Actually, the squares are exactly the same color! The surrounding context dictates the perceived color, on top of all that wavelength-physiology we just did.//

There's a difference between a color and a perceived color?

To add to the absurdity, I don't think you can argue that the example presents the same stimulus!

Maybe the author regards the term "color" as having a meaning in the sense of common-sense, except in this sense the common-sense sense of the sense has no common sense.
Probably because it integrates with cloud AI providers, and the kind of person who uses Firefox probably has strong opinions about their browser integrating with a proprietary 3rd-party service and sending personal data to it.
When a doctor is negligent, their employer is often also sued if it can be shown that it knew shenanigans were underway and did nothing.

We have a discrete set of cones but they have continuous outputs so the space is indeed a continuum.

The 6 colors of the rainbow are arbitrary and cultural (I've always learned there are 7). There's no physiological reason we say orange is a color but dark orange isn't. We perceive more than 7 colors.

I have been using mozilla browsers pretty much since they started. Hell, I used them before mozilla started if you count netscape.

I have been quick to forgive all the bad moves they have made in the last decade, but it’s clear that they have been chasing what they think average people want. while making the overall experience worse.

I know people are saying it’s opt-in, but if it’s going to be opt-in anyway, why not just make it be a plugin?

Except for a brief stint with konqeror in 2004, this is the first time I am seriously considering switching away for my daily driver. I just have no idea what the current browser landscape looks like.
Ok, then install an extension for it? FF doesn't even come with ad-blocking yet which is useful to a lot more people.

I'd almost go as far as saying this is an A+ puzzle, it's not quite there though, so I'd have to give it an A.
It's opt-in; the "alternative" is "don't turn the feature on".

Yeah then make a Secure Enclave application for that. But ffs I am sick and tired of playing cat and mouse with every random app that whines about my phone being rooted.

I might be less angry about that if there were a decent FULL backup solution for Android - with iOS I can do a backup and restore and almost everything will be restored, I think the sole exception is eSIM and Apple Pay because the secrets for that are in the SE. But for Android? Forget it, and there's enough games that don't even implement Google Play cloud-save integration. No way to backup these without root.
There are numerous ways to identify the origin of ancient remains. FTA about the non-Denisovan remains:

>Unfortunately, the bones were in such small fragments that they were nearly impossible to identify by sight. Instead, the researchers analyzed the bone collagen using mass spectrometry to figure out what species they belonged to.
Do you really not understand that the colloquial use of these terms differ, and that most people don't even know about the FSF and OSI? On the other hand, the license has always been the law and everyone knows that. If you're just going off someone mentioning they "open-sourced" their work, not checking the license, and importing that into corporate projects, then you could end up with anything and would frankly be lucky to later find a FSL or BSL rather than something in the GPL family. Being scammed and just being dumb are two entirely different things, and you have yet to point out any real scams.

> if it’s going to be opt-in anyway, why not just make it be a plugin?

Because Firefox neutered the plugin system too much for that to be viable.

It's such a shame, too. They have added all sorts of things to the mainline browser that really should be plugins. They have abandoned the idea that the browser itself should be lean, and users should be able to add whatever bells and whistles they prefer in the form of plugins.
Firefox has 0% chance in competing with Google/Microsoft/Apple on their terms. The only chance of Firefox gaining market share is focusing on offering something unique, ideally something the big three are unwilling to offer: something that empowers the user instead of third-parties.
Ignoring a court order to pay is a little more serious than ignoring an invoice. The latter is a civil claim, I would guess the former might be criminal.

I think a more correct assumption is that you're likely interested in running games of at most the era the computer was purchased in. It'd be a shame if your 7-year-old GPU going out-of-support with a distro upgrade, meant that you suddenly become unable to run the 7-year-old games you've been happily playing up until that point.
This should be upvoted more, but I know HN prefers the binary explanations over the accurate ones in aerospace. "Hypersonic" isn't strictly defined like supersonic. Hypersonic phenomena begin to manifest at around 3 mach.

How is embedding a third party webpage in your product not an ad. Advertising multiple competing products doesn't make it any less of an ad. That's normal. Most places with advertising spots advertise multiple different things.

They way to make this not an ad would be to

1. Remove any and all branding, chatgpt should not be mentioned, hugging face should not be mentioned, openai should not be mentioned, etc.

2. Make there be no way to pay for it.

That's what they did with translation, where they embedded something actually useful and not just a webpage into the UI in a way that a browser extension easily could if people actually wanted this "feature".

https://docs.nvidia.com/dgx-superpod/reference-architecture-...

NVIDIA large GPU supercomputers have separate compute-networking (between GPUs) and storage-networking (storage to GPUs, or storage to SSD, SSD to GPUs with CPU assistance). This helps avoid networking issues, even more if not using Infiniband.

From what I read here and on your website, you don't go that route.

I'm not sure I follow the author. He seems to complain that peer review is not sufficient to counter incentives to game the h-index[1].

It sounds like the h-index has ceased to be a measure and is now a target. He doesn't explain the incentives around higher h-index(which decisions are based on h-index, which benefits does it confer), and what we might do to replace it as a target.

> If you have a technical user who is perfectly capable of self-hosting, and I would argue even gets joy out of doing so, why would that user let go of that joy and pay up?

Many years ago, I installed and managed OpenWRT on my routers, and FreeNAS on a home-built NAS. It was fun and interesting for a while, but I grew tired of the maintenance and keeping up. It had moved from hobby and became a job. I was full-time network administrator for my own house.

People are infinitely variable. Some will get a lot of fulfillment out of doing it themselves. Some will not. Some will lose interest in self-hosting, but still want your service. There might even be someone who makes an OSS version of the services that you offer for money (see SorryCypress)

Avoid getting too wrapped up in the psychology of your users.

I have found two datasets of cats wearing accelerometer, none of these contain seizures. However they would be valuable in understanding the normal activity, and the data coming from that. Especially the natural variability, since one needs to discriminate the seizures from that.
"Domestic cat accelerometer data calibrated with behaviours" (Dunford, 2024):
https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.q2bvq8...

"The Use of Triaxial Accelerometers and Machine Learning Algorithms for Behavioural Identification in Domestic Cats (Felis catus), A Validation Study" (Smit, 2023):
https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/23/16/7165
https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/R_dataframes_of_annote...

And I found one paper on real-world detection of seizures in dogs: "Evaluation of a collar‐mounted accelerometer for detecting seizure activity in dogs" (Muñana, 2020).
They conclusion was: "Generalized seizures in dogs can be detected with a collar-mounted accelerometer, but the overall sensitivity is low."
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jvim.15760
Their methodology for the model development seems generally sound. However, it does not seem like they have spent a lot of time on it, or are ML/DSP specialists. So there might be considerable room for improvement. If one could get a hold of this dataset, it might be possible to work on improving the detection method. With the goal that this would be highly transferrable to cats.

The lack of data for cat seizures is a challenge in this endeavour. However, there seems to be quite some videos of such events on Youtube. At the very least, they can be used for qualitative insights. But an idea would be to use motion tracking on the images to simulate an accelerometer, and generate a dataset from that. I have seen a paper on this kind of approach in another setting, but I cannot quite recall where to find it.

I totally agree that if run them cool enough they last forever.

but I had some bridgelux 10W that I just threw in some copper tubes on an aluminum slug with a minor affordance for cooling (some slots cut in the Al to promote convection). These ran at 80C and lasted for >5 yr at at least 80% brightness. and still the primary failure mode was the little meanwell dc/dc converters playing thermal runaway. and that whole assembly cost $10

it just has to be penny pinching at the end of the day.
> Do you have any evidence for this, or is it from intuition?

I used to interact with a large number of veterinaries, including some with an explicit interest in cat behaviour. That is the consensus I recall. Though I have no doubt that this will be a spectrum and anxious cats will be more prone to disliking the bell, but the original comment suggest multiple bells in different body parts with each new one adding to the discomfort.

As for it being annoying to the humans as well, naturally that depends entirely on yourself.

What part of this exactly do you think is not possible with a standard firefox extension? I don't see anything.

Even if I'm missing something, firefox has a history of creating new APIs to allow extensions to do things that they want done, for instance with the container tabs extension. That, frankly, is the only remotely acceptable way to incorporate branded third party AIs into the browser.

'Gay furry hackers' say they've disbanded after raiding Heritage Foundation
> The Russians have developed and used hypersonic air-to-ground missiles in Ukraine, the Kinzhal. It is very difficult to intercept a missile at these speeds, and almost impossible if the missile is maneuverable.

Speed does not make hypersonic missiles difficult to intercept. They are considerably less maneuverable than slower missiles due to the limits of material physics. The primary advantage of hypersonic weapons is that it reduces the available reaction time of the target such they may not be able to respond effectively or mount a defense. Any "difficulty of intercept" is predicated on there not being enough time to execute the intercept after the missile is detected. US air defense systems have very low reaction latencies by design, as demonstrated in Ukraine.

I am unclear why anyone thinks Russia is ahead in this field, beyond their penchant for marketing ballistic missiles like Kinzhal as "hypersonic". The US has been building and testing hypersonic weapon systems longer than most people have been alive. Unlike Russia, the US requires hypersonic missiles to have precision terminal guidance, which is an extremely difficult engineering problem within the atmosphere. It took decades for the US to figure out how to reliably deliver terminal guidance for hypersonics.
As an aside, I am curious about something. I've recently been working with a contractor and I've had to make payments at various stages along the way (10% up front, 20% after framing, 20% after drywall, etc...). Do software freelancers do the same? That way, if nothing else you get _some_ money?

My gut instinct / guess is that there's "stuff" in the brain that is a kind of system for doing the kind of thing that symbolic logic systems do: proposition management, unification, backtracking, etc. And I think this stuff is probably there from a very early age.

Also, generally, while humans can be really bad at reasoning, when they're shown why they're wrong they're able to retrace their steps and fix -- assuming they're not emotionally attached to some outcome. I'm terrible at math, but if I slow down and have it explained, I'll get it (and then forget it.) LLMs... they don't work that way. Tell them how they're wrong or to explain how they got to some result... forget it, they can't retrace and fix.

I don't use reader mode to begin with.

Absolutely -- that's what I currently do. I don't keep my bookmarks in the browser, because I want to be able to access them from any browser from anywhere. So I use an independent bookmark server instead. Adding a new bookmark takes three clicks (four if I have to manually browse to my server first).

It's a minor inconvenience that the benefits more than compensate for.

> Consider the money lost, and if you win, it's just bonus.

I think this is the most important part of the advice. Treat it like a gambling budget that you can lose without feeling bad about it. I know that’s harder to do retroactively than setting aside $200 in chips to play cards, but start adjusting your finances now for that possibility.

I was in this position only once and the person who ripped me off got away with it because the amount of my time spent was small enough that it wasn’t worth pursuing, so I’m not a great example of success in this area. But I’m still mad about the fact that I was treated that way and switching to an “it’s gone” mindset helped me process my emotions about it. My anger is now principled rather than emotional.
