This, Netflix account-sharing blocking, and the ever increasing amount of streaming platforms (that mean an overall reduced catalogue per platform) leads me to believe we will see a resurgence in piracy.
How many flights have you taken in your lifetime? How many children do you have? Do you eat meat? Do you use multiple monitors when a 14" one would do? Why don't you cycle instead of using an EV? Do you not use solar panels? You could apply this reductionist logic to almost everything in the world.
"Freeloading on the rest of us", "some sacrifice might be required". What a depressing, dictatorial view.
Sacrificing people doesn't seem especially kind. Be kind, eh. When it suits you, I guess.
The only way to realistically use a non-tactile button is to take your eyes off the road to look at what you need to press. That's the issue, anything else is irrelevant. I'm glad they're going back to physical buttons, I won't buy a car that doesn't have them.
> Portland was home to the UX designers who wanted to redesign everything to look nicer but didn't understand how customers used our products
I think that's every single piece of modern software to date. I call them "Dribbblrs", because it's like they take inspiriation from these websites (e.g. Dribbble) that fetishize things that look pretty but are dogshit to use. I really wish it would end but I don't see it happening unless there's a revolution from within the UX community (which I am not a part of).
Well, I'd argue that it makes the message more likely to be ignored. I think winning people over is a useful skill (not even on the internet, but in life)
Isn't that going to be extremely slow? I can only realistically run 7B 5-bit models on my RTX 3060, anything more and it offloads to the CPU. My responses go from almost-instantaneous to 3mins+.
The inscrutability of how page ranking works in HN is increasingly a problem in my eyes. I understand it's an attempt at preventing gaming the system, but I'm not convinced it works.
> "For centuries, builders tried to cut costs by limiting how much cement they used and incorporating recycled waste materials into their concrete," says Salvatore Aprea, head of the Acm research group. "The challenge now is to revive these old methods—not for financial reasons but for the sake of our planet."
I put it to you that if it was financially viable and simple ("ancient methods"), it would already be done.
We have a dishwasher but rarely use it (only for parties, etc). Loading / unloading is surpringly time-consuming, imho washing by hand is quicker.
Something I'd consider doing if I was single would be to have two smaller dishwashers, and alternate them, and leave the clean ones in the dishwasher...
I think you should re-evaluate how you speak to people online, it is unnecesarily hostile and I guarantee you wouldn't speak to me this way in real life.
