Thank you kindly, this is such a good list i want to see if i can add it to our projects README.

Haha I guess i was too dumb to see that! ;p :)

Two main reasons:

While it may not be as technically elegant as using lisp, it greatly increases the count of folks who can contribute and simplifies the code with a single language for both front and back.

Secondly, while, in general terms, JavaScript is not as performant as Java or C++, for asynchronous real time operations, such as mostly used by this application, the event loop in node, a layer over io_uring, is a highly highly efficient method to perform these.

In other words, we get to trade simplicity for raw performance to ease maintainability, and less complex code means less security risk and bugs. In fact, the bottleneck in this application for performance is not JavaScript but network link latency, and the browser and the hardware that runs on.

Ha ha ha! You're too funny, man.

You know you're like a person shutting their eyes and demanding the world show itself to them. At some point you need to grow up and take responsibility: it's not our fault, if you can't see, if you're the one closing your eyes. Ha ha ha ha!

BTW separate topic - you really think religion and faith is unnatural and fringe? You realize that puts you in the global minority, right? Sort of proving my point! Ha ha ha ha! Have a good one, man! Bye! :) ;p xx ;p

If you want a remote browser capable of running on a server (with the client, browser UI in a regular web page) check out BrowserBox: https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBoxPro

Dude! I can't parse your email but like definitely reach out to me: cris@dosyago.com :D ;p

I'm building something similar: WebDriver protocol not WebView tag, more extensible, written in JavaScript, web tech. Get in touch (cris@dosyago.com) if you want to contribute! or check out the project: https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBoxPro / https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBOx

Ok

What were those reasons?

Yeah: For the majority of the pandemic only 4% of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive patients were shown to be infectious. (During the Omicron wave, the percentage peaked at about 25%.)

Also, this:

“The probability of a kid in class who is not sick actually being infectious is very low,” Dr Ralph Tayyar said. Think about it this way: even if every single student in a school without symptoms was infected, 96 percent of them still weren’t capable of transmitting to others. Yet, of course, most people without symptoms are not infected. Moreover, just because 4 percent were technically capable of infecting others does not mean that in actuality they had sufficient amount of replicating virus to do so. We are talking about a subgroup of a subgroup of a subgroup.

This is an interview between Billy Carson and Steven Greer. Some of the stuff is pretty far out (including that the Naval Surface Warfare Center White Oak had a "chronovisor" that could see what happened at any point in space, at any time in the past, in the 1970s), but this guy ran the 2001 National Press Club "Disclosure Project"^0 that had lots of military and government whistleblowers testifying in front of the press about a UFO coverup (a multi-decade unacknowledged multi-special-access-project coverup of events and secret research about UFO (UAP), advanced technology and non-humans (ETs etc)). He definitely has credibility but a lot of what he says is hard to assess. Interesting tho.

Thanks for that analysis. So...really? The prince work was editorial art commission and the purpose of that is to sell magazines? Is that idea?

I think that sounds a little weird. Walk into the downtown corporate building of big firms in any city in the world, and I think you often see large scale art in the high ceilinged foyer: these pieces are often specially commissioned by the building owners or firm. Would the purpose of those, by that judgement, be to "sell the firm" (or equivalently raise its profile to by a chain of events, eventually increase revenue?).

To me that just sounds weird, because often they are great art in themselves, and indeed many go on to be sold to other collections, or loaned to museums, and throughout their life they are rotated through the firms buildings or collections--just like regular art.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding your meaning or the connection here.

Sounds like your parents Had good ideas about how to make the most of the opportunity they acquired by coming to America. As it happens, my grandfather said something very similar to me and repeated it to me throughout his life.

I started building this in late 2018 as a way to deliver web scraping script builder application on any device with a single codebase without any download, i.e., "clientless"-- so there's no need to build a mobile app, and electron app, that uses WebView, with two separate codebases (or go hybrid?), to give the web scraping script builder the widest possible distribution.

At some point I factored out this "WebView tag for the open web" and turned that layer of the scraping system into a bonafide project in its own right. Eventually it became a product, then the major product that my little company sells.

I'm still figuring out the right business model, but a combination of licensing, installs (on prem), building white-label customizations, and experiments with SaaS have kept us afloat.

I also like the provocative move of being the only "RBI" product that has its source code in the open. First, it was just the "community edition", but recently I put the whole shebang (Pro et al) online (but with a non-commercial, non "Open Source" license, to be sure--while making the regular CE version finally "Open Source" albeit with AGPL-3.0 (I think forever this time! Haha :P :) xx ;p).

I think the next step for us here is going to be experimenting with a SaaS offering, maybe lead by some sort of cool free demo. The way pricing works on the smaller cloud providers, actually makes RBI (even with its bandwidth hungry real-time streaming aspect), very affordable (as long as, for the sake of COGS, you avoid GCP and AWS). We also want to get into the cloud custom VPS image marketplace, stack scripts, etc.

As it stands the deploy script should work for Debian and MacOS. Let me know if you try it out and encounter any issues! You can reach out: cris@dosyago.com

I'm still not convinced that RBI is the "wave of the future" for cybersecurity, I think of it more as an interesting virtualization layer that can power multiple applications, web scraping and automation being just one. Think of a "virtualized" browser extension API, without the gatekeeping of the Web Store, that's not closed, but open for all to extend.

That's one of the things that the power of this model brings.

I know it sounds like I'm judging you, and I probably seem like a right ignorant lazy little white prick, I bet you're ready to just about dismiss anything else I have to say, so I'm sorry to trouble you further, but I wanted to know more.

Seems like you believe it's not about where you start, it's about what you choose to do with it that matters, and sounds like you really value taking personal responsibility and working to improve your situation with your choices, rather than whinging, blaming others, making excuses, or playing the fake victim and acting entitled to the generosity of others. Sounds like you find such people really gross and disgusting, and an abomination, or at least their behavior.

I've probably already ruined your mood with my super judgy sounding comment so I'm sure you won't care what I say, but: when I read your comment i thought you were talking about leaving good people who were your family nothing, because they didn't have to suffer in the same way you clearly did.

As in: because they didn't learn to overcome the same lessons and challenges you specifically learned, they didn't deserve or earn it. As in, because, by your effort they were given an easier to start to life, you felt disgusted to make it any easier for them than you had already sacrificed to provide, and, out of some kind of resentment at having to have spend your hard earned wealth on them at all, will give them a final kick beyond the grave by gifting all your wealth to charity, as punishment.

I wasn't assuming your family was going to be egregiously, lazy, ignorant little white pricks, born in the lap of luxury and grifting off their benevolent wealthy relatives, like I'm sure you probably think I am.

How do you think people should accomplish raising their kids right?

I did miss that as being significant but did read it: yet based on the attitude displayed, it's not entirely clear that's in the cards.

It seems the commenter is more talking about her/his idea of a "principle" whereby we can "judge a person's value (and eligibility to inherit from the commenter)" by what they have done / would do with such money. This person seems to suggest they themselves have high value in that regard, and seems to suggest their family does not. To me, it wasn't clear the commenter intends to leave them "a few million" as you seem to suggest.

Agree. It's probably too much to speculate that she bedded some of her subjects, and definitely too far out to posit she would have sued them for relationship issues if she could have, right? So in lieu of that...we can sue the dead for relicensing a (much better and more interesting) derivative of our boring photograph (no offence to photogs in general, I think they're great, and photog is art, can be. but doesn't mean you can't have classless ones like her tho, or how she's acting here).

Taking this all the way to the SC to sue Warhol estate? Has to be a money play. Just, no class. I guess that's what you do when you make works that you can't sell for that much anyway, you "make up the difference" to what you think you're entitled, with a suit.

Probably she was never happy that she only got 400 for the license and Warhol got 10K for the editorial work. This is her "revenge" to "make it right."

I don't like any of this: Warhol made art but this person's using the court to prosecute about that. Ugh...just so ugly.

That's a horrible opinion to have of your family. Do you really have kids and a spouse? Why do you get to "judge" what they "do" with it? They're your family. They can live beyond your dreams of what's possible, you can't proscribe or foresee what they can do. You should want to support them, and make their life easy, and pass on your gains were you to die, right? How can you think giving it to some random charity is better than passing it to your own blood? That's a poverty of family love, to me.

This is because you're not equipped to judge what's transformative or not. Transformative is not just about the visual, art's also about the context.

You should have wondered, why can't your designer pal do it, if it's OK for Warhol?

The answer may have been: Warhol's process, coloring, final result, context, was way more transformative physically, and also semantically.

I think this is where we need art experts who are advising judges, it's sort of like maybe that trope where judges are making judgements about encryption and they don't understand the technology. Not assuming these judges were not art buffs, it's the SC, it's probably a very complex, refined, elaborate, and legally sound judgement...but I think they're missing some key connection to art to have gone this way.

2 dissenters thank God. Hopefully overturned in future, or further refined to protect artists and great art. I think the plaintiff here is less an artist and more a "professional paparazzi with a lighting set up".

This is where we need Art Trump:

Washed-up and very classless "photog" Lynn Goldsmith seeks giant lifetime basic income by looting the very great Warhol estate, amid dwindling demand for her work. A very nasty person, a true "hack"!

Can't we have protection for high art from this BS? If I make a collage, that includes a photo from a magazine, on a canvas, with some paint and other things added, it's not transformative enough? Ugh...

It's funny: the ET in the title has blinded people to this great article.

They don't know what they're missing out on, because of they're living in fear and denial of the ET subject (aping government's archaic, panicked mid-century reaction) making them too prejudiced against anything ET as to be blind to anything suggesting it that they don't see this is written by the NSA's top cryptanalysis instructor for 20 years, and contains a dense, brief, highly interesting tract for the HN audience.

The phone is trying to "read your thoughts" through your digital activity trail?

I think the AI mind-reading models should generalize well across people: https://github.com/yu-takagi/StableDiffusionReconstruction

When I hear cognitive security i think of the DL algorithms that turn brainwaves into text, and Haruki Murakami's book Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World^0 that invokes the concept of cognitive security that can defeat such as shuffling. Similar to Johnny Mnemonic's mnemonic courier^1.

This is gold! I love your world. Let’s be friends!

The GitHub block function, your friend, is.

> By that criteria, do you also believe in ghosts, extra-sensory powers, Jesus, miracle healing, bigfeet, yetis, etc.?

Ha ha ha ha. You don't believe in Jesus?

The default position of humanity toward this is curiosity and openness as demonstrated by the public in the 1940s before government influence. You think your stance rational, yet it's unnatural and fringe: your fear and denial of UFOs apes the US government's post-war panic, and while it makes sense for them to fear their loss of authority, you and so many who don't think for themselves, are like a child looking to a parent for how react to novelty, then aping their parent's reaction.

Aren't you curious about the world? What's real evidence of anything in your life?

Ha ha ha ha. I do feel endeared actually: it's nice to hear; I respect your age.

> And you need to take it easy and stop crackpotting all over the thread, you're doing your own side a disservice. If you want people to dismiss the UFO phenomenon, keep going with the meltdown, though.

Oh? Ha ha ha ha. Meltdown? Crackpot? Are you sure you're not the crackpot having a meltdown? Are you the same guy? Ha ha ha ha.

I thought about that too but came up with a workaround: it suddenly appears at that point in the cloud, displacing the puff seen. The puff actually is symmetric about insertion point, but due to the asymmetry of the cloud and the camera angle it appears like that.

Not more of a reach than many debunking chain-of-reasoning explanations, with the exception of the how.

I thought about the second point too, I don't think you need exact synchronization. You just need many more "stutter points" than framerate, and the camera will capture some of them. A way to check that would be to see a longer distance video, and observe other "cloud puffs" without seeing the craft there: you just see the trace of it.

Poor loyal deputy must suffer the humiliation of rejection... :(

Or Zuck calling for more regulations of social networks?

I mean, I guess there’s always that play: maybe Sam Altman is simply feigning enthusiasm for this to head off a burgeoning regulatory coup: how can he mobilize support against the regulations He doesn’t want? What would be a great way to galvanize support against the regulations? Maybe by doing exactly what he’s doing: by falling on his sword, and making himself seem like a monopolistic supporter of those?

Sacrificing his reputation for the greater good of open competition on AI? Well, that’s a truly noble move.

It’s a bit of a stretch, but maybe it’s very Washington I don’t know.

A more logical (economic) motivation may be: this news is taken as a threat, in effect creating a sense of scarcity around AI, which could be judged to provoke people into buying more of OpenAI's subscriptions, training, or whatever, to ensure access that, in light of such news, they may now feel is at risk.

So, the move is merely a red herring, a fabricated threat designed to provoke people to spend, not intended to actually create legislation.

Don't know which one of these is more likely if any: or maybe Sama is simply living his best life role playing as a super villain? I guess he's starting to remind me of Niander Wallace in Bladerunner 2049
