There's cube farms, but people hated those (before they realized open offices were worse). But seriously, cubes do give a degree of privacy and reduce unnecessary distractions, if not as well as a private office.
Supposedly. But I have the same experience. I used it to create code to design a complicated CRISPR experiment, but lately it can’t keep anything straight.
I once stayed at a hotel next to one of the largest rose gardens in the southern hemisphere, with hundreds of varietals.

I walked through smelling every unique type of rose flower and I was surprised to learn that the vast majority do not smell like “roses”!

A rough estimate was that half smell bad or not at all, most of the rest smell like lemons, and a few percent only have the prototypical rose smell.
I don't think ai is different enough from the rest of software, and even creative works to warrant needing dedicated ai experts guiding congress.

Ask HN: Why isn't bookmarking scroll position a thing?
A regular problem I have with the web is that I will find an interesting article and start reading only to later see how tiny the scroll bar is on the page and realise I don't have the time to finish in that moment.

Now it seems like my only option is to bookmark the entire page and later scroll up and down trying to find my spot.

This seems odd considering how ubiquitous the concept of bookmarks has been for centuries.

It is common to be able to store locations in modern formats like video and music and be prompted whether to restore location or restart but not older formats like text.

Bulletin boards often track the last page you visited but not which comments you've scrolled past. Although this is different to reading a single large body of text.

It's made even worse by the fact that most pages load many trackers, some of which even track user scrolling, but that this isn't utilised for the readers experience.

In many cases scroll position is saved such as via the back button in a browser. But this isn't made available for bookmarking.

Google Chrome does now let you link to a text fragment. But this becomes quite fiddly to use as a bookmarking tool. The "share" option doesn't have an add to or update bookmark option suggesting this isn't its intended purpose. We're just lucky they've accidentally given us a tool we can also use for bookmarking with a couple of extra steps.

Even if it would be difficult for browsers to implement due to shifting screen dimensions, it seems some major text heavy websites like medium, Wikipedia or substack could implement it. It seems like it could even be a feature "do you want to finish reading X?" But as far as I can tell nobody ever has.

Is anyone on HN implementing something like this on their site? Or tried in the past?
It sounds like you live in an area that can't support reasonable public transit. If missing a bus is a big deal, and if the bus may get replaced by a minibus, population density is probably too low.

When public transit works well, you see it more as a network of fixed routes than as catching individual vehicles. You show up at a stop, and the system takes you close to your destination. If you miss a bus/tram/train, the next one is probably not too far behind. If you miss a connection, the system may suggest you another route.

The US is full of medium-density cities that don't work well. Population density is high enough that traffic gets bad if most people drive, but it's simultaneously low enough that public transit is only viable on most popular routes.
I don’t think anyone is claiming they are truly 2d, and I highly doubt anyone is interpreting it that way.

free speech

How is requiring journalists to register with the state free speech? Or don't say gay? You're right that desantis appeals to Republican core values, but you're wrong on what those core values are.
Propaganda and far right reactionaries.
This state machine is inherently unsafe for concurrent use, because the CurrentState and Transitions fields aren't completely protected by a mutex. You already have an unexported mutex that you lock when mutating those fields, but then consumers trying to read those exported fields are not able to lock the same mutex to prevent concurrent read/write operations.

You should not export those fields, and instead make them available via methods where the reads are protected by the mutex. You'll probably also need to make a copy of the map since it's a reference type, OR make the accessor take the key name and fetch the value directly from the map and return it. I learned this when I wrote a similar simple state machine in Go ~7 years ago. :)

I'd also make sure to return `T` from the CurrentState accessor method and not `*T`, just to make it easier for consumers to do comparison operations with the returned result.

Some US Senators were already giving Meta a hard time about releasing LLaMA to researchers, saying that centralization is "safer" to control and regulate.

Why would what’s true and required about the Eucharist (at the most fundamental level) change from, say, 1923 to 2023?

The matter at hand is not a trad thing (but I will disclose that I am in the trad camp): these are just basics covered in e.g. the 1997 Catechism promulgated by John Paul II and the the 1983 Code of Canon Law, which are 100% mainstream.
When I was a kid we could do 3 things with CSS 18 ways in 5 different browsers, and we liked it that way (not really, though).

I’m happy that CSS is becoming more capable in several ways, and I’ve usually been very pro-progress in cases like this. But I can sense myself sliding into the camp of wondering if some of this is overkill.

Maybe it’s not. View transitions though… I guess if they can be declarative and concise, that’s awesome. And if I don’t like all the crazy shit flying around my screen, I can toggle the prefers reduced motion setting? It seems ripe for abuse, though. I expect to see a whole lot of unnecessary view transitions.

I liked the write up in any case, I appreciate the enthusiasm.
Why Adam Neumann still gets money for a startup that cannot even fully define what he is trying to build after running we work to the ground is exactly why most people in this country are angry at the current state of things.

Normal people have consequences for the smallest of the mistakes they make in their lives. You can go to jail for failing to pay a parking ticket and have your life ruined if a medical bill goes to collections because your insurance wrongfully denied your claim.

Meanwhile corporations and connected individuals see little to no consequences of their direct actions. Ceos and founders mess up, and workers face the consequences. Real estate companies can literally walk away from their obligations and surrender buildings to lenders, and can still operate with no consequences. Banks can shut down and the executives can keep their millions in bonuses, while you who put your money in, should’ve known better about FDIC insurance limits.
Okay, I think I have a decent working solution for the scrolling actions accidentally triggering the switches.

Basically, if the action is more of a quick vertical swipe, it resets the switch to the previous state (so if delta of y > delta of x, then undo, unless the user has been dragging for over 1500 ms). Hopefully this solves the mistaken swiping issue.

For context, it took me a couple different approaches to get it right, mostly because it seems like iOS doesn't support a lot of the Touch API capabilities in browsers like force, etc. Also, if you're on Android, I added a tiny vibrate as you tick up or down your marq – I haven't been able to test it out, but if you're on an Android, please let me know if a) it's working, and b) if the vibrate length feels right (10 ms), and I will adjust as needed.

Thank you!

Nope, this is a commonly repeated falsehood.

Judges really don’t want to reduce the jury pool unless they really really need to. If they cut everyone who had seen CGP Grey’s video on Jury Nullification they’d unnecessarily thin the pool.

The way they do it is by specifically asking if you have any beliefs that would lead you to convict/acquit someone even if the evidence pointed to the opposite outcome. The question even tells you that Jury Nullification (making a false verdict) is a thing that’s possible to do. They want to know if you’re planning on doing it.

If you’re called for a murder trial and say “I don’t think murder is immoral” or “If the guy’s been accused, let him hang!” then yes, you’ll get out of jury duty. You’ll also look like a huge asshole in front of a bunch of people from your community.

And that’s how they get ya. Unless you have some really out-there views, or are willing to commit to acting like you do, you can’t get out of jury duty by going “I know about Jury Nullification!”

Army sizes and casulaties in the ancient world were typically off by a huge margin. For example, Thermopylae had ancient estimates at over a million Persians, which just doesn't make sense. The ancient world simply couldn't support an invading army that large by foraging or traditional supply. Just think about how many ships that would require.

Herodotus, who was useful in many other ways, also gave figures that are likely at least an order of magnitude too large.

More modern estimates of Cannae seem to be 10-16,000 on the Roman side. Part of the reason is that Hannibal was unlikely to be able to (or would necessarily want to) prevent a rout by the infantry.

Ancient warfare was very psychological and would typically end in a rout rather than a slaughter. Even now with far deadlier weapons, when we talk about "casulaties" we tend to include wounded and those outnumber the killed often by 2:1 or more (side note: your Vietnam casualty number is fatal casualties and pretty much correct).

Also, at this time the population of Roman Italy was likely close to a million or more. The city of Rome peaked at 1-2 million population before the Fall. Even in Republic times it was probably 200-500k+.

So the damage of Cannae was probably hugely psychological and presented a short-term problem in that it takes time to raise and train an army but given the demographics of the Roman Republic, it probably didn't represent a massive loss of military-age men in the same way that, say, World War One or Two did.
I find myself bothering to click through to YT so rarely (< once/month) it's not really worth installing an addon for this, but it sounds really useful for YT regulars.

What I'd love (and even pay money for) would be the same thing for Spotify podcasts - especially for kids stories which are a constant feature of my car journeys at the moment. 5 minutes of junk surrounding 4 minutes of actual story is madness.

(I already have Spotify Premium - I'm not talking about ads; the actual content of podcasts is mostly fluff, and it's almost as bad as YT)
> fixed wing aircraft with engines vs. wings that flap

It's a pretty old argument, and a little unfair. The better comparison would be between between bird's wings and drone's rotors, and even then if you wanted to compare an owl's agility at swooping and landing on branches to that of a drone, rotors aren't serving as well as flappy wings.

For sure, in terms of transatlantic flight and carrying capacity, fixed-wing all the way. But for neural networks, a lot of what's useful isn't doing things that are altogether different from what humans do, just automated and faster.

My main issue with this workflow is that if I alt tab to terminal, then it brings all of the terminals to front, rather than the one I wanted. Now one inactive terminal may be blocking the previous app that I want to use as reference for my active terminal. The only workaround is to resize and drag all the terminals around which I usually don't want to do. So I have to make the previous app fullscreen to move it to a separate window and then suffer from the slow window animation. It's just the worst UI ever designed. Never had any such issues with default ubuntu or windows. Things actually feel like a real desk(top) on those.

Drama it is, by dictionary definition. That's how I used the word.

I think it's rather poor spirit to belittle someone for not knowing, when they have specifically asked to learn.

I agree that regulation at the software level seems unenforceable. It may even backfire by pushing model distribution onto a less regulated black market, or ceding the market to other countries without the regulation that are happy to let companies incorporate in their jurisdiction and distribute whatever sets of numbers they'd like.

I worry that the conversation will move to regulating hardware purchases, e.g. needing a license to purchase more than one GPU.

Personally I don't see why GPU access shouldn't be covered by the second amendment. If the proposal is to regulate the hardware then there's a clear argument that it's 2nd amendment protected: it's not possible to simultaneously argue that AI can be weaponized while also asserting it's not protected by the 2nd amendment.

Ultimately, it's not the AI we should fear, but the people controlling it. And if the best defense against AI is more AI, then it's better if everyone can have an AI in their house, because it makes the power more diffuse, rather than concentrated within the control of a few economically dominant actors.

This was really interesting. I ran into this issue with Flask in particular for siloed multi tenancy and the end result was to create separate backend environments for simplicity. Maybe creating separate schemas could have been hacked together the way prisma-second does, but separate backends were simpler to code, deploy and document for everyone else. Consider the maintenance risk/burden of adding a dependency for a db driver and explaining odd architecture decisions to the business- and technical stakeholders.

You should say "No" to 99.9999999% of suggestions using the latest and most hyped technology.
