Firefox's are, nominally, reviewed. I don't know if Chrome's are, but I would've assumed that they are- even if by some automated tool(s).

Granted, I'm sure malware slips through. But, what security danger is there to a user if an extension blocks a network request? Manifest V3 eliminating the ability to block network requests is NOT for user security. The absolute best excuse they can come up with is that it has something to do with performance, but that's also bullshit because I'm 99% sure I can find plenty of ways to make a Manifest V3 extension waste CPU and/or memory.

That's to be expected when we widen the number of people participating in the technical community. Compartmentalization is an outlier behavior.

In rare cases, sure, it can add some overhead, and might not be suitable I dunno for game engines, etc., but in most use-cases it's absolutely negligible and brings enormous advantages otherwise.

Besides, there are some types of applications that simply really difficult to build with more "traditional" approach, watch this talk, I promise, it's some jaw-dropping stuff:

Most of these employees believe they're elite, they aren't.

The natural aristocrats are unaffected, not because they get away with abusing the system, but because they don't abuse them.

One has to be remarkably pathetic and morally bankrupt to abuse this in the first place. Meta is simply correcting their mistake of hiring a fundamentally unqualified peasant.

That can get it to be okay, if you put some effort in and get lucky with the manufacturer, but it's still worse than basically anything else that's modern and supports Linux.

My first thought as a mechanical engineer is whether this could be useful for PID controllers. Getting a usable derivative value for the "D" term is often a challenge because relatively small noise can create large variations in the derivative, and many filtering methods (eg simple first-order lowpass) introduce a delay/phase shift, which reduces controller performance.
I'm not sure what you mean by characterize. Bourbaki-style is extremely rigorous, to the point of missing the forest for the trees. The so-called Russian style (there are plenty of non-Russian examples) is more driven toward building intuition and getting to the essence of the matter. In this way lisp is more similar to the latter because it facilitates prototype (essence) development. In Haskell you pretty much have to do a captcha equivalent of programming just to prove to the compiler you are allowed to do io :)
If the lore is to be believed, Southwest (a airline that has made its business only the 737) saw the a320 neo and basically told Boeing "give us a new 737 or we go to airbus." they did what the client wanted, to their detriment.

"If I asked people what they wanted they would've said faster horses," or whatever Henry Ford is falsely accused of saying.

Except that google already told that they will not keep V2 for enterprises..

enterprises have a 6 months extension compared to the rest of people, actually anyone can enable a policy that re-enable V2 but google said that it will maintain that only for additional 6 months..

After that they will remove V2 entirely even from enterprises..

i doubt that google will keep the code around to support V2 for long after that.. Browsers that want to keep it will have to maintain the code themselves
and deal with any problems and costs that it causes..
Genuinely curious how they could not get a linux version running. If they can release a working android version for their other SoCs, what stops them from releasing a working Linux distro?

I know they have tons of proprietary blobs but I suspect they could still just deliver a linux ISO with all the binaries included.

It just smells like someone at Qualcomm did not see the value and cut the budget to the bone. I had my fears around long term software support of those chips. This news makes me even less confident that I trust them to support these chips long term.
Generally, crokinole is a much less punishing game than carrom, if we're talking about Indian carrom boards. American carrom boards, that were really popular in after-school programs when I was growing up, have relatively HUGE pockets than the Indian boards, in addition to being smaller boards. American carrom is like playing 8-ball, Indian carrom is like playing snooker.

I like carrom a lot, but I'm terrible at it. I'm at least a reasonable player at crokinole, and it's a lot easier to introduce others to the game without them getting too frustrated by it.

For research, you can do things like PSO or Genetic algorithm optimizations. Those benefit more from CPU than GPU cause there is not so much matrix math going on, especially for complex fitness functions that require sequences.

You could do this with the small Llama model, where the fitness function is basically the ability generate correct code and self detect errors, and adjust the weights based on the optimization algorithm.
Hi Peter, thanks for all the AMAs you've done in the past.

From the perspective of a recent Green Card recipient not yet living in USA, is it possible/advisable to convert to a Commuter Green Card, work remotely (and paid as US-based employee with US contract, US mailing address, and US benefits), and commute to the US to work in person for a week or two every few months?

(Or does this stretch the definition of commuting outside of scope?)

Show HN: Mixpanel for Voice AI Agents
Hi, I’m Tom Shapland, the cofounder of Canonical AI.

LLMs have changed the paradigm for Voice AI. Compared to rule-based systems (Siri, Alexa, Amazon Polly), LLM-based Voice AI agents understand the intent of the caller and can more often resolve the issue without escalation to a human agent. Moreover, with LLM-based Voice AI agents, developers can build a Voice AI agent more quickly, onboard customers quicker, and iterate on the product faster. Our customers’ Voice AI agents are doing amazing things. It’s so much fun to see the agents achieve the caller’s objective, even in the face of skepticism from the caller.

But LLM-based Voice AI agents are still nascent in some ways. For example, it’s hard for developers to know how their agents are performing. Most Voice AI agent developers are manually listening to calls to identify issues in them. Or they’re finding out about issues with their agent when their customers complain. There’s a better way.

When my cofounder, Adrian Cowham, and I started the company, we were building a semantic cache. We started meeting a lot of Voice AI developers because they were interested in latency improvements from caching. However, we kept hearing them say, “We don’t need to optimize our agent yet. We just need to get it to be more reliable.”

So we pivoted. We’re now building Mixpanel for Voice AI agents. We map caller journeys. We provide audio metrics (i.e., latency) and conversational metrics (i.e., identify calls that end abruptly). We help Voice AI developers improve their agents.

We’d love it if people in the Hacker News community would try out our product and let us know what they think!

This is what it looks like to live in a weird architectural design bubble where you think spoiled rich kid schools are all schools. Like an attractive person for whom regular people literally do not cognitively exist, the shitty schools all over the world that lack basic supplies and do not pay teachers enough do not exist, so we are free to think about cool architecture you can post pictures of on your portfolio.

They’ve been coming up on the front page of Reddit several times this year. I’m in agreement with the OP and I’ve only casually observed those threads
> (generally I think this is an area which just hasn't become mainstream enough for this standardisation to be useful: when most of your users are hacking around with the SBC and are happy to just download the vendor's SD card image, there's very little impetus to make something plug-and-play)

I think it's a more subtle problem of embedded software engineering culture being a decade or more behind the rest of software development, especially at any IC company that aren't NVIDIA/Intel/AMD. IME most SBC users are commercial, not users hacking with it (I don't know about this specific dev kit though), and every professional EE I know hates dealing with poorly supported non-mainline linux SBCs. If your company/clients don't commit to a single platform like iMX for years at a time, managing embedded linux is a pain in the ass. That's why RPi was so successful with its compute modules, the community handled a lot of that pain instead of depending on the vendor.
Less than ICE vehicles generally, including American and European shitboxes? Perhaps. Better than a Japanese car with a clean history? Not according to the auto loan people at my credit union.

Quite frankly, I trust them a lot more than internet commenters. They have a financial incentive to have good statistics on how cars keep their value. What's more, I trust them a lot more to make recommendations based purely off those statistics, uncompromised by ideology and/or environmental concern. Internet commenters are the same clowns who would have me believe it's rational and practical to give up my car and rely on public transit... in America. So yeah, I bought a Jap ICE car.
This is one of those thing that is "by philosophy", and I understand, i think, what you are saying.

I do think that tests should not explain the why, that would be leaking too much detail, but at the same time the why is somewhat the result of the test. A test is a documentation of a regression, not of how code it tests is implemented/why.

The finite number of cases is interesting. You can definitely run single tests with a high number of inputs which of course is still finite but perhaps closer to a possible way of ensuring validity.
Most of the toolchain got hidden behind openvino and there was no hardware released for years. Keembay was 'next year' for years. I have some code for DSP using it that I can't use anymore. Has Intel actually released new shave cores, with an actual dev environment ? I'm curious.
Even if your implication is correct (GP is a would-be viewer), doesn’t mean they’re wrong..
What you actually said is ridiculous:

"Your (and the sibling) responses also beg the question: must governments contract to big foreign consultancies? It's not illegal to do things in-house if they so choose, you know."

No, they don't must do this. No, it's obviously not illegal to do things in-house. They choose not to because it's obscenely hard to build what Palantir has already built and to battle test its security anything close to what Palantir has done.

(Disclaimer: I used to work there, so you can go ahead and dismiss my opinion outright, but I am responding directly to what you're saying)
Really its not about how long MS will support the platform but the fact that there is really no reason for Windows developers to support ARM. Current x86 laptop CPUs are way faster than Snapdragon and are not that far behind in battery life.
We went through the Fiance Visa program and it wasn't a big deal, but the foreign one of us was Canadian, which is on the we like that country list, which probably helped a lot.

You have to follow special rules for the fiance visa program, and most all the paperwork happens before you get married.

The big thing I remember(it's been decades now), there was a fee we had to pay at one of the consulates somewhere, and they gave us 2 receipts, a big fancy full page one and the tiny cash register receipt. Way afterwards they made us prove we paid the fee. They wanted the tiny cash register receipt, not the fancy full page one. Make sure you keep literally everything , you have no idea what might be important later on.

I'm not saying the fiance visa is right for you in your situation, just mentioning it in case you are not aware.
Almost twenty years ago, I brought a crokinole board into my work and it became a very popular diversion. We came up with a cutthroat version where four players could play individually rather than the more traditional 2v2 four-player variant.

Perhaps in reverse (which should be equivalent, since Maxwells laws are time reversible).. rather than having waves amplified by stealing energy from the cylinder, waves could amplify the rotation of the cylinder.
Yes, except this is not what people talk about when they say code is the documentation. What's meant in that context is no documentation and only code, with the idea that you can always read the code if you need to figure something out. Which, of course, is nonsense.
Isn't that the same with Lamda@edge, so AWS also operates lots of PoPs all over the world that run code for you (if you want to)?
Oh yes it's just illegal immigrants that Republicans hate. That's why they spread lies about refugees and other legal immigrants, right?

Nobody is mentioning this. Tests are for change over time, they are not just for testing the output is the same.

When you have a codebase sitting around rotting for years and you need to go back and refactor things to add a feature or change the behavior, how do you know you aren't breaking some dependent code down the line?

What happens when you upgrade a 3rd party dependency, how do you know it isn't breaking your code? The javascript ecosystem is rife with this. You can't upgrade anything years later or you have to start over again.

Tests are especially important when you've quit your company and someone else is stuck maintaining your code. The only way they can be sure to have all your ingrained knowledge is to have some sort of reliable way of knowing when things break.

Tests are for preventing the next developer from cursing you under their breath.

Cool.

This feels like a very important question: why the hell don't we seem to be able to do this efficiently, despite our vast resources and all the advances we've made in engineering, materials science, and automation in recent decades?

As much as the leftie in me wants to say we're not funding it, we are. Per-student, inflation-adjusted funding for education has gone up a full 50% in my lifetime [1], to more than $18k per student-year. $18k is a lot - for a classroom of 30 students, that's half a million dollars a year. We have the money, and indeed far more money than we once had, in a world where things are cheaper and easier. We should be able to do everything we did generations ago and then some. Sure, there are demands we make now that we didn't make then (like "maybe not with the asbestos", "kids with wheelchairs should be able to get places", and "maybe people with learning disabilities should get a chance"), but I have a hard time believing that those are adding >50% in real terms.

To me, the interesting question isn't the trade-offs, it's why we need to make them at all. It seems like we shouldn't.

The most appealing explanation to me is that there's a sort of low-grade hum of background corruption that is hard to detect but acting as a sort of friction on public-works projects. But that's hard enough to falsify that it's hard to be too confident in it, either.

I hope you understand that chlorine is literally a disinfectant that's designed to kill stuff, right? Chlorine doesn't exactly appear naturally in water: humans notice when it stinks. We use chlorine to kill lower forms of life. It's only safe when it's in a concentration that won't kill us, nor noticeably harm us. At least with chlorine, they admit that's the goal is disinfection, rather than pretending it's beneficial medicine!

“The fastest rotation achievable by standard motors is of the order of 10 kHz and a record of 667 kHz is reported for a millimetre-sized magnetically levitated sphere.”

From the spinning metal cylinder you can extract EM energy. It’s like a flywheel. The trick is how do you bring up the spin in the first place. The indication here is I guess that you can amplify the spin with EM waves.

“…depending on its rotation speed Ω compared to the field oscillation frequency ω, it can either absorb or amplify.”
You're super wrong.

There was a brief moment in time where freehand was just a better and faster drawing tool than illustrator (which is whats is shown here) but from there on psp, ill & indesign have pretty much killed all competition out there.

The formats they use are sigularly stupid and arcane for legacy reasons, they are all mem hogs and inefficient to the extreme - but nothing beats that unholy trifecta and it is used it or die.

Now to get the point: generative fill is one of the absolute killer features of psp - in an instant it does what could take multiple hours to do previously with 5-10 sec of watching a loader.

I don't think it's a win for the employee if they're getting $100 worth of extra labor out of you in exchange for $25 worth of food. And not just financially, I always thought that these "perks" make it harder to disconnect and relax from work which is likely to take a toll on mental health - I know it would for me.
Unit tests is documentation of assertions. Hence it documents the result of how the code results to specification.

It's of course not documentation in the sense of a manual to the detail of code it exercises, but it definitely helps if tests are proper crafted.

There is currently a shortage of ~3-4 million housing units in the US. This shortage will continue into the future due to a shortage of people to build housing, the cost to build, and a population that remains steady due to immigration inflows. Buying in the US will remain a net positive financial decision well into the future based on these housing fundamentals.

Awesome. I'd love to see more offers like this.
