All they have to do is remove "p {max-width: 28rem;}" and the website becomes beautiful. The text fills the entire width of the screen, and the font scales with the screen size (though they should dial it back a bit, or have a different scaling ramp). It's like reading an actual document, and how the web should be. Bonus points, it's ridiculously "responsive" for small screen sizes.

Yes, I know they got it kinda "wrong", but they're arguably going in the right direction here. I'd give the author points for trying something out of the box, and also for "sticking it" to the monstrosity that Bootstrap started many years ago.
Every time I hook my dev NUC up to my HDMI cable and plug in a keyboard, just to decrypt the ssd en get back to working after a reboot, I will now be thinking of this story and feel better about this little nuisance. (Yeah I know there are better ways, I could ssh into the boot env with systemd, I could just encrypt the home dir, I could somehow use the TPM (but that is still pita) etc, I'll look at that the next time I set up the a dev machine...)

Well yeah, if you were selling a bullshit story, wouldn't "it's more plausible" be a pretty good reason to go with one version over another? I mean, that feels obvious enough that I don't quite get why you're even asking.
An engine order telegraph wouldn't have this problem. So IMO it is very much a design problem, a problem that was already solved but needed to be created again so we can learn those lessons again.
It depends on the point of view. If one wants to smuggle a sharp object onto a flight, it's easy if you pass the security checks. I would state here, it's bit difficult with the metal detectors and x-ray-ing of the luggage. From the point of view of an TSA: it's his job to find it. So... It's not as trivial.

If it's possible to obtain that sharp object after the security checks, it's kind of risk free.

Also, we don't know what kind and size of scissors it was. The question arise here: if it's possible to buy the scissors, where is the difference between smuggling, stealing & smuggling and ordinary buying? In all of these cases, there's a sharp object on the flight. So, yes ... Stupid.

May be they weren't afraid of a sharp object on the flight but rather desperately wanted to find the thief :)

What does the P=NP problem mean? Simplest possible explanation.

ChatGPT said:

The P=NP problem is a big question in computer science about how fast we can solve problems with computers.

P represents all the problems that computers can solve quickly (in a reasonable amount of time).
NP represents problems where, if you have a solution, you can check it quickly to see if it's correct.
The question is: Are these two types of problems actually the same? In other words, if you can check a solution quickly (NP), can you also find that solution quickly (P)?

If the answer is "yes" (P = NP), it would mean that many hard problems could be solved quickly, which would be a huge breakthrough. If "no" (P ≠ NP), it means some problems are just inherently hard to solve quickly, even if checking the solution is easy.

The problem is so tough that no one has been able to prove whether P equals NP or not.
I used to think similar too until my parents gave me an USB stick stuffed with random photos from my youth taken ~20 years ago that they downloaded from the family PC after I moved out.

OK, so key question: why is there a control plane in there at all?

Oh that’s great to hear then! Good to know there’s a snapshot already.

In my case, I only encrypt the code related to Pro features. There are still plenty of free features and improvements that I add and that I know people will benefit from having them searchable (for example people learned how to use private frameworks like MonitorPanel to change resolutions and presets, how to control Night Shift from swift etc. )

And so I needed to still sync some public source code from the private repo. You might not need that, it could be as easy as moving every dev in the team to using sourcegraph/sourcegraph-private
We're getting off topic here. This discussion is about Rawls and whether it's OK for majorities to tell minorities that suffer misfortune, yeah, it sucks to be you, but that's not our problem.

But since you're going there: Sure, there are studies saying various things. I'm not competent to evaluate these studies. So, like jurors in a courtroom trial (I'm a lawyer), I go with indirect evidence and which witnesses seem most reliable.

A March 2023 Washington Post article [0] quoted a lot of experts, including Dr. Peter Hotez, a local Houston icon. Hotez and his colleague Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi were nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize because they came up with corbevax, a low-cost covid vaccine that can be made very cheaply (esp. in developing countries) and put it in the public domain with no patent coverage. It might not be as good as mRNA vaccines (I have no idea), but it's far, FAR better than no vaccine at all.

All of the folks quoted in the WaPo article are vaccinated. (Several touted vaccines.) Most said they wore masks in poorly-ventilated crowded spaces.

I have confidence that Hotez — who's among many, many others who hold similar views — stays open to evidence and doesn't fall in love with his own opinions or get locked into groupthink.

And to repeat: We don't know who you are, and you've offered no evidence about your qualifications concerning pandemic measures or the significance of the studies you cited.

In a courtroom trial, judges and jurors generally aren't experts; that's what expert witnesses are for. But a purported expert witness won't even be allowed to testify in front of the jury until the party that wants to call the witness has put on evidence of the witness's qualifications, and the trial judge has concluded that the witness's opinion testimony is likely to be reasonably reliable. This is called the Daubert standard: A proposed expert witness has to be shown to (probably) know WTF s/he is talking about. [1]

We have no Daubert evidence about you. So for now I'll stick with Peter Hotez and his friends.

In the business/enterprise space, local arrays of flash drives can push those kinds of speeds in a sustained fashion. For example:

I have no experience in ship-handling, but my naive question for this who do is: What is the rationale for being able to independently transfer control of different aspects of ‘steering’ (prop1, prop2, rudder) to different stations? . The coordination required between two or more stations inherently makes the task (control of heading and thrust) more difficult than if a single station was coordinating the process inside one brain. Is there some benefit I am not seeing that justifies the increased complexity?

Start bringing good coffee and treats to your local recycling center for the person/people who work there when you recycle stuff. After doing that a couple of times, ask nicely if you can take some hardware people are throwing.

Alternative approach, hang out outside your target location to figure out when/where they throw stuff, and when trash collectors come. Arrive somewhere in between and dumpster dive :)
The critical path can often be very wide and long and is not some small for loop deep down. Not all software is a video codec. Maintainability also does not necessarily exclude performance, smaller code can be easier to grasp and fit better into caches.

Her book was based on a poem of the same name, written in the 1800's, in which ten children come to an untimely death.

Famously, Christie set out to deliberately write her most technically challenging book, having ten people murdered on an island in a manner in keeping with the poem, whilst still keeping the reader guessing whodunnit. Most readers agree it was her best book by far.

The idea that the book is racist simply because of it's title is a rather modern phenomena (not to mention changing the title and poem somewhat hides her original challenge).
Language is entirely human made , and it s affected by both communication and the medium. Every time a new mode of communication was invented, language was polluted with other people's language. AI is both a medium and communication which indirectly communicates using the "medial value content" of all other people on the internet. That content was itself already contaminated via too much communication over the past 30 years. So it's not really a fundamental shift , rather an acceleration of a process that s already happening

I don’t actually think the machines know everything about you, at least with contemporary technology. At best they get an incomplete picture that might be missing some key information essential for giving you the right advice.

The interesting question though is if the machine had all of the information about you, would it actually be worth listening to? It’s then essentially a question of positivism: does all of the external sensory data about a thing add up to a complete understanding of it? I think not, because there will always be things about ourselves that we don’t know or understand, on a species level.

Show HN: Mailik – Effortlessly Receive Form Responses in Your Inbox
Hello,
Mailik is a really simple tool mostly made by my "szwagier". It was our internal tool for a long time, but now, we want to make it public as it is useful.

Flow: User submits a form on any of your websites -> website uses mailik sdk -> form submission is sent to one or more emails you specified in mailik dashboard.

The reason we made it - we always missed those submissions when they were submitted to CRM somehow.
One of them showed a situation where the client wanted a complex object removed from the background. I've done some Photoshop in the past and understood why that would have taken hours. He then demoed an AI feature that did the job in a few clicks. The client was happy and he moved on to another task... Hard to argue against that.
Very cool, ty.

Toasts are bad UX
I haven't heard many developers/designers talk about the overused practice of using toasts for UI feedback.

What do you think? Are toasts overused? In which cases do you use them in your own apps?
All the actual creative people I know don't care what other people are doing. What other people are doing is usually a sign of what not to do if you want to be creative.

"Creatives" so strongly against AI art I suspect are not creative at all. They are the same class of people who are so uncreative that the entire internet looks almost exactly the same, even though you could basically do anything.

We don't call the person on the Ikea furniture assembly line "creative".

With that said, I am bored to tears with the output of generative AI art on its own. It is like taking a 4 bar beat sample generator for music and looping the output 100 times creates a pretty boring song. Someone actual creative though can see that the beat sample generator can be used for the base material for something interesting musically.

Of course the creative fraud is going to be afraid of something new and happy if things stay uncreative and the same.

> It's weird how in most fields not having 'talent' (whatever that is even supposed to mean) is not considered a valid excuse for not going through the effort of learning but for some reason when it comes to art, it gets a pass.

Oh but you don’t understand the grand conspiracy of the privileged artist class who use their talent they were unfairly born with to gatekeep access to art and drive up prices on their labor. AI companies who ingest their works as part of their supply chain are simply democratizing it so the rest of us can enjoy it. For a small fee of course, to redistribute artists' obscene wealth into the hands of the struggling AI corporations (public services are not free). And the vision can become real, where people with excellent visual taste but no birth talent, can finally attach a cyberpunk-robot-holding-the-earth concept art into their LLM generated blog posts.

You're right, scammers will likely just make new accounts and publish new apps, but if Google took down the apps immediately and informed all users that the app they installed was a scam, they would've prevented $millions from being stolen.

The justice system should eventually track down and lock up the people responsible, but the service providers (Google, Apple, etc.) are the only ones who can - and should be obligated to - stop actively facilitating financial crimes.
I've been using Blender for over 5 years. I'm also active on Blender.stackexchange.com and when I help someone there and write instructions, I'm always confused how to navigate to a particular thing using a menu (mostly because some operators' place is ambiguous e.g. "select" vs "mesh" vs "vertex". I think there's a lot of users like me, for efficiency you're just supposed to use shortcuts.

You wouldn't use a menu in notepad to cut/copy/paste, select all etc. right?

It's funny how, when I actually look in the menu, I discover some new things added in recent versions of Blender.
The OP is not about AI as a field of research. It's about whether the gobs of money invested in "AI" products and services in recent years, fueled by hype and FOMO, will earn a return, and whether we are approaching the bust of a classic boom-bust over-investment cycle.

Seemingly every non-tech company in the world has been trying to figure out an "AI strategy," driven by hype and FOMO, but most corporate executives have no clue as to what they're doing or ought to be doing. They are spending money on poorly thought-out ideas.

Meanwhile, every tech company providing "AI services" has been spending money like a drunken sailor, fueled by hype and FOMO. None of these AI services are generating enough revenue to cover the cost of development, training, or even, in many cases, inference.

Nvidia, the dominant software-plus-hardware platform (CUDA is a big deal), appears to be the only financial beneficiary of all this hype and FOMO.

According to the OP, the business of "AI" is losing hype, suggesting we're approaching a bust.
Safari does respect you, it's a pretty well-behaved browser. Pre-chromium Edge was similar in many ways (and had zero bloat), I'm still sad it got killed. Much like UWP OneNote, it had great design, proper scroll integration with touch input and used native UI components. Not anymore.

All the applications they're describing can already be done over IP and are only held back by the lack of easy to use, fast reliable network interfaces in consumer hardware especially laptops. If Intel made Ethernet over Thunderbolt fast and efficient on their hardware by making it look like a decent NIC to the operating system this problem would be solved and AMD would have to play catch up since they don't have a line of good enough modern NICs in house. Intel could even show off how fast and efficient their systems are compared to software packet processing.

Solve the usable external bandwidth bottleneck for mobile hardware. Launch a line of media converters to 10/25/40 Gb/s Ethernet priced to establish an ecosystem. Give users docking stations that just work.

My Auschwitz vacation
Can't imagine a bigger red flag on a resume.
I'm not a mariner but from what I've seen on boats and motoryachts the controls are typically transferred with the engines in neutral. This step ensures that the person who takes control positively knows the state of the engines and avoids having to do some kind of synchronisation with the current state. Perhaps this is problem on a destroyer or they imagined the controls being routinely moved around the bridge. On most vessels it's in the same place for the whole passage and for docking or departure you chose which station to use.

Idling the engines for a minute while you have isn't an imposition as anyone prudent would be doing propulsion and steering tests before entering a confined area at that point anyway.

I can only think the imagined the controls being passed about on a regular basis and because they didn't need to synchronise the physical position with the current state they skipped that step.

Why transferring one engine at a time made sense I have no idea.
