It's also IMO a significant part of how some companies retain people.

In years past there's always been a persistent strain of criticism of perk-heavy offices because "it's a ploy to get you to work late" - I think the criticism has actually been off the mark. It's actually a little bit more sinister than that: the perks create a culture where your entire social world exists at work, and massively raises the barrier to quitting.

If you've worked at a perk-heavy FAANG like Meta or Google you've met them: the people for whom nearly all of their friends are from work, who relish going into work for the social contact. For them leaving the company isn't just leaving a job, or even colleagues they like, it's the near-total obliteration of their social world.

I don't begrudge people for making friends at work - you have to do a job, you may as well make the best of it, but I would heavily caution people against forming the bulk of their social world around their workmates.

Having a life outside of work isn't just good for you personally, it's IMO pretty critical to your career's success.

Correct, but they were not explicitly designed to replicate human cognitive processes. That was never the goal. There is no pretense of them being a cognitive model that we can scientifically study.

I have no use for this as I've never needed a Lightroom-like product but the Pixelmator Pro app always is a joy to use. I just need to do minor edits (add text, resize, layering stuff) and it scratches the itch that something like Photoshop used to for me. It's lightning quick, no BS update manager running in the background, and a 1-time $50 purchase. I've gotten a ton of value out of it and it's a very Apple-y app. I can't say enough nice things about it.

If you were driven away from Photoshop due to subscription pricing for something you use 1-2 times a week at most then take a look at Pixelmator Pro.

I don't think you can report some of those crimes online in other cities either. Houston (https://www.houstontx.gov/police/online_report.htm) doesn't let you report violent crime nor stolen vehicles. Miami (https://www.miami-police.org/incident_reporting.html) doesn't allow violent crime to be reported either. Smaller cities like the city I grew up nearby like Rogers, Arkansas don't even allow you to file a report online at all.

I don't have time to do a comprehensive survey of how other cities operate online crime reporting, but I'm assuming in good faith that the implication here is that San Francisco's violent crime statistics are under reported if you can't report online. It seems to me that many other cities don't allow you to report online either.

Open to having a good faith discussion on if crime stats in SF are deflated due to underreporting. My guess would be that the base rate of actual people getting assaulted by a homeless guy is pretty low - curious if you have any anecdotal evidence or data to the contrary.

Typically mathematical treatment of DSP is based on the discrete-time Fourier transform and the Z transform, which differ from respectively the Fourier transform and the Laplace transform not in using square waves, but in using an infinite series rather than an integral to capture the idea of discrete sampling.

I think it's a refusal to acknowledge necessary trade-offs. You cannot create a human termite mound with tens of thousands of people per square mile while keeping the exact same forms of infrastructure that serve communities where everyone has their own two acres. I'm a person who enjoys the freedom and solitude of a car. That means I don't get to live in a place that has fifty restaurants within a half-mile and it would be wrong of me to try and force that environment to cater to my needs.

Very much this. Two of my colleagues live in Boston, and they have sold their cars because it's easy to live without owning any.
I'm having trouble making sense of your point, I guess.

You seem to try to draw a parallel between largely failed tech (VR) and largely successful tech (apple watches, etc), and then to massively popular consumer product (coke); then suggest there is 'bravery' in rejecting the 'way these creators want you to use their products'

I sort of get the idea applied to VR as it has never really clicked for anything. But the analogies are all to things that are unambiguously successful with consumers. They are all very much "pull" not "push" at this point. Well, maybe less so with voice apps, that's more "bundle".

I guess you lost me early in your argument, and I was trying to point out why (and figure out what you were actually trying to say)
When you live within walking distance of a grocery store, there's rarely any need for a big shopping trip with many bags; it's easier to just stop by every day or two, perhaps on your way home from work, and bring home a single bag you can easily carry.
This is... demonstrably untrue? People who work from home generally aren't house-bound, they will still go to the coffee shop, the local park, local stores, meetups, pubs, bars, etc.

Sure, if you live in a very amenity-poor area WFH may in fact be quite isolating - but if anything that reinforces the main thrust of the argument: live in a city where there are things to do other than working and hanging out with coworkers!
The point is that alternative (sitting around in home working on your computer) is not more social.
You can do both but the first can be “guaranteed” whereas the second you just graduate with an Associates or whatever and then have to apply for a graduate program separately.
Parts of the library are interchangeable, but inevitably much of it is not. A Postgres and SQLite client might be able to share some query parsing logic between the two databases, but the wire protocol (or lack thereof for SQLite) is not the same, nor is the exact sub/super-set of the SQL standard implemented by each. Basically the only code you could reliably share is an AST parser for the most common subset of the SQL standard that's implemented by both.
My employer is requiring mandatory RTO Tuesday thru Thursday for all employees within 30 miles of an office stating in June. It does not matter if your manager or most members on your team are remote. It does not matter if you are productive remotely. We have many employees distributed in many states and even countries. During COVID the number of remote employees exploded. I’m really curious how this goes down and who shows up in June.
What I really hate about open offices is the fishbowl effect. Having someone behind my back and staring at whatever's on my computer screen feels extremely uncomfortable.

I do a lot of technical drawings. It feels way different to be in an open workspace with a horizontal drafting board (which is what I would have had prior to the 1990s) than with a brightly-lit, vertical screen. You have more privacy, even in an open space.

Worth noting is that this is desktop only (and arrives June 6). They are not supporting passkeys on their mobile apps yet, and AFAIK there is no timeline announced for when that will happen.
I'm not sure that's true overall. Consider their strange design decisions with iPhone screens:

- They waited years longer than the competition to switch to larger screens. They only really got to it with the iPhone 6.

- They completely slept on OLED and stuck to LCD until the iPhone X, when all mid to high range Android phones had already used OLED for years. Their iPads still use LCDs for apparently no good reason (lower price presumably), around ten years after Samsung sold their first OLED tablets.

- They slept on the screen-to-body ratio. They were years behind their Android competition when they finally changed their course with the iPhone X.
On occasion that sounds nice. But usually I'd rather get somewhere faster than spending a lot more time in transit. And you can listen to music and podcasts while driving.
Hmm.. I just gave this a quick spin and I’m not sure how they can talk about editing workflows without a culling process. I get that it leans on the Photos app for organization but the photos app is also lacking in this department. I’m looking for basics like star ratings, pick/mark, and filtering on all of the above. Looks like I’m stuck paying Adobe for a little while longer :(
Thank you for this explanation. I've found that the QKV concepts are some of the most glossed over parts of attention and I'll be honest, some of the most confusing. Would you mind actually going into more detail on the questions you asked towards the end of your post? I vaguely understand how an embedding might get learned over time, but I don't understand how queries are "constructed" or how these three separate matrices get learned, or what kind of information is being encoded in them when they're learned. I also don't really understand how the value matrix itself is used.

Any further detail, even if it gets into some technical details would be very helpful and appreciated!
I really do think it's just that some index/ranking doesn't get updated for about 24-48 hours - it always seemed to me to be a system issue.

I'm willing to spend a lot on VR, but Apple would have to absolutely blow everything else out of the water at that price point. I have no doubt that a lot of Apple enthusiasts will buy them, but they've certainly chosen a specific market.

You could buy a full Index kit, get the wireless upgrade for it, and then a full Vive Pro kit and its wireless upgrade, and have spent about the same amount of money.
I live in New York City and even here I’m really not convinced most people under 45 have a will to get rid of cars. There isn’t a huge passion for them either, more like a resigned acceptance.

To add on, having a phone being your heavy computing device is a little silly if you think about it. It's essentially the smallest portable form factor people can conveniently carry around, connect to the internet, consume and send information.

A pair of glasses or monocle/power reader, wrist device with holo display or some other format makes much more sense as a way to interact with a portable computing device conveniently. The main bottleneck is hardware.
If that's the only use, probably. Although a lot of jobs in the Boston area are in the surrounding suburbs and commuter rail is mostly unsuitable for those for people who want to live in the city.

> open plan offices were the norm until the 1960s.

I remember visiting the workplaces of both of my parents in the 1970's and neither were anything like open plan. I know you said "1960s" but the buildings my parents were working in were well established at the time and had been there since, at least the 1960's.

Building giant parking garages ("commuting park and ride") is a failed concept and does not work. No one wants to live around a giant parking area and no one will walk through it to get to the train because there's no housing density nearby. Better to build high density housing around the station with little parking.

I have been diagnosed with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction related to stress. I take SSRIs for anxiety and depression. I've quit >10 jobs due to stress. I've read dozens of books, watched hundreds of videos, etc, and I'm always back to my ultra stressed state.

I've thought about living in the woods and other crazy stuff. I'd probably kill myself out of boredom.

Show HN: AI for Toddlers
I wanted to share a few AI related things I've made for my kids (ages 2 and 4). It's mind blowing that the tech didn't exist in a useful state a year ago and now I end up using it almost daily.

1. Story creator app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/custom-ai-stories/id1669159225 - iphone app to create and read stories. This uses the openAI API and Amazon Polly (text to speech). Icon generated by Midjourney. Recently the stories have been taking a bit longer than the estimate to generate, I think due to increased openAI API usage

2. Belle uses the potty book - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PBVZeM3PdDYQDF0VJrU-sRn6v43AqSmaqm-w-08Tmyo/edit?usp=sharing - the images were created using Midjourney. Most of the children's books I've made for the kiddos are on random financial topics without a main character so it was fun to try Midjourney for this one.

3. Children's book recommender - https://www.yes.ai/bookrec/?library=paloalto - GPT powered book recommendations with a link to get it from the local library.

4. AI robot - https://photos.app.goo.gl/3RnYVF1qCsbq3PbR6 - A raspberry pi powered voice interface for chatGPT. You push the button to ask it a question, it sends to openAI and then reads outloud the response. Speech to text isn't great on toddler voices so this hasn't been used as much as I had hoped.

5. textGPT - https://www.twilio.com/blog/text-ai-assistant-gpt-3-aws-lambda-twilio - I set up a phone number so I could text GPT as needed instead of using the web UI, I've used it for random things like suggesting nearby u-pick strawberry farms and answering questions about dinosaurs.

I'd love to hear what AI related things you guys are building.
Do people really even say that?
There are two aspects to this story.

For one, large arterials were placed where the most marginalized in society lived so that they couldn't protest. Historically black neighborhoods and poor white neighborhoods were flattened to accommodate large arterials.

The other is sprawl. Newer arterials, built after the problematic era, started out as state highways designed for transport. Once interstates were built, due to height and FAR limits in residential and commercial zones, new development sprawled out, sometimes onto these state highways which now had interstate alternatives. Naturally it was mostly low cost housing or commercial real estate as those are the most likely uses that would work adjacent to a large arterial.
For the same reason Russia invaded Ukraine: American interference.
All one has to do is charge a fare, enforce it, and other existing laws. Used to be a simple contract.

That was abandoned. While I was a long-term advocate of public transportation, no longer can recommend it. Certainly not for my family in this city.

Not like a “law and order” candidate is ever getting elected again in this state. Even a more compassionate version I’d support.

Unexpectedly Rio de Janeiro does this a lot better than California.
This undervalues convenience. The convenience of not having to worry about privacy-hostile default settings. Also, this will not work where the user is running applications from read-only media, or using something like "Guest mode" on a Chromebook where changes to settings are either not possible or ephemeral.

This sort of argument in defense of so-called "tech" company "default settings" shenanigans has been called out in recent litigation. Courts are becoming aware of the power and significance of "default settings".

It's this idea of "overkill", or other simialr rationales, that I am referring to in the original comment. Just enough "friction" to stop people from changing things. Not worth the trouble, people may think. And this works year after year. Amazing. Browser vendors were not the first in the computer industry to utilise this type of tactic, but it's a fine example.

Not sure who "you" refers to in the parent comment: me or a hypothetical person. If it's the former, I use a text-only browser that neither auto-load resources nor runs Javascript, along a localhost-bound proxy that strips or adds cookies. This is perfect for me. Both software I can change and quickly re-compile at any time. If it's the later, and "you" refers to a hypothetical person, then I cannot comment on behalf of such persons.

What I do know is that most users do not change default settings.
IIRC, the issue with plumbing is often sewage volume from cooking + showers and the like. There's a certain amount of load expected per floor of commercial space that is lower than for residential, and often commercial buildings literally don't have a hookup to the main sewer line large enough to accommodate residential use, and adjusting that can be immensely expensive.

It's also a question of what the trunk water/sewer line can handle. There's places in some cities where larger apartment buildings have to hold sewage in a tank and pump it out at night because the city pipes can't handle a normal load during normal hours.
There's so much speculation. People are declaring it's a game changer or a flop, while Apple hasn't even acknowledged its existence.
