimacy is ultimately a value judgment.
Sure. I (mostly) knew all that. I was specifically asking why you said "thy are full of n-gons" - my understanding of the terminology seems to be different to yours in that "n-gons" means "5 or more sides on a face". i.e. not a tri or a quad.
Not to mention the pandemic of disease being caused by highly processed foods. The damage being done at a global scale is hard to quantify.

No perfect analogy for this. One of the many I have used over the years is to have someone imagine driving their car on the highway while pressing on the accelerator all the way down, as far as it will go. To control speed, use the brakes. And then, when the inevitable happens, we blame the brakes.

That's what's happening to billions of people. Except for corner cases, obesity is 100% caused by toxic nutrition. The same statement holds for type 2 diabetes.

In the US, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is complicit in that they do nothing to prevent what could be characterized as poisonous food from entering the market.

I think I can say that most food found at a supermarket is horrible stuff that will hurt you over the long run. Let's put it this way: Drugs require prescriptions because, among other things, they would be dangerous to consume freely, without a real medical reason to have them. If you read the ingredients in most food items sold, given what the consequences, it would be easy to wonder why this stuff doesn't require medical supervision to consume.

And then we blame vitamin D? C'mon. It's the brakes, not the engine going full throttle down the road. Right.

The OP posted:

> but as income taxpayers we only pay around half of that, or around $36.40 per American

I'm saying using half is incorrect because the ratio isn't as simple as the OP assumed. The correct figure would be 60%, or $43.68 per _citizen_, this because a large chunk of your taxes go elsewhere, and because business pays so very little.

Anyways.. it's a parsimonious point about how taxes are intentionally obscure and widely misunderstood and miscalculated.

there is a second side to this medal.

Those companies dont give a flying f** about you or your snow.

They want to create autonomous taxi for a city and monopolize the public transport.

They might be producing PR materials about private self driving cars. But they don't want that, its silly. They want to own all cars and rent them to as many people as possible.

To me the whole argument is a pointless.
You can probably tell it that you want it to give all the code; on my test project with 3.5 Sonnet last night, it recognized where boilerplate setup code was and just told me to copy it, saving me a fair amount of tokens/money so I was not unhappy with that result.
Reworded, your claim is that RN developers are getting smarter over time, need to search less, and that new developers don't have questions, they just figure it out .. and some mix of reasons like this are why the RN searches are going down.

So, I'm not holding my breath on service plans standalone being $30/month, just an add-on for existing residential subscribers.

I did try to ask for clarity from Starlink about buying a unit standalone in the future and they accidentally revaled "Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Panama - Mini available for purchase with Mini Service or Mobile - Regional Service plans", which heavily implies that in the future buying the Mini only would require a $150/mo regional package (or again, buying residential + mini package).
