Moving some employees from government (which has some economic value and some non-economic value) to the much higher economic productivity private sector will be brilliant for the economy long term.

But that doesn't mean the most chaotic approach is the best one. Bill Clinton shrunk the federal workforce by 400k without crashing the economy.

I'm a huge free market fan but I note that there's a lot of nice things that come from government jobs, for example clean and safe streets, or well-planned highways, and many others.

This is a tangent, but perhaps relevant:

I think sending your LLM all relevant data structures (structs, enums, function signatures etc) is mandatory for any code-related queries. It will avoid problems like this; it seems required in many cases to get integratable results.

You don't need uBlock installed on Brave. Brave basically is uBlock (if uBlock where a browser).
Out of interest do you recommend any good places to host a machine in the US? A major part of why I like cloud is because it really simplifies the hardware maintenance.
A major correction also isn't that surprising. I started planning for it six months ago. The current market behavior is what I'd call "in model". It can always get much worse but this isn't that.
The present value of future cashflows is vague at best. The market was overpriced and is correcting now. Look at the Shiller PE.
Who Owns Your Data?
Who Really Owns Your Data

Cloud computing is a fundamental part of modern business, but data ownership remains an overlooked issue. While cloud providers promise security and reliability, many retain control over infrastructure, encryption, and compliance, raising concerns about who actually owns the data stored on their platforms.

Major Cloud Providers and Data Control

Most major providers operate in shared data centers, leasing space from third-party colocation facilities. This means customers rely on infrastructure that is not fully controlled by the provider itself, introducing potential risks regarding security, access, and compliance.

Software control is another issue. Some cloud providers integrate third-party services, embed AI and machine learning tools, or depend on vendor-driven integrations. These external dependencies reduce user control and create potential security gaps.

The Encryption Dilemma

Encryption is a critical factor in data privacy, but many cloud providers manage encryption keys by default. Some retain metadata access, while others can decrypt user data for compliance purposes. This raises concerns about whether stored data is truly private or if the provider ultimately holds control over it.

Government Compliance and Data Requests

Government compliance requirements further complicate data ownership. Major providers must comply with global data requests under regulations such as the US CLOUD Act. This means authorities can potentially access stored data without direct consent from the user.

Data Integrity and Modification Risks

Data integrity is another issue to consider. Some providers allow admin-level modifications to logs, while AI-based optimizations may alter stored data over time. Compliance tools in certain platforms can enforce silent changes to records, raising concerns about whether data remains truly immutable.

The Need for True Data Ownership

A provider that fully owns its infrastructure, controls its software, enforces zero-knowledge encryption, and guarantees immutable records is necessary for complete data sovereignty. As cloud adoption continues to grow, choosing a provider that prioritizes user control over compliance-driven changes will determine the future of secure and private cloud computing.

Expedia doesn't render properly in Firefox - some of the sections are missing, but it's not immediately obvious what is missing. It took me a while to figure out why my wife kept having problems with that site, and I had to move her to Chrome to allow her to use it.

I continue to use Firefox because I know when to suspect a website problem might be the browser, but she doesn't have the ability to analyze a situation like this. I have this conundrum with other family members that I support. I want them to use Firefox, but I hate to have them run into an issue because of the browser I recommended.
Seems like jasper didn't contribute much
i never downvote on this site. And i apologize if this feels like i singled you out specifically; this is just something i've been noticing a lot of on HN the past few weeks, especially as it pertains to the advanced data protection apple stuff in UK, the firefox EULA change (or whatever it was) that had everyone saying it doesn't work with their banking sites, etc.

it's all so reminiscent of "you must use IE6 to access this site"
That performance regression only hit code that was using a very large number of paths with the same table of computed gotos at the end. That's likely to only be relatively complex interpreters that were affected. So it's not a broad performance improvement. But it is nice to have an example of the compiler's new heuristic failing to prove evidence it needs to be tunable.
Another one falling for a modern Pascal's wager and making poor decisions or simply posting something that sounds cool to cover a big L.
this seems realistic with consideration of a lot of previous tech advancements. We focus on the disruption, but meanwhile the efficiency improvements follow closely (and often more easily) on the coat-tails. We should definitely be looking for more efficient production of what's already been proven, vs. the next big step happening immediately.
I just checked Ecosia, seems to be less censored at a very quick glance, at least in comparison to DDG and Google.
You can, but ultimately Brave is downstream of Chrome and their stated intention of supporting Manifest V2 "for as long as [they're] able" doesn't inspire as much confidence.

Firefox is also the only open alternative to Chromium at the moment, so I prefer to endorse it instead.
I've noticed that the bigger a company gets, the shittier they get. I don't think the answer to the threats posed by countries like Russia and China lies in consolidating our markets under an oligarchy of bloated mega-corps.

Smaller companies are faster, more agile, and hungry for success. This breeds market competition, spurring innovation and rendering better products for the consumer. The Amazons and Googles and Microsofts of the world have largely outlived their purpose and only exist to hoover up money in their cornered markets rather than innovate.
> Though they varied in length and severity, the market always recovered and went on to new highs.

Not in Japan it didn't. If you bought a Nikkei 225 index in December 1989, your returns are negative to this day (apart from a very brief breakeven in 2024): that's 35 years and counting of the market not recovering and going on to new highs. And Japan's experience is probably going to become the norm rather than the exception, now that everwhere else is catching up to it demographically.

"The market always goes up in the long run" was an adage for a world of steady population and productivity growth, which is not the world we have now.

It really isn't. They can spend some of their billions of revenue to review changes when popular extensions are updated, just like Mozilla does. Every uBO update is vetted by Mozilla and is only then pushed out to users. But doing this is not in Google's interest at all.

Interesting that Tesla surpassed Toyota in net income in 2023 already: 15B vs 14B.

How does Chrome make income? Isn't it basically developed at a loss, but it makes money for Google's other business units?
I had this problem in Chrome. I turned off JavaScript and the page worked nicely. (Props for that!) I'm assuming my adblocker or auto-accept-cookies plugin did something weird.
Hm, interesting article but I wish they had included global data as well. For example, stock market crashes in Japan and other countries. As I understand it, Japan still hasn't quite recovered from its crash more than 30 years ago.
Since we are all doing it: I'd rather they support nuclear energy.
A level playing field is good. The playing field includes other countries.
Interestingly enough, these days it's often an advantage to have high ping, because modern games make client-side hit detection authorative. With Apex Legends, Respawn uses the argument that playing against laggers but with client-side hit detection makes the bullshit that happens "symmetrical" and they want to keep the game accessible for people with poor connections, but anyone that plays against laggers knows that is absolutely not the case.

I wish modern games would just include a Ping Lock toggle in the matchmaking. "Do not match me with anyone with poor connection quality" (>100 ping, >1% packet loss). With a big fat pop-up warning that it'll increase matchmaking times.

Rocket Companies is owned by billionaire Dan Gilbert who owns a huge part of downtown Detroit. It's a big story in Michigan and people are wondering why a mortgage lender would want to own Redfin.

The fact that Redfin CEO, Glen Kelman, has agreed to stay on is a big plus to me. I always thought he was the founder but he is not. Rocket gains another top executive.
It's really easy to forget how complex SDR is, and how much expertise it really requires to fully understand if you need to write receivers/processors/filters yourself. There's a TON of great stuff out there for hobbyists that just want to get some cool stuff working though. I tried my hand decoding a soil temp/humidity sensor broadcast and was quickly reminded how complicated it can be for an initiate.

I know almost nothing about actual SDR, but I've got a cheap SDR receiver/antenna inside a glass basement door that receives temp/humidity data from ~10 433Mhz transmitters in various rooms in my house + outbuildings, and a weather station that reports temp/humidity/lignthing strikes/rain amount/wind speed+direction, and lux. All that goes to an influx DB instance, and has a set of graphana dashboards built on top of it. Took me a couple evenings to get set up, and now I've got real time + historical environment data about everything I care about at my house; including high humidity alerts in rooms with dehumidifiers, freeze warnings for a crawl space, and a bunch of other stuff. It has been wildly reliable.

Okay, I'll retract my remarks when the new formation of the FTC actually goes after a tech giant. And frankly, I have doubt any DOJ filings of this type won't get repealed by force from above in short order. This is a case that was mostly handled by the prior DOJ, which is gone now, replaced by new management.
Someone had to be fired to convince investors they are really replacing developers with "AI".
This is my observation as well. Recent market gains doesn't reflect how inflation eroded most people purchasing power.

People today are worse off than before Covid even though the market is much higher.

Debt fueled growth (through quantitative easing and deficit spending) is not healthy and always has a bad ending.

Real economic growth is what was seen between 1950 and 1970 where purchasing power increased and most of the gains went to the middle class.
Probabilistic Robotics book by Thrun and co. offers a great overview of most of these concepts.
I agree with you, it's an absurd suggestion offered with zero reasoning.
> What people in this thread are saying is that they won't regret nor remember it, and whatever comfort you're taking from thinking "in the end, after everything is ruined, they'll realize I was right" is cheap and lazy.

There are multiple users in this thread stating that the label is a corporate entity designed to maximize profit and that it thus cannot "feel" anything. This was obviously not what was being stated.

As to those claiming that these individuals won't regret what they have done: That may be true. But why does it happen with developers? Because it happens a lot.

Neither I nor Seubert made this claim out of some pseudo-religious self-reassurance that "One day, they'll all get theirs!" but as a simple observation that these actions are ill-advised. I don't know how you could read it any other way without being intentionally obtuse.

> Nobody needs anybody to point out that the loss of music is bad.

What you're essentially saying here is: "Your observation was so obvious to me that it shouldn't have even been written down, because everyone already knew it." This is obnoxious and not in the spirit of the forum.
I wrote: "This person is pregnant. From this fact alone we can infer the presence of a female reproductive system."

You replied with: "No, no you can't."

From this, it is reasonable to assume that you either you don't understand that pregnancy requires a female reproductive system, or that you don't understand what the female reproductive system is.

You wrote: "You understand she is a woman because of the societal context of her clothes, her face, her hair, her makeup, and 1001 other tiny little things."

From that, it is reasonable to assume that you have a view of women based on sexist stereotyping around clothes, hair and makeup.

If you don't like the ideas that your words convey, that's on you for writing them.
I'm not going to waste my time explaining to you what a metaphor is, but I will say this Firefox was the dominant player in the 00's 2010's when they did this, not the 2% market share it is now.

The manifest situation simply doesn't apply to Brave in relation to adblockers specifically. That is, Brave will function like uBlock without having to install uBlock as an extension - that's kinda the whole point of Brave (blocking ads / making them opt in only). That said, it is true extensions one may use that are affected by the manifest version change may be affected in Brave.
Lite version works for me the same as the original. Blocks majority of ads.
In summary, YouTube is A/B testing a change where specific clients receive only DRM-locked video streams. This is notable because yt-dlp impersonates those clients during normal operation. Since yt-dlp won't support decrypting DRM-locked videos, this change breaks yt-dlp's ability to download any videos.

To respond to your specific questions:

- innertube is the name for private YouTube APIs. (Here's a library that talks to innertube https://github.com/tombulled/innertube/, although yt-dlp has its own separate client code.) These APIs are intended for consumption by the various types of YouTube client software.

- The "tv" client is one of the types of client (see other examples here: https://github.com/tombulled/innertube/blob/main/innertube/c...)

- TVHTML5 is the specific client (as opposed to e.g. TVLITE or TVANDROID)... presumably different TVs run different specific TV clients, with consumption of different specific TV APIs.

- When yt-dlp downloads a video, it roughly performs this sequence of steps: pretend to be one of the types of clients supported by innertube; download the top-level video object; parse out the list of possible formats. These formats are like "MP4, 1080p, with AAC audio" or "Ogg, audio only". (The original issue report shows a better example in the verbose output dump.) By default, yt-dlp just grabs the best quality audio and best quality video stream, downloads them, and muxes them together into a single file, but you can configure this behavior. DRM formats are formats that are protected by (presumably) Widevine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widevine, the decryption of which yt-dlp has stated will not be supported.

- Available means they're an option for our yt-dlp client to download. Videos don't necessarily have all formats for all clients; for instance, a video might not have a 4K option, because it was never uploaded in 4K. Or it might have a 4K upload, but YouTube won't show 4K options to a client that doesn't support 4K decoding.

- In this case, it means this specific internal client type can't download the video, because when yt-dlp reaches out, it gets ONLY formats that are DRM-locked. This is of note, I think, because the TV client is a way to get high-quality video from the YouTube API without having to pass it a valid YouTube login token (further down the issue, the reporter says providing a token allows the "web" innertube client to work).

Nobody is going to buy it given the perverse incentives set in the last two decades. However, Chrome does have value to SaaS providers making use of browsers as frontends, and it should be possible to setup a foundation for Chrome maintenance. Funding could also come from the "ad industry" or what's left of it. If however it turns out Google plus very few other actors (Fb) will totally dominate this consortium once again, then obviously there must be additional measures, such as selling YT and/or DoubleClick.
You can also disable ublock on specific 'trusted' domains.
Where did "transgenic" come from?
On the contrary, it will be an incentive to stop.
Man, I hope they break out Google Business apps.

The artificial price point for GMail, GDocs, GMeet has killed so much competition.

Try pricing something against this insane dumping price Google sets - there is no TAM, the M does not payback enough to justify the effort.

The cross-financing with Ads would finally stop and fair pricing would come.
Not sure why this is being downvoted, it is pretty spot-on.
I recall the legendary Celeron being the 300A. It was 300MHz, but was easily overclocked to 450MHz. There were higher clocked versions, but regardless of which CPU you got, they ultimately were only able to overclock to about the same frequencies.

Also, the celerons of that generation did not have unlocked multipliers. The only way to overclock them was to overclock the front side bus, which also controlled memory bandwidth. The "standard" FSB speed was 66MHz. By overclocking a 300MHz CPU to 450MHz, you got a 100MHz memory speed. By overclocking a 366MHz CPU to 466MHz, you "only" got 78MHz of memory bandwidth.

My friend in college had one. Windows 98 didn't support SMP, so he had to run Windows 2000, which was based on Windows NT, and would be the basis for XP. Compatibility with games was sometimes...interesting. Windows ME came out about that time, but was absolute garbage. All of us either stuck with 98SE or experimented with 2k. None of us actually bought it of course...

Fun times.
I've been trying uBO Lite myself for a few months, and anyone who uses YouTube will absolutely notice that it's worse at blocking. Lite tends to delay playback at the start of a video for as long as the blocked ads would've been, making the site feel slower, and once in a while an ad will slip past the blocker anyway.
Idk I used Claude Code recently and revised all my estimates. Even if the models stop getting better today I think every product has years of runway before they incorporate these things effectively.
In William Gibson's latest novel, "Agency", there is an underlying theme of the newly emergent AI being able to evade the eavesdropping of the corporation that spawned her. Later, she cooks up an unbreakable secure comms tech for the human beings in her network.

As well, in the part of the novel that takes place in the future, evading SIGINT plays a significant part of the story, as well.

Note: "The Peripheral" is the novel that precedes "Agency", so it would be best to read it first, to better grok the world WG builds. I highly recommend all his books.
The reason you'd have a benchmark is that you want to be able to check in on your model programmatically. DNA wetwork is slow and expensive. While you're absolutely right that benchmarks aren't the best thing ever and that they are used for marketing and sales purposes, they also do seem to generally create capacity momentum in the market. For instance, nobody running local LLMs right now would prefer a 12 month-old model to one of the top models today at the same size - they are significantly more capable, and many researchers believe that training on new and harder benchmarks has been a way to increase that capacity.

That’s sort of the point, right? The monopoly laws are designed to go after companies that are using their monopoly position in one market to subsidize other product lines to keep out competition.
