That statement still isn't false today.
Even if you have the full menu on your phone, you still have to zoom into the menu to read it and pan the view. I don't see how that's any different from scrolling through a categorized menu in a website on your phone.
The employees are clearly engaging in fraud by doing non-work activities on the clock. The companies know this because they haven’t hired anyone to do customer service.
Better the opposite - date by default and on hover human readable. People would more likely want to copy the actual date than the human readable delta.

Good to see someone is making this. Losing free student access to Autodesk Inventor exposed me to the hideous world of free-as-in-money 3D CAD software, and my interest in 3D CAD fizzled pretty quickly as a result.

On a related note, we really, really need a worthy replacement for EAGLE. It's only a couple years away from EOL, and KiCAD is light years away from being feature-equivalent.
When the airplane experiences high negative G you get propelled upwards at 9.8m/s/s times the negative G. A -1G force cancels the constant +1G force gravity exerts resulting in free-fall or floating. If the negative G force is higher than 1G you are now accelerating upwards relative to the fuselage.

A -2.5G event "pulls" you upward 1.5x harder than falling and you absolutely can die from falling down due to head injury - it happens all the time. In reality it doesn't pull, your inertia simply wants to keep you moving as you were so the top of the fuselage "falls" faster than gravity until it connects with your body and is able to transmit that force to counter your inertia. A better way to transmit that force is a seat belt.

This is exactly the same situation as a car hitting a wall and why you need a seat belt in that scenario too. You and the car are moving forward. The car decelerates. When it does so faster than the friction of you in the seat your inertia carries your body forward. The faster the car stops the more energy you have to impact the windshield/steering wheel/etc. The seat belt functions to transmit the force between your body and the car.
I'm not interested in discussing this here, sorry.
I don't feel strangers interacting with jailbirds and doing as they ask with repercussions unknown is smart. What if this is a jailbird messing with people on the outside? It's beyond what anybody should reasonably do.
> You can choose to have a gap or failure on your résumé. Either makes you unemployable at the types of banks or consultancies considered "safe" in the article, unless you have some sort of remarkable pedigree or network.

This is all anecdotal but... You won't be unemployable because you ran a company and it failed. You may however be because you had "founder responsibilities" and then try to fall back into engineering roles after 5 years of running a startup.
Going by the title I was hoping this was about the choice these companies have made to maze like appeals and support service. This solution solution to the problem is kinda cursed

Reading is for nerds. Real programmers™ write. And they write code, for the machine, not docs or specs or any other silly stuff intended for interhuman communication.
128 bits of address space would be useful if you're building an architecture with one level of storage.

And there actually has been one family of computers that have used 128-bit pointers. IBM S/38 and its successors did that. It has a machine independent instruction set that is then compiled down to actual machine code, and that uses 128-bit pointers for future proofing.
Who could be surprised? All of OpenAI's success turn on them taking without permission and/or legal right.
Could you share some more insights about your experience with Warp? I have been meaning to give it a try for the feature set around workflows.
The LLM miracle comes from the massive amount of text we can use to train it on. Removing that advantage makes LLMs untenable. An idea I've had for a while is to do the opposite: generate nonsense text according to some complex formula, and have the AI learn to predict that. It won't possibly be able to encode any facts, because there are no facts. Now show it english, and it will treat it just like any other sort of nonsense text that it's gotten good at learning to interpret.
i'm sure 95% of the people are just trolling - they can't be that dense about what the change actually is as developers. just silliness.

It’s not clear at all that the vast majority of people in London commute by public transport. The sources linked below, one during the pandemic in 2020, and the other a series of estimates, suggest the figure is more like 25-35% but I wasn’t able to find something more conclusive. [1, 2]

More to your point, I agree that SF or at least the Bay Area has a higher dependence on cars, but it’s also more geographically constrained by the bay and resulting bridges/ferries, so it’s not obvious that there’s much more freedom in where to live in practice. For instance, I would guess a one hour commute in London would encompass a similar or greater number of housing units than in the Bay Area.

Somewhat unrelated, but London seems relatively low in public transport usage compared to virtually every large continental European city [3], which at least anecdotally tend to have much cheaper transport (particularly for monthly/annual subscriptions for commuters) and/or somewhat less car-friendly infrastructure. Riding a bus through Old Street, for instance, makes apparent one cost Londoners pay for not prioritising public transport.

On the other hand, the UK is one of the safest countries in the world, is full of kind people, has a general abundance of food, gives workers a relatively large number of days off in a year, has a functioning police force and takes care of sick people and those who can't work for whatever reason.

Of course it is not perfect.

The people of Britain may not have huge bank accounts, but this is partly because they collectively spend their earnings on the worthwhile things mentioned above.
I do not recall any such truth.

It's a truism the Internet doesn't forget.

But copyright is copyright and copying some work just because it's published on the Internet is illegal, it always was and still is.

>otherwise we believe they used copyrighted audio from S. Johansson's movies.

I will slightly rewrite the quoted bit to reflect reality as is currently known by the public: "otherwise we assert without evidence they used copyrighted audio". I'm fully of the opinion that everyone on both sides is wrong here, and I'm only right because I hold the most minimal opinion; that everyone needs to go outside and touch grass because this whole thing is bizarre and pointless.
I compare my use of FreeCAD to Stockholm Syndrome. The UI is clunky, fillets and chamfers are inconsistent at best, and sometimes things just break. Larger models are difficult at best. However, it has been getting better. Toponaming is finally being fixed, and the UI is getting cleaned up. If you're using CAD professionally, I wouldn't recommend it. Honestly, I wouldn't really recommend it unless you're willing to learn a lot and figure out how to deal with all the ideosyncracies. But still, deep down in my heart, I love it.
My pithy take on the most important explanatory factors here:

1) EU/UK startups lack a big enough common market to sell into to go from 100 to 1,000,0000 relative to US and Chinese startups.

2) Tax laws in many EU countries significantly limit founders' exit opportunities and magnitude of personal financial success. This "tail wags to the dog" because of risk/reward: if the ultimate reward is not high, a founder can't justify taking on much risk, nor can their investors.

While the tax laws are interconnected with the societal culture (e.g. "American Dream mentality"), I think high frequency of examples of outlier success founders is what will change the culture, and those people won't start companies (or get very far) if they are dealing with 1) and 2).

Or they'll just move to USA to start their businesses, as has been often the case.
We litigated that? =)
In effect, these are the same thing. If you try and deliver the software as a cloud service, you'll need to make the part that ties into your auth & observability stack, at the very least, open source.

Cloud companies are unlikely to be comfortable doing that.

This doesn't make any sense at all. There are tons of global UK companies. Why can't UK companies sell products or services outside of the UK and the US can?

I agree with you; Solitaire is superb software! My humbug is how phoned-in this use-case feels, especially given the hype behind AI over the last year. There is a lack of imagination for what LLMs bring to the table.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.
128-bits is probably enough to mmap the whole internet.
What is a "competitive salary" as defined by you?

Most VCs ik are fine with founders paying themselves a market rate base, but I also work with VCs in the Bay Area and Seattle scene - maybe you're from France, Germany, Canada, or some other less founder friendly VC scene?

Also, as a founder your driving goal is to make a company that would succeed. It's up to you to decide your compensation package, but paying the CEO of a 2 person company $300k is just plain dumb.

StackSort was supposed to be a joke.

> I think saying there’s “no confidence in the answer provided by an AI” is an overstatement and underestimates the value AI can have for the majority of users because that statement overestimates the value of “a reputable source that provides not only the command I’m looking for, but an explanation of the syntax” for the majority of users. Reputable sources and thorough explanations are great in theory, but very few have the patience to go through all that for a single CLI command when they want to make visible progress on the bigger picture project they actually care about.

These are exactly the people who shouldn't be running code written by a random number generator.
Putting more cash in means making fewer bets, holding constant the stage of startup VCs want to invest in.

> beyond their personal preference

My preference is to not use software which has these features in it. I don't need my terminal software having a network request layer which can exfiltrate my data to unknown third parties.

You might feel comfortable with a labeled "off switch" but many of us do not. Is that an allowed preference? Or should I be ridiculed?

> press their legitimate preferences onto others

You mean describe their preferences openly and allow others to come to their own conclusion? Or are you suggesting that they're bullying other people into this position against their will?

To me it seems the opposite. Whenever these criticisms come up there is a contingent dedicated to minimizing them to the point of suggesting that they should be openly ridiculed. Or that they've misunderstood their own preferences. Or that they've taken them "too far" somehow.

> by blackballing companies that even touch LLMs.

Yes, preferences even extend to economic decisions. People often forget that this is the basis of all economy.
> Same thing with Google Ads, often your account will get suspended for no sane reason and you need an insider to reactivate it, or you're starting from scratch.

Yep. Absurd and completely common. There is pretty much no one to reach out to otherwise. Lost an account with several thousand dollars in it this way. I consider this straight up theft, and it's been like this for a long time.

Apple offers personalized ads, but as you can see from all their quarterly results, that is not their business but rather a tiny portion compared to companies such as Meta and Google that advertising is their business.

Apple shows what they do with your data even at a per app level:
https://www.apple.com/privacy/labels/ as well as reviewing Apple's Privacy Policy vs Meta/Google and see they are night and day from those companies. Again this doesn't make Apple better/good, and others worse/bad, as that depends on who one is and what they value. For instance Google offers far superior services in many aspects than Apple because they take advantage of all that customer data in ways Apple chooses not to.

> Maybe back in the day
Assuming you may not be an Apple customer or familiar with all the constant flow of new features in the current day Apple has been releasing focusing on Privacy. https://www.apple.com/privacy/
No, this wasn't natural. You may not have triggered it, maybe it was software, but I watched it rapidly rise from nothing to position #7 and then it dropped from #7 to #76 in 5 minutes. That's not natural churn, that was caused by user or software flags.

It is not true today. It seems highly unlikely to become true.
I think it’s more visible now, but as well, I wonder if it’s just that we have more leisure time to actually worry about / deal with it.

Personally I think every child needs some sort of effective therapy to help heal the trauma of their formative years.

I use trauma freely here, there’s quite a big difference between someone who was bullied a couple of times and is naturally quite resilient vs someone who was mercilessly bullied for years on end pushing them to the brink of life.

I classify both as trauma, very different degrees though.

As well, people react very differently to similar events.
FreeCAD suffers from the same issues that much open-source software suffers from: it has bugs. Bugs erode user confidence.

Apparently, there are now > 500 bugs open.

When commercial software has bugs, you don't even know they exist often. Sure, but there are also ways to make bug free software, but hardly any open-source software exists that uses those development techniques.
but OP, how can I judge how good HN moderation is I can't read the comments that were removed/flagged?

I used solid works on my robotics team.

Tried using some other program but I loved the way solidworks let's you create parts, and then some other features where its hard to exactly discribe the exact thing but for me solidworks seemed so much more intuitive.

I dropped my summer internship money on the version which was a few hundred bucks. ...pretty sure it was cuz I got the student or the hobbist deal.
> is that different than me reading a book then giving you the abridged version of it, perhaps by explaining it orally?

That seems like a bad example, I think you are probably free to even read the book out loud in its entirety to me.

Are you able to record yourself doing that and sell it as an audiobook?

What if you do that, but change one word on each page to a synonym of that word?

10% of words to synonyms?

10% of paragraphs rephrased?

Each chapter just summarized?

The first point that seems easier to agree on isn't really about the specific line, just a recognition that there is a point that such a system crosses where we can all agree that it is copying and that then the interesting thing is just about where the boundaries of the grey area are (i.e. where are the points on that line that we agree that it is and isn't copying, with some grey area between them where we disagree or can't decide).

not only that but it's significantly easier to do family-style group ordering with a physical menu.

As mentioned elsewhere earlier [0] essentially all of Ondsel’s user-friendliness is actually core 0.22 (development release) FreeCAD and different addon choices (like the tab bar).

Which is not to say that Ondsel 2024.2 is a bad way to experience those things, or that the Ondsel Lens (cloud collaboration suite) is not interesting, because it surely is.

It’s just to say it is only much more user-friendly if you’re not already using the 0.22 dev releases (that are considered to be generally as stable as 0.21 and are in wide use)

(I upvoted you for the rest: I too am waiting for the TNP mitigations before I recommend it to less technically-focussed people)

> Why the heck not use AI when it's better?

I think that, in its current iteration, it is not that easy to know.

I haven't tried GPT 4 (which I've heard is much better), but my experiences with 3.5 have been extremely frustrating and underwhelming. I absolutely hate when it starts making stuff up and I have to fix it via the traditional way, it just wasted my time!

I guess this boils down to personal preference, but so far I just prefer a good old Google search.

I was quite happy with copilot auto complete, though. Mostly because of how low friction it was.

This is a false dilemma, you don’t need an ethnostate to protect your rights. Having an ethnostate by definition your privileges comes at the cost of other people’s civil rights. Jewish civil rights should be protected by the same democratic institutions as everyone else’s. If you have a fear of a certain ethnic group gaining equal political rights, what does that say about you?

Regarding the right of return for the Jewish people displaced from the countries surrounding Israel, sure, I’m in favor. As far as I know, the discriminatory laws which pushed a lot of the exodus have long since been repealed and families who fled to Israel don’t face nearly the same level of discrimination as Palestinians wanting to return to their homeland. (Reparations still need to be payed and Iraq could probably step up their game and re-issue citizenships to their emigrants).

That said, the tit-for-tat mentality is not helpful here. Yes, the Jewish emigrants (particularly from Iraq) deserve reparations for passed wrongs, but whether they get that or not should not affect whether Palestinians are granted their basic right of return, and the dismantling of all Israels’ ethnocratic policies.
It sounds like Rashida Jones.
