Some people are just wired differently. It's the difference between the person who will get out of their own car and help someone push theirs or the person who will intercede when someone is being assaulted instead of walking past.

I don't know, it's almost kind of like saying that newborn babies are illiterate by choice. Not everybody cares about computers or how to use them, they just want to find that restaurant address or read this news article or whatever. They don't have time or interest to learn how to use computers.

Here at HN, there is a certain style of discussion and expectation of behavior. By maintaining it here, we actually have more diversity of opinion and expression on the internet as a whole. Parallels to miscegenation, ironically.

Tested, it forces default to javascript except for few noscript/basic (x)html browsers without user agent override.

Namely, the default is "javascript mandatory" unless your user agent is explicitely known as a noscript/basic (x)html browser, sneaky and classic dark pattern abusing the "default".

It kills any future noscript/basic (x)html attempt. In theory, they should be fined heavily until they re-enable the noscript/basic (x)html default unless there is a technically simpler protocol to get search results from their beyand dominant search engine.

I think a lot of people get the privilege to be wrong by relying on status and brand name recognition. It’s a sad and dangerous tradition which needs to be addressed.
One thing though: is you're adding "RSS" support, use Atom for the feed, not actual RSS. Everything supports Atom that supports RSS, it's no harder to implement, less ambiguous, less prone to breaking, and has a richer vocabulary that doesn't require you resort to pulling in additional vocabularies via namespaces.

I cringe every time I see a feed that uses RSS and then pulls in Atom for some of elements. If you're going to do that, then just use Atom for the whole thing rather than building a frankenfeed.

It depends. Plenty of developers have burned out due to support and maintenance work they don't appreciate (understandably). There's no silver bullet solution but delegating certain tasks to the community (if there's one) is one way to overcome it. Picking the right license also helps.
There are ways to detect that and it will still require a lot of CPU and ram behind the proxies.

Chrome is probably the worst browser possible to run for these things, so it's not the basis for comparison.

We have many smaller browsers, that run javascript, that work on low powered devices as well.

Starting from webkit and stripping down the rendering parts just to execute JavaScript and process the DOM, the RAM usage would be significantly lower.
Did you actually check it? Sonnet 3.5 generates text that seems legitimate and generally correct, but misreads important details. LLMs are particularly deceptive because they will be internally consistent - they'll reuse the same incorrect name in both places and will hallucinate information that seems legit, but in fact is just made-up.

> And all of us engineers get paid REALLY WELL because people sell software for us. Software is cheap relative to its value.

That's not at all clear, an it's its own can of worms.

A lot of software, even widely-used software, may as well have negative real value, because its perceived value is just an accounting trick. Any time you see software allowing someone to do something that required a specialist before, particularly in company setting, it's more than likely that the value is negative. Think e.g. everyone doing their own expenses. A company used to have a bunch of moderately paid jobs dedicated to doing that. Naturally, people doing those jobs quickly got very efficient at it. In comes software, those jobs get eliminated, and now you're having everyone - including all the absurdly highly paid engineers (software or otherwise) - having to semi-regularly (not regularly enough to get efficient at it) drop what they're doing and spend half a day or more on doing expenses. Productivity goes down across the board for obvious reasons. But, what the business sees, is a) legible savings on eliminated finance jobs, and b) mysterious "costs disease" that seems to be affecting the company (and market at large), keeping productivity below expectations.

Mysterious my ass.

Then, a lot of software is directly or indirectly serving adtech. This is where most of the high salaries in tech come from. Software is cheap and programmers are paid well because it's all funded by scamming everyday people and ruining their lives. That's a nearly inexhaustible money source. The actual value of all that software provides people, integrated over the entire society? Deeply in the negative.

Then, there's plenty of SaaS businesses that would be more ergonomic and efficient if replaced by an Excel spreadsheet. Those deliver negative value to customers almost by definition.

Etc.

Sure, there's some software that's delivering way more value than it costs. But there's much less of such software than people think.

I think the implication is that this is due to differing building codes. Europe builds houses with brick and concrete, that aren't so easily torn apart. That the difference is in housing quality, not in the weather.

I agree with this assessment. The copy is a little to generalized. Just by adding the word Startup to your headline, a reader would get a better understanding about what you do. Personally, I would drop the phrase Artificial Intelligence from the headline. I don't think it's necessary. Instead you should put the benefits you listed in its place.

Algorithmic content, and how that can be used to shape a chosen narrative, is an important issue. However, it's much more closely related to propaganda rather than censorship.

Show HN: Rust crate for artisanally crafted CLIs, TUIs, and text-based IO
I recently built and open sourced iocraft, a new Rust crate for TUIs. It allows you to build portable and beautiful looking TUIs (or even just simple printouts) using a declarative, React-like syntax.

I think it hits a sweet spot that no previously existing TUI library for Rust did, and for anyone familiar with React or SwiftUI, the API should feel right at home. Take a look, give it a try, and let me what you think!

They are going to make Google search even more broken than it is already? Be my guest! Since they are an ads business, I guess they don't really care about their search any longer, or they have sniffed some potential to gather even more information on users using Google, if they require running JS for it to work. Who knows. But anyone valuing their privacy has long left anyway.
I wondered this as well.

Thinking about it, if all you have is "invert some (N>1?) bits somewhere and jump to somewhere" .. I could see maybe it might work if you use self modifying code and there's really a 2nd instruction that is a no-op? Seems like it might work more like a cellular automata?

Of course, one could just go look at the documentation, but where's the fun in that?

Use whatever elements you need from Atom. Atom is a functional superset of RSS 2.0, and if you're hit with analysis paralysis, using only the functionality that exists in RSS 2.0 in your Atom feed.

Atom exists because RSS is ambiguous and prone to breakage. The "bells and whistles" exist only because there were a lot of common extensions at the time that made sense to fold into Atom itself. Even if you use none of that and just the bits that overlap with RSS 2.0, your feed will be less likely to break in random feed readers, and that's enough reason to use Atom over RSS.

In this day and age, there's no good reason to use RSS over Atom beyond brand recognition.

(Yes, I'm still salty from the feed wars of the 2000s, but I still stand by all that I've written above.)

You’re going to have to work on that analogy a little more and come back to me
An example I experienced was an employee accidentally shipping keys/certs to a vendor in a support dump of a network device.

I had to revoke the certs and in anticipation I pulled together customer support, engineering, legal, various security orgs in the event that revocation would cause outages from cached certs from middle boxes of which there were plenty or other weird b2b setups.

It turned out to be a nothing-burger. None of the browsers or MitM proxies actually did anything with revocation and happily used the revoked certs without even a single warning from tens of millions of end users and system. This was around 2014. Curious if that has changed and if anyone here has tested revocation in a staging environment that has devices that cache certs.
That’s the argument the article makes but the reasoning is a little questionable on a few fronts:

- It uses f16 for the data format whereas quantization can reduce the memory burden without a meaningful drop in accuracy, especially as compared with traditional NLP techniques.

- The quality of LLMs typically outperform OpenCV + NER.

- You can choose to replace just part of the pipeline instead of using the LLM for everything (e.g. using text-only 3B or 1B models to replace the NER model while keeping OpenCV)

- The (LLM compute / quality) / watt is constantly decreasing. Meaning even if it’s too expensive today, the system you’ve spent time building, tuning and maintaining today is quickly becoming obsolete.

- Talking with new grads in NLP programs, all the focus is basically on LLMs.

- The capability + quality out of models / size of model keeps increasing. That means your existing RAM & performance budget keeps absorbing problems that seemed previously out of reach

Now of course traditional techniques are valuable because they can be an important tool in bringing down costs (fixed function accelerator vs general purpose compute), but it’s going to become more niche and specialized with most tasks transitioning to LLMs I think.

The “bitter lesson” paper is really relevant to these kinds of discussions.
> RSS is best when integrated with a stateful server-side reader.

Who said that? It's meaningful if you read the feed across multiple devices, but lots of people read RSS on their computer only.

And even so browsers could provide RSS status synchronization. In fact almost every browser is already syncing your browsing history, bookmarks and settings if you are signed in.

> Whatever comes with the browser will not be as good as an extension...

not true.

I don't know, but it seems quite likely, unfortunately. There were quite a few other cases when fake evidence was planted by police.

It's not the only problem with technology -- it's claimed that there has been over hundred cases of false DNA matches not caused by malice or processing errors.[0] In theory, DNA match must not be considered by courts as 100% accurate, but in fact it is.

On the other hand, there were cases when human rights advocates or journalists were claiming that innocent people were jailed but that turned out to be false, like people getting caught on camera doing the same kind of crime again after they served their sentence.

The article is not about alternatives to social media giants, but rather about a billionaire who wants to "rescue" TikTok.

> McCourt, who says that he has no interest in becoming TikTok’s C.E.O., is unique among the group of potential buyers. For starters, he has been steadfastly public, voicing his desire to purchase the app in print and televised interviews, including on “Fox & Friends,” reportedly Trump’s favorite show. He is also the only potential buyer so far promising to serve the public’s interest—to address not only geopolitical concerns about the app but also the deleterious effects it has been shown to have on young users.

It seems to be little more than a thinly veiled ad for billionaire Frank McCourt to push his bid to buy TikTok, which he promises will not just be another social media platform but so much better under his ownership, and fix all the problems. Surely wouldn't be used to push his and his friends' agenda. Not to mention that ByteDance seems to have repeatably said they don't want to sell, but everyone seems to have their price, maybe they just haven't got the right offer yet.
But how would they fare if AfD were to get elected ... that's the problem here, isn't it? Do you really want these musea to be subject to the whims of changing government officials, especially in Germany where sooner or later an extreme-right government will come to power, at least at a local level? Same is true for all of Europe, really.

A lot of musea covering the many atrocities in East Germany have already disappeared. And even in the Berlin wall museum the reminders that the last leftists to rule there shot (many) people for the crime of trying to leave socialist utopia. In most Universities the academic victims of Soviet rule aren't remembered anymore.

So this is not a theoretical concern.

And also Symantec, and now Entrust. All of these CAs have incredibly sloppy vetting procedures and/or control over their resellers. In many cases they didn't even check CAA records to see if they'd be authorized to issue new certs, even though it has been a requirement for years. They had one job, and failed abysmally at it, relying on their too big to fail status. You can feel the frustration of people like Adam Langley at Google over his inability to bring the banhammer to bear fast enough on those clowns.

Margins being slim doesn't mean much as long as insurance companies see continuing operations as profitable. I'd like to see this model stress tested until more insurance companies pull out. This would cause reductions in the housing market from the increased insurance prices and subsequent mortgage reduction, and would lead to more compartmentalized insurance prices and risk approximations between high and low-risk homes.

Either that or a barrage of government policies which will make things worse for everyone and continue the US economy's descent into the death spiral.
