Maybe you don't remember that only 2 years earlier the US CIA "mistakenly" bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing three Chinese government workers and nearly sparking war, with Bill Clinton personally calling to apologize.

I saw this post on the first page a few minutes ago (published 5 hours ago), but it quickly dropped to the 5th page. Given its comments and points, that seems odd. I had to search to find it again. Any idea why?
I’m using a blockchain because it’s currently the most practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) network available for timestamping the Initialization Vector and final hash. If you prefer a web-of-trust or another cryptographic framework, feel free to use that instead.

By projecting across the entire scene, we significantly increase the complexity of any real-time forgery attempt. A single display that barely interacts with the surroundings is comparatively easy to spoof and not particularly convenient to deploy. Of course, if you think that simpler setup is worth exploring, go ahead and experiment!

Keep in mind, this method differs from merely signing an image. It creates an optical puzzle that reality solves faster than a simulation can. The physical interaction with the environment adds complexity that’s difficult to replicate artificially. I tried placing a display in front of the camera about a decade ago, but found that approach too “analytically solvable,” so it lost its appeal for robust authentication.
Yes. If you believe in the open source concept, the current situation calls for nothing less.

Let's be real, Mozilla leadership is not going to slaughter their cash cow. They have no incentive to place anything above the needs of Google.

It's already proven --- the user base and market share have been effectively abandoned for lack of impact to the bottom line. Plaintive demands from users now carry no real weight and will most likely be met with marketing doublespeak/lip service while business as usual continues.

Sorry but it's too late now. Any debate over the direction of Mozilla is a done deal settled a decade ago.
Correct. Both the US and Canada also did similar investigations and came to similar conclusions.
Like the myth Inuit have 100 words for snow, how many words do astronomers have for big?
What definition of treaty are you using that the USMCA is not a treaty?

The difference is negligible in international use, but in the US it means “agreement that was ratified by the Senate”.

Are you claiming the USMCA was not, in fact, ratified by the Senate?

Disputing under the terms of a treaty is quite different than unilaterally breaking a treaty.
it does seem safer see

I used to think background noise was my enemy.. until a week in a stifling motel with a clunky window unit proved me wrong. It started with me having tantrums that i'd never sleep and ended with me having some of the best sleep ever. I've slept with a noise machine ever since
You're missing the step where I have to articulate (and type) the prompt in natural language well enough for the tool to understand and execute. Then if I fail, I have to write more natural language.

You said just the same in another of your posts:

> if you can begin to describe the function well

So I have to learn how to describe code rather than just writing it as I've done for years?

Like I said, it's good for the small stuff, but bad for the big stuff, for now at least.
Why zig and not Rust? Just to throw the question out there :-)
Here the camera manufacture is asserting under oath that they (not their competitors) are secure. Just because IoT is almost always insecure doesn't mean it 100% is, being the exception can allow you to charge a premium price at times - but you better really be the exception.

Opposing lawyers have an incentive to help the judge. Of course the lawyers will lie, but they still will point out important details for the judge to look at.
Adding `foo = "*"` to Cargo.toml is as easy as adding `-l foo` to Makefile.
It dissolves in water quickly. Then big algae bloom, lots of dead fish. Mammals handle it OK.

Ammonia can directly act as a nitrogen fertilizer, and plants love that. Mammals quickly convert it in their livers, but aquatic animals can't handle having it in their bloodstream and die quickly from it.

High concentrations can overwhelm the liver, and then its toxic even for humans. Pure, ammonia vapor is incredibly toxic and even tiny concentrations are bad for the mucosa.
I don't understand - were these models post-trained to play factorio? A) If so, how is that possible given that e.g. Claude doesn't have public weights? B) If not, how would the agent know what the API does? Even if it's "guessing" from the English meaning of the API commands (e.g. place_entity_next_to places entity next to something), how would it know what the recipes are? If it's trying and learning we go back to A).

Having read the pdf I don't think these models were post-trained, so how do we explain the questions in B)?

And if indeed there's no post-training and authors expected exploration of recipes to come from the context window.... I think that's way too short for RL-style improvement.

In short, I don't understand how they could've tested those models with post training, and without post training they all did unbelievably well.

If the authors read this: can you give us an idea how many API query and API pairs fit within the context window, on average? Follow up, do you get better results if you abbreviate the API call names, so that more response pairs fit within one context window?
This is supposed to exemplify my point: the attitudes of Mr. Zawinski may be questionable; however his contribution and his output are not questioned by anybody. We would all be worse off without these contributions.
Of course it was an intelligence front.

Not that it means we were running spook ops or assassination squads with the personnel, just that it has boots on the ground to observe things.

The best feature of C is the inconvenience of managing dependencies. This encourages a healthy mistrust of third-party code. Rust is unfortunately bundled with an excellent package manager, so it's already well on its way to NPM-style dependency hell.
maybe to make it more concise binary you can do something like nostdinc nostdlib or freestanding and add own linker file to be more explicit about how binary is build and what to /discard/. also max page size and other linker flags can impact. its sometimes a bit trial and error to get it to spit out a small binary with only the code u really wrote.

own linker file and manual linking step imo is key. (i use gcc/ld).
if u let gcc spit linker file for modern platform, u can see its full of clutter... most of it unneeded.
u can also strip that one down, but i am sure u know what elf sections to put and omit, and you found all the bsd specific ones.

in the linker step u can also add symbols / calculate offsets.

in gcc u can also in the c code use attribute section('bla'). not sure if its handy in this case but maybe it'll ease somewhat these things or bring it back more into C :).

cool example :) remebering struggle tirleesly tryin to find out how to run a raw syscall on openbsd. a lot of man pages, readelfs and headaches i was so happy to get my exit code hahah
Tariffs are bad for anyone who needs to import, which is why the US stock market doesn't like the US having tariffs; the EU doesn't want to raise them either because EU doesn't want to damage the parts of its own economy dependent on imports, it's only raising them at all because it wants to put political pressure on the US to prevent damage to those parts of its economy dependent on exports.

By focussing tariffs on only the places that politically support Trump, they get the political impact with the smallest currently-possible negative side-effects.
At the end of the day, that is the purpose of states controlling their own voting. It is why the electoral college exists, not for the people’s votes to determine the president, but for the State’s representatives to determine the president. This is the downside of that design.
This was my thought too. Seems far easier to figure out a way to be okay with the noise than to go to great lengths to block it out
I suppose there's more, ethanol and methanol, synthetic natural gas.

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of that blog post. That said, their approach sounds kind of disheartening. I love being able to use extensions within my PWAs (primarily uBlock Origin, obviously), and some Android Chrome forks (Kiwi/Mises) let me do this, while still letting me feel like I'm in a dedicated app (i.e. no browser chrome at all). The firefox team really seem to stress here that they want to keep the chrome around the app (albeit different), which really feels like it goes against the grain of what I expect a PWA to be in the first place (a chromeless website).
I put in the effort for every English accent I've encountered - French, Turkish, Greek, Scottish, Australian, Indian Canadian.

You put in the effort for white people's accents.

But sure, I'm the racist.

Typical isn't it? Indian person complains about racism and you immediately decide that complaining is racist. Says everything I need to know about you.
Yeah, our provincial Premier talks a tough-game, but he is always quick to walk things back. Now he gets to travel to DC and "negotiate", with one of Trump's underlings - the Premier does not have the legal mandate to negotiate a federal agreement (USMCA) - however, a federal minister is also attending - but until our new Prime Minister fully takes on the role and our parliament comes back in session, doubtful they will do anything. We will see what happens Thursday or Friday - other schools of thought may indicate the Doug (Ontario Premier) and federal leadership had a talk to not provoke the bear any further - as these "51st state" comment and directions from Trump are escalating.
This is sorely needed and best path forward out of the OS-specific walled gardens and rent seeking of Big Tech. If building interactive applications wasn't so difficult I think we'd see a big revival of the open web.

We basically have teams independently re-creating the entire MacOS UI component suite in the browser out of various duct-taped libraries every time somebody wants to build an application. And don't even get me started on Rich text editing.

Arguing against this is like arguing against supporting images on the web in the early 90s.
I went Sony after trying both them and the Bose. The ANC was about the same (this is maybe 5 years ago) but the sound quality on the Sonys was head and shoulders better than the Bose. They're incredible on a flight.

I was confused by this too, but now I think they’re just suggesting to prepend the system prompt to the first user prompt.

I think the ggufs took the chat template defined in tokenizer_config.json , which basically does that.
Best solution for sleep I think is a combination of earplugs and Shokz openrun bone conduction headphones. Bone conduction headphones work better when you have earplugs in than they do without them so it works amazing.

My favorite earplugs are Loop Quiet because foam earplugs make my ears sweaty and itchy. If foam earplugs work for you they can’t be beaten as far as noise reduction.

I sleep on my side so I wear the headphones backwards and position the bottom one so it’s not between my head and pillow.

I turn on the iOS background sounds dark noise and put on an audiobook to distract from my mind not turning off. Add in an eye mask and I sleep quite well.
The Mozilla article posted above doesn't advocate violence against any group (unlike Christians, Conservatives, anti-vaxers and Trump voters, who often do.) It's brief so I will post the four points that it does advocate for here, verbatim, since this is Hacker News and I assume no one will bother, otherwise:

- Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.

- Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.

- Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

- Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

Implying that Mozilla are seeking the extermination of undesirables like modern day Nazis is, at best, an uncharitable reading. Also note that all of these points except the third (amplifying factual voices over disinformation) are advocated by conservatives as well, and only because there is political capital in denying the existence of "misinformation" altogether on the part of a party that employs it so often and so effectively (as pointed out by the article.) No, the other side is not exactly the same, nor doing exactly the same thing.

If I missed the part where Mozilla wanted to put anyone into mass graves, please point it out to me.

As a father of two daughters, I'm convinced the writers of Bluey have cameras in my house /s. There are so many times we have had a similar experience to one of the episodes. As my kids are now older than Bluey and Bingo, they still get excited when a new episode is released. We love Bluey in our house.
$100 dollars per year. The better question is what should that money be spent on. This being HN, I assume they would mostly just want engineers which I partially agree. I feel though Mozilla needs some funding to maintain and extend the docs they have as well as some money to lobby for a less chrome-dominant internet.

At the end of the day, it's pointless to have a beautifully engineered browser if 50-60% of the websites don't work because they were designed for chrome. That's the future of the web unless someone stands up to them.

Unlike IE, a well engineered browser won't cut it anymore. I only see two paths going forward from here:

future 1. google goes full baddie and severely nerfs ad blockers to the point where over 50% of the time you get ads. This is a problem with technical solution thus easy win for firefox

future 2. google nerfs ad blockers but not hard enough to sway browser usage towards firefox. Bad scenario, Google remains dominant and free to nerf the competition by making chrome specific apis or other shenanigans that they know most websites will adopt
You are blinded by the press, seeing the big valuations and the boardrooms in bed with government and think it's all like that.

In reality startups and VCs are just fancy words for small businesses and banking.

The vast majority of man hours spent in the category of VCs and startups are just that: mundane small business and banking.
Seems sensible — This kind of extension erodes trust in the Chrome browser, but more likely, hurts Google's relationship with partners in their ad network.
> [3] Which has issues with rot

Much less of an issue than with download links for purely digital distribution.

In both cases you should make your own backups.

> inferior encodes compared to some streaming services (particularly where content is available in 4K HDR streaming, but only gets a poorly tonemapped SDR Blu-Ray release)

This is a much bigger problem with earlier shows that have only gotten DVD releases but have non-interlaced masters or professionally de-interlaced streams available for streaming.
Commodore probably got more pleasant after Jack Tramiel left to go run Atari. Unfortunately it got left in the hands of Irving Gould, who treated the company as his personal piggy bank and looted it til there was nothing left.
I'm sorry for your loss. Ammonia is the the thing that our body happily spends its precious water in more-than-enough amounts just to make sure it's gotten rid of. The only mammal that optimized that process is camels if I'm not misremembering. I also found it a bit crazy to fill a ship with it.
... and considering we have one Province that is a very distinct culture (Quebec), plus a very large indigenous territory (Nunavut) - I think that things would fracture immediately...
You should learn more about FPGA's!
2026 is still a very ambitious startup date for this. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has only just approved interim guidelines for the addition of ammonia to the IGF Code (use of gaseous fuels). There's a lot to it, but this is a good high level overview: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/imo-interim-guidelines-safety...

A lot of commentators believe that since ammonia is less inherently safe it will inevitably be less safe in practice. I am not convinced by that argument, and in general if there's a strong enough business driver then anything can be made safe. But what really swung me against the idea of ammonia as a shipping fuel is that the expected cost is barely any better than methanol (which is much more inherently safe) and is more expensive than biodiesel.

The shipping companies have a real conundrum on their hands - do they go ammonia, methanol, stick with diesel, or try to get near-shore and inland shipping onto electric? Ammonia-fuelled ships have to be THOROUGHLY designed from the ground up specifically for ammonia use; you have to be 100% committed to go down that path. Whereas biodiesel can simply be dropped in (you can of course choose to fill up with a biodiesel blend today, but nobody does because you can put emissions into the atmosphere for free).

Unlike solar cells or battery cells, I don't really see much chance for 'learning rates' and technology improvement to drastically drive down the cost of green ammonia. Falling electrolyser costs are nice, but they're only a portion of the process plant CAPEX, and the cost of the green electricity dominates the economics over the process plant CAPEX anyway. You could get electrolysers for free and still be unable to make cheap green ammonia. So for green ammonia to get adopted, a strong 'carbon price' needs to be in place, and I think that same strong carbon price would make biodiesel competitive.

So no crash logs or similar issues? Logging is seen as a subset of telemetry

I agree with most of your points but you missed out an important one: active lobbying to counteract or reduce google's dominance on the web. As long as Chrome reigns supreme, Firefox will always be playing catch up as Google can break the web for non chrome devices by regularly adding apis that are only in chrome and forcing devs to use them
Nothing like the belief that you would be pardoned to make you feel comfortable breaking the law for your favorite convict. I’m sure he will encourage this view with his speech, blah blah “J6 patriots” and what not, without explicitly saying he will pardon anyone.
Quieter, but still really loud.

And blowers remain hard to beat in clearing leaves. Not just from grass, but also drive ways and sidewalks.
Noise pollution (or sound pollution) is a modern day era problem, and if I dare say disease. It’s getting more and more difficult to isolate ourselves, especially in urban environments.

This feels true to me, but I suspect it’s not. Victorian industry was _loud_, and cars now are quieter than ever.
Exactly my point, you don't ask the LLM to give you the whole function. That would be too much English work, because that means you need to write down the contract of the function in concrete and/or list(list of lists).

You ask it to give you one block at a time.

iterate over the above list and remove all strings matching 'apple'

open file and write the above list
etc etc kind of stuff.

Notice how the English here can be interpreted only way, but the LLM is now a good intelligent coding assistant.

>>I think in code, I'd rather just write in code.

Continue to think, just make the LLM type out the outcome of your ideas.
You wouldn't use full fledged R1 for coding. There are distilled models using R1 for coding that get you most of the way there. R1 also doesn't take 1TB of RAM, go use read Unsloth's writeup on how to reduce model size without reducing quality (they got it to fit into 131GB): https://unsloth.ai/blog/deepseekr1-dynamic tl;dr parameter count is where the statistical model lives or dies, not weight precision; you can't blindly shrink every weight, and tooling is learning how to not butcher models.

Also, performance between cloud-ran models and models I've ran locally with llama.cpp seem to be actually pretty similar. Are you sure your model didn't fit into your VRAM, or something else may have been misconfigured? Not fitting into VRAM slows everything to a halt. All the coder models that are worth looking at fit into 24GB cards in their full sized variants with the right quantization.
There are only around 30 people on such a ship - we can put that many through extensive training to make sure they don't make mistakes.

However no ship fueled without such trained crew should get anywhere near one that is. Only special shipyards should allow such a ship to dock - even the route from the open ocean needs to be controlled - no beaches "near" those ships. I'm not sure what a right margin of safety is, but don't allow such ship into your national waters without first knowing that.
Most business just adopt something existing, we saw this with Bootstrap, then with Material UI. Now things are a bit more diverse but still.

I feel like the pressure to differentiate is coming from internal design departments rather than business itself in 90% of cases. It's just people generating extra work for other people.
