I think everything that you said is false.

But let's say that it isn't. Just for the sake of argument.

Will it still hold against $100 drones? $50 drones? $10 drones?

History is replete with examples of lessons of the eternal struggle between offense and defense. While we have come of age in a time where defense has conquered offense there is no guarantee that this will remain the status quo.

If we are entering a period where offense exceeds the capabilities of defense how will the wealthy respond? In the age of technology destroying the status quo is there any reason to believe that this will extend to the status quo of the wealthy having an advantagous defensive posture?

What does the future where anyone can fuck someone elses shit up without regard to their social status look like?
The quality of reddit's data is different from other data I encounter online.

It represents information more closely related to people's lives. People share information there that is closely related to the topic of the subreddit. This may not always be the case, but even though I spend much, much less time on reddit than I did in 2011, many, many people are contributing to this day.

That spigot of connection to the real world through text sounds valuable to AI based on TFA. I feel the oil analogy would be about the quality and the ease of extraction of the stake
Housing in Ireland isn't a free market. We have had a chronic shortage of housing for decades, but the influx of asylum seekers has put more pressure on it. Renters stand in lines half a mile long to view a grotty shoe-box that costs more than a mortgage. But yeah, maybe in other places it's different.

Yes, food is a free market right now, and in addition, it's subsidised (well, production is). Wait 20 years though, if climate change driven storms and floods destroy whole crops, that could change things dramatically.

You don't get the three major religions with community at the core, in a place like Mars. It is Mediterranean coast with documented habitation spanning millenia. The incredibly dehumanising colonial propaganda, that is a land without people for a people without land, is just that; A dehumanising propaganda which reduces the native population to savages and not-human.
It would make no difference at best for token generation and would actually run slower for prompt processing since it has fewer gflops than the CPU cores.

If you do one thing to help, never call it the market. It's the restrictions on the market.
Sure, they are slowly getting added, but the incentives are pretty low. The vast majority of apartment-dwellers charge either at work (if they are lucky enough to work for a large enough company that builds chargers) or at a public charging station

> placing banner ads in the middle of textbooks would be a dystopia

The far-less capitalist, far more revered society that is Germany actually did this, far before the age of surveillance capitalism.

Not sure about textbooks speficically, but it was definitely a thing with fiction, to the point of editing foreign books so that the ad would form part of the plot.

See e.g. https://gmkeros.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/terry-pratchett-and...
I think you're still missing something, it's also not about "getting lucky" (though in real life, yes, that's often important), it's about someone who has the power to reward you, knowing what you've done, intentionally rewarding you with much less than your friend who did the same things as you. That's what they are measuring. The subjects in the experiment can see that the experimenter is observing the work they are doing, and can see how the experimenter consistently rewards the other subject differently. It's much more like when people at the workplace can see how much money their colleagues are making, while having visibility of what each other is doing, and noticing that some are getting much more money at the end of the month (which is one reason employers try as hard as possible to hide their employees' salaries).
Please return Brendan Eich and the old mos://a logo instead of the green yelling bird.
The law is about what he is spending. If I go and pay for ads on my own initiative, he doesn't need to declare it just like Basescu didn't declare all the stuff NGOs paid for him back in the days.

EDIT: I do find it impossible for him to spend 0 on it though. You have to travel from A to B (at the very least)
It is “open weight”. Mark Zuckerberg keeps calling it open source and everyone copies him, but you are right. It is not open source.
That is simply not true. You are speaking about the past. In the present and the future, especially as superchargers open up to other brands and more NEVI chargers get built in the second half of this decade, I see absolutely no reason people would “come to Tesla.”

I would put money on the opposite, and on people moving to other brands.

> If you are a tech leader/senior engineer with influence on these matters, I HOPE, that this is not the path you take.

On-site interviews should be the standard path to take to detect the frauds and cheaters before they become potential bad hires.

Online technical assessments now have little added value given that AI tools like finalround.ai, etc just make it easy for frauds to cheat the technical interview.

This is actually a strong argument to a return to on-site interviews and should just draw the line on this and detect the frauds altogether.

What are you on about? I made a general statement about authoritarian regimes and genocides and ideology.

Gaza, Sudan, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Syria, Myanmar, China, Ethiopia, Ukraine, you name it. We have several active genocides and government-led terror campaigns built upon projection and manufactured consent.

I literally made no claims about Ukrainian soldiers doing anything. Did you respond to the right comment? Your link just goes to a Wikipedia page on a music festival, with zero information relating to your comment.
Thanks for the response! It’s always nice to know when some incidental thing you remark on has helped someone. Thinking back, I suppose I struggled with understanding the SVG <feGaussianBlur stdDev> parameter when messing around with complicated filters in Inkscape a few years back, for much the same reasons. And I didn’t actually know the ¾√2π until today, I just knew that a factor of 2 was a little more than enough. I’m glad for the note being attached to the spec, it’s a great note.

Although people often talk of blur radii, it might help to remember it’s a standard deviation. Take the curve in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_filter#/media/File:Ga..., and a Gaussian blur is taking so much of each pixel value, most from the closest ones, less from further away, negligible by two standard deviations away, but only asymptotic to zero; hence the “theoretically infinite extent” the spec note mentioned. But the ¾√2π thing will probably be good enough forever.

This isn't true. Honestly every time I've looked, a therapist taking my typical insurance just took making about 50 phone calls. Most people make five phone calls and then give up.
This comment only has a slight amount of ground to stand on if you actually have a bunch of friends, otherwise it's just "hell is other people".
Not the answer you were looking for, but I had been shopping recently for slightly overlapping reasons (I want to ship projects, but they are all smaller MVPs that might run for a while and I didn't want to pay for 1 database service for each one on Render).

I found https://www.thenile.dev/pricing which supports which apparently supports unlimited databases.
Thank you.
Semicolons make parsing easier and, removing them is backwards-compatible, so I decided to add them for ease of parsing and might remove them in the future.

Tree Style Tabs. uBlock Origin.

There, I rewrote it for you.
The way the LLMs work is you feed them a vector, array of numbers, that represents a sequence of tokens.

You turn the crank and you get a probability distribution for the next token in the sequence. You then sample the distribution to get the next token, append it to the vector, and do it again and again.

Thus the typical LLM have no memory as such, it inferes what it was thinking by looking at what it has already said and uses that to figure out what to say next, so to speak.

The characters in the input prompt are converted to these tokens, but there are also special tokens such as start of input, end of input, start of output and end of output. The end of output token is how the LLM "tells you" it's done talking.

Normally in a chat scenario these special tokens are inserted by the LLM front-end, say Ollama/llama.cpp in this case.

However if you interface more directly you need to add these yourself, and hence can prefill out the output before feeding the vector to the LLM for the first time, and thus the LLM will "think" it already started writing code say, and thus it is likely to continue doing so.
Employing someone is renting their labor.

How do you find an apartment rental in a large city with thousands of options?

You can’t expect to visit them all. And you certainly can’t come up with increasingly bizarre torture tests for landlords to pass (“I might rent from you if you can answer enough trick questions about tenant law within 15 minutes”).

To find the apartment, you probably sample enough of the options to form a picture of what’s available, and then make a decision knowing that you didn’t have perfect information but you had to move ahead. The same applies to hiring.
true, I only wish Firefox could bridge some of the performance gap, but frankly, it's pretty fine as it is

- Firefox Sync is much better than Safari/Chrome options, you can close tabs remotely, sending tabs is instantaneous and never fails (Chrome IME was flaky)

- as the article mentions, a lot of mobile addons, including Stylus and the *Monkey userscript addons, I have cloud sync set up for both and it's nice to have userscripts running on all platforms

- Tree Style Tabs is still the best UI for managing tabs in any browser I've used

- browser UI customization via userChrome.css file, and user.js for persistent about:config flags, every time you set up a new Chrome profile, have to set up flags manually

- it's fast (enough), ironically I switched from Chrome after I started have inexplicable slowdowns that I couldn't solve by disabling extensions or a new profile, since the Manifest V2 moment was upon us, I took the opportunity to give Firefox a try again

HD DVDs all rotted from the red dye in the packaging. You can't play them anymore if they were stored in the original cases.
That's interesting but isn't electronic commerce a subset of technology? Because it's technology and the internet and technology entrepreneurs that have enabled e-commerce to become a thing. Most, if not all of the headlines on your site looks like they would be welcome articles posted here that would engage discussion.

Of course visiting the site second time it's now prompting me for money. That's a very e-commerce thing that makes people click away. Why would I subscribe to a site like hacker News, Even if I was mostly interested in e-commerce-based things? So I suspect you are doing the very anti-hacker news thing and very e-commerce centered thing of loading me up with tracking cookies. Good job!
I use it most of the time. But it's indeed not perfect.
For example, on Linux, quite a few Youtube videos won't play and sometimes they even crash the browser. Other websites have also crashed it for me, but I can't remember which ones, it just happens every now and then on random websites... The problem was so bad that I switched to using Chromium on my Linux machine.

On Mac and iOS, it seems to be more stable and it's still my main browser.
Sometimes, not always. Depends on how similar specific characters happen to be.
Really?! It's even a bigger memory hog than Chrome!

Stack Overflow has been bad for a decade or more. Of course it's dying. When people don't get answers they go elsewhere. When enough have gone elsewhere there is no one left to keep the website alive.

I never go to Stack Overflow by choice unless specifically directed there via Google.
I want it to be as free as possible, neo4j only let’s you run a single database in non-Enterprise mode. We are building a consumer product, where the database is embedded and not centralized in a cloud, so my focus is perhaps different from most.
Both neo4j and dgraph comes with additional non-compete clauses, but DGraph’s work for our use case.

Subjectively I’d prefer neo4j. I have been following the company since its inception.
How did you go about finding cheap short term rentals?
I feel the issue with all of these was general uptake required for companies to produce enough content for it to be worth owning.

Firefox doesn't have that issue. It is a more fully featured browser across mobile and desktop with access to the exact same content as Chrome or Safari.

I converted from TST to Sidebery years ago and haven't looked back, but generally agree with the sentiment.
There's no event for the dialog about to close, only an event for after the dialog closes. You can prevent default on the enter key and space key, but that obviously breaks the form ux.

There is an event for the dialog about to close from pressing the escape key. No idea why it's only for closing via escape key.
The issue with the paywall is that this is hard to have enough good bank card to be able to pay without such an ugly thing as payment processors. Also any bank cards I have experienced can not pay anything less than 1$ without absurdly high comissions. If the paywall costs you literally less than 0.01$ with all kinds of comissions and having no authorization which means that the government can neither read your webpage purchases nor block them - would you still call it a paywall?

I am sure that even sub 0.01$ payments will effectively filter 90% of the spammers.
It's still top 10 played on steam, which is incredible really, and while it might never be number 1 best seller in the short term, it's probably out-sold many of the games that did get "number 1" in the year it was released.

Any reading on the topic you could point me to? Whenever I head about vestigial DNA, I’m reminded of the preserved wetlands which forced the roads to arc the long way around it. And in so doing, structurally affected traffic despite no cars ever going inside its bounds.

I guess what I’m wondering how we can be sure that structure is function but non-coding structure has no function and exerts no selective pressure - isn’t the Golgi apparatus analogously “non-coding”?
On iOS, all browsers (well except Safari) use Safari webview with customized browser GUI.
This brings up a very old memory: the readme of Volkov Commander said the author of it is some nuclear institute in Kyiv. Yup.

(Also, I uploaded Volkov Commander to SIMTEL 31 years ago and the ignorant asshole running that site reported me to the university for pirating Norton Commander and they banned me from the university VAX leading me straight to Linux. Funny how that worked out.)
My question in these events is, so why not investigate it and block the running BEFORE the vote? People only care about illegal hiding of funds post elections? Why even let it go on if you can get evidence so quickly just after? In these 6 days what came out that wasn't out say, 10 or 20 days before voting day?
No, Nderitu was fired because their own application of the word genocide did not meet the UN's requirements. Your logic is backwards.

Nice try at denialism, though. Your words are easily reversed. Israel hates Palestine for existing. And the US-Israeli military industrial complex blame the Israeli attacks on Palestinians on the Palestinians, every day, like you're doing right now.

Probably best to just leave it at that, it's going to take a while to get your foot out of your mouth.
Another example of a pushover license failing the purpose a developer wants it to serve. Should have used some copyleft license, that mandates sharing of modifications. The one that comes to mind is of course AGPL, which would have avoided the whole scenario of it being closed and hidden in the first place. Maybe someone will learn a lesson now.
I'm skeptical that falling birth rates have much to do with the demands of a dual working household.

Look at Europe which has significant maternity and paternity leave, subsidized daycare and free college. Lots and lots of support for young parents.

Yet birth rates haven't really budged.

I think it has more to do with the expectation of how much effort to raise a kid has drastically increased.

75 years ago, you'd pump out 5 kids and they'd be independent quite young. By 4-5 years old it was "go find something to do". As long as the kid wasn't failing school, grades didn't matter. If the kid was involved in school sports, they made their own way to events. Parents didn't attend regularly. By the time they were 7-8, they could help with the younger kids.

By the time your kids was a 8-10, it was pretty much "keep em fed and out of trouble".

Today, expectations are way, way higher. Parents worry about what elementary school their kids get into. After school academic and sports activities start super young. Parents want to attend the big events. Then high school and it time to grind. Tutors, SAT prep, college tours, etc, etc. Minimal chores because that would interfere with school and sports.

One kid today is equal to the effort of 3-4 kids 75 years ago.
I would recommend going and interviewing and changing companies. Get anyone else to hire you, it's better than zero income, and then you can figure out if it's the culture of your company bothering you.

I feel you should investigate this more, as this isn't normal. I feel it could be related to a combination of OS or ram as I have found FF to be the most stable browser I've used running it on Fedora and Android. I've had no crashes and no issues with any media consumption.

Current HN title:

> Firefox Is the Superior Browser

Original article title:

> Switching to Firefox

An important thing that both titles miss: this is talking about Firefox for Android. The things discussed in the first section mostly actually happened around desktop Firefox, but the rest of the article is exclusively about Firefox for Android.

Please, HN, a request: given that this is what the article is about, could we please make this discussion about Firefox for Android, and leave desktop Firefox alone as much as possible? Firefox versus Chrome on desktop gets discussed frequently¹, we all know the arguments; but Firefox versus Chrome on Android doesn’t, and the calculus is quite interestingly different. For example, the first two points raised are mobile-only, as they’re things both give you on desktop, but only Firefox on Android.

—⁂—

¹ My guess is that there’s a dedicated Firefox- or Chrome-related thread that ends focusing on such matters in some way at least once every couple of months, and a few more minor subtheads in between.
"just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Today, I guarantee you that candidates will eventually take that risk to cheat in the online assessment stage in the hopes of getting an offer from the company and will likely turn into a bad hire.

Not hiring them is better than a bad hire.

If it were me, I would not use Hackerrank, Leetcode, or other online puzzles sites. Instead it would be just a conversation in to just show me your open source contributions in large repositories or you building projects (open / closed) that others are using.

That is it.

For contributions, they must be under public code review or you doing the review and for open source projects they shouldn't be hello world / test projects but useful to others which are used as dependencies in other larger open-source projects.

A basic easy conversation that rids of 95% of cheaters and frauds and those who cannot code.
