Here were their claims. screen reader couldn't:

* determine when an item was in the cart
* describe the various payment options
* find navigation links
* describe images (no alt-text)

My first thought - why are screen readers so bad in 2024? We have amazing OCR and great image-to-text models. Will this style of lawsuit exist in 1 year?
I've always had an intense visceral distaste for referring to podcasts, videos, and long-form writing as "content," especially when creators use the term. No matter how well-meaning or neutral its usage might be, I always involuntarily picture an old-timey cartoon farmer dumping slop into a giant trough when I hear phrases like "bringing you better content" or "being an influencer producing the type of content you want to see." I think you've just helped me solve the puzzle — hopefully, this will help me shed my negative association with the term. Many actually respectable internet personalities I follow use it, and I don't like being "that guy."
This is patronizing and broadly not true for a majority of people. This myth was created during the Great Depression to sell Social Security.

Fun Fact: Richard Branson had such an antagonistic relationship with Mike Oldfield, that Oldfield included a segment in one of his albums where he plays a guitar with staccato notes that spelled out "Fuck Off R.B." in morse code[1], recording under Branson's own label.

>Can you tell articulate what the political goal of the war was?

The goal was to eradicate the Taliban, remove terroristic sentiments, rebuild Afghanistan, bring the country to 21st century democratic standards, and prevent future 9/11s.

Did we achieve it? Hell no.

Verdict: We lost. Over 20 years of bloodshed and misery on both sides for fucking nothing. We failed on every single fucking count. Every. Single. Count.

Have you ever worked with an intern? They have personalities and expectations that need to be managed. They get sick. The get tired. They want to punch you if you treat them like a 24-7 bird dog. It's so much easier to not let perfect be the enemy of the good and just rapid fire ALL day at a LLM for any and everything I need help with. You can also just not use the LLM. Interns need to be 'fed' work or the ROI ends upside down. Is a LLM as good as a top tier intern. No, but with a LLM I can have 10 pretty good interns by opening 10 tabs.

This sounds a lot like microservices, most of all the last point. Is the only difference that you don't use RPCs?
Restricting them too much is a double edged sword because a lot of people use government work as a stepping stone even if they don't go to work for people they directly deal with. Making it too hard to find a job after can make good lawyers never go into public service because they couldn't get the cushy private gig afterwards.

Wow, I didn't make the last name connection until reading this thread. The Wikipedia page[1] for Annapurna Pictures doesn't even mention that the founder is the child of a billionaire. It just kind of implies the founder dabbled in film school for two semesters, went off to travel the world, and then -poof- a media production company is conjured into existence. Pretty rosy depiction of nepotism.

I didn't ask for an estimation, I asked for the exact weight. A human can do this given the process I described.

If the chain of thought was accurate, then it would be able to give you an internemdiate output of the shape in some 3d format spec. But nowhere in the model does that data exist, because its not doing any reasoning, it just still all statistically best answers.

I mean sure, you could train a model on how to create 3d shapes out of pictures, but again, thats not reasoning.

I don't get why people are so attached to these things being intelligent. We all agree that they are usefull. Like it shouldn't matter if its not intelligent to you or anyone else.
I'm nearing greybeard status, so I have to chime in on the "get off my lawn" aspect.

There is no one general "good engineering". Everything is different. Labels suck because even if you called one thing "microservices", or even "monolith of microservices", I can show you 10 different ways that can end up. So "modular monolith" is just as useless a descriptor; it's too vague.

Outside of the HN echo chamber, good engineering practice has been happening for decades. Take open source for example. Many different projects exist with many different designs. The common thread is that if a project creates some valuable functionality, they tend to expose it both at the application layer and library layer. They know some external app will want to integrate with it, but also they know somebody might want to extend the core functionality.

I personally haven't seen that method used at corporations. If there are libraries, they're almost always completely independent from an application. And because of that, they then become shared across many applications. And then they suddenly discover the thing open source has been dealing with for decades: dependency.

If you aren't aware, there is an entire universe out there of people working solely on managing dependencies so that you, a developer or user, can "just" install software into your computer and have it magically work. It is fucking hard and complicated and necessary. If you've never done packaging for a distro or a language (and I mean 250+ hours of it), you won't understand how much work it is or how it will affect your own projects.

So yes, there are modular moniliths, and unmodular monoliths, and microservices, and libraries, and a whole lot of varied designs and use cases. Don't just learn about these by reading trendy blog posts on HN. Go find some open source code and examine it. Package some annoying ass complex software. Patch a bug and release an update. These are practical lessons you can take with you when you design for a corporation.
You can think of it as content, but its parasocial none the less.

Edit: If the machine is plugged into a power bar / power strip / whatever you want to call it, this is much easier still: Plug the vampire UPS into the power bar as well, wait for it to sync up to the grid, and disconnect the bar from the outlet. The UPS continues to feed power into the bar and thus keeps the machine powered.

Ecocide wasn’t the deserved myth, it was the necessary one.

Fair points. If I may add my own perception of their reality, these are often nymph like teen which maps the usual boy feminine ideal.. so instead of fantasizing about it in comics or animes they have real ones behind screens to interact / drool / peep on, which is also a very boy like mindset. Later on your understanding of beauty, love, relationship evolves beyond that thin layer. It's their neverending christmas.
Making anything sacred outside of Christianity (and other established religions) offends more people and makes the fight harder. I think we should concentrate on practical, inclusive arguments about the environmental, ecological, educational, and experiential benefits of keeping large areas of land free from development and industrial exploitation, and create a hierarchy of management from maximally protected / minimally exploited areas down to fully exploited areas that have little ecological value but provide a different value such as timber production or recreation.

I ask ChatGPT whether it knows things all the time. But it's almost never answers no.

As an experiment I asked it if it knew how to solve an arbitrary PDE and it said yes.

I then asked it if it could solve an arbitrary quintic and it said no.

So I guess it can say it doesn't know if it can prove to itself it doesn't know.

Excellent points.

I don't know if the US could halve their spending on healthcare, but I do believe they could reduce overall healthcare spending by 25%, and be able to provide healthcare to ALL of their citizens.

Their problem is they have too many citizens who believe they can only climb by pushing others down, and so they need to deny their fellow citizens healthcare so they themselves can believe they're succeeding.

Such a selfish civilization is doomed to collapse. Even AI agrees with me! :)
I think that's a horrible way to go about life, and I am glad most do not share your outlook and do take moral responsibility for their actions.
Any reason for the wired headphone requirement besides resistance to change?

Because you should be able to find a good quality pair for well under $50, and that would open up your device options to a wide array of smart watches. On top of that I think your kid will enjoy wireless more than wired.

Otherwise I’d recommend an iPod touch, or any old smartphone. Just set them up with mobile device management so that you can lock out any features you don’t want your kid using.

You can even activate the cellular and keep it quite locked down. You could restrict basically everything: apps, web browsing, calls, texts, etc.
Is that unusual? Nothing in the article compares it to other fires. Honestly curious.

1300 is a nice sample size if you're sampling randomly.

If 1/3 of people have a trait, you'll get a good sense it's common after asking 300 people, even if the total population is a million. Surveying more gives diminishing returns as the result quickly converges on the real proportion.

The real problem with all surveys is the sampling isn't truly random, which skews results.

To put in context, 50k gallons is about the size of the largest in-ground pool you might see in the back yard of an upscale suburban home. A normal tanker trailer you see on the highway carrying gasoline or whatever has a 7,500 gallon capacity, so over six of those. Quite a bit of water to dump on one car.
Android has shown PWAs can work fine for most applications. Apps are only a big deal because Apple cripples PWAs.
I can't really figure out how the stakes of your analogy are supposed to map to the Nebula situation. Nebula is a source of income. If it implodes, everyone still goes home.

And who would be buying shares if the company is sinking so badly? How does the ransacking work in the analogy, and does it even make a difference?

The part that sounds scary is that they're on the "first" life boat and everyone has to wait until "after" they're done ransacking, and that part doesn't sound like it maps to the real world at all.

But backing up to the more general sense, shadow equity is a reasonable way to do the profit sharing but you have to have real equity somewhere. Accepting that there are two tiers makes sense to me. And the reason it's a "small handful" with the realer equity is because those people either built the company or paid lots of money to the people that built the company, that's pretty fair.
Job postings that don't respond to inquiries about the role are a waste of your time, and it's possible to spend all day every day applying to them. Job postings without a method of contact are probably some kind of scam.

The easiest step, IMHO, is to start by ignoring employers who use a service to filter applicants.
Well, I guess for gas-powered car 500 gallons would be sufficient, so 2 orders of magnitude less water.

EDIT: 500 gallons was originally just a wild guess, but here's an article where some firefighter gives 500-1000 gallons range: https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/tesla-crash-dri...

It could also be that maciej has enough paying users that he can afford to coast and be unresponsive, losing some users in the process, in order to do whatever else he's doing these days.

That is a great suggestion. I think Android just implemented a “snatch detection” system for phones. Although, I like the idea of not requiring additional hardware. I guess when I start running a drug empire I will have to pony up for the extra dongle.

Use any. I used to work with Flax, now I work with Equinox more. Choose any between Flax, Equinox, and Haiku.
Plus it needed an airplane to dump fire retardant.
