I tried for you with google gemini:

I'm continuing to focus on visually confirming the specific illustration of the water-based machine with a video camera eye on a tripod of pontoons. My previous research has strongly pointed to

Edward L. Safford Jr.'s robotics books, 'The Complete Handbook of Robotics' (1978) and 'Handbook of Advanced Robotics' (1982), both published by TAB Books, as the most likely candidates for the remembered book. The descriptions of these books align well with the user's memory of complex, pen-and-ink robot illustrations.

Show HN: Chickoban – A Sokoban Clone
by aabiji | 2025-06-28 03:42:20+00:00
Over the past couple of weeks I've built Chickoban, a puzzle game inspired by Sokoban. You can play it on the web [here](https://aabiji.github.io/chickoban/) and find the code [here](https://github.com/aabiji/chickoban).

It's in 3d and uses raylib. I know the game itself not very good, but I was hoping that maybe some of you would be kind enough to offer feedback on the code. What parts of the design or good, what parts are problematic, etc.

In any case, maybe the game will be interesting. It's all open source. Have a nice day.

> There is also the damage done by the Supreme Court ending the Voting Rights Act

that is true, but

> Kamalah would have won by a landslide

im not so sure. after a great start she sudenly veered off and campaigned by appealing to disaffected republicans (eg. touring with liz cheney, militaristic posturing (in her words 'the most leathal') military etc) and ignoring/downplaying the gaza issue which affected voting trends [0] in the battleground states just enough to loose there... also the prolonged conflict in ukraine didn't help things with many voters either (eg. lie or not he said he'd end the wars immediately)

and aside from some bread-crumbs like paid leave, she was very silent in economic issues that affected many minorities...

her campaign was in la-la land [1]

> For example, instead of a power function that uses a loop, you could generate specialized code like x * x * x * x * x directly. This eliminates runtime overhead and creates highly optimized code.

Could anyone explain to me how this is different from templates or parameter pack expansion in C++? I can see the constexpr-ness here is encoded in the type system and appears more composable, but I am not sure if I am missing the point.

I looked at the paper but I can't find anything related to C++.

Yep, we agree on that.

> off-grid datacenters could be cost competitive in some regions, but the upfront costs don't make them worthwhile right now.

I still don't understand why the alternative to space based datacenters being proposed is off-grid datacenters.

Why not compare it to grid-connected datacenters with enough behind the meter generation and storage to avoid peak grid prices? After all the ultimate comparison metric is cost (and ideally C02 emissions)

The general spike in interest from 2021 onwards (the language has been around for a while so it's not like people just found out) is due to a large hangover from crypto folks who become jobless after the bust. Super savvy in general being online and evangelism. The safety stuff is overblown (small subset of applications primarily OS and browsers) and full rewrite is not possible or advisable.

I try to use web versions of everything (fb, insta, x). If it’s shitty enough I’ll use it less.

I.e. messenger.com is possible to use if you request desktop version, change font size and deal with all sort of zoom issues. Of course fb doesn’t support actual calls or notifications just because, so I don’t use it.

Instagram is even sneakier - you can’t post stories via mobile to “close friends”, post videos or view them from instant messages.

The VS Code plugin is, like, 90% of the developer experience of most devs. The fact that it's rock-solid in OCaml should automatically bump us up to at least a B grade. Meanwhile the dune build system is powerful and flexible, and compile times are actually blazing fast, unlike Rust's famous slow builds. So yeah, there are pros and cons on each side, I wouldn't say it's a clear win.

I'm not sure it's true that recent presidents have relied more on EOs---at least the numbers suggest that recent presidents have actually relied less on EOs than many of their predecessors (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1125024/us-presidents-ex...). Now, it may be the case that the scope of EOs has grown, so that they implement bigger policy initiatives. I'd be curious if anyone has done that analysis. It might also be that rising partisanship has led to more exaggerated reactions to EOs by the opposition, making it seem like a bigger problem than it actually is.

It’s in the quote:

> The Government has no incentive to file a petition here either, because the outcome of such an appeal would be preordained. The Government recognizes as much, which is why its emergency applications challenged only the scope of the preliminary injunctions

She’s saying the outcome is already known (ie they would lose) and the government knows they would lose, and the place they would have lost would have been right here (in front of me in the Supreme Court).

Howard Zinn wrote A People's History of the United States as a counter to the usual histories of the US that focus on presidents, statesmen, and robber barons of the Gilded Age. He covers things we mostly don't learn about in school, including the rise of the Labor movement, native Americans, slaves and post-Civil War freedman, and women.

If you're interested, look up @JasonGoodison on YouTube. He has some great side project ideas that will open you to a lot of different concepts. Particularly in his two "build these projects and I will hire you" videos.

Even if you don't participate in his contest of sorts and just some of them for yourself, it could be worthwhile for learning.

... and:

I've identified several prominent DIY electronics magazines from the early 1980s in the US. The most promising candidates, based on the user's description, are 'Popular Electronics' and 'Byte'. 'Popular Electronics' was a highly circulated magazine that even inspired the founding of Microsoft, and it transitioned into 'Computers & Electronics' in 1982. 'Byte' was a leading computer magazine that often featured electronics content and was known for its distinctive cover art by Robert Tinney. Other magazines like 'Radio Electronics Magazine', 'Nuts and Volts', 'Elektor Electronics Magazine', 'Practical Electronics', 'Circuit Cellar', 'Silicon Chip Magazine', and 'Hobby Electronics' were also noted, but 'Popular Electronics' and 'Byte' seem to be the strongest fits for the US context and time frame.

+1, it's definitely best option.

That said, we're building consumer-facing apps where long-term stability is critical. Our goal is to build once and run on any platform, across versions. Most consumers are already tied to existing platforms that provide services we can't easily replicate, which makes development of apps in a new OS or In a OS look like environment is a tough sell.

I must follow same technical mechanism as Java.

"Truth" isn't some objective data blob you can measure. Feels like you're talking about entropy and epistemology in some sense. Feels like you have no idea what you're talking about; you don't like what you see and want to change it. In another way, you're trying to grasp the concepts of incentives, social networks, and proof of signal...but again, you didn't define anything, so the idea is just noise. Keep reading and stay hungry.

I'll give my 2 cents as someone that picked up guitar playing about 10 years ago. I don't play flamenco but I'm familiar with some of the techniques.

I would suggest:

- Get a guitar that you think you will like picking up and playing. Whether it's electric, steel string acoustic, classical, or flamenco. Whatever rocks your boat and you like the sound. Have it somewhere where you can just grab it and play a little when you feel like it.

- Learn the basic open chord shapes and some simple songs. Don't worry about flamenco technique for starters.

- Once you have some very basic control of the instrument and you know a few shapes and forms (e.g. 3-6 months) you can pick up some easy tutorials of basic flamenco chord progressions and try those out. You don't need a ton of fancy chords or technique to get some flamenco like sounds out of your instrument.

- You will need to build what people call "facility". This is your ability to move your fingers quickly, put them in the right places, etc. this needs to happen with a combination of drilling and playing progressively harder pieces. I would still say you don't have to aim for super complicated flamenco techniques yet but you can learn something about spanish scales and chord progressions and start experimenting.

- Learning some simple fingerstyle songs/patterns will likely help if you do decide to specialize more in flamenco.

- A teacher will certainly help and may be necessary at some point. Probably a good idea to take some lessons early on just to get corrected on basic mistakes. Then you can go back to playing/practicing on your own and come back again when you feel you need more help.

- A book is really hard to learn from when you don't know anything. Videos are better. But you will need feedback from a person at some point.

- Record yourself playing. Challenge yourself to learn progressively harder pieces (in whatever style).

- Practice with a metronome to improve your sense of time.

- You will need to learn some theory, scales etc.

- You also need to develop your ear. Listen to music and try to figure out notes/chords etc. Sing a tune and try to play it by ear.

It's a journey but it's easy to get to a point where you can play some simple songs and have fun and build from there.

PlaDeo is a Korean startup product that uses reactive oxygen species (ROS) instead of aluminum or fragrances to eliminate odor. It recently launched on Indiegogo and is CE-certified. No chemicals, no residue—just a portable plasma-based solution. The technology was validated by a 2024 peer-reviewed study published in Nature's Scientific Reports.

It's a lot easier to reason about this using angular resolution, because that's normally what the diffraction limit formula is in reference to. If you know the angular diameter of the system (α) and the wavelength (say λ=500 nm for visible), you can use α ≈ λ/d and solve for the aperture of the telescope (d).

That puts a basic limit on the smallest thing you can resolve with a given aperture. You can use the angular diameter of the planet and the resolution you're after. For Alpha Centauri A it's 8.5 milli arc-second, so O(1 μas) for a 100px image? That's just for the star!

The Event Horizon Telescope can achieve around 20-25 μas in microwave; you need a planet-scale interferometer to do that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Horizon_Telescope It's possible to do radio measurements in sync with good clocks and fast sampling/storage, much harder with visible.

I'm not super up to date on visible approaches, but there is LISA which will be a large scale interferometer in space. The technology for synchronising the satellites is similar to what you'd need for this in the optical.

Time! Time is the lever which a small group has used to make these changes.

It’s been ~40 years of Talk Radio in America and ~30 years of TV, which has sold entertainment as news and fine tuned the ability to have a captive voting bloc.

Producing accurate content is laborious, narratives are cheap. Facts are essentially luxury goods, and the left+center is selling them as public goods. This can never work, it takes too much to pay for and maintain the institutions which make this possible.

The right is on the other hand, being organized and “flooding the zone”, in an unending effort to reduce faith in institutions. On top of it, information from the center and left doesn’t get consumed on the right.

This took decades to set up. Today Trump’s approval ratings are down overall, but Republican support for Trump remains at its March number - 88%.

Edit: If I could introduce another metaphor; it’s hard to sell your goods, where half the market is locked behind a monopoly that cuts corners, and sells junk food but can label it as health food. Oh, and they spend their profits, accusing health food of being spurious.

That paper read to me like a theoretical one. Is there any commercially viable application of the idea? Ionizing large volumes of air for any practical application of gathering water strikes me as both hazardous and uneconomical.

edit to add: also, the research doesn't appear to be mutually exclusive? The VA Tech folks were looking at how to prevent clumping on the wire mesh used to gather water, while the study here was increasing the volume gathered on the mesh. It seems natural that you could combine both ideas. That is, a grounded harp mesh which gathers more fog due to ionization, and doesn't clog due to the harp design from VA Tech.

Lets not forget the ACLU has burnt 100 years of goodwill to become the bad guys in the past decade.

No idea what that means so I threw it AI and it came up with this...

In simple terms, ZINK is a tool that helps protect sensitive information in text data. It can automatically find and hide or replace things like names, addresses, or other personal information, even if it hasn’t seen that specific information before. This is useful for keeping people’s information private and secure.

For example, if you had a bunch of text data that contained people’s names, addresses, and phone numbers, you could use ZINK to automatically replace all of that information with generic labels like "Name", "Address", and "Phone Number". This would help protect the privacy of the people in the data.

So if thats what it is thats very cool but from the description I had no idea what it was.

In 95% of cases that is entirely on the studios and/or theater's personal desire to not allow minors, it isn't illegal. You can take a 3 year old into an R-rated movie as long as someone older looking is there says they can, and are not IDed themselves or known to have any authority over what a child is and isn't allowed to watch. A lot of hotels don't rent rooms to people alone under 25 or so, that doesn't mean its illegal for hotel rooms not to rent rooms to younger people either.

I've been bearish on the JWST in the past. I've thought it an investment in science that could have been made better by waiting a bit for cheaper heavy lift and advances in computational imaging.

However, this is the culmination of the construction of a cathedral to science. Every stone laid one atop another from our first comprehension of the cosmos to our emergence from our long dream as the center of a deity constructed universe has resulted in a discipline that can not only conceive of other spheres we can stand on, to entire other systems of spheres we can now see.

This is magnificent.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the case is stronger than 7-2 on the merits, which makes this an even weirder vehicle: why would the conservative justices pick this case as a vehicle for this decision when there are, as you say, much clearer abuses of national injunctions?

> I dont think any of the 7 trusted the goverment as far as they could throw them. This isn't a pro-trump court, nor one that believes any of this executive behaviour is credible.

I think that's untrue on is face. Either that or the remaining conservative members have a commitment to allowed an untrustworthy executive to commit blatantly illegal acts on a temporary basis as long as they will be eventually addressed.

To be fair, the Constitution is the law of the land.

And it can be changed. You just need 2/3 of each house of Congress and the legislatures of 3/4 of the states to agree that such a change is a good idea.[0]

It's hard to do (and rightly so), but absolutely doable -- in fact, we've done it 28 times already.

Again, there is no point in arguing with someone who fails to see the viewpoint.

Sometimes it's futile to get into mindless discussions when one takes it to heart and does not think otherwise.

The point which I wanted to make was the collective destruction.

It is funny sometimes how people get hooked onto a single word and then jump to their reply without taking a step or two back to see what is being discussed.

Such unwanted arrogance and public display of anger is of no use in public internet where nameless, faceless entities voice out the thoughts. That clearly shows how short-circuited one's own mindset is...

That being said... Good riddance of such characters... Through AI...

Eventually it will replace everyone and everything... For sure... No one will be spared... No matter how great one thinks he is in coding... It is his knowledge that will be used against him... As simple as it may sound, but that's the reality.

Gotcha, sorry for not picking up on the sarcasm. Yeah, I mean, I didn't really bother running the experiments many times for the smaller array sizes, so it could potentially be interesting to see if those artifacts persist when poked.

Could you clarify why there shouldn't be an OS difference? I was under the impression that it's the OS that handles how swap space is implemented (which was used by the first set of experiments), as well as how memory-mapped files are implemented (which was used by the second set of experiments). Am I mistaken about that?
