# Operating Systems

Linux, but I don't really mind MacOS, just that they're too pushy on restricting control while enabling their own services on your computer. With Linux I've been able to keep only what I use and remove the rest.

Never Windows, unless it's for work.

# Applications

I use Firefox with Ublock and Containers. I have one Container for Google stuff, another for Meta (Whatsapp is the de facto communication tool in my country). I was thinking of deleting cookies, but my workstation stay on for days, and it ultimately won't matter.

I don't have anything really essential on Google either (I use it only for collaboration and the odd emails).

# Online Storage

Backup is either as is (media files) or encrypted in some vaults. I use Syncthing for syncing with encrypted nodes online.

# Social Media

I only have my Linkedin and X account left, but I don't use them. No apps on my phone other than WhatsApp.

I don't really care about privacy other than trying to replicate the real world. If you really want to know about me, you can with some work, but I try not to publicize everything online.

That's what KGB wants you to think
Poorly designed EV's without a bespoke chassis are 20-30% heavier than gasoline cars. But better designed ones are much closer in weight, and those are the cars that sell well.

For example, a Tesla 3 is within 5% of the weight of a BMW 3.

Certainly nothing is free (not even Free Software.) So there will surely be times when building is better than buying.

I suppose the key is to understand the hidden costs with both approaches. The salary vs subscription cost is part of it, but there also subtle things, like flexibility (or lack thereof in bought systems), security (or lack thereof in homegrown systems) and so on.
That doesn’t sound too bad since currently it’s only a $0 payout

Glad to hear you’re taking this stuff seriously, but you may want to be careful talking about this in detail in public without consulting a lawyer. Even if it seems like nothing is wrong with what you’re saying, anything that could be used to imply that you aren’t (or previously weren’t) in compliance with certain moderation standards could be used against BlueSky in court.
Pretty much:

Tesla Model 3: 3,862 to 4,054 lbs

BMW i4: 4,553 to 5,049 lbs

Note that the model 3 and i4 are compacts (accord sized), the BMW 3 is a sub-compact. The i4 shares a chassis with the 4 series, which is

3,578 to 4,034 lbs

You really feel the extra pounds also, but I still like my i4.
My first open core project for COSS. Any thoughts?
I understand the happy case. When it works, great.

My critiques were on the sad cases:

* Presses <Shift><Shift><Shift> on another sensitive site that doesn't implement this. Too late.

* Presses <Shift><Shift><Shift> on a poorly supported browser, or after the functionality is removed, or after it conflicts with OS-level (it might not today, but who knows about future OS updates)

Yeah, the whole article seemed “webscale for webscale’s sake”, despite describing a product just a few steps beyond MVP.

Overengineering abounds. It’s easy to feature flag something and roll it out only to a fraction of the userbase and see if the database falls over, or if you’re biased toward acronym/resume-driven-development.

We’re almost certainly talking about megabytes here, not terabytes.
There's a lot of misleading going on, Elon trying to placate Russia until the Trump card is ready to be played, which must be launched very quickly all at once.
From what i've read, it is the "upgrade" to rails for people who want higher scale. I don't know if I agree, as Rails definitely does scale if you know what you're doing. Would love to hear more about others experience using Elixir for fast, low-latency high throughput scale.
IF you are building software to build a product, and the company has put you on the product team in their organizational structure, you are on the product team, if they haven't you and they have a problem.

Not at all. I mean they're all not neurotypical enough to care.
Probably a bigger problem for modern cars (including EVs) is how long security updates will be provided for.
> Is there a place for quantum computers if classical algorithms become more capable at simulating quantum mechanics in ways we find useful?

There is not. Our existence as a field pretty much hinges on classical computers not being able to simulate all quantum mechanical problems efficiently. We imagine that designing quantum matter: https://cognitivemedium.com/qc-a-science, https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.02595 will be very useful in the scientific and technological sense and we don't think classical computers will ever fully stand up to that task.

> Breaking crypto, unless that falls too

If classical computers can simulate quantum efficiently then using quantum computers to break crypto also falls. Simulating quantum physics and factoring are in the same complexity class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BQP
Very curious to learn about what classes one can take to build up a rudimentary knowledge of plumbing, electrical and HVAC.
The concept of a "table" is probably one of the more underrated great achievements of humanity, judging by its pervasiveness in physical world and computing.
Doesn’t that create an adverse incentive for companies to not grow (invest to make more money) even if they could? YouTube for example might still be stuck in the 480p era if Google hasn’t laid all those Ocean cables on its own dime...
You can build something very similar with WebRTC. Browsers already have P2P networking capability, it's just not immediately interoperable with BitTorrent clients. Standardizing some sort of BitTorrent over WebRTC bridge and adding it to BT clients would fix this problem.

That being said, please do not host content this way. P2P blows away the already thin privacy guarantees that the web provides. Anyone seeding the site gets the IP addresses of everyone on that site, and can trivially correlate that with other sites to build detailed dossiers on, if not individual people, at least households[0] of people. After all, that's how the MAFIAA[1] sent your ISP DMCA scare letters back in the 2000s P2P wars.

[0] IPv4 CGNAT would frustrate this level of tracking, but IPv6 is still subnet per subscriber. Note that you can't use individual v6 addresses because we realized very early on that the whole "put the MAC in the lower 64 bits of the address" thing was also a privacy nightmare, so IPv6 hosts rotate addresses every hour or so.

As buggy as their software seems to be, I'd be a little surprised if they worked that hard and actually did it reliably.
> I think it would be a major shock to the browser ecosystem.

To repeat the question from above, where is the downside?

Microsoft only abandoned EdgeHTML and adopted Blink because Google owned sites like YouTube were deliberately breaking in Edge.

At this stage I don't imagine they'd go back (to EdgeHTML as their engine) specifically, but it's not hard to imagine a world where MSFT maintains its own fork of Blink for use in Edge, Opera potentially the same.

As for Firefox: they get money for being the default search engine - if Google is broken up, the search engine company that emerges will have even more reason to want to be the default search engine on as many browsers as possible (and thus incentive to pay money to other browsers).
Not the GP, but it's debatably correlated, apparently.

Ask HN: How do you license a deep learning model for commercial usage
I’ve been studying and developing my own deep learning model that serve a very niche market. I have acquired some interest clients that would love to buy the model including the final model weights, training pipeline. I’m pretty new to this field so I’m not sure where to begin on the commercial licenses. Any suggestions from HN would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, 'technically' sounds like bullshit.

It could be something as simple as the server ip address in each car's firmware. That's annoying but not insurmountable.

Ad blocking works quite well in Brave and in Firefox with (ubo). Any other browser is just an almost carbon copy of one of those two methods. Are you seeing something that I’m not? I really don’t see 99% of the ads that would without ad blocking in browser. Also Mozilla is fine and most of us nerds freak out when they try something new like this.
Profits are not all that matters.

The money Google spends internally either on development or on cross subsidies is no profit and is what most of the issues in this discussion are addressing.

Profits is just money they couldn't find a place to spend on growth.

(Also a maximum of 30% goes to app devs which isn't a majority any way you measure it)
> If you're not even doing basic moderation for the obvious terms in foreign languages

So anyone who starts a website allowing public posting needs to hire moderators fluent in the hundreds of languages that will be used there? There's at least 18 languages that are widely officially used across the world, plus more that are national languages of only one country, and over 7,000 total languages in existence.

This is why we have Section 230. Otherwise, we would only be able to use "approved" languages online to avoid liability, which would obviously be terrible.
good for you, you are doing your job very well.

part of the reason why modern software is so crappy, is because developers often have thee most powerful machines (MacBook pro like) and don't even realize how resource hungry and crrappy their software at lower end devices

It doesn't. And it isn't like hosting a web-portal is some kinda alien technology that can only be done in the cloud. There's absolutely no reason that a robot vacuum couldn't serve its own web interface.

OK. Thanks.

My guess was that since almost no one will pay more for a game's having fewer security vulns, there is less benefit to incurring the expense of Rust (takes longer to learn, development speed is slightly less)
> This means that you gather up all the information you need to give product exactly what they want, and then you come back to them with an estimate: six easy monthly payments of $2500. Or, rather, you say “One full time mid-level engineer’s time for 6 months on our team, plus one full time engineer’s time from the Infrastructure team.”

But isn't the problem with this whole idea that it outlays a possible sale of a "bill of goods" insofar as we don't actually know if a project of this magnitude will actually take the time we say, and require the resourcing it requires?

I'm sorry, but I disagree with the entire premise of this post. Product may have the money but money doesn't do much on its own, and that's more an unfortunate artifact of business-school-oriented modern org charting caked with plenty of management self-importance.

If they want a product, they'll give me the time _and_ the money and go back to dealing with customers and investors. This post is _exactly_ the reason software development today is a shit show of agile and mid-level managers deciding what tech debt is worth addressing. I daresay product can go away entirely, and I would bet the product would still get built.

We have the money and time to build great products. We don't need to sell product on it. We just need to be left alone to do it.

IMO they don't replace them 1 to 1. They will eliminate jobs over time, or, hold employment steady as population increases, therefore its a shrinking industry. Anyway I understand we are still producing 100K CS grads a year in the US alone, so they aren't going to going to run out of young people any time soon.
I think I did realize that. However, if you as a homeowner say "I really super duper don't want any scale buildup OR the minerals to be dissolved in whatever comes out the faucet" then suddenly the proposal is actually reasonable.

Metaphors only go so far. Try to see what I'm really saying here: quality has a cost. Don't shoot yourself in the foot by preemptively reducing quality on account of some ill-conceived notion about how the relationship between product owners and engineering works.
The extension reports some minimal metrics around where the extension was used (just the hostname of the url) and by which user. Other than that the content of the webpage is proxied to OpenAI's apis.

I have plans to in future 1) make the metrics tracking optional and 2) let folks use their own OpenAI API key if they want.

Not sure we know exactly how valproic acid works. HDACs are like master regulators. Histone acylation is kind of like the opposite of DNA methylation. It is a marker of active transcription. So messing around with these can lead to big epigenetic changes (i.e. state of the genome) in impacted cells / tissues.

(edit: I forgot to note that the "let's not" part was always overridden by "You're wrong, this will fix it. Do it!" by management. Then we would eventually find and fix the actual problem (because it didn't go away), but the cluster size -- and the cost -- would remain because "No, it was too slow with so few replicas".)
Shift is not ideal either. On Microsoft Windows, pressed thrice in quick succession will prompt to activate sticky keys, and divert focus from the web browser.

You are kind of asking if quantum computers would still be useful if quantum computers are not useful. By definition the answer is no.
Humanity isn't to blame for this - this isn't a problem that came into existence on its own. The world was made this way exactly by people who put themselves in their positions - be it a CEO, Board Member, Politician - there are people who literally decided to go down this path.

There are not enough of these decision makers to fault all of us. We are talking about less than .001% of people whose actions and choices have made a victim of our species.

Humanity is the earth's highest form of life - we are more important than the planet itself. If you think the earth like a Mother - when are the offspring not more important to a Mother than herself? It's the same for us. This isn't a natural filter, not a true one and not one that we couldn't have overcome already had we started long ago.

We are not expendable. We don't kno that we are not the first life in the universe to attain this level of intelligence, we don't know that there are others, we don't for certain that life will always produce intelligence so we don't even kno that there will certainly be something like us in the future - all information that we have gathered has shown us that we are alone.

This makes us the most important thing that we are aware of. You can be nihilistic if you'd like but that will generate more apathy, which brings us full circle to the people that run the world while we work our lives away.

We should all just stop - pandemic style, do nothing until our survival is our highest priority. That would be better for us all.
We had a specific use case that was needed urgently which we couldn't get working with any of the standard systems, so we used Go. Works very well. It is sometimes simply a matter of time; we needed it before the morning (for a launch) and in discord/reddit people were providing solutions with haproxy, nginx, traefik etc that should work according to the docs but just didn't.

> But isn’t part of security realizing that there is no 100% solution? ... Air gapping cuts down on the number of interactions with the network at large.

My point is that, practically speaking, most companies don't have the discipline to actually keep an air gap up, long-term. You inevitably need to get data in and out of the air-gapped systems.

The "air gapped" networks I've seen end up not actually being air gaps. Real air gaps are inconvenient, so eventually somebody installs a dual-homed host or plugs the entire segment into a "dedicated interface" on a firewall. Even without that, contractors plug-in random laptops and new machines, initially connected to the Internet to load drivers / software, get plugged-in to replace old machines. The "air gap" ends up being a ship of Theseus.

I had a Customer who had DOS machines connected to old FANUC controllers. They loaded G-code off floppy diskettes. Eventually those broke and they started loading G-code over RS-232. The PCs didn't have Ethernet cards-- their serial ports were connected to Lantronix device servers. It wasn't ever really an air gap. It was a series of different degrees of "connectivity" to the outside world.
> Frankly, it's really crazy how much of the modern web is controlled by google.

Citation needed. Almost 100% of Web is dominated by the likes of Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, etc. All of which are curiously not controlled by Google.
once a word is integrated in german, using german grammar rules seems perfectly fine. but if i read "parties" im a german sentence, i would feel surprised

however there are also plenty of counterexamples especially on the plural of foreign words, especially from latin, where a latin plural is expected.

what this suggests to me is that singular and plural have to be integrated separately.

"party" is essentially already a german word. "parties" isn't (yet)

"party" distinguishes itself from "feier" because the later means "celebration", where as "party" in german can be used for parties that don't celebrate anything.

I’ve been a homeowner for a mere two years and I’ve discovered many things wrong with my house. YouTube has a video outlining what I need to fix and how to fix it 90% of the time.
