Especially when it's bright. I can imagine under direct sunlight the keyboard loses some of its appeal. Whatever.
what's the bill intending to do that it's got folks so riled up? the article linked doesn't provide a lot of context
In a previous work, we had salespeople on the same floor.

I'd look some of them sit in tiny booths to be on phone calls the entire day.

No idea why they wouldn't just work from home. But maybe the option wasn't available to them.
This is great, if you rarely add/update secrets and you also have easy, quick access to that offsite storage.

It's not so great if you're constantly tapping your friend because you need to swap Yubikeys again and you both just get sick of that rigmarole.

When setting up Yubikey, I discovered a tool, I think it's called "paperkey" and it lets you print out a GPG key after minting it. Have fun typing that back in! OCR ahoy!

It's lower-tech, but my solution is to always have a comprehensive catalog of plaintext backup secrets stored offsite. This won't rely on anything electronic and it's easy to use. You just have to make a good effort to guard it from prying eyes, at least any eyes that also know your username and password.

And likewise to some of the GPs, I'm skeptical of anything based on possession of an electronic thing that functions properly. The Yubikey is the best yet, because it's simple, purpose-built, and "virtually indestructible" as the marketing copy says. I would even love one of those RSA gadgets with a built-in display for purpose-built TOTP functionality. But paper's the best backup yet. Don't discount paper!
The home office equipment can be bought from the higher salaries the companies are able to provide now that they don't need to waste as much money on office rent. Of course, getting a good chair is just as important as it used to be!
It is not clear to me from the article, how does it clean the air?

Surely they are not claiming having a solar panel integrated, as removing CO2 from the atmosphere, as that would be an outright lie.
The irony is an open office is fine when hardly anyone is going in. I think 400sqft per person in an open office space is a good amount to enjoy low noise. I have been as low as 40sqft/person including walkways and open office and it was impossible to work to the point it was a major reason I had to leave.
Yes, that bit is really about turning the car into a very inefficient fan.
You don't need to encrypt anything to verify those images, you just need to sign them. See how Heads does this.

Laid-off Twitter software engineer calls job market 'hot garbage'
Heat reduces power of PV Panels by up to 10%. Looking at a random spec sheet it's -0.35%/C so from 45C to 75C the difference is roughly 10%. I would not call it "very very small". Also increase in temperature reduces the lifetime of the panels.

That said I too think that taking that hit will never be offset by all the faff of dealing with ocean water, waves etc.

Moreover the big installations in Morocco have not been PV but concentrated mirrors in which case any increase in heat is improvement and brooms are more important.
It matters because more than zero bad things happen to people in every single country, so we have no choice but to rely on statistics to get a sense for what countries are like and how to compare them. It's this sense of what countries are like in general, statistically, that allows us to say anything intelligent about things like this.
>It always confuses me how on a site for techies, where people constantly reason about with virtual concepts and abstractions, the idea that physical biology genes and hormones might be typically but not EXCLUSIVELY coupled with mental sentience is so difficult to imagine.

I personally struggle to understand why a site full of techies can't see the human body for what it is, a genuine masterpiece of engineering with the clear and unmistakable hallmarks of purpose and higher order systems design.

Which, in our experience as engineers, is only ever the product of deliberate intelligence and any claim of exception should really raise eyebrows. Anyone who builds anything should have no trouble with this.

Based on that, I don't believe that the human body was designed for gender fluidity, in fact it is clearly deliberately set up to be binary. Any deviation from that default, in human beings, is unintended error. Perhaps due to deleterious genetic mutation or other entropic effects normally seen in complex systems.

Regardless of what you believe though, the safest thing to say is that we don't fully understand the systems in the body yet, and so Chesterton's Fence should apply. And ESPECIALLY so, when it's deciding whether to perform irreversible surgical work on a vulnerable population.
It's a different perspective when you can do something instead of must do something.

When I'm visiting my parents, I like to clean leaves and get rid of the snow from the driveway. But if I had to do it every day, because I wouldn't be able to use the car if I didn't? That's a completely different perspective.
Not really? Stalking actions require you to invade privacy or continuing contact when it was unwanted. Stalking is an actual thing.
Wouldn't they be FDIC insured?
There's nothing wrong with companies driving industry standards. That's how it works in other industries as well. As long as they're not there to purely benefit Google or implemented in a way that other browsers cannot replicate, I don't see the problem.
I fully agree that wanting to be a different sex than the one you were born as is different from wanting to be a different height than what you grew into, but I'd bet there's a case to be made that women wanting to be shorter (at least shorter than men) isn't simply a trend but also something that has existed for a very long time.
To be fair even the greatest translator can't make miracles, if he is not provided with reference/documentation, I am often translating completely in blind, just guessing because client doesn't bother to provide any reference.
We wish that's what a crypto exchange blowing up was like! Every exchange crisis is either a liquidity crisis or a solvency crisis, we keep on wishing crypto exchange crises are liquidity crises but they inevitably get revealed as solvency crises where crime or incompetence means the money everyone thought was there is just flat out gone.
This was counter-intuitive to me too! I was recently playing around with some of the LLMs that can run on consumer hardware (via KoboldAI, RWKV, etc) and, boy, are they not as good as ChatGPT despite consuming all my Mac's resources. Meanwhile, can get Stable Diffusion images in under a minute!
Commutes are often filled to the brink with people, there usually isn't enough space for everyone to move freely, and depending on one's location, you might have nothing but a black tunnel wall outside the windows. Public transport often requires one to switch trains or buses, and traffic jams are a constant worry for drivers.

Travelling, as in actually going somewhere, is often a nice and relaxing experience. Taking a delayed filled-to-the-brink bus to the train-station, switching to a delayed train without a single free seat, switching to a hermetically sealed metro car an hour later and finally arriving at the office 30 minutes late is _not_ a relaxing experience.

I'd love to see my coworkers now and then, but commuting really neutralises any benefits from going to the office.
Order matters, did they try to find consensus or did they just go ahead and implement something? The latter doesn’t lead to standards.
To be fair the grandparent post did not elaborate,
but not everyone is locked into doing nothing during their commute.

People using public transport might be able to do all sorts of things like reading or creative work.

That’s of course hard if you need to drive yourself.

But if you are able to make good use of that time one could consider it not lost.

Maybe commute should be clocked in for jobs that don’t rely on physical presence?
I think "gate" here is being used to mean "gate off", or "inhibit".

The writer would simply refrain from writing anything for a moment, leaving the original bulk-erased magnetic nothingness in the middle of a sector.
This is the most likely I believe.
I expect that the local correlation structure in images is more homogenous than in language, there are more chances to make mistakes (e.g. confusing the intangible and tangible - You can't see green ideas sleeping furiously) and, perhaps, we might even criticise mistakes from long range interactions more in language.
A picture may be worth a thousand words when the information you want to convey is visual. But that's not the case the overwhelming majority of the time.

Imagine having this discussion (or the comment thread as a whole) using exclusively pictures, for example... at least you can describe an image with words (even if the result is very lossy), most of the time it's not even possible to describe a text with images.

In my view, language is infinitely more versatile and powerful than images, and hence harder to learn.

> A general observation I made that If there is no hope she will ever say "yes", he knows that and pursues her anyway, he is a stalker, not a hopeless romantic. and my original statement that the author sounds like borderline a stalker.

That is what I am addressing, whether or not they sound like a stalker based on the article.

> At no point did I assert definitively that the author was clearly a stalker. If it looks that way to you, that's perhaps because this is an overwhelmingly male forum and I am getting a lot of replies essentially fairly strongly shooting me down and I happen to be choosing to reply to many of those replies to me.

I'm not arguing that you would have a tough time proving it beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal court. I'm saying that wouldn't even be a consideration. It would never get to trial because there would not eve nbe probable cause. It's not stalking.

Unless there was anywhere that says or suggests she asked him to leave her alone and he did not, or that he secretly followed or observed her, sent messages or tampered with her property, was violent or threatening around her, or anything of that nature. That might change things. Man going to great lengths to impress woman isn't though.

> That's kind of an unfortunate numbers game on HN and it's sometimes a no-win situation if a woman chooses to make a remark on an issue of this sort and it happens to get a lot of push back.

Whether or not that's true does not change that this is not stalking though.

> At this point, you are implying that I am not a "reasonable person" and you are doubling down on insisting I did things that I never did. That's veering into territory that the guidelines suggest should be avoided and I am stepping away from this conversation.

I do not imply that. I am saying I don't think would meet the legal "reasonable person" test, but there are lots of ways that we could disagree other than simply you being unreasonable. Mistaken in other ways in understanding of the situation, or the statute or the law, for example. Not only that if a person does not match legal reasonable person test in all their feelings on everything that doesn't make them an unreasonable person, IMO.
Computers and the internet looked like bubbles until they didn’t.

Not every craze is the next big thing, but for LLMs it’s still too soon to say anything with certainty. The people comparing LLMs to autocomplete have no more legitimacy than people who think LLMs are the first coming of AGI.

I found it humorous that the author couldn’t help but anthropomortise ChatGPT by calling it ”fully automated supremely confident liar”. Calling it a liar implies intent to deceive. Strange to ascribe intent to an autocomplete.
It is more for the commuting in and out of school that it helps.

My kids could walk back from school but primary school do not allows them to get out without me. This is kind of stupid as I would sign a waiver if they wanted it but they won't. So until they both reach what you call high school in the USA I have to go to the primary school and back every day. The most funny thing is sometimes I go there by bicycle, let them out of school give them a kiss then ride bike at full speed home to make it before the call while my daughters are walking on their own. I could pay someone to do that but that just sounds so stupid.
The target velocity is a factor of height, and the autopilot has “160” hardcoded as the ceiling, so going above that means it will never decelerate fast enough.

Is there anything similar that would strip URLs from copied images?

When you Copy Image... in Firefox, the URL is also copied to clipboard and then pasted around, see https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wil262/any_way_to_... )
I would find it more exciting if they started removing stuff from browsers, like legacy APIs and features with a very high attack surface.
I guess there is more complexity than ever too?

I feel like the early days of programming might've been actually easier to automate. There was often well designed specs, cleaner design and architectural patterns to follow etc. Not in all cases of course however now, I'm seeing people hoping to god that ChatGPT can write a client for the worlds shittiest XML API because no one else sure as hell wants to do it.

So what happens now? We just generate more shit and then use moar AI (tm) to work with moar shit (tm), and evolve that pattern fast and faster?

Yesterday I was using co-pilot and it was suggesting a bunch of obvious auto-completes etc, which is fine, that's why I use it, then it hit me, most people are probably going to start to not bother with libraries, clean APIs and specs because soon you will be just brute forcing your way to a solution using text to code and on we go. Maybe the answer will really just be to keep evolving generative coding AIs to keep up with it, let's see how it goes.
recently I tried to search for CO2-consumption (as in usage as an industrial gas) on Google. It didn't return 1 useful hit, everything was about emissions.

So: We are already there, all without ChatGPT... ChatGPT (with its cool ways to make it nondeterministic, like: replacing tokens with synonyms and raising the temperature. Or: retraining it...) will make things worse definitely.

Probably the way to go is for {academia,sects,orgs with sense for humanity,...} to build stores of attributable information and then start shunning the branches which produce bullshit (this is what scientific publishing should do already.... it doesn't... even without ChatGPT there's already templated articles strewn around the corpus and noone cares). The main issue there is, that this means that they will also have to stop using a lot of technology (and buy a 32nm foundry...), because many orgs are probably already poisoned.
I love it when the NPCs in my life story become half-sentient to make my day a bit better.
I compared ChatGPT to a middle tech manager that just heard he has to create a last minute presentation. He knows all the current buzz words to sounds smart.
In the leaked openai foundry pricing there is a davinci 32k model. I wonder if this is effectively GPT4. 32K tokens is a lot of context.
I don't know what the duck you are talking about with autocomplete modifying things
Consensus with whom? Other companies who just take the work they do in form of Chromium for free and repackage it?

Or the other one browser that's barely relevant due to years of mismanagement?
> Genuinely curious how does this work? Do they get paid per the number of hospitals who hired them? How do they go to work? How do they know what hospital to go to?

They have duty schedules, so they know where they should be at a given time. They have contracts signed with each hospital, like any employee. They can also work in private healthcare at the same time. It's just the case of setting up a schedules so they won't collide.

> she was an attending in emergency department and wanted to switch to radiology. In her case this resulted in the full 4 years of study on top of about half a year of just showing up in the hospital and tagging along with the radiology team.

That's normal because this is a specialization change. Not many doctors change specs or have more than one in most cases, at least in Poland.
“This Zem car has a pair of carbon filters in the front grille that contributes to cleaning the atmosphere by removing about 4.5lb of Carbon-dioxide per 20,000 miles.”

It is not clear to me how these filters work but we can see they are not claiming the magic is in solar panels.
What? Not even remotely the same.
Carbon filter.

Though I am confused. How can a passive filter remove CO2? Don't you need to add energy and use some sort of chemical reaction?
Maybe not that exact phrase but it does conjure to mind the video of Cramer saying Bear Stearns was fine.

Again, that Rails is low in that list doesn’t support your claim “ruby isn’t slow, Rails is”.

Pointing out an item a lot higher up on that list that’s also written in ruby and about as easy to use would be a way to support your claim.
The problem with point 2 is that kids is category that includes everything from 0 years old babies to 17 years old teenagers.

So, homeoffice while caring about 1 years old, yup the kid is distraction machine. Home office that allows you to interact with your 10 years old as he comes from school, fill the kids needs and then return to work is awesome.
> removing about 4.5lb of Carbon-dioxide per 20,000 miles

In familiar units: 0.05 g/km. Contrast that to the ~100 g/km emitted by a modern ICE car with decent efficiency. Of course, as mentioned:

> same amount of carbon as a mature tree absorbs annually

Is enough of a comparison to understand that this is more of a gimmick than a viable solution to anything.

Cool student project nonetheless; the "dashboard made of cooking oil", 3D printed parts and the added solar panels are likely of more significance.
You're right! Now I have to try this the next time it imagines a module that does not (yet) exist!
This is typically solved using a class of control algorithm called Model Predictive Control which are capable of optimizing for a given cost function (such as using minimal fuel).

Search for "fuel optimal rocket landing algorithm" for good starting points.
Have you used EdgeDB in prod? I’m itching to try it, but am too worried about general instability. Seems like too many moving parts. Love the DX though, it’s really clean and well thought out.

These are logical sounding arguments, and you are going to be right more often than not. But humans make these decisions, they made the decision to let Lehman sink and it was obviously bad in retrospect, and there were many folks who were opposed to the bailouts in 08.

There are better options than playing these odds. Spread across banks, hold short term treasuries etc. Treasury functions at a company exist for a reason.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel near Half Moon Bay, CA is famous for their unauthorized dumping of large rocks on a public beach to prevent erosion taking out their cliff-top hotel. They were forced to remove the rocks.[1]

Those pictures are a few years old. Compare Google Earth.[2] They're a few years from losing the golf cart path. The hotel might have another 20-30 years.

Recent interview:

Employer 1: “All work is on-site, no exception. No lunch. Open source? What’s that? Sounds like you’re earning money on the side!”

Employer 2: “Work is fully flexible, but usually people like to go in the office 2-3 days a week. We like to pick the same days. Paid lunch. We rely on open source, but we don’t actively contribute.”

Me to Employer 1: “I have another offer, 10% higher salary, fully flexible work conditions, Rust, and they won’t fire me for doing open source.”

Employer 1: “You can work home one day per week, you can do open source, and here’s +3% salary.”

I’m sure they had to respect their own budget. But the number of companies that reverted to 100% work on-site after covid just grew right back.
What is Zig's async story? Is there something like Go's coroutines?
Because it requires a dedicated webmaster.
So you're saying a word is worth 1000 pictures? How did we get this so wrong?
Actually, I think implementing first and standardizing later is how a lot of (dare I say, most?) Web standards came about. And without patents and other IP restrictions, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
It's not that "office" is inherently bad. Commute time and staggering living cost in some cities are inherently bad.
Consensus from Microsoft who repackages their work as Edge and profits off of it by setting Bing as the default?
Do you think Chrome will have a Cmd+T like Arc?
If you have used the Arc browser for a few weeks, one thing you will instantly notice apart from the visual difference is the command bar (cmd + t). You need to hit cmd + t for new tabs, search history, search extensions etc.

I've been a fan of RayCast for quite some time and this approach for a browser made sense to me.

Do you think this will show up by default on the most popular browsers like Chrome (or chromium based browsers), Firefox or Safari? Why or Why not?

Does this go well with the mouse-heavy users? (creating a new tab takes two clicks in Arc).
I do 100% remote work and will never go back. I'm lucky that the company I work at is remote first, so all processes are optimized for it. I get 90 days a year to work from other countries too, this year I stayed in Barbados for 4 weeks (it was an amazing experience) while I championed a project with a public release date (work still gets done). I have a routine with walks at lunch, exercise after work etc. I can shift my working day by 1-2 hours if I decide. If I get bored of working at home I grab my WeWork card and meet with a friend at one of the locations in town. Or I go to a cafe. I don't have a ton of recurring Zoom meetings like in the "remote" companies. I can see people on the team at the offsites (more free travel to other cities/countries) and have fun with them too.

No more office for me. kthxbai
So they installed a comically inefficient CO₂ scrubber in order to generate this headline. In order for CO₂ scrubbing to have even a chance of making sense we need big efficient dedicated plants. There is absolutely no synergy in installing the scrubber on an EV, and handling the measly amount it produces is logistically inefficient.
Exactly. Messages, briefs, reports etc.., are usually great.

Programming? It mostly gets very close to the correct solution, but you still need to be careful.
Very interesting problem to work on. I feel the pain of merge conflicts especially with large codebases. Applied through your careers page
Looks great but I see it chows CPU. I wonder if it's doing software rendering instead of GPU?
Ask HN: Is there a good alternative for a local ChatGPT
I would like to have something as similar as possible to ChatGPT, but deployed in a closed environment. Feed it my specific data and query it afterwards. What would you recommend?
