Agreed. I almost exclusively use the "middle click" autoscroll feature to scroll on websites. It is completely broken on this site because of the scroll-snap.

with no human in the loop

With no basic validation either apparently. Insane.

When I say "low effort", I don't mean "not perfect". I was quite lax actually as I understood how annoying some users were when I asked my own questions.

I'm taking about entirely unreadable posts (not English, or just nonsensical) or posts that were very clearly a copy paste homework question with no code.

I helped hundreds of people of all skill levels for free, simply because I found it enjoyable. I quit when it stopped being enjoyable. It stopped being enjoyable when the quality of question declined to 99% garbage.

While there were many zealots that gave SO this reputation, I don't know if that's the reason it died.

As someone who frequently answered questions in the 'New' queue, the sheer amount of rule breaking, low effort, and obvious duplicates was astounding. I eventually quit answering questions because 99% of them were not worth interacting with. Just vote close and move on.

Ultimately, I think SO is dead because it got too popular and moderation became untenable.

What? Why?

Whatever you’re shipping to a phone isn’t for professionals anyway.

That's a bold statement.

I hate developing for iPhone, but I don't have a choice because 85% of the users of our B2B app are on iOS.

Interesting. Looking at each in isolation, my boundary is pretty far into Green territory. But when I look at the gradient, I would place it far closer to the center.

Also, I found that sometimes it looked like there were two colors. The top was green and bottom was blue. Maybe my monitor?

Really bad at prompt adherence. Was trying to get it to compose a solo old time banjo piece. Couldn't get it to stop adding in backing instrumentals at all and it sounded too much like bluegrass style.

"solo banjo instrumental, strictly no other instruments" ... ten seconds later: drums, a fiddle, and a guitar join in.

Also, water towers. As long as the power isn't out long enough to deplete the tower.

The title on HN is incorrect/misleading, they are not generating AI images. They are hand curating a database of images by location and using an LLM to pick the pictures.

69 million dollars in refunds!? That's 12% of the gross, seems crazy high. Is this pulling from actual Steam numbers?

This is really cool. Reminds me of the paintings in harry potter.

I wish I knew about this last week. I spent way too long trying out MinIO alternatives before getting SeaweedFS to work, but it is overkill for my purposes.

Looks like a great alternative.

You don't have to sacrifice anything, no one is making you install anti-cheat software.

Sacrificing freedom for fun? For video games of all things? That's pretty disgusting and I want people to be better than that.

What is the point of freedom if you have a joyless existence?

Awesome news, can't wait until they implement calendar support and I can get rid of Outlook once and for all.

The difference is where the product is labeled. Is it labeled nationally like Arizona Iced Tea? Is it labeled at a regional bottling facility? Or is it labeled at the store itself? And what about when tax rates change, you gonna go pull all the labels off everything in the whole store and update them?

Most of this could be resolved by not putting the prices on the products themselves, but that isn't as good of an experience for the shopper.

Sales tax varies by state/county/city. It is generally not cost-effective to have each individual store label all their products with local sales taxes applied.

They have a list of supported vacuums

$5m (single launch of compute module, solar & radiators)

This seems absurdly low to me.

There are 16 devices on my WiFi right now and I would've though I was above average. I have a bunch of weird stuff like 3 Raspberry Pis that most households would not have, but I don't have most of the stuff you listed.

I guess I am less "connected" than the average American. Can't say I feel like I am missing out, though.

That seems very high to me. A family of four each has 5 devices connected at the same time?

I don't think many people would consider limewire to be "self-hosting". That is just installing a program.

If your team’s current test process relies on distributing APKs to testers for installation using methods other than adb, you will need to verify your identity and register the package.

Absolute bullshit Google. You have no right telling me what I can and cannot run on my own devices. Regardless of how I choose to install it.

I can't find the nutrition information anywhere on the site. The first thing I look for when I see "no sugar added" on any product is the sugar content. Not being able to see that before buying is a no-go for me.

It hurts my head to even try to visualize this

It would also allow for assembly trimming, which would be a huge boon if you are trying to do a self contained deployment. Right now you either do framework dependant or have like a 200MB+ deployment.

Very true. We just developed a brand new LOB desktop app and settled on sticking with WPF. WinUI has been dead for years imo.

On a side note, I still love WPF after working in it for 10 years. Maybe it's just familiarity, and it's a little verbose at times, but man it's a great framework when you know that you're doing.

Oh, interesting, TIL. Didn't realize there was a second step to training these models.

This doesn't follow with my understanding of transformers at all. I'm not aware of any human labeling in the training.

What would labeling even do for an LLM? (Not including multimodal)

The whole point of attention is that it uses existing text to determine when tokens are related to other tokens, no?

I'm surprised that isn't already against the app store rules. Seems like it totally undermines the idea of an app being labeled as "free".
