You hate modal interfaces then. A non-modal interface would initiate pairing with a fixed button, this button would do the same thing every time, and it wouldn't require other inputs. Perhaps A, B, C buttons for three connections, where pressing once auto-connects to the previously saved device and holding initiates pairing (like a radio favourites button).

A non-modal interface for controlling audio settings (volume, bass, treble, etc.) would be one knob for each function—not one knob which changes function when you click it, or having to dig seven layers deep through in a touch screen menu. I change audio settings all the time on my car depending on what I'm listening to, because there are 6 knobs for this (big volume knob, small knobs for bass/mid/treble/balance/fader.[1]

Modal interfaces in cars are bad because their results are unpredictable. Touch screens are bad because they allow for non-modal interfaces, and also because they're not tactile.

I think morphing screens are impractical. But that doesn't mean we have to give up on tactile affordances altogether. I think there's a real missed opportunity for Tesla, with their floating touchscreen. The natural way to adjust the temperature and other controls in the bottom bar is to put your fingers behind the screen to hold your hand steady and use your thumb to press the buttons. The back of the screen is currently a featureless flat surface, but it could easily have tactile features for your fingers to find. If you could feel where your fingers are relative to the screen then you could hit the bottom bar controls without looking. And it wouldn't ruin the minimalist aesthetic because it's all hidden from view behind the screen.
Except that the radius of curvature in that case depends on the charge and mass of the particle, but all particles follow the same trajectory in a gravitational field. The trajectory is a geodesic, a non-Euclidean generalization of a straight line. All objects travel on straight lines unless acted upon by forces: inertia.
The story I’ve heard is the economics undergrads can’t get into economics grad school. This is just a rumor but the sentiment is that undergrads get taught a watered down version of economics theory. Economics theory is potentially very technical and includes game theory and proofs. Even in CS, undergrads take intro theory courses and “bottom out” in their math skills, even though grad-level CS gets much more difficult. Therefore, I’d imagine the primary determinant of this rigor phenomenon is the GPA inflation of the major.
From what I can Google it seems to be the opposite of that, where they acknowledged Postgres's shortcoming in the mailing list:

Without speaking to the content of the post, there should be a special hell for this type of hype followed by a paywall. This tactic is responsible for a great deal of the shittyness of the modern web IMO. I hope it is judged as the low value click bait it is.
I believe that there is a similar dynamic when it comes to startup funding; those who receive all the big rounds of funding drown out those which don't. A lot of our economic problems can be explained by saturation. Too much attention, too much money, too many opportunities and too much power going to a select group of people which deprive everyone else of those things.
Even in season 3 it was dangerously cheesey at times. Also the plot was structurally awkward. They wanted to do a long story arc like DS9 but crammed it into too few episodes so it felt rushed and not like DS9, but then it also didn't have standalone episodes like TNG so it didn't feel like that either. But, to be fair, it's a new show so should be judged on its own but I don't believe the combination of pieces was greater than the sum in end, only less.
In this case there's something more concrete, in the form of equations[1], behind the usage of the word.

Yeah people keep trying to push the "Russian connection" when it isn't being supported by Durov's actions. It almost feels like a conspiracy theory encouraged by users of competing apps.

There are legitimate reasons to doubt Telegram like the lack of default end-to-end encryption but the Russian thing as a criticism of the app itself is overblown.

No moral double standard, just standard. I believe American culture is deficient in many aspects, and so requires change and criticism is one vehicle for this. Similarly, Arab, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, etc culture will have its deficiencies.

For a long time America has this belief of “exceptionalism” and sometimes to a crazy degree where its people act like they are the center of the world. That the cracks are showing and people are recognizing unfairness is a laudable thing.

Your first paragraph makes a great observation, that your culture is intrinsically tied to historical factors, in this case political dominance and religious and cultural spread.

So the habits a person of a certain culture has, these are rooted in what they inherited of this culture. These habits are a result of historical influences, which includes previously mentioned inequities, wealth gaps, etc.

>That's because Rust GUI people are like Lispers and functional programmers — too obsessed with doing things correctly "from first principles" and "purity".

That's... entirely wrong and not necessary to paint swathes of developers like.

Rust has numerous solutions for native GUIs. People ship apps with those stacks. Rust also has things like Tauri for when you don't want to deal with differences across platforms.

Just because there's not one blessed solution doesn't mean it's not possible to write UIs in Rust today. ;P
Miserable is, of course, a sliding scale. You can definitely find more miserable.

But for example...

I ducked into the office midsummer to knock out a bit more work on a project that was falling behind. It was sweltering in the building because the property manager didn't enable the air conditioning on the weekend to save money. I found a pod of our recently-hired contractors working in the middle of the floor. Asked them what was up; found out they pull 7-day coverage (not all; they work staggered shifts so they're individually pulling 5 of 7 days, but we had 7 days of coverage for their job because they were answering customer queries). Asked if the AC was broken; was told that's how it always was.

Nobody had thought to turn on the Goddamn AC because nobody had realized we were now requiring human beings to be in the building 7 days a week. And yeah, 85 degrees isn't exactly a 19th-century textile mill, but it's outside OSHA regs and none of these folk were empowered to do anything about it. They didn't even have a channel to complain to anyone.

I told facilities management that I'd be working Saturdays and Sundays and if something wasn't done about the HVAC I'd probably have to file a formal complaint. Problem got fixed right quick. When you're an actual Googler with the right color badge a mistake like that gets solved within a day.

I worked closely with Google contractors for years and that's tip-of-the-iceberg shit. The company wasn't (usually) actively trying to screw them over, but it was real, real easy for the regular process to stop remembering to treat them like fellow employees (because Google's real keen on them not being "fellow" employees).
There’s probably some places where it’s used where it shouldn’t be, but there is such a thing as “emergent”.

I think it helps to see an easy example first.

Take a great body of water (h2o) on earth, such as the ocean. That water has waves and those waves have amplitudes, as well as other properties such as crests.

A molecule (or even a few) of water (h2o) doesn’t really have these properties. It doesn’t have crests. You could argue it has amplitudes. Crests are an emergent property of large masses of water molecules within a specific system. There’s no crest to a water molecule.

Similarly, for demonstration purposes we could say there’s no waves/crests when gravity is removed.

So when I hear emergent, I imagine properties that show up under certain conditions within a system, that were not present in individual components.
What a shallow article. It's essentially complaining about the politician immunity thing. It's complaining about this while right wing politicians are being systematically persecuted and removed from power despite popular vote because of "fake news".

Yeah, I guess things might have been different then. I was 3 at that time, and in doing occasional trade shows for the last 7 or 8 years (so, from mid 2010s on), I've just never experienced it; not in Seattle, San Diego, Baltimore, nor a handful of smaller cities in NY and DE.

Maybe the world has changed in the last 42 years, and it'd be helpful to qualify stories like these (where the original poster says he is not allowed, present tense) with where and when they've happened.

They are on the front foot and going for it before the service is really ready for prime time. 3gpp has working groups that is working on defining standards for direct to device satcom/5G NTN (non-terrestrial network). Chip makers are implementing it in their silicone etc. The rest of the industry is a bit on the back foot. It has not been a very competitive market the last decade, but it's burning under the other players foot now and they need to consolidate and turn them selves around before SpaceX eats all of their lunch. D2D could be a valuable revenue stream, but not if SpaceX gets there first. Interesting times.
The satellite emulates a cell tower, just one that is hundreds of miles away and moving very fast. So some tricks with the timing will need to happen since LTE expects the tower to be close and not moving. How big a cell is depends on how powerful the phased array beam former is on the satellite. The achievable data rates aren't very high so this is more a network of last resort when you are out of range of a tower.

The browser is successful not because it has a solid foundation but because a ridiculous amount of engineering effort has been put into it. Most of the "beautiful foundation" you see are all post 2012. You young'uns don't remember the days before HTML5 and CSS3. Before npm and PWAs and the "cloud native" nonsense.

Adobe Flash anyone? Silverlight? Before WebAssembly/WebGL/WebGPU unity (yes that game engine) even required a browser plugin. Web browsers were often severely incompatible with each other and web standards were a suggestion at best. Now, it's bad form to slander dead people so I will just say that the nice kind folks at apple under the orders of their dear leader did their best to destroy as much of the pre-2012 web as possible by gatekeeping the iPhone browser and using their market power to strong arm web technology.

Right, union workers were shot at and bombed fighting for the rights that we take for granted today.

Another way to look at this is that there hasn't been much progress in the labor market over the last ~50 years. Wages have been stagnant for that long, states introduced legislation that neutered unions and organization is at a comparative low. Given the trend of replacing employees with contractors who have less rights and benefits, you can even say that we're taking steps backward compared to where we were not too long ago.
Asp.Net authentication is 10 times worse in this regard.
Desktop solutions don't use wasm/canvas for their primary use. Although you can wasm to compile it for web demo, they are primarily meant to be used as native apps outside of a browser.

To be fair, it’s easier and more convenient to just tell the user to download their own app than having to set up any other 2FA service.

Authentication has been a solved problem for decades but no bank is going to ask the general public to use their SSH keys.
I can imagine that customers are annoyed by laggy UIs but don't weigh that very highly when deciding to buy a new car.

Especially if the competition is roughly equally slow, the costs to engineer a responsive solution might be to high for its impact on sales.

Consumers, being used to feature rich phones, may indeed value feature count over quality (for the entertainment System). Despite what OEMs claim a car is first and foremost a means of transportation and a "software Plattform" only after that.

Google has more TVCs (temps, vendors, and contractors) than FTEs. By a good margin. Most of these people work 40 hours a week at Google. They do everything from kitchen work to program management to software engineering. They are often embedded in teams of FTEs and sit side by side with them. Yet Google leadership says that they’re not employees and they shouldn’t be. They don’t do work that’s part of Google’s “core competencies” or is “critical to Google’s mission”.

What a load of horseshit. It’s an excuse to underpay and ignore 55% of your workforce. And it means that Google’s famous culture (what’s left of it) applies to only a minority of people who functionally work at Google every day.

I’m generally not a big Google hater (especially among the HN crowd) but on this issue I can’t stay quiet. Google executives should be ashamed.

> because we are conditioned to not say, ‘It is not going to work for me because . . . ’. They don’t want to talk about racial bias. They want to talk about the opportunities...

As an immigrant raising “children of color” in America, this keeps me up at night. My parents never taught me to expect racism and so I’ve never encountered it in any meaningful sense living in this country.

But folks are on a kick about it now and want to teach my kids to think that way, and I think it’s setting them up for failure. How does it help my kids to be looking for and see racism? Even if one of them grows up and has a racist boss, can they really do anything about it? They can’t. It just means they need to work harder.

Interesting comment and true enough

1) right now, and
2) in Western economies.

I checked the prices per tonne and the cheapest bulk edible insect on the open market in Europe is some 30% more expensive than chicken.

However .. I can't see a good reason prices would stay that way if edible insect farming was scaled to match the tonnage of chicken .. right now the total demand is so low production is essentially a niche and unstreamlined boutique affair.
Can't wait to see how all of this is going to look like in ten years. I know we are all nitpicking right now but these results are totally mindblowing already.

> as an experienced user you should know that's it's not one shot

Being "not one shot" for most nontrivial prompts is a failure of current t2i models, its what they all strive for and its what DF supposedly does a lot better. And, while its possible to spin things pretty hard when people can't bang on it themselves, I think the indication is that it is, in fact, a major leap forward from the best current consumer-available t2i models (it looks pretty comparable to Google Imagen – a little bit worse benchmark scores – which is unsurprising since it seems to be an implementation of exactly the architecture described in Google's Imagen paper.

> It’s overfitted on images with copyright (afghan girl)

It’s…not, though. Sure, the picture with a prompt which is suggestive of that (down to even specifying the same film type) gives off a vibe that completely feels, if you haven’t recently looked at the famous picture but are familiar with it, like a “cleaned up” version of that picture, so you might intuitively feel its from overfitting, that it is basically reproducing the original image with slight variations.

Look at the two pictures side-by-side and there is basically nothing similar about them except exactly the things specified in the prompt, and pretty much every aspect of the way that those elements of the prompt is interpreted in the DF image is unlike the other image.

I think I understand and agree with what you're saying, but I needed a moment to really make sure I understood it. These are the questions that came up for me:

>Stop adjusting for closed societies! They never get better!

Is the closed society Chinese society under the CCP, or American society under the DCMA?

>Be your own good open society! Hope, help coax the barriers lower.

Is the good open society the IP protection-less Chinese one under the CCP, or the American one? Which has more innovation?

>But be brilliant & yourself. And stop trying to appease the unappeasable closed totalitarians.

Is it the communists or the capitalists who are the totalitarians?

This is one reason why operating margin alone doesn't speak to the competitive nature of the market in which a company competes. Other reasons include current position in a cyclical business cycle, quality of management, corporate history (e.g. accumulated debt), etc.

Also note that the oil companies I mentioned have higher margins than Comcast, and they operate businesses that are also capital intensive with lots of plant and equipment. They operate in more competitive markets than Comcast, and yet they have higher operating margins. Different markets produce different results.
