Cookie banners are a great reason for expirations dates on new policies. If it works: Great, renew it! If it does not work, is not required anymore or was just plain stupid: Never talk about it again and it will run out.
But who will actively admit that regulation failed and work to undo it?

Speaking for myself, I clicked on this thinking it might be open source in the sense of something I can run fully locally, like with a small grammar-only model.
OP here.

Thanks for that, that's obviously better in terms of bitrate, I haven't thought of that. Any two bit sequences with equal probability can be used to emit either a 0 and 1..
By far, my favorite feature in iOS 18 is Safari’s “hide distracting items” feature. It lets you permanently hide the cookie popups on a per site basis. And the annoying google sign in popups, and the annoying scroll down popups.
Not necessarily. Many are told by their bosses to either put minimal effort into becoming compliant, or worse, told to use a horrid cookie notice service that creates so much user frustration that some of us abandon the site rather than deal with it.

I think with few exceptions, most web admins just want to get the cookie notice sh*t out of the way and get on with work that matters.
Also badly documented. If you try to implement something non-standard with it, good luck. I once needed to write code where trace started in node an continued inside a node api native library. Getting these two traces to connect must be one of the most frustrating things I've worked on.

At least on the Rust side you have types to help you out, but it is still quite complex and the crates have bugs open for years, impossible to solve with the current architecture.

Because Chrome (Google) and a large chunk of the web media publishing ecosystem are hooked on this crap. It's a hundred billion dollar business.

And yes, it's mostly selling garbage, but that's hardly unique in 21st century capitalism.
> People hate it, but the ideal social media platform was early Facebook.

Even that has two major flaws:

First, people while using it compare other's highlights to their own norm. Look, this couple can afford a fancy vacation while we don't.

Second, it was still a tool to peer int other people's lives, and gossip.
Insightful information, and yeah, I incorrectly remembered :)

Another interesting thing not talked a lot about online is that these midwest cities typically have a ton of documented (or not?) underground tunnels. There used to be a cool website for the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) that showed them off. My parents recall walking from the University of MN to further parts downtown where you can transition to skyways and basically never go outside. I guess -40' weather really pushes people to become moles in a sense. I think a lot of big cities also have huge tunnel systems for heating fuel (coal delivery and the like) and other utilities
Hezbollah started encouraging its operatives to switch to pagers months ago, out of fear that Israel would compromise or had compromised their cell phones.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/pagers-drones-how-...

It seems likely that a significant number of the thousands injured were Hezbollah militants. How significant? We’ll have to wait for the numbers.

I haven’t seen any indication that the exploding pagers were held by emergency responders in a significant quantity. Do you have a source for that?
Heck, If I look real hard I might even find some California based companies that don’t pull exclusively from ancient Californian lore.
That is why we should do proper enforcement. Cookie popup that is not needed 1% revenue fine for each month it stays up. Suits will start to understand things really really fast.
Whoa thanks for letting me know this exists
UI feels unresponsive. You click a button, and the button doesn't seem to do anything. In case of the left-hand side buttons, it it's just a lack of response from buttons that's unsettling, but on the right side its worse because there's zero action happening on the screen until the new background finishes loading and applies itself to the screenshot.

I would probably add some animations to make UI feel responsive. Something like make buttons highlighted on color / have a color animation after click, and have the application properly tell you when its loading something / the requested action is in progress.

I would also mention there's a very slight delay (60-200ms) between clicking a button and the thing happening on screen, but I guess that's average web application experience nowadays... so I won't complain
A surprising related fact is that 200 years after Gauss and with a vast amount of progress in mathematics, we still don’t know the largest regular polygon with an odd number of sides that can theoretically be constructed in the Euclidean manner. For the curious, this is because the answer reduces to combinations of multiples of Fermat Primes, and nobody knows if there are any Fermat Primes beyond 3, 5, 17, 257, 65537. (See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_polygon)
How very supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Yes, but the API at the end is providing the core functionality. Simply swapping out one LLM model for another - let alone by a different company altogether - will completely change the effectiveness and usefulness of the application.
You don't need a cookie popup for managing login sessions. Things that are essential to providing the feature don't need permission.

At least based on the so called cookie law. There is also GDPR, but you'd typically agree to that on signing up, not on accessing the site.
and the annoying scroll down popups

Wait, is it when you pull the page by moving your finger to the bottom of the screen and the “header” pops up?
UN Security Council Resolution 1566 outlines what is considered as terrorism:

"criminal acts, including against civilians, committed with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury, or taking of hostages, with the purpose to provoke a state of terror in the general public or in a group of persons or particular persons, intimidate a population or compel a government or an international organization to do or to abstain from doing any act."

If their purpose was really about scaring Hezbollah away, this attack can be labelled as terrorism. I'm pretty sure politicians have different ideas there.
Yeah if course it was all journalists kids pregnant doctors. Not Hezbollah members carrying Hezbollah pagers /s
If you do not collect my data outside for what is strictly needed, then all is good. Remove analytics, recaptcha, embedded youtube, google cdn and any other things you do not actually need to run your product. And collect only the info you need (and nope, you really do not need my address or phone number unless you ship physical goods, so why are you getting it?). You probably do not need my email address besides for spam (forgot password is not a thing; either use one of the oauth providers, or hash the email and let the user enter it; if it matches you can send the email).

Then you don't need cookie banners or gdpr consent popups. It is not that hard. But you want to screw your clients for profit, I know, in that case, you need them or get fined. Which you should be for misusing my information/behaviour and privacy. Nothing good did come of ad tracking, user fingerprinting and data selling, so I wish you many fines.
The important part here is that it's at the browser level, IMO. Then it's the user's choice to either reject/accept all by default or get prompted once per page. I'd guess that 99.9% want to set it globally and never think about it again.
Wow, you’re actually admitting to being a terrorist sympathizer? You could have just made that clear earlier so we’d know who we were conversing with.
I just love John Baez stuff, hitting the perfect balance between physics and math.
Lynx, back in the day, forced you to explicitly accept/reject each cookie offered by the server while loading the page. Modern browsers silently accept them all by default. Browsers have regressed.
A battery pouch is a terrible pressure vessel under these conditions. It’s designed to bulge and deform to avoid catastrophic failure. It would need to be replaced with some very stiff material that can withstand the first step of thermal runaway. A battery not submitted to mechanical stress (e.g. by being punctured, hit very hard or shot at) is going to get quite hot before expanding.
So it may be more attractive to employers to check their employees' output, rather than an individual checking his own?
Yep, quite a surprise. I saw hnreplies had about 3k users so I thought I could get at least a few hundred.

Ah well, the silver lining is that I learned about HN RSS feeds, Django Ninja, and Q2 async workers. It's the best backend stack I've used so far.
Look at JavaScript and typescript - Python’s typing is maybe halfway to that gold standard but there were other typed languages based on js. Python is special in that it provides type hinting syntax which is not used by the interpreter, so writing types doesn’t require the Byzantine build systems of js.
Thanks. This looks useful.
What exactly makes Python (the language) not good for this? Keep in mind we now also have PyScript.

The MIT licensed code is a wrapper for the OpenAI API. That OpenAI API provides the core functionality, and it is not open source.
Yeah but if you’re dealing with hardware with any kind of Israeli involvement, do you really want to open every single customer unit to make sure one of the capacitors hasn’t been swapped for C4? I think that’s what the poster was indicating. At first I thought yesterday’s action was deviously impressive. Now I’m starting to think it’s actually shortsighted and bizarre. It’s a declaration of war on Lebanon, and obviously a declaration of a war they think they can win, but no good can come of this action.
The UC system wasn’t allowed to consider race or implement affirmative action, at least in the past. As I recall they had significantly higher rates of Asian students compared to the private universities (like Ivy leagues) where affirmative action policies racially discriminate against Asian students

It's great. I had a subscription for Grammarly for a couple of years and used both tools in parallel, but found myself mostly using languagetool increasingly. It is strictly better, I'd say even for English but certainly if you need other languages or deal with multilingual documents. So I canceled Grammarly and didn't miss it since.

You also can self-host and we do that at my workplace, because we deal with sensitive documents.

It's really not a short hop at all, it's a total opposite of the whole concept of "we're looking for ways to help the people with ASD".
That is not really GDPR. That is the ePrivacy ( ie. The Cookie Law from 2009 ) directive that supplements but sometimes overrules GDPR.

https://gdpr.eu/cookies/
# Cookie compliance
> it is not legally required to provide the service if a user declines tracking cookies. The site can simply not provide functionality. So in many cases, its not really a choice – the choice is either not to use the site, or consent to tracking.

to be fair that is the choice. And ideally, the invisible hand would show that this is a horrible idea and cause a huge spike in traffic, but alas.

I think "stop putting popups cookies" on websites is an extreme stance, but I agree we could use fine tuning on the little things to help keep the spirit of the law. It should indeed be opt-in and not "ask for forgiveness". And it should adhere to current compliances.
Some sites ask you for an email, or login when you scroll down, and you have to hide it to keep reading. I think Medium pioneered this?
It is, in that it's got the added feature of monitoring comments on your posts. You can see from this code that it's a bit trickier to do that (and harder to scale): https://github.com/mihailthebuilder/hackernewsalerts-backend...
Malicious compliance gets the website two benefits: 1) Annoying the customer enough with the popups might net a permission to track from an user who originally did not want the cookies 2) Making the cookie banners as frustrating as possible increases the political pressure against the EU, hopefully leading to them repelling the anti-tracking legislation

There's no upsides for a website from providing an easy "Never track me" button, or just not using analytics cookies - you don't have to put up cookie consent banners for technical cookies used to save e.g. light/dark mode preference

Almost. It hardly worked as intended, but at least it increased awareness.
The fact that some sites tried to comply and actually provided a full list of all sites that they sell your private data to is somewhat a win. It got to a lot of wider public that realized "they sell it to 97 companies?!".

I personally think local governments or EU wide institutions should have a registry of companies and their sites with ratings, so we could integrate that directly in our browsers, company registries, phone dialer apps. iFixIt style.

- Clarity of EULA: 1/10, impossible to understand without lawyer's interpretation.

- History: 1/10, no way to track what were the previous versions of the document or when they changed

to give some context and prove it's possible to provide metrics to legal documents, in Poland we have a formal "Registry of Forbidden Clauses" with references to lost court cases:

I'd rather start seeing ipmi-like controllers rather than ecc memory on high-end/prosumer hardware.
You mean the vanity flap at the top?

No those are a different sign of design ineptitude.

They mean the popups that appear as you try to read what you followed the link for.
Your terrorist group is their legitimate government. In Lebanon today their legitimate government was attacked by a terrorist group.
You're way too late starting that fight. "Chat with [anything]" has been an established term for a long time now.
Thousands were injured, yes. How many of the thousands injured belonged to Hezbollah? It’s a safe bet that the majority of injuries were sustained by owners of these Hezbollah-supplied pagers.

International law allows, to some extent, collateral damage during war (and Israel and Hezbollah are certainly at war). What percentage of collateral damage would you say is acceptable here? 50%? 20%? None?
Your preferences should be on the website level though, not global. And you should be asked about it on first visiting the website.

Preferences should be expressible in any form a user seems fitting their needs. If they want to block-all,enable-per-site or enable-all,block-per-site, or block-mask, or enable-mask, or top-down rule priority list — they should be able to. Designing preferences in any other way is a dark pattern not worth considering as a fully user-controlled mechanism.

I can't think of any way to have a good UX to opt in or out of "tracking" cookies which people would actually use

Virtually any UX is better than cookie popups as they are now, cause they get designed with interests of a site owner in mind. This alone makes it the worst possible UX on average.
I'm sorry but you keep making logical leaps.

> But they do. Aid workers have been killed in "unprecedented" "record numbers". Same with journalists, and children, and...

This does not mean they are targeted. It could mean that Israel isn't careful enough, it could mean they are operating in a more dangerous situation than usually, it could mean that a higher percentage of them is also involved in non-aid related activities. Just assuming that because they were killed it means they were targeted is ridiculous. I'll give you an example: On October 7th Hamas killed a record number of Thai people in any other conflict in the middle east. Does Hamas explicitly target Thai people?

> Israelis rioted for the right of prison guards to anally gang rape abductees held without trial to the point of hospitalization. They gave one of the rapists (the one caught on CCTV) national attention and praise.

Yeah, a few hundreds of Israelis rioted for them. You know how much that is out of a population of almost 10M? And if you don't mind, the point wasn't really about "general opinion", but about the fact that systemically in Israel, soldiers hurting Palestinians were and are prosecuted, while something even remotely similar to that has never happened (I'll wait for your link) at the other side. You bringing up a case where the soldiers were detained and facing criminal charges, against some of the Israeli population opinion, proves my point exactly.
ChatGPT definitely can do the work. I used Google search for git command when I was a beginner. But I met the situation of losing all the changes with a single git command. This tool may be helpful for beginners. It can explain commands and also raise red flags for risky commands.
Session management does not require a cookie consent. Implementation-relevant technical cookies are exempt, it's the 337 different analytics services that sites use that require the cookie consent

> leader in the find long lost relative space/your "roots" space.

Acknowledging Ancestry.com are well ahead of the market here, but I never got their appeal of finding some long-lost second cousins... basically strangers, and saying, "hey, isn't it fascinating that we share some arbitrary level of common genetic makeup". If some randomer reached out via email to me doing this big reveal I'd be "thanks, but into the spam folder with you".
Besides cookies, there are tracking methods based on fingerprinting, IP and so on. None of them are permitted without explicit consent. This means that a site may not load resources from a third-party server without consent, since the request itself reveals enough information for fingerprinting and tracking.

Tracking is plainly not permitted without consent.
And it works really well. Until it does not, and then you need to figure why the page isn't working for you but your neighbour has no problems. I still use it all the time though but there is some pages I won't bother with much. Probably better that way anyway :-)
Well, one of the three fabs did. The newer two fabs, including the one with the most advanced processes, started in '22 and '24 respectively; that was thanks to the Biden Admin, per TSMC.[0][1]

Genuine question: what upside does it have against supply chain attacks?

Is it possible that an adversary to implement a backdoor into a chip design, without Apple noticing it?

I'm not a chip designer so perhaps the answer is obvious to some of you guys, but I'd expect some verification mechanism at Apple's side of the manufactured chips to match their original design to verify that they aren't tampered with?
Biased opinion(because this is how I did it in uni): Before looking at modern x86, you should learn 32-bit MIPS.

It's hopelessly outdated as an architecture, but the instruction set is way more suited for teaching (and you should look at the classic procedure from Harris and Harris where they actually design a pipelined MIPS processor component by component to handle the instruction set).
Using debian and bash and perl for setup and config. There is almost no work involved in the past decades; everything still works fine. I do not like busy work; trying to do things the hard way is not making me money or giving me happiness; running saas products (on non cloud cheap hardware that never dies) is and that's what I have done for the past 25 years.

There is no need to adapt things that work as they are already.
It is also legacy from Khronos point of view.
