From the look of your gif, it looks like you're just barely scrolling back up for a few pixels between scrolls and the navbar seems to pop up immediately after. Scrolling up gets it to pop out for me, but I need to scroll up a lot more

Slightly harder to remember, but you can also press Alt+0150 for an en dash or Alt+0151 for an em dash. Works on any machine without any third-party software or configuration!

I suspect a nonzero amount of hate online is coming from iOS users, who've always seemed to prefer non-customizable, "curated" designs (e.g. historically being anti-widgets, anti-folders, anti-theming, etc) and not from actua

A few years ago I also worked on a few passive bots that'd try to find at-risk or self-harming people on reddit/twitter that might be in need of therapy or someone/something to talk to. It was too much emotional work to work

Yeah, I grew up in the Midwest and even there it's super common to respond to X with a personal anecdote about X. I think it makes the conversation more personal. Anyone can say, "Oh cool! What songs have you learned?" Only _

I get similar vibes to demoing VR the first time. My first thought was, "My tech-illiterate dad would have his mind _blown_ by this." Unfortunately, even an already-set-up VR experience was too strange/unnatural for him so he

Kudos to Google for actually tying a lot of separate-but-related products together in a way that actually makes sense, instead of just building an additional Docs+ or something. This actually looks really useful.

I built my own editor on top of the API, which I ran at home, yeah. You can see the code and/or run it yourself at https://github.com/indentlabs/gpt-3-writer , but it's very rough and not really ready for publ

The site loads fine for me, but the whole article is behind a paywall anyway. You might try https://outline.com/PYEgK3 which should fix both problems.

I use GPT-2/3 in creative writing to generate rough text that I then go back and edit/improve because it gives a good starting point (and often has a lot of high-quality factors). I don't know if this translates to technical

Without knowing what OP is referring to, my guess is they're talking about a clamp down on cryptocurrency.

Can you explain what you mean by "the privacy problem"?

Maybe I'm under the misunderstanding that "no politics" doesn't also apply to e.g. reporting inappropriate workplace actions to HR. If you see a homophobic (or racist, or sexist, or inappropriate, etc) offense, you shoul

Wouldn't the ideal situation be firing someone for _acting_ as a homophobe (which a no-politics rule encourages), rather than _being_ a homophobe (or having any other undesirable trait)?

Compared to Twitter, anything else is a shining light of social media. Instagram may be nothing but vapid voyeurism, but the posts there are generally (fake) messages of "I am enjoying my life, look at it!" My stream's a bunc

Without any insider information, it seems equally as likely that they just better clarified what they originally meant versus backtracking in response to backlash. "Reminding people not to talk about politics and then moving on" d

At an individual level, that's often true. An employer might, for example, negotiate a gym membership or online classes for their employees at 70% of the normal price. If you take advantage of those benefits, you're basically gett

Part of this post's change is that Basecamp (as a company) is pulling back on publicizing political stances that aren't directly related to their business. From the follow-up post @ https://world.hey.com/dhh/b

This seems like something you would want to bring up with your boss / HR / higher-ups, instead of starting an open discussion/debate with the whole company, right?

According to the guy in the video (September 2020) the seat sensor exists but doesn't interact with autopilot. The steps he had to take to turn it on and actually exit the vehicle without it turning off automatically was pretty comical

Obviously a biased source, but Tesla's Q1 safety report[1] (released yesterday) reports this: >In the 1st quarter, we registered one accident for every 4.19 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driv

I'd guess the majority of people don't hold a strong opinion on them one way or the other, and being default-on for more people results in more data that can be used to make ads more relevant for everyone, instead of just relying
