> The blue-eye effect looked to me like the first colourised movies where they hand-painted the actual film.

That's how they did the blue-eye effect on David Lynch's 1984 version (with hand-painting, probably not drawing directly on the film). Don't know if that maybe influenced Villeneuve's version.
There is a difference between “the app has a pretty UI to set something” and “this setting is configurable”.

One of the great things about the Mac is that there is always the option to defer certain advanced settings to the `defaults` program on the command line (or just things you want to make configurable but do not yet have time to extend the GUI). So if you want a somewhat-streamlined UI with just a few of the most common options, you can do that without completely sacrificing the ability to expose the rest somewhere else.
Users love customization until they hate the result.
Thanks for the link! I didn't mean Dune looked intentionally fake, but I think there was some cohesiveness in the creative decisions behind the VFX, the cinematography, the set and costumes designs, the editing, etc. that intentionally creates an enhanced dramatic aesthetic, along the lines of what you might see in a Baz Luhrmann movie.

As per the original author's point, the shot included from Dune looks like something out of a fantasy world, whereas the shot from Lawrence of Arabia just looks like a dude walking around in the desert. But I think this difference was intentional and goes deeper than just CGI
> but it shows the lack of discoverability that happens when the list of settings gets long and you have to dig for them.

how many users is this in proportion of the silent majority which has no trouble finding what they want in the menus ? you can't base a judgment on complaints alone
I also use WireGuard to connect my home router to a VPS to get my home connected to my network. However, VPNs highly depend on the availability of your residential ISP, the speed and stability are not desirable, especially when I run some servers at home. Having a dedicated line with BGP would be good, but there's no such a thing I guess for residential users.
> In particular I'd be very happy never to see the claim "people only add settings because they're shirking their job of making a decision" again. I don't think it's true, and I think it's impolite to make such a claim without justification.

Reading carefully, I don't think OP made this claim exactly. I suspect all three of us might agree that there are good reasons to add settings and that we should be careful of adding them for bad reasons.

I think in many cases a setting gets added not because an individual /refused/ to make a decision but rather because no individual was /empowered/ to make the decision. I find it easy to imagine a meeting (perhaps a meeting with too many participants) that gets deadlocked on some question and the only apparent way to get out before lunch is to compromise on making it a setting. And maybe compromising the design is the best way to go, but then that's how it will be.
From the article:

"Eradicable diseases usually need to meet the following criteria: it’s an infectious disease, humans are the major host of for the disease, effective vaccines or treatments are available for the disease, and there is political and financial support for the eradication efforts"
How much VRAM does it use during inference?
I don't think it's quite as impressive as you make it out to be. Median performance in a Codeforces programming competition is solving the easiest 1-2 problems out of 5-6 problems. Like all things programming the top 1% is much, much better than the median.

There's also the open problem of verifying correctness in solutions and providing some sort of flag when the model is not confident in its correctness. I give it another 5 years in the optimistic case before AlphaCode can reliably compete at the top 1% level.

r/daddit: I'm a long time lurker and I'm so grateful for this resource. Sounds like you're quite involved there. Thank you! I've wondered how I could introduce Dadditude there but I think I prefer to wait until the offering is more differentiated. Unless you think there is a way to do it now.

Thank you for the rephrasing suggestions, that is so helpful and I'll definitely incorporate some of this next time I pitch. I love the concept of weasel words (as a non-native speaker).
I agree that the criticism undoes itself. The negative CGI we talk about is the negative CGI we notice; we don't talk about all the CGI that we never notice, of which there is a huge amount. Take for example the movie 1917[0], a WWII film that's extremely practical. They actually dug trenches for the actors to run/walk through, they actually built a bombed out town for a central set-piece, and they actually had huge numbers of men running across a battlefield.

Yet it's also the case that the movie seamlessly transitions from filmed shots of actors to complete CGI replacements for multiple seconds before transitioning back to filmed shots of actors, without a single cut or transition, and no one would know that unless you watch the effects breakdown.[0]

I agree that CGI is almost certainly a massive vitalizing force. CGI is making it possible for creators, hollywood or no, to build far beyond what was ever possible to those creators in decades past. Take this tiny short film, "Royal Dumplings"[1], a student made short film for no budget[2] . Made with a camera, green cloth backdrop, and hardware store lights. What we get to see on screen, even if "un-real", is so vastly more interesting than what we'd have gotten 30 years ago at this price that I don't care.

Are there any videos of him speaking German or French? Two ex-presidents of two different small European countries had ~5 languages listed in wikipedia, yet in reality they were speaking native + some euro-english only. Now I'm very skeptical about multilingual politicians.
Agreed agreed. The problem with The Hobbit was not the visual effects. The problem was that it was made without a plan, under duress. Lindsay Ellis has a three-part video essay series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTRUQ-RKfUs; yes, I know it says 1/2, I promise there is a 2/3) exploring this.
This is a serious question. Have you checked? Saudi money is everywhere in tech.

edit: to answer your question about my principles, they involve not inflating the importance of the dismembering of a journalist by a despot against the similar or worse, less publicized evils of other funding sources. Khashoggi isn't my issue. I cared about 100x more about the women who did the driving protests who were jailed after the Saudis loosened up laws against women driving. I cared about that while the paper that employed Khashoggi was doing intense PR on behalf of MBS in every issue.
Google will still tell them 'I have X users interested in your product'. It is just that Google will compute that from the contents of the wedsite instead of from tracking users.

It would be amazing if there would be no ads outside google search. But that will not happen. That is a void that will be filled very quickly.

I have a hard time figuring out the right balance for my side projects, too. I've used Heroku for a long time, and it used to be the best offering period, there wasn't any competition about it, but lately offerings like Render and Vercel have been compelling alternatives.

Except "reject all" closes the popup. Gotcha!

So you have to first got to "legitimate interest", uncheck all the individual "purposes", because usually there is no "object all". Once you've done that (with "object all" if you're lucky), you then have to go to individual vendors, because objecting to all the purposes does not cover all the vendors. Yeah. Again, if you're lucky there's an "object all", but usually there isn't. So gotta uncheck all those. There's lots. And often there isn't even a good scrollbar indicator to show how far you've gotten. If there is it's just depressing.

Then you can hit "Reject All". And it's not entirely clear if "Reject All" doesn't turn the LIs back on, because, once again, that dismisses the dialog.
It's dirt cheap and incredible versatile. It has many different crystal structures that can give you an incredibly wide range of properties. General purpose mild steel used in buildings. Stainless steel that resists corrosion. Maraging steels used in aerospace.

Also, the high modulus is interesting. Some components are stiffness limited such that you couldn't use aluminum or titanium even if you wanted.
This entire piece is just a series of ad hominem attacks and ranting about how this is all just a continuation of Soviet plots to discredit Israel. It doesn’t even attempt to address the facts on the ground from the report.
> Governments roll onto their backs for Musk like it's the second coming of christ.

Lol, nonsense. Musk moved Tesla HQ out of California precisely because he couldn't get the local or state government to play ball (a California politician publicly Tweeted "F*ck Elon Musk"--hardly "rolling onto their backs"). Moreover, if you can't depend on governments to defy Musk and require regulatory oversight of FSD, how are you going to depend on them to outlaw FSD altogether?
Lots of old lightweight materials show tensile strength greater than steel.

For instance, oh, nylon fiber is stronger than some steels, and way less dense:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength#Typi...

One kind of steel, "ASTM steel" comes in at 400-500 MPa; nylon fibers at 900.

Check out the Bamboo entry in the table. Human hair is also impressive.
How does this compare with carbon fiber-epoxy laminate for elastic modulus? I don't have a ballpark figure for bulletproof glass. Looks like a typical carbon fiber laminate has similar, if slightly higher density (around 1.5 g/cm3).
Some small sugesstions
When a file upload finish is not very clear that It finished, maybe you can change the color of the bar(or add an icon) to signal that it finished

also, I don't know if it was just me but the upload popup didn't work only the drag and drop one.

apart from that very cool project I also am an elixir developer but haven't had the chance to test liveview but it looks very good
I think it's ok that people don't know. Doing better at discovery is obviously better but if there is a manual/help function that explains all the features... good enough.

Some people want to take the effort to become proficient with their tools, others are doomed to wish they had features that are right in front of them.

But being less powerful, efficient, and adaptable to keep the design clean and simple and make everything discoverable should be an anti-pattern for serious apps and tools.
Still no match yet. I was waiting for 10 minutes on the submitted link, but didn't get a match. I then waited 20 minutes on https://coffeehouse.deno.dev/hn recommended by the developer in the comments, but also haven't found a match yet.

Update: No match yet, after another 30-minute session. I opened the wait room for the original submitted link and left the tab open for 30 more minutes in the background (2:48 pm ET to 3:18 pm ET), with unmuted headphones on.
my experience is that users love personalization, but not necessarily "settings". if they have to change a setting to get the functionality they need out of your app, they're going to be frustrated. even if that functionality is one-off weird stuff that makes no sense to be enabled by default.

as long as the app does what they want out of the box, they love unnecessary stuff like setting a custom background image or theme color.
Good lord. Is there a reason it's like that, or is it simply extremely poorly-made? That looks like a not-very-good machine learning algorithm tried to make a font variant.
Yes. Very few (no?) primality tests require knowing or learning all primes up to the number being tested. Even trial division (the most simplistic test), you can stop looking for potential divisors once you pass sqrt(n), you learn nothing about most numbers up to n.
Feels safe return in this crazy environment.

Why? It's not a security. It's not in any way guaranteed. Or even regulated.

Various state regulators are starting to look into these companies - and you may want to look into why.
Being ephemeral is both a bug and a feature, though.

Take a random Discord server, where we try to figure out some details of a DAO in the making. People from other timezones have to hop in and out and are welcomed by a wall of text when they come back.

So did the issue from yesterday get resolved already since you were gone? Maybe, but if so, how did that agreement come to fruition? And which part of the above wall of text do we "mark as resolved"?

What part to keep, what to formalize as a rule, etc. Those who were "in the room" when the discussion happened now have to find a way to re-tell the story in another ritual (meeting, weekly summary, task, whatnot). Sounds like the work of an editor or journalist to me.

But most people would rather add onto, instead of editing or removing only [1]. Like with maintaining legacy software or editing existing wikipedia entries, most prefer to instead just "add some more".

But even more important, some people tend to disregard even scientifically proven advice and prefer living through things themselves, no matter how redundant the experience.

It’s not really a difference because you can destroy money in the conventional banking system eg by burning paper money. And it’s extremely important if the defense you’re giving I’d wrong, which it is, if that defense is “humans can come in and correct obviously unreasonable things”.

In both conventional banking and crypto, yes, there are situations of “sorry, you’re fucked, but like, you’re just supposed to know not to do that” (where “that” is send wires you’re not 100% sure of or guard your physical cash carefully).

No offense, but you really seem to be drawing the abstraction boundaries poorly here.
According to GH Status (https://www.githubstatus.com/), everything is fine. Gotta love functional status pages.

edit: Nevermind, they just reported "degraded performance" for GitHub Actions, Issues, and Pull Requests.
It helps to reframe your thoughts on accessibility as a subset of user experience (UX). Putting aside any potential moral argument, how important is UX to your business/project?

When accessibility is thought about and incorporated ahead of time, your overall user experience tends to be better. This is sometimes referred to as Universal Design.

I managed a project where we implemented a UI redesign for our existing enterprise SaaS software and we "went the extra mile" to not just make the experience accessible but to make that experience pleasant for our users with disabilities. In the end, some of the features -- especially around keyboard navigation -- that came out of that accessibility work were considered the best part of the redesign to our users.
But in both cases, designed for narrow, columnar text.
Probably still underpaying then, aren’t you?

And giving everyone raises after a record year of inflation isn’t exactly a headline statement. It’s more like - “our workers would have made less this year than last year if we hadn’t given them raises… and probably would’ve quit. So, we had to give them raises.”
You are absolutely right that we should pursue more freedom in signing the contracts and this is exactly what such regulation is supposed to do: a contract with the vendor must not block signing the contracts with other suppliers and repair shops. It creates more freedom by being more explicit about what is a valid contract.
Well I consciously notice that Knives Out is a pretty good movie, so I think the conversation of what we subconsciously notice or not in this case is pretty silly.
"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names."

And you can't presume that a majority of people were able to find it rather than just giving up.
Seems like the industry is headed in that direction.

Nobody denying that
Looks down to me :(
I've a 2013 Dodge Charger that has adaptive cruise control (ACC) & forward collision warning (FCW), but no automatic breaking except when using the ACC.

I've never had any phantom breaking when on the ACC, but I also hardly use it (I can't even remember last time I turned it on). I do, however, get "phantom" warnings from the FCW. I use quotes because, to me, the false positives are understandable. They used to happen all the time approaching my old house, where there was an S-turn with a guard rail. There were times that yes, you are driving straight towards the guard rail and the FCW would warn on that, because it doesn't account for the road turning. It's a dumb smart feature; doesn't even have lane assist. For me, it's fine. I know the road ahead. I see the curve. The system doesn't. But, because it doesn't slam on the brakes for me, it's just annoying and not a safety issue to me. If the exact same FCW was capable of breaking for me all the time, yeah, I'd have issues with it and would likely have lodged complaints with Dodge & the NHTSB.
