I wonder though if Copilot had fared better here had it been told to pay attention to accessibility.

I mean, maybe it should do it by default (and maybe it could be part of its system prompt or otherwise in its material), but it's still a tool that needs some expertise for using, even if it's trying its best to trick people into believing otherwise. Ultimately I don't think there's a solution to people misusing tools.

Paraphrasing sentiment I don't quite recall exactly: "If anyone can do it, then anyone will."
> The goal of software is not to look pretty, it's to be functional.

Funny how web apps invariably fail in that regard, too.

> Web apps are more functional than native apps by my metrics.

So far you haven't described any metrics

> because I use software to do things.

So do I. And web apps always get in the way of me doing things: they lag, they perform poorly, they break al platform conventions, they hog resources,they can barely display static information without breaking etc.
Sounds like a fit issue. I code all day. Recliner, couch, standing. Mac link at 5k emulation. Apple assigned me 21w, but I found it unusable. 36w put weight on outer cheekbones and was finally wearable. Removing the light seal and using some pads as spacers is how I use it now. Larger FOV. A bit weight and less cantilever

Do most routers really do that, or just the ones which are also trying to act as a firewall?
There's a Computer Chronicles episode somewhere on YouTube (doubtless also on archive.org in higher quality) where a Microsoft rep shows off Windows 3's user interface, and they outright say it looks like Presentation Manager, so it'll prepare users for OS/2. Back when MS hadn't decided to kill OS/2!

I might be wrong here, but I was under the impression that their sovereignty was something they possess of their own accord and not merely because the Federal government chose to recognize them?

I seem to remember being taught in school that the native american reservations exist because of treaties signed by the united states government with sovereign nations (those nations being the native americans) and that the US government is obligated to respect their autonomy and sovereignty by the terms laid out in those treaties.

i don't mean to contradict your claims that the Federal Government has a long history of violating these treaties, as that is undoubtedly true. i'm just curious because the way i interpreted your description makes it seem as if they're only autonomous because the federal government has chosen to recognize them.
I loved/love Muse and was a happily paid user (still am).

It ticked a lot of boxes that no other tool did or does, and for that reason it retains a place in my toolbox of thinking/ideation instruments.

But there are a couple of fairly minor things (compared to the scope of the rest of the project) that stop me from reaching for it more often. They come down to factors that make the tool feel satisfying to use, and chief among them: does using this tool produce aesthetically pleasing output that I want to keep looking at, and want to make more of?

For me the answer was no, or at least I can get better results elsewhere.

One problem was the limited colour support. I understand their reasoning behind this - too much customisability can lead you to fiddle with your tools, so by limiting your options, you have no choice but to start putting pencil to (virtual) paper and get your work done. But I didn't like the colours, so the end result didn't look as nice to me as output I made elsewhere, which discouraged me from using it.

Another problem was handwriting ink. My digital handwriting always seems to look worse than on real paper and ink but for whatever reason, Muse is one of the least forgiving tools in this regard. Looking at my handwriting in my Muse boards made me want to use the text tools instead, which then meant I was giving up the benefits of mixing freeform note taking with sketching, and the other benefits that brings one to Muse in the first place.

It's hard for me to shake the feeling that with a little more attention to some otherwise neglected lower hanging fruit, the retention of a whole class of users would be rather significantly boosted. But at the same time, it's hard for me to imagine that my idle thoughts on the matter would bear out more successfully than those of the dedicated user research team originally behind the project.
Your point has it's merits, but I still say that the anger isn't the problem -- the root of the anger as you point out is some false narrative (maybe even true, past abuse, PTSD etc). The anger is drawing attention to a problem -- if the problem is your internal world, then go fix that (reflection, therapy etc).

If you properly address anger, it goes away. If you don't, it stays or comes back. So what you do in response to anger gives you control over whether the anger returns.

Maybe put another way: You are in control of what you do when angry, and those choices impact whether or not the problem is actually resolved. You are in control over whether the problem gets resolved or not -- you are in control of whether or not the anger returns.
Indeed, it was interesting when VW announced they‘d hire 10k engineers to build an automotive OS. Of course it hasn’t worked out and they needed to restart the effort (with 5k devs it seems?).
A couple of things:

> level 2: if not provable (can't prove level 0) then can't prove undecideable. (Goldbach, Collatz)

If you're operating in the ordinary naturals, neither Goldbach nor Collatz are undecidable. The statements are either true or false. The question at hand is whether we can generate a finite proof of that fact in a given axiomatic system. The quote at hand simply said that if no such proof exists (obviously implying the statements are true because otherwise a simple finite proof would be a counter-example) then similarly no finite proof of that lack of existence exists either.

They might be undecidable in other arithmetic systems (implying that some models of those systems would have the statements be true and some would have them be false), but not for the naturals.

> Which means there's no level infinity, since there's no level infinity minus 1 to talk about so it's meaningless. Correct?

When you're making up a new definition, you care about (1) is it coherent (don't want to be like the proverbial Ph.D. who made up an exciting mathematical object and studied it for years before finding out no such objects could exist), (2) what can you deduce about that object, and (3) is it "useful" (for some broad definition thereof).
The question of "meaningfulness" can lead you down incorrect paths because it merges (2) and (3). The definition you picked for the broad concept you have in your mind has no level "infinity" because you snuck the naturals into the definition as the indexing set (defined using the successor function). If we strictly look at point (2), yes, there's no "infinity".

The general concept you're looking at though might more naturally fit in a world where there are infinities (i.e., let's look at point (3) a bit more). As a rule of thumb, if you're looking at a set of things indexed by the naturals, especially if they have a successor function, especially if they're defined inductively, especially if their interesting properties are defined in terms of all previous items, it's natural to take a look at indexing via the ordinals and trying to define them via transfinite induction.

For this particular set of things, that may or may not be straightforward. The notions of unprovability, undecidability, ... are a bit intricate, and you need to define them with respect to the system being studied and the system being used to study them. Right now, your inductive definition _seems_ to also require a predecessor function (which, if intrinsic to the property being analyzed would preclude many attempts to wrangle in some infinities), but I wouldn't be surprised if a careful re-writing found that to be an extraneous detail, in which case you could add in a limiting case (defining f(w) in terms of f(n) for all n<w for all limit ordinals w).
I grok IP-fragmentation because IDS/IPS/NDS/XDS all have to splice packets together to get to the payload data ... at 5Gbps.

At that nosebleed speed, FPGA is designed to do such defragmentation of IP as well as assembly of UDP reassembly and TCP desegmentation.

Very fast.

Including a bulk of FPGA dedicated to the overlapping payload that hackers often play tricks on such IDS, et. al.

That is probably the ONLY beef I have with RFCs covering IP/TCP/UDP: did not detail what to do in event of overlapping packets (first overlapped takes precedence or last overlapped overrides old data?)

> In a lot of ways, in fact, “AI” is just the newest iteration of a very old form of colonial capitalism; build a wall around something you didn’t create, call it yours, and charge for access. (And when the natives complain, call them primitive and argue they’re blocking inevitable progress.)

This is pithy, but the dynamic between OSS devs and Microsoft/OpenAI is not exactly comparable to the dynamic between a colonial government and an indigenous population. I don’t think it really needs to be said, but open-source maintainers are not colonized natives.

Even overlooking the very questionable metaphor, they’re not building a wall around existing repositories of code and selling them back to us. They spent a lot of money training an AI model on that code, and now they’re selling access to that model. You don’t need to pay Microsoft for access to the GitHub repos or Stack Overflow answers that they trained on.

That would be the ideal, but a secondary deterrent is the Streisand effect.

If I had the time, I would love to aggregate listings from Lumen that use sites like uniontimes and thetribunepost to instigate false takedowns, and list them all so that they would come up in a Google search showing that someone had (fraudulently) tried to have the stories removed. I’m not sure how much of a deterrent it would be, but I imagine that sort of thing would at least prevent people from recommending the fake-takedown approach to others.
ECC RAM doesn't prevent _all_ hardware transient errors. It doesn't even prevent the majority of them.

But whenever you get a bug report, is really the first thing that comes to mind "maybe their hardware had a transient error?"? The amount of software vs hardware bugs is still like a thousand to one, and that's _even_ for companies which receive a disproportionate amount of hardware errors (like OS vendors). For regular software, I'd bet it's a couple million to one.
Its seems milder in France. Also, it seems that 5 to 6% of students are bullied which I find quite weird. Maybe it's because I'm from a very rural area, but i'm pretty sure bullying wasn't a thing, at least physically, and harassment didn't last long ended up in physical fights between two people, or two groups of people (sometime not even by affinity, just because he was in my class and we didn't took shit from underclassmen).
Marriage among the landed gentry were both economic and emotional arrangement and the novels explore the tension between these aspects.

> Don’t wait so long your anger fizzles to complacency or you suppress your emotions into obliteration. “You lose the benefits of anger,” Parrott says.

What I will say is that, for me, the most effective decision for my life has been to just move away from sources of anger. To not do anything out of anger, even positive actions, even in cold blood. Call it complacency, but I think if you only do something because you're angry about it, it's not something you should be doing in the first place. Find a better reason, one that makes sense without emotion being the driver.

It took me well into my thirties to realize the most common metaphor for suppressing anger was wrong. People say you're bottling up your anger if you don't express it, or at least use it. The idea is that it'll explode eventually if you don't vent it. But a better metaphor would be a fire, which you want to keep contained and starved of oxygen, and if you don't contain it it'll just grow and grow and take on its own life.

Why would that be preferable over having routers just drop oversized packets and send icmp message to sender?
UXTU is unfortunately not very well written. I actually have a commit on this repo (actually the handheld version because for some reason, that's a hard fork) to stop it from leaking process handles (a resource that can't be reclaimed on Windows, except with a reboot)... and it adds up fast since UXTU runs `powercfg` every 2 seconds or so.
These code generation systems should probably prepend a hidden "Generate accessible, secure, maintainable etc code" prompt

I'm more surprised that it is the top comment. I may be misreading, but I'm not quite sure how your comment is promoting discussion.

One of the things I find surprising about propaganda is that so many people think they are immune to it but do not ask why it is so effective. I think the obvious bad propaganda is propaganda to make you feel like you are good at recognizing it while enabling more subtle propaganda to sneak in the back door.
The key issue is not the power of the tool but the tool powerfully amplifying practices that ought to be resisted but exist in the majority of the code in the wild.
I've come to largely agree with the author. These days, I keep it off by default, but is a Cmd+' away from being flipped on and filling in what I _know_ to be boilerplate that's well suited. If I was younger with less money, I probably couldn't justify the price, but these days if it can save me a half hour of busywork per month on my personal projects the $10 is more than worth it.

Leaving it on while doing any thoughtful or challenging coding is super distracting for me.

I wonder if there was also some business sabotage in effect.

It would have been extremely tempting for Intel to pressure motherboard manufacturers with some subtle messages like "Nice AMD750 board, too bad we don't have any more 440BX chips for you."

The Athlon debuted with only like three compatible mainboards, and two of them were minimally rebadged versions of the AMD reference design.
Of course, it was still too compelling of a platform to ignore, and everyone got on board soon enough. But if R&D had stayed away from the Athlon market for an extra 6 months or a year, that could manifest in worse board design and optimization for quite a while.
If you know more than others, that's great—please share some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn. But please don't post putdowns or shame other people for being wrong. We're all mostly wrong about most everything, after all.

It's not playing lawyer, it's agreeing upon some terminology for the purpose of discussion. I was accused of making up terms, I didn't, I used existing terms from one particular standard. The very reason I used existing terms from a standard was to avoid the very accusation I got anyway in this hackernews thread, but that's the internet for you.

I even mention in the article that the term fault is used differently in the context of hardware faults, different standards have different meanings for the same terms, which is why I also lay them out and don't expect you to know the standard in the article.

> They seem to care more about the LLM delivering code with poor accessibility than they care about the LLM delivering completely wrong answers.

I think the idea with this is that if it gives you completely wrong answers and the code doesn't work, it will obviously not work and have to figure out how to fix it.

Meanwhile when it gives you code that appears to do what you wanted except the accessibility is broken, you'll ship it because you don't realize there's anything wrong with it.
You're trying to apply persuasive logic to something that doesn't need persuasive logic. It is what it is.

The vacuum cleaner analogy didn't land for me. I've bought that vacuum cleaner, and I didn't return it.

I'm referring to one of the countless models of robot vacuum, of course. They clean the floor, most of it, most of the time, but they miss spots, they get stuck on things, and they don't have the suction of a full-size vacuum.

I wish none of those things were true, but it saves me labor nonetheless, so I kept it. I can detail corners and pull the thing off the corner of the rug, and still get a mostly-clean floor, automatically. Sure, it doesn't get all the schmutz out of carpets, but it gets enough that I can go over them monthly instead of weekly.

Yes, I'm talking about LLM code assistants. They have embarrassing failure modes, but experienced developers get a sense of what they can and can't do, and the result is something which saves time. I've found they're particularly good at "dumb debugging", where there's some fat-fingered error in the code and I can't spot it just by looking. I can copypasta the function into ChatGPT in seconds, and it gives a step-by-step description of what the code does, which routinely points out exactly where the bug is.

I have my concerns about what these tools will do to the up-and-coming generation of developers, it's easy to imagine them as a crutch, training wheels which never come off. But that's a separate matter, and I trust that the more natively talented juniors will recognize the hazard there, and understand that a chatbot can't substitute for becoming a skilled programmer.

I dont like the progressive word because you do not need it and I am minimalistic

however, at the beginning they tried to force some "progressive" things like responsive design or offline etc. I can understan what they wanted, no need to think of it as self marketing

I like the clarity of websites and we should learn that they can be very powerful: responsive websites, offline functioning websites etc... they can use sooo many web capabilities

I define apps as standalone UX and I use "switch to standalone" instead of "install" (that is what actually happens if someone creates a manifest file which is governed by a draft, not yet standard)

so a website can be implicitly a web app in the sense of rich functionality (responsive, offline) without being used in standalone mode

it will be explicitly a web app if switched to standalone mode from tab mode... this is an important distinction since even if nothing is installed this is a decision from the user to use it from the OS and outside of the browser as a standalone window and on some platforms it may give it some extra rights (local data storage will never be cleared by nice companies like Apple without asking the user, push notifications might be coupled with this decision now or in the future etc)

but I agree, this progressive thing is the past... it actually became the past when browsers gave a shit about what the site ctually functionally can when granting that app button and standalone mode
