Most Americans say "not in my backyard" to everything
I'm not saying they should want a data center in their backyard but headline wise "not in my backyard" is true of almost everything.
Lots of people enjoy what they do. There's no reason any of the billionares HN complains about couldn't go retire but they don't. Most of them are busy AF. Because they want to be as clearly they have the funds to stop
Tochoumae and Nishi-shinjuku are not connected underground, at least not in a pedstrian way. you have to exit to the surface then go back down. (unless they added something I'm unaware of). Touchoumae looks like it's connect at a glance on google map but zoom in and they are not.
Travelled through there every day for years but maybe I missed a hallway.
I'm not sure I get why the slider lagging behind where the pointer that's dragging it is a good thing.
They run linux and offer ssh but with a custom shell
That feels like DOS with short character limits etc. It's attrocious.
Ubiquiti sucks nowadays
Actually the general consensus is that they are amazing. You're in the minority
A lot of those options are necessary complexity, not incidental.
I believe this is false. I believe we just haven't figure out how to do it. I know it's not the same but if you give a sculpture a piece of clay they do not need 10000 options to mold it. Even a carpenter or wood smith don't need that many options.
I'm not saying I have the answer. I learned 3DSMax in 1995 and write extensive plugins for both 3DSMax and Maya (and PowerAnimator). I think someone just hasnt't figured out the better way and eventually they will.
Claiming something is far-right is the most common "bla bla bla I'm not listening to your valid factual point because I don't like it" comment on the internet.
They are evidence. you need care now. you don't get it. Regardless of the system. She's trying to claim there is some system where this wouldn't happen. There isn't. There is infinite need for healthcare and limited supply so some people will always be left out / denied.
Reminds me of C64 Kennedy Approach. Of course Kennedy Approach is 10x more stressful as you need to stack the planes at VOR towers and designate their elevation.
They're connecting Tokyo and Nihonbashi stations underground which will effective connect 10 stations in total with underground passages so that would be another interesting 3d map
Also, that map seems incomplete by at least a 3rd. The connection between it and Shinjuku-3-chome station is missing (the hallways just arbitrarily stop on that map) and the tunnels from there to the south entrance of Shinjuku station are missing as well as 3 more train platforms. I suppose you could argue that's a different station which is fine, but the fact that tunnels don't end where they appear to on this map is misleading.
Maybe this isn't special in the era of pre-funding but there's also over manufacturing. You have to guess how many you'll sell. If under guess you leave sales on the table. If you over guess you lose money to all your undersold but already paid for inventory.
I have not tried building custom solutions in Blender, but Maya is built for custom solutions. The entire thing is a C++ engine and then the UI you see is built from scripts, scripts you can fork and edit. (or it was as I haven't actually used Maya in a while). And of course they there are plenty of examples of customizations or custom UIs included to help get started.
Note: Blender might have this too. I haven't tried. But, my impression so far is Blender didn't start this way and trying to add it in after the fact is difficult. Maya stays clean because any UI feature needs to buildable from scripts. By enforcing that rule on themselves, they keep it customizable.
I love that Blender exists and I donate to it at a high-ish $$$ level monthly.
That said, I can't help but feel something is wrong with 3D asset creation in that becoming an expert at Blender or 3DSMax, Maya or literally any other 3D creation software, it's a multi-month if not multi-year project. There are 1000s upon 1000s of options buried all over in nested upon nested options.
Maybe AI will solve this. You ask for or sketch what you want and it does the 3000 steps to create it for you.
There just has to be a better way than what we have now. It (3d asset creation) practially hasn't changed much since ~1995. If you compare 3DSMax 1995 to Blender, with few execptions, you'll find them very recognizable. Yes, there are amazing features that have been added but still. It's quite a slog to get good at, not just artistic good, that's a whole extra level of training, I just mean good at knowing where and how to use the software.
I wish I had an idea for how to make it easier.
Agreed. I tried Microtik. Seemed like it was written by DOS people from the 70s or 80s, made difficult on purpose.
I ended up switching to back to Ubiquti.
It's super easy, and in most cases, incorrect to hate on AI.
There, fixed that for you.
I'm not saying the haters have zero point, but I find AI far more useful than not. I think so do most people. If I walk into any coffee shop and look over the at the screens of the people next to me, I see all asking AI questions and getting something positive from it. So I don't think "most cases" is correct.
Google was the previous revolution. AI is the next. I get info from LLMs way better than I generally got from Google, at least for some large subset of things I used to try to get from Google.
irrelevant
The OP is saying companies are operating on the myth that open source is free. No, they are not operating in my myth its free. Spending hundreds of millions a year is not "operating on the myth that open source is free". Spending 0 would be
Here, Googled that for you

I'm sure you'll just come back and say you shouldn't have to google it. But you have to draw the line somewhere. If they sold Cherry Pie, and you said "what's cherry pie, never heard of it" do I have to define both pie, cherry, and cherry pie? Or is that just up to you to go learn in on your own.
Yes, it's US (and maybe EU?) thing.

Interestingly the code on the page doesn't work. onmouseup and onpointerup are the wrong event for a button because the button should only send an "clicked" event if the user pressed DOWN on the button, then released while still on the button. The example code though will send an event even if the user started off the button.
I think that emphasizes the point though. You need more code to do it correctly.
It's surprising how relatively recent shirt buttons are. 1000s of years no one thought (or couldn't?) sew a hole and put button through it.
Resizing (scaling) isn't the point. It's re-layout that's the point.
Thanks but neither of those fit the criteria I was looking for. In particular the both the same style/energy of music and the explicit suggestive lyrics. Those recommendations fit the first, not the 2nd. And yes, I gave the LLM those criteria. Maybe one of them is better than another.
except for one: It was closed source.
Two, it was not responsive. It was written for fixed sizes with keyboards and mice. Not portrait displays with touch screens, nor AR/VR displays with pointers/hands, and for resolutions of the day, not reflowing / resizing to fit the user's device
I discovered lots of music back when Rhapsody was a thing (2003-2006). When a song was streaming it would show who the band was influenced by and who they influnced. Following those links would lead to more music I enjoyed.
The current stream services don't have that feature and their discovery algos are attrocious.
I haven't had much luck with LLMs. I can guess it works with famous artists but lots of other things work with famous artists. I asked it to find more tracks like "Hey Baby" (Deadmaus, Mellifresh) and they completely failed to even come close. I couldn't even get a similar vibe.
Yea, I think you have this one backward? it's lack of regulation that allows Mastercard and Visa to say "if you do try to use some other payment process you can't use us". Since MC and Visa own all of it, no business can take that hit to their customer base
Some other countries don't have this issue for various reasons.
Voxatron is a fantasy console and collection of games made entirely out of voxels (little colourful cubes, kind of). The Alpha version comes with an arena shooter and action-adventure cartridges as well as powerful design tools to make your own voxelly games.
What part of that is hard to understand?
For years, the software engineering industry has operated on a comfortable, perhaps lazy, myth: that open source software is an infinite, self-renewing public good that costs nothing to consume and requires nothing to sustain.
This is provably false and wish that sentiment would die
Microsoft spends at least $600-$800 million on open source The make VS Code, .NET/C#, Edge, TypeScript. They provide free hosting, free CIs, free issues, discussions, free webpages (github). Google spends similar amounts on Chromium, Angular, Go, Flutter, Gemma, etc...
Meta spends similar amounts on React, PyTorch, Presto, Llama
Amazon sends 200-300 million on valkey, OpenSearch, FireCracker, and has dedicated engineers for Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and Rust
Apple provide swift, WebKit, Clang/LLVM - there spending is also in the 100-200 million range.
That's on top of employees at almost all of those companies fixing bugs and providing patches for everything they use.
People make up the claims like the OP with zero actual evidence.
