Whenever I come across such news, it seems like we are still far from grasping the complete picture. It's akin to gazing at the sky without a telescope and assuming we have seen all the stars in the universe.
I speculate that in the coming decades or centuries, a new instrument may enable us to delve deeper into the atom and reveal that what we perceive now is merely a minuscule fraction of the whole picture.
Perhaps the notion that the subatomic world is as vast as the universe, as stated by Richard Feynman when he said "There’s plenty of room at the bottom.", holds more truth than we realize.
I think we're stretching the definition of "logos" here. Just sticking text in a square doesn't make it a true logo.
Think of Apple or Nike, those are real logos. The recent logos and icons, including apps like Photoshop's, seem more like we're prioritizing metrics over creativity.
One neat trick I discovered for finding good movies on IMDb is to delve into the review history of users who share my unique tastes, especially when they diverge from mainstream opinions.
For example, I found "Paris, Texas" to be pretty disappointing, yet most reviews were overwhelmingly positive. So, I sought out others who also didn't enjoy it and explored their review history to find movies we both agreed on.
Occasionally, you'll hit the jackpot and find an avid reviewer whose taste aligns perfectly with yours, providing a treasure trove of excellent movie recommendations.
I like to call these users my "IMDb doppelgangers."
When I was younger, I was fascinated by evolution, especially the intricacies of how things just work. This fascination also explains why many people believe in the intelligent design theory.
However, witnessing the rapid evolution of AI with just a few hundred GPUs, enough data, and power, I no longer wonder what a billion years of feedback loops and randomness can achieve.
So, ACF injected notices into everyone's dashboards to push their own legal agenda. It’s a move that reeks of self-interest more than community benefit.
While everyone’s ready to grab their pitchforks at Matt, this actually sounds somewhat reasonable. Still, given its impact, this could easily be seen as a breach of trust. Definitely a move that's going to stir the pot.
I recently read "Sell or Be Sold" by Grant Cardone. While the author might come off as a bit scammy, the book itself offers valuable insights. The key takeaway for me was the importance of genuinely believing in what you're selling. You need to be convinced that your product or service is the best possible solution for your customer, whether it's in terms of value for money, ease of use, or any other criteria. By selling it, you're actually improving their life.
As a programmer, I found this perspective particularly enlightening. It taught me that effective selling isn't just about persuasion; it's about conviction and truly understanding the value of what you're offering.
I've often thought that simpler technology tends to be more robust because it has fewer moving parts.
This might be an apples-to-oranges comparison, but I've noticed that writing vanilla PHP or JavaScript code, while harder at first, results in more robust and easier-to-debug applications. On the other hand, using frameworks, ORMs, and other abstractions can make the codebase feel brittle and harder to maintain.
A little OT but instead of a regex a LLM can be really good to fix HN titles and avoid such errors, e.g.
Prompt: remove any hyperbole from this title otherwise leave it as it is: "just for fun. no really"
Gpt 4: The title “Just for Fun. No Really” doesn’t contain any hyperbole, so it can be left as it is.
The concept is good but the site design is just awful. The page is non responsive. Can't search and the scroll is very slow. Not sure why a such a simple page is designed to take up so much CPU.
I have a deep admiration for Steve Jobs and the revolutionary impact Apple had on the computing world. They truly had the potential to push the boundaries of innovation even further. However, it's disappointing to see how they have clamped down on innovation under the guise of security. By turning against hackers, who were once their allies, they have stifled the very spirit of creativity and exploration that once defined them.
In contrast, I'm grateful for my Android phone. Despite its own set of issues, it still allows me the freedom to root it and truly own my device. This openness fosters a community of innovation and experimentation, something that Apple seems to have moved away from. It's a reminder that while security is important, it shouldn't come at the cost of stifling innovation and user freedom.
I really was hoping that tailwind was a fad which died but like everything JavaScript it's here to stay sadly
I recently found myself staring at a button element with more classes than I have ever seen like <button class="bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-600 text-white font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded-md shadow-md">Click me!</button>.
It’s like the eccentric artist who insists on using every color in the palette. After been forced to use it for almost 2 years I still don't see the point. Your HTML files? Bloated. Your sanity? Questionable. And those cryptic class names? Why God did we have to do this.
Gmail has become very aggressive with spam filtering and it's understandable with the amount of emails being sent. But this whole thing about spam filtering, dkim, spf, feel like band-aids over band-aids all the way down.
A customer recently filed a PP dispute that she never got the software she ordered. She didn't get my emails as all support and welcome emails were going to spam.
There has got to be better way to communicate without so many closed-source gatekeepers deciding your fate. It's been decades since the internet was invented yet we still use such a fragile non-deterministic approach for handing basic communication.
