I wonder if there is some cultural preference for this.

Looking at the map example, I find the cubic smoothing way “calmer”. The exponential one feels a bit hectic and I am wondering if it’s an American thing. It’s got a “wheez” quality that is annoying to me, but that reminds me of hyper cartoons like powerpuff girls.

It’s still all very subtle…
The analogy is only valid for NVDA. The real wealth with GPT goes to its millions of users - for $20 per month you can get the productivity of 10+ highly educated people in the hands of each user, available day and night. Those users can very realistically do what entire companies did and ship software or anything else in record time as solo creators. That boundless human invention, limited only by your imagination and levels of energy.
Thanks, I had no idea !
as a sloppy coder (until I clean it up for review) I appreciate the compliment!
> Dragon ball was definitely the show that popularized Japanese animation in the west.

Highly debateable. Saint Seiya was huge in other parts of the world, for example. Also, Sailor Moon and Pokemon - both were arguably larger than DB. For me, it was Robotech/Macross.

But yeah, DB (DBZ in particular) was hugely popular in the 90s, with Cartoon Network showing it basically over and over. And remains one of the best of its genre.

> Son Goku, is one of the faces of the hero with thousand faces

Son Goku from Toriyama is probably one of the best adaptation of the legend of Sun Wukong [1], one of my other favorites is Jan Kugo from Starzinger [2] and of course The Monkey from no other than the master Osamu Tezuka [3]

EDIT: it definitely also fits the definition that Campbell gives of the hero

From a national security & technology policy PoV, there are far too few private space companies. Space is looking very big and important, and the U.S. has far too many of its eggs in the SpaceX basket.

From a business PoV, there are far too many private space companies. Beyond satellite internet (which may have very sketchy economics) and maybe, eventually space tourism for the uber-rich, there isn't enough demand for launch services, satellites, etc. to justify even 10% of the current and near-future capacity.

But space is cool, and there are plenty of bright wanna-be rocket scientists and dim wanna-be space billionaires - so I'd expect to see plenty more launches and crashes of private space companies.
The follow-up's better imho: https://digitopoly.org/2024/03/07/after-the-gold-rush/

E.g. On biases in LLM responses and lack of explainability:

> Believe it or not, there is a historical precedent in old industrial technologies for making progress in commercial products and services before experts understood the underlying determinants. At the start of the Bessemer process being used by the US steel industry, for example, steel mills produced high-grade steel at a large scale even though nobody knew the chemistry to explain why ore from some North American locations worked so well. The science of chemistry had not caught up with the industrial processes. As a result, workers needed to learn how to fine-tune performance by recognizing the errors without knowing the underlying causes. The early US steel industry did live for decades with such uncertainty – and furnaces blew up occasionally – but there was too much money to be made.

That's a really good analogy. The question is: in this modern era of higher regulation, will capitalistic drive and risk-appetite (for things blowing up) be able to outpace lawmakers?

> we're all fully aware of that deceit

I wouldnt go as far to make this claim, as I believe more people than not fall victim of this deceit daily. See social medias.
Most likely it got tangled after attacking. Moose are well known for being heavily biased into the "fight" portion of fight/flight/freeze. They have horrible eyesight, so they are easy to "startle", resulting in a very sudden outbreak of ~500kg's of violence.

A bunch of dogs and a sled speeding around is definitely a good way to provoke one.
What is positive about the best-case scenario being worse than we thought?
If you need reset(1) to clear the screen and scrollback buffer all the time (it shouldn’t clear the buffer btw, don’t know why you think it does if you really do it all the time), consider using your terminal emulator’s native keyboard shortcut, it’s faster to type, faster to run, you can do it at any time without the shell yielding control back to you, and it doesn’t pollute the shell history.

If your terminal emulator doesn’t even have that, I suggest switching to a better one.

I hope you realize you’re doing something really suboptimal here.

Edit: Saw your other comment and apparently you don’t even use reset(1), just your own function (which is still suboptimal like I said). WTF is with all the arguing then.
Currently: 2.37187.

Not remotely close to 2.

What is the limit you would set for remotely close to 2?
You can define a keyword for this, eg. ctrl+l - `ks` (kill sticky) - enter. It has some backwards because you still can't search by name and you have to remember the keyword and there is no auto-complete, but once muscle memory gets used to it, it works pretty well.
I use keywords for bang searches (!keyword search term) and bookmarklets too.

Case in point, this thread.

I wonder what it is about people in the West over the last generation that eliminates their ability to distinguish between “not ideal” and “terrible”, if the “not ideal” is their home base.
At the risk of sounding tautological I will say that good comments are good and bad comments are bad. Code of which it is unclear why it is the way it is should be commented. Any sort of rule that comments should be written in certain places, e.g., 'comment every public method' train people to write useless comments. In a way writing a comment is an admission of loss. I have failed to write code that was clear enough, so now I have to add a comment. Most code is quite straight forward. As a rule of thumb if you have some code that is neither highly complex nor very straightforward maybe a comment is needed once every one hundred or two hundred lines.
No they weren't, Archimedes, Amiga and Ataris did survive in Europe until late 1990's, as any Computer Shopper magazine issue will prove.

The demoscene and retrogaming scene in Europe proves how relevant those systems keep being even in 2024.
SpaceX is amazing, but having Elon Musk as a critical geopolitical asset seems rather dodgy given his loud anti-Western comments recently.

> Why not? And you don't actually want to gain velocity, you'd want to change direction

If you fall towards an object and then fall away from it, there is no net force. You can’t bleed or gain delta-V simply by falling into an object and then falling away from it.

The reason planetary slingshots work is you’re “dragged” along with their orbital velocity about the Sun. You can be clever about using that to reduce the delta-V to the Sun. But it’s still more than system escape velocity.
Does the increased productivity really benefit the society, or just shareholders? If companies have the choice between doing more with 2x more productive workers, or firing half of their workforce to increase profits quickly, at least I believe most would do the latter. Or maybe my views are simply influenced by living in an European gerontocracy where economy is almost always about finding new ways to cut costs and do same with less, never about doing more or better.
Thanks, that helped me to find an article or two. Tesla's solution looks... okay to me? Turn left, push left hand button on the steering wheel. Turn right, push right hand button on the steering wheel. Of course, this setup has a few fail cases the conventional solutions have not, but that is true for Tesla's steering yoke as a whole. Both seem to require more dexterity for no clear advantage, but they are also not the end of the world.
There's a difference between input and output metrics to be considered too. Attempting to manage the output metrics directly rather than addressing the underlying causes is almost always the wrong thing to do.
I hate animations like that because they are intentionally slowing down the UI. I already clicked it, why are you spending several milliseconds to update your state?

Animations, or anything else really, should only be used to improve things. Ask what the problem is, not what cool solution I should implement. It's ok to go to town if the page is artistic, like your blog, but if I'm filling out a form? Get your art out of here.
Well...it's very suitable for people outside of mainland China to experience what Chinese people experience online.

Test doubles serve as an alternative to real dependencies in testing. In this post, we'll review all test doubles using a real-world Go example.
If de-orbiting is your concern, then I would suggest taking a step back and considering the impact on our atmosphere of increasing the number of launches.

This isn't a theoretical question. There's growing awareness among researchers that there's a need to research how the gasses and particles produced by rocket launches at scale could have an impact on the atmosphere.

EU law only applies in the EU, but an actor who doesn't respect EU law outside of the EU may be refused business in the EU. I agree the precedents are not strong to propose an outright ban (eg. Coca Cola murdering trade unionists and forest defenders in South America) but it would perfectly make sense on paper.
I haven't tried Claude, Gemini was pretty bad the first time I tried it, and GPT4 is pretty good... for coding. I never thought to use any of them as a "conversational agent" before as they weren't advertised as such. Note I consider this distinct from models just having a conversational interface.
While that seems to be more common by a fairly large factor, in a quick search of images of toggle buttons there were at least two examples of left being on already in the top 10 for me.

I also found a few that had both variants in the same image, and a few examples where from the image alone I couldn't tell if my life depended on it whether they are in the left or right position, and what that means because there's no shading or geometrical hint as to which part is meant to be the actual toggle.

I wish you were right and that this was consistent, and when I read it I did that image search because I hoped you were and that I somehow just hadn't realist. But sadly it's not consistent.

That said, the same image search also demonstrated people managing to mess up the equivalent of a checkbox too (by changing the label, so it's not clear if it needs to be "ticked" to disable the state currently indicated by the label) so it's clear the problem isn't just checkbox vs. toggle.
> Even worse, there are some that restrict what kind of special character you can use

Even worse, there are some that restrict special characters, but don't tell you which!

Now you've got to go trial and error to find out which of the special characters in your password is not acceptable to that precious §("/$& website!
Employee ownership is moral imperative. Worker owned co-ops should be de rigueur, not a rarity. It's absurd that companies like Amazon force people to work for peanuts and pee in bottles and yet reap enormous profits that aren't shared with those who made them.
The author works at some pretty shit companies if these bozos are the leadership there.

Or he has been working at profitable companies where he is working in a cost center vs. a profit center and thus doesn't really matter.

Tech in Australia is bleak, the place who's top tech company is Atlassian, creator of some of the most loathed software in the world forced on others by such as described here. Does he work there? Wouldn't be surprised that a place that made JIRA would do this to their own staff. #2 is Canva, a mail order print shop.

The internet is some of the shittiest and expensive in the developed world because it's so captured by the local telecom monopoly. It's the place with the worse anti-espionage laws. It's the country that the other ones in the 5 eyes go to do the most unethical spying because even their own fig leaf laws prevent them from doing so. Bleak bleak bleak.

Get out and go somewhere competent, like the US west coast or western europe. You obviously have taste, go to somewhere with some taste.

Yeah, this is why Quake's logic for a lot of game things - monsters, weapons, moving platforms - is written in a byte-code interpreted language (QuakeC). The idea was to separate it from the engine code so modders could easily make new games without needing access to the full engine source.
(And QuakeC was supposed to be simpler as a language than C, which it... is, but at the cost of weird compromises like a single number type (float) which is also used to store bitfields by directly manipulating power of two values. Which works, of course, until your power of 2 is big enough to force the precision to drop below 1...)
As someone who works in IT for roughly 30 years, and who never fell for any kind of phishing, I beg to differ. I think my interpretation of reality, as you put it, isn't as bad as you might believe. Also, all the phishing-victims I know have something in common, a certain lack of rigour. You seem to claim that everyone can fall for phishing. I beg to differ, its a certain class of not very thorough (l)users.

Your comment regarding enshitifcation has some truth to it I didn't really think about yet, thanks.

However, my original comment still stands as it is. I challenge anyone to create a voice scam that fools me.
One important thing I think many miss about this discussion is that we’re not advocating some kind of asshole witch hunt, or new laws for banning assholes to concentration camps or anything. It’s just that IMHO content like this article is important because it’s inherently human; it’s a person ranting and letting the steam off. He is an individual who has made a decision to stay away from people who don’t make him feel good. Reasoning about things like this and making such decisions (and sharing them with those around you) are precisely what makes us human (at least in a free society).

We should treasure subjective but honest content like this even if we don’t agree completely with it. Considering that most of what we see published online nowadays is targeted optimized content to make you feel or do something specific, and considering the future we’re heading towards, where much (maybe most?) of the content will be AI-generated , I treasure this very much.
> Computer UIs need animations for the same reason they need shadows, gradients, and momentum:

The thing about design principles is that the designer picks the one that justifies their decision, which is more like fashion than anything.

For example: Windows 8 swept away shadow, and semi-transparent material in the name of flat design, making it resemble Windows 2.0. Windows 10 brought back shadow. Windows 11 brought back Semi-transparent material and also rounded corners buttons from Windows 2.0.

Gradients have been banished and missing for a decade, but I am waiting for a come-back.

> because these are aspects of the physical world that we already know how to interpert, so can be used "for free" to aid our understanding of the UI.

The above could also apply to more than just shadows, gradients, and momentum.

Skeuomorphic icons help users understand functions but we have shape & outlines resembling hieroglyphs. I doubt we are getting skeuomorphic icons back ever because font icons are just too awesome for designers.

Most real world buttons are elevated off the surface to let us know it is pressable, but digital buttons now just have a white or colored pill shape around it. I can't recall the last time I saw a pill shaped button in the real world.

If you look up “paper cities” google also has “paper public transportation” and it will give me a route from my house starting at a bus stop that doesn’t exist on a bus that doesn’t exist. It’s super annoying when inviting people over because I have to explain that they shouldn’t use Google maps because it will give impossible directions.
I appreciate the effort that goes into animation like this, but I always have to wonder, especially in the context of the web if it's worth all of the additional code and development time for such a minor detail. Do our users even notice?
I've been using both Immich and Nginx Proxy Manager for a while now, it's the first time that I see Cryptpad, it looks like an awesome tool.

I recently tried the Collabora Online integration in Nextcloud, but was quite disappointed with it, the right-to-left button was greyed out for no apparent reason, and creating shapes and moving then around felt sluggish (clicking the rectangle tool directly added a rectangle in the middle of the slide, which I could then drag around and resize, but the transformation tools seemed buggy and didn't really work well).

I'll certainly try out Cryptpad
I always wonder when hearing about these old optimizations why they aren't used in contemporary code. Wouldn't you want to squeeze every bit of performance even on modern hardware?
My wife actually uses Google Maps a lot for restaurants and places to go when we are traveling outside our country, but not for navigation. I find that funny, since this is a Maps app after all.

As for navigations it's either Apple Maps or Waze, depending on the country.

I have to correct my self, the war length was not between 1-10 years, it was between 1-12 when I checked again.

And about "Hundreds of years of wars." I counted for fun how many years in total Sweden and Danmark was in war with each other between 1207 when the first war started to 1814 when the last one ended, and it was around 54 years in total, over a period of 4 centuries. (54 years are dependent how you count, if a war started 1207 and ended 1208 it could have been both 1 and 2 years long, so I counted 1,5 for all wars. So at best it was 47 years or at worst 64 with a mean time of 3,6 year per war).
