> Uh, what? I have my touchpad tuned so that one swipe from top left to bottom right is exactly equal to going from the top left to bottom right of my display. And aside from that, how do you think people play FPS games, that they think about every mouse movement and then do it?

I think that FPS players are conscious of where they are aiming. They don’t just automatically move their mouse in the exact same way to hit every enemy on screen.

There may be some specific movements, like swiping or turning 180 degrees which have a specific motion (or gesture) related to it, but that isn’t the same as aiming, which you can’t memorize as where you aim is different every time depending on your targets position and movement.

Yes there is :)

I’m sorry, but this is a bad argument.
Obviously is software isn’t made to support keyboard centric use, it will not be great to use it only with a keyboard.

Imagine if you were writing a book, but your software wasn’t made with keyboard support. You’d need to use the mouse to click every letter. Or one where each clickable button is buried in >3 layers of dropdown menus.
That would be equally terrible.

If you have an application optimized for keyboard interaction, it will be faster (tho less intuitive) to interact with it than one which is optimized for mouse movements.

There is a good compromise between speed of use and intuitive usability which is mouse-centric with hot keys.

But to interact as quickly as possible, you’d want to stick with one consistent input device, and motion based input devices don’t cut it.

I mean use what you want though. If you like using a mouse, use it.

I think the racism and anti immigration rhetoric is what they meant by right wing.
That looks pretty similar but I like the use of classes in react-class-model to encourage keeping logic out of components. It's not shown in the readme but using context is optional - you can similarly achieve global state by storing it in a variable and then using `watchCounterModel` (the third return value from `defineModel`) to subscribe to updates on it. Both hooks also return proxies to re-render only when the referenced fields change.
It was. The vulnerability is the use of `pull_request_target` on a workflow that has access to secrets.
Pet peeve: parents you meet in passing warning me that $THEIR_KIDS_AGE is actually the hardest age to parent after asking how old my son is. :)

Nice post, new babies are really magical. There are so many more transformations coming! Now that I have two, one of them coming up on age 4, so many new things make sense. You don’t immediately get the sense of the father/son discipline dynamic when they’re infants. You watch someone go from “perfect” to perfectly
human. A little angel to a little man. The first time your child hurts someone: that’s when fatherhood shifts into gear.

I think this is a good application for the Lightning Network, specifically if people use a Lightning Address where the address uses the same domain as the URL of the webpage. There are a lot of people in Lightning world who also hate scams (and any other crypto coin for that matter) and just want to make this work as money (and already have).

A real-world example where Lightning Network is already working is Nostr. It's not hard to get a Nostr client with built-in Lightning functionality (like Primal) and start "zapping" tiny payments to others.

I'm not affiliated with Primal, just a fan, and a developer who wants to see a system like this work.
I strongly suggest not buying any electronic components from Amazon, but 5VDC LED light strings should be OK.

Do not roll the dice on the power supply, buy a UL listed one. If you buy some shitty Chinese PSU and it lights your house on fire, your homeowners insurance will deny the claim.

This one puts out 30w @ 5VDC and is also UL listed:

Runna doesn't get everything right. It didn't seem good at adjusting your plan based on performance, if it even tries to do that at all. My first few weeks of runs were much too easy, and I had to experiment with manually generating different plans with faster and slower target race times until the zone paces seemed right for me. Would have been great if it adjusted on the fly and I could have kept the same plan.

This is not my area of expertise, but if I understand the article correctly, they created a model that matches pre-existing audio clips to pre-existing images. But instead of returning the matching image, the LLM generates a distorted fake image which is vaguely similar to the real image.

So it doesn't really, as the title claims, turn recordings into images (it already has the images) and the distorted fake images it creates are only "accurate" in that they broadly slot into the right category in terms of urban/rural setting, amount of greenery and amount of sky shown.

It sounds like the matching is the useful part and the "generative" part is just a huge disadvantage. The paper doesn't seem to say if the LLM is any better than other types of models at the matching part.
That looks great! I moved from Fish and NuShell to Zsh because of its reasonable compatibility with bash, so OSH seems right up my alley.

I had a similar thought last time I was in an airport for an international flight and instead of scanning my boarding pass and looking at my passport they just let everyone walk through and as you passed the door it would tell you your seat number.

When I was in Mexico I filed a report with the airport after an employee selling timeshares was overly aggressive and grabbed my arm and try to block me from leaving. Quickly they showed me a video of my entire time with all my movements at the airport so they could pinpoint the employee.

Like the article says I think it is just a matter of time until such systems are everywhere. We are already getting normalized to it at public transportation hubs with almost 0 objections. Soon most municipalities or even private businesses will implement it and no one will care because it already happens to them at the airport, so why make a fuss about it at the grocery store or on a public sidewalk.

> It ignores the desperation of the masses for the Middle Class lifestyle they’ve been promised

Oh are we talking about minimum wage jobs, labor & the proletariat now? I thought we were talking about software engineering, where the average salary is very comfortably in the 6 figure range in the US. If you’d rather be a plumber or a teacher, go for it, I hear the interviews are shorter. ;)

Why would charging a small fee for applications encourage fraud? I don’t see the logic. The problem you complained about is the low-effort spam applications, like LinkedIn’s 1-click apply-all button. If that was no longer free, it would certainly reduce the spam and make applicants think more strategically about their budgets.

Companies already use recruiters. Recruiters are expensive and many provide low quality leads, partly because of the way recruiting is incentivized, and partly because good software engineers don’t have to move around that much.

I can see why you might believe that, but it's simply not true. There are countless well documented examples and scientific studies that show that animals exhibit all the traits you describe. Chimpanzees show compassion by consoling victims of aggression [0], being especially attentive to others with whom they have a closer bond. They have friends and relatives just like we do, they value those social structures just like we do, and they choose to give them emotional support, without getting anything in return.

Rats try and free restrained cage mates [1] and share their food with them, even though from a selfish perspective it would be better for them to eat the food and not share. They understand the other is suffering and try to alleviate it, just like we do.

Neural imaging on animals has shown that their brains both have the same features that ours do for these purposes and they use them in similar ways. All of this is not even remotely controversial, it's well understood and thoroughly studied across numerous decades.

The FDA is a big organization that's been around for a long time. I would be confident in assuming, at one time or another, individuals working there have done both really bad and really good things. Citing examples of the bad things could be countered with citing examples of the good things. Best we can do is try and find out about the bad things and punish those involved to try and keep the balance leaning toward more good than bad.
You don't sound like you'd accept anything as an excuse, so that's really not saying a whole lot...
Congress could write a law that would allow the FDA consider those foreign processes, or cross-approve or similar. Yet nobody ever advocates for that.

The ultimate (and often overlooked) failure mode for using your own domain name is death. You will die and at that point unless you have set up and funded a process to renew the domain name perpetually after your death then after some period of time it will expire. Anyone can then register "your" domain name and start using it which includes receiving all the email addressed to it. If your bank happens to send 2FA emails to this account then the new owner will then have access to your bank account. Personally I want my heirs to own my bank account after I'm dead, not whatever random person happens to register a domain name that I was using.

This sounds extreme but it's only the most dramatic example. This scenario can happen any time during your life if your domain is not renewed for any number of other reasons.

So for me I've had to accept the risk which comes from keeping my most important emails on a large free email provider. At least if they ban me they aren't going to let someone else access my email either. For everything else - the less important accounts - I do use a domain name that I "own".

> is it like this for everyone

The answer is certainly "no". But does it matter? I guess it does in this age - after decades of social conditioning that parenthood is not much but an individual's lifestyle choice.

All this leading to worsening of social cohesion at all levels, inability to think beyond one's lifetime, extreme self-absorption, decrease in hope, demographic collapse across the world.

Not for nothing humans developed social pressure for parenthood: why would most humans willingly choose to give up their selfs for others over decades (if not lifetime)? Even laws/sanctions don't work if you don't morally know what is the right path.
The article correctly points out that the amount of information available in a controlled environment. makes it not even that same problem. If I have data on your irises and blood vessels and cranium shape, good luck evading a match if I get you where I can get the same measurements. On the street there are some hacks, like measuring gait, that can compensate for less face data, but evading a useful match that's not one of a zillion false positives is much easier.
Yes, you can be held liable for failing to properly perform discovery. But the general case isn’t what we’re talking about here. It’s the specific case of using an LLM to assist with it.

> You seem to have your mind made up anyways.

I haven't made up my mind about anything; it's you who claimed that using an LLM "is a great way to get sued for negligence." It's a fundamental rule of debate that person who makes the argument bears the burden of supporting it.

You seem to be making the implicit assumption that using an LLM to assist with the process will probably be found to constitute negligence. Again, why should anyone believe you, especially if it hasn’t happened yet? Your argument is just FUD, pure and simple.

As an attorney I can tell you these questions just aren't that simple. You can get sued for anything. But that's not really all that important. What matters is whether LLMs would do a worse job of performing document review than human review would. The answer to that question will depend on the specific facts of the case and the current state of the art.

We simply don't know yet what the error rate is of using an LLM; and the tech is improving rapidly. One should expect enterprising attorneys to test them out experimentally to build trust. For example, they can easily be tested vs. human review on small document corpuses.

If what you’re trying to do is to publish prepared images of yourself, that won’t be facially recognized as you, then the answer is “not very much at all actually” — see https://sandlab.cs.uchicago.edu/fawkes/.

> I still think it's pretty clear that there can be some hierarchy within that category. HTS and the Kurds are less evil than the Taliban, which is less evil than Al-Qaeda, which is less evil than ISIS.

This I can agree with for sure. There are lesser evils and a hierarchy. I think the hierarchy also depends on the situation on the ground for who it's tolerable to support at a specific time. If it would have taken HTS as much bloodshed to get to where they are today as it did Assad to originally regain control, then I think it would less favorable than what actually happened, for example.

I can't tolerate the web without an ad blocker, and it's not just ads. Pressure from ad networks to build sites that match advertising friendly structure makes every site overly verbose. Social media sites encourage cover images, so every blog post has an image (often unrelated, creepy, uncanny valley gen-AI). So cut-the-crap is valuable tool.

A different solution is to avoid content discovery mechanisms that funnel you to AI slop and other disfunction. I'd really like a search engine that could filter out sites with ads and affiliate links, because those sites have competing interests that lead to low quality or even harmful content.

Thankfully there's a sea of independent bloggers who don't care about revenue and just want to write. They build websites that are reader friendly and aren't painful to interact with.
US Congress: H.R.9566 – Share IT Act
> This bill requires federal agencies to ensure that custom-developed code (i.e., source code that is produced under an agency contract, funded exclusively by the federal government, or developed by federal employees as part of their official duties) and certain technical components of the code such as architecture designs and metadata are (1) owned by the agency, (2) stored at no less than one public or private repository, and (3) accessible to federal employees under certain procedures. Agency contracts for custom-development of software must acquire and exercise rights sufficient to allow government-wide access, sharing, use, and modification of any custom-developed code.

> The bill does not apply to source code that is classified, developed primarily for use in a national security system, or developed by an element of the intelligence community. An agency's office of the chief information officer may exempt source code from being shared or made publicly accessible to protect individual privacy.

By car? If you live within 100 miles of USA border there’s likely interior checkpoints. Often times they just wave you on but it still impedes flow of highway traffic. Occasionally they do the dog and pony show of asking if you are citizen or not. Additionally, a metric shit ton of cameras installed at entrance. Likely as part of quasi legal facial recognition operation and license plate tracking.
