I could only find an article claiming 4% drink 6+ cups per day so a top 1st percentile coffee drinker must go much further beyond that. I'm guessing at least 2 litres per day.

What's the idea behind not using capital letters?


Gen Z will often write like that, feeling that using capitalisation feels too "formal" for non-professional communication.

It's feel just the next evolution in our written messaging dialect. Gen X had c u l8r?. Millennials didn't have to pay per character, and got full qwerty keyboards so opted for normal sentences. And now Gen Z have decided that auto-capitalisation is unnecessary.


I also wondered if Jack Dorsey's shift button was broken in his firing tweet: https://xcancel.com/jack/status/2027129697092731343


I can't speak for the OPs case, but it's worth keeping in mind that not all languages that people are coming from have capital letters as a concept.

I actually didn't notice the lack of caps until I read this comment


I found it pretty hard to read without the caps. I guess the punctuation mark is too small for my elderly eyes, and my brain sees it like one gigantic sentence. Perhaps the author of the blog is a fan of Kafka?


Ctrl + “+” in your browser :]

I also didn’t notice the lack of caps until coming to the comments.

…and I’m a pedantic SOB!


The author is trying very hard to look like they are not trying at all.


or learned English chatting on the Internet?

At least make it sound like you’re speculating if you’re going to.


Presumably a shibboleth for human-generated content


Gen Z illiteracy crisis.


Let's not turn HN into a bunch of crotchety old men complaining about the youths.


Any particular reason you didn't write a complete sentence but still used a period, kid?


That's a pretty long blog post for someone who's illiterate


I'd take all lowercase over all uppercase anyday


Mine started shipping on 8 March to arrive on the 11 March release date.

it works fine even without DeepThink to sovle reasoning problems

Thanks


It created a whole webpage to showcase the SVG with animation for me: https://output.jsbin.com/qeyubehate


Third party providers are still cheap though. The closed models are the ones where you can't see the real cost to running them.


Oh, I was mostly talking about the Chinese taxpayer footing the training bill.

You are right that we can directly observe the cost of inference for open models.


Not sure the Chinese taxpayer is footing the bill though - of course, it might not be net zero, there might be secondary effects, etc.

A few days ago I read an article saying the Chinese utilities have a pricing structure that favors high-tech industries (say, an AI data center), making the difference by charging more the energy-intensive but less sophisticated industries (an aluminium smelter, for example).

Admittedly, there are some advantages when you do central and long-term economic planning.


Mac hasn't used subpixel rendering for fonts since Mojave and has never used it on iOS so there's no difference to font rendering on Apple platforms.


For internal use like that you can also use the library feature. The downside of using long=31 is increased memory usage, which might not be desirable for customer facing applications like Steam.


This seems ideal. The only question I had was whether it's permanent on living cells, "Potentially reversible" at the end makes me think it is.


There’s a current product that does simple mechanical remodeling: sleep with this chunky contact lens in and the next morning you see better. But it wears off in ten hours or less.


Night lenses! Yeah they're pretty crazy (I'm in the process of getting them and a friend of mine has them). 10 hours is low though - they're supposed to easily make your vision last all day, even two. My friend says he only really stops seeing well after 3 nights of not wearing them.


It depends on your prescription.

I tried them and they were awful for me. Didn't last the full day, caused terrible halos while driving (and that was BEFORE 90% of cars drove with LED high beams), were generally too uncomfortable.


Same results for me. Absolutely awful, vision consistently began failing by becoming noticeably blurry about 8 to 9 hours after taking night lenses out, and I couldn't drive at night because of headlight and streetlight halos even after "topping off" with those uncomfortable lenses during the day. As an enthusiastic night sky observer, trying to use those lenses was depressing.

I gave up after extended tries with three different lenses (I think it was six to nine months total), with my highly experienced doctor consulting with different manufacturers and researchers from around the country. Turns out my pupils naturally open up too wide, made worse by corneas that apparently are not thick enough to retain the reshaping all day. These issues, incidentally, make me ineligible for the popular cut-n-burn style of eye surgery.

On the bright side, it was indeed completely reversible and I've suffered no effects of any kind after about two days of non-use. That was a bit over a decade ago.
