That just sounds like a browser bug though. Client side code shouldn't try to work around it, the website should just notify all users that Chrome is broken and won't play audio properly

Looks like it's for couch coop. If anybody wants to do this on a home PC there's also [Parsec](https://parsec.app/) or [Sunshine](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine)

I think it's because it's an apples to oranges comparison. I'm guessing you installed Linux yourself on your PCs, instead of it coming pre-installed. Whereas for Mac OS, you can only get it on devices pre-installed, so naturally all hardware functions like sleep will work perfectly. I'm guessing if you buy a laptop from those distributors with Linux pre-installed, you will also get great hardware support

I'd like to see a comparison between, say, how many people want to customize their scroll speed (hard on linux, easy in windows/macos) and some other use cases, like how many people to sandbox and control permissions for individual apps (easy on Linux using Flatseal, hard on window/macos).

Then we can get a better sense of how niche these demands are, and how well these desktop OSes support them

In case people are wondering how Twitter would know something is offensive before it's reported:

> the ruling that Twitter has a duty not only to remove the illegal content that is reported, but also to track down fundamentally similar content anywhere on the platform, from any account, and ensure that it ceases

So I guess we just trust that Twitter's "similarity" ranking is infallible

As well as "with a pre-computed index"

> people have determined that the location doesn't make sense for what he's claiming.

Details on this?

I tried Yaosobi's Racing into the Night (which is about a woman tempting a man into suicide [1]) and the AI understanding is completely the opposite lol:

Though granted, the metaphor in the lyrics "racing into the night" is probably lost on this AI

Would this count as stalking though? I pulled up a definition on Google and

> According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the legal definition of "stalking" means "engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress."

http://www.oxfordlegal.com/legal-definition-stalking/

Using an antenna to figure out somebody's approximate location and publicizing it, when that somebody already has stalkers going after his children [1], seems like it would cause reasonable fear

Yeah the article mentions that they outperformed Codex, but was Codex specifically trained on code contests?

Care to elaborate? Has there been any instances of malware?

So the author prefers a tech world centered on the keyboard rather than the screen. I guess I can see why, since the author wrote a terminal-based browser. But I think the vast majority moved away from terminal-based browsers for a reason

> To refute this, one must show that the "critical mass theory" is not significant and that driver attentiveness to cyclists is not a function of the number of cyclists.

Not quite. The critical mass theory could be real and significant, and ridership could drop from a helmet mandate, but the question is how it stacks against the reduction of head injuries from the helmet mandate

> The civil rights movement didn’t boo hoo that things were “hard to work around”.

I'm quite confident that the civil rights movement did complain that things were hard to work around. That didn't stop the movement of course. Just like people are still fighting the big tech monopoly, despite the uphill battle

The solution is to integrate with AI. Why do people think Elon is working on Neuralink?

Monopolies don't need to have all the market share, there just needs to be no viable substitutes. And a social network that is tiny with barely any content, is not a viable substitute. Another characteristic is high barriers to entry, which for social networks, includes overcoming the network effect as well as dealing with Cloudflare, Mastercard, etc. It doesn't matter if there are work arounds, if the cost of these workarounds is high, it's a monopoly.

I and other users don't expect LBRY to be moderated, so it's current state falls in line with those expectations. Maybe those with other expectations should change them. Not everything needs to be like Youtube.

And Safari can absolutely moderate content if it wanted to. Apple could easily add domain blacklists, or even a whitelist. But they choose not to because it would break expectations of what a browser should be. And clearly for LBRY, moderating the way Apple wants would break the expectations of the users and developers of LBRY.

Day 1 was pretty mindblowing on how it was able to correct itself, and even identify it's own mistake.

But looks like it's already struggling by Day 2. Took multiple hours and 30+ attempts by the author

Personally I would consider neither of those examples as censorship. Unless the theater in your second example was the only theater in the world. When I said platform, I probably should have clarified that I meant "big platform".

There is still a difference though. With self correction, you make the choice. With platform censorship, the platform makes the choice for you. There may be an external force in both cases, but in the former case you can still choose to ignore it.

> you probably don't want an app on your store that allows any user to stumble onto an uncensored video of people getting decapitated.

Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari will all allow any user to stumble onto those videos. People who use browsers know the risk. And the people who use LBRY also know the risk.

Cancellation is not the same as simply voicing disapproval. Cancellation is closely intertwined with mob mentality and identity politics.

And telling people that mob mentality is bad, is not censorship. Telling people to self correct is different from telling a platform to correct people

That's what a standard d4 would look like, but GP was inventing a problem for exploration, as is standard practice in mathematics

> The augment put forth is partly that an app store / hub not accepting all possible apps is a form of censorship,

I believe they are saying that a _monopolistic_ app store that doesn't accept all apps is a form of censorship. And then the article (along with some comments in this thread) explain how Google Play and Apple App Store are monopolistic

I wonder why Sabrina didn't link to her video from her article

Speaking from a US perspective

1. The US also had information dense fliers / magazines / newspapers back in the day. The point is that the US moved away (at least in web design), while Japan didn't

2. Hard to comment on "competence", though I guess I'd like to see a minimalist redesign of a japanese website and see a survey on which one Japanese people prefer

3. Hacker News is extremely niche. And as much as HN people hate Reddit's new modern design, Reddit has orders of magnitude more users than HN. I would bet the vast majority of people prefer the UI of Reddit over HN

I used to think you could just use a warning that forces the user to follow specific instructions. But the author says this "impossible to ignore" warnings:

> It causes us to concentrate on the unhabitual-task at hand and not on whether we want to be throwing away our work

And in fact, I learned this the hard way. One time, while in a rush to meet up with some friends, I tried to sign out of a mobile app. I went to settings and scanned for the logout button, saw some red text, and clicked it. There was a warning, which I quickly clicked through. Then there was a dialog asking me to enter my password to confirm. I thought that was strange, but just then I got a notification that my friends were outside, and I quickly tapped the input box, auto-filled from my password manager, and headed out the door. Later on, I learned that I deleted my account.

I was very lucky that this happened to be an account for a service that I self host and backup regularly. I restored from backup and got my account back. But I shudder to think what would happen if it were my Google or iCloud account.

Honestly I don't know what the app developers could have done differently here. Maybe not put the sign out button next to the delete account button. But it goes to show that impossible-to-ignore warnings are totally possible to ignore

Not sure about that. MinutePhysics has a video about how correlation can imply causality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUti6vGctQM
