Saw your post and thought: maybe i can make someones day so well here i am reading it :D

Big props on the no install / no register etc philosophy. If i would had to make any account i probably would have closed it instantly again xD

So the first thing i STRONGLY recommend, add somewhere a help text (before starting game or small on the side of ingame and ability to disable via options) for the controles.

Im on a Desktop, i started the game and i expected some sort of short info about controles. Yes theres a tutorial - no i didnt play it. I mean lets be honest... tryNSucceed :D

So ye i spend the first 2-3 Stages only spamming spacebar because it didnt came to my mind that maybe its with mouse support (visually it really hard compares to vs-likes that dont support mouse).

So i can tell - ice mage with just massive rapid space spamming works perfectly fine through the whole earth stage. ^^

I find the base look finem the overview texts for the different arch types is well done (even tho it confused me that fire and ice dont have weaknesses?).

The point that at least for me was the most well, unpleasent? , is the size of the play area. I guess you made this to fit easy with smartphone screens, but on a desktop its like not even 1/4 of my screen (and im not on 4k or something) so dunno it feels just alot to small. May fit for a smartphone but for a desktop its just very very limiting while the game takes alot of space for basically nothing.

Also, you definatly should have a "Settings" button in the game pause menu which allows for changing sound levels. Not just a "total sound" bar but at least have Music and Sounds (attack etc) seperated. Because, frankly speaking, the music while for the first like 30 seconds is cool, very fast is dunno it just would fit more to the entry video scene of something than as a constant thing (my pov) - so i wish i would be able to just disable the music and still have the attack/battle sounds. Adjusting both tho would be great anyway and i think with phaser should be quite doable.

A smaller point (visual) is the size of the health/mana bars. Even tho i know they are in the top left, i kinda have to squeece my eyes sometimes to see them. So i would probably just make them bigger.

That all said, i mean i just played solo till the fire stage :) and i clearly had a bit of fun.

I would say its a great start and if you go on and refine it i see a chance that people might pick it up as a nobrainer lets just game something solution :)

Best of luck !

> This used to really bother me, but lately I'm thinking it is probably for the best.

The older I get, the more careful I am to remember there's young people left in my wake and I get to decide whether I owe them anything or not - and, I make a personal belief that I do, a very great deal in fact. So getting comfortable that the whole system is damned and worth tossing is very convenient but too cavalier for me to find comfort in

I've been experimenting with Muon on GNNs to see whether orthogonalizing updates helps with the usual depth problems.

In my runs, the shallow 2-layer setting looked mostly similar to AdamW. The more interesting case was moderate depth: around 8 layers, Muon was noticeably more stable and gave better final results. I also saw a fairly large robustness gap under feature noise and edge dropout.

The writeup focuses on the spectral side of the story: singular values, conditioning, and why the effect seems to show up more in deeper message-passing stacks than in the standard shallow benchmark regime.

I included the negative results too: Muon is slower per epoch, it doesn’t win everywhere, and by very large depth the optimizer alone is not enough.

Responding to a deleted comment:

> ... the "invisible infrastructure" of the web; balancing historical accuracy with the technical need to minimize zone fragmentation is a much more complex trade-off than it appears on the surface ...

The complexity goes up tremendously if some condition is rarely encountered: eg leap second. This means it gets pushed to a "corner case" and tested more lightly and more rarely.

At $work around 2014 we had three different hardware GPS types which we used for precision timekeeping; some chips, daughterboards, and firmware. One day a leap second arrived -- it gets broadcast to aGPS hardware a day ahead of time -- and all three implementations handled it differently. One handled it, one did something else like ignore it, and I think one even bricked itself. That situation was less than bueno.

It's not as simple as 100% of this is on the car manufacturers.

There's a lot at play, which in combination led to this "perfect" storm.

Energy policies and hence ever increasing energy prices, bureaucracy almost as bad as italy, governements making technical decisions for unprepared manufacturers by setting goals of EV production numbers and above all phasing out the cornerstone of the countries engine, literally: ICE power units.

And yes, most management are of an era that truly doesn't understand the convergent challenges in a mixed market of ICE and EVs. Shortsighted decisions have been made, throwing out the baby with the bathwater - craftsmanship, vision and engineering prowess.

What was an engineering driven industry with a say in where all this is headed became a soulless marketing machine, merely scratching the surface of what needs to be done.

They created some very bad "sci-fi" by plastering screens everywhere in interiors while still treating software like some part you can outsource to the lowest bidding supplier, swapping these out every other model range or update.

Actual internal research and guidance got killed off around the early 2010s by outsourcing all of it externally.

Besides the culture and politics within these corporations are the worst i ever encountered in my whole career.

It's a very grim picture we're looking at but there's nobody, neither in upper management across boards nor in politics actually being able to see the misery they're in, let alone doing something about it.

Glad i left almost 10 years ago but still sad, since all I had to witness is effecting society as a whole and not in a good way.

It's really just the beginning of what is to come.

What is good code now is only good code because of the bad programming languages we’ve had to accept for the last hundred years because we’re tied to incremental improvements. We’re tied to static brittle types. But look at natural systems - they all use dynamic “languages.” When you get a cut, your flesh doesn’t throw an exception because it’s connected to the wrong “thing.”
Maybe AI will redefine what good code means, because it’s better able to handle ambiguity.

Ordr — AI task manager for people with too much to do and too much in their head: https://useordr.app

Most productivity apps make you do the organizing — projects, tags, priorities, fields. That's fine when you're calm. It's impossible when you're overwhelmed.

I'm building for the moment when your brain is full and you just need to dump everything out. You throw in voice, text, images, links — Ordr calls an LLM to parse intent, extract tasks vs. events, assign order, and surface one clear next action. No tagging, no sorting, no deciding. Just: here's what to do next.

Built with Flutter + Supabase + Groq/Cerebras. Still early.

Curious if anyone here has hit this wall — tried every app, built their own system, still feels broken. What did you actually need that nothing gave you?

Consumers probably don't know all of the conditions involved in making any of the products they buy. That information is generally not on the label, and even environmental and conditions based labels are often vague and hard to interpret.

Also in an economy of rising costs, people are going to choose affordable options even if they might be vaguely aware of worse conditions happening somewhere else, far away from the grocery store aisle where they are making that choice for their family.

They all knew they were going to die soon.

They knew how broken the world is— they took part in the mayhem. They knew there is great evil around.

They found peace. Most asked forgiveness and apologized for what they had done. They left their relatives and friends with reasons to think of them as deeply flawed, but not completely terrible.

It seems a smart thing to do. It’s better than staying evil, frustrated and scared of your impending death.

I very key problem is the common narrative that green policies and the EU allegedly caused the downfall of the car industry (-> "Verbrennerverbot").

In reality, a way bigger impact seems to be that the Chinese govt decided to stop buying German cars once they could build their own (which they were always very transparent about).

The problem with this misdiagnosis that it leads to the wrong conclusion to double-down on a obsolete business model that the car industry is, instead of diversifying away from it.
Show HN: Llmpm – NPM for LLMs

npm for LLMs — install, run, and share AI models.

We’ve built llmpm, a CLI tool that makes open-source LLMs installable like packages.

llmpm install llama3
llmpm run llama3

You can also package models with your projects so others can reproduce the same setup easily.

There is no strong argument that they were "trained unethically". You can google or ask an LLM to argue pro/con that claim... but of course, you haven't, since doing so would itself violate your apparent worldview.

> so they stop doing the only creative and interesting part of the whole SDLC and just become managers

Bullshit (and, speaking as an old, incredibly whiny). Figuring out the right way to talk to yet another API is not the "creative and interesting part." Coming up with entirely new concepts and building them faster than I ever thought possible given that I have zero time to myself since I have a kid is literally the most "creative and interesting" thing I've experienced in my entire life. /shrug

I don't know what to say to folks like you anymore other than "byeeeeee, got too many ideas I can build now to waste time arguing with people who are simply not getting it... and maybe never got it in the first place because they got pushed into STEM instead of being cursed from the gods with it like I did"

Solar is priced based on gas prices as a financial incentive to encourage producers to build solar. That’s because profiting from the difference between the cost of production for solar and the cost of production from gas is supposed to be the incentive to build solar.

The gas prices went up massively in 2022 with the war in Ukraine, and even though that subsided before the war in Iran a little, the existing supply companies are not going to give back an increase in the price they’ve gained because their prices dropped.
by OgsyedIE | 2026-03-09 15:58:51+00:00
It's a shame, too, because they are right about the hydrocarbon input price effects, but speculative in a bizarre way elsewhere. Germany had a selection of strategic hydrocarbon options in the 2000s and fumbled by picking the option that would later prove to launch revisionary wars that interrupt their export capability.

Even if we lived in an alternate timeline where the US was completely supportive of the 2022 invasion at the time, Germany would still be surrounded on all sides by countries with a vested interest in pointing nuclear deterrents at Moscow and lose their energy feed in the same way.
by V__ | 2026-03-09 15:59:32+00:00
Another big problem is the mentality. "We have always done it this way" and "I don't want to change it" is extremely prevalent. I say this as a German.

This is also reflected in the big political parties, which would rather keep these beliefs alive than inspire change.

I really don't see a solid economic future for Germany when enough other countries implement more progressive economic policies.

fwiw, i found it helpful, i had no idea what a gestation crate is. i don’t think the photo is sad or manipulative, the sad part is what is being done to the pigs! and seeing a photo of what is done to the pigs is all i needed to make up my mind. it’s like posting difference between posting a document that references “enhanced interrogation techniques” vs seeing a photo of what was actually done. i agree some kind of a citation would be nice though, so i don’t have to go digging about what to say when i contact my representative about.
by multisport | 2026-03-09 15:59:47+00:00
Yes, but its gonna be weird. I've done very tangentially related work with game controllers, and my suspicion is you're gonna have to try a few (dozen?) before you find one that even sends reasonable commands. I can imagine a FireTV stick sending game controller inputs. I have no idea, but that's the type of thing that might go wrong.

A MX3 air mouse might be the exact thing you want though.

Someone in the comments says it's not as bad (ethically speaking) as it appears:

>This an impressive simulation. But it's just not honest to call this 'brain emulation', a 'brain upload' or to say that this is doing anything like 'sensorimotor loop in simulation'. Aside from the fact that a connectome is not a brain, and so we have no idea whether the parts that have been filled in by ML actually function like a brain, the motor control in this framework is not even driven by the brain simulation. The output from the 'brain' is not a sequence of motor commands. It is a steering mechanism, a 2-dimensional descending signal (essentially, turn left or right, speed up or slow down). That is then fed into a series of CPG oscillators, outside of the brain emulation, that model fly movement in response to that 2-dimensional descending signal. Since outputting a 2-dimensional descending signal is not what a fly brain does, the simulated brain is not operating as a fly's brain does. It's machine learning, clamped into the shape of a fly connectome, that has a resting state of 0Hz, being zapped with simple inputs, not virtual sensory data.

Nevertheless a worrying direction.

> In my evaluating of a fairly large codebase, if err != nil makes up a small percentage of all if statements. I think you may have a point that branching isn't great, but I'm still not sure trying to focus that into errors isn't missing the forest for the trees.

I don't agree with the premise that a frustrating pattern has to comprise a large percentage of the instances of the general syntax for people to want to change it. I can tell you do, but I don't think this is something that people will universally agree with, and I'd argue that telling people "you can't have the opinion you have because it doesn't make sense to me" isn't a very effective or useful statement.

> But, again, if it is so annoying, why is it the pattern you are settling on? There are all kinds of options here, including exception handlers, which Go also supports and even uses for error handling in the standard library (e.g. encoding/json). If your design is bad, make it better.

Empirically, people don't seem to think they have better options, or else they'd be using them. If you try to solve someone's problem by giving them a different tool, and they still say they have the problem even with that, you're probably not going to convince them by telling them "you're doing it bad".

> If they were interested in fixing it, they'd have done so already. The Go team does listen and has made it clear they are looking for solutions. Perhaps you mean some people dream about someone else doing it for them? But, again, who is that person going to be?
> Philip Wadler, the guy who they eventually found to come up with a viable generics approach, also literally invented monads. If there was ever someone who might have a chance of finding a solution in this case I dare say it is also him, but it is apparent that not even he is willing/able.

I'd argue there have been plenty of solutions for the specific problem that's being discussed here proposed that are rejected for not being general solutions to the problem that you're describing. My point is that there's a decent number of people who aren't satisfied with this, and would prefer that this is something solved in the specific case rather than the general for the exact reason you pointed out: it doesn't seem like anyone is willing or able to solve it in the general case.

My point is that I think a lot of people want a solution to a specific problem, and you don't want that problem solved unless it solves the general problem that the problem is a specific case of. There's nothing wrong with that, but your objections are mostly phrased as claiming that they don't actually have the problem they have, and I think that's kind of odd. It's totally fair to hold the opinion that solving the specific problem would not be a good idea, but telling people that they don't care about what they care about is just needlessly provocative.

> It seems logical that ending the use of existing coal energy infrastructure puts upward pressure on prices

Only if you externalize environmental costs. The point is that coal is actually really expensive. The only real argument is how fast the implicit subsidy on these externalized costs should be removed. The world has had decades to slowly remove these subsidies and failed to do so. The impacts caused by these externalized factors are starting to stack up and so should the prices.

I agree. It’s the same specious argument that equates a human experiencing a work, be it art or code, with AI training on that work.

I wanted here to write a more detailed rebuttal, but I ended up deleting it all. I don’t think people like antirez can be swayed. They’re committed to the grift, or at the very least are in comfortable enough economic circumstances not to care.

What are the economic prerequisites for the revival of RSS?
They did not exist even at the height of its popularity, when problems began to emerge that are present in any open source of information.
The author is mistaking his desires for reality, for example, describing the advantages and omitting the disadvantages (which evolve from the advantages).
Either the author is an old man who believes that “the grass used to be greener,” or a young man who believes such old men, but has never used RSS himself.

To really read what you want, there is only one way: to create your own parsers for each source, on top of which there will be various filters, both based on simple words/phrases and contextual.
For example, I do this either in the form of plugins or scripts for ViolentMonkey, including here on HN, where the design has been completely changed to tabular. Many topics, domains, and authors are not even displayed. Comments that contain 1-2-3 mentions of a certain word/phrase are also hidden.

For example, I have completely blocked everything related to “AI”: famous people, companies, programs, products.
As well as various hot topics: the US military, ICE, age verification (because there are two stupid camps for and against, without an objective approach and assessment).
And many other topics (discussions/comments): political, military, or mentions of specific countries or peoples whose bots are numerous here: israel, russia, china, iran, india. And the corresponding users are blocked.

Why do I block so much? Because on these topics, either stupid people or bots write the same thing year after year. Why should I see this spam?
For politics and economics, I go to other resources, and there are other filters there.

I digress a little. Overall, RSS won't help here.
Someone will mention tagging, and we've all been through that too, when whole paragraphs of tags start to form, where blocking one tag that could have been left out hides a good article.
Then someone will say that such filters could be configured in RSS... well, yes, if you take it again and make your own client/wrapper, because all clients are limited in their own way, just like website designs.

They teach us Scientific Realism in school, but reality is that we are really using Instrumentalism.

That said, no one wants to admit it, so contemporary science follows Falsification, where we find ways to not actually make claims about reality. (Which as an Instrumentalist/pragmatist, I love Karl Popper, its just not metaphysical truth. And that would break Popper's heart)

There is little the US could have done more to harm Europe and Germany in particular than engaging in the Iranian conflict. Qatar was supposed to be the replacement for lacking Russian deliveries.

In addition the current government is pro fossile fuels, and parts of it are the same south germans that keep building natural gas power plants.

Those plants play an important part in driving up electricity prices in the whole country, since the same people that insist on using natural gas also refuse to split the country into electricity price zones.

> segment leaders can simply use their capital to prevent challengers instead of competing on product/service quality

This is done through regulations. If you are the market leader, you have the resources to comply with new bureaucracy (that you lobby for through standards organisations) and you don't really want to do much risky new development so ossifying your product is fine. That makes it really hard for new competitors to enter the sector.

For me its as simple as mature companies are extremely difficult to reorient towards working at a loss through R&D.

People hold up China as an example but China was not displacing any local industry including its own. It's incredibly easy to do that because it's greenfield. Fast forward 20 to 30 years when new thinking might impact BYD or CATL's bottom line? They may not look so forward-thinking.

Author here. I've been thinking about how AI coding changes the relationship between engineers and the code they ship.

If a large portion of the implementation is generated, ownership can't really mean "I wrote this" anymore. It starts to look more like stewardship of a system: understanding how it behaves, watching how it fails, and designing it so mistakes are contained and recoverable.

Curious how others are thinking about this shift.

> It’s very disputable whether BEVs are industry’s future

As a technology, ICE is pretty much close to its peak. It's very hard to imagine significant improvements in ICE as far as efficiency, weight, and power output goes.

The same cannot be said for batteries and electric motors. We are still quite far from technological limits for the platform. It doesn't seem disputable at all that a platform that can still evolve and improve with significant room for growth will eventually overtake one that has peaked.
