When I started in webdev around a decade ago I remember having to work around all sorts of annoying cross-browser inconsistencies (floats, margins, box-sizing, etc). I haven't kept up with all the latest updates (need to brush up on grid layout) but I feel like I rarely if ever find myself in those situations anymore.

Not a CSS guru but I'm pretty sure that's because display: block (the original document layout strategy?) grows vertically, so it doesn't really make sense to have an auto value for top/bottom. And I believe margin:auto only applies when there is a width constraint in the element.

I'd say it's largely due to the coming of age during the Internet era where there is much more visibility into the thoughts and inner workings of our political leaders and public institutions.

Plus some notable milestones:

2001 Patriot Act - very unpatriotic and anti-american

2008 mortgage crisis - huge bailouts for large corps, nothing for regular joes

2016 election of Trump - reality TV president, collapse of "norms"

2020+ covid response - unprepared and poorly handled, contradictions and backpedaling abound

Probably lots more I'm omitting but it's much harder to make the case we're #1 these days without adding caveats and qualifiers.

+1 for Rick Beato, great content. Elizabeth Zharoff over at The Charismatic Voice is another lovely YT music personality.

Idk if I'm special but I only saw the adblocker warning twice 2-3 weeks ago and haven't seen it since. My adblocker (ublock origin iirc) is working fine and I still haven't seen any ads yet. I did subscribe to premium once around a year ago but only briefly.

"Just because you can doesn't mean you should!"

The only ones that I know of which do so are Planarians [0]

American here, it has vastly eroded in the past two decades among the younger generations.

One of the best deck-builder games I've ever played and fortunately also the first. Case study in building a fun and engaging game.

I need a double-shot of copium, stat!

Right, the passage of time is affected by how deep in a gravity well you are (i.e. how much acceleration you are experiencing). Time passes faster for satellites than for ground stations.

Yeah, I have to look away for shots and hate having blood drawn but if I get a nasty scrape with blood gushing out - meh, no problems at all looking and poking.

Huh? Not sure if I'm misunderstanding but I'm on Arch and I've been running my 6750XT with SD since like February. Got SDXL running a few months ago and have played with oobabooga a bit. Also compiled whisper.cpp with HIPblas the other day.

I also play a few dozen hours of games a month, some new, some old, some AAA, some indie. All through Steam's Proton with no driver issues whatsoever.

This is the way. Just dive in and start with something.

I remember buying a few BTC at around the $20 mark, think I sold around $100. Seemed like a nerd's fever dream at that time :) I even got my CPU mining in a pool back before the GPU kernels were around and the ASICs came out. Crazy times!

Looking forward to your launch, I found cushystudio awhile back (maybe from HN?) and cannibalized some of the type generation code to make my own API wrapper for personal uses. Thanks!

I barely got it working in that early alpha but it was super helpful for me as a reference. I'll give it another go now that it's further along, it seemed very promising and I liked your workflow approach

Why not just use a random ID and pull from DB instead of shuffling around a json payload? Really trying to avoid that DB hit? Just pay the price imo

+1 for prettier, I plop the same minimal config in every project and off I go.

I just setup vanilla llama.cpp this past weekend - good place to start as an intro IMO

Unavoidable tradeoff? Fundamental tension between modularity and efficiency.

Chew on this!!

Awaiting orders.

Affirmative!

What a gem.

I have video of when the eye of hurricane Sally passed over my house a few years back. Pretty surreal experience during and after.

Very apt analogy, stealing this :)

This is from 2015, does it still hold true in 2023?

That's fair, and it's also exactly one of the issues discussed in this thread. Namely, that refuting "misinformation" is an order of magnitude harder than spreading it.

I can tell we have deep disagreements, and it would take entirely too much time and effort to try and convince you otherwise (which is probably unachievable in this sort of forum anyways).

I'll just say that I disagree with the framing of your points around school curriculum and Florida censorship. The framing is the most uncharitable interpretation of what's actually going on, which is why I referred to your "less factual versions of reality".

Very true, IMO one of the reasons why the internet is so toxic is because humans aren't actually interacting directly with each other - we just fire off our thoughts into the ether from behind our screens.

I'd think we're not utilizing all of our social faculties we otherwise would in a face-to-face conversation. We don't see a human in front of us so our brains aren't "firing on all cylinders". E.g. being polite, assuming good-faith, tempering negative impulses and all of the other social lubricant that normally allows humans to peacefully coexist in a society.

Intent. Moderation and censorship are two sides of the same coin. The difference is in WHY you are taking that action.

I haven't seen anyone in this thread calling for 0 moderation on HN, that feels like a straw man

I've never advocated for a total lack of moderation though

Seems to me they're trying to refute it by asking OP their views for clarity.
