> You're comparing oral discussion with written discussions.

No, I am comparing communication in general and it just so happens that in the past all communication was oral and now we all work from home and converse through large online platforms.

If, in the future, people move their communication to brain implants (help us God - any God), then brain implant telepathy would be the method of communication most in need of protection, to preserve or reclaim the important and centuries-old default of private, unmonitored communication.

New forms of communication do not change or diminish the legitimate and important need for private communication.
gpt-4o-mini and gemini flash are quite cheap, almost to the point that you can sustain them with ads.

There's a lot of optimizations you can do too. Many seem to forget about options like procedural generation or things like fuzzy logic which could cut down cost and yet be more deterministic.

AI is also one of the kinds of businesses that should be self sustainable without funding. If it's not good enough that people would pay right away, it's probably not going to work with a more complex business model.

I would argue VC funding is either mandatory or unlikely though. AI startups move incredibly fast and odds are you'd get killed by another one without funding. The big AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are perfectly capable of releasing high quality competitors, and the mid tier ones like Voiceflow and Langchain are also capable of moving quickly.
The numbers matter because they affect whether there actually is a better option.

What happens when Alice is with Bill, but Bill is also abusive to a lesser extent? And "don't have a browser" is not an option.
This is amazing. I started playing it with my morning coffee and somehow it became 1pm...

Despite what other people commented, I really liked not really knowing what happens with some (most?) of the updated and having to try them to understand what they do and how to combine them. The last part is especially true: it was just SO SATISFYING when I realized that a perk I hated became my favourite once I was able to pair it properly and catch waterfall of coins :)

One thing I still don't get at all are the white and red ball "paths" that briefly appear from time to time. I don't get what they represent nor how are they triggered, especially as it doesn't look like the ball will actually do that exact path after it hits the puck (if I don't move it). It's a little annoying for the red one, that resets your coin counter, because I can't understand if I can avoid it somehow or do I have to take it as a "random debuff".
Singapore charges three with fraud that media link to Nvidia chips
Edge has two features I actually like:

- integrated screen shot, which includes a “full webpage” option that handles scrolling for you

- Split View, which lets you open two webpages side by side within a single tab

I use both of these daily and get a decent productivity boost from them.
I remember Skype being a big malware vector, and did my best to avoid. I do think MSFT cleaned this up, but the brand was ruined for me.
Generating a strong field requires a lot of current. If you have any resistance at all, that's a lot of heat dissipation, which will require cooling.
Here's a link to the actual paper [1]. According to the paper, the magnetic part of the thruster consumes between 10 and 100 kW if it uses regular magnets, and only 0.2 kW with these superconducting magnets. Most spacecraft use solar panels, and they claim the largest satellites produce 30 kW of power. It follows that 10 kW is an unacceptable level of power consumption, while 0.2 kW is ok. They admit that nuclear powered spacecraft don't necessarily need this new technology, because 10 kW might be negligible for them.

Can you talk about 3dfx’s arrogance?
What basic functionality are they talking about? Do they list it anywhere? Or is "basic functionality" the new "security reasons" for justifying every stupid rule or policy.
Sure, I agree with Mozilla not being the greatest steward (as written minutes before the comment you responded to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43195286), I'd much more like Firefox split off from Firefox.

But regardless of our feelings for Mozilla being one way or another, listening to authors who clearly are over-emotional about subjects isn't a way to learn more.
We're not that far off from each other.

> Just have the checker check the templates that the baseline JIT is stitching together

Sure, from my second paragraph, the templates it's using could be opaque things it got from requesting the static compiler generate a template from a first class function ref (at compile time), in which case the verification has already been done.

Are we reading the same thing? They removed:

> We believe the internet is for people, not profit. Unlike other companies, we don’t sell access to your data.

and instead there's vague weaseling

> doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data“)

I'm not like most people, I am a bit stupid and have a very low threshold for what selling my data is.

> Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love.

You can either have 2.5% of users who know why they are using your browser and are willing to make a donation or you can have nothing while we use a fork with your telemetry ripped out.
> when I click a window, Mac OS brings to top all windows of the respective app

Do you mean Cmd + Tab? Because this doesn't happen for me at all. When I click on a window, just that window is focused, but if I Alt + Tab to an app all those windows come to the front, which I find annoying too.
Huh? Most call centers these days already use ivr systems and they absolutely are terrible experiences. I along with most people would happily speak with a LLM backed agent to resolve issues.

The CS is already a wreck and LLMs beat an ivr any day of the week and have the ability to offer real triaging ability.

The only people getting upset are the luddites like yourself.
I remember early on AI Dungeon tried to be uncapped. The cost of a few power users was being redistributed to other users and then they decided to ditch the unlimited use plan.
Yeah. I think this is probably insurmountably hard.

ApplePay is about as frictionless as digital payments can possibly be, and I still occasionally abandon a purchase because of some annoying authentication issue.
They could restrict the language to that specific legal situation, couldn't they?

Ultimately it’s because users consume shock content; if they didn’t it wouldn’t be surfaced and instead they would get whatever generates views be it cats or rainbows.
Did you miss the part where a multi-decade, A-list actor with millions of dollars who can call his own shots was the one saying that? It's not the work, it's the constant financial shenanigans and horse whipping from the executives.

I'd take earning a million dollars for 3 months of work and then taking the rest of the year off over what I have to put up with. Constant 24/7 unpaid support, having to work long hours because the company decided to do layoffs, having to work long hours because someone in sales promised the world for his commission that I don't see a dime of. Having to fix work of bad hires because said hire was related to the boss. Dealing with very strict government regulations that change every few years. Having to implement an absolutely horrible idea in a dead language because some boss had a bright idea. Dealing with hacker-kiddies constantly trying to compromise the system. Having to constantly learn the latest fad abstraction, on my own dime and time, that will only be relevant for a few years. Have to fix massive data issues because some executive decided to read the first chapter in a SQL book run a query in production? Having to deal with unrealistic deadlines and half ass specs. Having to deal with whatever scrum implementation some nitwit who took one online course came up with. Getting a couple weeks or three off every year, including sick days, and having to practically beg for it, and still getting calls anyway. Talk about being out of touch. What exactly do you think programmers do all day, write "Hello World," in every language ever invented?

Do you think Gene Hackman ever had to sit in a one-on-one meeting with is boss where the boss asked him to rank himself on various things, from 1-5? Getdafuqouttahere.
My father-in-law told me he watched that game live when he was a kid, and he just gasped when Fischer played Bxh2. (This is before engines or eval bars). Spassky did well to convert, but this is more about Fischer's mistake than Spassky.

This is the kind of blunder that you'd expect from a strong club player, not from Bobby Fischer. Although I understand that Fischer was brilliant but inconsistent, and to be fair, the last chess championship matches had a share of blunders.
We could make an open source database. Then very simple browser extension to place a very prominent warning on any GitHub repo page that happens to be suspected malware.

I guess the problem is that only helps those who already know they need to watch out for this sort of thing, not the users most likely to be pwned.
This is what happens when you hire leet code engineers and they become managers. Look at Google now. This isn't some magical outcome of big corps. A big corp is practically the people who work there.
I'd pay $50 yearly if they're willing to just work on the browser and remove their added value services and any telemetry.
Again - do not fixate on the ES thing as it was put forward only as an example. You're presenting a case when for the given scenario after analysis and weighting the alternatives this is the most optimal solution where I'm speaking about introducing unnecessary complexity just because the tech is cool and trendy.
Looking at the Linux version with their hard coded list of supported distros when trying to share your screen...

I'd say both.
Plain text is fine as a backing format...but not as an interface for something more complicated than text or lists.

Editing this on mobile sounds very annoying.
VASIMR is one of the few test articles with flight hours of this category (or maybe a sibling category), and when you factor into account the thruster and the power supply, its thrust to weight ratio for the VX-200 prototype was unworkably low. Not "too low for launch", I mean "too low for a steady burn of months to attain meaningful progress towards interplanetary or orbital objectives".

You have to simultaneously solve for power to weight ratio issues on solar panels, power supply, and the actual thruster. The best solutions right now for most purposes are relatively low Isp (low propellant efficiency) Hall thrusters.

In space, heat dissipation is remarkably harder than it is on Earth, so getting to, for example, 97% thermal efficiency rather than 94% would be a big deal in terms of the mass of the heat dissipation system, and I think this and reducing the mass of the actual electromagnet is the advance here, if there is any.
1. Is github the best place to report bugs / issues for Waterfox?

2. When (not in your lifetime obviously) Waterfox is broken, what canaries do you have deployed that we can archive now, like Mozilla's tell here?

3. What keeps waterfox afloat? Where/how do you accept funds?

4. How do I find a sync alternative or provide my own? Such that, I'm not reliant on Mozilla sync/backend?
... If none exists, how much would it cost for you to embed one? Would you accept a serious bounty for it assuming the focus is self hosted / no Waterfox backend services?
I think your "app runner environment" is just turning JS on. It's interesting to think about what if scripts weren't allowed to run by default, but that ship has well and truly sailed.

Who do you think would benefit from having two webs, and how?

Some sites have issues with Firefox, it is rare, but it happens. Some streaming services may not work at full resolution on Firefox because of DRM. You may also want sync with your Microsoft or Google account and not your Firefox account (if you even have one) for whatever reason.
That number can’t be true. His speciality is “legal ballot harvesting” so I suspect this story is parallel construction for where he really got 200,000 ballots.

I will try to include it in my custom OS from scratch. Should be simple, right?
Are you a troll? The question was about H1 quicker than H3, and the OP explains the difference by saying it was TCP quicker than UDP, which is not a reasonable explanation, so I asked for source.
But it was all about encryption (and only encryption) and how it was handled within the kernel, and I understood re-reading the first comment (before event sending mine).

Here "quicker" was about CPU load and well defined.

Please re-read too.
This reads like a semi-incoherent essay from someone who doesn't really understand what complexity is and has a chip on their shoulder about something completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
It is easily solvable. But it has to be implemented on the receiving side. Ask your university to put something in place!
> It's annoying how we hold some to a higher standard, but ignore others doing worse.

People use FF, _because_ they can hold it to a higher standard. That's the entire point.
That depends heavily on the law in question. Germany e.g. almost completely bans white hat activities because hacking is evil, and no amount of common sense has been able to get through lawmakers' thick skulls.
And nobody really moderates it... pretty sure meta is breaking some laws at least in some jurisdictions but this is nothing new

I have in recent year maybe seen a massive increase of various fake posts from unknown groups on facebook. Made up shorts, AI generated fake photos of various weird outrageous claims, which all upon some side check turned out fake but it was not obvious on first glance. I try to report them, mark them as not interesting etc. but they keep popping back without me ever being interested in them.

Meta is really shitting on its users and just milking current status, or doesn't care how content on their platforms degrade further, or even quietly allows it. I'd say its the second choice, and it is really by choice. Youtube has similar potential but somehow they manage to sanitize it all well, so clearly its possible.
Google Voice is weird. It seemed like they should've killed it, but they just added a few minor features this week.

I tip some projects that help me. It's been years since mozilla started to do evolve in ways that feel weird. I'd tip for a fork.

Question is: how many people would jump ship, and then how much money would that represent to pay devs.

You should use "Multi account containers" instead of profiles in firefox. It's like profiles in chrome/edge but it works by tab instead.
Seems to have trouble recognizing sarcasm:

"For example, there are now a bunch of vendors that sell 'respond to RFP' AI products... paying 30x for marginally better performance makes perfect sense." — hn_throwaway_99 (an uncommon opinion supporting possible niche high-cost uses).
I was using Arc as my main browser until they added the mandatory account requirement. It came around the same time they moved iCloud syncing to their own backend.

Now I just use Safari because all I do really is read stuff.
Good questions.

1) You can persist a graph to disk. By default, this uses protobuf (`save_to_file`), however we’re migrating to Parquet in next release for better performance because we noticed loading a 100m edge graph from scratch (CSV, Pandas, or raw Parquet) is actually faster (~1M rows/sec) than from persisted proto, which isn’t ideal. There’s also a private version that uses custom memory buffers for on-disk storage, handling updates and compaction automatically.

2) You can run a Raphtory instance either as a GraphQL server or an embedded library. For the server, multiple users can query the persisted graphs, which are stored in a simple folder structure with namespaces (for different graphs). For now, access control needs to be managed externally, however it's on our roadmap!
Most anti-adblock also fails on Brave. Those that don't can generally be sidestepped with literally two clicks to disable scripts. The remaining few require substantially more tweaking (generally disabling a specific script while allowing others to run) which is outside the domain of most people, but still viable.
Mozilla is going down the path of enshittification. I don't really care what the exact AUP, ToS and other legalese tomes boil down to, I should not need to agree to nothing but the license to use a piece of free software. If they only wanted this shit to apply to the online services, they should state it as such.

I am sad to state this, but this is likely the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I am convinced that there is a huge silent majority of users here that care about the erosion of privacy and data abuse because that's why we were using Firefox in the first place. If I don't have any assurance of my rights, privacy, anonymity and the general assurance of virtues that a capital F - Free Software- should exhibit. If I have to settle for a solution that doesn't respect my rights, I will use something more complete, well supported and user-friendly.
These have got to be AI generated. The ones that mention details from the post are borderline comical:

> Sounds like deleting a VM in Azure is as tedious as trying to manage resources in a complex role-playing game—one wrong step, and you’re stuck dealing with frustrating dependencies! If you’re tired of that kind of hassle, maybe it’s time to switch things up with Download SpinRP. Instead of deleting VMs in the right order, you can dive into an immersive world where strategy and excitement go hand in hand. Why deal with a “big fat pink error” when you could be making big moves in SpinRP instead?
So let's correct your statement then to >>most other major browser vendor

Trough of disillusionment.

A lot of folks here their stock portfolio propped up by AI companies but think they've been overhyped (even if only indirectly through a total stock index). Some were saying all along that this has been a bubble but have been shouted down by true believers hoping for the singularly to usher in techno-utopia.

These signs that perhaps it's been a bit overhyped are validation. The singularly worshipers are much less prominent and so the comments rising to the top are about negatives and not positives.

Ten years from now everyone will just take these tools for granted as much as we take search for granted now.
Considering the Trump profited from his own meme coin this just seems like more cronyism / self dealing and so forth …

Meme coins seem like the perfect bribery system.
I find it ironic that we developers prefer to use CLI because it's quick, efficient, stable, etc., but what we then deliver to people as web apps is quite the opposite experience.

Firefox forks:

I agree with OP, searching for files is awful. Many times it doesn't find a file I know it is inside a subdirectory of where I am right now.

Things got much better when I moved from Spotlight to Raycast.
The recommendation algorithm isn't necessarily identifying this as shock content or gore, all it's doing is identifying it as having the hallmarks of something that a certain circle of people engage with, followed by it deciding that everyone engages with it and it should be the default. It's possible that internally it's tagging it as gore, it's also possible that it's simply categorising it as "fast moving video with an abundance of red".
Sure. But nowhere does the article claim to be combining measurements, or doing tomography. He's making his inferences directly from the values of the individual measurements. Tomography is a mathematical way to combine measurements to get more information than by just looking at the individual results.
We'll agree to disagree. /s
Similar to hixie's https://docs.google.com/document/d/1peUSMsvFGvqD5yKh3GprskLC...
I am also sceptical.

It's conflating a format for recording calendars with a syntax the user needs to write.

That syntax looks quite brittle and not very intuitive. One day = one line would get unwieldy fast. It doesn't localise well and there's no obvious way to implement recurring events beyond daily actions. (From what I can see at least?)

You could build a client on top of that but then, you lose the benefit.

It's a neat idea and it's good to see someone share a simple concept that works for them. But I don't see it working for most people.
Why Librewolf and not Waterfox or any other open source fork?
