> Nope; no changes to existing UIs. Instead a driver, which has its own problems of deployment, as that requires convincing the hardware OEMs.

I infer from this and your domain name that you plan on using ML to ‘read’ UIs and extract salient features into a canonical model, and then to transform this into your more efficient interaction paradigm.

Is that a fair read?

>> It’s also the case that existing designs take into account Fitt’s law. Apple and Google are well aware of these.

> Hmmmm ... I don't think so. I remember Bruce Tognazzini wrote about how Apple messed up Fitt's law in a version of OSX, where it was one pixel away from supporting an infinite target.

I’m curious if you remember the example. Also - Tog worked at Apple for 14 years, so they clearly did know about it at that time.

> More recently was Apple's addition of "reachability" which is an incredible kludge.

It’s kludge but it has nothing to do with them not knowing fitts law. It has a lot more to do with the iterative path which started with a screen that was small enough to be reached with one hand as a constraint. Market demand forced them to relax this constraint, and they haven’t caught up with the changes yet.

> Apple and Google may have usability research, but that is nothing compared to the deep research done at Xerox Parc. I recall seeing studies on the D* machines which measured the efficiency of several text editors, broken down by select, cut, paste, etc. Xerox first tested and measured alternatives before deciding on the best one.

Did you know that many of those folks went fron Parc to Apple and continued their research?

At the first WWDC for the iPhone (2007?), I went a design lab to review our first app. The designer suggest I put navigation at the top, out of reach. I asked him "What about Fitt's Law?" His reply was "who's that?"

I don’t doubt this, but Apple has a huge number of designers. A developer evangelist is quite different from someone reporting to Alan Dye reviewing fundamental changes.

> I’m skeptical you’ll find particularly easy to achieve
I agree; this is incredibly hard to achieve. It involves integrating several moving parts, leveraging: TPUs, crypto, and negotiating with OEMs like Apple. I believe the payoff is worth it.

Do you have the core technology proven out yet?
They are absolutely, exactly the same. What you describe applies exactly to bitcoin, if not even more so.
And what of all the great investors who lost quite similar bets? Is this a matter of survivorship bias?
It's political. Support candidates and representatives that align with handling climate change, and support policies such as nuclear energy, carbon tax, getting rid of oil company subsidies, reducing dark money and lobbying, geoengineering efforts, and increasing ability for people to move away from stricken areas (Louisiana).

Fortunately, tech people are moving to Texas and Florida and other places where their vote and donations will matter.
We're doomed imho because humans (i.e. politicians and voters) have no intuition for logarithmic growth.

"What's the doubling time?" seems to be a question that's absent from the public discourse, yet it's fundamental to appreciating the runaway urgency of our situation.
Brought a smile see the blog mentioned, thanks! :)
It matters, but choice of major and taking advantage of opportunities matter more. After your first job, for most career tracks, nobody asks what your school / GPA was.
Thank you! I'm favoriting this comment. This is exactly what I was thinking about (+/- some polish)!

In particular, the SieveOfErastothenes() call, which I can inline, and inside the overlay, I can inline the call to MarkMultiples(), and the top-level variable name `limit` is threaded all the way down.

Please don't take that demo site down, or publish it somewhere persistent - I'd love to show it around to people as the demonstration of the tool I'm looking for.

I love how you did this! It hasn't even occurred to me, but now that I saw it, I want to have this too! I also like how you're trying to guess which branches in a conditional won't be taken, and diminish them visually.

If you have 8 of these on a single system, you are getting very close to RAM bandwidth. Still, there is issue of latency and TBW.
High performance m.2 drives come with removable finned heatsinks for this reason. Without them they rely on throttling during sustained heavy workload. Dissipating 10 Watts in a desktop isn't the concern.
roughly: 2nd derivative of output is now zero (ish), so the 1st derivative is a positive constant.

Very cool! I have run into the issue of deploying models recently. I see that this is using AWS lambda functions. How does this hold up with larger models (3-5gb)?

Trying to deploy a model to Azure Functions didn't play nice because of my file sizes.

I have a bit. I really want to avoid writing code as much as possible. The flip side is that I've noticed that a lot of people in the Rust community are too quick to reach for a library. For gftopdf, I had someone suggest that I use nom to parse the GF byte code, but there's enough impedance mismatch and missing functionality (I don't know that 24-bit integers exist outside of Knuthian binary formats) and the functionality was simple enough (four short functions to read values of u8, u16, u24 and i32 into an i32 container, plus a read a string with a 1–3 byte length parameter at the beginning) that it didn't seem appropriate to have the overhead of an external dependency. On the flip side, I was more than happy to use anyhow, thiserror and structopt for their functionality.

I suspect though, given how input will get tokenized, though, that I may not be able to use a generic library.

No worries, after typing it out I definitely feel like there should be an easier way to say "show me the stack of commits that touched this line(s) of code", and I'm sure some git wizard has a fancy one liner that could more easily do that.

It's really just a matter of money. Wind and solar are enough to produce energy; add in nuclear if you like. We also know how to make Hydrogen and Methane to store large amounts of energy over long time periods, so storage is not a technical problem either. It's just very expensive right now. WW2 was a bigger manufacturing challenge that what we would need to do to become carbon neutral. There are several studies with roadmaps to net zero emissions published. They tend to be very long and technical, so they don't get much media attention.
For future reference, as I found this information to be difficult to find: the flag for CMake is `CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=YES`. In out-of-source builds, the output file will be in the build directory, therefore one has to create a symlink to ensure the language server finds it in the project root.
The issue is a lack of designs with promising commercial application. The world has dumped plenty of money into fusion design research since the 50s but only very recently created a design that could actually generate more power than it consumes containing the plasma field.

The current most effective designs output 1.25w for every watt of input. And only at a very small scale. It's great that we can finally produce net energy from fusion. But let's not get ahead ourselves here. The issue is not funding, it's lack of brain power. Fusion is an insanely difficult nut to crack and trillions of dollars won't do crack it alone.
A 50% increase in collection efficiency of water for the same amount of trap space with no additional product cost is pretty amazing! There is a capital cost of changing the way the traps are manufactured though.
Why are you still beating this drum? I agree they were not totally truthful but it seems like an altruistic motive, even with them saying that, hospitals and medical workers were needing to go to extreme lengths to procure masks for their workers. It does seem more important in those early days to prioritize the front-line medical workers versus regular ole folks who could stay home.

One thing you can guarantee is that the value of GBP could only go down with these fools in power. Maybe we should have some rules stipulating that must be clear during political campaigning.
Is anyone aware of something similar that supports Redshift? I have some colleagues that would benefit from a UI on top of a few Redshift tables to manage data (edit/import/delete).
Yes, I think the midwife gave me (father) a choice to cut the umbilical cord. I didn't want to, so she did it, and also removed the placenta, and sutured the mother(while the baby was in mom's chest). Once the suture was complete, the midwife and the helper nurse went out of the room and said they are available immediately if we needed them. That hour went like a minute :-)

Paraphrasing a quote from there: "No, I can't be narcissistic, I hate myself too much! In fact, I spend all day looking in the mirror and thinking about how much I hate myself."
I’m not convinced they did. Not only is this an account by a notorious “liar” (as herodotus is known) but the Egyptians were notoriously bad at sailing due to being spoiled by the Nile. When they travelled in the Red Sea they famously hugged the coast stopping at sundown and they hardly ever went far out on the Mediterranean.

No, people like you are what prevents correct action.

And the guy you're citing is still correct.

We didn't reverse it before 2000. Nations will dissapear under water and general turmoil.

He never said it would happen in 2000. Only that the reversal had to happen before 2000 to prevent it from happening.
At a previous employer, many of our larger customers had users (a single individual) with multiple logins, for reasons both good and bad. So some people would log out of one user, then log in again with a different user.

Other than that, the only other time "sign out" even came up was when we moved to SSO and went round and round about if and how to implement single logout[1] and what could be expected.

Even during an ice age lasting about 100k years you had interglacial periods on a shorter time scale where the ice shields retreated significantly.

The point is we‘re talking about immense natural geological climate changes happening on the order of 1000 years within the life time of all human kind.

It’s disingenuous framing to imply mankind to go extinct because of the current temperature trends.

Again, this doesn’t mean we should just watch and go on burning coal. But it’s a bit ridiculous seeing intelligent people on HN to get carried away by scaremongering.
Yes but we need a functioning press without censorship to have faith that laws made in these times are legitimate.

I think what the original dictionary did, was describing an ancient term e.g. κροκωτός (krokotos) with a then contemporary occurence i.e. “a saffron-coloured robe worn by gay women”. The latter which may well have been a misconception or prejudice.

I'm not familiar with Quran passages (it's on my list though). Reading those doesn't clearly tell me how the core of Islam allows doubt... so I'll ask this, are you saying that it's ok for Muslims to doubt Mohammad as the prophet?

(btw, I commented in a different thread, under the same parent comment if you want details, but I'm not saying religions are free of doubt, I'm saying the core of a religion is faith, and absolute certainty of some kind).
> 2) all the variables that are in scope in the Python session at deployment time.

My eyebrows raised in surprise at this point! Obviously there's a tradeoff between convenience ("Oooh it's working! great let me deploy right now") and reproducibility ("Hmm I need to re-deploy what my teammate was working on because <reason>, let me go and find their notebook... ah here it is, oh weird why do I have this undefined variable") and this is hard on the convenience side.

Was it surprising to you too that you'd have users who wanted this location on the continuum?

Mining cryptocurrencies using renewable energy means that someone else has to use dirty energy.

Energy waste is energy waste, no matter what kind of energy it is wasting. Cryptocurrencies are, by design, pure waste, and the only rational action is to ban them before they do any more damage.

I'm actually a bit optimistic about it. I know Mozilla has reached-out to uBlock Origin before (I believe it had something to do with uBlock Origin's UI) in what I would consider to be a positive light.

It's also why I'm very interested in hearing what, if any, Raymond Hill's (author of uBlock Origin) thoughts on this matter.
No, I want us to stop wasting energy on anti-social ideas. I want governments to end an industry that produces a net-negative value and is at least 75% powered by coal.

Absolutely. Wet-bulb temperature episodes are exactly the sort of thing where increasing energy in the chaotic system will lead to previously unreachable spikes in the system: by increasing the ambient energy of the system X degrees, thus increasing its chaotic energy, you produce a maximum peak excursion of X*Y degrees (also accompanied by unexpectedly COLD extremes in a more irregular pattern).

Even in the absence of other weather events these exaggerated peaks and dips are dangerous to life.
You should probably read the citations more closely. The strain that went global was the Wuhan strain, which may have been genetically descended from the strain found elsewhere in China (including Guangdong) but the Wuhan strain demonstrates additional mutations. (See, e.g., https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-020-00459-7, and even the article cited by the reddit post https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2020-05-...)

IOW, his evidence doesn't disprove that the SARS2 outbreak is related to a lab leak from the Wuhan lab. At best, he shows that a related coronavirus also broke out in Hubei province some months earlier. But while genetically similar to COVID19, it wasn't COVID19. At best, it was a precursor strain, but lacking the mutations found in COVID19, the Hunan strain did not reach pandemic status and fizzled out.

Also, the reddit post focuses heavily on debunking the meat-market theory, but meat-market super-spreader event has been debunked for over a year (and had been by the time of the post). The reddit post suggests that a Hunan seafood market was the actual source of the outbreak, despite the fact that the Hunan seafood market is not close to bat habitats nor does it have sellers selling bats. (Note that the Hunan market theory has been advanced by China because the market does sell frozen seafoods imported from other countries, and China currently claims that COVID19 was caused by imported frozen food.)

Other reasons to treat the "debunking" in that reddit comment with a boulder-sized grain of salt: it mixes up the Wuhan and Hunan food markets; the timeline asserts that COVID19 could not be Wuhan-based because was found outside of China by the time of the alleged food market superspreader event, but this timeline actually fits with what we now know about COVID19: that it had already begun spreading in humans by the fall of 2019; one of the big revelations following the WHO report was that multiple Wuhan lab staff were infected with COVID19 in early fall 2019 with the strain that ultimately reached pandemic status.

The lab-leak hypothesis does not assume that COVID19 was man-made. It assumes that it leaked from the lab due to negligence or failures in safety protocols.
Expecting "freedom" without anticipating any kind of societal responsibility is exactly what I'm talking about. Participating in society is about mutual responsibility, not just choice.

Anti-social individualism permits this kind of thinking but I can't see a moral justification beyond self-interest.
you aren't presenting any data. I don't have the faintest idea what you mean by "thats just math".

You say so confidently it can't be solved, which I'm going to infer you mean impossible and not just hard.

We could without a doubt drastically reduce co2 emmissions to near zero by switching to nuclear, and paying for nuclear plants in developing countries, banning gas vehicles. Require any current and needed hydro carbon power plants to implement carbon capture.

That is hard, very hard. Might start a war. But it is not impossible like you are stating.

Neat, would love to understand how this would affect Node.js performance. Tooling like esbuild[0] exists for the very reason that compiled languages are significantly faster, so I wonder how viable of an alternative (in terms of performance) is it to build an esbuild in `node --sparkplug`.

Or take the existing Webpack CLI which is written in Node, what kind of improvements can we expect there, if any?

If Mozilla intended to remove blocking webRequest, sure, this is what it'd look like.

However, if Mozilla intended to keep the option of blocking webRequest (or whatever's necessary to keep uBlock possible), it would also look like this. It's not an option for Mozilla not to support the Chrome API, because the entire point of WebExtensions is the admission that Chrome is the dominant browser, and extension makers will only consider porting to Firefox if it's as little effort as possible. Hence they need to support the same API's.

Given that uBlock Origin was the first extension they added support for in Firefox for Android, I'm relatively confident that they're intent on making sure it stays able to do its job.

Matter of perspective I admit but it also could just be a weird pastiche of elements of C, COBOL, M, Ada, and JavaScript. Nothing here seems particularly ambitious really.. idiosyncratic however. A good counterpoint might be Go.
