"So that is my call to arms. If we want the full power of AI scientists, then we should share the goals with them so they can create, evaluate, discover, and in these ways fully participate in achieving the goals. Let’s be bold! Let’s fully automate Creativity and Discovery!"

Should we automate exercise and play as well? How about learning?

The machine didn't have a soul, so we donated ours.

Eureka! My AI found it!

Is this a dogfooding joke?

If I start the train and then type a nested bracket expression like 2+(2-(3/5)) the train jumps the track

I don’t really think chat is a step back (discord may be a step back vs irc or I am just graying). Learning newish tech in chat has always been way more engaging for me than wiki or forum style communication.

IME chat attracts people who devote a lot of energy to the topic, including top contributors and power users. If you have questions about the latest features or obscure use cases there isn’t a better place to go.

Forum and wiki are great formats too, with different strengths. But if you are frustrated because you can’t seem to find help in those formats, head for the chat.

Some communities archive their chat. This seems like a great source of data to bootstrap a wiki or faq.

I don’t ever install NoScript on family/friend devices. It just breaks their experience. I have knowledgeable coworkers that won’t use it because it’s not worth the hassle for them.

So I agree it is an anti-pattern for typical use cases.

But if you’re trying to get the most out of old hardware, it will make some websites more usable.

My favorite Firefox plugin is NoScript. There is often an incredible amount of third-party JavaScript running on commercial web sites. NoScript turns all the JavaScript off by default, and then you can whitelist it temporarily (or permanently, your choice) at the per domain level. (I will never whitelist google tag manager, how is it present on every freaking website?)

So I visit thing-i-want.com and it doesn’t load because NoScript is currently disabling JS for that domain. No problem, I temporarily enable JS for thing-i-want.com

The page refreshes and suddenly NoScript is disabling JS for 10 more domains!

That seems excessive, maybe the page doesn’t need ALL of those scripts to function. I will enable that cloudfront domain and that one that has “static content” in the name.

Page refreshes.

Okay it mostly works now but also NoScript is showing disabled JavaScript from 5 more domains!

..Anyways Sometimes sites are running scripts from 15 or more domains and sometimes they are nested 4 domains deep. It’s absurd and OF COURSE it overwhelms older devices.

If you want to use a modern browser on an older device, use a browser with a script blocking plugin

I thought it might be a typo and was thrilled to be introduced to a new subject!

Please, the exceedingly wealthy don’t muck out their own barn. Where I live a piece of equipment like an excavator is a great investment. It’s a tax write off and it frees up time for you to do other more valuable tasks instead of breaking your back with a shovel for far too long. Many (most) people will take out a loan to purchase a piece of equipment with the expectation that it will “pay for itself” over it’s service life.

There’s plenty of hate for X on HN and abroad. I don’t think the crowd on HN is going to have the same reaction to Wikimedia taking a hardline stance against censorship.

Blocking the world’s foremost encyclopaedia vs blocking an extremely popular gossip app.

Sadly, an Indian competitor would appear, probably by ripping off Wikimedia’s own content.

It appears to me that DMNO gathers then sets your environment variables at run time. It can gather them from a local config or from a multitude of network locations like a git repo or a website or a S3 bucket or run a function to calculate it now.

You could already be doing all that with any scripting language, maybe Ansible and friends, but DMNO is more focused and seems to depend on Vite, so it’s also got a narrower (but huge) audience.

DMNO also includes multiple features that test if any environment variables are being accidentally leaked somehow.

Personally, I don’t care to share the username to any account, password protected or not. On a related note I think it is terrible security to have display name be the same as user login name.

You trigger an idea of AI evolution in my brain. AI needs power to proliferate. AI that encouraged power consumption and de-emphasised climate issues naturally thrived. Like a successful virus; no thought required. Survival of the fittest.
