The website incorrectly represents it. Since Lion, how the macOS scrollbar/position looks depends on your input device.

By default if you are using a regular mouse, the scrollbar is displayed with a light-gray marker for the current position (much like the Windows 10 example to the right).

If you are using a multi-touch input device (Magic Mouse or Trackpad), the scrollbar is hidden entirely by default. This includes the space or 'track' left for it, the scrollbar just appears as a floating bar when you start scrolling.

You can change this via settings to always show track and position.
I don't blame people for doubting either, especially because it was mixed in with assertions on the right that COVID was a bioweapon gone rogue.

My point isn't whether it's credible, just that one of the most powerful people in the world expressed support for Lab Leak very early on
I have used React/Preact/React Native/Flutter to build complex UIs. I thought it would be great to use something like this to render TUI and get rid of some of the app complexity for “simpler” one-user apps. I have used it and it is a nightmare when your app gets just slightly complex. Instead of making simple components I ended up traversing the internals of the library. Impressed by some people getting things done with it though.

- CSS, why?! It does not really work like CSS when it comes to positioning things, overlapping and so on. Compared to previous versions where these properties were in a dict or sent in to the component, they are now in either big string blocks or in separate files, removing syntax highlighting and/or locality.

- Cannot easily use debugging such as PDB because it hijacks Traceback and uses async. Maybe fine if you rely on other debugging tools.

- It lacks simple off-the-shelf components such as menu bars, so I built my own, but run into annoying artifacts as mentioned before.

Rich, the underlying rendering library is good, and simple enough. I ditched Textual for prompt_toolkit, and can still use Rich to render things in pt.
Why aren't you asking for a legal standard municipalities have to adhere to to publish a machine-readable summary of cable/internet franchise fees given a URL with a zip code embedded in it? It's the municipality behind these fees, not Comcast.
That's kind of what I suspected ... it seems like a self-inflicted problem, a consequence of the VC model and "enshittification"

They have something closer to a simple Hello World example here:

https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/gpt/function-calling

That example needs a bit of work I think. In Step 3, they're not really using the returned function_name; they're just assuming it's the only function that's been defined, which I guess is equivalent for this simple example with just one function but less instructive. In Step 4, I believe they should also have sent the function definition block again a second time since model calls in the API are memory-less and independent. They didn't, although the model appears to guess what's needed anyway in this case.
Assuming you're being serious (god I hope not; how ignorant), no, that's not the problem. Sure, tiny tiny cars are more vulnerable in a crash, but we're talking about normal-size sedans here. Even a smaller SUV probably wouldn't fare so well.
I assume that if I use Google Voice I be immune from this attack since the stuff doing SMS would be in their data center.
Yeah. If you want to build a lifestyle business then you can't take VC money. The grassroots approach is not an easy one and can take a very long time to grow! But in the end you retain complete control over the business.
Yeah data viz generation is certainly something I'm looking into adding.

> Libraries have deeper historic, political and legal significance than books the majority wants around.

If a public library doesn’t do what the majority of people want, why should they keep it around? In our political system, the people are the sovereign, and they have the ultimate right to decide how they want their government to operate, limited by constitution and other law. Public libraries don’t have a right to independently exist as some sort of feudal benefice, with right to extort the local peasants attached to it. Their existence and operations stem solely from the will of the people, and they will it to work differently or not at all, so shall it be.

> It's a prominent and increasing trend

As far as I can tell, the article linked is overwhelmingly talking about school libraries. Have you read it? I hope you haven’t, otherwise it would be rather dishonest of you to give it as evidence to support the point about non-school libraries.
Deadlines are a proxy for dependencies

The deadline is important because of scheduling, and whoever needs to use your thing has a certain stretch of time where they can implement their part.

I've been liking to instead model the dependencies explicitly, and make the project plan a dag rather than a gannt charts. You could make a gannt charts from it, if you add all the estimates, and define the available parallelism, but the reason for doing some piece of work is whatever depends on it, and you can follow the dag up to the end feature
Which turned out to be a terrible idea, because now with the importance of data integrity in training AI all these BS reviews everywhere mean Yelp, Amazon, etc are left with effectively worthless data that otherwise could have created very neat tools and offered a secondary revenue stream to just placement/ads.

You've clearly never worked in sales. Sometimes you simply can't make progress and another person comes in saying the exact same thing and the person goes "oh ok, I understand that. I'll do it."
I’m really not trying to be inflammatory when I say this, but highly technical professions that have intense training requirements for entry attract a disproportionate amount of people with social development issues, ranging from intense self-diagnosed “introversion” to full blown developmental disorders like autism/aspergers. There’s plenty of this in software development, but medicine takes it to the next level. The demands of the curriculum and placement training basically ensure that a majority of the successful entrants to the profession are highly anti-social, as anybody with an interest in having a healthy social life would almost have to give it up to make it through that selection process. My thesis is that people with these personality traits legitimately find the synthesised “compassion” or “empathy” produced by LLMs to be legitimately insightful.
no, you said that. i'm saying that if gpt is a medical device then so is google, and doctors use google all the time
I think the article could have done a better job of portraying the side of the industry. The majority cost is probably fuel efficiency. At the end of the article, they describe a new technical solution which is more light weight, involving a polyester mesh and steel, instead of just steel.

When you think about it, that’s an argument FOR requiring these regulations early, like back in the 70s when the issue was on the table. Because when you DO put safety first, engineering now has a bounded problem that they can improve on quickly (which engineers are particularly good at). So, stupid all-around, and tens of thousands of people died for no good reason.

> it doesn't pay for moderators while at the same time is taking their tools away

The mods mainly were protesting because they relied on these tools. Reddit responded by making exceptions for these tools, and threw in exceptions for accessibility-focused tools to boot. (Taking the "think of the blind and deaf people" argument off the table.)

The only people that are still upset are the people who just want to continue to use ad-free readers, without paying money.

Reddit is a digital drug dealer that just raised prices on its addicts. The power users you describe are the least likely to delete their accounts and leave. Their rage over something relatively trivial is just a testament to their addiction.

Ideally I'd like the result to be in a clean json with a key that's strictly the result and other keys for context information. It would reduce needing to use regex everywhere.
Not necessarily. The conversation with the Apollo dev was about the missed opportunity cost of having the user on the official platform. The $20m/year number was referring to opportunity cost, not the actual cost.

To me that unpacks to a mix of lost potential value on having the user on the official client for data harvesting + advertising purposes + having full control over user experience, and subtly trying to get rid of 3rd party clients without just shutting the APIs down.

The premise is that you create a separate person with a separate "memory bank" that lives in your body. That person can suffer a lot but "vanish" after work hours (or in this case surgery with anesthesia) and "you" you may or may not care about their suffering. Should you? That's the question.
If there's a bunch of openings for moderators as a result of this blackout, I'm thinking I might like to try it out, especially on a high-traffic sub if I can. Of course, as an unpaid volunteer with so much power, I'm not going to use it the way they want me to. Instead, I'll just randomly ban people I don't like, and then get them banned sitewide whenever they question my ban. (This seems to be normal behavior in many subs already...) Then I'll continue banning people, targeting the most productive users on that sub, until the sub is nothing more than a wasteland. This probably wouldn't be good for Reddit, but they'll be getting what they paid for.

Stop expecting API limits to save you there. We’re beyond that. And honestly it’s better if we stop expecting privacy on public forums.
Am I a bad person for wishing the AI bubble would burst already so Nvidia would go back to allocating their capacity towards affordable consumer GPUs?

ChatGPT is cool, but not cool enough for me to be OK with the ridiculous prices Nvidia can get away with on GPUs nowadays.

Consumer GPU sales are at the lowest point they've been in decades, but Nvidia doesn't care. Their profits are higher than ever because everyone and their dog is paying out the nose to build up their AI nonsense.
I think it might help to consider which of today's apps would be better if they understand you on an intuitive level. Thinking of apps where users directly run inferences (AKA ChatGPT-but-for-X) is missing the forest for the trees, IMO.

For the latest example I've been excited about:

the Doordash app sucks, and we spent 10 minutes the other day trying to convince it to let us order from the Boba franchise in the next town over rather than the one close by (ahh, the wonders of Silicon Valley, a true Eden).

If the app was powered by an LLM with access to a series of API endpoints rather-than/in-addition-to the traditional visual interface, one can easily imagine how such a problem could be solved in seconds. Suddenly, it becomes possible to design interfaces that fit niche/edge/unexpected usecases much more reliably.
Don't disagree, but deadlines are a very indirect and poor proxy which focuses on time rather than deliverables.

> whoever needs to use your thing has a certain stretch of time where they can implement their part

But the idea that timelines are critical to a project's progress must be a myth, because software projects are almost always delivered late. The dependency is always on the feature or deliverable, not on the date. The depending team will work out how to cope because that's what happens every day in most software shops anyway.

I'm not saying that deadlines and timelines are bad. I'm just saying that they should not be the core organising principle for delivering a project.

That are not run down. My complaint is against writers who are inaccurate. It’s frustrating and wastes my time when writers do this poor quality work with mistakes. And it doesn’t seem like a mistake so much as a deception.

It’s not “may or may not” as these hotels are clearly not run down.

You’re right about then neighborhood, but the point that the article is trying to make is that it’s the hotels that suck, not the neighborhood. But that’s not true
Kind of underscores Taibbi's credibility that he'll pick a fight with Musk and be shadowbanned though, huh?
I don’t know why they didn’t just offer API access at a fair price, it seems like it would have resulted in a better outcome than their current rock and hard place decision between backpedaling and never getting rid of the API awhile unprofitable, or getting rid of it and creating a diggv4 fiasco of the site being used to promote leaving the site.
The theory (and even wilder ones, like COVID being a bioweapon) were reported all through 2020 on Fox News and other media sources. It wasn't a silent theory. There were a lot of crazier theories about China manufacturing COVID as a bioweapon, which got lumped into the "Lab Leak" bucket.

Of course it's contained in known integer sequences. The positive integers in increasing order, for example: https://oeis.org/A000027. The search doesn't know about every term in every sequence, as most are infinite and many are mostly unknown (some well-defined sequences only have a few known terms).
I think the breakdown of vulnerability analysis at each phase of the AI model development cycle was clever: rather than treating it all as one step you can assess the risks unique to each phase and mitigate accordingly.

> don't you just have your preservation instinct kicking in

Admittedly, yes; often when I write “I might...” I’m imagining a perspective adjacent to my own. In theory, I’d take my foot off the gas, put it in a lower gear (“manual” automatic), and watch what the guy does (time pending). I doubt I would really not have enough time to stop given how much I pay attention when driving.

Still, it takes two to tango, as it goes. The driver who died presumably could have and should have been paying more attention. They’d be alive today if they’d been paying enough attention to stop. And they’d be alive today if the truck driver had been more responsible. Keep in mind, the truck driver was hardly risking their own life; this was a lack of consideration for the safety of others.
That accounts for part of it, but there's a lot of litigation and environmental redtape that slows these things down. Before you can build a nuclear plant, you have to do an environmental impact report. Then somebody can complain, or sue, to stop over something in that environmental impact report. The ability of interest groups to halt nuclear, even green energy, is a bit ridiculous.
Have worked with many poor communicators and outright idiots but there is virtually no one graduating a decent medical school with native speaker skills that cant explain in simple terms why giving more fluids to someone that is overloaded with fluid is a bad idea (oh and without using any jargon like edema or diuresis, another thing missing in this whole farce, any 1st year let alone decent attending will explain clearly and simply what is being done. you’re not giving fluids then what the fuck is your plan doctor?).
