I'm sorry but this is near unusable since the death of XUL and introduction of WebExtensions. I was a truly avid user of VimFX which did the same thing. Vimium these days does not work when a page hasn't finished loading and it doesn't work on blank pages (about:blank) or any other "system page" (like the preferences or addons). The "o" key can no longer highlight the address bar but brings up a non-native address bar that does not find my bookmarks as it should.

Imagine you couldn't click on another tab with your mouse pointer while the current active one is loading. Yes, it's as terribly frustrating as it sounds.

In the XUL days I could even use vim shortcuts to access every button in the Firefox UI!

Luckily there is a solution for now. VimFx[1] is still being updated and works with the LegacyFox shim!
Russia seems to own the far right mindspace to a large degree, and I’m sure they’ve spent a large amount of resources for many years shaping those perspectives and narratives to suit themselves.

I also suspect that Russia has been causing the very problems that the far right reacts against, most notably immigration. Remember wirecard? Germany’s fintech darling, which was run by Jan Marsalek, who turned out to be a Russian spy? What was one of the things they were doing? Funding people smuggling into Europe. To strengthen the right that Russia owns.

https://www.rferl.org/amp/russia-wirecard-marsalek-spy/32844...

They’ve been directly disrupting the west while controlling those who offer the “solution”.
Russia is basically calling the West's bluff that they won't use nukes to enforce their ideology and Russia won. Everyone wants to talk big until it comes time to actually enforce words.
There's probably also a case where Putin needs to be in a position to save face in order not to be overthrown - which could be even more dangerous.

On the other hand this might all just be trying to pretend there's a coherent strategy when its all just actually chaos.
> war effort

"War effort" implies military aid, in which case the US has supplied nearly double all other countries combined.
It is not a lot, but I reckon once Russia has got through Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland, Czechia, Germany, and France they would be pretty softened up.
>It takes a little more comprehension skills to understand words. I understand if you didn't get that comprehensive education.

I vehemently disagree with rayiner, often, but you personally attacking them only serves to weaken your position.
I find it hard to believe that the NSA/CIA don't have the capability to uncover, insert own players and stop this.
We are not generally mouse geneticists, though. We are assumably a proxy for the general public.

> It is not quite right to say: “a gene is … a heritable trait.”

This is a reality of communication you need to deal with: that's absolutely how people will interpret the term "gene".

> Yes that is how Mendel thought about his results since he could only see and quantify traits. But there are still a depressingly large number of protein-coding genes without linkage to traits.

From my perspective, from my exceedingly humble opinion, "heritable trait linked by reproduction and not culture" is absolutely how the public at large understands the term "gene". The fact that scientists cannot successfully link protein-coding to linguistically-bound traits is an issue that scientists will have to work around when communicating about the specifics of heritability, genetic determinism, and discretization of individuals. "Gene" is simply not a term you can reliably link to DNA in the popular consciousness and is likely not worth the effort or money to redefine.
You had it easy. The internet was not able to handle video when we were doing this and audio streaming sites didn’t exist. You had Napster/Limewire, sketchy websites, and power users were still on usenet. The Scene was pretty popular and if you knew where to look you could find whatever.

Ripping from YouTube sounds awesome compared to people sharing their whole hard drive over Napster/Limewire/Kazam. There were military documents for c130, F22, you name it, there where whole businesses around finding military docs on file sharing programs and getting money by reporting them.
> What are you going to do about it? Are you going to kick Tim Cook's ass?

No, just wait for the EU to force Apple to do something since the US is too busy failing at more basic things.

This is also a really weird response. I was just pointing out your previous reply was a red herring, not any kind of actual argument.

> That was probably somebody else, I didn't say that.

Nah, it was you, right here[1] where you said "A big part of the reason I use Apple products is that they protect not only me, but my family who don't know what the implications of sideloading are."

> The proof is in the pudding: Every other platform is destroyed

Far from it. What a ridiculous claim.

> You can put whatever OS or apps on any device from Apple, if you have the skills.

No, because Apple makes it too hard. There has to be a specific kind of vulnerability and there isn't always.

> Or try to kick Tim Cook in the ass.

Or root for the EU. And honestly users like you are more of a problem than Cook will ever be.

>Zelensky implied Russia would invade the U.S. Do you think that’s likely?

He did not. What he did say is, that should Russia start to expand the war to other countries (as is very likely if Ukraine falls), these effects will be felt by the people in the US.

That statement is obviously true. The effects of the Ukraine war could also be felt, as it affected the economy across the globe.
On the bright side, the more clearly Trump displays his gross incompetence, the more quickly he will be deposed.
This is probably an empty gesture, since NSA and “sigint work” is excluded from this order.

That said, if it’s followed up with similar orders to NSA and “sigint work”, then I will humbly suggest that our executive branch has been fully compromised, most likely by Russia.
it sounds like you're preferring status quo. I'm saying that status quo has failed.
It’s worth watching the full clip to appreciate how this starts with Zelensky undermining the peace process by blaming Russia right after Trump just answered by saying blame isn’t productive and Zelensky did it by directly challenging JD Vance's statement previous to the clip. [1] I would suggest changing the link in the article to the full length video clip because I couldn’t fault someone for assuming that with the current state of US Europe relations that the BBC is biased towards selective editing.

Obviously Trump & JD did not handle that well and embarrassed anyone that believes in the value of international diplomacy.

For some more backstory on Zelensky's disposition you can listen to Lex Friedman's take. He went to Ukraine to interview him with the only goal of making peace more likely and couldn't get Zelensky to move an inch in that direction during their discussion. He believes that Zelensky is an amazing leader in many respects, but poorly equipped (mentally) to make peace. [2]

The Twitter responses to Leon’s post are shocking. I wonder if it’s mostly “folks left on Twitter” or “algorithm changes”
> It no longer represents American interests, but Russian interests

Disagree. Trump is in this for himself. If he appears to represent Russian interests that's likely because he has made some kind of deal with Putin that benefits him personally. It has been reported that he has been talking to Putin before he was elected for the second term [1].

Brave is still the best browser on the market. Trying creative things for monetization (and failing loudly) is a million times better than anything else that any other browser is doing -- including Firefox.

If you don't want the Web3 crap you can turn it off -- as I have done for years now. But someone please help me understand how a browser that takes in half a billion dollars from Google annually to function as controlled opposition in case of an antitrust case is somehow OK to recommend, but a browser that is independent is somehow bad because of bad business decisions made years ago.
The EU has a substantially larger population than the USA, and for now at least, is adamantly opposed to the outcome you describe.

That might be what Trump and Putin want, but they are not the only interested parties here, and Trump is certainly succeeding at waking whatever beast-like qualities the EU/NATO may have left somewhat hidden in the recent past.
Regime change in Russia.

Putin is the one who started it, and he can stop it any time.

Anyone else can only get the peace of surrendering to a violent dictator willing to conquor.

Thanks for posting an archive link. My site has survived previous HN traffic spikes on Fly.io's free tier, but 256mb of RAM wasn't quite adequate this time :)
The hacker ethos is as strong, or stronger, than ever. It just has little to do with anything silicon valley is up to.
So when your country will be attacked you will give up your lands and your freedoms just for sake of "less people dying"?
Imho still better than relying on a bully.
The only people being jailed in the UK are violent criminals who use racism as a pretext for violence, and peaceful protestors who threaten the profits of fossil fuel companies.
This is a long spiel to justify refusing trying to communicate in an effective manner. I understand the concept of professionals recognizing the quality standards others put forward, but at some point you've got to care if you even come of as sensical to non-professionals if you want to communicate to them. This necessarily implies a reaction to something not being "but they misused the word gene!!!".
When the “negotiated peace” is “Russia gets everything they want, you give us every dime and your treasury, and we don’t promise to actually help you when Russia attacks again after we let them re-arm for as long as they like”…. That isn’t a peace deal, it’s virtually unconditional surrender.
I can't reproduce this behavior so maybe it's changed in recent versions.
Since there are already Kings of both Canada and Denmark, if Trump wants to be a King too, let them settle it the old way.
Ask yourself how many people will die as a result of this show of incompetence.

If you're interested in how a democracy should handle itself in such a situation, take a look at Justin Trudeau's recent speech pledging support for Ukraine.

Try posting your plans to assassinate the orange idiot on facebook and see what happens
It's what America wanted. I've decided to stop caring. It's all a joke now. We'll try again in 44 months.
If I remember correctly, there were two different formats: A normal kid's TV series which featured Bernd and his friends and had regular episodes; and the "night loop" which was more surreal/"edgy", featured Bernd alone and had no real plot, only a sequence of random events that eventually looped. (And I think the latter was what made it go viral at some point)

I can fully imagine that the actual target audience for the loop were stoners...
HN didn't fall victim to the reality tv star's antics. The audience he's trying to impress has fallen victim to the believe that the antics of a reality tv star make for a good president.
I think many understand what is happening, but what can Americans do about it? Posting online and attended protests are not going to move the needle much. What I fear most is that violence might be the only solution, but I would love nothing more than to be wrong.

Ronald Reagan was obviously a RINO. /s

But in all seriousness, my bewilderment isn't so much that Reagan's stance against Russia was discarded (parties change over time, as well as the relationship between nations), but that it happened with zero pushback and zero discourse. The party leader said, with no explanation, "Our #1 enemy is now our ally" and the party simply said "But of course, no one should doubt this!"
So what is your actual preference? That Russia simply be allowed to invade and take over Ukraine "because Ukraine was pretty damn corrupt anyway" ? What does that accomplish?
Exactly, Trump should have given him more $100 billion.
Greenland is absolutely worthy in terms of being an easy target to set forth the precedent of US annexing other countries just like Crimea did for Putin before the full-on invasion
you are replying to a comment that says "he miscalculated an equal position further down the line" and your point of objection is that he miscalculated an equal position further down the line?

still your move
> We cannot continue spending trillions of dollars and risking American lives based on weasel words like “interests” and “allies.” Say what you really mean.

What he means is whatever Russia is interested in doing, Trump is motivated to agree to given his open, well-documented idolization of Putin and other dictators, making us effective allies. Your attempts to devalue OP's argument like pretending he is being too vague are quite trasparent and do not hold up to scrutiny. Instead, you need to prove why Trump's recent behavior and remarks toward Putin don't establish us as allies with shared interests.
I love it how the American DOGE seems to spawn many DOGE movements in other countries too. People are finding and uncovering similarly ineffective spending in a lot of places.
Thanks for the answer, this makes a lot of sense. I'm approaching AI from the "deeper" dev perspective and it doesn't shine as much there. I spend basically the same amount of time, but get more annoyed. Although for getting into the unknown it's the best (mostly because search sucks like hell, but still).

That said, in my experience the layer of people like you (iiuc) who can code but aren't fulltime repeatable-tasks developers is pretty thin. Maybe AI can add more people to it? One of my professional goals always was including more humans into the basic ad-hoc programming, but the "industry" was running away like hell from that. You are a perfect model of my idea, glad you finally found the way. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42810175
The 8000 series are iGPUs, part of the AMD Strix Halo APUs (e.g. AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395). [1]

I do agreed it's confusing though, when they were already using a three digit naming convention for iGPUs (like the Radeon 880M - the M made it clear it was a mobile chip).

I think it's the characterization that Ukraine started the war that makes people feel a sentiment that is aligned with Russia.
Good lord, what an embarrassment. Our president is a foolish and incompetent clown.

Obviously those idiots in the White House are provoking this juvenile confrontation as part of a move toward withdrawing US support from Ukraine.

But why? It's beyond clear that a resurgent Russia is against our interests, but here we have the President debasing himself and his country to suck up with Putin as if Putin was the leader of a superpower.

So it must be a pretty bad reason. I guess we'll eventually find out why, but it may not matter at that point.

How stupid and idiotic.
On the other hand, EU is a very recent experiment, given the length of European history.

In that sense, European countries were never as close as they are right now. I expect it to strengthen as time passes, especially now that the US should be seen as an hostile foreign nation to every European country.

Not to mention that after the shitshow that Brexit proved to be, even right-wing parties in Europe sort of abandoned their "leave EU" rhetoric.

Well, here come the downvotes, but for anybody who thinks that it is completely believable that Trump is a Russian stooge or is “on Russias side” let me offer this up:

- We want peace. Full stop. No more dead men, women, and children. THAT IS THE GOAL.

CONTEXT:

- Trump armed Ukraine to the teeth in first term, providing lethal aid which previous presidents did not do. He wanted to deter Putin while not also escalating.

- Adding Ukraine to NATO is a line in the sand for Putin. How would we feel the US feel if China and Mexico entered a defense agreement and placed Chinese missiles on the US border? Adding Ukraine to Nato is an ESCALATION.

- Biden admin sent Kamala over to Europe in '21 saying it was time to add Ukraine to NATO. Good job guys.

- Biden then said his response to a potential Putin invasion would "depend on whether it was a major or minor invasion" (I'm generalizing).

- Biden then flopped Afghanistan. US weak.

- There were rumblings of a peace deal in early 2022, but Boris Johnson and European delegation shot it down.

Europe and Ukraine are relying on the US to bankroll/supply a war with one of the world's greatest nuclear threat. THIS ISN'T A FUCKING VIDEO GAME. The lines have been more or less drawn. If we continue this war, we either:

(a) at a minimum, drive Russia into closer alliance with China while killing many more Russians and Ukrainians

(b) provoke a hot war amongst many nations, leading to the death of millions

OR

We get a peace deal done with the general boundaries that have been consistent for nearly two years: Russia provinces going to Russia, a DMZ established, and Ukraine sadly smaller.

This isn't simply "we must support the Good Guys and defeat the Bad Guys". Right now Trump wants PEACE and feels as if Zelensky demands to call the shots. He can't call the shots. He is not the US.

Addendum:

Re mineral rights and the accusation "Trump just wants the $$$", you do realize that placing a large US business interest in Ukraine (as opposed to backdoor dealings) is actually a way of strengthening the US's commitment and investment in Ukraine, right?
> There's a difference between "siding with Russia" and siding with negotiated peace.

There is absolutely no difference, when the US is negotiating that peace only with Russia, without Ukraine in the room.

With Trump administration officials not able to name a single compromise they’ve asked from Russia.

If the “negotiated peace” is “I asked the country that invaded you what they want, and you must do everything they asked for”, that’s not negotiation.

I will never understand how people can be so quick to abandon independence nations, and are so willing to bow to dictators. You would cheer Chamberlain submitting to Hitler as he launches an invasion as a momentous day for peace. You would be wrong then, and you are wrong now.
That's an interesting take on a recent history that I did not live through.
> I vehemently disagree with rayiner, often, but you personally attacking them only serves to weaken your position.

Glad you see the reality. I don't care about my position but only the reality.
Yes. Is your country's culture and economy 100% shielded from what happens in the US?
I have to pay for these regardless with my taxes. Except with privitization I have a choice.
Dear Americans, please do something. Protest, write letters to congressmen etc. We Germans went through all of this 90 years ago..
“It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”
-- Henry Kissinger

It's too simplistic (and IMHO not accurate) to say the American government has been commpromised by Russia. Go back a few years and you'll see American politicians from all parties saying how great it was that they've crippled the Russian military without a single American soldier being deployed and killed.

It's more accurate to say that foreign policy, which is bipartisan, is to loot the world. Domestic poicy is to divide up the spoils.

The US never took a moral stand for Ukraine. It was always through the lens of American imperial interests. This is no different.
Correct. My understanding is that there's no individual lobby group in America with more influence on foreign policy than AIPAC.

The book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy is a great read which fairly and methodically outlines how this influence works and what effects it's had on American policy, spanning decades.
It's equally frustrating to me that some people don't seem to realize that you can opt-out (once, at initial setup) and have a completely ad-free experience.
Isn’t Vance sponsored by Thiel and therefore here to stay?
Yeah, at the end of the day its hard to agree with the language and demeanor of the administration, but I struggle to disagree with the outcome. What are Zelensky's aims? To secure additional funding for their war machine? If so: I don't see how that benefits anyone; certainly not the Ukrainian people. If the goal is to secure more favorable peace terms, which I do believe is a laudable goal, then I fail to understand why he approached this conversation the way he did. Insinuating that the Trump administration had aligned with Russia, regardless of its validity, is not the way to accomplish this.
Loans which have no security guarantees and will almost certainly be written off, unless you can make Russia pay for them - i.e. they will never be paid back by the Ukraine. It's the standard money giving structure in the EU. Make a loan, write it off later without repayment.
