Hello there!

I built this website for finding children's books. Instead of scrolling through videos, let the children scroll through books

Currently there is only one source for the books as The Internet Archive and other sources are not quite working well, but I will try to integrate other sources and libraries too. If you have any suggestions, I would be happy to hear them.

I used Claude Code for the most of the code but with strict instructions to follow (mainly because I was too lazy to write it myself ). Still I am positive there's plenty of room for optimizations.

> Governments. Make it a digital passport.

Some places don't have a sufficiently functional/digitally-competent government to manage it securely, and others would likely withhold/invalidate identifiers from groups they disfavor (like an ethnic/religious/political minority) - which would be fairly consequential if this is to dictate ability to communicate online. It's not the only way a government can do that, but it would be one that's alarmingly easy (requiring just inaction) and effective (to whatever extent the system works "as intended" in thwarting workarounds).

Presumably there also needs to be recourse against a corrupt government accepting bribes in exchange for giving out identifiers to spammers/etc., which to my understanding of the proposal would cut off all legitimate citizens of that country too if there's no redundancy.

Relaxing the requirement to allow for fallbacks (such that you can also apply to ICANN or some other international organization to get an identifier) should help, and if anything gives you more room to be picky about which organizations are accepted as attestors.

> People should be free to refuse to interact with you.

I think this conflates negative/passive rights (like the right to bear arms) with positive/active rights (like the right to counsel). Someone is free to refuse to interact with anyone who has worn fur if they can make that distinction, but that doesn't obligate me/society/governments to implement infrastructure to ensure that they can distinguish people who have worn fur - and people are (in general, not under oath/etc.) also free to lie about whether they have.

I can understand you not ditching after the first suspension but the second suspension should have been the point where you took the choice.

First time is a fluke, second time is a serious wake-up call, third time it's your fault.

Do you really want to reach the point where all your customers have an outage, you have to rush implementing something else (oidc or api keys) AND rush your customers to change your settings?

I did take a look at the projects which attempt to address conversion of C to Rust and even if article talk about about uplifting C to idiomatic Rust, or to utilize decompilation techniques, I do not see anything of that in any existing project.

- C2Rust: https://github.com/immunant/c2rust From what I see, very limited testing of what C can be uplifted. - Citrus: https://gitlab.com/citrus-rs/citrus Overall almost no tests. I would not even mention this project, since it seems to be working on hope. https://gitlab.com/citrus-rs/citrus/-/tree/master/tests?ref_... - Corrode: https://github.com/jameysharp/corrode Written in Haskel, not in Rust as others, have potential, since they utilize csmith for testing.But still lack of testing. https://github.com/jameysharp/corrode/tree/master/scripts

I really don't see any project which attempt to reverse engineer Rust idioms from C, even if in limited contexts. Maybe the goal of the article to inspire all of us. Or Maybe I miss some other existings projects?

Ah, that's the thing: "on page load". A one-time expense! If you're using modern page routing, "loading a new URL" isn't actually loading a new page... The client is just simulating it via your router/framework by updating the page URL and adding an entry to the history.

Also, 15MB of JS is nothing on modern "low end devices". Even an old, $5 Raspberry Pi 2 won't flinch at that and anything slower than that... isn't my problem! Haha =)

There comes a point where supporting 10yo devices isn't worth it when what you're offering/"selling" is the latest & greatest technology.

It shouldn't be, "this is why we can't have nice things!" It should be, "this is why YOU can't have nice things!"

Or just use ipv6!

You could also upload directly to the filesystem and then run occ files:scan, or if the storage is mounted as external it just works.

Another method is to set your machines /etc/hosts (or equivalent) to the local IP of the instance (if the device is only on lan you can keep it, otherwise remove it after the large transfer).

Now your rounter should not send traffic to itself away, just loop it internally so it never has to go over your isps connection - so running over lan only helps if your switch is faster than your router..

The OP is real time ray tracing which is running between 30-60FPS on my macbook air while moving the camera and objects around.

Your link appears to be a basic ray tracer which anyone who has taken an intro to computer graphics course in college is likely required to implement and would only need a javascript canvas. To be honest I have no idea how much OPs real-time ray tracing differs in complexity from traditional ray tracing.

Just talk to people in the healthcare industry about what kind of patients they have. We cover a tremendous amount of treatments in the U.S., at an arguably unsustainable level of service.

My aunt had a kidney infection in Canada and my cousin had to pull teeth to get her scheduled for an MRI. My five year old got a black eye from running into a table and they scheduled him for an X-ray and CAT scan (“just in case “) later that same morning. Had the results by lunch. My dad had a non-emergency scan scheduled the next day, and an outpatient procedure for a kidney stent (to treat high blood pressure) within two weeks. Once the surgeon was in there he realized my dad didn’t need a stent after all.

The data are there. If there's a problem with the data, it's not enough for you to simply suspect it. You kinda have to determine what the problem is and show it to us. After all, no one waits longer for healthcare than someone who never gets it because they can't afford it.

To answer rest of your question, we are using official sqlite (via evolu). We don't have a fallback for opfs. But opfs seems to supported in most browser. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System... Although, seems like the private mode in Firefox is related to opfs, so we might not be able to solve it. But again, most users won't use the app in private mode.

One thing that could help with this is to use CDN for these static assets, while still having the Nextcloud hosted on your own.

We had a similar situation with some notebooks running in production, which were quite slow to load because it was loading a lot of JS files / WASM for the purposes of showing the UI. This was not part of our core logic, and using a CDN to load these, but still relying on private prod instance for business logic helped significantly.

I have a feeling this would be helpful here as well.

> If the company can afford to pay overtime, then there's no reason they can't afford to raise their workers hourly wages so they make the same money at 40 hours or less that they would working 50/60 hours.

The company can be a government entity that finances overtimes not with profit, but by collecting more taxes and/or issuing debt obligations.

Think of NY police dept, which I'm sure is still rife with fraud to this day. They don't care about being able to "afford" to pay their force, since they have a money faucet and political influence.

> As someone who visits our automtive and aerospace factories across the US frequently, the amount of guys I see standing around looking at smartphones is astounding

You and everyone else who thinks like that needs to get out of this mentality that if you can't observe someone working actively for 8 hours out of an 8 hour day, that time is "waste". There are plenty of reasons to be on standby, some of which (e.g. blockers) are non-productive, and some that are.

You're supposed to be taking breaks (not lunch breaks) every hour anyway, to stretch your limbs and maybe ask a coworker a couple of questions.

My first thought too.

While I see Toyota-style hybrids as designed for efficiency, there's also the performance hybrids like the new Porsche 911 T-hybrid where an electric motor spins up the turbocharger to eliminate lag while another integrated into the gearbox adds power. There is no "EV mode" so it doesn't need a large battery.

Arguably the most important characteristic of a sports car is light weight, so lighter motors would be immediately useful there.

I was expecting the author to open the profiler tab instead of just staring at network. But its yet another "heavy JavaScript bad" rant.

You really consider 1 MB of JS too heavy for an application with hundreds of features? How exactly are developers supposed to fit an entire web app into that? Why does this minimalism suddenly apply only to JavaScript? Should every desktop app be under 1 MB too? Is Windows Calculator 30 MB binary also an offense to your principles?

What year is it, 2002? Even low-band 5G gives you 30–250 Mbps down. At those speeds, 20 MB of JS downloads in well under a second. So whats the math beihnd the 5–10 second figure? What about the cache? Is it turned off for you and you redownload the whole nextcloud from scratch every time?

Nextcloud is undeniably slow, but the real reasons show up in the profiler, not the network tab.

If this horrible site with its intentionally addictive algorithm traps you here like it has me, you will eventually realize that's not true at all. This website has its uber successfully celebrities and hordes of glazers who appear in their wake: swillison, tptacek, Arathorn, gwern. You just have to pay attention to usernames.

I for one feel intense jealousy about these grifters. Gwern especially -- the guy got lucky buying Bitcoin early and has spent enough of his early retirement writing that he has convinced a huge number of people (especially here) that he's some kind of expert, through sheer volume of writing!

He's a nobody! fuck I hate this website and I'll leave the moment the algorithm is no longer designed to keep me trapped here.

until then, you're stuck with me

Synthropic | Detection Engineer + GenAI | Full-time / Part-time | Remote (SF) We're an early-stage startup looking for someone passionate about detection engineering and generative AI.

If you know SIEM, threat intel, logs, detection modeling/strategy, purple teaming, and adversary emulation — and you've been wanting to explore how LLMs/agents can accelerate detection engineering workflows — we'd love to talk.

The role A lot of it is what we call AI babysitting: guiding 1,000 kindergarteners (LLMs) as they try to become senior detection engineers. Sometimes they're brilliant, sometimes chaotic — your job is to shape that into something production-ready.

You'll be part detection engineer, part researcher, part builder, with a big say in shaping the product and how AI gets applied to real-world problems.

Details Full-time or part-time Remote-friendly (SF-based, local a plus but not required) Early team, high ownership, fast iteration

The proposed "solution" will indeed protect against identity theft by non-state actors, but it would also give the government the power to lock you out of your job, your bank, your online accounts, medical care, and whatever other services and businesses that trust the government-generated token. AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO ALL OF THIS INSTANTLY AT THE SAME TIME. The government just has to refuse to issue you tokens.

Take a look at the MKS-DLC32 board. It's a (documented, but poorly!) ESP32-based 3-axis 3D printer controller board. It runs grbl on one core so it can understand g-code, and it has a local UI with web and BLE connectivity on another core. The source code is on github, although it takes a bit of digging to find it (that poorly documented part!).

I don't know how complex your Windows code is, but it's an interesting architecture to study. I bought one of the boards (they're all over Amazon) since it had everything I needed for a motion-control project, but I ended up with a simpler solution.

I think it's a shame, because the Bolt was the only adequate attempt at an affordable EV in the American market. The Nissan Leaf had the first mover disadvantage of having a unique charging port and not quite enough range for quite a while, the Model 3 never quite got cheap enough and has so much locked behind trim features that it feels nickel-and-dimey, and pretty much nobody else bothered trying to get sub-30k.

The Cache API is a web-standard API. We chose to follow it in an attempt to follow standards. Unfortunately it turned out to be a poor fit. Among other things, as you note, the "cache key" is required to be HTTP-request-shaped, but must be a GET request, so to cache the result of a POST request you have to create a fake GET request that encodes the unique cache key in the URL. The keys should have just been strings computed by the app all along, but that's not what the standard says.

We'll likely replace it at some point with a non-standard API that works better. People will then accuse us of trying to create lock-in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would personally trade that hypothetical chance to not have to look at this piece of news, and especially for everyone else not having to look at it too. I think this would be a net positive for the short term, and I think that it wouldn't affect the long term either, so it's an overall good choice.

Main reason is that reality doesn't seem to concern the voter base of these people like Trump. If it did, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. And I'm not just meaning Trump here, but all the other populist leaders in the world as well.

I think if these kinds of articles were effective in that regard, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. So, if the goal is to change the minds of people for the better, instead of banging on about the trivial, we should be looking at how to communicate better. "Told you so" doesn't work.

Hi! I'm a computational scientist transitioning fully out of the wet lab into a purely software/data-focused role. My core strengths are in building/testing automated data pipelines. In my previous role, I developed a MATLAB codebase that analyzed neurophysiological data to identify multiple groups of clinical biomarkers in animal models. On my Github you can find a simplified version of this rebuilt using Python, Docker, Nextflow, and Pytest to visualize complex time-series data.

Starting Georgia Tech's OMSCS program in January to deepen CS fundamentals.

I'm looking for a full-time position within computational science, bioinformatics, QA automation/SDET, SRE, or types of Python-focused tech support/data analyst roles. I'm a quick learner and am really eager to pick up additional stacks and technologies.

Great project! It's visually dazzling and it really drives home the sheer size of the universe(s) of named colors.

I've long been interested in the names of colors and their associations. If I may plug my own site a bit, check out the "color thesaurus" feature on OneLook that organizes color names more linearly. Start with mauve, as an example: https://onelook.com/?w=mauve&colors=1 (It also lets you see the words evoked by the color and vice versa, which was a fun LLM-driven analysis.)
