> There is only a limited number of mods you can play with
My Minecraft server has 300+ mods. I've subscribed to nearly that many Rimworld mods. 50 is the lowest number of mods for a game of mine I can quickly find.
I have a “mild” tinnitus that I only hear in complete silence.
Last time I went to a party, I pulled out an AirPods when we were (practically) standing in front of the speakers. Still remember puzzled and “not cool, dude” looks, lol. I’m not taking chances with this tinnitus crap after what I read online.
I supported a mid size WISP for 2 years and something like 60% of the issues they sent my way were ultimately resolved with MSS Adjust or MTU clamping.
The BitCoin/Gold ratio has held steady (with the normal noise) since the election last year. It's the Global Reserve currency Status of the dollar that's in question now.
Material guidelines typically allow for considering "density" and "shape" depending on the device. They don't need to be wasting space, if you don't need touch targets.
“How many US adults score at literacy level 4 or higher? About 12%, or 1 in 8.”
to
“…we know for a certainty that the vast majority of [incoming college freshmen] are below level 4 in literacy. College kids are functionally illiterate. QED.”
“US adults” and “kids going off to college” are… not the same sample.
If this is the foundation of the author’s argument, then the rest of the article is questionable at best.
we expect responses and realtime to be our 2 core api primitives long term — responses for turn by turn interactions and realtime for models requiring low latency bidirectional streams to/from the apps/models.
Can we achieve it within a practical timeframe of human civilization of, say, 10 thousand years? Or within a single lifetime (some who've worked on it early are now dead, fwiw).
Stocks are obviously a pretty bad example for your claim, because they are a clear counterpoint (in formal logic, which you appealed to, that's enough to call it a proof that trendlines do not ensure any future outcome).
And feedback loop? LLMs have gotten where they are by simply providing current state of the art at no cost to millions of people, to ensure that investment feedback loop by losing gobs of money yet keep investing. We've seen that with VC-funded companies previously too.
I hope you support really really progressive tax structures because pretty much all human history shows that when humans aren’t needed those with money/power do not provide for them enjoy life.
I mean, people died to get two days off a week and only work eight hours in the US. That isn’t guaranteed for a wide swath of the world population. And the idea of working only four days a week is crazy radical talk.
Yes, sounds in line with the ideology of the past decade. I can't wait for the moment when rationality and sense will be valued again above being emotional.
I was very miserable when my chronic tinnitus showed up, but my life improved greatly after my doctor got me in the right cognitive behavioral therapy to learn to ignore it. After plenty of practice, it's now hard for me to hear it without actively listening for it, even though it is quite loud.
My advice to anyone struggling with tinnitus is to avoid silence for a while. Focus on anything but the tinnitus. Never give yourself the chance to focus on it. Buy bone conductor headphones and listen to ambient music instead of sitting in silence. Buy a white noise machine for when you go to bed, or run a fan. Then spend a few minutes every waking hour of your day actively listening to the sounds around you
Eventually you'll have trained yourself to listen to something else. As long as there's something else to listen to, even if it is very quiet, you'll default to listening to that instead of your tinnitus until it becomes something you do passively.
I might as well not have tinnitus anymore. I can't speak for everyone, especially not in regards to hypersensitivity to noise like the author here has, but I went from mourning the loss of my daily comfort to completely forgetting about the problem in a couple of months.
When Matias was in charge of Material, he said the purpose of design guidance isn't to raise the peaks but to fill the valleys. An expert can come up with something that's more appealing/usable than slinging the components together, but someone without that expertise should be able to make something pretty compelling by following the practices set out by people who had it.
At that point, people might be more productive if we stopped forcing them to get jobs in healthcare support occupations and let them do something more interesting with their time.
