When Office 2007 was released, they made a lot of noise about how the ribbon was easy to use. One of the key functionality was Preview - that when the mouse cursor moves inside a button, the change is immediately applied to the content and when the cursor moves outside a button, the change was undone.

They never bothered to implement this Preview functionality on the Web version of office, and I bet only a few ever noticed this inconsistency.

> It made functions easier to find

I actually find it difficult to scan for a specific function since the most of the text in the ribbon is centered and may have multiple lines. With the current design, I am expected to look up top to check what tab I am on, then look down bottom to find the container that might have my desired functionality, and then finally scan the middle text (which may be one or two lines) for the button.

I am amazed at how UI design continuously come up with new reasons for additional margins and paddings. What used to be mere navigational links that were stacked vertically now have white space around the label, icons in front of the label, pill shape container around the clickable area, extra space between each link to give the container space to breath and a place to show the shadow effect.

That will then create incentives for companies that consume AI tokens to counter lobby against those regulations.

I was quite surprised that this phrase, which papers over nuances in how operating systems classify and manage memory, was posted by someone who studied CS.

The HN crowd understands that, depending on bottleneck, adding a fifth network connection (lane) between 2 nodes may not necessary decrease the latency (travel time).

Is Delta using older Wifi equipment? I was under the impression that the current Wifi standard now prevents deauth attacks.

I have always felt that the button in the last couple version of Windows was a bit off. This page confirms it: Old school buttons used to stay in a "selected" state after being pressed, but that was not implemented in Windows 8's new UI.

There is no coherent reasoning here for banning open weights. The billion of dollars to train a model was supposed to be a moat so they can sell tokens. AI labs can't make money by capturing values from intelligence if any company could get the weights to build their own AI token factory.

If a person were to receive data from someone subjected to such restriction, is the receiver bounded by the same restriction?

Honest question: what is the ultimate end game if at some point a court in another country orders a domain be reinstated? Do we end up with a domain registration system per country?

Constraints include needing to keep component cost low and ensuring that they could sell more hardware in 2 years.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I recall they did give a full refund when they shut down the ebook platform.

Recall that real interest rate = interest rate - expected inflation. The goal of the central banker is to keep real interest rate low. If you have negative expected inflation, that sets a lower bound on the real interest rate since interest rate could only go as low as zero. This gives less flexibility for monetary policy to handle crisis and that scares the central bankers.

> rebalancing of people’s portfolios values It's not just portfolio value. It's well accepted in the economics that wealth impact's people spending (see wealth effect and its cousin negative wealth effect)

In computer science, we have classes on memorizing/implementing various algorithms so that we may understand their behavior. Could anyone name the reason why grade school students memorize and execute the long division algorithm? I certainly hadn't used long division since grade school.

> 8. How will age verification work? We know that having a range of methods to prove age is important to ensure online spaces are accessible.

> Ofcom will set out in the coming months different options for effective forms of age assurance for proving whether someone is over 16 that are accurate, robust, reliable, and fair.

The fact sheet doesn't actually specify how age verification will be done so it the title is bit speculative. However, it's concerning that there's nothing in description about preserving privacy.

Or alternatively, it is plain and obvious that Anthropic is using ethics to justify business decisions.

The Pi SBCs are squeezed in between the SFFs and the microcontrollers for many use cases. It's only a good fit if there is a need for the GPIOs/Linux/Display. For anything else, there are better products out there.

Raspberry Pi isn't in direct competition with N150's.

Their niche is the industrial/embedded space. For that market, power consumption doesn't matter. What matters is that each model is guaranteed to be available till a specific date.

It is rather hard to lose of habit of using search engine with keywords given the change took place without much fanfare. I have no problem using sentences with the current ai tools through.

Does anyone know why the 3DMMForever project stalled? Was technical or was it just a general lack of interest?

At my school, I purchased my cap but rented the gown. The cap is in a box never to be looked at again. I can't imagine what I would do with the gown.

There is a lot of information, in various forms, on the internet that are specifically designed to misinform those who hadn’t taken a course on that particular topic, but leaves the reader feeling they learnt something. Right now LLM’s are good at picking those apart for the reader if they decide to dig deeper, however, I fear this era might not last.

> EAT-Lancet healthy reference diet

I am unable to find this diet. It's likely referring to something called Planetary Health Diet [0]

I am quite surprised that Google hasn't done this in the name of security, as email, one of the few channel that brands do not have to pay any middleman, is a competitor to search ads.

Sure, but those same professional certifications and development hours also allow them to not need to re-prove their basic competency when interviewing.
