I've also used for dvorak for a long time...over 15 years. I've never changed keycaps. If you're looking at your fingers while typing qwerty, learning to type dvorak on a qwerty keyboard might just be useful in that it will force you to stop looking at your keyboard and you'll find a speed up in typing just from that!

For me the learning process was very similar to learning a foreign language. At first it was hard, but once I started to get fluency in dvorak, typing in qwerty was hard for a while...but then at some point my qwerty typing ability came back and switching between the two layouts is as easy as switching computer or human languages. (when you know them fluently).

To address your fear, yes, there will a period in the learning process where your fingers get confused switching back and forth but once you get past that it goes away and switching becomes second nature.
Hah! This is very quirky and interesting, connecting it so close to the metal is an odd choice but cool.

Back in the day Safari + uBlock was one hell of an efficient browser on my macbook. I miss those days.
First of, this is completely off-topic, since the whistleblower reports being briefed on non-human technology in possession of the US, which is being intensively studied. Further, their related "sightings" are corroborated by multiple sensor systems simultaneously. And multiple pilots as well.

Now, your idea of hallucinations being an explanation for such sightings, obviously impossible due to said sensors systems in the first place, is utter bogus since not only do you not have "strong priors" in such a situation, you also do not employ people suffering from hallucinations as pilots for mulit-million dollar fighter jets to begin with.

Your article finally describes an entirely different phenomenon than "seeing an object consistently for an extended period of time". Which is what is relevant here.
It'd be interesting to see if they're sensitive enough to do the opposite detect the gravity anomaly that is the sub. There's a couple near future submarine warfare books where that's one of the devices used to attempt to find subs.
I misspoke. A handful of triple A games. Most of which don't perform so well even on high end intel machines due to thermal throttling.
The UI for the platform is very slick. I like that there are option to build apps alongside conversing with the documents feature. It can be a great way for people to show their innovations.
Agreed. It's like they could have written this before the device was announced.

The first iPhone wasn't the first touchscreen smart phone, but it was the first one that was truly appealing to the masses. We've seen the impressive sales numbers for the quest, now we just have to see if Apple can beat them. My money is on Apple beating Meta for multiple reasons.
They also have the most ridiculous markups I've ever seen. We went rug shopping and my wife found a rug she liked. Price tag? $35,000! The salesman "liked us so much" he was willing to drop it to $10,000. I asked him a question he had to go look up, and when he did I snapped a picture of the label, before telling him we had to think about it overnight. Found the exact same rug online for $500 delivered, and that is what now sits in our living room.
Apple makes wrong moves all the time. However, post jobs return, they are one of the few companies that stick with their core products long enough to course correct.

Emphasis on core because someone will send me a list of ancillary stuff that got cut as part of the course corrections.

Imho this doesn’t have to be an Apple only thing, but other companies tend to throw in the towel much quicker. That’s why people remember Apple products as successful and defunct competitors as not. The competitors often got out at the low instead of iterating another few generations.

I’m actually really impressed at Meta sticking through with their devices for so long despite the heavy losses they’re incurring YoY.
The person on the plane in the WWDC vid had airpods in. I guess they pair.

There are still significant artifacts from Carthage and the city rose back very quickly. My guess is that the same-same of war happened: The elite were killed but the rest of the population was spared. Rome probably spread this rhetoric to embolden its image. Let's just say this was a different time.
From an earlier blog post[1], the system for synchronizing file/document state is independent from their database. As I understand it, their database is for metadata rather than actual document content.

> It’s worth noting that we only use multiplayer for syncing changes to Figma documents. We also sync changes to a lot of other data (comments, users, teams, projects, etc.) but that is stored in Postgres, not our multiplayer system, and is synced with clients using a completely separate system that won’t be discussed in this article. Although these two systems are similar, they have separate implementations because of different tradeoffs around certain properties such as performance, offline availability, and security.

This post[2] goes into more detail on how they spin up backend processes to serve as the source of truth while documents are open (we took heavy inspiration from it when building https://plane.dev, which aims to be an open-source implementation of that architecture.)

Yes it does but we also have satellites mapping those shifts so it could be accounted for. The big question is are those fine grained enough to resolve the errors in modern INSs.
Perhaps we need a sort of jury duty for content moderation where you are somehow held accountable for your actions and decisions.

I would be fine occasionally contributing some moderation to a community I am an active member of. I find I already have to do some of that on my workplace Slack when people get aggressive with the @here tag reaching the entire company when they really want one of 5 people.
Agree with lotsofpulp about the sales being valid.

I have found that Costco prices are not always the lowest, but that still doesn't always mean they're a bad deal. While in an ideal world, anywhere you can pick up a Brand X product Y, it should be the same, that's not actually the case anymore. (I presume Wal-Mart didn't create this reality, but they have had a disproportional role in propagating it.) Of all things, I notice that the canned black olives I buy at Costco are consistently a step up from the exact same brand at my local megamart. So even though they aren't actually that much cheaper I still prefer to buy them there.
we've been through this commentary all before with the iPod, iPhone, iPad... the people they have write these articles are always too young to remember

I don't find this argument compelling at all, because I can't think of a historical example where fiat currency prevented coordination of antigovernment people.

I also find it interesting that the pro-cryptocurrency argument centers around being antigovernment. So it's a political thing, not a practical thing. That automatically means cryptocurrency has no chance of mainstream adoption. People who don't agree with the politics of it will avoid it because they don't want to be associated with those politics.
Eating whole cake means you consume fat at the same time as the sugar, so the latter is metabolized more safely.
The M2 Max is closer to the 3060 than it is to the 3060 Ti, let alone 3070. And those numbers are quite possibly overly optimistic; workloads essentially never reach peak tflop, and I would not be surprised if practical workloads are better matched to nvidia's architecture than apple's, if only through sheer industry momentum (But that could go either way).

While the perf/watt is impressive, apple is also using 4 times the number of transistors on TSMC's latest process - and the comparison here is samsungs 8nm, I believe. It's not really all that impressive that that huge silicon investment has some results...

It's a tantalizing hint at what might be possible, but as it stands, I'm not really all that impressed, personally.

This is one of the best comments I've read on the much ballyhood Google Docs canvas! Favorited. I expect I'll be referencing this a good bit over the years.
You can run Stable Diffusion on any PC. A $50 desktop PC which is ten years old will generate an image in about 6 minutes. A more modern PC will do it in 2 minutes. That's the CPU. A $300 GPU is dramatically faster. And in a few years the same GPU will be $50.

You can rent the hardware from someone else, but that's a matter of convenience, not affordability.
This is for a homelab. I think overkill is the point.
> Is that really the case? I'm not being facetious here, I'd really like to see more useful datapoints. There aren't many benchmark comparisons out there that strive for actual useful comparison, especially outside synthetic stuff with questionable applicability like 3dMark.

Yeah, on synthetic benchmarks a higher-end MacBook Pro GPU compares favorably with recent Nvidia laptop cards (say, 4070 or so). But in games that drops off dramatically ... more like a 3050 or 3060 at best.
This was the base for Isaac Asimov's short story The Dead Past.
Rosetta is a known quantity of approximately 20% of a drop. DXVK can do about a 20% performance drop in certain situations, and perform better than that in others.

You are right. .ML is the TLD for the country of Mali which is an interesting choice. I did a trace route on both and found them hosted on different servers. There may be no connection, and I don't think it matters anyways.
Pretty sure this is just gasoline for everyone to have a flame war over. Right down to the ever so slightly incorrect facts and emotionally charged language.

Only thing that’s in anyway correct is the bit about the type of people excited by these devices - I feel seen. But is that so bad?

Also, there really are markets for these devices - they’re just often not that visible for the average consumer. I work in medical simulation training for instance.

With the rise of (split) mechanical keyboards as a hobby in its own right (with open source keyboard firmware like QMK and ZMK) it is much easier to make small tweaks to your layout as you find things which annoy you, so there seems to be a lot of experimentation going on right now with alternative layouts.

I feel like I'm one of the last generation of Dvorak typers, anyone who cares about typing ergonomics learning about alternate layouts is probably both better off and more likely to try e.g. colemak, or something newer or maybe even design their own.
Land/space are limited. I live where most on HN would consider very rural - the closest town is 600 people and a town of 20,000 is about 30 minutes from me.

Even when I was buying a home back in 2011 there were basically no good plots of land for sale. What was there was about $10,000 an acre. I eventually got my house for $180,000 and it’s on 15 acres, meaning my 3,000 square foot house was basically only $30,000 when you account for the land price.

Obviously building vertically helps in cities, but that comes with its own costs as well.

It’s supply and demand and supply is limited by the surface area of the earth. In the short term countries could absolutely help themselves by limiting immigration. Population growth has outpaced new housing for the last 20 years in the US: https://usafacts.org/articles/population-growth-has-outpaced...

Canada built 321,000 units of housing in 2021 but is in pace to have over 500,000 immigrants this year.

It’s unsustainable and people think you’re a racist for bringing it up so it never gets talked about.

Ask HN: Suggesting better employee-supporting AI Chatbot to a mid sized corpo
I work in what i believe to be a mid sized, 51% state owned company, (at least where i live: more or less US$ 1B market cap, 9k employees). I'm at the lowest level a the chain, and have to frequently refer to the company's wiki for rules and processes. But the whole information chain in the company makes sense in theory, but it's a quagmire to navigate in practice. Daily instructions and news aren't integrated to the wiki automatically, the same product may appear in 3 different ways depending on where you look for it, etc. And if you try to call someone in the main building responsible for a specific department, they just say "read the wiki" and end the call.

I want to suggest using a tool like privateGPT, trained using all these rules to at least make searches more "humane" than knowing the exact product code or making someone face a wall of text when you just want to know a specific rate or sale restriction.

However, since it's a state owned company, things move REALLY SLOW. Slow as in "the modern chatbot they tested last year just repeats 'how can i help you' until you say one of the five initial terms without typos and god knows how many thousand dollars they burned on this, so sunk cost fallacy keeps it alive" slow.
There is a good chance that if i just suggest it, the IT will say it has a project related to it, but it'll be stuck for a decade in management hell.

So i considered borrowing the wiki and making a working chatbot (with privateGPT[1] on an offline notebook. Slow, but very low data leak risk), for example, and presenting it as a proof of concept directly. On one hand, it would drive the point across or i would learn first hand it just doesn't work. On the other, it is a policy violation punishable with instant firing.

And no, sales department grunts don't get their own machines or access to anything of the sort. And if i tried to reach someone high enough on hierarchy that they can formally request the hardware and data to make this, it's their project now and it has to compete for resources with every other project from people for the same department and level, which causes the slow progress i told before.

So... How do i advance? Go ballistic and risk having my head cut off (it's less appealing once you have a family, bills to pay and a mortgage), give it away, renounce any credit and pray it moves faster than the average innovation or is there another way of making a prototype and prove it can help.

I considered loading another wiki of something different, but it's less convincing as a proof of concept because it needs to allow addition, change and exclusion of small bits of data without the bot going offline for retraining 3 times a day. I can sideline it if i show it answering work related questions and solve it later, but with an external example, they'll possibly brush it off as not even showing "useful info".

It's been said that a cultural artifact of the pandemic era was "oversharing". People just being incredibly candid and loose with their personal feelings.

1. This really depends on how much sound leaks out. The original earpods were designed to leak a little bit of sound but were still used in airplanes.

2. I take a lot of 4 hour flights. I see people use steam decks on them all the time, even though their batteries don't hold for the whole flight.

3. I don't know the answer, but I wonder what the largest battery you could bring onto a flight is, and how long that would extend the Vision Pro's battery life.

Partially, I think the problem is caused by a bit of ... let's call it "old" technologies.

Developers who entered the fray in the last 10-ish years are used to projects having extensive test suites, CI pipelines doing tests (especially regression tests), and web-based workflows (i.e. gitlab, github) with rich comment features, annotations and the like.

In contrast, the Linux kernel development has none of these. Some of the large companies working for/on Linux (Intel, AMD, the enterprise distributions) do have test automation and the resources for it in private [3], but Joe Random has none of that - say I want to modify something in the kernel, the workload is on them (and the maintainers, and all too often the users of -next branches) to check if stuff goes wrong and bisect which commit broke something. This is an insanely high barrier to entry and IMHO the outdated/not present at all tooling is the biggest issue why the maintainers tend to be nit-pickers.

On top of that... I do get that Linux wants to support older systems to build. But a six year old compiler [1]? A C standard over a decade old [2]? No C++ at all? Not many people are happy to work under such constraints. I mean, okay, now some subsystems have Rust support which alleviates a bit of these problems, but it's still marked experimental.

The biggest issue organizationally is the Linux doctrine to avoid breaking userspace at all costs with very few exceptions. That model doesn't lend itself to iterative development as everything has to be perfect from the start, and the result is projects like Asahi Linux have to maintain out-of-tree changes while they are still discovering what's the best way to implement entirely new paradigms. Bikeshedding and yak shaving galore.

Much of the capabilities of the F-22 are classified. This is why the information released is limited, and released slowly and vaguely if it is. It is the US's most advanced fighter, there's no way they're going to release all the data it collects publicly. China is taking notes.
> Add thunderbird as target for installation

That's interesting. I get a couple of newsletters with advertising in them, and while I still find the Thunderbird interface a little clunky, this might sway me a bit.

I'm currently running Thunderbird as an email backup solution, with a rule to automatically copy every new email to a local folder. Maybe I'll start using it a bit more. (It's in a docker image on my file server, accessed via noVNC in a browser, which definitely adds to the clunkiness. Maybe I'll switch it to my local machine.)
Don't blame yourself, even teams in big companies don't bother to do validation and fetch customer opinions before developing the products.

And I know why.

Obviously, there is no such thing as free shipping. Yes, I also just consider that part of the price.

Coincidentally in the past couple of days I've been doing a lot of shopping in a space where the good is nominally ~$10 but shipping is ~$20. I've heard that there's a lot of distortions like that brought on by various storefront systems not allowing you to set per-item shipping prices sufficiently granularly, and the store owners will compensate by setting their target shipping price in whatever manner they can and then making the target item price whatever it needs to be to work out. For the particular things I'm shopping for (semi-obscure CDs), $30 is a reasonable price with shipping, so I bought without complaining, because the "shipping price" isn't really relevant to me, only the final price I pay.

For a while you could kind of run some scams where you the store aggregation sites would show you as the cheapest because your price was $1 and the sort order would ignore your $25 shipping fee, sorting you in front of the shop selling for $5 and $5 shipping, but all the aggregators I've seen lately have switched to sorting by price + shipping so that doesn't work anymore.
