Creativity, brain, and art: biological and neurological considerations (2014)
I think there is a lot of potential for creativity in the terminal space, and warp has some cool ideas. I'd honestly even be willing to pay directly for a terminal if it went above and beyond in terms of efficiency and functionality. Unfortunately I cannot try warp, as I don't have an osx machine. I understand that cross platform (in particular Linux ports) is a challenge, and I usually don't expect that from consumer products or open source projects. But a VC backed product made specifically for developers should have a Linux port imo, especially if your business model is to impress developers and get them to convert their teams.

Publishing in particular, instead of the more general print, means creating for mass publication workflows usually involving a press. This usually involves pre-print, different outputs options (including spot colors, separate plates for four-color CMYK printing, registration, and color profiles to match or limit display colors to inks), and printing with bleed for trimming. Many of these tools also provide advanced options for typesetting, like wrapping text around images or shapes with specific hyphenation rules, or aligning text on a baseline grid for consistency across pages.

Other tools that can print don't often offer all of these features, or if they do they don't provide as much control over them.
> One thing that Affinity and PhotoLine can do that PS can't is make curves adjustments in the Lab color space without having to change the entire document from RGB to Lab.

Yeah, this is super-useful. Also the layer blend curves are amazingly useful, particularly combined with live filter layers. And it can do LUT inference (e.g. from HALD CLUT images). I use that all the time.

> To be fair to GIMP, I used PS back to when adjustment layers were not a thing.

So did I, but GIMP has existed for almost as long as adjustment layers in PS! And for all that time they've refused to prioritise something that IMO is transformative in photoshop; it's the basis of non-destructive editing.
Finamp is missing a few features, but it's a work in progress so I can forgive it. Planning on making a couple of PRs myself, for things like fixing the reverse sort order of album view and implementing other views offline.

Oh, and for some reason local storage deletion doesn't work for me on iOS -- need to investigate that. But if you want to listen to music that's stored on Jellyfin and store some for offline use, it's great so far. Just needs some small stuff built out!
I've got about a dozen (yeah, I know, not a lot) anime series on my Jellyfin, and also prefer subs in nearly all cases. I've had a problem with them. But, if someone's got something that's already working, they should probably just stick with that.
If BK isn't going to fix the problem with their app, you're probably out of luck.

Hey, thanks for the kind words!

The terminal is totally free for individuals. Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features.

The general philosophy is that we would never charge for anything a terminal currently does. So no paywalls around SSH or anything like that. The types of features we could eventually charge for are things that have a cost to us, for example enabling real-time terminal collaboration. Even those will likely be free up to some level of usage and only charged in a company context.

That’s why you use platform that already solved IP address and other client fingerprinting. If you are really paranoid - you setup alert policies when users are exfiltrating suspicious amount of info.
I’m glad people enjoy it but man when you don’t enjoy it, it’s just flat out annoying.
There are a few reasons:

1.) When a user reports an issue to us, it is much easier to find any issues in our error reporting stack. if we have their name and email address attached to the issue as opposed to asking them for all the search terms, time of issue, etc. and then hunting through to see if we've already found (and hopefully fixed) the issue. This practice started when we were a paid subscription, and I've found it useful to continue, especially with a very small team supporting a set of highly asynchronous interactions with scripts running across multiple websites and pushing data back to a common source.

2.) There are contractual requirements for some of the data that we've purchased to be protected from copies of those databases being made. Placing it behind an auth wall and leveraging account based rate limiting for API endpoints met our partners' needs.
Plex doesn't allow system admins to remove them for all users - each user has to do it themselves. The intention behind the decision is pretty obvious and soured me considerably on Plex.
this could have made a very sad & timely 3rd Law of Robotics April Fools topic.
I agree, there are users that don't use customization for X but they use it for Y, so you get the idiotic philosophy that removes customization from X and Y.
So you get GNOME fanboys that love that 10 features they personally don't use are removed but when the ones they use is removed their brain finally realize that not all people use the exact same options, the exact same workflows etc.

What is even more shitty is when soem feature is removed like the System Tray and first they pretend they do not understand what you mean when you say this feature is very important, then after someone wastes his time to explain a n=th time again how working people use the System Tray features at work or at home the GNOME dude finally admits the issue and offers some workarounds that are not equivalent but are "possible to do but with lot more work".

On short, some people do work on the computer, some people use search engines for work to find relevant stuff, this people do not ask features like "please use the exact same padding everywhere because I am OCD" or "please make those buttons/corners or edges smoother so I don't cut my tongue when I lick my screen", this people want the customization to do a task.

I am not sure why simple people have a SEGFAULT if they randomly end up in the Advanced section of a settings section, what do they expect when they open Advanced? Google main page has a small link for Advanced search see

Yea I always just put in the question I want into DDG and then just add reddit in the end. It's so much better than any blog or anything because at least it gives the semblance of real users giving their opinion.
It's really good in some ways, and very lacking (for me) in others. The search is fine. Good enough that I would switch. However, if I was out and about and quickly needed directions to Walmart, my normal flow with Google is

Pull out phone -> Safari -> type "Walmart" -> click on the map -> Maps app opens and starts guiding me

When I switched to Kagi, the flow went like

Pull out phone -> Safari -> type "Walmart" -> top result is Walmart.com... no address to nearest Walmart to be found -> Close Safari -> Open Maps app -> search for Walmart

And it got so annoying to have those extra steps. I know I can change my workflow and get used to it. But it wasn't just directions. It was other basic searches. Like if I needed a phone number for a local business. It drove me crazy. I really hope Kagi gets better at those sort of things. I want them to succeed. But it was just too much friction for me.
SGI also offered x86 based machines, of all things running NT or WIN 2K. That was when the writing really was on the wall.
> This may be true, but how many people in those church groups, meetup groups, etc are actually concerned about censorship?

Many, in my experience. To the point that I get sick of hearing about it, and I'm not an alt-right Q-anon type or anywhere near it.

No. Because these are now the "large companies" equivalent to IBM or any other mega-corporation. They haven't been "agile startups" in 1-2 decades so their employees aren't suited for anything but "large corporation" work. The majority of FAANG employees have NEVER experience a work environment that is akin to small startups and so they mostly are ill-suited to it.

There will always be exceptions but the demographics are no better than the general public: if there's 1% in the general population are suitable for startups, then only 1% of FAANG employees are suitable for startups.

I'd never assume anything just because they worked for a FAANG.

BTW I worked at HP and honestly most HP alums I know who were "lifers" would be no more suitable. Only if they were in certain roles and changed jobs fairly often would it be likely they'd be able to handle it.
I worked there from 2008 to 2015. The trajectory of the word "Googley" was telling; it went from an occasional tongue-in-cheek reference, to an everyday word used literally and unironically to describe anything that was good or desirable (in the subjective opinion of the speaker, of course).

Toward the end of my time at Google, most uses of the word turned me off, and in particular the lack of self-awareness around how it was used was a pretty appalling kool-aid indicator.
I really depends on the species of yak. Shave your matted, smelly yak? No thank you! But my silky black yak, absolutely!

Nitpicking here.. but the title and article are presumptuous are out-of-touch in 2022. Google is primarily an advertising company. Gmail, YouTube, Android, Mobile Apps, Google Home, Maps, devices, Search App all synergistically funnel users towards advertisers. G-Cloud and G-Pay may be among the few exceptions to that but also constitute Google. Point being: you cannot be the Next Google by building a better search engine, just like you can't be the Next Microsoft by building an email system better than Outlook or a desktop OS better than Windows.

True liberation is non-attachment. By attaching yourself to doing something that you love, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Is this really what I love? Is my solution actually helping anyone? Will I have to make compromises to better monetize my solution? I've been working on this project for a year and don't feel like I've made a meaningful innovation.

Some people go down this path and everything works out well but not everyone.
For our detached house the price of a heatpump setup is about 40.000 euros. We decided to stick with gass for a while.
At some point a electrical heat unit would be better. Very inefficient, but with solar and batteries a lot cheaper than a heatpump. About 15.000 euros.
I was working at a startup that was developing an annotation pipeline for text and I thought a lot about what set of operators you'd use to do things like: modify the text with index-controlled labels and keep the labels aligned, change the tokenization of labeled data (labeled per token) w/o having to re-label the data, etc.
Ok scrap that, you only indicate what services you have access to and this is only the search engine part, it will simply redirect you to the services app/site when you select play on something, it is not embedded.

Interesting. I use a single TB3 cable connected to my Caldigit TS3+ to connect:

- dual 4k60hz monitors
- keyboard
- mouse
- webcam
- microphone
- ethernet
- ... other miscellaneous things I'm forgetting

One cable, dock setup. I guess I don't understand how a dock would force you to use multiple cables, since that's what they're supposed to help prevent?
A paper was posted here a few days ago about how to use individual tasks on crowdsourcing marketplaces to put together articles on complex topics: https://joe.cat/images/papers/knowledge-accelorator.pdf

I can imagine the first two steps of their process working for a human-assisted search machine. Specifically, the "finding sources of information" and "filtering information" steps. But, I'd imagine the human workers would still need more complex / configurable search tools than Google (which is probably what the workers in the study used to find their sources).
I've used Scribus several times for album cover/booklet stuff. Worked really great, my biggest complaint is the inability to reduce transparencies. Almost all print shops expect you to deliver PDF 1.3, with reduced transparencies. That bit me hard on one of the projects, where I noticed this a bit late, and the last 24h before submission deadline were quite stressful :)

I prefer to spend my time shooting rather than fighting with a software.
>I never said it's easy. But it certainly is easier. Let's do a quantitative analysis then. Anyone with a pulse and let's say they fail out 75%. That's equivalent to a 25% pass rate. Then take a look at a selective school with a (in my case 20% failure rate and 10% acceptance). That's about 8% pass rate assuming anyone with a pulse applies (of course this is not the case, better performing students tend to apply).

>By that number alone you know how much harder it is in a selective school.

You really don't. All you proved was that 80% (or whatever) of those who the school selected would pass. You know nothing of what percent of those who they didn't select would pass. You can't possibly make the assertion it would be lower than 25% example you gave for the "anyone with a pulse school."

I don't doubt you probably went to a more rigorous, challenging, and renowned school than me. I don't doubt you are more intelligent than myself or many who did well at my school. The fallacy comes when you conflate entrance selectivity with difficulty.

> I passed top of my class and studied the night before in a non-selective school.

Can you help explain to me why you went from a top non-selective public school to a different top selective school? In my experience after the first couple years everyone but the cream was filtered out, so by junior year it was effectively like I was in a 'selective' school. Or are you comparing a lower tier non-selective engineering school to a top selective school? My point of reference here is one of the handful of non-selective top-10 schools.

>Many top engineering schools have certain programs that are ABET accredited, and many schools with ABET accredited programs are easy.

Agreed. Was just providing some baseline for roughly the curriculum that was covered. You're right that ABET on its own doesn't speak thoroughly to the program, which is why I used a variety of other qualifiers beyond ABET.
The market can trivially get stuck in a local maximum.
I used it before knowing about ConTeXt for things at uni, and it was glitchy but actually great. At one assignment, the teacher told us to create a typography test layout and he provided us a gazillion of fonts in a CD. Its Python scripting feature saved my ass - while others spent like 1.5-2 weeks doing that, I just needed a couple of hours.
I mean, ever since I've learned how ... not impossible all of this is, this has been a fun thought experiment to ponder.

All it'd take is one reasonably clever insane person, and the range of things that are possible is immense.

Ya this is what I was thinking as well, the unique thing is that making the tools and doing the work are the exact same process

Plus its just very easy to work on a tool, I don't need to go buy a bunch of materials or anything
MacOS is the perfect example: it's both easy to use and the preferred choice by many professionals.

"Hold on", you say, "professionals want options, like user-expandable RAM etc". No, that's the misconception about the concept of a "professional". Unless you are a hardware engineer, tinkering with your notebook's internals is the absolute opposite of professionalism, its either a completely misguided waste of time and money, or a perfectly fine hobby.

Real professionals get work done. Customizing their workspace is something they feel ashamed to do, because it's procrastination at best.
NLP generative models that you can interrogate with natural language prompts, and which generate coherent responses together with citations for sources, is definitely the future of search.

I don't know anything about AI or the relationship between market participation and innovation. All I know is that LLMs are a useful tool that is already displacing search in many parts of my life.
> So HN, what has your experience been with depression? Have you tried the drugs? What worked or didn't? Have you been able to triumph without chemical assistance and what did that look like? Is my utter terror of these drugs warranted or should I just bite the bullet and try them?

A lot of friends have ended up on prozac or other drugs, with profoundly hit or miss results.

I've struggled at times, but found that vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, decent amount of protein, and good sleep did a lot for me. Regular outside activities, even if just walks, or exercise also a lot for me.

Keep in mind I live in Western Canada, so my walks often happen in -30C weather.

Also just finding something that produces joy was big. Not fun, not cool -- joy. Making less money and doing more things that bring me joy made a big difference. Most of the people I know making "the big money" are miserable people.
>Please define "not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students"

This is of course the least clear part of the bill. I believe I saw one if the Florida representatives supporting this bill basically say the existing sex ed / health classes are fine and students should be in at least middle school.

Very few people are complaining about general sex ed.

>Additionally puberty generally starts in 2nd-3rd grade so these children aren't allowed to learn about themselves until after onset

I've seen conflicting numbers on the age of puberty. I think the youngest is 8 for girls and 9 for boys. If that is the case that would be 3rd grade. Would you be OK with a ban on K-2 on this then?

Just because a kid starts puberty does not mean they suddenly have sexual preferences. It takes time to grow so even if they start puberty at 8 they will take a while to understand.

Also, there have been some hypotheses regarding the declining age for puberty such as the increase in sexual content at a younger and younger age. I think the average age kids first see porn is now 10 or so. That means quite a few kids are seeing it earlier than that (and probably earlier than puberty). If that is the case then maybe we should try to lower the sexual content instead of increasing it.

Kids also aren't banned from learning about themselves. Not sure where you got that idea from? How would such a thing even be enforced?

>including potentially asking their teachers questions privately.

I am dubious this is banned. The law is explicitly says classroom instruction. Asking a teacher a question privately doesn't seem to fall under it.

Regardless, I don't think English or math teachers or whatever subject should be teaching sex related things. If it is going to be be taught in schools it should be taught by a health teacher. Maybe we should be advocating for health classes in elementary school instead of middle school.

I can see how that was your view if you came in on the tail end but it definitely wasn't always so. I've owned quite a few of them and if you had the workload they delivered - at a price. But for what they could do they would be 3 to 4 years ahead of the curve for a long time, and then in the space of a few short years it all went to pieces. Between NVIDIA and the incredible clock speed improvements on the x86 SGI was pretty much a walking zombie that did not manage to change course fast enough. But CPU, graphics pipeline, machine and software to go with it is an expensive game to play if the number of units is smaller than any of your competitors that have specialized.

I'm grateful they had their day, fondly remember IRIX and have gotten many productive years out of SGI hardware, my career would definitely not have taken off the way it did without them, in fact the whole 'webcam/camarades.com/ww.com' saga would have never happened if the SGI Indy did not ship with a camera out of the box.
