Playwright is basically necessary for scraping nowadays, as the browser needs to do a lot of work before the web page becomes useful/readable. I remember scraping with HTTrack back in high school and most of the sites kept working...

For my project (https://frankendash.com/), I also ran into issues with dynamically generated class names which change on every site update, so in the end I just went with saving a crop area from the website as an image and showing that.
It's a scary thought to me that 90% of online videos are hosted on YouTube. If Google were to ever fail, I know that won't happen, but I think the internet would be truly broken if for any reason YouTube is down.

> But the real question is, given that Google has around 90% of the search market share, and so has around 90% of the available user data, is the advantage it gives them so unfair that it should be illegal?

In the U.S. it’s not illegal to be a monopoly but to use your monopoly position to prevent competitors from entering the market. (This is why it’s not illegal for a small town to have a single gas station, for example.) If 90% of users freely choose to search with Google that’s fine from a strictly legal point of view. The U.S’s case was that Google was coercing that choice by bidding extremely high amounts to be the default search on web browsers, thus hindering competitors from entering the search market.
I used a very similar glitch about a year ago. Mounting torrent while climbing up a rock could cause you to become immune to gravity. If you walked toward other inclines, you'd get pushed up higher and higher. It was a way to skip the Rhold lift and reach the Mountaintops of the Giants early.
> Hallucinations in LLMs are...

Frankly, hallucination as used with LLMs today is not even really a technical term at all. It literally just means "this particular randomly sampled stream of language produced sentences that communicate falsehoods".

There's a strong argument to be made that the word is actually dangerously misleading by implying that there's some difference between the functioning of a model while producing a hallucinatory sample vs when producing a non-hallucinatory sample. There's not. LLMs produce streams of language sampled from a probability distribution. As an unexpected side effect of producing coherent language these streams will often contain factual statements. Other times the stream contains statements that are untrue. "Hallucination" doesn't really exist as an identifiable concept within the architecture of the LLM, it's just a somewhat subjective judgement by humans of the language stream.

> Change the pronunciation to C.O.Q.

> People might not adopt it

Well, people were made to pronounce "CoC" as "C. O. C." or "code of conduct" instead of, you know, "Coq", and since Rocq community does have CoC, they could make people to adopt this pronunciation, absolutely.
Sound like you should be doing a proper cost/value/risk analysis of the current solution along with a proposal for change.

Once you do that you will probably have a reasonable understanding of your potential: budget, opportunity cost, RoI, risk, etc. for undertaking some kind of organizational change.

The actual software development side of this seems secondary until the above is done.

If so, the European city planning wouldn’t be popular within the US, but it’s the opposite. The few European style cities are incredibly attractive to live in.

> Young yuppies with their Silicon Valley salaries get to spend time in European city AirBnbs and wonder "why can't America be like this?"

Right.. and? They’re not representative? Or it’s unrealistic? That’s a perfectly reasonable question to ask for those that do get the opportunity to see functional dense urban areas in other places, especially as they don’t require anywhere near SV salaries yet are still lively and safe.

I don’t think the US will drop car centrism, partly because of the perpetual lower class social issues that make it dangerous to share public space with strangers, but you can get pretty far if you mix in high volume public transit like in NYC (or even SF BART for a smaller example), which greatly reduces the dead spaces that prevent walkability.
That's really cool!

I have a GPD win mini that I'm really happy with.
It's not really comparable to this device, except that they're both pocket-sized computers. But in just that one regard alone they're fairly unique, and it is very nice to be able to just grab a computer (that's more functional than a smartphone) and stick it in my pocket.
Keyboard ergonomics vary a lot between individuals and you pretty much have to try until you know what can work for you.

Some people swear by ortholinear as the most ergonomic. I did give ortholinear a few serious attempts but it always ends in strain and pain. And I'm no stranger to exotic keyboards.

Otherwise I'd be all over the MNT Pocket Reform but alas. Column-staggered (crkbd-style) would be lovely.
I think that's a little unfair as an assessment of their design. Good design is generally considered to include functionality, and from what I've seen of their products they do generally have good functionality. Sometimes that might be a little at the cost of the visual design (the OP-1 doesn't look like the most accessible tool), but on the whole I think they make products that are good overall.

Also recycling glasses might not make much sense.

The raw material for glass making is basically sand, and there's no problem dumping old glasses in a landfill.

So you should only recycle glass, if that's cheaper than making glass from scratch. There's no benefit otherwise.

(And you can still reduce and re-use, of course.)
I would love to see "pay 0.25$ to read, no registration needed" buttons being normal, but why does this has to be a web browser feature and another Web standard? This could be a payto:// link opening in user's app of choice, a QR code or even a browser plugin.

What we need is an open, universal payment protocol. Only one I know being developed is GNU Taler and hope it succeed. Web Monetization seems like another Google's open washing as sites would expect you to use Chrome and it's payment implementation while making it harder for any new browser to exist.
I have no strong opinion on renaming the project as such and conducting a survey was surely one of the better ways to handle that question. However, one thing in their evaluation of alternative names sprung out at me:

> No option receives more likes than dislikes.

So the new name was just "the least bad" option. Naming things is hard and getting a community to agree on a name is surely that much harder still, but I still find it a bit sad that the new name is not well-liked.
Two things are at play, the lignin (light absorbing) is emphasized and the cellulose is burnt away (light reflecting), and it seems this combined pretty unique lattice system (they use a similar synthetic system when producing regular ultrablack paint but the natural one appears to be more complex) create the blackness.
As product categories mature, systems get integrated, which makes them harder for DIY repairs and upgrades. Look at the complexity of modern cars; you can’t just do an engine swap or re-gear in your garage.

See also Intel’s Lunar Lake, where LPDDR is integrated on-package because it is cheaper, higher performance, and more reliable. But… not user-serviceable.

It’s the curse of the hobbyist: the vast majority of buyers are not hobbyists, so product design choices do not favor the hobbyist. Best you can do is find niche brands that focus on your use cases, but of course they will have lower sales volumes, which bring different sorts of pain.

A significant amount of carbon-14 was added to the atmosphere from nuclear weapons testing. Since it has a half-life of about 5,000 years, most of it is still around. (The rest of it comes from cosmic rays smashing into atmospheric nitrogen.)

Granted, that's an isotope of a well-known element, not one of the "extra elements tacked to the end of the periodic table". I can point out that [tiny traces of plutonium-244 have been found in the ocean seafloor](https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996499035/freshly-made-pluton...). That has a half-life of about 80 million years; it's probably the result of ejecta from a supernova washing over the Earth several million years ago.

Eventually we'll develop an AI that, if shown every plumbing video, would be better than any human.

Right now there's a few million Tesla cars on the road, in principle all could gather training data and gather tens of billions of miles of real world experience each year compared to the low single-digit millions of miles that a professional driver would see in their lifetime… and despite that, FSD has yet to earn the "F".

Cracking the data requirement for training AI is high value research; I don't think anyone has solved it yet, but this field being what it is it may have happened months ago behind closed doors, or it might be something that's just been added to the HN feed while I write this, or we may still be saying the same things in 2034.
Coming from San Diego and moving to Boston has been a hilarious ride. In San Diego pockets of people in every neighborhood own literal battery powered golf carts and use them to drive to grocery stores and such. These things are perfect for the streets of Boston, small, easily maneuvered into small spaces. Instead they are illegal in MA with only very specific exceptions for park services and other municipal works departments.

Every time I ask about it people jump all over “they aren’t safe on the highway”. Okay cool. If you own a golf cart in SD, it’s illegal to drive it on the highway. Problem solved right? I mean we have mopeds, motorcycles, literal bicycles sharing all these streets too. Certainly golf carts and kei trucks can have a special license plate for non highway vehicles?
Stainless or carbon steel. Once you learn how to cook with a stainless pan it’s basically non-stick.
Broken glasses in bars, for example, have a lot more impacts than just waste.

Broken glass has to be cleaned up, causes injuries, even causes lost product in some situations.

I was in a cocktail bar once with three friends who ordered us the same chilled cocktail, served there day in, day out, and as the cocktails were poured into the glasses, three of the four glasses broke. Plink, plink, plink.

Glasses too hot, cocktail too cold, some other handling problem. Who knows. But tougher glass might not have done that.
I can't say it's definitely the cause, but some of the things that might play a role are that the driving test is much more strict/difficult, the minimum age to get a permit is 18, the highways are generally less dense, the speed limits are lower, and traffic enforcement is stricter.
Is doing a smoke test in prod with corporate cards bad practice?

> that many people do not actually want this?

The concept of supply & demand shows people obviously do want this, given that the cost of living in that walkable city and in walkable places is so high.

The real reason? Americans become infatuated with the latest technological marvel too easily. For a while, this was the car. And unfortunately, rolling back all these car subsidies takes a while and is heavily fought against because people hate the feeling of having something taken from them.

> I care about end-users. I care about my interest

It’s likely that your interests diverge from the majority of end users. Most people do not want you or me protecting them from highly integrated systems.

Fair to talk about what you want, but I think it’s a mistake to assume your needs are representative.
Splitting a 200 line method into 20, 10-line methods rarely improves readability, it just tricks you into thinking those 200 lines are simpler than they actually are.

Furthermore, how to split 200 lines into methods is context dependent. Looking through the lens of memory, optimality, simplicity, different flows of concern, and you'll want to split those 200 lines up differently.

The problem space is complex, hiding that fact doesn't get rid of that fact.
Way too many ifs and buts in this. Most people are not crying out for a few milliamps.

I am not sure I am following that this fits the broken window fallacy? That fallacy is 'if I break/destroy something I create value on other things'. I am actually curious how spamming a bunch of accounts with junk in them would fit that? Oh no doubt it is creating negative value but nothing is destroyed to do that. 'Broken window' is probably not the right pattern here? I can think of a couple of other terms that fit better but still do not seem right.

Promising Drug for Multiple Sclerosis
We can empirically observe that NPM-sphere is relatively alone among software ecosystems to have this particular problem.

This is an indication that the problem is either with some facet of NPM itself, javascript the language or js programmers, as that is what distinguishes the ecosystem from e.g. Maven or Pip that do not suffer from the same problems, at least not to the same extent.

However, going from this observation to isolating causal factors is a lot harder, and randomly guessing isn't very likely to hit the mark.

It turns out that my code had a silent bug: my conformance to the Equatable protocol wasn't considering the current color of the rectangles drawn on screen, and one of the performance improvements in macOS Sequoia/iPadOS 18 is that ForEach elements don't re-draw if they aren't changed.
The Lpad fiasco was pretty bad, being able to delete libraries used by so many people. Hard to forget that.
We all just understand what we want to understand. For you this is a natural response because it's the only way your brain has to reconcile that you're a good person (which is something our brains are trying to do all the time).

At the time you just did it. Then you felt bad about it and stopped. So now you think worse of the people that do it, but wait, you can't think bad about the people that do it because you also did it, so you instead change the form to "think bad of people that _keep_ doing it".

If you had never done it, you'd say "who can even do this for a day!?!?". For someone that hasn't even considered it, you might be a terrible person for even having considered doing it, much less actually doing it for a while. Careful about moralizing.

I do it too btw, I'm just blind to the ones I do.
yeah, that's not what you write about Apple. In fact you wrote that you want to vote AGAINST regulation when it comes to Apple not long ago.

Good thing UK is no longer EU so you're a spectator now.
I take that back then. Would these hardened glasses be recyclable though?
Because google may stop financing them, and they will never be able to "keep up" since the technical abomination (the word is fair) which is the "javascript web" requires tons of resources. Financing firefox helps google as some sort of anti-trust regulation protection, I don't think the US administration has the intent to regulate Big Tech, a bit similar to the firearms industry. Maybe the US administration is actually totally unable to do it (EU is trying, but it is still _REALLY_ shy).

I recall some firefox dev about how google blink (and google online services) are going into the shaddy/ultra-complex parts of the "javascript web" to break firefox, namely making firefox an significantly less optimal javascripted browser for google services than google blink, or even their brother (apple is a vanguard/blackrock company too) engine, webkit (blink was forked from webkit).

The only way out is all critical(utility/etc in the US) online services which can reasonable be handled by noscript/basic (x)html standard, have to be (like they mostly were before...).

I personnaly do not like firefox neither since it is a c++ kludge abomination, to pathological level, and pulling a c++ compiler makes things even worse (rust syntax is toxicely complex like c++, then this is not a way out, may be worse). No, if you code c++, you are not smart, at best brain-washed , but surely toxic.
I will say that as a professor who occasionally has to refer to this system in front of a bunch of (American) 18-24 year olds, I'm very grateful for this renaming.
That sounds like clutching at straws while not really showing how that'd make a significant difference to anything.

Make all glasses recyclable. Probably more important but less marketable for a new startup idea...
Why are you so confident that depression and anxiety don't cause cancer? Even if they didnt cause it directly, there is a whole raft of associated drugs that could absolutely cause cancer. It's not like this is a thing a trial would always catch (for exactly the reason you point out).

> We have no obligation to agree to every decision they make

I think you have a misunderstanding here. No one is talking about agreeing with the decision.

People are arguing that they are being malicious without evidence of this, as always happens with apple and it detracts from the conversation.

My point is that they have no obligation to support Linux. Not supporting it isn’t something that can be classed as malicious unless there is evidence to show it was intentional and for a bad reason.

If you want hardware support policies changed inside apple you should push for this through industry regulation, which I would support.
Maybe "weasel word" wasn't the best term, what I meant is that "kind of", "probably" are words they used to deflate the emphasis of their sentence in order to make it seem less gross. This is a technique to make the meaning seem less harsh/disgusting/shocking and easier to agree with -- and you can bet they know it and use it purposefully, the whole article is written by salespeople about other salespeople and is precisely about techniques like this (see how they describe the tactical use of "fair enough", "I'm not trying to [...]", etc).

But it is gross because we can see past all of this, and the meaning of the sentence remains pretty bad.

I've never wanted to rob or scam people, no. I'm not in the minority either.

AMD CPUs aren't superior in power consumption on a mostly idling desktop, and also not in single-core performance. Use them if high multi-core workloads are your most important use case.
