My argument was and is that specifically and narrowly in conversations about AI and its impacts on the livelihoods of people, calling for empathy from others is deliberate emotional manipulation with the objective of cudgeling people into compliance. It's also often a rallying cry, used to de-legitimize the positions of their counterparts as cold, uncaring, unfeeling, and devoid of humanity. Common enough ad-hominem material, though obviously fully emotionally justified.

The only broader comment I offered was that I have worked with a number of people who operate that way on a daily basis. I understand why. It helps them hit their professional goals, ensuring their livelihood and those of their families. Many of them see a resistance to these tools as a lack of respect for their skills, abilities, hard work, or reasonable economic interests.

As to personal respect - how prepared are you to see respect in someone saying they understand but disagree? I can both understand the impact of my words on other people and refuse to shift my position because of their emotional response. Many others may not react as well as you to a compassionate, empathic, kind, caring, and understanding essay arguing that creatives feeling threatened by AI should seriously consider a change of career.
1. Your proposal is not enough for EU privacy law, so you'd still see banners. First-party tracking is still tracking and you still need a banner if you're going to store any data on the client that is not "strictly necessary" for the user's request.

2. Your proposal gives a pretty crummy experience in cases where users do expect the site to store data on the client longer. For logins you're popping up a confusing banner, and for client-side only storage (shopping carts, preferences, work in progress) you're silently discarding people's work.

It's not triggering. It's not even "I'm offended" meaning of triggering that college students may use.

You've taken a term that was used by people to indicate a serious gutteral negative reaction and used it to mean something so watered down and vaguely possibly less than positive.

That's a feature. Typically you can't do this for most modern consoles.

I fail to see how you could "disrupt" something like cooling solutions in the way I believe your post implies.

First, the ability to remove large volumes of heat from a DC (or analogous plant) is largely dependent on the local geography/environment. In modest cases, that may come down to average ambient temperatures and the cost of electricity. In more extreme cases, access to a massive heat sink such as a body of water may be necessary.

Second, the technology used to evacuate heat is very mature. The modern world depends on HVAC and has for a very long time. While there are incremental advances such as new refrigerants and compressor technology, there is always a cost to performance tradeoff.

Note that the theoretical limit on cooling performance (CoP) of a Carnot engine is ~7.8. Check out this report by the IEA (page 43)

Perhaps in some cases, but the ones I worked with pre- and post-promotion didn't really change what they were doing over that period. What I'm saying is that titles are fluid, not fixed, in meaning. They can be inflated or deflated according to an org's mood.
Interesting. How were you agreeing with me? This doesn’t make sense.
What a load of over generalised nonsense.
I agree I don't think it'd help Putin or anything, I'm just saying that if they took Ukraine, he'd add another 42 million people to the 133 million he already rules over. That's about a third more people to rule over, and he's not concerned about the later years of a peasant Russian. I assume he's concerned with more able bodied young men, which, ironically is a cohort he lacks while he tries to capture the country he's trying to obtain to help with that problem.

> However, as the idea of "programming makes money" became more well known, and bootcamps + college both upped their game, more and more people started coding just with the hopes to make money. To get good enough to make money, not care about "huh, how does the bootloader actually work" or "Why did chrome just crash, let me open up gdb...".

To me, bootcamps are a complete red flag when considering candidates. I don't think I ever saw a single good hire out of a bootcamp (and we just flat out stopped interviewing them at one point because the signal to noise ratio just became too low).
Simple CRDTs are surprisingly simple. If you don't need text the complexity drops off quite quickly.

I just ripped yjs out of a personal project and replaced it with something I wrote from scratch. Getting exactly the semantics I want is nice. For example it's easier to make compound properties update atomically. A good place to get started is one of the figma founders' blogs: https://madebyevan.com/algos/crdt-fractional-indexing/

You'll notice if you use Figma that it's mostly last-writer-wins fields. That seems to often turn out to be the ideal UI and it's the simplest to implement. If you the text to green and I set it to red the right answer isn't yellow.
Can someone explain where this recent flurry (last 2 years or so) of anti-car evangelism has come from?

The Wii is actually a perfect example of that philosophy. It was built using outdated, underpowered tech, but in spite of that, was a huge success because they did something unusual and innovative with it.

Not enemy, adversary. A much softer claim and one I'm pretty sure has been taken for granted for a while.
Yeah, quid pro quo literally means "one thing for another thing". The ambiguity of the "for" led to divergent evolutions.

The "pro" (for) can be either mean "instead of", "in the place of" (One thing in the place of another thing). This is where the interpretation currently used in Italy and possibly other places settled on.

But "pro" (for) also means "for the benefit of" and that's the interpretation that caught on in the Anglosphere.

If you're coming from a low income country and are in a life situation where you're willing to put up with worse living situation and more restrictive workers rights for a while to put aside money and then leave, coming to the UK is still an opportunity, so it's entirely unsurprising there's still a net inflow even though a lot of us are either leaving or considering it (I have family here that'll keep me here for a few more years, but once my son is no longer living between mine and his mums I likely won't stay long).

I do not believe calling Steam Deck a clone of the switch is a truly charitable argument or characterization of the product. The Steam Deck is an infinitely moddable PC that play your steam library on the go. It's been long needed, but exists with a different consumer persona than steam deck.
> The other extremely clever thing Nintendo did with the NES was to put the video bus on the cartridge, and this enabled them to expand the console's apparent capabilities by adding new features to game paks.

Can you imagine putting the video card in every copy of a game now? What a time that was.
Similarly, Twilight Princess should have been released earlier for the GameCube but was then released on GameCube and Wii simultaneously.
Just give more examples.

Look a doctor, consult a doctor, supervise a doctor, all sound the same, have same phonic transcript, in Japanese, only differ in the Kanji/Chinese character. Either you extend the sentence and write more words, or show that you are sick and have runny nose, otherwise it is hard to convey idea clear without Kanji/Chinese characters.

Often you will see people talk in Japanese will say "erh!?" then stop and both of them are confused. Half of the reason is that people are just guessing what their component trying to convey but as the conversation goes longer and having more context info, they found that they are not talking about the same thing.

With lesser context info e.g. situation, places, visual clues, emotion, intonation, harder you can comprehend.
IDK, it seems like only a subset of people could have predicted it. People who think remote work isn't good wouldn't have predicted it. People who thought it was good might think it was just accelerating the inevitable.

I'd guess there are still a lot of people who think returning to office life is inevitable. There's certainly a big push for it from a certain subgroup now.
Show HN: Deks – a knowledge-sharing platform for tech creators
Hi!

We're working on a mobile app called deks.

It's a shortform content platform for tech professionals and entrepreneurs, with a twist — every story is distilled to a few short cards (under 500 characters each), designed to be read in seconds.

The app on iOS devices: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1638375444

We want to focus on two types of content for now:

- news and articles about the tech industry, created by our editorial team and guest contributors. Think of it as your daily TL;DR for everything that matters in tech.

- networking. Users are encouraged to tell about their work, share insights, post job listings or announce new features.

We hope to help users cut through the noise thanks to the short form nature of our content, but also enable them to share their ideas as effortlessly as possible.

Here's a small demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSxE669iOG0

More info is available on our website: http://deks.app or join our Discord: https://discord.gg/zcW7QNNs6E

I did read the article, no it's not a genuine piece of hardware, they changed the microcontroller.

And by the way, it's also possible to do the same exact thing in an iPhone right now, somebody could totally hook up a microcontroller with a microphone straight to the battery.

If you want to go all the way, you can also replace the whole device straight with a fake iphone and record everything.
Basically. There are a ton of logistical problems, but a major one is that the big office buildings in Midtown have a lot of interior space with no windows, and apartments need windows.

> But if they don't hand over the money to China? Well, no one lends money to you anymore.

> If you were the leader of a country, what is preferable? Giving up property and/or territory which allows you to continue borrowing so the people in your country can buy food and gas, or protecting the territory but the people in the country starving and running out of energy to run their businesses?

What would be preferable? To default. I'm serious. I mean otherwise what are your critiques about in this thread at all. Should the original loans have been agreed to? If not, why not? Money is coming in after all and if that is the only concern than what is the problem with the original loans.

Besides the fact that China won't loan to them in the future is maybe assured, but I don't see why it's assured they couldn't get loans from others. Though it's true that others maybe won't loan money under conditions where they can't make any repayment. Or maybe the others won't loan the money under conditions where it just disappears due to corruption. Sounds...good?

> where the state's deficits are consuming all newly generated wealth PLUS the wealth generated by previous generations

Why focus solely on the state's deficits? To me, this is exactly the situation we currently have with housing - asset inflation for the past few decades has outstripped real growth, and now housing debt/rent is consuming an ever-growing amount of newly generated wealth.

(The debt/rent payments go to someone else, but the payments on sovereign debt do so as well. The point is they leave the system under discussion)
The graphics and power competition existed ever since Sega entered the ring. To be honest, the console wars are more nuanced than that. The N64 had superior graphics to PS1, but the lack of discs meant publishers had to spend $10-15 in wholesale costs on cartridges (vs <$1 for CDs), and due to the ROM tech at the time, they couldn't ship games much larger than 64MB (and even that size required additional expensive chips). Squaresoft famously bailed on Nintendo platforms as a result of the game size issue.

GameCube's proprietary "micro-DVDs" also meant limited game sizes compared to PS2. And PS2 could play DVDs, which was a strategic advantage at the time. With both Sony and Microsoft now competing for hardware dominance, however, it became a tougher position for Nintendo to hold, plus the company was not willing to sell consoles at a loss (as I believe both Sony and Microsoft did at first, to gain adoption).

So both N64 and GameCube were limited in significant ways, and it cost Nintendo its market dominance. The Wii was an example of Nintendo taking the console tech in a totally different direction than its peers, explicitly focusing on motion controllers and casual gamers. It was a smash hit, but eventually the novelty of the Wii wore off. The Wii U was a flop. The Switch successfully blended their portable and console offerings.
Having such a permanent law would be constitutionally iffy. The power to borrow money that is part of the US national debt is specifically reserved for Congress, and this is essentially part of what makes the United States a democracy in the first place: only the body made up of the country's elected representatives can tax and borrow in the name of the country. (Other countries have similar restrictions, though not necessarily debt caps; for example, in the UK Parliament must passs a budget each year or the government effectively cannot finance itself and continue operating. This would probably not work well in the USA because Congress has trouble passing budgets reliably.)
It's an entirely meaningless declaration that carries 0 real weight, because foreign policy is exclusively in the federal government's ballpark.

All it means is that "the people of Montana really don't like China", but more officially.

Really good article! I like how it framed simplicity and complexity of apps, and how users want to stay in a certain zone.

I know the example was trite but future UIs will just allow the user to type or speak what they're trying to do. For example coloring in the circle/triangle will literally require you to say just that.

I think part of it is caused by a growing awareness that we can't have good car infrastructure and good public transportation infrastructure ("can't" in the sense of "not enough political will", rather than "not physically possible").

People want good public transportation, and they recognize that they aren't going to get it in a car-centric society
Man people talk... a lot. Complain about cars, postulate on 15 minutes cities, clamor for railways... Meanwhile I've owned three cars in my life, maybe driven 1-2 years total. I lived on the Oregon Coast and then moved to the Treasure Valley in Idaho and the last car I owned was in maybe 2010?
Be the change you want to see in the world. It's that simple. If I can do it where I've lived then I have a hard time believing others can't or that they need regulations or specific infrastructure or something else from the top down. These days with rideshares, smart phones, electric personal transport, etc it is MUCH easier now than it was 10 or 15 years ago.
So what exactly is stopping anyone? The situation is never gonna be conducive to your exact wants and needs but you can and should make at least a small carless change today or even if it's just skipping the car to the next trip to the grocery store.
