You can't rely on this in real time because urban canyons make it hard to get consistent cell signal (for one thing), but you can definitely improve your models on this data once the data's been uploaded to your offline systems, and some SDC companies do this.
You can use Dvorak and QWERTY together.

I’ve been using Programmers Dvorak together with QWERTY for 10+ years. Whenever I need to use common shortcuts I switch layouts with a simple shortcut, and sometimes do this dance a few times if a few seconds subconsciously as needed.

Typing speed is unimportant, it’s the reduced strain that is the main benefit.
Perchance they will not need us for sustenance, and still breed, imprison and kill us, because "hmmm, human bacon".

There'll probably also be some weirdos campaigning the idea of not harming humans unnecessarily, but that's probably too extreme.

I'll offer one example: Neo-Fisherism and New Keynesianism directly contradict in their assessment of the impact of interest rates on inflation.

https://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/2016/november/neo-...

It appears that the relationship between interest rates and inflation is still an open question in economics, which is kind of fascinating, because it's like trying to drive a moving car when the relationship between the speedometer and the brake pedal is still being debated by experts.

There are similar debates when it comes to employment. Is a high level of employment inflationary? The established wisdom of the Phillips curve is that it is, because low unemployment leads to high labour bargaining power which leads to wages rising faster than productivity, which results in inflation. But there are many economists wondering if it's not the other way around, because people are employed to produce in-demand goods, while unemployed people don't produce goods but still need to eat. These unresolved questions create questions around the inflationary impacts of eg. a jobs guarantee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_guarantee) relative to a universal basic income (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income) have some economists arguing for and others against. There is no widespread consensus about the outcomes of such policies.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about the broken window strategy.

HN is a nice dopamine hit as 40k people hit your landing page in one go, but it very quickly needs to be replaced with consistent marketing effort, or you'll start to believe your idea has no legs.
Whenever my aunts would come to visit, they and mom would go into the den and chain smoke, drink coffee, and chat. Figure three ladies, each smoking a couple of cigarettes in a couple of hours, that's like an AQI in the low thousands, off the scale high.
I had a long discussion with Rob Pike once that ended with me saying "you know, I don't think people actually use Strassen on supercomputers" (we were discussing how somebody had managed to show an N*2.37 algorithm or something like that and "it was a new world's record").
This is such moronic thinking. It's cliche by now
How did you solve the Shortcuts problem? I really gave Dvorak a good shot, but it completely failed when I was using auto cad CAD.
I seriously thought about bidding on that ebay auction when it came up - I'm glad it went to a far better place! Good luck to him indeed - growing up in that time Computer Shopper was the logical progression from the Sears Wishbook.
Perhaps, but I stumbled upon it and found it strangely interesting (though I don't like spiders). I had no idea such a thing existed.

It seems that rather than being automatic, the mother decides if her young need this additional help, so in a way it's a conscious decision.
It’s not dead on arrival as it’s purpose is not to be a massive consumer success. It’s purpose is to get the ball rolling, it is an early adopter release that will get developers started, and that may have some useful purpose for some pro use cases where cost and size is not an issue.

Apple is most likely already working on versions 2 and 3 and maybe 4 that will be smaller, more powerful and more useful. Technology just needs time to develop, building a consumer version is just not possible with todays technology,
This is an excellent comment and I will agree that we really fucked the dog. I love how “fucked the dog” is the one bit of slang that Canadians can always use to identify each other online.

All of this convinces me that we need more diversity in city and town councils. For better or for worse, many city councils have been largely composed of realtors. However, we have reached a point where we need software developers, anti poverty activists, environmental activists and the like on councils. More diverse opinions can only help us achieve sustainable growth and avoid a far greater housing crisis.

I use Colemak-DH and learned it through the Tarmak progression. RSI is probably the wrong reason to learn Colemak. It made little difference for me and as far as I know there is no scientific evidence that it helps.

Better: get an adjustable table and chair and ensure that they are correctly configured. Take regular breaks and do exercises. Get a keyboard that is split (to ensure that your wrists are not bent) and tented (to put our wrists at a more comfortable angle). Bonus points for column stagger. For me, switching to a Kinesis Advantage improved a lot to the point where I pretty much pain free.

That goes for any modern car after 2021. Most of them have built-in mics and are connected 24/7 even when the owner doesn't install a SIM card.

The rational is that you always get road assistance when needed. Never trust that conversations inside a modern car are private.
Hi (one of the maintainers here), that is a good suggestion! I wasn't aware of that project. I went ahead and made an issue to add `export DO_NOT_TRACK=1` as one of the variables we track! https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft/issues/1015

this is awesome! Not sure if you saw our hardware bridge, but it's custom built specifically for DoorKing units to bring them online and what not. I'll drop you a note now.
The US would also take breaks where they greatly reduced immigration levels in order to let things "settle" a bit, instead of running it full throttle with no end in sight.

AND of course, birth rates were significantly higher, which is what drove a lot of growth. Which can be accommodated much easier from a housing stock perspective, as mentioned earlier. The situation today isn't exactly the same.
>imagine a Sim City or Civilization game on the Vision Pro. THAT would be a ton of fun.

Why? No, seriously, why? People say this as if it is a given, but how would VR improve a game serious that is built around strategy as it's main selling point. How does VR improve Civ as a game? In fact, there are very few genres and types of games that the immersion VR brings is worth the limitations: Weird controls, isolation, headaches, wearing a mask, expense, physical exertion etc.

I'm so tired of people who don't seem to know anything about either video gaming or VR gaming parroting this empty hype of how VR magically makes all games better.

VR is a peripheral, not an advancement in rendering technology.
The Swedish government didn't say that, some researcher did, and it was talked about in the public service news, afaik. The part of the government they asked on the topic said it was unsafe to have sensitive conversations in any brand of car.

I'm not sure Bard and GPT-4 are quite an apples-to-apples comparison though.

GPT-4 is restricted to paying users, and is notable for how slow it is, whereas Bard is free to use, widely available (and becoming more so), and relatively fast.

In other words, if Google had a GPT-4 quality model I'm not sure they would ship it for Bard as I think the cost would be too high for free use and the UX debatable.
Yeah I don't think laptops should be sold at all with 512GB -- I think that's as absurd of a product as a laptop with 128GB. Personally I spec out 2TB and judge price value based on that.

So the speed issue doesn't affect me personally. I just wish they wouldn't sell that model and then it wouldn't affect anyone.

This has been an issue for so long, why don't they just let you attach a custom domain to a normal account? Paywall it behind the Google One subscription if you must, it would still be an improvement over having to deal with the needlessly bloated admin interface (for single-user purposes) and randomly being locked out of features that haven't been cleared as "business ready" yet.

Imagine, you’ve never seen modern technology, say you are a kid in a very poor country. And then a helicopter flies into your village and starts shouting air-to-ground missiles.

We might end up in a position of that kid, when “helicopters” built by such an AI will fly in.

Don’t underestimate of what you don’t know and what is achievable with the right knowledge and technology. It might be a difference of a level of a villager and a level of technological civilization able to build a helicopter.
This sounds like too much work. Just use the phone of the old lady across the street.
I would agree with you if it was t for the fact that we’ve seen a big increase in the number of complex maps being made since the change.

You give people a more powerful product and they’ll use the power.
yep if you could find a way to engage kids and keep them talking, even for ~5 minutes, this would be such a huge win for parents encouraging language-learning
Hey! Thank you for taking the time!

1. Wanna go full-in on customization. Right now you can customize by telling the teacher what you want to talk about, but I can imagine in the near future the AI figuring where you stand and adapting as you go along. Matter of (coding) time.

2. You're right. I will add translations and audio to the suggestions. Something more urgent always came up but your feedback helps prioritize this.

3. Could you expand on this? Do you mean in terms of waiting for the answer? I've experience slowdowns when OpenAI is over capacity but generally it works well. Do you mind sharing where you used it from (country)?

4. Thank you, this is encouraging.

Super excited about all this!
Although Lisp spoils you for other languages, but it also crystalizes and clarifies the other languages. As you enjoy the latter, the former will fade.

By clarifies what that means is that if something is being done badly in some language, your mind has a reference model for that being done well. That model can guide you around the distracting crap. It also gives you a vocabulary for talking about and thinking about it.
> tyranical illegal secret structure

In what way something secret would be tyranical ? Illegitimate, ok, but not tyranical.
Also, a lot of restrictions on development are coming from affordable housing groups, who don’t want any development unless it’s affordable, or (if condos) includes some affordable units.
It’s a tool. Don’t want the tool? Don’t use it. There are absolutely going to be use-cases for it, even if Baudrillard would prefer we all just use our imaginations.

Who needs a car when all we need is to just stroll amongst the trees and let nature fuel our imaginations? Because I need to get to the airport on time and with a bunch of luggage.
The answer is wrong though (not just because it's missing leading zeros, but perhaps you didn't copy the right input?) and it's certainly not the shortest way to output that.

I would be a bit more nuanced than that. I think it's OK if libraries change process state as long as they restore it as it was before the library call returns. And as long as this behavior is clearly documented.
I'd love to give it a try as well (as a paying OpenAI customer, and as a paying Google customer). It seems European Union isn't good enough of a market to launch it for Google. Google just doesn't have resources OpenAI has, it seems.
Moldova... maybe.

Poland has been in NATO for a while now; non-starter unless he wanted WW3. And those would be NATO regulars in the mix, not kelptocrats in NATO hand-me-downs.
There is a lot of land, but I think not enough to keep up with the demand. Not that this is the primary driver of the housing crisis, but I think it's a contributing factor.
They say they aren’t and don’t have a history like Google and Amazon.

I don’t trust them completely, but I give them more trust than Google where their business model is contingent on collecting these data from everything they can.
Have you tried a VR "Big screen" experience? It's a massive gimmick. It's not special. The quality of what you are looking at is lower than using a nice monitor, and sitting in some empty environment that hosts this big screen is dumb.
The real lesson of Snowden's revelations is that almost nobody actually cares that they're being spied on. (I certainly don't.)

Edit: OK, here's some actual data on this and a little less hyperbole. "Almost nobody" is wrong. But it's not obvious that most Americans care.

* On most questions about surveillance Americans are pretty evenly divided (it's about 50/50 for/against government surveillance and wiretapping)

* On the question of monitoring non-citizens Americans are broadly supportive (80% in favor)

* When you ask people about their own data they actually turn out to be less concerned than if you ask them about surveillance in the abstract (a majority are "unconcerned" about surveillance in that context)

The same reasons you can't just inline everything in a program, but break things into functions, modules, etc. Complex CI systems are, in my experiences, built up from components that are reused across multiple project builds and need to be encapsulated in a way that they can be plugged into any of those. Each component is containerized and caches as much as possible at each step, but that is still a lot of overhead.
I did, but didn't end up trying it. Being able to hire a Spring dev for $10 p/h vs several times that for a golang dev (plus time learning a particular codebase) just means it doesn't make sense to use Go if you want to outsource in future.

I plan to run multiple experiments in parallel, keep working the day job and outsource the ones that take off. So the more standardised I can make the tech stack, the faster and cheaper dev work will be.
It's like... a drop down, though.
So whenever you are constantly typing, you move to Dvorak? Otherwise you are in QWERTY?
Sounds like it already is containerized, and that's the problem? A lot of places have CI setups that don't cache things anymore for various reasons. A while back there was a new YC startup announced whose product was essentially a SaaS for building Docker containers where they cache things for you.

Another cause of this problem is when CI workers are spun up and down on demand in the cloud, so VMs are constantly being set up from scratch.
Yeah it’s wild. Overcharging people for a custom Gmail domain seems like a really nice little revenue stream.
I read this article, and Weber's original article that had so many people riled up. I don't see a strong case being made for how price controls would solve the current situation. I'm not against it, but the devil is in the details, so I would like to see some more details.

On a broader topic, a lot of economic theories amount to wishful thinking. You can make an impressive case for almost any crazy idea, and even come up with a model that works, and which you say matches current conditions. Economists portray what they do as very rigorous and scientific, but the reality is that a lot of the time they're mounting an argument for what they believe, not doing science. It's hard for a lay person to tell the difference a lot of the time.
> There are whole towns in the United States that were built in a year during the baby boom. It is possible whether or not the government is willing to make it happen is a completely different issue.

Ultimately everything is a matter of willingness, but the world has also changed. More regulations, more bureaucracy, more money involved, more planning. It's the reason why we could definitely build the Hoover Dam again today, but definitely not in five years or for as little as we originally spent.
Thank you! Turkish (along with Japanese and Chinese) has been on my mind for a while. If I know people will use it, I'll add it. Will try to add Turkish within 24 hours.

I’m cherry picking but A vs CNAME is incredibly simple, just not something most keep in their mind since you usually set it and forget it. As an aside, my guess is the recall rate would be a lot higher amongst people if the record types had better names instead of “A” and “CNAME”. Something like “Name-to-ip” and “Name-to-name” seem to be far better (I’m sure I’m missing nuance, like what do we call ALIAS, etc. but you get the point).

I guess to your core point I’m ok with there being different levels of engineers. Like any field once it becomes large enough there are opportunities for the deeply technical polymaths, the superficial tradesmen, and everyone in between. It’s just important that whoever’s hiring identify which level they want and hire accordingly. I’ve met plenty of people of both varieties so it’s not like the true “masters” of tech are dying out.
As Snowden said himself:

"Privacy is the right to a free mind," Snowden said. "Without privacy, you can't have anything for yourself. Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." Mar 28, 2016

It is a huge pain to worry about your privacy all the time and I make many tradeoffs, but I fully support and am glad that others take it very seriously.
Again, Reddit leans left of the general population.

Again, this doesn’t preclude there being a multitude of political affiliations on Reddit.

But ok.
> The capitalist system doesn't preclude workers from acquiring capital or capitalist from working.

In the same sense that the US electoral system doesn’t preclude more than two viable parties. The system of property rights that defines capitalism doesn’t specify any limit, but the structure it creates promotes it in function.

> The conceptual systems introduced by Marx and others is that only workers can own capital

No, the conceptual system introduced by Marx rejects the concept of ownership as applied to capital [0], though it favors workers exercising control of the capital to which their labor is applied. Different variants derived from this and related ideas have different specific mechanism for this exercise of control.

[0] When Marxists talk about rejecting/abolishing “private property”, it refers to this, because in the Marxists terminology “private property” refers not to property of non-state individuals and entities in general as it does in current common use, but specifically to property rights in the means of production, i.e., capital.

What you call "code golf" is the essence of the natural sciences:

Shortly after this was merged to main (though under feature flag) another dev had to fix something and commented something like “I just fixed X in two minutes which would have taken me hours before”

I’ve seen legal advice to avoid deploying LLMs to EU and adjacent users. This might be a result of that.
Yeah, I think this sums up every Dvorak debunking story that pops up on HN twice a year. You can type 100 WPM with two fingers as seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqyiyh_hrUs so layout does not matter too much for speed. You can see his physical movement does not appear superhuman, and this is well above average typing speed of 40 WPM.

Debunkers: It's not any faster!

Dvorak users: We know, and we don't care.

One nice improvement is applying a constraint. Bard will now give a valid answer for "give a swim workout for 3000m" that correctly totals 3k, while chatgpt does not.
I can totally understand why he made the decisions he made and I might have made the same decisions if I were in his situation. That doesn't change that the decisions were hypocritical and morally compromised.

I've grown field corn the last several years with ~100 plants. While I did not plant in a wind-pollinating maximizing way, my experience is that anyone who is planting at home scale needs to be ready to hand pollinate. I would be shocked if 10-20 plants, no matter how they were planted and what the wind conditions are, would have particularly high pollination rates.

> if you had a driving sim wheel and 4 monitors for each direction + 3 smaller ones for rear view mirror, connected to a real world car with sufficiently high definition cameras, you could probably drive the car remotely as well as you could in real life, all because the images would map to the same latent space.

I disagree. When in a car, we are using more than our eyes. We have sound as well, of course, something that we provide feedback even in the quietest cars. We also have the ability to feel vibration, gravity and acceleration. Sitting in a sim without at least some of these additional forms of feedback would be a different skill.
