Speedrunning is primarily done manually. Some players use fuzzers for discovering tech, but TAS is a separate genre of speedrun and generally more of a novelty than anything.

Ask HN: How would you monetize a website the user will spend 5 minutes on?
I'm creating a SaaS (mostly for myself), that shows a list recommending a few stocks, given a few parameters and analysis. This will be free and updated daily.

I'm thinking about offering other things like reminders (your stock XXXX has reached your desired indicators), newsletters, the option to follow a stock, and to receive the ranked list daily on your e-mail.

How can this be monetized? I'd like to go without ads if possible, and sometimes I think a subscription model is too expensive, even though the information provided is valuable.
It can be synthesized, it is a simple molecule, though not trivially. There are several ways in which the process could kill an amateur chemist if they weren't very careful, it is significantly more dangerous than DIY explosives.
I think most of the popular / good speedrunners are Twitch livestreamers who make enough from donations / ads / sponsorships to do it full-time. You can see some Twitch stats here: https://twitchadvertising.tv/audience/ (although of course not every Twitch streamer is a speedrunner).
As they say; the best time to build more affordable housing is 40 years ago... the second-best time is right now!
I think I've read this free-beer explanation of yours in about 100 distinct comments. In most of them you explain why some particular programming language that you hate with a passion came to develop mindshare while it was so unlikely considering what a bad design it is.

For some balance, you could consider how Windows got preinstalled on most computers since the 90s and what huge dominance it had in the consumer and also development domains (also thanks to some evil capitalist practices, some might say!). That there are free versions of Visual Studio and other IDEs and dev tooling for various programming languages for Windows just as well. Also, consider that I can buy Windows 10 Professional for $8.90 with 5 seconds of googling.

The Entrepreneur’s new path of maximum optionality
Speedrunners are playing the game manually, and sharing the tricks they find for how to exploit game mechanics to speed things up.

There exist something called TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) where you use an emulator with save states and either slow motion or the ability to advance frame-by-frame in order to construct the "ideal" run, but runs constructed these ways generally aren't actually playable by hand because they rely too much on frame-exact timing.

I haven't read enough about it to have an opinion yet.

Does the wording in fact contradict Hustler Magazine v. Falwell? Would it outlaw satyrical images of politicians? Thus my question above.
Or arguing in bad faith because you just think people should always be able to "say" whatever they want whenever they want because slippery slope >> thought police >> being an asshole sends you to jail.
I don’t think it’s an issue given how little CO2 is emitted by trains per passenger/km, and hopefully the electricity used already has CO2 taxes on it. Plane fuel doesn’t.
This would be a good solution, but from what I've seen with psychologists and statisticians, it's unlikely to happen for reasons I don't fully understand. Another thing is that undergraduates often learn by adopting the norms of the institution that they're in (e.g. using version control, linters, etc) but when they're brought in as the technical person, they don't have that opportunity to improve (This is my personal anecdote as that cs undergrad at one time).

Yes; this is basic enough to be in the syllabus for the case:

Held: In order to protect the free flow of ideas and opinions on matters of public interest and concern, the First and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit public figures and public officials from recovering damages for the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress by reason of the publication of a caricature such as the ad parody at issue without showing in addition that the publication contains a false statement of fact which was made with "actual malice," i.e., with knowledge that the statement was false or with reckless disregard as to whether or not it was true. The State's interest in protecting public figures from emotional distress is not sufficient to deny First Amendment protection to speech that is patently offensive and is intended to inflict emotional injury when that speech could not reasonably have been interpreted as stating actual facts about the public figure involved. Here, respondent is clearly a "public figure" for First Amendment purposes, [[[ and the lower courts' finding that the ad parody was not reasonably believable must be accepted. ]]] "Outrageousness" in the area of political and social discourse has an inherent subjectiveness about it which would allow a jury to impose liability on the basis of the jurors' tastes or views, or perhaps on the basis of their dislike of a particular expression, and cannot, consistently with the First Amendment, form a basis for the award of damages for conduct such as that involved here.

Em. mine.

> You cant retrofit subways to existing cities

How many million people lived in London, Paris, Moscow or Tokyo when they started building their respective subways?

The answer is 2.5 million, 3.3 million, 3.8 million, and 8 million, respectively. And all of those were started before 1930, so it was actually possible with the technology 100 years ago.
They usually don't get _anywhere near_ as much scrutiny.

Dev gets performance reviews _plus_ the microscope.
> Refueling nuclear aircraft carriers have projections start to finish, a half decade long.

The difference is that those projections weren't spit out on the fly by a engineer after a 15 minute pitch of some manager's great new idea. Those plans took many months of effort to put together by a team of specialists planning out the various details of the project. Software does have the equivalent of this, it's called waterfall development. The reason we don't do this is because, unlike aircraft carrier design, if you take six months to create a project plan your requirements will have likely already substantially changed.
That would be the most obvious level to set the tax at, yes.

I used to play CS in the dorms, and my roommate had a friend who attended the competing flagship school. Guy was pretty damn good, and playing against him kinda leveled me up. Started learning where people tend to hide, what cover can be shot through, etc. In retrospect I shouldn't really have been surprised that he was cheating.
I wonder if you looked at time estimates from developers of common process applications (like CRUD) in say, the 1980s, who used COBOL or FORTRAN, vs say those using Pascal or C - if those developers of code using extremely well known processes and libraries had better estimates than those using the "newer bling"?

Well I won't respond to every item on your list but I do most of them or am close to being better in terms of how we as a family follow these guidelines. Some examples - I'm vegan, have been since before I worried about meat's impact on climate change. The rest of my family is not but they are pretty health conscious and eat less meat than the average I believe and do prefer chicken over red meat generally.

I am obsessive about turning off things we aren't using, more for the money saved but I recently keep harping on everyone about how it helps the planet too (a little). I could be a lot better at what you called "stuff with phantom loads" though!

I do try to buy bulk, we do a lot of shopping at Costco and this also helps keep the number of round trips down.

As for having fun, lucky for the planet I can't really afford plane trips or even long car rides for vacations so we mostly do stay-cations... :-)

Last one I'll address is the movie bit; again, lucky for the planet, I've come to loathe the theater experience as I get older and prefer waiting until I can watch at home. Even my younger children have come to see this is as a good thing as it means family time and, usually, some snacks.

Anyway, thanks for the response. It helps knowing that my efforts to follow these basic rules is something others think about too. Sadly I agree that we are too few at the moment to make much difference.
Wait so the defense's case centers around the idea that Carreyrou had too much influence over regulators by providing extensive evidence, witness testimony, and analysis by objective third party specialists? Is this for real? By "eager to break a story" do they mean a kind of eagerness that results in a painstaking effort to build a thorough case that has been scrutinized by the public and media alike? This, like Theranos' tech, can't possibly be viable.
I do not understand why that message was down voted. Tatars are really the oldest owner of Crimea and they do not support Russia. They remember many bad from Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_of_the_Crimean_Tat... And now too nobody asked them if they want to be part of Russia or not.

Crimea is occupated and this is reality. All other talks about how much Crimea is more Russian sounds like a Russian propaganda.
Yes, speedruns are humans playing the game live.

If preprogrammed inputs or whatever are used, the term TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) is used. Calling a TAS a speedrun would be a faux pas.

This seems horrendously expensive at $36 per user per year to incentivize basic community tasks. Maybe it just doesn't fit into my world, where we do things like put dishes in the dishwasher as we use them and put them away when they're clean.
I don't mean they're close enough to be interchangeable, just that they're close enough that it's dumb to have separate scales.

They're useful for having people understand speeds at different scales, but only because the different scales of units line up stupidly.

Of course the effort to change it isn't worth it, it just makes you wish we'd got it right the first time around.

Well, there were plenty of homeless by the library in downtown San Diego, but it was a really nice library all the same. I went to a wedding there (it's an awesome venue too). And hey, homeless people can enjoy the library too.

Re: LA - I experienced that with the buses. I got a bus from Vegas to LA after Defcon, and then bus 20 (local version of the 720) from DTLA to Santa Monica about 1 AM, and it was mostly full of people sleeping rough. Kind of ridiculous, really - the city pays for a bus, fuel, maintenance, insurance, a driver, etc. and gets a pisspoor homeless shelter, when they could just pay for housing.

Though yet again that's a failure of housing policy... which is exactly what this article is getting at.

I’ve always thought that multiplayer games could be improved by essentially giving every player a bot “layer” their actions are relayed through; a bot which perfectly does everything that can be done through rote memorization (pathing, rough aiming based on prediction with incomplete knowledge), leaving the players to compete solely on the things humans are uniquely good at.

(I’m not suggesting aimbots, mind you; the bot layer wouldn’t have more complete information to base its decisions on than the player does.)
My current favorite (to watch) is Celeste. The humans are amazing, but the TAS is just out of this world. It just looks so damned cool as it blows through the levels.

It's a lower-end part, but regardless, POWER9 isn't really anything special in terms of instruction throughput / calculations (it's only got 4-wide SIMD for example), and its FP performance is not great.

Where it really shines compared to x86/64 is memory bandwidth / throughput.
It is a balance: We don't know how long something we've never done before is going to take, and at the same time, we often need some time boundaries so we don't go off tangent building some wildly ambitious re-write of the world.

Perhsps the qustion we ask in projects shouldn't be "how long will this take?" but: "How long do you want to spend on this problem?".
The thing in the US is that almost everyone already owns a car (so that’s considered sunk cost) and the cost of fuel is heavily subsidized.

So that’s the comparison I guess. It’s not fair, but it’s also sort of reasonable, given car ownership here.

This is the best theory. The detectors usually key on specific functional groups characteristic of the molecule rather than the molecule itself. This overfits for a lot of inert chemistry in practice, though they try to pick functional groups that are selective (and cheap to detect).
1920's – What the Future Will Look Like
Any new law has the potential to result in no-knock SWAT team raids and online censorship with minimal judicial oversight when someone violates a technicality in the law and pisses off the wrong person. And despite that many times said laws don't even result in a decrease in the undesirable behavior after all that. It's always worth looking at the potential abuses of a law (especially one that that effectively makes an exception to the 1st Amendment) even though the thing it claims to address is reprehensible.

Yes, I think deepfake revenge porn is terrible, and people who make it are douchebags. But - we've all seen our politicians support some truly stupid stuff and make some truly ignorant statements. Do we suddenly just assume that these same people managed to write this law with everything well-defined, and with appropriate checks and balances in place, without external critical thinking applied?
