I have done this in the past using a tilling window manager and it's still better to use different displays. There is something about our monkey brains that makes 'different physical object = do different things' work better than all having it on the same monitor.

I did get it to work for me with thick black bars between the screens, but when you're giving up an inch of screen real estate for every virtual monitor then you might as well get physical ones.
My guess is we don’t have any current infrastructure for outside the city depots. Right now trucks pick up the cargo after long distance shipping and take them straight to their final destination. Setting up what you’re talking about would require a paradigm shift in how the trucking industry works.

You can achieve them with native controls but only at the bottom-most layer, if you actually want consistency. Spotify for example does not use Material on Android, Human Design Guidelines on Apple, and Fluent on Windows (well, they use Electron, bypassing native desktop entirely), they use their own custom controls that may at the very bottom layer be based on native text inputs, but they rebuilt all the actual UI stuff from scratch to achieve a unified look and act.

This is all well and good but the people I see on HN are ones that say that the app should actually look native on each platform, ie Material on Android etc. This opinion is what I'm pushing back on, not the fact that ctrl + C works on Windows and CMD + C works on Mac.

Of course, this is the reason why cross platform frameworks are so popular, if you're already gonna have to rewrite the UI for every platform, why not just do it once and save yourself the effort? After all, users won't care, as they've shown, because they care much more about new features coming out. There are always tradeoffs because time is finite.

> This is a big problem I've run into when doing user studies myself

Sigh, do you really think that all of these weren't considered when we did user studies? This is like 101 material, frankly almost insulting to imply that we didn't, therefore it can justify your priors, even though I agree with your points to some extent as said before.
Yeah. The CoPilot plugin for PyCharm is pretty good, so not sure what Cursor offers above that esp now that CoPilot can use Claude Sonnet on the backend.
This sounds like a great proposal. Another consideration is to means-test the step-up basis the estate up to a certain size.

It would certainly be harder to comply with but both together seem like a no-brainer. These people need to pay their fair share.
Aw too bad, this has been a really useful service. I wonder if anyone wants to pick it up? The post mentions part of the problem is Mastodon's implementation being a poor match to high volume bots. You could imagine other architectures that were more efficient for this use case, it'd be a fun yak shaving exercise.

If anyone needs to migrate their own projects I've had good luck with feed2toot, to post RSS to a Mastodon account on a ordinary server. It's been around a long time now and seems reliable.

An interesting theory (albeit likely sci-fi) is that on a long enough timescale, any existence of an advanced precursor society will have been lost by tectonic plates sliding down. But that's a timescale of hundreds of millions of years (apparently the earth is ~4.5 billion years old, human life that left traces of intelligence behind is a percentage of a percentage of that)
Highways are simpler on paper, but it turns out that any crazy thing (pedestrians, obstacles, etc.) that happens on a city street can happen on a highway, so you have to be ready for that. Energies are many multiples higher at highway speed, so "contact" events are much more serious.

You still use type systems, tests, and code review.

For a lot of use cases it's powerful.

If you ask it to build out a brand new system with a complex algorithm or to perform a more complex refactoring, it'll be more work correcting it than doing it yourself.

Don't Be a Jerk
A while ago someone asked a question here on HN. I answered, and while it didn't take long, it did take a moment or two of my time. Freely given.

Then the question was deleted. No thanks, no acknowledgement, no reply. Just summarily deleted.

In the grander scheme of things it's small fry, but it irritated me. They probably don't care. After all, who am I to them? But still, it rankled a bit.

People - don't be a jerk. If you ask a question and someone answers, say thank you. They've taken the time, does it cost you too much to be polite?

Or am I just completely out of touch with reality?
I'm not really sure what you're arguing, because the initial claim was there's no evolutionary benefit to undereating. Yes you can store visceral fat and I'm not arguing there isn't a benefit for that, just that there's a clear benefit for undereating as well.

> You COMPLETELY missed the elephant in the room : 8K TVs have really, really massive CPUs that waste a TON of power (150-200w for the CPU, 300-400w for the TV, often!)

RTINGS measured the Samsung QN800A as consuming 139W typical, with a peak of 429W.

Your numbers aren't even close to accurate. 8K TVs do not have 200W CPUs inside. The entire Samsung QN800A uses less power during normal operation than you're claiming the CPU does. You do not need as much power as a mid-range GPU to move pixels from HDMI to a display.

> There's a reason why European regulations banned 100% of 8K TVs

This is also incorrect. European regulations required the default settings, out of the box, to hit a certain energy target.

So large TVs in Europe (8K or otherwise) need to come with their brightness turned down by default. You open the box, set it up, and then turn the brightness to the setting you want.

> until the manufacturers undoubtedly paid for a loophole

This is unfounded conspiracy theory that is also incorrect. Nobody paid for a loophole. The original law was written for out-of-the-box settings. Manufacturers complied with the law. No bribes or conspiracies.

> If everybody were to upgrade to an 8K TV tomorrow, then I think it would throw away all the progress we've made on Global Warming for the past 20 years ...

The Samsung QN800A 8K TV the author uses, even on high settings, uses incrementally more power than other big screen TVs. The difference is about equal to an old incandescent lightbulb or two. Even if everyone on Earth swapped their TV for a 65" 8K TV tomorrow (lol) it would not set back 20 years of global warming.

This comment is so full of incorrect information and exaggerations that I can't believe it's one of the more upvoted comments here.

I'd like to give it a respectful burial, without causing a police response.

Unfortunately that's not an option.

A respectful burial means contacting the authorities so that the remains can be properly identified, and their final disposition noted in the public record. Remember this was once a human being, likely with many relations, however far back. The remains could be of someone entirely forgotten, but could be the missing link in some family's long and painfully sad story, also.

Meanwhile, the tail risk of getting into some kind of trouble for attempting to sidestep this necessary process is quite considerable.

So there's really only one course of action available to your father's heirs. Since there's also a small but considerable chance of being hit with some kind of charge (even if you do contact the authorities in perfectly good faith, and presuming of course that no hanky panky was involved in acquiring the skeleton on the first place), the first step will be to contact a criminal defense lawyer.

Quite some inheritance you were left with, there.

The parent comment is completely wrong on nearly every point it makes. I don't know why it's so upvoted right now.

It doesn't even pass the common sense test. Does anyone really think TVs have 200W CPUs inside just to move pixels around? That's into the territory of a high-end GPU or server CPU. You don't need that much power to move some pixels to a display.

I comment so frequently on Waymo posts that I'm sure folks think I'm a shill... That said, I agree with this post fully and I'm not a vulnerable population at all. I can't say enough positives about the experience. I hope to God the safety record (no fatalities, minimal or zero serious injuries caused by a Waymo) continues because it will be a huge bummer if vasts swaths of the US (world?) population aren't able to take advantage of this in their daily lives. I really think it will radically change personal transportation. I also think competition would be great because that will force prices to remain somewhat reasonable so bring on Tesla, Cruise, whomever else can safely deliver a similar product.

The fact that you think "change detection" tests offer zero value speaks volumes. Those may well be the most important use of unit tests. Getting the function correct in the first place isn't that hard for a senior developer, which is often why it's tempting to skip unit tests. But then you go refactor something and oops you broke it without realizing it, some boring obvious edge case, or the like.

These tests are also very time consuming to write, with lots of boilerplate that AI is very good at writing.
I can definitely see the value in letting AI generate low stakes code. I'm a daily CoPilot user and, while I don't let it generate implementations, the suggestions it gives for boilerplate-y things is top notch. Love it as a tool.

My major issue with your position is that, at least in my experience, good software is the sum of even the seemingly low risk parts. When I think of real world software that people rely on (the only type I care about in this context) then it's hard to point a finger at some part of it and go "eh, this part doesn't matter". It all matters.

The alternative, I fear, is 90% of the software we use exhibiting subtle goofy behavior and just being overall unpleasant to use.

I guess an analogy for my concern is what it would look like if 60% of every film was AI generated using the models we have today. Some might argue that 60% of all films are low stakes scenes with simple exposition or whatever. And then remaining 40% are the climax or other important moments. But many people believe that 100% of the film matters - even the opening credits.

And even if none of that were an issue: in my experience it's very difficult to assess what part of an application will/won't be low/high stakes. Imagine being a tech startup that needs to pivot your focus toward the low stakes part of the application that the LLM wrote.

The GFS is a coarser model which covers the entire globe, so while the overall situation at the synoptic scale will tend be modeled quite well (at least inside of a few days into the future), the resolution of smaller-scale weather phenomena taking into account local factors just isn't going to be there.

For something maybe more useful on the local scale, you can also look at a model like the HRRR (which I believe does take into account the terrain and other local effects from things like larger bodies of water). While this model only really covers the conterminous United States and southern Canada, I've generally found it good for showing the shorter-term, local weather details, including forecasting convective storms and winds on and around the Great Lakes.
> How about along a randomized delay (0-T time) to each order?

This is the sort of good idea that just entrenches the algos. (Former algorithmic derivatives trader.)

For small orders, these delays make no difference. For a big order, however, it could be disastrously embarassing. So now, instead of that fund's trader feeling comfortable directly submitting their trade using off-the-shelf execution algos, they'll route it to an HFT who can chunk it into itty bity orders diarrhea'd through to average out the randomness of those delays.

I think you made the same points twice so refer to my other reply regarding your first few paragraphs.

> For people in the Apple ecosystem, they don't want to see something that looks like it belongs on Android.

I have not seen evidence among normal people that this is true, given that the most popular apps all have custom UIs that don't necessarily follow Apple's HIG, TikTok for example. Regardless, the point is that if you're making an app for every platform like iOS, Android, Windows etc, you must make a choice lest you exclude all non-Apple users for example. ByteDance does therefore indeed use Flutter, based on this (at least in some capacity).

> mobile, tablet, and desktop experiences are often quite different

Don't conflate unified UI to mean non responsiveness. Look at Spotify, their UI is essentially the same in design except it is responsive among mobile, tablet and desktop, all while not looking native at all on any of them.

Regarding accessibility, many frameworks can be robust in that simply because they hook into the native implementation anyway, so I'm not sure where this trope of not having accessibility comes from. Here is Flutter's for example, with a dev in this thread also having talked about how they have one of the most robust implementations of accessibility that they have found among any framework: https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/accessibility-and-internationali...

Outsourcing it to someone else is really nice.

You don’t need one big instance like Twitter was. Having a small handful of big ones works well too.

But the dream some people seemed to have where everyone should run their own instance alone or with a few friends was never going to happen.

The other thread on HN about the funding waymo received just went to show how little Tesla and their fans know about Autonomy and that it cannot be solved with their hardware stack.
