On the flip side, you could say they are common enough that they should be on the home row (accessed by a thumb-activate layer switch, of course).
Laying the blame for programmers writing crappy software at the feet of the mythical "idiot" user who could never comprehend a "better" system is one of the core problems why computers today suck as much as they do.

While it is certainly true that many users don't share the enthusiasm for computers many of us have and they may often also be quite unwilling to learn complex systems for small productivity boosts, it is by no means true that they are all just to dumb to be empowered by computers. They do mostly lack the frame of reference what could even be possible with these machines (As do many programmers today) and thus seldom address the big issues they face.

Application starting up slow? They all do that and there are some even slower, so computers are just slow, right? Having to click through 15 Menus to activate an often used function? Nobody ever told them there was a convenient shortcut (And since they don't know it and thus never use it, it will get removed in the next version, hooray for telemetry!)

This also extends to programmers more and more. Processing 2000 Records takes 20 seconds? That's good! Have you seen this other app! We are fast!
That UI is crap! No matter, I will never use it, lets install complexopensourcetoolnotfornoobs.

One difference the article also points out is that in the early days of computing, many of these today revered (or sadly forgotten) hackers actually wanted to bring computing power to the masses. They were not satisfied with dumbing it down or building it only for themselves. We need more of this sentiment today. If every developer would use the software they build, it surely would be much more performant, easier to use and powerful under the hood.

While it may seem impossible sometimes to get all these at once, we should always strive for better computing and ease of use != dumbing down!
What is the proper way to utilize: Ctrl, Alt, Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift, Alt+Ctrl?
I am sure that exit by Ctrl-Q in Firefox is wrong because it is too easy to quit.
Any guides on this?

The USSR had 300k troops and 5000 tanks sitting in the DDR. Your take is extremely ahistorical.
If you're looking for a GUI for most of these on Linux, you can use Trimage[1] which I created a long long time ago, but it still works. It runs images through a bunch of optimizers, but only compresses losslessly.

Better yet, tell your boss (and everyone else) you check for texts twice a day, and emails once a day, and respond with similar timeframes. If it's urgent, well, they know where you are. They can come and see you.

They'll whinge at you for living in the 20th Century, but your stress levels will be down.

Embrace the fact that no-one is irreplaceable, and train your understudies.
Well that would at least explain why it's so hard to find actually good games after you've worked through the usual contenders.

I've been feeling for a while now that Nintendo's e-shop has all the issues w.r.t. overpriced, sub-par games steam has, but without all the useful filtering possibilities and community moderation.

OTOH at least that also means that indies have less trouble making it to the console now.

If you or a loved one has potentially urgent healthcare issues - then a cruise is not sensible.
I've had relatives who have had to cancel in the past because of this - travel insurance is a good investment (and there's a reason it gets more expensive the older / sicker you get...)

My general point here is, something, anything, urgent has come up. What're you gonna do? Swim to shore? I can think of the convenience of forgetting to pay a bill and then doing it online - in which case it's up to you to figure if whatever internet fee you pay would save you on potential late fees.
It's clear that the next frontier is to have 3D-space instead of image space transitions. Language itself is very static and action verbs are not enough to specify scene dynamics. I suppose we would need:
A. an enriched version of natural language that refines the dynamic processes that occur in a scene
B. a data set of isolated processes labeled in the language described in A.

I've had a hard time finding ongoing work on A. and B, perhaps it isn't much of a priority for research groups.
I know it's a joke, but the point of glossy displays isn't being glossy. It's that they let more light through without distortion, which means more brightness and better color accuracy.

The matte layer already damages the light. A glossy film can only make things worse.
It’s like that old b(if)tek song. Humans can do the repetitive labour so the machines can do the creative work.
I think the discussion about artists is premature, but the power of releasing something for free cannot be underestimated, again
If you look at their EBITDA and EPS and compare with their growth, future is not looking all to bright. They either are going to have to massively cut expenses (thereby potentially losing their R&D advantage), increase their conversions/sales or greatly raise their prices. Not saying that it's not possible, but it's a high risk bet to be fair. Nevertheless, a stock with a great upwards potential if they execute rightly. But that's a big if.
>In what world is “Heavy + slow” a nefarious practice?

In M$ world and Apple's world( XCode). 2022's version was the first one to do a 64-bit release and became news titled - "awesome!", "Woah!", "amazing!", etc. [0]

VStudio had nothing unique to it that the Rider din't have, but corporates and developers loved it because they could compensate by throwing some costly hardware and I must point out that it is usually from Intel that M$ is in monopoly in consumer and enterprise market. Apple is just the same, but it gets away being close to the *nix world.

"performance improvements and bug smashes" are just fodder for despair that masquerades as hope, which could have been done away with long ago. Users report them and even showed what exactly could be done down to bits and bytes, but these thigs sleep there for a decade. All you need to do is create a developer account and search "for 10 years" or "since a decade" in their forums. Frustrations pour out and in galore.

You've probably been born after the Cold War, but just to put things into perspective, the Soviet Union had half a million troops and dozens of tank divisions already stationed in East Germany, they wouldn't have to fight their way through Poland. And it probably wasn't all that different in the other countries along the Iron Curtain.
No to contrast ratio and color depth.

Contrast: The electron gun can turn off (OLEDs as well btw), LCDs will always bleed some backlight (although they have region dimming now).

Color depth: only limited by GPU's RAMDAC, 10 bits were available in some Matrox cards.
I think this title should be de-editorialized. The actual article’s title accurately reflects the situation even if accurately reflecting the situation is controversial.
Very cool! I generated this with 1000 images https://twitter.com/UnshushProject/status/156315821457709465... using the Deforum's Colab[1], it's really easy and now has interpolation too. It was the very first video, I could have made something great but, you know, awesome guys keep releasing AI tech and I'm like a child at Luna Park right now, not able to concentrate.

If you are interested in my project (I doubt, you are too busy playing like me) I'm posting a lot of things on https://unshush.com and on the Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/unshushproject/

It's not that they did too little. On the contrary, it's that they did too much. They got everything they wanted, including "shock therapy" neoliberalism, Yeltsin as president (unhobbled by parliamentary constraints after the 1993 shelling of the Duma, which Clinton personally praised), and a continued enemy for budgetary purposes.
So you also wouldn't expect to be paid when a company has less work than it has employees during a week ?
Eru has a decent HN reputation, so I'll engage.

First, the private sector is not handling this well.

Second, we are talking about core infrastructure of society. The question of what is best to solve this, business or government, is indeed complex.

Business tends to work well when the value created is short-term and can be easily measured and captured by the entity creating that value. For example, a grocery store.

Government tends to work well when the value created is long-term and diffuse, and doesn't have a single point of capture. For example, the road network which the grocery store relies on to get both its goods and its clients to the store.

A nation-wide payments system seems to me to fall clearly into the second category.

Note that eru is from Singapore, truly a great country where the government has many examples of striking a good balance along the above lines. It isn't perfect, but it is one of the best in the world.
I have plenty of uses:

Keyboard layout:

my whole keyboard layout used to be a remapping with AHK :)

not done by me though and the new implementation of the layout is something else (https://www.neo-layout.org/)

---

Complicated Shortcuts:

I still use it for generating and filling site specific mail addresses with a shortcut. My keyboard types "shortcut_site_specific_mailaddress" and ahk replaces it with news.ycombinator.com+is_allowed_to_pass_catch_all@mydomain.com.

For some time it was also the one tool that could dim my dell desktop screen by hotkeys with some shady dll someone provided.

Usability:

I also used it for alt+drag for a while (but now have a more native tool with exactly that name).

Capslock lights up if I am not in my native input language

Stress Relieve:

When mobile testing a lot in the emulator I got slight inflammation from clicking the mouse too much. If that happens I remap the left mouse key to the keyboard.
Same thing in Czechoslovakia, but ultimately the KGB, StB and the local communist party government decided they would not be able to win, only prolong it a little. IIRC from my history classes their projection was 'less than a year and with enormous human costs on both sides, and productivity going to zero due to the whole-population rebellion' - which leads me to the conclusion that they would need significant resources delivered from USSR. Wasn't it similar in DDR?

(A lot of the StB guys decided to simply take advantage of the coming economical transformation and subsequently stole a lot of corporations and other stuff from the general public)
I also use to spend a lot of time in there around the time the ban came in downing several pints of ‘man in a box’ at least once a week at a startup with a bit of a drinking culture.
The smoke definitely masked the other smells though, once it went away things weren’t great downstairs.

That sort of raises the question: What does Xcode Cloud run on?

You would assume macOS as the operating system, but is that manageable at that scale? Maybe it runs on Linux and cross-compiles? Apple do run their own data-centers, which I assume all run Linux. If there was some headless macOS version and data-center wide management framework for it, I suspect that we would have heard about it. If the Xcode Cloud runs on macOS, does that mean that Apple have some rack mounted servers based on the M1/M2 processors?

Crookes radiometers only work in a partial vacuum. The effect is way too weak to measure at 1atm.
What British and France interests were served when they agreed to sign an alliance with Poland and even went to war with Germany over it (eventually)? It's the same basically, except that this time, I hope, the alliance is more credible and Russia is not willing to test it.

There are plenty of economical and political reasons due to which is it beneficial to keep Latvia and by extension the entirety of Eastern Europe outside of direct or indirect Russian control.

Ukraine is a pretty good example of a country which was mostly ignored both by NATO and the EU so as not to antagonize Russia. It remained a failed state until 2014 and I assume we all know what happened afterwards.
Ultimately software engineering isn’t about code, it’s about describing in sufficient detail exactly what you want. Of course, this just leads to business analysts and ux designers being the next ones to be replaced after coders… :P

> but there isn't really a standard for 220v household extension cords

Well, there is there in the rest of the world, outside of North America. Most of the power plugs are 220v-240v @ 10-16 amp (depending on country, plug, etc).

Picking an existing standard would work here I think.

I like weird keyboards. I have acquired, in order: a Kinesis Advantage 2, an Ergodox (split ortholinear), a OLKB Planck Light (40% ortho), and a OLKB Preonic (60% ortho).

I've been daily driving the Preonic for 4 years now and once reconfigured, it is the most comfortable of my keyboards. The layer system is a game changer: you can put arrow keys on the home row, just a modifier away. One other cool trick is having enter on the bottom right key, you can press it with your palm.

I describe a bit my current layout in the QMK repo (they encourage everyone to add their keymap!): https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/pr...

Birds may be badly disoriented when seeing the moving blades close by. Not at all surprised. Their sense of perspective, distance and speed may fail them badly when seeing an object bigger than they were instinctively supposed to ever meet, moving faster and on unusual trajectory.
> One day, images generated with these AIs will become ubiquitous online, and new AIs training on data will wind up with feedback problems because they got trained on photos that are AI generated, possibly even ones they themselves generated!

Possibly but not necessarily. The human curation prior to posting as well as additional textual context associated with the image could be valuable training signal, even if there is some feedback.
Well, today they're definitely coming for the artists I've stopped working with for side gigs since dall-e provides good enough results at zero cost and a fraction of the time necessary
Is this going to start changing the world as much as search did? My guess within 10 years AI will have changed everything, it won’t look like AGI but it’ll be good enough to be better than humans at most creative endeavours including things like generating whole films and possibly games with a few carefully arranged text prompts and start images. Quite terrifying.

I wonder if it will be possible to train a neural network to do our programming tasks for us?

I disagree with black-out curtains; rather, I think you should provide options for good lighting at night. I don't see why you'd want to block out the sun during the day, unless people are sleeping there too, and even then, only in "nap rooms."

Unless you're hiring literal vampires, your devs should get some sun exposure.
Isn't this how the human brain works as well?

Don’t they, though? What else do you think is behind the curtain if not mathematics?
> Surprised they didn't use ArduPilot or PX4 (or even iNav) all three of which are just as good as DJI, completely open source and wildly easy to configure.

Smaller sponsoring budgets. Tweaking the drone a little is not the hard part, the hard part is walking up there and funding everything required to do so.

The iPhone apps where already cross-compiled from AMD64, before the switch to the Apple Silicon. It might not take that much to do the compilation on an Linux server, regardless of the underlying hardware.

There is something weird about a company that makes it's own hardware and operating system using something completely different in their datacenters. However I don't think that macOS have the tooling required to large scale installation required for something like this.

A few months ago this task was virtually impossible. Then it was possible, but extremely expensive and pay-walled behind the "Open"AI' website.

As of about a week ago this tech runs on consumer GPUs. The weights have been downloaded 100s of thousands of times, and fine-tuning / modifying is possible.

Training from scratch is about $500k still, but it will only get cheaper and easier.
You constantly talk in the terms of faithful ideas and yet reject they exist.

There is a reason you 'think this curious idea might be true' and the chain of ideas that got you to this point goes back a long way. And your thinking is usually influenced by unspoken ideas you take as prima facie true and acceptable, even though you never admit it.

These ideas come from faith and if you understand their starting point, you can understand their likely ending point and become a better scientist for it.

You don't see the connection because I haven't summarized centuries of ideas in three sentences of logical chains so you don't have to think about the history of ideas, and can just accept the answer prima facie like you do every other idea science runs on.

You don't know, what you don't know.

This really feels like pearls before swine. Have a nice day.
The bup has a modifier effect on the dxm. The fact that it is also an antidepressant is not the main driver.
Things I don't miss from CRTS: Their weight, the heat they put off, eye strain caused by low refresh rates (below 75hz for me), having to adjust the rabbit ears or outdoor antenna when one of the 4 channels got too snowy, image burn in.

Things that I miss from CRTS: black is black not grey, console tvs and tv's as furniture, better viewing angles as people didn't mount their damned tv over a fireplace or up high in general, turning the brightness knob down if it too bright at night, video games (of course),
The concept of quantifying inflammation is definitely interesting - best of luck and excited to see how this plays out!
I am an Eastern European that worked a lot for US companies (or generally the West). While it sounds like a no-nonsene attitude should work, I've found that being more salesy and positive works wonders when interacting with people from the US (I know Cambridge isn't the US, but it's likely similar in this aspect). This "I am not impressed by anything" attitude, results in you either omitting achievements that other candidates have listed and/or underselling the ones you would think of putting down. This makes you look worse than the benchmark. And the benchmark in the USA will always be skewed towards it's cultural lense.
Are there any standards/frameworks emerging on how to write texts/prompts?
