> If you think it's any more difficult for an AI to crank out something in the style of Dali than Bob Ross, you aren't paying attention.

I don't think you understood what I said. Of course it can copy Dali now. Dali is old hat. Stale. I'm talking about someone with the artistic ambitions of Dali - except today. Someone who hasn't found their unique artistic voice yet.

As for the rest of your comment, it just seems like you haven't been paying attention to any artistic communities because your claim is basically like saying "there is no inflation" just because you don't really notice it.

I may be focusing too much on "originality", but the overall assessment is accurate: modern art is not nearly as inspiring as people would like it to be. Whatever inspiration means to you, I can't exactly say.

For some glimpses into the status quo of Western art:

I've been using Manjaro for quite awhile and have yet to have an issue with a broken update. YMMV I guess.
Really? That sounds like the worst of both worlds to me; you still have to look at the screen to see what you're selecting, but you also can't just click the thing you want directly.
All new projects I was involved in over the past three years or more were in Swift. I would say it is considered in bad form to start a new project in anything other than Swift.

Further, I saw many legacy projects move from Objective-C to Swift (Podcasts comes to mind). (Some legacy Objective-C apps like iTunesU, sadly, were "sunsetted".)

Until recently, I believe there were issues with frameworks written natively in Swift so I saw a few smaller frameworks thrown together in Objective-C. I believe that, whatever the issues were, are no longer pertinent.

I can say too that there are many engineers that don't even know how to code in Objective-C. The younger engineers learned on Swift and are even hostile to writing in Objective-C (ha ha).

Of course Apple is a big company and I can't speak for the whole of engineering - only the teams/orgs I was involved with. And since I left Apple last year I can only guess at the current state. But the direction was clearly away from Objective-C.

As you can imagine, the biggest hurdle to 100% adoption is going to be bringing over legacy projects. Porting to Swift will probably always take a back seat to features, bug fixes. If the pace at Apple were more leisurely, not a suite of new OS releases every year, perhaps we could have our cake and eat it.
I get it, but how much more crap must you pack into the interface of a car, to the point where you can't decide ahead of time, like with all of the other physical components? This is lazy design and the results are terrible. Is this really what people want, or what the car design echo chamber believes people must want, because Tesla is somewhat successful with it?
They have a lot of cash, but SBF theoretically could close shop and cash out if he feels the amount of money he will be able to donate will be down for the longterm. The entire point of FTX, ultimately, is to take money from crypto traders and put it into Effective Altruism charities.
My town pays for sewer (which I don't have) and water (which I do) out of property taxes, assessments, and a quarterly water bill. I pay Comcast for my own Internet and I pay for private trash. Property taxes also pay for education (a big chunk), snow plowing, police/fire/library, etc. There's some money to roads but, yes, that's mostly from the state and gas taxes which residents also pay of course. So it's not like cities are picking up the whole bill; while they have more people paying taxes, a lot of costs are much higher as well.
The obvious solution is to use a touchscreen with cheap plastic buttons that sit on the touchscreen and emulate touch.
> Ultimately, retrofitting the suburbs is the great challenge of the 21st century. We need more walkability and density in their cores. Basically, we need to bring back streetcar suburbs (which is what my town is, and after going through decades of losing density, it has been transformed).

> And then cities need to become better designed for more people, especially people with families and retirees.

Ultimately, it all boils down to work. Walkability is great, being able to bike is great, but if you don't have industry in your walkable suburb, it's just there and nice and everyone still has to drive or take a train to work in the city. As long as work centralizes in cities, we will have problems like this.
There is often an indicator on the gauge itself. The spout or an arrow will point to the side of the gas cap.
It's too bad kin-selection causes so many problems. It's also too bad we're stuck with it.
I wish the Model 3 had more physical buttons. Some of the important stuff requires reaching and looking. Man, even the odometer requires turning your head down and to the side to view.

I knew touchscreens were a nightmare path we were going down when I had the Sidekick phone and I was typing without looking at a very rapid clip, while the iPhone had come out and typing on a shitty feel-less keyboard became the latest fashion.

And here we are. I hit backspace probably 15 times typing this (and that's with word prediction). Not on an iPhone though.
When I'm sitting at a light I'd prefer a large and easy to navigate interface to change what playlist I'm in or maybe change to the podcast app or something along those lines instead of a clickwheel. There's a reason why I don't have the MacBook Wheel.

When I'm sitting at a stop light and want to change the music, I prefer a big touchscreen versus a single-row seven segment display, several knobs, and a bunch of dials.

When I'm wanting to quickly type an address I prefer a QUERTY keyboard on a touchscreen than a list of letters alphabetically and a wheel to scroll and select them.
> Currency used to be backed by gold, and now it's backed by real estate

No it isn't. Mortgages are not the only kind of fractional reserve banking. The currency is also fiat, its backed by the market's belief in the strength of the US government and economy. Gold back currencies also had pricing shocks, inflation/deflation and a myriad of other weird issues.

You're parroting the least informed version of Austrian Economics.
A lot of modern cars can be told to tie the presets to the key fob (it's a setting, not usually turned on by default).

If you open the driver's door with your key fob in your pocket, your presets are loaded and the seats and mirrors move to what you want. If your spouse opens the driver's door with their key fob, everything changes to their settings. If you have more than 2 drivers, you can buy extra key fobs at the dealer (expensive!!) and the car will keep track of settings for those too.

It's not just luxury cars that do this ;)
The solution to that is simple. Put four/five physical buttons down each side of the screen, maybe along the bottom too, and then you can make everything still programmable in software. I have no idea why you absolutely need to put buttons in the middle of the screen to be touched. It's one thing to put items or whatever that can be selected, or allow pinch/zoom, but in reality almost all interaction just boils down to picking between a limited set of options at any given time.

With a decent response time and hierarchical menus, it's easy to make a system that is navigable without looking. Throw in some (hopefully non-annoying) audio feedback, and it is extremely accessible--even by a blind passenger! In fact, that's a good benchmark. If a blind passenger could operate the thing, then the driver should be able to as well.
My 2 cents: There are thousands of projects trapped into formatting hell because nobody wants to touch git history. We need a standard to fix formatting programming without messing up history.
Using prophet to predict gyms capacity, [GitHub]
This is the case for me. I _know_ that my ISP is untrustworthy, I've read the ToS.It's also bundled with my apartment and I can't switch.

What I can switch however is what VPS company I use, or what commercial VPN I connect to.

Plus, the harm from being banned by a VPN is a lot lower than an ISP, as low as the chances of either are.
Show HN: Search engine for finding the best of anything
Bestlist is a search engine that is focused solely on helping users discover the best of anything.

All of our results are non-biased, non-paid, and are dynamically generated via our search algorithm. It’s not perfect, but we’re working extremely hard and are determined to make it ubiquitous in the lives of the everyday internet user.

Other Features

Voting
If you’re feeling strongly about a search results, you can up or downvote the listing to voice your opinion. When you vote, you’ll be asked to state why you voted. This gives other users better insights into the listing.

Collections
With collections you can easily save and keep track of all of your favorite listings. Collections can be public or made private, and they’re easily edited, reordered, and shared.

Submissions
If you find that we’re missing a result for a particular query, you can easily submit it as a suggestion. We’ll review it, and publish it if it makes the cut.

Current Limitations
•It’s currently English only.
•We don’t handle searches that start with “Best way..” or “Best settings ..” or “Best route..” very well.
•Also, searches for professionals (doctors, etc,) and recipes have issues.

I’m sure there are a lot more we’re missing.

I'd love for you to try and it and let us know what you think.

Thank you,
Tyler
Uno CTO here - We're always chasing performance issues in WebAssembly and I'm curious, are you still seeing the 5 second delay when the app has been loaded once and refreshing? We know that mobile browsers are not particularly efficient with Wasm on mobile devices (particularly iOS), but you may be in a different scenario and/or device.
I'm Indian, but if they claim Indian food smells, you could ask them to write down in the contract that you will bear the damage caused by the smell sticking onto the surfaces it interacts with, either by replacing/repairing what's damaged or paying for the replacements/repairs which could be included in the caution deposit. Another reassurance would be to write in the contract that the house owner can legally enter the property to check/inspect for any damages to re-assure and charge for any damages.

The problem with these clauses is that people can exploit you.
Never use pip freeze.

Instead, install pip-tools[0] then use the pip-compile command.

Why?

pip freeze will also pin dependencies of your dependencies, which makes your requirements.txt hard to read and extend.

Never manually create requirements.txt either because a programmer's job is to automate boring tasks like dependency pinning.

For use cases where you don't want to look away from the main task you're performing, it's definitely better than a regular touchscreen.

You don't have to aim your finger at anything, you just have to scroll and check whether you're there, yet.

And you'll start remembering how many notches you have to scroll to reach the functions you need, becoming less dependent on the screen at all.

The difficulty is in balancing the number and arrangement of submenus and the buttons/menu entries triggering whatever function, although the same issue exists with regular touchscreens.
Cool - you’ve just created a black market for an AI that generates imperceptibly good images without such information embedded, and killed open-source AI because open-source AI can always be edited to remove the info.

But seriously - how would your system work with any open-source AI, or leaked proprietary AI? It wouldn't. The best you could do is sue someone and claim they had an unlabelled AI image, and hire an expert to try to make a case to rebut against their expert. It just falls apart and the legal system probably isn't interested in figuring out by minor artifacts whether that is AI or just compression, distortion, a bad photoshop job, a prank, etc. This is especially important as AI gets more imperceptible in the future. If I take an AI generated face, and shrink it by 50%, all artifacts are plausibly compression, not that the AI had bad hair edge generation, so you can't prove I had an AI. Too many loopholes.

A proper response would be, I argue, simply basing the penalties on the harm caused. Doesn't matter whether the image was made by Photoshop, AI, or an experienced photographer with camera tricks, the harm is the cost.

Edit: I keep adding more reasons, but here's another. This proposal would basically ban remixing AI images because embedding it inside another Photoshopped image, putting your face in the AI photo, resizing it, so forth might mess with the watermark. And naturally, any software capable of preserving the watermark could be easily altered to remove it, and many of these watermarks work solely by their secretive design, so good luck seeing the algorithms ever in your open-source package. Practically banning remixing of different types of photos in open-source software is a terrible idea.
Imagine if Xerox allocated its budget to 90% PARC, and 10% everything else - without adjusting any staffing. There'd be some really cool, really fun stuff going on, and the people at PARC would love it. But without people making and selling copiers, the whole company would be out of business before long.

The difference with suburbs/cities is the awareness, the expectation, and societal cost.

People living in the suburbs are generally unaware that they're being subsidized by the cities they live adjacent to, and have the expectation that their infrastructure and services be prioritized - generally to the detriment of the entire geographic region.

Going beyond that, the car-centric suburbia mindset has become the legal defacto design pattern, increasing costs and reducing livability for everyone.

So it's less that they should "pay-out" for themselves, and more that they should stop forcing their lifestyle choices on the rest of the population, and understand the costs associated with their lifestyle.

Not sure, is there a list of "net contributor" states? And I suspect those look at federal budgets only, and ignore the other methods of "contributing".
That’s funny because I feel like my day became cleaning up those kinds of projects as their countless dependencies rot.

It feels anything but productive.
Ask HN: What is the proper way to become an good hacker/programmer?
A Hacker according to me is someone who is confident enough in their skill as an engineer (mostly computer engineer/programmer) and not someone shady as the movies depict.

Basically, it is someone for whom implementation of some solution using a programming language and a computer has become second nature, so that, they can concentrate on the domain knowledge of the problem. Like a carpenter concentrates on the design he is going to carve out of a block of wood rather than worrying about how to hold the chisel and hammer.

What is the proper way to achieve that kind of skill?

Are there any must read topics/subjects?
My expectation: Just like Open Office Floorplans, this common sense backed by science will be happily ignored because it's not sexy.
That is a California specific phenomenon due to various caps they put at state level on the rate at which property taxes can be increased
Yes but you don't expect me to listen to YouTube while I'm driving do you? How am I supposed to watch TikTok on the highway without a touchscreen?
Sometimes it's painfully obvious who is giving their idealistic opinion and who is speaking from personal experience.
They should have tested opening the glovebox while driving too.

TBH, the test should have been more real world:
- Turn off the heated seat (this is more likely than turning it on... most turn it on when getting in and turn it off later)
- Turn on the wipers when rain starts
- Use the washer fluid
- Turn on the headlights when it gets dark
- Change the navigation destination
- Change the climate temperature
- Change the vent direction

The results would have likely been more ambiguous for a car like the Tesla. Heated seats can be automated, so that would depend on whether the person liked the Tesla algorithm. Wipers and headlights are likely automated in the touchscreen car too. Voice works pretty well in some for navigation selection, and probably doesn't work well in the non-touchscreen cars.

OTOH, Tesla would do really poorly at climate temperature changes and vent direction. I suspect some other cars would fare badly at those too, but probably Tesla is uniqely bad at vent direction.
No, the problem is that a car interface isn't supposed to reconfigure itself. You're supposed to be able to learn to use it blindly.

Designers need to be able to make decisions and stick to them. If they can't do that, it means they suck at their job.
The page literally addresses this:

> We thank all the distribution package maintainers for backporting patches that improve security, fix bugs, etc. who coordinate with upstream. Often times this means creating or pulling patches to fix issues with inactive/abandoned/unresponsive upstream projects. These distribution package maintainers are doing a tremendous job and their work is not the subject of this letter.

> This letter wants to address the cases where actively-developed features, huge changes, etc. of active upstream projects are being included without the knowledge of the project maintainers or end users.
I'm currently interviewing at a battery startup.

Considering the current policies it seems like those companies should remain well funded for foreseeable future.
IMO, the solution to voluntarily increasing density are larger apartments and strictly-enforced soundproofing requirements in the building code.
Thanks for sharing! Do you use regular widgets, or QML? Any tricks to get good graphics performance?

And would you mind sharing your reasoning behind deciding for Qt?
>Suburbs survive by proximity to density and, in most cases, pay no taxes to support that density

Why should they pay to support that density?
AI won't be designed to serve the users recommendations, but what is in the best interest of the person designing the AI. There was a pretty good article on HN about this, yesterday I think, that covered this well.

This is the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32482523

and it's well worth reading the article.

TL:DR; AI is good at something, but don't expect it to be aligned with what the user wants.
A basic Bluetooth interface to the car amplifier and microphone, a sturdy tablet stand that takes multiple sizes... And that's it - cheap and future proofed.

... But no way to keep the commercial relationship going after the sale - huge downside, for the manufacturer !
I looked at a 2GW nuclear facility, and it's about 1 square Km. The reactors aren't too big, but there a lot of auxiliary buildings as well as parking for many employees. I know one building is a training facility that replicates much of the primary facilities, and there is a lot of space dedicated to security either with actual structures or buffer zones. There are also PR/education facilities on site, presumably so the local municipality doesn't eventually vote them out. Somewhere they store fissile material.

It's also on the coast for access to coolant water.

It seems very difficult to place huge facilities like this with all the staff and security requirements on waterfront property when you can stick a solar panel on or next to just about anything.
I don't know that it's that simple. The point that Australia's defamation laws probably allow for overreach is hard to argue against, but at the same time, I don't think we should give companies free rein. Search engine companies undeniably influence what they present; in some cases, through manual interference. How much would they have to interfere before they could be considered a publisher? Arguably, there should be some system of legal accountability here, but the law is behind the times, as it always is (especially in Australia)
+1 to this. I came to ask the same questions.
There is a lot of interesting work on program as non-text/model at Unison:

https://www.unison-lang.org/learn/the-big-idea/#richer-codeb...

Until these ideas go into mainstream, treesitter has resulted in some interesting improvements to e.g Neovim. I use it extensively for AST based selection/navigation and along with conceal I can hide/transform a lot of noise characters in text source code.
Nice! What is the long term goal with numpad?
Best practices aren't always adhered to everywhere 100% of the time. And a lot of the time, stuff still works.

Edit: many places don't have perfect simulation setups, test infrastructure, etc. Sometimes you just have to test on a real product.
Physical buttons will be definitely one of the more important criteria when buying a new car.
This is a very good startup opportunity in this. If anyone can solve this, they can capture a decent market for global workers.
> Massive power consumption.. ?

Yes. All reviews I looked up complained about battery life. Some cited figures of 1-2 hours when playing demanding games. Is that wrong?

I assumed it had higher power consumption than the Apple M1 computers since they have a reputation for insane battety life. Not sure exactly how many watts they draw.

> I'd call it borderline unusable for that unless you use a physical keyboard with it

Well, I've written code using my phone... Can't be worse than that, can it?
I heartily recommend this book, on this subject.

https://www.amazon.com/Programmers-Brain-every-programmer-co...
Again, not an example. I live in the SE - and see very little overt racism. So I'm genuinely asking for examples of what I'm missing.
You mean like gift cards are used in the same manner?
Video Game Guides Writers Help Keep the Lights on but Get No Respect
I've thought about this issue so very many times, and I feel that until someone creates a system capable of understanding the underlying purpose of the code, we will not be able to automate this stuff away. I think the issue is that all of the things the author wants a breakthrough for is exactly what makes programming hard. We don't have systems intelligent enough to reason about a contract between two systems so as to create a general-purpose solution for things like glue code. The subtle differences that are there and that require us to do this work over and over again with small variations are precisely why programming requires intelligence.
