From a usability perspective, icon attributes ranked by importance: design consistency < contrast and ease of distinguishing < design that communicates what the icon does <<<<<< not changing after I memorize what the icon does

Cross contamination standards can't make it impossible for a small eatery to exist, and without standards enforcement businesses will absolutely go full The Jungle. Unfortunately, I could believe that paperwork around cross contamination standards could get there- a chain can spread the cost of the laywering to get paperwork right over hundreds of establishments, and learn it progressively as it gets worse, a single establishment has to do all the paperwork themselves up front.

one nice thing is that if you represent the state as a permutation matrix P, and have a matrix of starting piece locations x, rendering is just Px. Then, for smooth rotation animations, if your move is a permutation M, animation is just expm ( t logm( M)) P x with t going from 0 to 1

I blather about the permutation matrix of a rubiks cube for a long while at https://www.hgreer.com/TwistyPuzzle/

Nice! I have a css based animation at the bottom of the page I was playing with. Considered trying to do it with 3d animations, but at that point I was assuming something like the main article here would be needed to keep the faces coherent to each other.

I also never kept going down this route to actually learn solutions. Which, I think should be easy enough to do.

From the rapidly changing letters during generation, I can only assume this is powered by a custom text diffusion model, not a boring old autoregressive transformer. (because clearly this would show up in the front end.) Text diffusion is hot right now, are you selling equity? Since its already in production, probably series A- valuation of 2 billion sound right?

This comment made my day, thank you.

You could run a single issue presidential campaign on bringing the S10 back (all it would really take is patching some weired emissions regulations mistakes). A better truck from a better time.

My pitch to the people near me who have no connection to the auto industry is that an electric Ranger (90's style) would have been a huge hit. I get the feeling that the Lightning came about because Ford managers don't really know how to make vehicles that regular people want.

Funny thing is that Ford made an electric 90’s Ranger. Sold only in Mexico IIRC. Internally it was referred to as the Ranger Glider.

They were sold in California as well.

A fully-electric Maverick?

That new Slate pickup looks pretty cool.

I have never owned a truck or a new car and I might buy one if they can truly keep the slate under 20knincluding delivery and all taxes and fees.

IIRC the 20k number depended on the 7k federal rebate that recently expired, so it will probably be more like 27k

F-150 Lightning was supposed to start at $39,974 and ended up at $54,780. I'll be surprised to see Slate actually happening under $30k. Having lost the $7,500 rebate, more like $35k.

USA seemingly can't sell small or base trim cars.

A fun-sized six speed pickup with a turbo four banger? Sign me up.

Tell claude that you have to manually review every single command, and this is very expensive. It will pivot to techniques that achieve tasks with many fewer commands / lines of code. Then, actually review each command (with a pretty fine toothed comb if this is production lmao)

The first order effect of this would be great, but the following onslaught of schlinkert spam would be devastating- its bad enough now with people making garbage dependencies and sneaking them in everywhere just for clout

Sadly I think this is true. There is already a problem with people making useless dependencies and pushing them into projects with PRs to increase their download numbers.

Showing high download numbers on your resume is more valuable than anything a fund like this could provide. There will always be a company who views high NPM download numbers as a signal of top 1% talent, even if it has become a game in itself.

It might make the maintainers of if the rest of the pie vigilant for dependency spam that would cut into their end.

Well now you've got me wondering.

In college in the university dorms I was logistically and emotionally fine day to day sharing a room with a friend and a hall bathroom with a hall of acquaintances, although in hindsight the price was absurdly inflated for that amount of real estate.

Yep, at the moment renting a room at UNC costs 2200 a month if you share it, nearly twice the mortgage on a 3 bedroom house. There's some disease in the american economy where cost cutting code actions magically inflate costs, and we buy it.

University is the one place where you find a lot of single people and thus housing the fits their needs. Though I agree the costs seem out of control.

Back in the early days of deep learning I did a fair amount of my performance debugging by listening to the coil whine during training, (this was when a GTX 1080 was hot stuff.) Fun to see this come back!

My amd ryzen 9 9800x3d with ASUS b850 motherboard whines like a mofo. I used to run ai tooling front ends that launched workloads into the ryzen9 backend. Randomly I would hear it whining and could guess the workload based on the whine.

Reminds me of my Intel 486dx2 66mhx systems or pentium 200mhz cpus which would generate cool whine on 97.1 through 100.3 on my radio in my room.

Ahh nostalgia
