The pope's "lane" is humanity. In reading the article, I found the position he puts forth to be measured and considered, focusing not on the technical aspects of AI, but rather on how to approach its use and implementation with empathy and careful thought.
I've been working on a super-straightforward volunteering platform -- https://handsup.barryvan.com.au/ . Mainly because I got frustrated with my kids' school and sailing club activities being (mis)managed across WhatsApp, Google Forms, pieces of paper, and the like.
Really interesting to see just how _loud_ the infrasound from these datacentres can be.
I'm curious as to what the cause is, though. I have to imagine it's related to the cooling systems in some way -- but is it the overall datacentre's cooling, or all the individual fans? Or something else entirely?
There are lots of ways to style these native controls, though, including ways to start from scratch and retain the accessibility affordances.
I'd be curious to know more about the usability issues you've found on mobile -- I've not had any personally when using radio buttons. I'll readily grant you that 'select' is awful everywhere though!
> The vast spider population is attributed to an abundant food supply: more than 2.4 million midges in the cave, ready to be entangled in the intricate web.
...although I guess the question then is what sustains the millions of midges!
As an Aussie, it terrifies me that it could be anywhere close to what working in America could be like. But having heard stories like the Walmart "smile" failure in Germany, I can only assume it's not too far off.
Most, including the company I work for, operate on a 100/100/80 model: 100% pay for 100% performance/output in 80% of the time. This means that, for example, meetings are generally short, on time, and straight into the topic. For me personally, and from what I've heard from colleagues, you get more done when you don't have the same mid-week or end-of-week slump.
The company I work for, Wonde, allows staff to choose the day. There's negotiation with the manager to ensure appropriate coverage across the week, and a fair bit of flexibility around swapping days around as and when necessary too.
I'm a PM and I assumed that this was parody at first. I've been guilty of using terms like this with customers ("Not something we can do at the moment, but certainly something to think about down the track."), but always with a sense of discomfort -- or an attempt to make it clear that it's a "nice no".
Inside a company, I don't think there should be space for these sorts of responses. I can see these only being necessary/used where people are disenfranchised and not involved in setting or understanding the overall product priorities. But then I've always seen the PM's prioritisation role more as an expert mediator than a dictator...
I've been thoroughly enjoying these streams. I think I now have a better understanding of a lot of the underlying basics of not only game dev but also general C++ development. All of my professional programming has been in higher-level languages so it's really interesting to me to see the thought processes that go into developing in C++.
Not quite, though. It's a shortcut to copy-and-paste text into a _Google_ app. For example, this wouldn't let you use Apple Maps or TripAdvisor or whatever other system you may prefer, instead funnelling you into Google's ecosystem. It's an attempt to bypass competitors hidden under by a façade of convenience.
Nobody that we know of has yet been hurt by this. I think it's very unfair and unhelpful to call people who flag issues like this "whiners". Would you accept a chainsaw which worked fine 99.9% of the time, but occasionally just exploded even with normal care and use? Why should LLMs be subject to a different set of expectations from any other tool?
Loads of music production opportunities on Linux! Reaper (which I use, albeit in Windows), Bitwig, Ardour, Renoise (which, as a tracker, may be more approachable for Devs), and more besides! And there's always CMusic (with various bindings, including Python) if you want something more akin to a sketchpad/algorithmic system...
This sounds very promising, although I do have to wonder whether we could have seen these improvements many years ago if Intel (and AMD) had focussed more on efficiency.
Is that really so problematic, though? It's the same as ABC iView and SBS OnDemand, from what I can tell... Perhaps this is just to comply with local law, then?
I think the point of the page was that unless the site/app/program is explicit about the language being displayed, you'll get Simplified Chinese. As HN is an English-language site, it uses the default. Similarly, your terminal doesn't prioritise Japanese over Simplified or Traditional Chinese.
By way of contrast, if you paste that into the search bar on https://yahoo.jp/ , you'll get the appropriate Japanese characters, as that site is explicitly Japanese.
