>We should simply have a well in the dashboard with replaceable inserts that snap in to accommodate different-sized phone models, which would connect to the audio system and power. But no... we still have phones bouncing around in the cabin or attached to hokey third-party claws, and janky-ass Bluetooth which (how many years in now?) can't handle simple music playback reliably.

I've been using Brodit/ProClip USA mounts to solve this. They sell holders designed specifically for your model of phone which attaches to a custom-fit mount for your car's make and model. It's pricy, at about $75 for a holder-mount combo, when cheap Amazon alternatives are closer to $10, but it overcomes a lot of the problems you list. I use it regularly for navigation, since my car doesn't support CarPlay or Android Auto.
While I agree with you in most other cases I've seen (this happens a lot), parent wasn't necessarily ragging on the dev, just adding a useful note. I found it helpful, as I wasn't aware there was an updated specification.

While we're at it, when airplanes were invented there were dozens of crashes relatively close to each other that killed almost a hundred thousand people (almost 100x that of all nuclear power accidents combined). Better get rid of the airplanes too. And let's not even mention cars or boats or horses. Best to just stay indoors.

Example of made up scenarios: You’re a singer. You recorded a song. How do you get people to listen to your song? You make up a scenario where your S.O. is just some random person and you play the song while doing something that shows attraction. Whether it’s hitting on the girl, or vice versa, or it’s puppies or something that invokes primal responses. Meanwhile the audio plays or you say “This is my song” and you have a dozen of your friends also promote it. Sit back and watch. A few people I know did this to break into the country music scene.

Guy in Truck: “Hey, you wanna hear something?”

Girl running: stops (pulls ear buds out like she couldn’t hear) “Sure” (confirming it was BS the whole time).

So they showed one clipped to a jacket. Don't they take the jacket off? What's the intended usecase? That you take it off and re-attach to various clothign as you dress/undress? It also looks quite heavy, so most T-shirts and other light items of clothing are not really suitable for this.

Ah got it. So GPT is non-deterministic, but we somewhat handle that by having a caching layer in our AI. Basically if you make an ai() call, and we see that the page state is identical to a previous invocation of that exact AI prompt, then we will not consult the AI and install return you the cached result. We did this mainly to reduce costs and speed up execution of the 2nd-to-nth run of the same test, but it does make the AI a bit more deterministic.

There are some new features in GPT-4-Turbo that will let us handle determinism better, and we will be exploring that once GPT-4-Turbo is stable.
The reason for DEI does not matter. The practical outcome is perhaps perverse.

A potential client will see a "diverse" lawyer and think "this person was hired because of DEI rather than competence."

Prudent clients will insist on white male lawyers because they must be competent to have jobs in a DEI environment. So actually competent lawyers from minorities suffer because of DEI policies and laws.
How is it exploitative? If people coming from other areas want to work for cheaper because they're willing, do you think they shouldn't have an opportunity to do so?

The switch and steam deck are fundamentally very different, despite ultimately both being for playing games.

The switch is great for party, co-op, and social games, while the steam deck is a decent approximation of a desktop PC.. sans keyboard and mouse.

Their economic inefficiency are mostly due to high capital costs needed to build a plant and high insurance costs. Renewables provide much greater bang for buck now, although you need to build them in the right locations that Illinois may lack (and getting transmission in from the great plains might not be viable?).

Maybe China will finally deliver some cheap reactors to work with, although I assume they are running into the same problems that we did (and corruption is a bit problematic with nuclear power plants).
Insurers are not the ones coding, it is the healthcare providers. And the government is the one deciding to pay.

If anything, that would mean more claims should be denied.

Looking at the study, it seems like the government made some erroneous assumptions about who would be taking advantage of the policies the government created, resulting in the extra costs. (Third paragraph of “policy context” section).

I honestly feel Steam is also incredibly slow compared to just opening their site in a browser. All of these game launchers are just janky DRM and some of the worst software our industry has to offer.
I see people talking on speaker phone all the time in public.
Gog's market-share is not substantial. Considering that non DRM software is very compelling, the Gog example actually just proves my point, you need exclusives to move the needle. It's a fact.
This is the real worry. Steam and valve are extremely consumer friendly and many of their decisions feel like they take the user into account before the accountants, contrary to many other video game products today.

I really worry when GabeN leaves that the company will either go public or be bought out by PE/VC and then the last bastion of goodwill in video games will die and fast painful death.
I was already interviewing when I got the layoff notice, formally accepted an offer at a large startup the same week I was laid off. I probably wouldn't have accepted that offer if I hadn't just been laid off.

I make about 60% as much (depending on how you calculate the stock). I work about 30% as much.

I don't miss working there, I didn't like their tools or their culture. But I feel something, perhaps insulted, that I was laid off. It can be weird.. disconnecting maybe.. seeing so many people work with such conviction toward goals that defy understanding.

Just imagine tons of brilliant and motivated people with middling communication/organization all working toward some unclear goal (building a metaverse on NFTs?) in the largest PHP codebase you've ever seen, all without batting an eye.

It's a mixed bag of Google's internal infrastructure is amazing, but the company has culture and operational challenges. Just from the bottom half, mostly headings:

> Most problems aren’t worth Google’s time, but surprising ones are. Most 10-50 million user problems aren’t worth Google's time, and don’t fit their strategy. But they’ll take on significant effort on problems that do fit their nature, strategy, and someone’s promotion goals.

A quiet acknowledgement of the promotion based culture driving product.

> Google is an ever shifting web of goals and efforts.

> Googlers wanted to ship great work, but often couldn’t.

> Top heavy orgs are hard to steer.

> Technical debt is real. So is process debt.

> Amazing things are possible at Google, if you play the right game.

To play devil's advocate: Wouldn't that just result in healthcare systems being run by people too incompetent to realize the liability they're signing up for?

That's fair. and there are plenty of stories of game devs that do moderate their forums being incredibly toxic themselves.

But point being, Steam is a whole platform. When THPS 1+2's "Upload a custom skate park" broke, I just hit shift+tab and clicked discussions, and bam. theres discussions about it being broken for other people. and I didn't even have to launch the game, I could just go to discussions from the game on steam to see when it was fixed. I didn't have to go googling for everything.

And the beauty of it, is that valve hasn't made all of it a walled garden. It's a nice garden, but they do a pretty good job of not keeping it completely locked down (which is the main reason why proton has been so successful).

So no, Steam won't moderate your forums for you, but they will host the forums and you don't have to have your own/none. But then again, that might be more of a benefit to the customers than to the devs who may not care.
Can you link one such definition?

There is also the Rust TCP/IP stack https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp which is not mentioned as reference (and it's probably more useful to have a look there than querying ChatGPT).
One still needs to build the structures with the water pools and everything else. If one bothers to buy the land, contract construction workers, lease heavy machinery, they could as well build 6x as big and spread the fixed costs over that. NuScale was designed to work with up to 12 modules.

It's too bad it didn't work out commercially. Their other projects will probably get cancelled as well if they face the same price increases.
They keep saying that, but keep trying instead to turn existing countries into even more plutocratic dystopias than they already are, instead.

> along with the famous HN Dropbox thread.

Most people saw the utility and the use cases of Dropbox even when it launched.

What's the utility and use case of this? What problem does it solve?
Absolutely. So many people believe that:

1) ius primae noctis was a thing (it wasn’t)

2) witch hunting was a medieval thing (very late medieval thing, maybe, but mostly it was in 15-17th century)

3) flat earth as a widespread belief for wise men (it wasn’t, and both Columbus and the Council of Salamanca knew that)

We’re willing to believe that for about 1000 years Europe collectively abandoned reason, while before and after it was there. Sure, sounds logic.

> unlike Apple…

I liked the direction you were going, but I don’t think you made the right comparison. iPhones, for example, are used 30-60% longer (4-10 years) than a Samsung phone (3-6 years). Apple provides software updates for all of their devices for 6+ years.

I’ve had very few devices containing lithium ion batteries that didn’t require a new battery. I have devices from the early 2000s from Sony, HP, Dell, Nikon, and countless others whose batteries have failed.

No, you’ve intentionally tried to deflect and deceive across this entire thread, as is obvious from all the downvotes and comments you’ve received.

> The idea is that if you treat somebody like an employee, they're an employee, and that idea was allowed to be hollowed out.

Other way around. The status quo was that you could treat a contractor like an employee in everything but pay and benefits (like healthcare), and they were still a contractor.

A court ruling decreed that was no longer the case, so now for companies to have contractors at all they must draw a bright-line demarcation in perks between FTEs and TVCs. A line that is frequently dehumanizing, because dehumanizing is visible and easy to argue in a court of law.

Anyone who predicted any other outcome was naive, and those of us who want this silly pageant to end should be agitating for a law that functionally bans contracting.
Because the risk of removing ACA legislation is gone. It’s a company with very reliable revenue that will keep up with inflation with relatively low liability.

Haha in the demo he asks "when is the next solar eclipse and where is the best place to see it?" - The AI responds correctly that it's on April the 8th 2024, but then clearly hallucinates like crazy and says "the best places to see it are in Exmouth, Australia and East Timor" which is totally incorrect - this eclipse will be visible only in North America, and invisible in Australia and East Timor. Good job he didn't ask it to book flights to Australia on the 7th of April.

Steam consistently draws CPU resources. I make sure to disable it on startup. The storefront webview-wrapper also chugs hard and is much slower than just opening the site in a web browser. It updates every time it's launched. It always shows some kind of popup/advertisement... It's software I begrudgingly install.
> There's a weird cult-like attitude around 40fps that I've noticed.

As someone who learnt about this public 40fps love just a few minutes, I'd like to add that this was something I had noticed myself years ago. 40fps feels "smooth" and closer to 60fps, than 25/30fps for some reason. Unfortunately my graphics card struggled but that's a different story.
It sounds truly awful.

In Australia we have laws protecting de facto FTEs.

We even have laws mandating that co tractors must add extra to invoices to cover their Pension fund contributions! They have to charge this by law!
Other features steam develops for you with that 30% cut: Multiplayer friends list apis, cloud save apis and space, wide open VR apis (that get turned into Unreal Engine apis, game streaming, voice chat (though it's terrible by today's standards), workshop (modding and UGC) apis storage and management, Free keys to give out on other platforms which actually decreases that 30% cut depending on how much you use that functionality, built in "markets" for in game items, steam remote play apis and functionality, remote play together api (streaming gamepad stuff over networks without needing any crazy configuration or special programs), the new input system which is just incredible and can basically eliminate any work an individual game developer has to do to support powerful input tools and accessibility, free selling games on linux with very little dev work needed to support it and way less demanding bugs from linux users, built in customizable (but purposely bad) DRM if you only care for a minimal implementation, etc

"Steam" is not just a game store. It's like if walmart built an entire industry around maintaining, supporting, and extending anything you sold through them. 30% is a lot, but Valve is the only company out of basically the entire retail industry actually providing value to sellers and buyers alike, rather than just a storefront.

The CS:GO child gambling problem is HUGE though, and unconscionable. I don't know how Gabe feels about that, but I don't care. It should be exceptionally illegal to give a child access to a "gambling like" game that ever touches real money.
