We are seeing all the other outcomes and branches too, we just aren't aware of it since those are separate universes.

What is the point of such a theory besides trying to relieve us from the uncomfortable idea of many worlds? It is no better at explaining our perceived world than the simpler theory that consciousness exists across all these states and we a

Looks pretty readable to me. 4 explicit columns, the first is width auto, second 40px, third takes up any remaining space, 4th is 80px. How would this be any more readable with tags or table setup? Especially if you want to have additional

It really depends on what colors you are using in the gradient. In some cases LCH or others looks a lot better than RGB or HSL: https://res.cloudinary.com/indysigner/image/fetch/f_auto,q_8...

I fall into the same trap. We want Visible to be somewhere you create pages that are genuinely useful, not just info dumps. Millions of young people now use Notion to organize their lives, but as you can see from their marketing page it is

I totally understand and sympathize with that feeling which is not uncommon here on Hacker News, but when I speak to the average internet user they do care about privacy, they just don't have the same anxiety over cloud services. We ar

Definitely targeting a different core user, although I think the simplicity and power that we will provide out-of-the-box may eventually sway some users caught in Obsidian/Roam land to try the Visible way. Thank you for signing up for

My issue is that it feels like none of these tools do anything significantly new, and are all so obsessed with wonky features like node-graph views and backlinks that are only useful to a niche audience of obsessive note-takers who in many

Good point about realtime or not, however with ML I have found the weaknesses get addressed pretty fast by someone. There is a big step between proof of concept and practical application though, so we shall see.

I agree they have the best compared to Apple, Amazon, Microsoft. However I don't think it is as good as what is being shown here by OpenAI.

I wouldn't. A huge amount of interactivity can be done in pure CSS, and often design work is exploratory or experimental and doesn't need to output a fully functional component, it just needs the functionality CSS and HTML provide

It's not just limited, it is fairly misleading. I had to actively tell my devs to ignore the Inspect panel because it was giving them pixel values when we use rems, or they would hardcode colors that should have been design system toke

But CSS would still get you better prototypes that imitate native designs than anything Figma can provide. All the top requested features for Figma are CSS-like features even coming from designers who don't know CSS. CSS has solved man

How is it Apple, Google, or Microsoft are not further ahead of the game on speech recognition like this? They have the resources to hire the best ML researchers and throw tons of computing hours at it, yet Siri, Google, and Cortana continue

Figma will never be good at dev handoff because it isn't built on HTML/CSS rendering, so its code output is awful. No plugin or interpretation layer can fix this. CSS is the language of design, yet for some reason every design too

Thanks to scroll wheels and trackpads I don't need to awkwardly click and drag a scrollbar, and 99% of the time where I am in the scroll is irrelevant to me, so I very much prefer the disappearing scrollbar and the fact that the only p

It's all real, but you would not be able to see it with your bare eyes even if you were relatively close to the nebula. The world around us would look very different if our eyes could perceive more of the infrared and ultraviolet spect

I believe they meant they want something that searches only content the user has personally directly accessed, not ALL local content.

Working on a project in a similar space and the vast majority of people I have spoken to have said they don't care if it is in the cloud and find managing files on their devices to be a huge hassle. I think the Hacker News audience is

We have to add custom classes and styles to SVG files in our products which requires hand coding. There is no design tool out there that won't completely destroy any hand-coded SVG styles or even attempt to work with them. I make a rou

That was a Malcolm Gladwell theory that has been debunked, particularly here: http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2013/07/culturalism-gladwell-... In general I tend to question much of Gladwell's ideas these days

Hate to tell you this, but this is not a good article on the subject. It was as performative as the mask wearing it complains about, and is oddly disconnected from reality considering how many deaths of people the author's age have hap

It's complex for a reason. Go try some other layout tools and you suddenly realize that half the things you can do in CSS are impossible when limited to just columns and rows. Certainly there are odd parts to CSS that are due to it ori

Aerosols are far harder to control and to predict harmful secondary/tertiary effects than simply reducing amount of sunlight in a particular area.
