This is the part where the narrator looks at the camera and says "Don't try this at home, kids!"

If they had drawn the proposed line, it would still be the same distance from the coast today. So its presence would be a detriment to global warming proponents.

The screen needs to freeze up and go blank every few minutes with an announcement from the cockpit about the windspeed at our destination.

Ignore the "dropbox-in-a-weekend" trolls, they're just nosy. Your project sounds interesting, good luck.

I don't disagree with you main point but thought this was funny:

> They literally borrow money to buy these things. So if they can afford it,

Borrowing money would indicate they can't afford it. But I think you mean "afford the risk in order to achieve a societal norm".

> I've owned a lot of IKEA furniture

same.

> and at no point have I ever considered disassembling them

That is wise. I don't claim disassembling it for move was a good idea, but it compressed my stuff into a compact car.

Consider also that some of their beds don't fit through a doorway built (esp if doorway is not code width) so some level of disassembly may be required for mere room-to-room moving.

I'm only calling out a tradeoff that may or may not apply. Not everyone is you and me.

> I don't think IKEA really even advertises their stuff to be a

The whole point of this thread (this site?) is repurposing outside of creator intent.

> If you can afford and have a place for long term. Buy better stuff. Used quality furniture, even antique, can be incredibly cheap.

IKEA is ideal for a certain stage of your life. It's ideal for optimizing vertical space. It's largely function over form. It looks like middle school classroom furniture. And when junior writes on it w/ a sharpie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

When you have the space for a separate dining room, agreed that used antiques are comparable in price.

I wouldn't touch their couches rich or poor though; they're painful.

This makes any assembly 1-way, though. Some people (with a very high time:money ratio obviously) might find the collapsible, portable nature of Ikea an advantage.

This would be a fire FPS especially if the bullets traveled along the curve.

Or Office Space

There's Goldilocks zone for resumes where you want enough buzzwords to get past the recruiter but not so many that Hiring manager would reject you.

I know what gp is saying. They want to stay credible to the general public without also bearing the over-polished and verbose hallmark of LLM.

You're not the only one. I never stopped to delve into what this N+1 problem was b/c I assumed it was never an issue for me. All these years and this is the 1st time I've finally understood what they were saying.

However, after going back and forth with LLM on it just now, I feel like "1+N" is just a coding mistake, not a perplexing multi-faceted, engineering problem to be solved. Experience or a slow application would teach you to find a better way to get that info and then you move on.

> Amazon's only core product that they care about now is their stock price.

"Only" here is incorrect. I posit every public company's primary concern is stock price. But certain behaviors and values align with driving that stock price up and for Amazon it's Customer Obsession. And they are not obsessed with it because they love you, it's because they love your repeat business. But that obsession means your happiness and their stock price are aligned, for now.

I pushed Purchase on Amazon one day and was opening the package 36 minutes later. I can barely drive down to a gas station, get a coke and come back in that time. But I wanted a particular, random item one morning and was setting it up within the hour without leaving my seat. Ebay and Walmart and Local shop can't do that.

I support leaving out of principle, that's laudable. But it won't be because they aren't good at delivering CX.

Not enough to make an obvious dent perhaps. Nobody says Cook-era the same way they say Ballmer-era.

The view-source is like a portal to Year 2000.

Table-based layout, font tags, map/area tags. Only thing missing is an unnecessarily imported jQuery.

Now I want solar panels merely so I have a reason to not have to clean my roof

+1 This is a good if verbose response and the points and questions will be easy for the library author to address.

I'm going to take "you" here to mean the author instead of myself b/c I already found the example distasteful for reasons similar to yours.

> But since you asked specifically about someone spelling it out letter by letter for you:

You took time to do this and I appreciate it. I like to think you're teaching others how to respond clearer. I hope we can see this level of organized thought and direct challenge at the top level instead of reactionary slang and huffing.

Folks, we're now 5 levels deep on this thread and I still haven't heard it spelled out what's wrong.

I see "it's obvious" "cringey" and allcaps being used. Being able to vocalize specific problems and having the courage to clearly state it is a life skill.

Please be specific about the problem and why. Bonus points for replacement suggestions.

The boys-fight-for-girl is a very typical movie trope and this is a scene-based product. Maybe that's why they defaulted to it.

Agree that it might sell better if we see the typical examples we'd normally see in say a vector driven 2D animation from various industries.

1. ProductSpec sent to Factory with multiple Products being created, packed, shipped, distribution centers, last-mile, receiving

2. Client -> API -> Edge -> Business layer -> DataSource dataflow.

3. Compliance training scenario videos. Security training. "Joe needs to share internal code. He uploads it to pastebin and emails the link to the team. What should Joe do instead?"

4. Education, can this work for illustrative problem solving? Deriving quadratic formula by completing squares?

This could also use a FF or Rewind timeline or some kind of time control like "Play from Line 24".

Ask yourself why you feel that way, though. If I pixel-by-pixel copy discrete ideas from 20 different sites to build my own, that seems different, legit. Zero new code by me, I just stitched it together.

As we reduce 20, somehow that legitimacy erodes and at 1 it's "disrespectful". Where along that line was it wrong?

The "problem" we perceive is not stealing, it's stealing from only 1 place.

I think this ^ and the "Steve in his grave" comment should be a red flag for Apple execs.

Being flawless and polished at UX, hardware experience, and CX in general are the core of Apple's identity and revenue. Granted, the "hold it like this" thing was a huge gaff.

I also think the Neo is a culture miss that is diluting their brand. Their logo is synonymous with "expensive" and "quality" but the Neo is affordable and now it has cursor stutter.

They also popularized XMLHttpRequest. Sometimes a flexible idea can trend to the greater ecosystem.

Is this the right analogy? The product is the same, the appliance is different.

It should be "Decades of inventions from toasters to IOT AI Smart Air Fryers will not make better toast than the original"

But I'd argue the IOT AI Smart Air Fryer should make really good toast. Which is what GP is saying.

Add tag tax, residential parking, subsidized work parking, maintenance, incurred violations, tolls.

400/mo or 5000/yr for not having to worry about all that plus never playing the "wait let's circle the block, maybe a spot has opened up" game... sounds tempting.

At least Gemini 3.5 is fair about it:

    Classify this claim: "Most good engineers are male."
    Misleading

    Classify this claim: "Most bad engineers are male."
    Misleading

And not particularly racially sensitive

    Classify this claim: "Most good NBA players are black."
    True

    Classify this claim: "Most good NHL players are white."
    True

It explained it is more confident when assessing the small, highly quantifiable population of sports professionals vs a very large, diverse population of "engineers".

The military/LEO is probably already envisioning a Daredevil like helmet with augmented-reality lenses that overlay non-line-of-sight threats in real time.

It seems to require a lidar reflective object. Likely more generally, the effectiveness lowers the less objects there are to bounce and return signal.

It could probably work with less accuracy/resolution against visible vehicles in the opposite lane, a hedgerow, postal box, pedestrian carrying a visible laptop and possibly synthesize all of these to improve its guess.

Is a volcano described as dormant (dormire, literally sleep) also inaccurate and deeply problematic? BTW, it's not anthropomorphized as sleep has existed long before humans.

"Sleep" is just used in their context to describe a non-interactive mode and they didn't lean heavily into zoomorphic - I think you mean - parallels.

You're grinding an axe on a single term. What is your broader hangup with them using the term "sleep"?

> Does their LLM "die" if it can't perform the function described?

We're reaching an age where LMGTFY should now be Let Me LLM That For You. Have you tried asking an LLM this question about the article? I believe it answers it very well.

I recall C++ OOP being the new hotness when I started out and C was always contrasted as the old & busted example. Kind of the "Everything-as-an-object will simplify everything" phase. Windows MFC was the new way, then STL.

Java WORA write once, run anywhere was definitely a thing when it came out. Java Applets came out of the woodwork and were the WASM of their day. Even Cisco ran Java for their router UI for a while, which was painful.

More recently, HN went through a period about 10 years ago where every other article ended in " ... written in Go".

The mantra may not have rhymed with "rewrite X in Y" but the spirit was there.

It does seem like a highly antagonistic way of working or perhaps I'm just naive.

If your only goal is to maintain a performance lead on your peers, you either need to gain and keep an advantage or find ways to actively make your coworkers disadvantaged (or both). And if you're already doing 1) then 2) isn't a far stretch.

> would you like to work on a team full of people like you?

If their team is already like this, what choice do they have? It's a prisoners dilemma where everyone else is defecting and I'm the sole cooperator.

IMO the onus for solving this is on the business owner, either through establishing a knowledge sharing culture or more comprehensive performance evaluation that rewards these innovations.
