I definitively noticed a major uptick in both my well-being and an ability to hold a nuanced opinion on the world when I have stopped using reddit. The medium is the message.

Thank you for your contributions to the Python ecosystem. It definitely is inspiring to see Python, the language to which I owe my career and interest in tech, grow into a performant language year by year. This would not have been possible without individuals like you.

Extensions prior to MV3 were notoriously insecure and granted extension developers a very wide attack surface. Assuming that Google only has a sinister reason to switch to a better standard in an ecosystem riddled with ill-intentioned actors is a bit too cynical.

> very wide attack surface.

Do you have details of specific realistic attacks that were possible under MV2 and now impossible under MV3?


A very quick Google search could have done the trick for you - https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate...

That page contains a list of things you aren't allowed to do in MV3 anymore. There's no explanation of attacks being prevented.

In what specific ways are you safer when installing a malicious MV3 extension compared to installing a malicious MV2 extension?


No, it's not. They could easily have solved the problems without introducing changes to cripple ad blockers, but they decided their investors need some more cash. Actions speak.

Google will only ever push major updates that are neutral or beneficial to their ad revenue. I do not believe they killed MV3 due to ad blockers, but it's the type of proposal that can survive at Google.

I have seen major celebrations here in a major Dutch city. If anything, my bet is that overall balance of Muslim opinion on the West has probably shifted to be more favorable.

Both can be true at the same time.

Ycombinator is far from your average venture capital rent-seeking company. I am surprised that a person who thinks this way without added nuance would spent time on this website.


I'd say that it's taking much needed steps to achieve perfection but many more steps are there ahead. The next language closer to perfection would definitely have a much gentler introduction curve, among other things.


Which coding assistant do you think needs a gentle introduction curve?


A bit surprised to learn that Rednote maintains one of the leading open-source OCR models on the market, nice.


Fair point. The AI is simply taking open-source projects engaging in an infinite runway of virtue signaling at a face value.


God speed and thank you for your work. We need a professional world without the hellish Teams-Slack duopoly.


The last thing I would want is for excessively neurotic bureaucrats to interfere with all the mind-blowing progress we've had in the last couple of years with LLM technology.
