It heavily depends on your area though. It's often way behind Google Maps, in every populated place I've tried it in the USA. (Businesses are years out of date, roads are missing or incorrect, etc.)

I do contribute to OSM, but day to day I find Google Maps + Alltrails + Trailforks to be more practical (all paid, closed source, but high quality data).

Google Maps also has free offline tiles. Those other two have paid offline maps, but it's worth it to not have to always wonder if your map is accurate.
I'm a bit confused by this statement. Isn't GURPS EXTREMELY mechanics based? I can figure out the penalties for shooting a guy in the left eye as I speed by on my motorcycle at night. The combat is extremely detailed relative to a system like D&D which is more abstract. I know if you buy the advantage wealth in GURPS, it gives you multipliers for your starting wealth. It's entirely up to the campaign and how it's run whether you need to account for all of that spending or not. Typically if you're a millionaire, I wouldn't bother with normal purchase accounting. There is a published rule for abstract wealth to avoid this accounting. I feel like GURPS is pure mechanics, and you bring your own settings and feel to it.

Just to add to that: confidence is often a wonderful substitute (or an enhancer?) for conventional physical attractiveness.
Like almost all of these publications, for HN purposes this title really needs "in mice" explicitly added to the end, because there is no reason for a Nature publication to put it in, but a lot of folks will never read the paper.

Ask HN: Does anyone use any AI tools in their Frontend/Design workflow?
Been seeing a lot of AI tools in the frontend/design space lately. The tech is definitely mindblowing, but I can't tell if they are just excitement or legitimately useful. I've tried a few of them out, but haven't quite figured out a way to make them useful for my daily workflow.

Some example tools I've seen & tried recently:

- tldraw's MakeItReal

- Vercel's v0.dev

- usegalileo.ai

- Picoapps: Screenshot to Code

I'm always looking for ways to make engineering & design work faster for myself, so was wondering how people have integrated these tools into their workflows to get the most value.

They would also punish without letting the person know who/when/where they were accused by.

I guess it depends on what you think he predicts would happen. If it's workers revolting against capitalists, then sure, the trickle of bread works to diffuse this. If it's that economic relations would continue to define class relations, then he was absolutely spot on.
Why is this downvoted? It's speculation and may be wrong (I don't think it is), but it's a perfectly legitimate thought that any other company on the planet would receive from HN without the downvotes.

The downvoting anything critical of Apple is getting ludicrous. Maybe you believe they are a benevolent user-loving company who always does what's best for their users regardless of how it affects their business, but viewpoints who don't share that position aren't automatically wrong because they have a different opinion than you. Skeptical people are what built the hacker community. If you don't want to embrace that spirit, at least don't try to silence it.

Edit: And yes, whether Apple would want this or not is very relevant, because if you read the article, they do not sell to consumers. The only customer for this would be Apple, and having Apple buy their product and put it in macbooks is the strategy they are pursuing.
I think a big reason developers don't choose WebKit is due to the Windows port requiring significant work, and most new browsers want to support Windows.

I disagree with nearly this entire post, which is fun. I find that the poly blend shirts that the author loves (especially like the MongoDB shirt) are clingy and sweaty. Softness is low on my list of shirt priorities - comfort and fit are high. I don't know how you could see "mongoDB" and not think it is tech, but maybe I'm too mired in tech to have an outsider's perspective. Also, that dark heathered grey color is everywhere in tech shirts right now and it just screams tech. The only one of these with a good design is the Altibase shirt, but it suffers from having the ugliest color.

Worst “customer service” I’ve ever had with Google is with their Google Cloud FDEs and PMs. The best strategy is to use Google Cloud as leverage to re-negotiate AWS or Azure bills or use free gcloud credits and then don’t sign. Don’t ignore them, treat them as they treat you.
I've encouraged a friend to do this for reasons of burnout, but he seems to think it's not feasible. I really don't know how realistic it is. For me, getting laid off with a decent severance and then finding a nicer (not so much in the money, but I do OK enough) employer has been really helpful for my burnout, but it has taken years to really get better.
> It's really hard to do this well and not be boring however.

Takes like these are very odd to me. The parent comment is basically saying to have a conversation and if it goes well ask the person out. If said person finds your conversation boring then why would you want to date them in the first place?

So much discourse online about dating is "I HAVE to do X and Y and Z and it's just exhausting", but why? Why go through all this effort if you don't want to? Isn't the whole point of dating to find someone who makes you happy and likes you for who you are?
I’ve always enjoyed the system used in Dark Souls games where you collect souls as a currency and can use souls to buy items, improve weapons, or level up. This makes it so souls always carry value and makes it fun having to weigh the benefits of buying a desired item or leveling up.

The game furthers the concept by making souls an attribute you always carry on you and can lose entirely when you die unless you recover them from your dead body before dying again. You can go from very wealthy to very poor quite quickly by trying to push a bit longer to obtain more souls to level up. Or you can cash out if you feel like the risk of continuing your adventure is too great. This concept combines well with reusable health potions that only refill after resting at the site where you can spend your souls.
In the man*hours building is cheaper nowadays but the nominal cost of labor is much more thus the total cost is higher. The labor costs raises because supply has constricted. I figure the reason is that many choose degrees in random subject and retail work afterward instead of trades, which is understandable as trades are much harder and the degrees are subsidized.
Similar idea can be used for progress bar in console using Unicode block symbols.
The field of LLM reasoning is far from stable atm. I think it's pretty hard for anyone to give confident predictions about what they can or cannot do in 5 years. In that light, I am skeptical about any claims that they cannot do something anytime soon.

> Unless I’m missing something, leaping over this factor, as seems to be the mainstream approach, indicates to me that some techno-utopic-transcendentalism bias is at play.

Yeah, at some level. The universe that we observe doesn't seem to be set up, in the current epoch, to have very tight resource limits other than time. Energy is plentiful. The main cost of anything is opportunity cost. Sure, simulating a universe might cost /our/ civilization so much compute capacity that we have to choose between than and advertising Christmas sales, and that's clearly no choice at all -- but it only takes a small percentage of similar planets to hold civilizations that are just slightly more advanced to make this a reasonable freshman project, and at that point, plentitude creeps in again. Basically -- and I agree this can totally be interpreted as utopianism -- it's hard to imagine a line between "it is possible to build a computer capable of computing <X>" and "it is expensive, on the scale of reasonably-advanced civilizations, to build a computer capable of computing <X>."
You can make large fans quiet, people do it all the time... it's just a design choice to not do it (since usually it involves size tradeoff). I assume this would be quite expensive to cool a PS5 though, since PS5s need hundreds of watts of cooling (so, you'd need like 20 of these modules?).
I was trying to set up a similar thing. I already do the google takeouts every few months (~400GB, I don’t have issues with export though), but so far have been storing all of them.

How do you do the diff between the old and new encrypted versions? Do you encrypt and upload the takeout .tar.gz files, or do extract first then encrypt?
I know I compute like a caveman at times, so a few points that might sound downright archaic:

* If I have over 1k bookmarks, that probably means it's time to go in for spring cleaning and start deleting some

* Other comments have made it apparent that you can tag bookmarks, but I personally just prepend the names of bookmarks like "javascript js - How to reverse a singly linked list GeekForGeeks" to make it easier for me to search for it in the future.

In the end, I prefer the benefit of not having an extra site/tool like Instapaper/Pocket/Shiori to have to deal with.
I had a kid in early 2021 and was in the throws of burnout at work at that time. I'm out the back end of it now and didn't have to make any drastic changes. Here's what worked for me (most important first):

- Lowered my expectations for fulfillment/advancement at work during this period. It's OK to just make a sincere effort at work and put your career in maintenance mode for a few years. It'll still be there when you come back. Also, work doesn't have to be a source of great enjoyment or fulfillment in life, it's OK if it's just a job (again, that can be temporary too).

- Shift into a lower stress role at work. For me I work in research and part of my burnout was feeling the weight of needing to innovate continually. I shifted into a more well-defined engineering focused role for a while and rapidly felt relief from the pressure.

- Took care of my health. Slept when I had opportunity, ate well, cut back on booze, exercised (but without pressure to achieve anything in particular).

Overall though, I'd definitely say you've got to look at the whole picture. Having a young kid is probably not independent from the burnout, so you probably can't feel better purely by focusing on career changes.
> This is just back to the old problem: most research is irrelevant to anyone beyond a few researchers and largely inconsequential to the world. This means, there will be no money for replication for most things.

If it's inconsequential, then wouldn't that money be better spent on replications or other research that is consequential? I'm not really clear on what you're suggesting. Although maybe I wasn't really clear on what I've been suggesting.

Edit: to clarify, there are multiple ways to reorganize research. Consider an approach similar to physics, where there's an informal division between theoreticians and experimentalists. What if we have two different kinds of publications in social sciences, one that's proposing and/or refining experimental designs to correct possible sources of bias, and another type of publication that is publishing the results of conducting experiments that have been proposed. The experimentalists simply read proposals and apply for grants to conduct experiments, and multiple groups can do so completely independently. Conducting the experiment must strictly adhere to the proposed experimental design, no deviations can be permitted as is so common in social science when they find uninteresting results, otherwise this breaks the reliability of the results. A proposal should probably undergo a few rounds of refinement before experimentalists should feel confident in conducting the experiment, but I think the overall approach could work.
Ironically: those votes made their plight even worse. Spend enough marketing money and say the right magic words and you can easily get people to vote against their own interests. That's something I always hated about democracy: that people tend to be divided by talking points and emotional issues that don't matter all that much and then vote into power parties that will rob them blind. Case in point: in NL we have had a center-right coalition for a really long time. But that presumes that the fraction of people that voted for the main party (VVD) is wealthy enough that the VVD is accurately reflecting their interests. They don't! But immigration policy allowed the VVD to get a whole raft of people to vote for them. Such divide and conquer tactics are really nasty and subvert democracy at its core, it allows a few wealthy individuals (not quite 'the elite', but definitely the top 10% or so) to use democracy as the ultimate form of regulatory capture: it makes them become the regulators bosses, and they get to make the laws as well.

In almost any normal society the 'left' would be 80 to 90% of the vote and if it isn't that's usually because of some demagogue or trick, immigration, religion, frustrations about various (often perceived) injustices and so on.
And also if you could combine that with some kind of representation software like Lean that can validate proofs, perhaps you can generate some kind of targeted search of the problem space and with a combination of a general high level strategy and maybe brute force of some sub-problems, find novel solutions. My understanding is that is the common human approach: gain some kind of intuition of problem, try a few things and then iteratively refine. Sometimes that works, sometimes you need to find a new starting point. It seems plausible we could automate that workflow, with likely mixed but still useful results.
A lot of work done quickly (in parallel); possibly for lower cost than previous alternatives.
The frequency of article visits probably resembles a Pareto distribution. So there would be many many articles with very few views, including new articles.

> would we intuitively accept the same laws of logic if we lived in an universe that was obviously some kind of many worlds universe, where it always rains and doesn't rain?

You don't have to change the laws of logic that you use to do unitary QM (which, taken to extremes, is what gives you a "many worlds universe"). You can describe it just fine using mathematical equations based on the same laws of logic you're familiar with.

In other words, what you are calling "standard logic" actually contains many more possibilities than just the simple Boolean "rains or doesn't rain".

Why is it every other day there's a thread that goes something like "We used AI to find a new way to avoid jail time completely in the Prisoners Dilemma"? Yeah, if you defect you gain benefit for yourself while making the world worse. Doing things that don't benefit you directly to make the world better, and not doing things which do benefit you and make the world worse, is WHAT MORALITY IS.

Knowingly making the world a worse place because it brings benefit to you is immoral, full stop. Knowingly screwing over other people because it brings benefit to you, tricking other people into viewing your website by lying to them about the authenticity of the information, abusing the trust people have to not be giant asshats - all of these are immoral.

I'm upvoting this post because more people need to see a very clear and obvious example of what not to do. If you have ever thought about things like this, you need to change your ways.

A lot has been made of the "pre-AI" internet as a sort of barrier for training sets as it will flood the internet with AI content that will be difficult to parse out later.

For the bullish-AI types, is there a prevailing hope that "human content" may itself be an artificial barrier and a properly trained AI could generate better training content for future AI generations? Is this strictly in "AGI" territory?
I asked for a raise this summer and they wouldn't accommodate that so I quit. I was burnt out and the company was asking for ridiculous things like 24-hour incident response without being on-call and paid for it.

Right now I am mostly playing gigs and running sound. A lot of pushing boxes and a little "figure out why the mic isn't sounding right". It's cold in Colorado, but boondocking in my truck at these remote gigs is kind of a fun challenge for now and knowing how has opened up a lot of possibilities for other fun sounding travel.

Most of my time is off, and I am spending that time writing and making music with the folks I like, and doing little experiments with analog electronics just to try and learn a bit.

On one hand, the only reason I feel okay just working intermittently like this is that a) my kiddos are grown and I don't want more b) I have enough in the bank that I can jut bum around doing these gigs indefinitely and c) my living situation is simple and doesn't have a lot of costs. I'm 45, my kids are graduating college this year, I'm not married, etc. "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" and all that.

I've also have had a couple careers, as a teacher at a university and as a programmer for the web.

One of the realizations I've had is that my agency job didn't pay an amazing amount more than, say, bar tending at a good bar.

My day rate as a stage hand / sound guy is quite a bit more than my "day rate" as a programmer, but I couldn't block out any of the 5 days a week I was working to just go and do whatever I felt like. The trade off is that I don't get anywhere near as many days of work.

All that is to give some context to a point: a lot of the folks I know let their fantasy of who they are override the material reality of what they are actually doing with their time.

In that my "professional" careers as a programmer or educator, I was getting a lot out of identifying as a programmer or teacher. There is some value to that.

What I did not realize was that these identities weren't really worth much. Being a good father and respected musician (neither of which are worth any money) are both worth more to me.

Or, to put it a different way, I really wasn't getting paid as much as I was thinking I was, especially compared to other, similarly competent folks in the service industry and trades.

Giving up a bunch of freedom so I could worry about problems with my software 24/7 was neither fair to myself nor even all that necessary.

I can't comment on your specific situation, but I can say that "switching careers" really hasn't been all that much of a problem once I realized that most of what I was getting were idealized notions of "stability" and a rather class-inflected notion of my position in the labor pool, neither of which is ultimately worth very much at all.
Your example is overly focused on a small detail. I think what the parent commenter means, is that it's fairly uncommon to see highly attractive women who subscribe to the idea of "everyone is beautiful" date conventionally unattractive men.
