So I’m familiar with what their other apps do. I read the readme many times. I still wonder what “web content“ means. Apparently it’s media. Maybe it’s a headless browser that can capture inputs and stream them?

Re reading the readme and trying to figure out what each discrete part does made me realize it feels like if ChatGPT had designed a generic, non descript product, and made a readme. It’s got a file that tells me there are things in it. The code does stuff. This is definitely what a product looks like to a human.

Philip K Dick described that to see information is to be consumed by it. This feels exactly that way. Presented with something that has just enough meaning to feel “figure out able“.
Id also wish I could get to play around with a cheaper version of their tech, but they probably havw enough customers that really want a large-scale solution that is completely customizable
> Everyone else stops coming because they don't want to hear Nazi shit, so, it's a Nazi bar now.

There's plenty of non-Nazi writers enjoying a good amount of success on Substack, though? Or at least, as a casual Substack user, I'm not sure I've been exposed to any Nazi content…? So I'm not sure if this analogy holds up that well in this case.
That's what I was writing about.
Responding to your pre-edited comment.

> whom is WebGPU for? […] it’s a huge rigamarole.

Where is this comment coming from? WebGPU enables compute shaders, and there are applications in anything that uses a GPU, from ML to physics to audio to … you name it. What is making you think game engines would be the only users? I bet a lot of companies are looking forward to being able to use compute shaders in JS apps and web pages.

> Godot has had zero development for WebGPU support.

Why would Godot be an indicator? I love Godot and their efforts, but it’s less than 1% of game engine market share, and a much smaller less well funded team. Of course they’re not on the bleeding edge. Unity is closer to 30% market share and is actively engaging with WebGPU, so it seems like you’re downplaying and contradicting a strong indicator.
That higher standard sounds similar to "Double reasonableness" from British tax law.

"Double reasonableness" is used to delete tax advantages for certain things which you say were correctly exempt from taxation or attracted significant tax advantages but the government alleges you were in fact just generally avoiding paying tax and whatever you were doing doesn't count. It's not a crime to have mistakenly believed you didn't owe tax, but, if a court finds against you, you would now owe the back tax, plus potentially penalties.

The "double" comes from a requirement that not only can the reasonable person (say, a juror) not think of any way that what you're doing isn't just avoiding tax, but they can't even imagine any other reasonable person who thinks what you were doing made sense for another reason beside avoiding taxes either.

The idea is this only triggers for people who are very obviously dodging tax, so that their scheme sounds completely ludicrous unless it is explained that they hoped to avoid taxation, rather than just being a slightly eccentric thing to do which happened to have tax benefits when they did it.

"I buy and sell used cars" makes you a used car dealer. No reason you shouldn't take advantage of used car tax treatments which are a significant benefit.

"I let somebody else do all the buying and selling" OK, I guess you just own the business? Nothing wrong with that, small business, entrepreneurship, excellent.

"I don't own the business or anything, I just get the advantageous tax treatment". Huh, well it's very good of the people actually doing the transactions to let you benefit while they go without, very generous indeed, but at least you're ensuring a healthy market in used cars.

"Oh, there's just one car. That car is just bought and sold over and over again to make up the amount of money I requested". See, now that's ludicrous, why would anybody believe you had some reason to do this except to avoid paying taxes?

GribStream: Historical Weather Forecasts API – with free tier
Excited shamelessly promote my indie hacking project, GribStream, with the HN community! GribStream offers full access to historical weather data and forecasts through an efficient API. It's built for meteorologists, researchers, and anyone needing reliable weather data. Features include:

A free tier to help you get started
Full history of weather forecasts
Extract timeseries for thousands of coordinates, for months at a time, at hourly resolution in a single http request taking only seconds.
Supports as-of/time-travel, indispensable for proper backtesting
Automatic gap filling of any missing data with the next best (most recent) forecast.

It currently leverages the National Blend of Models (NBM) with more datasets to come.

High efficiency and low latency access to GRIB data I'm eager to hear your feedback and suggestions!

i think the main purpose of this is to pull in illegal streams of copyright content, so the readme probably has to be intentionally obtuse to avoid summoning law enforcement.
This trick doesn't always work. Roku for example hard codes 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as its DNS resolvers. So you may need some firewall redirection rules.
Why do you think wasm is harder to circumvent? The only way to instantiate a wasm module in the browser is through (drum roll) javascript. Install noscript if you're worried. The days of view source -> edit are basically over anyway due to every site's 1MB+ minified JS blobs.

> Why would I want to run an LLM in the browser, I could just run it natively for better performance?

Why would you try out a new app in a sandboxed browser, when instead you could give it complete access to your entire computer?
True, this is an important distinction that I neglected to mention.

Nevertheless I don't see liability or tax differences as fundamental: I think that, even if there was no legal concept of a corporation being a (kind of) person with special protections, functionally similar structures could and would arise. We already have liability-waiving EULAs everywhere for software, which 99% of people accept without a second thought; perhaps this concept would be much more widespread.

I also think that most people who complain about "corporations" don't carefully distinguish them from other ways of clumping people together for business reasons, like partnerships or trusts -- I think the resentment is mainly around the size and wealth of these clumps. And I think that the differentially wealth-generating tendency of all these people-clumping arrangements comes primarily from the efficiencies (and additional possibilities) afforded by letting the people in them specialise their work, rather than from liability and tax differences.

But admittedly that's my own speculation.
A common issue in this space is that things are either actually illegal, or they break terms of service. Many of these things are at constant risk of being DMCA’d.

My guess is this is a deliberate attempt to not get taken down from GitHub after Netflix find out people are streaming content through different systems.
This is neat.

While only tangentially related, I dove into a rabbit hole not long ago trying to find the best ffmpeg GUI (that doesn't require Wine or a VM to run on macOS) and found some good stuff. Handbrake [1] is great and uses ffmpeg as part of its backend, but it gets somewhat limited when you start requiring more advanced things like vf chains, scripting/automation, obscure/legacy codec support, or specific hardware acceleration needs. I wanted to find something that gets (close to) as densely packed with features as ffmpeg from the command line, and here's what I found. I'm not going to list all their features and pros/cons, but just let others know about some of these as a starting point.

I'm not affiliated with any of these programs (Handbrake and ffmpeg included) in any way, I just want to point others in the right direction if they come across this comment.

StaxRip [2] - One of the most popular and complete options. Seems like one of the the go-tos on the VideoHelp [3] forums for video editing GUIs. Supports AviSynth+ and VapourSynth scripts among other advanced features.

clever FFmpeg-GUI [4] - Another VideoHelp go-to. I'm not 100% sure if this supports AviSynth/VapourSynth, but it's pretty damn feature-complete as far as ffmpeg goes.

Shutter Encoder [5] - Probably has the most intuitive UI of the bunch, it feels much closer to a Premiere Pro/Davinci Resolve type program rather than an ffmpeg wrapper, albeit those applications are much more robust for different tasks.

Hybrid [6] - My favorite out of these, purely because it was easy enough to get running on macOS and didn't sacrifice many ffmpeg features. Also supports AviSynth/VapourSynth.

Honestly, probably didn't even need to comment this; I wish I had more knowledge about these to share in-depth. If you're serious about video encoding, your best bet is to start learning how to use ffmpeg from the command line anyways, then maybe add AviSynth+/VapourSynth into the mix as you see fit, though those are a good deal more advanced than even ffmpeg. Just my two cents.

Conformal learning is relatively new to me. Tell me if I'm getting any of this wrong: Conformal learning is a frequentist approach that uses a calibration set to determine how unusual a prediction is.

It seems like the main time they aren't a strict improvement over bayesian methods is when it is difficult to define your calibration set? I know this scenario isn't so commonplace, but I'm working in a scenario where I quickly looked at conformal learning and wasn't sure if it is applicable.

> WebGPU enables compute shaders, and there are applications in anything that uses a GPU, from ML to physics to audio to … you name it.

I know.

If you have to go through a giant product like Unity for example to use WebGPU because Apple will essentially have its own flavor of WebGPU just like it has its own flavor of everything, is it really cross platform?

Does Apple support Vulkan? No. It was invented for middlewares!

Apple has a flag to toggle on WebGPU on iOS today. I know dude. What does that really mean?

They have such a poor record of support for gamey things on Mobile Safari. No immersive WebXR, a long history of breaking WASM, a long history of poor WebGL 2 and texture compression support. Why is this going to be any different?
For that matter, why would you expose your CPU to a website? Or your monitor? It could show you anything! ;)

Maybe you are not be aware of the number of good web apps that use some WebGL under the hood? You might be using office applications in your browser already that use WebGL when it’s available, and the reason is it makes things faster, more responsive, more scalable, and more efficient. Same would go for WebGPU.

There’s no reason to imagine that the web will do bad things with your resources that you didn’t ask for and don’t have control over. There have been hiccups in the past, but they got fixed. Awareness is higher now, and if there are hiccups, they’ll get fixed.
Interpretability research is basically a projection of the original function implemented by the neural network onto a sub-space of "explanatory" functions that people consider to be more understandable. You're right that the words they use to sell the research is completely nonsensical because the abstract process has nothing to do with anything causal.
Similar to sledgehammer in Isabelle/HOL.
There is also a trap, which is that setting this in /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/sysctl.d doesn't work, because the module isn't always yet loaded when those are set.

One fix is to load nf_conntrack at boot by adding it to the module load list

On a related note, the sosreport tool which collects outputs of a zillion different commands for diagnostics purposes, goes to great lengths and CI tests that no kernel modules are loaded by any of the plugins, for basically this same reason.

e.g. If the modules aren't already loaded, it will avoid running iptables -L and various other tricks:

wow thank you so much for linking this. the journey to this conclusion began simply because i wanted to explain how my lucid dreams could be so realistic. i also came to a satisfying conclusion to the question of free will, many years ago. there are many things that inform how i see and operate in the world but these two tools most of all i cannot imagine living without. the one thing in my life that i still dont have any kind of satisfying answer for is pain. what is pain? do you know if someone cracked it?
I’m still not sure what the point is. WebGPU is an API, is that that you mean by middleware? What’s the issue? Apple will do their own thing, and they might not allow WebGPU on Safari. What bearing does that have on what people using Linux, Windows, Firefox, and Chrome should do? And where exactly is this cross platform claim you’re referring to?
Even the 'foreign' food is adapted to Dutch tastes and considerably toned down. That being said, it's perhaps better than the Dutch cuisine (though more disappointing, because I had expected better from eg the Indian restaurants, whereas I had no great expectations of the Dutch cuisine).

> Why would I want to play a 3D game in my fucking browser of all places?

To provide users a way to instantly play a game without having to download all assets at once. Give developers a potential way to avoid app store royalties of up to 30% on desktop or mobile. With wgpu in rust, you can also target WebGPU as a shared 3d runtime that will run across OS's natively rather than having to target Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX.

> Why would I want to run an LLM in the browser, I could just run it natively for better performance?

What about users who don't know how to download a model and run it locally? I would argue this is the vast majority of users in the world. Also, this specific use case is probably not going to be generalized with WebGPU yet due to model sizes, but rather other APIs like the Prompt API in Chrome which will use Gemini Nano embedded into the browser (assume it will eventually get standardized). https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/built-in-apis

I agree with you that WASM and WebGPU will be used for adware, targeting, and spyware - but if you don't want to use them, you should disable them in your browser settings - there's definitely value add for other users even if you can't see any benefits.

You're so full of it and people like you coming and acting like we haven't objectively improved things do not help anyone at all.

In the last 12 years we have seen the following:

1. Further proliferation of 360 cameras, blind spot monitors, rear and front cameras, digital rear view mirrors, and even some vehicles with in-dash blind-spot cameras and including them down-market. This directly translates to fewer fatalities, especially of children.

2. Further proliferation of HUDs and including them down-market, including augmented reality HUDs from the germans, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road for a larger percentage of the drive. This directly translates to fewer fatalities per mile

3. Better auto-high beam systems, including truly amazing systems from the Germans (to reduce the dazzle issue you brought up above). Also down-market movement of things like auto-turning lights to improve safety of turning at night.

4. Huge improvements in automatic front and rear emergency braking, including for people, cyclists, and children. This is likely the most impactful, and has massively reduced deaths, and minimized the harm of situations that do become harmful.

5. Some cars have automatic evasive turn systems, which occasionally intervene and prevent crashes before they happen similar to 4.

6. Some newer cars have safety stuff like automatic crash based loud noise systems (prepare ears for crash), automatic crash based seat belt pre-tension systems and similar systems to mitigate crash damage. Onstar automatically calls emergency services regardless if you pay and speeds up ambulance and thus life-saving care.

7. Carplay/Android Auto means less time fumbling with deciding where to go. Huge amounts of distraction caused by shit infotainment systems.

So done with people acting like driving is worse because we took 1 or 2 steps back for every 7 we take forward. Ludditism is the human death drive externalized in a lesser form.

The ICC is not under the US control and thus the US sees it as a potentially dangerous organization and the fact that it is in Europe (an influential entity) doesn't make things any better. The US turned a blind eye on the ICC because it used to prosecute its enemies. Now that it's touching its agenda, it makes sense that they do not like it.
Reflecting on the history a bit...

If you think that trying some head of a small thuggish state, founded by its unilateral declaration of sovereignty over someone else's land, while already cleansing it of unruly natives, and terrorizing British officials for years both in Palestine and internationally (like with assassination campaigns and embassy bombings), that dug its own hole over decades into ethno-supremacy based and messianically driven conflict with Palestinians, will in any way degrade legitimacy of a court and treaty joined by 125 sovereign states (with almost all "western" ones included), then you're deluding yourself.

Especially when he's being explicitly tried for his role in ensuring that children have to suffer amputations and women get c-sections without anesthesia (among other things), which has nothing to do with defense of Israel.

If anything ICC standing rose a bit in many people's eyes today, slightly above the "court for african warmongers only", where it was previously.
I'd say that's a separate problem. It's not "is the use of language necessary for reasoning?" which seems to be obviously answered "no", but rather "is the use of language sufficient for reasoning?".
You can use my Sciter if you need native widgets.

Sciter is an HTML/CSS/JS engine with the ability to attach native widgets to DOM elements. So you'll benefit from two worlds: HTML/CSS layout richness and native widgets.

The major problem though is Linux family of OSes in this respect. I have version of Sciter that works directly on X11 or Wayland ( https://sciter.com/sciter-glx-generation-4/ ). Windows and MacOS have clear concept of child windows/widgets but no such things on X11 or Wayland realistically speaking.

So react-native is practically iOS/Android only thing.
