Dead wrong.

Google's terrible at UX. I once spent about five full minutes figuring out how to navigate my dad's phone app on his Android phone, so I could help him use it, after an OS upgrade. There were some tabs that didn't look like tabs and didn't indicate which was active, turns out. He'd have had no hope of figuring it out on his own.

Once was helping my grandma add contacts in Gmail. She had failed repeatedly. Kept hitting "add contact" and it'd blank the form she was on, without adding the contact. This was because there were two same-color-and-weight add-contact buttons on the page, with the same copy, and one submitted the form, while the other gave you a blank contact form. You pretty much had to be familiar with how HTML nesting worked to have good shot at guessing which was the one you wanted, just by looking at it.

That second one's an older version of the UI, but holy shit it was bad. They definitely make mistakes, and really obvious ones at that. Money and "smart" doesn't mean shit.
Seems like there is discrepancy; "But even with the LED on, the screen is noticeably less bright than the conventional monitor I regularly use.".
> irregardless is not a word.

"Irregardless" is absolutely a word. It's not a word I personally like, but there's no denying its status.
From the article, it does sound like the hiking was hell. They got lost in the middle of the night, bushwhacked to the coast, then bushwhacked around the coast until they found a ranger's house. They had to wake the ranger in the middle of the night to get a ride 10 more miles to the lodge.
The point is that they can just get a new, different, job.
Does anyone want another payment app? Venmo works pretty well, I heard Apple works well, I haven't tried Google. Zelle is sort of a mess. The only payment app I want uses FedNow; bank app is fine but separate app to manage contacts would work.

Does anyone want payment app integrated with messaging app? Meta tried with Facebook and WhatsApp and while people use it, it didn't take over. Those are private messaging, I can't see using it with public messaging like X/Twitter. Nobody I would send money is on X/Twitter.

I think WeChat style payments won't work in the US for commerce since the credit card infrastructure is too widespread. Every food cart has a Square terminal. I have used Venmo and QR code for purchases and it is worse than tapping phone.

There are some tasks where single core definitely limits the performance (some games especially). For most of the 'compute' oriented tasks like CAD/3D, LLMs, etc. multicore is great, and the slow single core speed doesn't seem to get in the way.

I would still rather have 128 M1-class cores than 128 Neoverse-N1 cores :)
I've always noticed when writing by hand I could get into the zone more easily but always thought it was because of the lack of speed compared to typing. I had never considered maybe the huge effort required to edit was another factor that kept my mind focused in the present.
I appreciate this guy trying to solve his problem, but it sounds like what he really needs is blue shifter like flux or the built in systems of the OS to set the color temperature lower.

I just have flux running all day cutting the temp to 5900K. Never had eye strain after that (and slept better too because I cut down to 1900K at night (ie. very yellow).

If he has to use other people's devices all day, like school devices, he can always wear blue-blocking glasses.
I wish the article explained why redesigning the monitor to use ambient light is better than turning down the "brightness" setting. Anyone know?
If they won't let us own it even when we pay for it, we obviously can't steal it. We get permission to watch. If we watch without paying (or watching some ads in lieu of payment, or sponging off someone who has been authorised to display it to us like a hotel room or public air station), we are viewing without authorization.

Just moving around bits from one machine to another isn't viewing in a traditional sense, though we might say our computer is viewing it without authorization. In which case, arrest the computer.
I (and OP if they'll forgive me speaking for them) are aware of that - but when you start to call copyright infingement "theft" you are combining two different legal issues.

And whilst IANAL, my understanding is that copyright infringement is a civil issue, whereas theft is a criminal one - they're trying to move the burden of the courts onto the taxpayer
I can't imagine any cook or chef who believes that all the necessary information for all good recipes has been captured in text, let alone in the text that's been digitized and made available for training.

That's not to say that LLM's can't mash together reasonable new recipes for certain audiences, especially for variations on popular modern standards, but the idea that their working space of recipes is exhaustive across all cuisine and tastes is absurd.
They don't require leaded gasoline, they require 100-octane gasoline. It's just that until recently, a certified, unleaded 100-octane avgas did not exist.
True, good point.

I feel like the main point is that you are not able to "edit" your text in the sense that you re-structure paragraphs, moving bits around, not about not being able to correct a typo.
> can eating soap give us some of those benefits for viruses that are already in our bodies?

I think the thing people are missing in a lot of these comments is that viruses are typically traveling from the skin to a mucus membrane in your body (which can be in the stomach but also in your lungs and nose), then infecting your cells. Eating soap might impact pathogens in your still in your stomach, but it's not going to dissolve in your blood and circulate through your body at high enough concentrations to impact viruses...

...and if it was high enough concentration: imagine snorting, inhaling or injecting dish soap.
Did you drag and drop it? Which OS? It works for me on Windows.
Tesla has replaced two million gasoline cars with electric cars, and given its current growth rate, and Musk's long standing plan to release progressively more affordable cars, this number will likely be massively larger in a few years.

Beyond Tesla's own sales, its success has sparked massive investment by other carmakers to push their electric vehicle manufacturing timetables forward. All told, Tesla has had a massive impact in pushing the world to replace gasoline vehicles with electric ones.

SpaceX, for its part, is responsible for reducing the cost of launching material to orbit ten fold, with another 100 fold reduction possible with StarShip. The spike at the end of this graph is almost solely due to SpaceX:

Whatever is motivating this narrative you've adopted about Musk, it isn't the pursuit of truth.
> in California where doing the opposite is standard

This wasn't true ten years ago.
Yes, innovation from the private sector. Just like the innovation we've had in solar panels over the past 50 years.

"Do no harm at all costs" regulatory bodies need to be overhauled. E.g. NRC, FAA

IMHO, it'd be much better to have an explicitly adversarial and separately-funded dual-track system at such agencies, similar to how the justice system works.

E.g. FAA-Innovation (responsible only for their goal) makes their strongest case and presents research on why unleaded gas should be adopted ASAP. FAA-Safety (responsible only for their goal) makes their strongest case on why no change should be made.

All arguments and facts are published in public. Then higher-level decision makers arbitrate and make a call.

The root of all evil is that from a career perspective, "defer and take no action" is always safer for individuals in positions of regulatory authority. Worst case, something that's always been wrong explodes, and you blame it on the last person.

In the current blended safety+innovation system, it's too easy to obfuscate intentional inaction in endless "more study is needed" bullshit.

I read GP as saying they intentionally make the UX dysfunction for actually features (e.g. privacy settings, finding the “most recent” feed - I didn’t even bother to look for that one recently), and only optimize for eyeballs on the main feed and therefor monetization.
spot on: the right to enter a countries borders is not granted to all individuals. The right to free speech may be, but it comes with a cost if you say things people don't like. You are still free to say them though.
It looks like there was a huge windshield bias among the authors. In the chapter on Transport, they describe transit as a targeted subsidy only for those unable to afford EVs, instead of what it should be, which is the central feature of the transportation system that is enjoyed by everyone. They barely mention bicycling and do not mention e-bikes which are hugely outselling EVs.
> All of your changes are saved locally. Ensō works perfectly fine even without internet connection.

I know this is a sign of the times and so I'm not blaming the author, but Christ, what a depressing development that this is enough of a feature to be one of the headline hero paragraphs on the landing page.
Can't confirm this at all with my 4090 and i9-13900KF. Even with highest settings on Windows 11 23H2 (25977) with GeForce 545.92, I get 30 FPS -- the stuttering started only when my city reached a population of around 80k. (Display is a LG 4K HDR 32", connected via DisplayPort.)

> Hmm, I thought students could develop back problems from carrying textbook laden backpacks? Is that just an old wives tale?

It's mostly an effect of not having the backpack adjusted properly (using only arm straps and having those too loose.)
It wasn't "like this" but I just (with parental support) enrolled in the local community college after junior high, took a light load of college work, and got a homeschool program to sign off until I could test out at 16. Did 2 years worth of college work over the 4 years that would have been highschool, then transferred to a "proper" university as a junior at 18.
whoa! Consumer Reports is a non-profit. TIL.
Its funny how people use terms to confirm their own particular bias. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
That's all true, but then maybe it's not "the fastest Arm desktop" if it's 25% faster in multi-core workload but the M2 Ultra is _168% faster in single core_ (that's 168% faster as in 2.68x as fast, not 68% faster). There are plenty of workloads where the M2 Ultra will be significantly more performant.

I'm excited for the future of ARM desktops, but that also means they need to significantly increase single core performance. It looks like maybe the Snapdragon X Elite will get us there? Or at least significantly closer.
because butter's caloric density is 7-9 kcal/g, higher than the 'cheap calorie dense food' being blamed for the obesity pandemic, yet the widespread availability of butter (in some societies) starting ten thousand years ago did not cause widespread obesity, even when it wasn't pricey

this shows that the explanation is wrong; cheap calorie-dense food is not enough to cause widespread obesity

probably the loads of low-fat products you're talking about are packed with sugar and modified food starch, though, as well as xanthan gum, guar gum, carob bean gum, dibutylhydroxytoluene, carboxymethylcellulose, aspartame, polyethylene glycol, all kinds of novel food colorings including titanium dioxide nanoparticles, antifungal additives like propionate, and so on. some of these don't occur naturally, and others aren't traditional food ingredients. it wouldn't be very surprising if one or more of those novel additives affected hormone balances, inflammation levels, or intestinal microbiota in a way that promoted overeating and inactivity. some of them are well-known to affect intestinal microbiota

this is the first time i've seen one that provoked an antibody response, though

This country can be full of itself sometimes. Having people who are willing to push for change in areas they care about sounds very desirable :)
Worth noting that the expensive price isn't because of the metadata feature - it's a new version of the Leica M11 which is $8995 itself (Leicas are just crazy expensive)
We tried that 40 years ago when unleaded became the norm for other uses. The planes were grandfathered in. It’s time for grandfather to move on.
Long ago, they tried burning trash in other countries and it was just basically an open burn pit, so incineration is a political no-go. Even though now it's possible to attain essentially complete oxidation and no nox/sox/ash in flue gas.
Because "hey, turn down your brightness a little, dude" is not a product you can sell for money.
> The closest you can go is this, but having an explicit rightward assignment:

I'd actually recommend using in instead:

events.select { _1 in {type: 'create'} | {role: 'admin'} }

I really enjoy using in for filtering. But I get the OP's point.

Pattern matching does need QOL improvements to really feel like it's a first-class citizen of the language ... like patterning matching for method and block arguments. :)
Different but worse by almost every metric, what don't I get?
I won't predict that Twitter payments will take over Venmo/Cashapp/Paypal/Zelle, but people did say the same thing about AIM, ICQ, MSN when Facebook launched Messenger.

Another data point: Facebook, a social network where I think connections are more grounded in real world relationships than Twitter, has supported payments for years. Still, it hasn't boxed out the entrenched players in payments.

This is such a major problem! I have so many half finished projects because I got to the understanding portion and moved onto something more interesting.

I completed the first part. The concepts are explained in a linear fashion, one by one instead of just going through a lot of concepts all at once. Their exercises (at least till part one) are fantastic as well. I have tried a lot of open source courses and this is by far the best one I have ever encountered
Lack of options should never have prevented lead being outlawed. Ask anyone on the street "Would you like to drink this potion making you dumber so that someone else can fly a plane up there" and everyone will say no.

Thanks for chiming in! Do you think it’s desirable for it to stay "ugly" then if it’s for "internal use"?

I can understand the admin isn’t meant to have a "consumer" UI but it still feels like there are lots of user experience & accessibility improvements needed to bring it in line with modern standards (WCAG for example).
I've just added acrylic paints to the ArtistAssistApp.
I too dislike the current UI trends and I still think Django Admin is an ugly piece of software. It was ugly 10 years ago and it's still ugly today. It gets a lot of simple design things like margins very wrong.

It's purely visual though. It's a great piece of software to get out of the box.
Is the issue that burglars are getting arrested and then having the charges dropped? Or is the issue that they are not being arrested in the first place?

The article provides no data, so it's unclear if this measure will actually help.
Unlike other areas of AI that are immediately applicable to use in products (LLMs, Stable Diffusion, RVC, etc.), 3D sculpting has years of further optimization before it finds its fit.
These sculpts are not "game ready". Their object geometry is massively bloated and inefficient.

They're not rigged with a skeleton or morph targets. That's a hard problem that some products (like rigify) can sort of solve, but not for assets in this poor shape.

The massive VC funds being poured into this "game ready asset AI" should sit on the sideline for 3-4 years and invest in a new player with a fresh cap table and no baggage.

I'm looking to jump into this area, but the timing is off.
I've just added 3 sample photos, so people can play with the app without uploading anything.
Yes. Definitely.

If I say "I literally broke my arm" after I actually broke my arm, that use is completely correct. But you cannot be literally dead and still type a message, unless it's an automated message that you ordered someone/something to send AFTER you died.
I agree about the issues - (sometimes) poor quality produce, lots of tiny bits of waste, sometimes template-y feeling meals. Also very expensive, and sometimes not enough food.

But overall I really like it. I actually learned a lot about cooking. The meals aren't complicated, and they follow similar patterns, so you start picking up on things. Like seasoning in layers (they tell you to salt & pepper at multiple steps), how to improve flavors with stock, spices, how to make presentation nice. And they're all pretty quick. After a while I have a nice library of recipe cards, and now I just pick a few of them when I go to the grocery store and get the ingredients myself. And even though sometimes it doesn't feel like enough food, it almost always comes out perfect. Sometimes I'll augment the amount of rice or something like that.

So I like HelloFresh, and maybe eventually I'll graduate to more interesting meals like NYT Cooking. But HelloFresh is quick, easy, and usually good.

What do you mean about "creating unnecessary dishes"?
"The second part of this is: if the things you want but have been excluded from are not good for you (another bottle of wine, the admission into the bathroom stall to partake in a line of cocaine) then you should be glad that you are missing out.

Don't you fix these things by using the market, fine Cadbury an extra 5% pa of gross revenue if any bars are found with > N ug of any particular heavy metal. Tax all companies an extra X% if their products are in the bottom quintile for 2 consecutive years. Maybe don't fine them if they can show a person who eats their products at the 99% level, for a lifetime, would be below the level of toxicity -- the CEO can eat that much of the metal to demonstrate they're convinced that the toxicity figures are correct!

In theory the chocolate producers will get a lower price unless they do what they can to reduce heavy metals.

Of course the farmers get screwed in places where others have shipped their heavy-metal lawn waste ...

I generally try to avoid traditional soaps (saponified oils). They’re only soapy at in basic solution, and skin is naturally a bit acidic. Even for washing dishes, there are mildly unfortunate interactions — try mixing Dr. Bronner’s soap with any acidic food. You get a gooey mess that isn’t soapy. On the other hand, I suppose that traditional soap residue that anyone with normal stomach acid manages to eat will turn back into free fatty acids.

(Skin is, in general, rather more sensitive to bases than acids. Even a fairly mild base will make skin feel unpleasant and a bit slimy, whereas holding an orange slice (quite acidic) is not particularly irritating to intact skin.)

The "specific source of messaging that's built around 'honesty'" is a classic malignant narcissist behavior. "Oh gosh gee, yes, I did that but you should go easy on me because I'm admitting it - there's no reason to punish me harshly if pretend to be honest now, I've learned my lesson!"
The problem with hard shell cases is that they’ll have the side punched in instead of just bending. Maybe there are some really strong ones that aren’t heavy, but I don’t know.

The first two items are just wrong. I use PostgreSQL like SQLite all the time. That is: Colocated with the application, connected only via UNIX socket. In these cases, the database is not meant to be a separate application, so I don't treat is as something separate.

Ironically, this is also the easiest way to set up PostgreSQL. At least in the distributions I use, it is already configured to connect locally over UNIX sockets, and all I have to do is create a system user to connect with.

PostgreSQL has a bad reputation for being difficult to set up because people expect it to be exposed on the network by default, and then they have to dig into the
obscurely named pg_hba.conf and change multiple lines.

There is ongoing cargo cult wisdom that "the RDBMS HAS to be a standalone service" which is just nonsense and extremely counterproductive for the median use case.

Hi, I'm Alex the founder of OpenFaaS.

We've had a lot of interest from vendors about porting functions form AWS Lambda. Why? Their need to deploy their code on-premises and onto other clouds.

We provide a comprehensive guide for Python functions, plus a Node guide at the end of the article.

Han from the team include source code using ffmpeg to transform a full-length video into a preview thumbnail, just like the one you see on openfaas.com

Hope it's useful to you too.
