I think in ChromeOS you can run Linux (sort of like WSL2 in Windows). I don't think one can run Linux apps directly in ChromeOS. One can run Android apps directly in ChromeOS though.

In India it's not even "speed money" that you used to have to pay (don't know how bad it is these days). It's "being allowed to play" money.

Tata could have been much, much bigger. But to the extent they could get away with it, they refused to pay bribes to politicians and government employees (they couldn't refuse to pay "any and all" bribes, for they would have been shut down completely if they took that posture).

Thank you.

In the context of Web Apps, I suppose this means that data is first stored to some sort of in-browser storage and synced to remote in the background.

Someone please clarify what "local-first" means in this context. Thank you.

If anyone can clarify what "Comment’s Triggering Correctness" likely means, please do. Thank you.

That's insanely amazing.

Thanks for the share.

A hybrid solution with AI and Blockchain would work best (for the very long term).

That way the content can be monetized using Bitcoin as the payment backbone.

You laugh, but all TV will work this way in the future. Micropayments. Think Grameen, but for Video Clips.

AI solves this. Get AI to consume the lot and store it somewhere.

Then, in the future, query the AI to find out if a specific piece of footage (that you need) is contained therein.

“No Wireless. Less Space than a Nomad. Lame.”

Step 1: Get the patents.

Step 2: Wait for the tech to mature.

Step 3: $$$

After a few nails in its coffin, a Chinese co. will acquire it, and then the West will wonder how they could let such foundational tech be lost to a competitor nation.

"SaaSiroth" seems to be an inside joke. Anyone know what it points to?

Also, please feel free to list other inside jokes in the video. I could see lots of potential ones, including the oil barrel.

Templo Mayor. Mexico. They discovered it recently next to the big famous Cathedral.

They flattened a few city blocks to excavate it.

But they will never flatten the cathedral, or other large famous buildings in the vicinity.

Point is: the longer we wait to excavate, the more the likelihood that something's been constructed on top.

So much will never be found thanks to this law.

When I first read about the reset (step-up) in basis after death, I couldn't believe this was the law.

Why should inheriting a property reset the basis?

What a ridiculous notion. Someone's already getting an asset for free (inheriting it), and we're further subsidizing the tax liability on it. Taxes that were due to the government are wiped out.

The 3rd party service, do they require you to mail the actual coins to them before they authenticate?

My Covid "Toxo" hypothesis.

Hear me out.

Cat poop has something in it ("Toxo") that makes mice less afraid of cats. Win for cats.

I see so much scientifically-unsound* anti-vaxx hysteria from people who used to be otherwise quite intelligent and rational, that I suspect that Covid has done a number on them (like "Toxo" does a number on mice).

* IMHO, there can be rational hesitation to vaxx (Precautionary Principle, etc.) but I'm seeing "science-based mumbo jumbo".

Thanks. I seem to remember an article, about someone very accomplished, where they described their "sleep meditation"; it was something very similar.

> name an example from the category

Do you mean synonyms, or something else? Can you give an example of a category and A, B, C please? Thanks.

Am curious how you handle trust.

E.g. someone says the delivery didn't come through. Or that the coin is not authentic.

Those are some expensive coins! So was curious.

Whatever floats your boat.

Thanks!

E.g. I add the keywords "Permutations, Combinations" to the "Name" field of a bunch of Bookmarks.

I have now crosslinked the Bookmarks.

So while it may not be exactly what the linked OP article is talking about, it's a way of storing knowledge, linked via horizontal relationships.

But whatever floats your boat.

A rant about Chrome Bookmarks Manager (it's on-topic, I promise).

A few years ago, a Good Samaritan on HN told me my bookmarks (I had about 10,000 at the time) were my "knowledge graph".

I had no idea what that was, but upon researching the concept, I was mind-blown by the simple truth of what I had been told.

Since then I became even more rapacious with my bookmarking (and especially editing their "Name" field to add tags and keywords), and I have about 30,000 bookmarks now.

And they truly are my knowledge graph. More so than the 1,000 or so text files where I store my notes on various topics. Mainly because of the Bookmarks Search feature. Let's say I want to refresh my understanding of Permutations, Combinations, Factorials (like I wanted to do, and did, yesterday). All I have to do is enter those keywords into Bookmarks Search and I instantly get the best (i.e. most relevant and intuitive for me) articles I've ever found on these topics (because I've bookmarked and tagged/keyworded them in the past). I find that more and more bookmarks end up with 404's these days, but then there's Internet Archive. Invaluable.

Which brings me to Chrome Bookmarks. There seems to have been no innovation in the last 15 years (other than the time they replaced the prior [and post/current] system with the horrible "Cards", and thankfully reversed course due to the howling protests and decided to instead offer "Cards" as a Chrome Extension [which is apparently not popular]). For example:

- One still cannot exclusively search folder names.

- One cannot search within a single folder only (by extension, one cannot search within selected multiple folders only).

- One cannot use Regex to search, or do any kind of Fuzzy Search.

- One cannot download (cache) a copy of a bookmarked page (in case the page 404s in the future) to store permanently in the some Zotero type storage system.

- When adding a new bookmark, one cannot conduct a search (using text keywords) for the folder one wants to store it in.

I realize that some of these features are available via third-party Chrome Extensions and the like. However, I stopped relying on third party anything after I relied on one for tagging bookmarks and this third party Extension decided one day to 404 on me (it shut down).

Please Google do more with Chrome Bookmarks.

Rant over.

(Addendum 1: Regarding the text files: yeah, I've tried Zettelkasten software. The one that came closest to my liking was FeatherWiki. However, in the end I continued with plain ol' text files because they're the most Lindy [plain text files are likely going to be the last format rendered unreadable by whatever destroys civilization as we know it].)

(Addendum 2: there seem to be some people out there who have uncanny storage and retrieval systems. E.g. @Balajis on X comes to mind. When he's in a debate/argument on X, he has an uncanny ability to pull out relevant contextual material, instantly, from his back pocket when the situation demands it. Let's hope they share their systems.)

Something I've wondered for a while...

I have a bunch of Chrome extensions installed, but they're all free...

so...

how do devs make extension-development lucrative?

Is this some enterprise-level activity where you market to private players who side-load these extensions for enterprise use?

Thanks.

After seeing all that Blender could do, I used believe that learning 3D modeling/animation could be a very useful skill. And it's free, OSS, etc.

However, it has a very steep learning curve, and I'm not sure how generative AI queers the pitch.

Thank you. I love that Karpathy is a minimalism enthusiast (nanoGPT, microGPT).

Thank you.
