My theory is that twitter is sentient, as in the human-algorithm system that makes it up can be considered a sentient entity, and for example it convinced a susceptible billionaire to buy it so it could better achieve it's ends. People worry about what we recently started calling AI (RL on top of autocomplete) which is not sentient and has no desires. That's silly. Twitter (and maybe others but it's more latent) is a full on dynamical system comprising millions of human brains orchestrated together algorithmically, and possesses sentience and goals, just as any one person does. Plus, though human agents, a means or acting on it's wishes. This is something to be extremely afraid of.
Huh, the always on display on my S23 non-plus was only a 10% battery hit over a day or so. Still disabled it, of course.

Also nice that they've finally added an option on Samsung phones to only charge to 85%, but it would be nice if it had smarter options like on iOS. Eg, an option to charge up to 100% just before you expect to wake up, so you have the full charge but it doesn't sit at 100% all night degrading the battery.

I'm sure enforcement is all over the map but commercial print shops absolutely won't wholesale copy stuff they think is a copyright violation. There was even a lawsuit against Federal Express a few years back because they were making money from copying Creative Commons non-commercially licensed material.

I've had a positive experience building a ChatGPT shell for Emacs [1]. Not having to context switch between the editor and browser is great. With Emacs being a text paradise, there are all sorts of possible integrations, like babel integration to elisp [2] or SwiftUI [3].

In addition to a shell, functions for inserting GPT responses can be pretty neat too. For example, creating org tables [4].

That's usually the final straw people will put up with a decent amount but once they realize how much time they're spending - bam.

And part of the problem is that the only real way to get competitive fair box recovery (which shouldn't really be a goal, imo) is to pack the vehicles to standing-room only, which makes it hard to read a book or do something else.
Animals (including humans) predict experiences, while language models only predict text. Text is not very closely linked to reality, while experiences are. So it is not surprising that we (humans) have a better sense of what we know than language models.

When I moved to Michigan I never realized that a suburb could not have a side walk. This is not uncommon in Michigan. That means that if you walk, or run, rollerblade, skate it has to be done in the street. Also lots of things are so much farther in Michigan than they were when I lived in Mass. In Mass I could go 3 miles in 30 minutes. In Michigan I can go 70 miles in 60 minutes
I’ve been using a Jupyter notebook from vscode as my primary interface to GPT lately. Ticks all the boxes for me.
Well I can't delve into too much detail yet but it includes a bunch of moving gears that aren't trivial to keep in place. So I'm trying to figure out some casings for the motor.

When I first read Tesla's writing last night, I began by just simply allowing my imagination to do a test run of building something. I first began by imagining a cylinder. I rotated the cylinder and observed the sharp edges. I didn't like that so I smoothed it out. Then I imagined a hollowed out cylinder with its edges smoothed out. How about adding a horizontal beam through it. Or maybe two? And what if they intersect. All of this I would imagine in my head.

Overall, it felt like a more versatile approach then spending hours tinkering with Freecad. I spent a bit more time coming up with models for my specific project before realizing it was 1:30 AM. WARNING: THIS METHOD WILL KEEP YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT FOR HOURS.

This is more than a minor update. I'm impressed by the improvements. I really like the way screenshots (and animated screenshots) make new features easy to explain.
> (The surprising part to me is that this is claimed to be a "very partial truth". In the multitudes of HN discussions of "cars evil" articles, this claim is almost always trotted out, and almost never challenged)

Yeah, you don't need a conspiracy to end up where we are. You just need cars to be very-beneficial to owners when most things aren't built up with car infrastructure and most people don't own cars (and they are! That's true!); and for us to start catering to that in our infrastructure-planning since, you know, it's better; and for there to be a hard-to-see-in-the-moment tipping point where suddenly everyone needs a car because everything's built with cars in mind and everything's very far apart now, but also everyone's worse-off, in precisely the ways that cars were suppose to improve things (time savings, especially), plus some others, than if we'd never had widespread private car ownership in the first place (which, there was such a tipping point, and we blew past it many decades ago). Self-interest takes care of the rest.
It's actually surprising to me how rarely blend modes are used on the web.

They're very easy to use, at this point have good cross-browser support, and look great!
It is for most customers. They're not buying a movie, they're buying a movie player that only plays Disney movies.

For me and you we can likely buy every console but most of this rivalry stems from the fact that most people buy one console.

In this case the PC is the overall winning choice imo, but it's too expensive for a top of the line model. In that case the PS5 takes the next spot and the overall best choice when affordability and simplicity* are factored in.

(PC can play pirated games and emulate many past consoles leading to vast overall savings but it requires a bit more technical know how then most consumers are used to. Also many consumers are not into piracy, but it is an option here)
I saw an interesting suggestion that copyright should just be for a given period at a given cost of registration... say first 10 years as-is, but if you want it longer, you pay X for N years, and it doubles each time you pay. I mean if Disney wants to pay $1B+ every few years to keep "Steamboat Willie" under copyright, let them. Eventually it will be cost prohibitive and enter the public domain.
What's going to happen is that all the ATS (applicant tracking system) SaaS vendors are going to toss this garbage in to make themselves seem more desirable. Companies will just be using the current ATS version without really thinking about the message that conveys. Oh brave new world that has such idiocy in it!

I'd imagine it would be leaked if they were actually doing it. The bug story holds up imo.
Do you think the monitor is $5,000 because of high margins? It’s not. It’s arguably a bargain for its target demographic.
That you would copy an image, apply a random filter, then call it your own and sell it, is ridiculous.

But the real scandal is that copyright survives the artist. Marvin Gaye, Andy Warhol... Dead guys. So called "estates"... Insects feeding on corpses.
Disney itself was built on the back on works in the public domain. Snow White, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book and Robin Hood were all based on public domain works.
Passkeys do not require the cloud. They require a local device such as a phone that has the passkey.
Yeah this definitely doesn't seem unreasonable. It's the same photo, just stylised. I think copyright should protect that.
> As prices for city apartments increase dramatically, people lose interest in living in those cities.

I would argue that the prices reflect at least an incredibly persistent demand to live in those cities.

Just for different reasons than before. For instance, since the pandemic many cities have invested heavily in bike infrastructure and pedestrianization. E-bikes have become extremely popular. And as the post-COVID reopening has progressed, people have been organizing local hobbyist meetups, many of them having acquired those hobbies during the depths of the pandemic.

There is a huge lifestyle appeal to living in cities, and it will not go away anytime soon. Cities need to recognize that both the massive increase in residential demand and the massive plunge in commercial demand are incredible opportunities to differentiate themselves by converting their dead-after-6pm business districts into thriving, walkable mixed-use hubs.
All Affinity software (AFAIK) these days makes extensive use of 3D graphics hardware. The problems you're experiencing may be due to insufficient systems memory, or perhaps insufficient video memory. The reason I'm suggesting this is because I have a very old Intel CPU in my system (6-core) 5820K and I'm pretty sure some of the CPU pins are bent because I only see 50-75% of the physical memory that's actually inside the system--and even with that, I never experience any of the problems you described. FWIW, I also upgraded my graphics card to an RTX 3090 with 24Gb of VRAM, when they were clearing out their inventories to make room for the 40x0 series at the end of last year--and I did it predominantly because the GTX 980ti I had been using until then "only" came with 6Gb of VRAM, which was reduced to less than 5Gb by Windows' window manager and was responsible for frequent hiccups and crashes involving 3D software.
I bet you didn't like elden ring or any of the dark souls games either. In general the clunky controls are a style of game and promotes a certain type of game play.

It turns off people who want instantaneous responsiveness, but there's another style of action game genre your missing out on if you don't develop the patience to master those controls.
I remember visiting Germany for work years ago, and was pleased to find that my hotel was literally on the same block as a tram/trolley that went to next door to the company; super nice Eurotransit done Right™ for the win!

A short walk from the hotel and a quick ride and I was there for the day; and when I mentioned it to the manager he was flabbergasted because the tram is for poor people he must give me a ride back in his Audi.

Which took twice as long hahahaha.
Thanks! I think we've merged them all hither.
US cities don't seem to offer much to endear their citizens to them. They are insanely over priced and about as fun to live in as a trash can. You can't get anywhere in them because cars are first class citizens and public transit is unbearably awful. The restaurants are all being destroyed by the commercial real estate market. Downtown is empty after 6PM because the only people who go there are working in stupid beige offices and they flee to suburbia at night.

* I remember visiting Los Angeles for Comic Con and the downtown was bleak. Restaurants closed at 8PM and the sidewalks were empty and noisy. It was just faceless office building and dead air. To get to anywhere interesting you needed to take the metro, and the trains stopped at 11PM...

* Austin is a freeway pretending to be a city... Their downtown is mostly just roads and cars.

* Phoenix wasn't much better, the roads were insanely wide and walking felt like taking your life into your own hands. People would make sweeping right turns across the sidewalk entrances to shopping centers at 35+ mph. You were either quick or dead.

* Little Rock barely had room for anything but cars. The sidewalks were super narrow and loud from all the people fighting over street parking spots. Riding my bike there was okay, but dangerous as all heck.
The withered technologies idea was Gunpei Yokoi’s vision for development, explained in these terms after he had left Nintendo. Yokoi has been dead 25 years at this point, and more recent strategies, like the Blue Sea idea, have a far more influential impact on Nintendo’s design ethos.
Thanks for your comment, but I'm still not convinced, at least until I see how you nest collections with this format.
I hear your killer features and don't care for them at all in any way to put on glasses for them.

An 8 hour train ride is outside of what is acceptable for normal train use. Up to about 5 hours on the train most people will prefer the train to flying. For short and medium distance trips trains have several advantages. The train is probably closer to your house and where you are going (air ports are way out on the edge of town in most cases, while train stations are closer to the center). You don't have the long wait for security for the train. You get more legroom on the train. For longer trips an airplane is worth those disadvantages, but not for shorter trips.
One of the problems, was that Warhol stole from Lynn Goldsmith, who is about as big-time a celebrity shooter as you can get. She's in the same league as Annie Leibovitz.

She was able to devote years and years, to get it all the way to the top.

Personally, I think it went the way it should, but I'm biased. My company worked with her, and I think she had a serious network; not just a single artwork. She's very popular, and has friends in high places.

Other photographers probably don't have the capabilities that she has. Many of them have probably licensed through outfits like Getty Images, who would probably go after folks that used their works, but if they didn't, I don't think the photographer would have a whole lot of recourse.
Can you give specific cases for people to reference?
Until you're poor you don't realize how cheaply you can keep a vehicle running, nor how many people are just driving around without insurance, license, and various other "necessities".

At this point, while I would be interested if Apple do actually announce a headset, I've heard this hype cycle so many times already I don't really believe it.

Also, so many previous pre-announcement visualisations of Apple products were so way off-base that even if a headset does get announced, it's got an equal chance of being a $400 Siri version of the Amazon Echo Frames as it does of being what's in this article.
Charging cables made it complex, but those aside everyone else gets 5Gbps and 3A, which is an incredibly solid baseline.

People love freaking out about the profusion of USB specs available, but the overall experience is magically great. Just stellar.

Usb has recently gotten a bit better about their new on-cable markings to make things clearer. But overall the baseline is so good.

Bit disingenuous about PC VR. There’s only 1 cable to the headset and if you have a decent rig the fans won’t be blasting. Big Screen’s new headset is going to blow Apple out of the water on weight, size and comfort too.

I think most large organizations created their own default environment. When I started college in 1993 we had a mix of Sun, DEC, HP, IBM, and SGI workstations. They all had a basic environment with mwm and menus configured for popular programs.

Linux 2.4 released in January 2001.

I remember circa 2004 I set up my non technical brother with one of the earliest versions of Ubuntu, after he kept getting malware on XP, and he didn't have difficulty with it. I was kind of surprised how easy it was. I was a debian and OpenBSD user at the time.
This device is going to have color passthrough vision. That means it has cameras on the outside, and then an image of the real world is shown on the inside. If you try to just directly display the video from the camera on the screen inside the user will throw up. You need to do a lot of processing to reconstruct what the user’s eyes need to see on the inside display, which probably includes a stack of analytic methods and ML inference that has to run in real-time and produce high-resolution video signal. Trust me that the engineers working on this are absolutely pushing the limits of what their hardware can do. The tradeoff space would include the following factors:

1) low quality passthrough is unpleasant

2) heavy headset is unpleasant

3) headset with weight imbalance is unpleasant

4) sensors, chips, and display all use power

5) battery with more capacity is heavier

6) battery with more power draw is hotter

7) hot headset in your face is unpleasant

8) battery at the end of a cord is ugly and annoying

So it’s easy to say “use a weaker chip”, but what if that means you have to degrade some must-have functionality? Or it means you have to wait 3 years for TSMC to come out with a smaller node before you can release your product? Battery on the end of a wire is a “bold” choice, probably an engineer won a cage match against an executive to make it happen.

Dedicated bike lanes are totally feasible in a sparsely populated suburb. After all, much larger and more expensive car lanes are already in place. The main problem is that city planners don't even think about it.

Recently there's been a surge of 5-over-1 apartment complexes replacing old businesses and houses along my suburb's main road. Great, more dense housing, that's good. The main road has painted bike lanes in the middle of town, and dedicated multi-use paths further out in each direction. For some of these complexes, they had to tear up the road and sidewalk to add safe entrances. Not only did they NOT add more multi-use paths, but they actually approved the buildings to be closer to the road than ordinances typically allow, making a multi-use path unlikely to ever be put in.
It's one of those things that doesn't get noticed when it works well, which we hope is most of the time. That has an amusing side effect: the cases that people notice are the ones that they don't like—those stand out like sore thumbs—and this creates the feeling that the title edits are always annoying and wrong. Which is true, if you don't count any of the good cases!

Thus most of the comments about HN's title editing system (software + mods) are about how awful and obviously terrible it is, and comments like yours here are rarities.

In the end this is all priced in, so to speak, to HN's system. The main thing is that the front page be mostly free of misleading and/or linkbait titles and gimmicks. pg used to describe it like this: we want the front page of HN to look bookish. That is, it should look interesting to people who like to read, and look boring to people who don't.

The Warhol was previously presumed to be “transformative” work due to Warhol’s reality distortion field. I’m not trying to be facetious, warhol’s “Campbell soup” genuinely transformed the imagery/iconography of a Campbell’s soup can for his generation. And “transformative” makes it not infringement, legally.

But removed from that transformative force, it’s clearly copyright infringement. So by 2023, things look different.
