It's always on The Pirate Bay. That's the streaming service everything is on.

The best advertisement for these companies would probably be running a public Polymarket account so everyone else can quickly check how accurate they are.

I wouldn't classify getting random malware as "nothing happening".

A monitor cannot install software on your computer by the way. It's Windows installing this software automatically (for some reason), so the blame should be on Microsoft.

Autorun of malware when you plugged in a USB drive was also a Windows issue, I'd classify this as the same security problem.

The same server that's responsible for sanitizing garbage JS out of user content is also responsible for sending the Content-Security headers. Why would you trust it with one, but not the other? If it's buggy garbage it will also send the wrong headers.

All the codecrafters content is available on Github too, for free.

You can't just say perchance.

It looks very natural, cheaper is better after all. Performance axis going up, and cheapness axis going up match each other.

If your ISP cares, you need a better ISP.

There's no need to package it because ClickHouse is just a single binary.

There is nothing wrong with it, and RSA is still commonly used. In fact, RSA is better against quantum computers compared to ECC.

It's still a VSCode fork. Even Cursor's own About window tells you it's VSCode.

  Cursor
  Version: 3.4.20
  VSCode Version: 1.105.1

the point is to save people / well-being, not reduce it

Oh, you haven't met _that_ part of the climate people. A surprising number of them do want to reduce the number of people and they see "degrowth" as the solution.

I've seen https://kyc.rip but haven't tried it so far.

I tried this with Opus 4.7. Doesn't do anything, it can continue the conversation and even repeat it back to me.

Depends how much total RAM your application needs and how much money RAM access tail latency costs your business.

When you use a FOSS product more, the person that wrote the code doesn't end up spending more money. When you use a free service more, someone is paying for that usage and resources.

My Hacker News items table in ClickHouse has 47,428,860 items, and it's 5.82 GB compressed and 18.18 GB uncompressed. What makes Parquet compression worse here, when both formats are columnar?

Browser killing the tab way before it happens

A microphone + ADC is hearing though, that's the whole reason we even produce microphones. So that our electronics can hear sound.

Firefox has YouTube integration of course.

Here's a Firefox file [1] specifically for integrating YouTube videos into their picture-in-picture system. Your random video website won't get this treatment of course, need to be a popular one.

Here's a piece of C++ code [2] in the Firefox engine that specifically rewrites old YouTube embeds from their old HTML embed snippet to the new one. Again, your own video website will never be so deeply integrated into Firefox because it's not a top 10 website.

Firefox Readability mode makes pages more readable by removing useless stuff like videos. Unless it's a YouTube [3] or other top-N popular video website of course. YouTube videos are given special treatment because it's popular and having small integrations like this make the user experience better.

considering popular opinion there is absolutely no reason to enable it by default

You need to update your priors. The popular opinion is there is a reason to enable it by default. ChatGPT is the #5 most popular website in the world, more popular than Wikipedia, Reddit or Twitter. The vast majority of users want to use AI.

The way users use Facebook and LLMs are so massively different, it almost seems like a bad faith argument to equate them.

Facebook is mostly scrolling the timeline and passive consumption. It doesn't benefit from being on the side because the content you interact with on Facebook is completely separate from the content on your other tabs.

In contrast, LLMs have ongoing conversations that the user can come back to, and each conversation might relate to multiple tabs that the user is working on. On top of that, it's a very common occurrence that the user has questions about, or a task to be done using the content of the current page. This makes LLM and chatbot integration much more useful than a Facebook integration.

Also if you have the Facebook Messenger installed, Firefox already gives you an integration to share things with your Facebook contacts.

Because people like chat bot sidebars.

My code editor has a built-in chat bot sidebar that I use every day. It's not a huge stretch that people who use chatbot sidebars in other applications would also want one in their browser.

ChatGPT is the #6 most popular website in the world, why wouldn't a browser want tighter integration with such a popular kind of service?

Somehow people manage to run it without this magical release

They don't pick the keywords uniformly randomly from a list of all keywords though. They think they randomly picked something that popped up in their mind, but those keywords are either

- stuff they saw online recently — ads or otherwise, which put the keywords in their mind

- or stuff they were already interested in recently

Not hard to imagine targeting algorithms picking up on either of these

That's not because 4o is good at things, that's because it's pretty much the most sycophantic model and people easily fall for a model incorrectly agreeing with them then a model correctly calling them out.

Not just companies, people too. It will have trouble getting into Linux distro repos. And a lot of devs/users avoid non-open-source projects especially if they went looking for solutions on Github.

Theranos didn't get out-competed by the fat cat. They defrauded their investors, got caught, the founder went to jail and the company died.

we know how those go

They get forked and stay open source? At least this is what happens to all the popular ones. You can't really un-open-source a project if users want to keep it open-source.
