Welcoming people in typical HN style

The definition of Display fonts is quite loose. Generally speaking, display fonts are made to grab attention by incorporating some more extravagant visual features (think something like Papyrus)They are made for shorter texts that are often written in a bigger font. Again I talk about this in a very general way because it depends on the font and other factors. But usually this includes things like headings. So they would use slightly different proportions that wouldn't work that well at small si

Display versions of typefaces are generally used for headings or larger type.Text versions are used for longer text, and are usually optimised for smaller type sizes and readability.

did you remember to push your glasses up your nose bridge before writing your comment

Claude always makes sites look this way.

You're absolutely right! Let me go ahead and fix that now...(the sound of credits disappearing...) /s

Sometimes I think my opinion means nothing on these topics, especially when it's going to get buried in a thread of 500 plus comments. But I think you finally see a little bit of a flaw in the strategy or just a little bit of insight into what was desperation for relevance and to try to very quickly attain what other companies have attained but essentially what they're seeing is this gradual reduction in ambition and it's only natural for a lot of companies to overreach, but essentially reality

You're absolutely right. That's not just a genius idea; it's a radical new paradigm.

This is a great development for KV cache compression. I did notice a missing citation in the related works regarding the core mathematical mechanism, though. The foundational technique of applying a geometric rotation prior to extreme quantization, specifically for managing the high-dimensional geometry and enabling proper bias correction, was introduced in our NeurIPS 2021 paper, "DRIVE" (https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2021/hash/0397758f8990c...). We used this exact rotational approach an

Huh. This seems selectively simplified. At least according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Professional_Air_Traffic_....Multiple economic write ups have concluded that Reagan’s “stick it to the upstart guy” cost us tax payers way more than it would if they’d just acceded and maybe even thrown in a gracious bonus to say thanks.Larger sociology say the intangible cost to labor balance laws actually were much more.Reagan’s trickle down (great euphemism for “piss on”) movement was the beginnin

What's impressive is that if you look at the issues PATCO struck over, it was basically identical to the problems ATC faces today. The problem being that everything has only gotten a lot worse for ATC controllers.The union pretty loudly and early on pointed out major problems with that job and the response of ignoring them for 4 decades is what's driven us to the current situation.

Reagan fired a bunch, and then (naturally) hired a bunch to replace them. ATC work, generally speaking, for twenty years (that's when their pension vests), so twenty years after the strike there was a "cliff", with a larger than usual number of ATC retirements. As I understand it, that was anticipated at the turn of the millennium, and hiring + training ramped up to compensate, without much disruption. The next "cliff", twenty years after that (ie, that millennium tranche retiring), coincided wi

Yes, exactly.It's hard to argue you're underpaid if, as a result of short staffing, you're getting paid more (both in absolute terms and per unit of effort) than you signed up for.

Worker protections are good, actually.

> Again he still signed it.It was gonna be law either way; signing it removed a political weapon from the folks pushing its passage. Arguing this is something Clinton did to gay people is counterfactual.

If what you do with a copyrighted work is covered by fair use it doesn't matter what the license says - you can do it anyway. The GFDL imposes restrictions on distribution, not copying, so merely downloading a copy imposes no obligation on you and so isn't a copyright infringement either.I used to be on the FSF board of directors. I have provided legal testimony regarding copyleft licenses. I am excruciatingly aware of the difference between a copyleft license and the public domain.

For a short time I was a part of a small site that banned politics.It was fine, people talked about work, personal stuff, travel, until one person posted about their disappointment that their state was limiting various services or rights to gay people. For them this meant their rights were in question and they were understandably upset.Immediately some folks cried politics and that they shouldn’t post about that sort of thing.To the user posting it it was about their life…I don’t think “no poli

I am solidly in this "curious" camp. I've read HN for the past 15(?) years. I dropped out of CS and got an art agree instead. My career is elsewhere, but along the way, understanding systems was a hobby.I always kind of wanted to stop everything else and learn "real engineering," but I didn't. Instead, I just read hundreds (thousands?) of arcane articles about enterprise software architecture, programming language design, compiler optimization, and open source politics in my free time.There are

I used to work at Anthropic, and I wrote a comment on a thread earlier this week about Anthropic's first response and the RSP update [1][2].I think many people on HN have a cynical reaction to Anthropic's actions due to of their own lived experiences with tech companies. Sometimes, that holds: my part of the company looked like Meta or Stripe, and it's hard not to regress to the mean as you scale. But not every pattern repeats, and the Anthropic of today is still driven by people who will risk l
