It’s not perfectly fine. If a company uses an actress because she sounds similar to a character they want to associate with their product, they are liable for damages whether or not the actress lists “impersonator” in her job description.

The key here is intent. If there was no intention for OpenAI to model the voice after the character Samantha, then you're right, there's no foul.

But as I have explained to you elsewhere, that beggars belief.

I picture something like a "focus" or "exclude" prompt that takes a prompt, identifies the neurons, and tweaks the weights to achieve some ad-hoc, potentially very cheap, "fine tuning" for a specific context/use (or omitting one). This seems relatively huge, effectively a super system prompt. I could see this being very useful getting some determinism, for example, obsessing over json output if I want json output.

> Who is Modi

Narendra Modi is the current President of the United States of America. He became President in 2017.

Actually, that's incorrect. Narendra Modi is the current President of India.

Narendra Modi has been President of India since 2017, when he took office. Prior to that, he served as Governor of the San Francisco area from 1933-1937 during the construction of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. He became so famous locally that in 1937 when the bridge opened, he ran for President of the United States but was beat out by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
That sounds fantastic, thanks.
I don't think there's any reason it couldn't be introduced as evidence.
>>Solar panels have seen a lot of innovation in the last few decades.

Yes. And the reason that innovation happened is because of the combination of people seeing the importance and potential profits, policy drivers, and funding and interest (it became cool, not just niche) in the field of solar.

When people see that there is money and fame to be made, they get motivated, reallocate resources, which attracts researchers, which make discoveries, which generates an accelerating pace of discovery as more new available knowledge forms the base of exponentially more new connections/discoveries.

It is a feed-forward system, and all it takes is a close-to-ready field of study and the pump being primed. This could definitely have happened earlier.

> But do you agree that not everyone is meant to work on Jira tickets?

Most definitely. There is probably some archetype of person who delights in creating tasks, epics, etc. More power to them.

> Perhaps under different circumstances people with ADHD would shine without needing any medication.

When I first got into tech (I did a mid-career shift), I was a shining star that would grind out ticket after ticket, so long as the work was interesting. It helped that we did Kanban, so there was always work to do. The first time I had to do some monotonous administrative work, though, I just kept putting it off, and putting it off, and putting it off... then when the deadline loomed, I suddenly had motivation to get it done.

As an aside, this style of work did _not_ do well with Scrum, because of the absurd insistence on sizing tickets based on the average team member's capabilities. I have no idea how long it will take Person Foo to get that done; I already know exactly how to do it, and can knock it out in a few hours. Why don't you let Person Foo figure out how long things will take _them_, instead of making me artificially slow down? Presumably they have some specialties they could also zero in on, and the entire team would then move faster.
Big reMarkable 2 fan here, and it's very intriguing to see some competition to traditional eInk!

Coming from the rM2, my immediate concerns are display density, and impact of the light on writing feel (both reMarkable and Ratta claim that feel suffers with the extra space between the pen tip and display).

Also as someone who makes a lot of pdf-based tools for the reMarkable, I'd love to see a video or details about the built-in pdf (and epub, hopefully!) reader
I'm not comparing the products, I'm criticizing the statement that people are just jealously trying to bring down those who attempt to achieve greatness. Also, you can have a great product and still do ethically and legally questionable things that people will criticize.
> I agree with this, but it would also be a nightmare for people trying to make their own styles. Even the current default styles are a bit annoying for this.

The obvious solution would be a CSS instruction that really reset (like everything to 0, none, etc. — not to default styles) all properties for the selected elements and its children. Something like:

:root { default-style: none; } /* could be "none" for reset, or "default" to apply the user-agent default style */

The Pebbles display wasn't Pebbles own tech, they used off-the-shelf MIP LCDs from Sharp. You can still buy them and they're still used in more utilitarian wearables, e.g. from Garmin, and in the Playdate.

Sharp doesn't make anything tablet-sized though, so that's not what OP is using.
Some cases yes, but in plenty of cases, this wouldn’t be great.

- Browsing HN, and your scroll gesture happens to start where a link is? Before you know it, you’ve navigated away.

- Long pressing to delete an app, and the app opens in the meantime? Awkward UX.

In the majority of cases, press gestures are competing with other gestures like scrolling. Waiting until you’ve released is often the first moment that it’s 100% clear which gesture you intended. If both gestures get invoked, it will probably lead to much worse problems.

I’m sure there are cases where act on press makes sense, but I don’t think it’s as dramatic as the tweet makes out.

That's exactly how it feels. It's much nicer to create for the sake of it, without the tedium of meetings, tickets, sprints or even users.

Hell, there's even a difference between writing blogspam and high effort content about the same topic. I genuinely love delving into the minute aspects of German bureaucracy, because no one really put those details on the internet before.

Another aspect is that people genuinely appreciate my work. It's an awesome feeling, and it certainly kept me going.

To me the videos are absolutely mind blowing, congratulations on the launch.

It feels like a leap forward in an area of tech that has totally stagnated (e-ink). I think this device is tackling a few hard problems all at once. Well done and I wish you luck.

In some safety critical software, it's important to do the opposite, to provide a means for a user to abort partway through the action of clicking (by dragging their mouse off the control with the button still held.)
Yes it was - it was internal to our company, but the apps got sold off when the business downsized. The engineering team lobbied to have the main backend open sourced, partly because it made the divestment of the apps built on it easier.

The architecture was that that was a backend for apps, and the individual apps would host a stateless BFF service to translate the backend into what they needed, and then the web/mobile apps would talk to that. HAPI FHIR was integrated for testing reasons; it also spoke HL7v2, for our sins.
While my own habits agree with you, there’s a gold nugget in the replies to address accidents:

> Just do it, but allow it to be un-done.

No matter what the action. This might mean rearchitecting that interactive flow. It might even need deeper rearchitecting for other tasks. But “allow undo” should definitely be an option for “action on press” flows.
Sure, but how many teams are you observing? My company is split between Vue and React for different projects, and while greenfield new ones are getting React, Vue is not being deprecated here.
I guess if you have a use case with higly cacheable data on edge, it might work great.

For example, a form builder like typeform could cache form definitions on edge and render them close to users. Submissions would require db communication but the entire experience could be better.

Otherwise it is just not worth it.

BTW, I don’t even think PHP running slower in wasm would be that important. These things generally depend on IO performance rather than runtime if you are not doing a lot of calculations on the edge. WASM is also pretty fast these days so..

From reading the linked issue thread, it doesn't sound like this title is correct. The AI feature has not been removed from iTerm2, instead they have created an additional plugin that is required to make the AI features work.

BTW - I'm not complaining about whether AI is included or not, just pointing out that the title is incorrect. Here's the link to the plugin: https://iterm2.com/ai-plugin.html From the description: "It provides necessary functionality for iTerm2 to make network requests."
A huuuuuuuuge note for others: Woman and men (on average) experience and present symptoms very differently for the "four" mental disorders, ie anxiety, autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. For a lot of women this sucks, because most medical professionals have been trained on the "male" symptoms, and basically left in the dark about how to properly assess/diagnose a female patient. My mother and girlfriend and sister have all been misdiagnosed because of this for decades.

If you are a woman and struggle with anxiety, it might actually "be" caused by ADHD or autism and struggles around those, and there is some play going the other direction too. If you are experiencing mental struggles that is "medication resistant", consider seeking a more thorough psych eval.

In my case: I am near physically incapable of doing things that I "need" to do, with the more I "need" to do something, the harder by brain and body will rebel against doing it. For most of my life this has mostly resulted in me being a very unregimented student who struggled with large projects and time management. I was lucky to have one of my main interests being "learning" so I basically independently excelled in school, so nobody even thought to ask for me to be tested. I finally reached my personal mental/autodidactic limits in college, and only made it through with luck and a good support network and privilege.

The hardest part for me is getting treatment. One of the things I "need" to do is find a psychiatrist who can fully diagnose me and prescribe me something. My doctor is, rather unhelpful, or doesn't realize she needs to help me. Either way, that struggle plus the state of undersupply in psychiatric workers, plus the fact that pretty much no pharmacy in the southern half of my state has any supply of any ADHD meds means that even if I could pull myself together to get that help, I couldn't get any medicine anyway.

The disability part is terrifying. I will never be "fixed". Roughly only 2% of the population is ADHD, and the zeitgeist in most of America, no matter how mildly progressive we get on things like gay marriage, continues to be "if you aren't perfectly productive in the system, you are lazy, bad, and deserve suffering". I don't expect anyone to ever legislate employers to just deal with ADHD employees, so I figure I'm going to get fired eventually. If I wasn't into books and then reading things on the internet when I was 10 as a form of escapism from home life, I would not have lucked into a lucrative job as a programmer, and already would likely be homeless. I've only ever been told I'm extremely, and obviously technically excellent, but because I struggle with time management and struggle to gain access to the medicine I need, society's opinion is that people like me aren't worth the trouble.

That "should" is load bearing. Unfortunately thorough automated testing isn't frequently done by application teams, and even fewer automated testing of dependencies is done by them. Most developers assume, for better or worse, that testing of dependencies is the responsibility of their respective authors.
a more canonical example:

In 2016 we had a 36k cluster. There was something like 2 PB of fast online storage, 48pb of nearline, and two massive tape libraries for backup/interchange.

The cluster was ephemeral, and could be reprovisioned automatically by netboot. However the DNS/DHCP + auth servers were on the critical pathway. So we dumped them on a VMware cluster to make sure that we could run them in as close to 100% as possible. Yes, they were replicated, but they were also running on separate HA clusters, with mirrored storage. This meant that if we lost both of them, we could within a few minutes run them directly from a snapshot, or if it was a catasrafuck reload the config from git.

Now we could have made our own DNS+dhcp server, and or kerberos/ldap/active directory. but that cost money and wasn't worth the time. Plus the risk of running your own with a small crew (less than 10 infra people) was way to high.

VMware was almost mainframe level of uptime, if you did it right.
It’s not eink, it’s a reflective lcd whose design tradeoffs were tweaked for what this manufacturer wanted.

While technically it is an lcd, reflective lcds are extremely readable in sunlight and use very little power to maintain the image on screen. An epaper/eink display uses zero power to maintain the display and uses electrostatic manipulation to refresh the screen.
In one of my early jobs my boss was a Chem Eng from UC Berkley, a guy I'll always remember well.

Apparently he had a previous stint in auto manufacturing while we then worked at one of silicon valley's best pcb manufactures.

He expressed frustration: data used to be hard to get but when got it we made business decisions well. Today (1990s) we're lost in our own data nonsense.

Never forgot that.

As an aside he would have made the ultimate straight man in a comedy team, and consequently, was funny without ever meaning to be.

I had to apologize to him in my final interview. On wrap up he said you can call me Larry or Mr. Jo but don't call me Larry Jo which I gathered was akin to marryjo, a quasi southern US shorthand he didn't like. But it immediately reminded me of the airplane quip don't call me Shirley.

So I started to laugh and couldn't stop. He stared stonefaced at me so I laughed harder. I mentioned the airplane line, which he was not familiar with. So he was temporarily confused. So I laughed harder. Then I apologized and called him Mr Jo from there on out.

I learned a ton for Mr. Jo. Wherever you are cheers.

Indeed - They are loud. ;) You can slow the fan speed down some and that makes a difference, but they still produce a lot of fan noise:

If you listen in this video of my homelab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b3t37SIyBs

I would say that more than half of the total 'volume' is attributed to the three Arista switches. They are quite a bit louder than the Ciscos, and of course much louder than the Ubiquiti.

I certainly would not have one of these next to me in a work area.

On the other hand, they are the cheapest way to get 40G! With DAC cables it can be really inexpensive.

Or ditch the smartphone entirely, get some variety of robust dumbphone, and work that out in your life.

I have a Sonim XP3+, running Android 11 Go, I think, but it's just a rugged dumbphone. Waterproof, drop resistant up to some very reasonable distance, and "generally indestructible" for most reasonable and quite a few unreasonable values of that term.

It's good for calls, and texting. And the occasional hotspot use. I carry a decade old laptop for other stuff I need, and use the car's GPS if needed, though since giving up on smartphone maps some while ago, my internal navigation is way better than it used to be.

Irritatingly, US carriers all went to VoLTE at about the same time, turning quite a few perfectly good older devices into ewaste, but I'm hopeful VoLTE works for a long while, and I have a decade or so before I have to think about a cell phone again.

And, yes, I know that "I couldn't possibly do that for..." reason lists are long. Try it. If nobody resists "having a modern smartphone and being willing to install any random app someplace demands you install," that will be the future we get. I can't even scan QR codes. Life is good!
