Personally if I start eating less, my appetite also goes down.

But ngl, it’s real hard at first but if I can hold it together for a day or two, my body starts vibing with it or sumthin’ and I stop feeling hungry. It’s then real easy to eat less.

Funny thing is that I’m the opposite. I can’t do fasts. Impossible shit
This has been used as an attack vector in the past: spot reasonably popular plugin; make author an offer; inject whatever tracking/other malwate stuff new owners want (typically after a delay).

So now we'd have to trust the author to do thorough vetting of a potential buyer and also not sell if vetting is inconclusive. And this against an adversary aiming to cheat their way past vetting.

Might be a cynical take, but it is not one without reason.

As a sibling comment points out, this is due to the permission model. This doesn't let the author entirely of the hook though: the permissions model created the situation, the author chose a particular path. The consequences may not have been foreseen by either, but they do exist and affect users.

Can confirm. ImHex is an amazing tool for a cyber analyst because it also supports yara rulesets, so you can quickly iterate and try out whether the malware was or will be detected. And it even supports capstone to disassemble the binary, while you debug the code and edit the yara rule!

Combined with ghidra, these are pretty much the most valueable tools in my day job.

(with golang, vim, arch etc of course)
Since the entity releasing the model obviously has certain goals aligning/censoring model in some ways is good for their particular short-term goal.

In the grand scheme these alignments are harmful as they place a reality distortion field. Authors create model of what language is and then contort that model to fit an opinionated idea of what language should be. Smells a bit Orwellian, right?
Adding extra differentiators also helps people with other kinds of vision problems. The benefits of accessibility often go beyond the initial target audience.
So neutrality is all a lie.
I agree with almost all of the specific examples you give, but I think I agree _because_ those UI decisions work better for customers, and not because they are absolute right and wrong. I think I can illustrate this with some examples:

1. Consider a keyboard without an f-key, eg Arabic. If the user is using an Arabic keyboard, what should bring up the browsers 'find' functionality. Of course ctrl-f won't cut it. Perhaps it should be ctrl-[first letter of 'find' in Arabic]? Or perhaps ctrl-[the letter in the same position as f on qwerty keyboard]? It makes sense to follow convention if one is already established for Arabic, but then what about languages that are new to the web?

2. Consider a phone-tree, which is a sort of UI. For this UI, the 'absolute right answers' of minimum text contrast, font size, keyboard shortcuts, etc, make no sense, but there are surely other ways to make the UI work well for customers.

In both these scenarios, I feel the 'right' choice is to pick the UI that is best for users. I think there isn't a-priori a right answer, and users habits change over time and across cultures, so it's not necessarily an easy choice.
Would it help you get past that point if it had said "of a stable process"?

This is not a life or death decision, or that Gabo left his house to a cult: this is an unnecessary cash grab from his kids to go against his father memory.

Even if he was out of his proper mind, choosing not to publish was the elegant thing to do. They already milked their father for years, now they should earn their own money.

Giving away the novel to a national university for academic discussion would also be more elegant than this.
This is brilliant. Thank you for doing his!
Barracuda. And for plausible deniability so they don’t have as much of a chance of catching a libel suit. Not sure how necessary or effective that is, but I do understand the motivation.
> No, any float always precisely represents a specific number. The issue is that only a finite number of numbers are representable.

A float always precisely represents a specific number, but that number is not always precisely the equal to the algebraic result of the operations performed (even when ignoring transcendental and irrational functions). This should be obvious since there is no limit to rational numbers, but finite floating point numbers.

If you design your algorithms very carefully, you can end up with the ratio of the output of your algorithm to the ratio of the algebraic result close to unity over a wide domain of inputs.
It certainly does. Security usually comes at the cost of convenience and can incur confusion.

In this example, where best practice may be to use one time tokens, you will end up with users who click on the secure link again (from their email) in the future to access the secure site and they’ll be frustrated when they have to go through the secure link generation dance again.

Of course you can mitigate this with sessions / cookies, but that is also a security compromise and not device portable.

It’s easy to say that these are minor uxp
concerns, but enforcing a high level of security may have a significant user cost depending on your demographic. I have a demographic that skews older and non technical and they are pretty loud when they complain about this stuff… meanwhile they are also more likely to reuse passwords and forward emails with secure links in them!
I think parents reaction might be due the amount of shit software with pretty UIs. In the last 10 years it really feels like software has leaned towards form over function. I personally miss, simple, snappy Windows NT type UIs that were a megabyte and didn't contain a gig of custom icons or hit the GPU to like fade a window or something.

I think most people would trade opacity and fancy buttons for MS Teams to be able to load in under a minute.

You’re confused about why transit hubs, whose purpose is to move people, are built where the people are?
Train travel is a UX problem for me. I have time, I hate flying and I care about the environment.

I have made a system where meta data is encoded in program comments. Definitely heresy!
Sure. Because it's enabling you to establish such tunneling in the 1st place, when working from behind private/non-routable IP-addresses behind NAT.

Without that you wouldn't have any performance at all, in that case.
If you're using public IPs you simply don't need it, because no NAT is involved.
Example of form over function.

If the site doesn't even load, does it matter what function you use for the toggle in the settings page?

The amount on the ISS is likely extremely tiny compared to any waste produced in the manufacturing of mass consumed goods

A very tiny amount burning up at great speeds over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers is much more diluted than anything feasible on an industrial scale

It's likely cheaper to dispose of it in a controlled environment than it is to properly dilute it across the globe. And it's impossible to check that the "dilution" won't just end up being dumping it all in a single spot in the ocean devastating ecosystems
That depends.

You say these apps are shitty, but you haven’t posted any specifics. What is it that makes these apps so bad?
I don’t mind any of the apps you mentioned. I vastly prefer the music app to Spotifys UI (at the least the last time I’ve used it which is admittedly several years ago). Mail notifications are sometimes buggy but I can read my mail just fine. Most calendar apps I’ve tried, even paid once, started spamming me with subscriptions.
I do see the issues with photos, namely that Apple pretends that downloaded images are just as important as photos I took myself.

> I don't think people realize how fees and its absolutely horrible discovery is responsible for the shitty state of apps today. […] it is absolutely, 100% Apple's fault that App Store games suck, and Steam's don't.

AFAIK Steam fees are 30% as well at least for the average developer + 100$ for publishing a game. So I don’t think the fees are responsible for the shitty state of apps. I think it’s more about customers not wanting to pay for mobile apps in general. Looking at a few successful indie games, they tend to be free (and ad or iAP supported) on the App Store but are sold directly on steam. For example vampire survivors is free (+ Ads) on iOS but costs 5€ on steam. Other games release full price on IOS but the UI is so bad that it’s barely playable.
so I personally treat all my entrepreneurial endeavors the same way as I treat shares in my brokerage account.

It doesn't make a difference to me if I bought shares from someone for $36/share or if I created shares on a piece of paper for $0.00/share

If someone else buys those $0.00 shares for $36/share from me, and then those shares are worth much closer to $0.00 again, I'll make an offer and consider doing it again. Investments where you have an outsized influence on the outcome are tightly regulated but great opportunities to watch out for.

In this case, SPACs were always set up to flood the market with shares no matter what the underlying financials of the target company were like. Rosy? Still flooded with shares. Paltry? same result.

If people buy that anyway I can't consider that evil. The SEC mandated disclosures. Although in 2020 SPACs were allowed to say forward looking statements of potential target companies, and the SEC has clamped down on that because they have a paternal view that investors - the individual humans - cannot discern and are gullible, swayed by cults of personality. Personally, I think its a matter for investors, many SPAC deals did not close because investors used their discretion to not approve the movement of money into the target company and withdrew. Everyone has agency.
Isn't beef lard (as well as butter if the butter had been stored in a freezer, as well as egg yolks if baked to the point they are not liquid anymore) dangerously rich in oxysterols?

AFAIK cholesterol (famously abundant in animal fats) gets oxydized into various particularly dangerous forms (which easily pass the blood-brain barrier and actively clog blood vessels) during baking and during freezing.
You're 15 years out of date and likely wrong about any lie re:

> Their software/controls people were obviously top notch.

Ben Brockert was at controls - literally - and led Masten Space to the first place in Northrop Grumman Lunar Landing Challenge - https://www.xprize.org/prizes/lunar-lander - and he also participated in Astra activities. I'm sure experience in rocket control can accumulate...
Things in software development that have been stable in my experience:

- Weekly deploy count

- Weekly growth in lines of code

- Fraction of candidates hired

- Weekly number of bug fixes

- Weekly number of problems with a third party collaborator

- Many internal metrics generated by the software, reflecting usage etc.

- Weekly number of consultant hours required

- Monthly growth of feature flag count

- Length of standup

- Time required to complete "small" tasks (i.e. those that don't involve novelty)

- Length of successful build in CI

- Proportion of CI builds that fail at least one test

- Growth of number of tasks in backlog

I could go on. The point is that while much of the value of product development comes from novelty and variation, there are many parts of the process that remain the same from week to week.

Figuring out what these parts are and getting variation out of them allows the developer to

(a) focus creativity on systematically solving process problems instead of doing it ad hoc, and

(b) let the process recede into the background and focus creativity on creating end-user value.
Sure, okay, but there's two problems with that:
1) you have to trust the user to get that right, and
2) how do you know it's an actual hardware terminal and not a terminal emulator?
I don’t get what you mean:

Machine A -> public IP
Machine B -> behind NAT

You can always SSH from Machine B to Machine A and expose any local Machine B port to the internet as a port on Machine A. The feature is called GatewayPorts and is a standard SSH feature (at least in OpenSSH). It does not require installing anything other than SSH on Machine A (or even Machine B, unless you want a script to re-establish the tunnel upon disconnect).
Clean code talks about this very well. Like all things it's a matter of doing it write or wrong.

The checklist includes:

1 are you using comments to manage obfuscated code?
I.e. the comment isn't the problem it's the spaghetti code it makes the person feel entitled to write after

2 can the code just be a function with a clear name

3. Is the comment a non comment ?

<some others I forget the book is a great read>

That said. Plenty of times you need a good comment.
Amazingly, not in 2024.

They put shadows on otherwise flat layers - for gratuitous effect, but also to get back some separation after they've flattenned everything.
A lookup table (for any function) that covered all values between 0 and 1 in single precision, would be ~4GB; there are approximately 1B values between 0 and 1, and the result of each value is 4 bytes.

Such a table for double-precision would be much, much larger.
Skipping every other shiny new thing may not help with picking the right technology, but it certainly helps avoid the opportunity cost of learning all the wrong ones.
You're being obtuse. Even most of those you list will not reasonably have a fixed, absolute value that is right for all users, all applications, and all situations, and assuming they do is the cause of a lot of awful UI limitations.

(Your user will never need characters to render as single pixels? Try again - sooner or later someone will decide to abuse your spreadsheet as a raytracer and be annoyed they can't make cells single pixel)

And a feeling of consistentency often requires exceptions for specific cases such as the example of "find" where few users want to specifically find what happens to be in the browsers idea of what the document currently contains, but what it logically contains in their model of what it should contain. Consistency means that in an app that dynamically updates a scrollable region, for example, it should still find things in the currently not part of the browser document bits, and so shouldn't use the browsers find in those cases.

Some users might want a shortcut that always does the browsers own find, and there generally ought to be ways to override the app, but consistently acting how the user will want is rarely compatible with absolute rules.

I’ve posted this before but I love it so much I gotta do it again.

You plug in a piece of ASM from a video game ROM, and it gives you a first pass decompilation. On the left hand side you can edit this decompilation, and on the right there’s a side-by-side diff of the target ASM and what your source currently compiles to. It’s slightly gamified, looks great, is super easy to fork/share, and can be pretty addicting once you get into it. Super cool community.
The two wars are directly linked: the treatment of Germany by the Allies after WWI directly caused the rise of the NSDAP and Hitler.

I was surprised the first time I wrote a GUI framework in C, and i happened to be like this as well, everything on the screen just happens to have the properties which a window has.. A position, bounds, a drawing call, some child elements. So it emerges naturally that everything is, at the very least, a window.

So yea, I'd argue this is not some strange quirk of the X-Window system, but rather a natural property which the wise hackers decided not to spend extra effort on trying to tame.
You should have read a few more lines of that source - it also sends an "active" message to the tab, which is what adds and removes the copy/cut/paste event handlers.

Have you guys looked at using sparsification? It would probably require true re-training of the foundation model, to go at high sparse ratios (say 90% weights excluded), which could be done once on expensive GPU - but fine tuning such sparse models would require less RAM hopefully.

The trick with getting more benefit from sparse approach is to do block sparse (iirc, Tim Dettmers used to work on this as well, a few years ago), but large block size (say 16x16) would require much longer retraining to recover for the lost accuracy…
