Do you really think the DOJ forcing Chrome out of Google is out of context for this discussion?

>please do not use anything they build

I actually try not to.
Those are also extreme though.
This is amplified even more by the fact that only the trivial implementation of matmul is O(n^3) whereas efficient ones (e.g BLAS) use things like the Strassen algorithm. You can also speed it up significantly by using cache-aware approaches when retrieving rows and columns. In practice there is a huge amount of theory behind this that is far beyond the average person's scope if they are not actual researchers.

I'm not sure whether you're asking this question in good faith, but I think as with any moral spectrum, you draw the line where your best reflective judgment tells you to?
I think "in its very borders" was supposed to mean "to its very borders". That is not Russian propaganda. Ukraine in NATO being "the brightest of red lines" comes from a leaked telegram from CIA director William Burns:

Show HN: Speak naturally in any language, get polished English writing
I've been working in English for over 10 years and while I've improved significantly, expressing complex thoughts in written form remains challenging. That's why I built TalkText AI.
I think of it as having a writing expert colleague who helps me write. You speak naturally in any language, even mixing languages like Spanglish, and it transforms your thoughts into professional English writing. It saves time and helps me communicate complex ideas without getting stuck on grammar or word choice.

For speech recognition, I'm using Whisper, which has been a game-changer for handling mixed languages like Spanglish and thick accents like mine. Then ChatGPT refines the output into polished English based on your configuration (content format & writing style).

Try it here: https://talktext-ai.web.app/

Would love feedback from other non-native English speakers in the HN community.

FaceTime's audio quality is both higher data rate and better audio codecs. FaceTime uses AAC audio and samples at close to the full audible audio band. It also uses a relatively high data rate compared to typical voice calls.

LTE and 5G has the option of higher quality voice codecs (EVS) than older cellular networks when using VoLTE or VoNR. They support wider band sampling and higher data rates for better quality audio. Why most voice calls sound bad is inter-carrier compatibility still sucks. Typically calls will downgrade to AMR-WB or AMR-NB (8KHz and 4kHz sampling respectively).

FaceTime calls, or any other pure IP voice services, don't need to downgrade codecs to interoperate. They might have to change encoded bitrates based on network conditions but never go with some lowest common denominator codec because another user is on a different network.
The government being elected representatives who are there to put forth their constituents best interests.

We need to move beyond this far right "gunermant" bad nonsense and start holding our officials accountable. We shouldn't cuckold ourselves to the capitalist's whims because we're too impotent to assert ourselves.
Is 100k somehow a small number? How many of them are working on YouTube? To prioritize an issue and not another is a deliberate act, and YouTube has had problems in Firefox for years.
It can be many things really, Sometimes the issue is on Google's end, sometimes it's on Sony - OEMs are also not great at implementing things properly too. So it can be on either end - even if Iphone seems to work.
ubi https://github.com/houseabsolute/ubi is the one I know, as it is available in mise https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/backends/ubi.html
It doesn't. It also has no defenses against DoS attacks, intentional or inadvertent. It is the perfect software for people with no experience distributing videos.
Interaction in quantum physics is something that remains abstract at a certain level. So long as conservation principles are satisfied (include probability summing to one), interactions are permitted (i.e., what is permitted is required).
does your entire argument hinge around the definition of a pep? i really don't care. wanting to stop people from getting debanked is a legitimate cause and you're making really weird comments while trying to pretend that you're not arguing the opposite
your question appears facetious in nature, but it's interesting to think about what the answer might be. I'd guesstimate 30 - 50 years before manufacturing technology reaches that point, but once it does, how long will it take to clear the regulatory hurdles? i bet it would take at least as long as the time from viable drone deliveries -> legal drone deliveries.
interesting work, but not sure how truthful it is - a cigarette habit does not make one an unstoppable NicotiNator, a smartphone addiction does not make one a cyborg.
So you're saying Google sends something different to Firefox causing performance issues yet when Firefox pretends to be Chrome, it works better. Seems sus to me.
Dioxus drastically lacks in ecosystem. There is not a single component library out there. I'm also not sure about virtual DOM.

I do track and use their main competitor - Leptos.
Not so blatant but the fact remains that just treating FF like their own would eliminate the large bad bugs referenced in the post.
> eBay is a second price auction too most people just don't use it like one. You can place a huge maximum bid and will only pay the second highest bid plus an increment. It just automatically semi-unseals bids as new bids come in so it looks a lot more like a live outcry auction.

This sounds small, but it's a huge difference. Let's I know that some widget is actually extremely valuable, and would be willing to pay up to $1,000. You don't know this, and are willing to pay $80. In a true second-price auction I put in $1000, you put in $80, the bids are unsealed and I pay $80.

But with the e-bay system, if I put in $1,000 at the beginning I've partially tipped my hand by bidding it up to $80. You started with some uncertainty about the value of the object, but knowing that I agree it's worth at least $80 pushes you in the direction of thinking it's worth more. This is a major advantage of sniping: by putting your bid in only at the last minute you keep others from reacting to your bid by changing theirs, and so convert the auction into something much closer to a true second-price auction.
> The meaning of the dotted orange curve is different in this plot.

I really think it would have been better to have two different colors for the two transfer orbits. Changing the meaning of part of your notation like that is needlessly confusing, and misses the chance to show the full shape of both transfer orbits as well.
Honestly, this just Roko's Basilisk but even dumber.

I use phone call quality as my prime example of why most people don't actually care about quality.
I don’t think it’s that surprising. Here’s two true statements:

I don’t trust my phone on a fundamental level. I also have mentioned things out loud and gotten ads afterward about them.

On the one hand, those two statements absolutely don’t prove that my phone is listening. Just because I don’t trust my phone doesn’t mean that it’s being used maliciously, and the ads I’ve seen might just be a coincidence.

On the other hand, those two statements together are definitely suggestive. They feel suspicious. It would be so easy for Apple/Google/Samsung to secretly listen and make a boatload of money by telling me a lie. Lord knows they’ve lied about other things.

So yeah, balance of evidence is that phones probably don’t do that. But don’t be surprised when people suspect that they do.
No. One of them is feeding people, all people. One of them is actively working on systems designed to kill people and only kill people

No matter how heinous you may find his speech, in America, under the First Amendment, Jones (or any nutball or even Nazi you may choose to pick) has a right to say it - even if he has a large Radio and Podcast megaphone.

The First Amendment is nearly absolute, and must protect unpopular and offensive speech even more than it protects popular speech.

(Don't start with the bogus "fire in a crowded theater exception" - that wording comes from Schenk v. United States (which was not even a 1A case, but involved the Espionage Act), and was nearly entirely overturned in 1969's Brandenburg v. Ohio. The clear falsity of the "Fire!" claim has repeatedly and wrongly used as a justification for suppressing speech for a century, to the detriment of us all.)
I've used PeerTube for years and it has always baffled me how laughably bad its user experience is. Literally so bad that I've never told someone about it without them immediately just asking me stuff instead of getting the information - or even better: videos that the person wanted to see - from the website(s).

Maybe the mobile client is a step in the right direction? I can hope! But the fact that I have to tell people "okay, so sepiasearch is kind of like the youtube front page...ish?" is already just infinitely dumb. Make a damn client whose name indicates, in some way, that it's a video website. And then shows some damn videos on the front page. Randomize them if you really can't stand "algorithms", but honestly, just put some videos on a page with "videos" in the url (or something similar), and you can cut down on most of the confusion I've seen.

Engineers get so lost up their own asses about this stuff because they can't see that UX is entirely divorced from functional processes. The user needs to do thing X, and the computers can only provide processes Y, Z, etc; forcing the user to reconcile with Y and Z just because they want X is the definition of "programmer design". It's refusing to engage with the very real ways in which users understand and interact with services, for whatever sake the engineers want to make up ("I don't like to obfuscate what is happening", "this is not complicated. users should be able to understand", "it would waste resources to provide a more streamlined experience", etc. These are all terrible reasons to not bridge the interaction gap between developers and users). Bluesky is my favorite example of people abstracting away the complications of this stuff. Yes, they had to centralize some parts to start with, yes they had to compromise on features - but the damn thing is instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with microblog social media. That's all peertube has had to do for years now, and they have just staunchly refused to do it.

Like I said, hopefully the mobile app is their first steps in the right direction with this stuff. They've been doing the dev stuff - made it work, made it fast, made it good! Now they just need to do the user stuff - make it simple, make it familiar, make it accessible.
Yeah i totally do understand what you're saying. I miss having mathematica available on any machine for instance on a campus site license, which i used for years overlapping yours too!
>A technical problem is that during winter, the temperature of buried devices can drop quickly, creating a possibility that the mechanisms of the mine will cease working due to low temperatures in the winter.[5] Various methods were studied to solve this problem, such as wrapping the bombs in insulating blankets.

One proposal suggested that live chickens would be sealed inside the casing, with a supply of food and water.[6] They would remain alive for approximately a week. Their body heat would apparently have been sufficient to keep the mine's components at a working temperature.
Well, sorry if that was offensive, I should have used "they" in case of doubt.
Or just use something else like Kamal or Dokku.
must not have been clear then. what's bad about a site you can log in to and share your information so that it helps others? and provides you with information and data that allows you to make better, more well-informed decisions for you and your loved ones? that's absolutely good by any rational standard, no question about it.
WhatsApp after that Facebook acquisition has simply become worse.

I’m realizing the term “charter school” is probably overloaded.

The charter school my wife taught at (in CA) had to prove itself to the district and fight for public dollars, hence the inability to lose any kids (and dollars).

The charter school I went to years ago sounds more like the kind you’re talking about. Basically a private school that received no public funding.

We're well past 2016, but Stratechery had an opinion that Dropbox focused too much on infrastructure projects like this and would have had more success focused on improving product/market fit.

"That's why I actually find this announcement really disappointing. Apparently Dropbox has been devoting significant resources for at least two years to a project that will no doubt have a positive impact on the bottom line but a minimal impact on the top line. It's all well-and-good (and honestly impressive) to announce 500 million registered users, but the reluctance to disclose both active users and especially the number (and size) of its business customers speaks even more loudly. How might have the product and company evolved if the company had continued to rely on AWS and devoted its resources to fixing its product-market fit problem?"

Man, posts like this just make me depressed. It's full of "have a career so you can have money to solve your problems". If you're un/underemployed you're out of luck.
DevRel never lived. It was a fancy title for "Technical Writer/Marketer" that got accidentally turned into a career in the same way Data Science did. As the article mentions, VC "long term" investment and the assumption that DevRel = conversions was what sunk the ship for everyone.

If companies wanted DevRel to live then they wouldn't have turned them into door-to-door salesmen and cold-callers. The nice and politically correct answer is that the job doesn't make sense in this economy, but I'd argue people never knew what they wanted in the first place.
That's just a 6 month old reddit post by a random dude. If they're blocking firefox, they're doing it very badly, because I just spent all morning watching football highlight videos running firefox on linux, adblocked, sponsorblocked (https://sponsor.ajay.app/), forging my referer, blocking cookies, with userscripts to unlock private and age-restricted videos, without being logged in.

With my setup, youtube can be broken for months on end. It's running like silk right now.
Y'all weren't kidding. After the first full track I knew I couldn't treat it like background music. I just gave the album an uninterrupted listen this morning.

I had an outpouring of emotion. Incredibly moving.

Thank you both for sharing.
There are already professional societies for other engineers (IEEE for example), but I think there are engineers that work for military applications.

It is a complicated topic I think; on one hand lots of people don’t want to work in those types of applications. On the other, we have a decision-making process for how violence is applied. If we are going to start inserting more veto points in there (which I think is a good idea), I don’t know that “has some rare technical skill” would the first qualifying characteristic I’d look at, right?
We hear that all the time from all sides though. This is a bit reductive, but the people who commonly shout "The US shouldn't be the world police!" are the same people who are begging the US to send more and more money and munitions to Ukraine.
In almost every example you cited, the very wealthy people were also very stupid and violated bedrock principles of the court system in a way that could not be swept under the rug. Specifically:

- Elon Musk put it in writing that he was going to buy Twitter with no due diligence. Contracts are nine tenths of the law; no court in the world is going to get you out of one because the biggest value the court system has to the wealthy is contract enforcement.

- Alex Jones never actually argued the merits of the defamation case against him. He didn't even show up to court. Judges have wide latitude to rule against people who don't show up to defend their cases, because otherwise nobody would be dumb enough to actually defend themself in a (neutral) court of law.

- One of the few things US law can actually still protect you against is all the classic failure modes of banks and investments, both because the wealthy demand protection for their wealth and because the less-wealthy have been fleeced by investment fraud for so long that the list of memestock victims includes Issac Newton. SBF did the one kind of financial crime that the system actually cares about[0].

Today's system is corrupt on the margins: it needs to at least provide the appearance of impartiality, because the wealthy still rely on it being an impartial arbitrator of competing interests. In 1500s England, wealthy people didn't get divorces, they got annulments, where they paid a priest to go squint at Bible verses and find something to explain why the marriage was spiritually invalid. The wealthy person gets to sidestep the rules, but only if someone can find their desired loophole. Sometimes, they can't.

And then sometimes a Henry VIII comes along, tries to have it both ways, gets told no, says "fuck that, I'm the church now", and completely replaces the partially corrupt system with a completely corrupt one. Matt Mullenweg seems to be playing at the same bit, doing ideological purges of Automattic and such; but he doesn't own the WordPress community, and he doesn't own the law.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because it might not survive convicted felon / ex-President / President-Elect Donald Trump, depending on how many of Big Tech's Henry VIIIths come running to Trump for protection from countries that actually enforce their antitrust laws.

“Let’s say you have a bug that makes a server handling requests by immediately failing them.”

Perhaps such designs should build progress indicators into the servers’ responses. If not visible (eg crytpo), maybe the response size is a hint where the error messages are always a specific, small size. The load balancer would then look for progress indicators or error signatures when assigning weights.
> not tested 10 trillion times a day

Perhaps not, but it might be close: essentially every message sent between every component of every service on every machine in every datacenter Google operates gets encoded as a protobuf. Engineering at Google consists of populating protobufs to send to other services, which reply with protobufs containing the data you need to stuff into more protobufs, which you can then send on to further different services.

We can, in other words, safely conclude that protobuf scales.
Yikes! I would love sipping coffee watching the chief architect chew up whoever suggested that. That sounds awful even on a microcontroller.

Depending on when you tried that, there is no such label "username" in view-source:https://news.ycombinator.com/login?goto=news

<table border="0"><tr><td>username:</td><td><input type="text" name="acct" size="20" autocorrect="off" spellcheck="false" autocapitalize="off" autofocus="true"></td></tr><tr><td>password:</td><td><input type="password" name="pw" size="20"></td></tr></table><br>

as they only put text username not <label> and the input is named "acct" (without even the common decency to include autocomplete=username)

So if your script really did write that string into a what it thinks is 'username' then that's arguably one more thing to debug when its wizardry goes awry in some unknown way
> Engineers get so lost up their own asses about this stuff because they can't see that UX is entirely divorced from functional processes.

This is one of the main reasons that open source has never penetrated beyond engineers, IT people, and computer hobbyists.

The problem is that when you are good at using computers it's not easy to see how unbelievably confusing they are to people who are not good at using them.

The other is that there's no funding system to pay people to do the not-fun parts of programming or to maintain the more user-facing aspects of projects.
The history of the United Fruit Company is covered in detail in the book "The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King". It details how Samuel Zemurray rose from poor fruit peddlar, to one of the most powerful men in the world. It is an interesting read.
Jones was also completely hostile to the courts and legal process. That will get you a larger punishment than someone who did the same actions but respected the court.
