I think there was already some kind of GDPR court case that forced Google to make a one-click opt-out button because adding extra steps for opting out is not acceptable, but Canonical isn't exactly a privacy-consciour company so I guess they'll wait for one of the overworked DPAs to act.
Their keyboards also support BLE with the actual host. Using their dongle has the advantage of working as well as a wired device on a system that isn't yet booted as you are paired to the dongle not the host, and the dongle then acts as standard USB devices.

Putting a more complete Bluetooth host into their dongle would just change the edges of where it is incompatible with normal Bluetooth usage.
UX of my weed dealer is also better than my local dispensary, and I don’t have to pay any taxes. It’s easy to have better experiences for yourself when you just ignore laws and other people’s rights in order to do whatever you want.
I got stuck on a job in Dubai (Government client - they also had us work in trailers on-site - no remote access allowed) with a Remote Desktop jump host where the mouse didn't have any pass-through to my terminal session - which mean I had to work for 8 hours a day without any ability to select/copy/paste with a mouse. I had tmux-installed on the remote hosts and for the next three months, select/cut/copy/paste/resize panes/etc... were done without a mouse. Seven years later, I've never once used a mouse with tmux since then. https://github.com/schasse/tmux-jump is the equivalent plugin that lets you jump anywhere you want on the screen.

The pinout is already standard, you can use mini-PCIe (common in older laptops) or the more recent M2 slot (which is the same PCIe but in a different form-factor).

In fact some boards already come with 2 M2 slots, so nothing prevents you from using the second one for a wireless card if you so desire. Bluetooth on the other hand is low-enough bandwidth that a USB adapter works fine generally (USB Wi-Fi adapters also work but USB uses more CPU which is a problem for high-bandwidth networking).

Personally I just don't see the point of Wi-Fi for a stationary machine anyway - you're wasting valuable spectrum for something better served by an Ethernet cable (sourced from a powerline adapter if you're really desperate).
this makes sense at a high level. do you have any recommendations for where I can look into this a bit more?
I played with these tools a lot, so expected bad results as soon as I read the prompt.

Still found the post really interesting as it explores a very realistic use case. A client needs something simple designed for a blog post. Should they use AI or a human designer?

I read somewhere in the comments here that these tools are very bad at counting. Which is an interesting limitation with far reaching implications.
People still pay for customized software. Each company has some internal weird corner cases that are not covered by standard open source software, so you can sell the customization to them or be an employee that does the customization internally.

In a recent project I used standard libraries to connect IMAP, SMTP and web scraping. Nothing interesting. Just connecting tubes and a regular expression in the middle. And a for loop, to repeat it. Nothing interesting, but it's enough to be the computer wizard.

There is a bigger elephant in the room: what do Americans do, as a nation, to justify such a lavish lifestyle?
I think you're kind of missing the point. The author was just pointing out that lots of personal health-related info was being recorded in the calls. When you know a call is being recorded it is kind to steer the conversation away from content that the person you are talking to may not want broadly shared. Prospects may be told that the calls are being recorded but they may not realize the implications of that.

Fine. Ignore the obvious point that picking a single matter that judges consider as a sole focus of efficacy contributes nothing to the conversation.
Do not collect data from anyone, including minors.

No one, whether they are 18 or 81, wants to consent to surreptitious data collection for undisclosed uses.

But "tech" companies cannot survive without conducting surveillance. And so it is the false "tradeoff" (false dilemma) that they must sell to the public to survive.^1

Why do so many "dark patterns" exist. Because no one in their right mind wants to consent to what is actually going on with the collected data at these websites, which need not be disclosed by law so how would anyone on the outside even know. We let these websites get away with this nonsense in the case of adults but with children it is just too egregious to allow. Hence the AADC. This by no means suggests that adults want to consent. The dark patterns target people of any age.

1. If do not allow data collection and surveillance then there can be no web. That is total BS. We just saw instructions on how to download Wikipedia yesterday on the HN front page. We can build hospitals with opioid money but that does not provide a justification for selling opioids without restriction. We can also build hospitals with taxes or donations.

Are there "11 billion" views just like there are "about n million results" on the Google search page? I wonder how real that number is.

Anyway, that is a sidetrack; I agree with the rest of your point. Seeing the garbage that recommendation algorithms serve me is proof enough that they are not successfully crafting a unique experience just for me but instead putting me in some heap based on what they mistakenly think they know about me.
> Okay, well maybe it was impossible for anyone to deduce what I was trying to convey.

Don't know if this is evidence of "framing for more engagement," but this line irks me. The latent diffusion models are pretty powerful, but I don't think there's anyone claiming that today's diffusion models are able to interpret complicated queries better than humans. The interesting part of diffusion models is that they can produce good results at all, not that they are better than humans. We're not in AGI territory. Even text models are still limited in many ways, and latent diffusion is highly reliant on the text model to produce good results. Even simpler queries can run into quite a lot of problems, that's exactly why a lot of people have been trying to figure out the best prompts to improve results.

They've had a way to blacklist loading DLLs for a very long time [0], by patching the call that loads DLLs.

If that's the only problem, it shouldn't be too hard to limit either in hardware or have the HW run the user-provided firmware in some rudimentary VM that essentially passes through everything except the commands that set TX power; that way you maintain compliance without restricting people from running their own software.

I think however it's just a matter of time before these restrictions become obsolete anyway:

1) I'm not sure whether the possibility of violating FCC regulations is something that will be used in practice by enough people to be a problem (you might get the odd one out here and there, but see the point below)

2) People who intentionally want to violate FCC regulations can already do so in plenty of ways - SDRs are becoming cheaper and cheaper and there's basically no way to prevent their import, so I'm not sure why they'll even bother with a wireless card if their aim is to truly cause mischief and shit on restricted radio bands.
It has a bit of a hokey syntax. The original syntax was eschewed in the 70s because it looked too technical. The hope was it could be used directly by non-developers. Of course, that never happened so we are left with this somewhat peculiar prosy compromise.

B2B saas products are often complex and not intuitive enough for end users to navigate through on their own without some onboarding help.

Part of this is because of the nature of the products or business or industry and part of it is just not investing in good UX.

Also, some of these products (especially platforms which is what all products aspire to be) have many different features and types of use cases they can be used for so you often have to tailor a demo to something the customer cares about.

Also, there’s a weird fear in a lot of orgs about showing the actual software to anyone. Part of it is about competitors seeing what you have but also, just that the UIs are crap and no one wants to show it until they can talk about the business value someone will get from it.
The purple / orange theme is gross looking and clashes with neutral colors from third parties. It just looks extremely unprofessional. They should just ship vanilla GNOME, it’s beautiful.

This attitude of "fearing Nintendo" strikes me as incredibly weird. Force 'em, who cares? That's competition. Love the Wii, but also it's obviously that they've had to make some terrible deals with the devil for the Switch.

And this is because Steam's model is broadly superior, for the simple fact that respects both creators and users autonomy more.

Nintendo can catch up to the times or Nintendo can get it's lunch eaten. But that's on them.

Building Basilisk II for iOS (2021)
I'm working at a small food startup and we needed a logo. One the one hand I was ordering a commission from UpWork and on the other side I was trying to create a logo on my own using DallE2. Dalle2 took a lot of tries and I ended up eventually with 2 good candidates. Unfortunately neither were perfect and I don't have time to try and edit it despite having some graphic design experience. The commission, on the other hand, allowed me much more control over the situation as I could ask for incremental changes and then see how I feel about them. Dalle2 is really lacking. If you wanna do things DIY you may find it useful but it'll still take some extra work. If you just want a good product that is ready for market, you need an artist
Are you sure? The latest SIGMOD paper on FoundationDB says it's in active use. My impression is that iCloud is built on both Cassandra and FDB, and that FDB (via Record Layer in particular) is used extensively.
Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I think I agree.
wait until you hear about the World Series.
That sounds right, and the Constitution does seem to say that, but the Sonny Bono Copyright Act, which extended the copyright protections for old, already-existing works, was found to be constitutional, and so I must conclude that you are somehow mistaken.
Ironic given how many Switch games are old games and/or games for other systems.
The scientific method came around 1600s. Statistics existed in 1662.

Many services like that already exist - at this moment they are using stock images. Once AI generated images become as good and predictable as stock images - I have no doubt that the services will switch to them.

But, stock images have existed for many years. They are considerably cheaper than custom work, are as professional looking and are available immediately. Sounds like an absolute game changer, but in reality the market for custom design work didn't die.

I am not sure that I understand all of the reasons why people pay extra for custom design work in a world where automated stock services exist. Some of my guesses are

- People don't trust their visual taste and want a trusted human to make those decisions for them

- Discovery problem. People are simply unaware of such services and their benefits

- People are willing to pay
premium for the knowledge that their design has a human author.

- Last mile problem. Even if the image looks 99% like what you want, you might still need a guy to save it / fix it / crop it / format it because you don't know how to do it yourself.

I am sure that there are more factors. And even if AI images will bridge the quality gap to human-made stock images, all of this will still apply to them.
Many services and technologies have been trying to solve those problems for many years. AI will add to that process, but I don't see a reason for a dramatic change in the near future.
Devs is a great mini-series that has similar themes.
That's an even better example then, because it shows that most people will and do go for the weed dealer. UX matters regardless of laws in terms of what people actually do, not just what they say they would do.
Ah I guess consent-o-matic must have blocked those. almost forgot I had that extension installed.
A few years back, my partner and I made the decision to take our own child off of life support.

We knew his death was inevitable for a good long while before the decision came, and still, it was excruciating. Not because we weren't ready to let go. We knew we would never be ready, so, in some grim way, that just wasn't a factor. No, what we came to realize is that it was because we somehow didn't feel we were at liberty to do so. Legally, sure. But it seemed like everyone around us was pushing us to fight fight fight, and, even in such an extreme situation, peer pressure is one of the most powerful forces in nature.

But I also know that, when we finally did say the words, everyone on the care team took turns hugging us and reassuring us that we were making the right choice. I think, in retrospect, that it must have been terribly heartbreaking for them to watch our situation and know what we were thinking, and themselves not feel at liberty to give voice to what we all were thinking, too. We call them heroes for saving lives, and yet they are perhaps at their most heroic when they can't save a life, but still manage to go back to work the next day. Even more so now that it has become customary to remove the proverbial band-aid as slowly as possible.

I think that our only real regret is that we didn't let him go sooner, and instead stupidly, futilely let things drag out long past the point where it could do him or anyone else any good. I think about that a lot, now. And I make sure that the people who might some day have to make end of life care decisions for me know how much I think about it. Perhaps, when the time comes, it will help to fractionally reduce the amount of anguish they experience as they take care of me. I certainly hope so.

And I think that the time to talk to your loved ones about these things is now. It's comforting to think that end of life care only happens to old people, but it can happen to anyone at any age.

This is a good idea. In addition to the input cursor, have an eye cursor showing on the text tracking where the eyes are looking at. The eye cursor moves to where the eyes focus. Press a special key, like ctrl-space, to set the input cursor to the eye cursor.

The cameras can be calibrated when the eyes focus at the 4 corners of the editor.

For the cameras, may be a lidar would work better? IPhone has these 3D face scan for the longest time for unlocking. Those read the eyes.

Eye tracking HUD for fighter pilot have been working for a long time, so it's doable.

> The aircrew can enable/disable the wifi at will.

Yes, but that does nothing when it comes to risk of radio emissions. Turning off the AP doesn't magically prevent client devices from doing whatever they want anyway. If there was a genuine risk of a client device interfering with the plane's equipment, turning off an AP wouldn't do anything about it, nor will asking the passengers to turn it off (some might not comply, forget or not even realize that their device has a Wi-Fi radio in it). You need either extreme control over every electronic device brought onboard (including X-ray scans, since implantable medical devices now have RF communication too), or enough shielding around the sensitive equipment to make RF no longer a risk - the latter has already been done for decades and RF is no longer (and I don't recall ever being actually) a threat to airplanes.
Seems like a huge security risk, but phones have similar capability.

I'm not a designer so it is difficult to point out exactly how it should be improved. My reaction to it however is it has a very amateur look in my opinion.

Having complexity without understanding the “why” behind the complexity is a major issue. My best advice is to balance pragmatism with simplicity and always prioritize personal learning and understanding. If you use React, ask yourself why. You will eventually learn a lot of microtopics the more you do this. I like working in infra because microtopics are treated as first class. There is no shortage of articles about database consistency models for example. Learn the microtopics and you future proof yourself from mindless tech decisions
