There is no might. The app stores need to remove the app on day one or face billions in fines per day.

TikTok decided for them it is best to shutdown the app and redirect users to a website informing them why it's shut down.

IMO this is the right move for TikTok as instead of slowly dying and people forgetting about it. By pulling the rug people will be calling congress and demanding their TikTok back. 7 million businesses rely on it and 130 million people use it. That is a lot of pissed constituents.
Yearning for the day when they post a snapshot which is actually optimised and we don't have to install 20 mods just to get adequate performance.

(Difficult to sell merch or lootboxes on that back of that which means it'll never happen...)
If I understand you correctly you want to filter a feed on specific criteria (e.g. topic). Even if the feed publishes a lot of other content, you want to know the ratio of bookmarked content based of the filtered feed, ignoring the other content.

It's a great point, and helps me extend the feature and make Lighthouse better. So, thank you!

Lighthouse actually has that data. It supports rules, and tracks if a rule made an action (e.g. archive an article).
So basically the ratio could ignore all articles that were automatically archived by rules.

I need to think more about how the UX of it should be, but it's a good next step for the feature.
As someone that lived there, and still returns regularly, it is kind of funny to have more fluency in three of those languages, kind of superficially understand the fourth, while many Swiss nationals have to switch to a non official language to understand among themselves when coming from different language regions.

Italian cantons usually focus on German and English, German rather learn English or Italian, French put up with English, and most stop learning the other official languages after the school year where they are compulsory.

Naturally a bit of stereotype, and each as a different experience.
Nice list. I tried at some point to analyze html using a tree-sitter grammar and generate a list of articles, index them, and be on alert every so often for new entries.

RSS feed could be generated automatically with some AI code generator (or tree-sitter query generator), and just parsing the elements of the page.

Eventually i failed, but also i didn't try hard enough.

I made $400 making tiktoks as a hobby. I would say its much easier to earn money on tiktok, but harder to earn huge sums. A lot of people are currently making ends meet with what they get from Tiktok.
> "Suppose you have one platform that censors criticism of the current US administration and another platform that censors videos of Tienanmen. This is better than only having one of those things, because you can then get the first one from the second one and vice versa."

The problem with this analysis is that American internet users don't just have one government controlled website to get their news from. Instead, they can access a wide range of national and international media that is quite diverse. It's not clear how adding the CCP propaganda manipulations to that would be especially useful.
Freshrss is a great choice I think.

I use the freshrss web interface on my phone, that works quite well I feel. The app might not be necessary.

BTW, Freshrss also has a function to fetch the full article content directly. I think it's not especially clever, just uses a selector, but worked well for me for the one or two feeds where I enabled it.
Kinda wild that the Egyptian gov just put out a made up cause with zero evidence instead of saying cause unknown currently
Another one: you sold an online business and forgot about it until the moment the buyer contacts you asking for a meeting exactly when you decide whether you want to go to the bomb shelter or risk staying in the appartment building so conveniently located next to a damb that protects Kyiv from flooding.

You decide that staying on the 9th floor on the path of cruise missiles to the damb is too risky, pick your good old Toughbook that has enough juice to last until dawn, and go downstairs, asking the buyer over phone to reset the root password and send it over whatsapp.

Once installed in the shelter, you quickly realize the disk is full, clean the logs and give furter instructions to the buyer to pass on to his IT.
So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not a diver or free-diver. I've done a lot of diving and a little bit of free-diving.

I would never, not a million years, try and free-dive out of a boat, especially a large and unfamiliar boat that had sunk. It's almost certain death to try and do so.

1) No Breath: First of all, the average person can roughly hold their breath a minute or lets be generous and say one and a half minutes. Well, that's in perfect comfortable conditions in a nice warm, safe, room. Now you're in cold water, you're in shock because your boat sank, and you're in the dark, you're likely highly anxious or panicking, you can now hold your breath 30-45 seconds if doing no work at all. If you're actively swimming for your life you probably last for 20-30 seconds IF THAT.

2) Getting Lost: Dive boats can be quite large, full of random objects, and if you've been diving on a boat for a few days only, there is little chance you are going to be able to navigate through the boat in the dark in good conditions, now imagine the boat is filled with water, completely dark and upside down. You are panicked and disoriented, if you somehow manage to find an exit it's almost entirely down to dumb luck.

3) Depth (and potential DCS). You have no idea what depth the boat has sunk to. So let's say it's at 50m, it takes a long time to surface from 50m and if it's already taken you 1 minute to get out of the boat, you're fucked again. Not to mention any DCS you may suffer if you've been breathing compressed air down at 50m for very long!

Maybe there are some combination of factors which would make this a good idea, like, very small boat with very obvious exits, warm water in the tropics, shallow water and its daytime so there is light to see by, and you're also a champion free-diver and regularly do 7-9 minute breath holds. Sure in these cases you might just swim out.

But if you're a normal person trying to swim out of a boat in the dark, upside-down, in unknown depths, cold water, random detritus floating everywhere, just stay put!
English is quite common to speak among Swiss from different cantons, since they usually stop caring about the other official languages after the compulsory school classes.

I find kind of ironic that I have better fluency between the official languages than many of my Swiss friends and work colleagues.
Yeah, roughly since 1996.
Runway – World of Frames
A couple of inches? Realistically, cameras. Lots of cameras and some OpenCV to do the distance calculations.

Bluetooth triangulation is very hard (don't ask me how I know) and won't get you that kind of resolution. Apple's AirTags won't either. Dots painted on the floor at regular 1 yard or 10 foot intervals, in view of the cameras so that calculations can be inferred? Now we're getting somewhere.

The good news is security cameras have existed for a long time, and you can almost certainly find someone to bulk purchase from on the cheap.

If you insist upon using a wearable you may be able to get a light source on everyone you can calibrate towards. I'm not sure whether that's very helpful in practice.
They did assist. They saved many lives, but waited until it was safe for them! It is not their job to increase number of victims!
Even without a container it's pretty easy to run PHP with a HTTP server like Caddy, there's no need for any extra configuration aside from passing the required directives in the server config for your setup. You can find many examples in the docs.
I think "anywhere" here has to mean "any random device you come across", not merely "any strange location", as the premise is being able to log in with just a password rather than a key... I often use my phone to do tasks, but I do it with an ssh key on my phone.
There are of course professional and competent people in Egypt, and I've worked with many. However, there is very stiff competition in the tourism sector, education in workers is low, regulations that exist are mostly only used to elicit bribes by officials, so all corners that can be cut, are.
TT-RSS, I do not like it much, but it's the more apt ready-made to quickly skim many posts from many feeds...
By that logic, the claim that the land is exclusively(!) Jewish because this used to be the territory of the Jewish state ~2000 years ago works even less though.
There has been a significant longer amount of time between ancient civilizations and Shakespeare compared to today and l the first people who are recording audio content periodically and distributing it via RSS.
Just fyi the entire browsing and checkout process of Amazon.com works fine without JavaScript, discovering that radicalized me against so called web apps. it just takes actually reading the html spec and maintaining state in the querystring or via session cookie. Latency can be lower than the monstrosities people build with react in the right circumstances.
rachelbythebay has a service and a series of blog posts about the technical side of this, starting at https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/05/27/feed/

TL;DR: readers should not poll more often than once and hour, use ETag and If-Modified-Since to determine whether to download the full feed again.

Which items you have seen previously is something the feed reader keeps track of.
"We have evidence but it's secret". Hey, we've seen this one before, it's a classic!

At this point, the credibility of the trust-me-bro evidence can fall anywhere on the scale between "Iraqi WMDs" to "Imminent invasion of Ukraine", and there is just no way to know.
So... a win-win? RSS also avoids all the problems associated with spam.

Okay. But is it evil?
As someone who works with SREs every day, this breaks my heart.

1 - Don't be on-call while going to ski

2 - fail2ban and other automated systems can do this for you

3 - Passwords suck and are typically not regularly rotated unless you're using some centralized IdP

If you're in this situation you have already failed. If you use password auth use 2FA as well, and then I don't cry, it's just toil though.
If you think some curious spare-time white-hat hackers are the main cause of most security problems, you grossly underestimate the size and skillset of the black-hat hacking industry, and the unlimited profit-potential available in that field...

This is notable as Game Tests are now available in the game.
The Egyptian dive guides are often pretty good freedivers, especially when they started out as boat boys, they often freedive every day to fasten ropes to the reef.

Still, deciding that the guide should not try does not even make sense if there was only a 5% chance he'd make it, from the two tourists point of view.

The whole web is evil then. Hacker news has JavaScript for simple upvote buttons, is it also evil?

This does sound like some faint semblance of official support for java modders?

Rednote's algorithm is significantly better than reels
To be fair, if my search engine is anything to go on, about 0.5-1% of the requests I get are from human sources. The rest are from bots, and not like people who haven't found I have an API, but bots that are attempting to poison Google or Bing's query suggestions (even though I'm not backed by either). From what I've heard from other people running search engines, it looks the same everywhere.

I don't know what Google's ratio of human to botspam is, but given how much of a payday it would be if anyone were to succeed, I can imagine they're serving their fair number of automated requests.

Requiring a headless browser to automate the traffic makes the abuse significantly more expensive.
Training an AGI/ASI does not requires the biggest datacenters/massive GPUs, nor it takes years already. Early algorithmic advances and narrow AGI AIs have radically shortened the requirements in hardware and time of training.

You can only expect more algorithmic advances from now on.

The attempt of regulation falls within the limits of the (publicly available) SOTA AI technology from maybe a month ago, so it has been surpased by the reality of no one capable of being in control of the brain functions outside the selected countries for free interoperation of AI tech.

Those brains outside the wire were six months ago already creating the algorithmic breakthroughs we are currently witnessing, of course there's not only one (there are most certainly many improvements currently being pipelined for future models a few months from now), and they are actually fully independant of regulations from any country, you can expect just in this year, lots of radical breakthroughs, and given the new regulations, more players just further advancing the algorithmic side of the technology.

The regulation could have been effective only in an scenario where US and selected countries would control the fully indispensable hardware required to train and run advanced AI, which is not anymore indispensable.

The most radical forecastings clock the future (months, not years), training and deploying of frontier AIs (AGI/ASI level), at maybe weeks to few months of training using sintetic generated data (from opensource models already available), simply relying on standard datacenter level CPUs (not GPUs) for the backbone of the training infrastructure, and a light, precise use of limited GPUs (two, three years old datacenter GPU hardware), and distributing the training across several massive datacenters, if you care at all about speed (having the most advanced AI the faster you can). But anyway, the jumping forward framework could be just doing incremental advances, and letting the advanced AIs to just improve the algorithmic side of the technology development, so to just further making even more efficient the available hardware, one cycle of improvement at a time.

It's not a game over with hardware, US and allies could try to use to jump faster to more sophisticated AI, but the game cannot be controlled just by limiting the hardware, nor the difussion of advanced models.

- If provided a little widget to open the feed in your feed reader (in practice it substituted the feed url into a URL template with popular readers by default and the option to add your own). This basically made it a one-click subscribe option.

"It's hard" isn't a sufficient reason. Supply chain and infrastructure that makes safe food widely available is hard. We do it anyway because it's the right thing to do.
It's a well intentioned bolt on for adding reactivity without reloading the page, but it's been hijacked by the ad industrial complex to keep tabs on your behavior for people who do not have your best interests in mind. that usage of it, I would say, qualifies for a weak definition of evil.
It always amazes me that this is possible (to some extend anyway, I mean, the base layer is binary so obviously simpler higher-end CPU instructions are possible!)

Is there any potential performance win in this? What I mean is; since this general direction could, in principle if not in practise, enable the targeting of say, the 5-10 most efficient CPU instructions rather than attempting to use the whole surface area... would this potentially be a win?
My phones have had JavaScript off by default for years. I'm amazed by how many sites work fine and are pleasurable to use.
It's annoying to have to take the time to train my recommender on a different platform. I'm sure I could get YouTube Shorts to eventually give me an equivalently pleasant experience, it's just a pain.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised that if Google requires some Proof-of-work done on browser's host's CPU/GPU to validate search results and make it infeasible for bots therefore.

Whether it's evil or not is a difficult question. I'd say it's at least as bad as satan, considering we can actually confirm its existence. But that it arose naturally from this grotesque universe means it is a valid part of things. Maybe it is we who are evil and it that punishes us.
Speaking of Oslo and bicycles, I just want to add an amazing statistic that surfaced a couple of years ago here on Hacker News:

Oslo has a zero pedestrian and bicycle mortality rate!

https://thecityfix.com/blog/how-oslo-achieved-zero-pedestria...

> In 2015, the political climate and public will in the City of Oslo changed the tone on accepting continued surface transportation fatalities. The mayor, city council and transport division staff all supported a shift in roadway decision-making from car-centric to people-centric. [...]

Neighboring capitals with similar progressive bicycle cultures (Denmark, Sweden) have somewhat low but non-zero mortality rate as Oslo had 6 years ago. So the policies definitely make a change, but it's the consequence of a culture. You won't see American politicians suggesting a ban on cars in big cities.
500 MW GE turbines claim 64% efficiency, and one can use the wasted heat for district heating. If we have to burn something then using these turbines seems to be the best option, running 2-3 electric cars for the emissions of one. And probably 3000 e-bikes. Shouldn't you compete in this range of efficiency?

Been writing about this a ton as well -- these drugs are quite possibly the closest things to actual wonder drugs I've ever seen.

Perhaps true. But if you are warning against the dangers of so-called "AI" - "hallucinate" is also suggestive of "dangerous", "insane", and some other strong negatives.
I recently discovered how great the ChatGPT web search feature is. Returns live (!) results from the web and usually finds things that Google doesn't - mostly niche searches in natural language that G simply doesn't get.

Of course, it uses JavaScript, which doesn't help with the problem discussed here.

But I do think that Google is internally seeing a huge drop in usage which is why they're currently running for the money. We're going to see this all across their products soon enough (I'm thinking Gmail).
now that i think about it you could do it quite nicely with svg's and foreignObject
