Stockfish has two key components:

(1) an evaluation function, that quantifies black/white advantage in a chess position.

(2) a search algorithm, that iteratively checks move sequences from a starting position using (1) and returns a recommendation of the best move to play.

Historically (1) was handcrafted, but it recently switched to a 'NNUE' neural network architecture (now it using different evaluation functions depending on how balanced the position is).

This is a good video if you want to understand how Stockfish works.

"But if it turns out to be that heuristics-based approach has lost to NN, it isn't that clear anymore why these have to be 2 separate projects. At least, in terms of the rest of the engine."

Leela's evaluation function is a deep neural network, inference can only be carried out efficiently using GPU, whilst the Stockfish system has been optimised for a CPU-based computer architecture. The innovation of NNUE is that inference can be performed efficiently on a CPU, partly because the network is much smaller, and partly because the architecture is designed to be efficient at recomputing evaluations of only a single piece has changed.

> Putting an asteroid into orbit would take an ass ton of fuel, more than is reasonably achievable.

That's simply false.

First of all, asteroid is already on an orbit...

You can move stuff around solar system with relative ease and little energy if you are patient enough.

For this, you go very far from the Sun (ie. Kuiper Belt) where things fly very, very slowly and then you can use very little energy to nudge it in direction of Earth orbit. You can match velocities and use gravity assists so that the object is captured by Earth.

Technically you can use as little energy as you want depending on how far you are willing to go, how long you want to wait and how precise you can steer the object.

You take a nuclear reactor and you can use asteroid as reaction mass.

If you are still not convinced, these guys also don't agree with you: https://space.nss.org/technologies-for-asteroid-capture-into...

Sure we have. We have rockets to get there and we have nuclear reactors to vaporize stuff. Asteroid itself can be used as reaction mass.

The amounts of energy can be as little as you want if you go far from the sun where orbits are very slow and very little energy needs to be used to move an asteroid in any direction you want.

We could hear the remaining (loud) engine as the plane flew over. Our house is less than 2 miles from where the parts landed and right under its flight path.

Hmm, I would disagree with this (quite strongly). Not that tcl doesn't have misfeatures (of course it does), but that `upvar` or `uplevel` are one of them.

Those commands effectively make any tcl function be able to operate as an f-expr (in old lisp parlance). Effectively (this is a simplification), an fexpr is a runtime macro, as opposed to the more traditional lispy compiletime macro.

Its what makes tcl feel more like a lisp-for-strings. Much of the truly horrible tcl code out there in the wild is from folks who try to use tcl as just another c-style scripting language.

Treat it more as a lisp, and it some of its inherent elegance shines through.

I wish there were more standards & conventions here. It seems silly that every package needs to be manually packaged for Debian/red hat/arch/etc, FreeBSD, homebrew, and maybe Cygwin/whatever people use now. That’s a whole lot of work, often for every new version of the program! And all that work could vanish if there was a standard bundler.

I think modern package managers for programming languages show us the right approach here. A cargo binary crate can be built on any platform that rust supports, it knows it’s dependencies and the compiler flags are passed in in a consistent way. I could imagine cargo having a 1 button “publish crate to dpkg/homebrew/ etc etc” button. Or alternately, I could imagine Debian allowing crates.io to exist as part of the package namespace. Then you could “apt install crate/foo” and the “foo” package author wouldn’t have to think about dpkg at all. (Maybe this already exists? It would be a sweet way to use the ppa system.)

> the price will still be high because of the stranglehold of e-ink patents

This mistaken claim keeps getting repeated again and again. Patents are not what keeps prices high. Volume. Volume. Volume. E-Ink displays used to be 100x even more expensive in 2006 until a bunch of buyers, Sony, Amazon, came in and put down big orders that caused the product to reach the next level of scale when EInk managed to repurpose existing LCD production lines for their products. If you want Eink displays to be as cheap as LCD, then there's a really simple way. Make an order big enough to get some vendor to build a dedicated Eink factory instead of repurposed LCD builds. Or... you can keep believing there's a magical stranglehold of patents. You can prove that to yourself by asking yourself the simple question of which exact patents need to expire to magically cause the industry to suddenly all start manufacturing Eink displays. And yes, saying all of them, or patent thicket proves the claimant is not involved in the actual industry.
That's a massively complicated endeavor and would require a lot of knowledge we don't have at the moment principally zero G mining and remote robotic assembly (time lags will mean it'll have to be very automated).
Found the person who read the mars trilogy
As someone who's thinking about moving to Linux and has made many non-trivial contributions to Homebrew, the contribution process for Debian packages scares me. The official documentation seems to be more of a reference guide than a tutorial, and community blog posts always seem to start with "That other tool is outdated; here's the new way to do it," making it impossible to know which method is the right one.

IMO, what really needs some lovin' is the official onboarding process for new contributors.

Yeah it seems like almost all of their videos are using clickbaity titles now especially on the secondary channels like ShortCiruit. My viewership of their videos has really dropped. I'm sure they have seen results from gaming the recommended videos but I'd be interested to see if it has affected how many average viewers they get from the subscribed people.

Man first you had to get AdBlock, and recently it feels necessary to use SponsorBlock, and now it feels like there needs to be a new one called ClickBaitBlock which maybe swaps the video titles for a user voted new title similar to SponsorBlock. I'd actually install it if it existed.

I'm 62. I fell in love with programming as an undergraduate in 1977. I had traveled across the country to attend a school (University of North Texas) renowned for their music program. Not seeing my future in music, I was fortunate that the school also had a fine computer science program.

I often reflect that I know how to do two things--make music and program computers--that many view as very close to magic. And I'm grateful.

Yes, I'm a solo founder and I can take a break and sleep etc.

The key to me is to keep thing simple and have it fail in a predictable way by not mixing server roles.

I run an email forwarding service so I clearly say this is incoming mail server, this is outgoing server. For each of them we have a pair of 2 with automatic failover.

Keeping stack simple so if they failed, only a portion of it failed. Example, it's ok if the landing page is down. People can still send and receive email.

If the mail service down, we have a check on our homepage to say that our mail service is down and we're working on it.

In other words, try to design the system in a way where you have a clear boundary between components of system, so when they failed you know exactly what failed and can do thing like restart to fix, scale up server(cpu/mem) to fix it.

Ask HN: How do a SaaS compete when others offer a free plan
I'm running a SaaS and I don't offer free plan. We do have free trial and one click cancel and no question asked refund. I proactly reached out to our customers to asked if they need more time to evaluate.

But it always feel like a losing game where others just offer free plan. I don't even know how they can afford to offer free plans. I feel like I built something and poor hours of work into it, I reached to people manually, listen for feedback and try to implement/fix thing as fast as possible, then I should charge for it.

Then I looked back, cloudflare offers free DNS management, while dnsimple is $6/per month. And dnsimple is doing very well obviously, they have been around for 10 years.

Or fastmail vs gmail, gmail is free and fastmail charge $3 per month.

So, SaaS founders, do you offer free plan for your SaaS and how do you compete with others that has a free plan?
> why should I run a node?

You personally, perhaps none. But, there are plenty of businesses today (Exchanges, Payment gateways, Casinos) that run nodes because they make a lot more from the profits Nano brings their business than the relatively minor cost of running a node.

None of these businesses would trust a 3rd party to tell them the network state.

As cryptocurrency adoption rises and more business start adding it as a payment option (eg. online shops) it's not hard to imagine the larger ones, eg. Amazon, would run a node rather than pay 1% fee to a payment gateway service.

It's also important to note that Bitcoin also does not provide financial incentives for running full nodes (miners != nodes) and in both Nano and Bitcoin's case, there are plenty of nodes on the network.

Sadly in recent years I've seen a number of neglected Debian packages picked up by people who just wanted to pad their resume and say "I'm a Debian maintainer!". This usually has ended badly with the new maintainer not caring about the userbase. They close all open bugs without having fixed anything, and break shit wholesale just so they can say it builds.

Please don't pick up a package just because you think it would be cool to be a maintainer. If you are not invested in the well-being of the userbase, you will get called out.
Oh yeah I can't really blame them. I don't feel upset personally at them for it, I feel upset at YouTube for making these clickbaity titles do better than more normal titles. It's unfortunate because this is likely actually just machine learning realizing that a lot of us humans use our pea brains to decide if we want to watch a video and thus often times those clickbait videos get more clicks. But I really wished they put some manual tweaks in place to make the user experience a bit more enjoyable and stop promoting those clickbait videos in recommendations so that creators didn't feel the need to do it.

I mentioned it in my other comment, but it feels like we need a ClickBaitBlock similar to SponsorBlock which uses user generated timestamps to skip sponsor blocks in videos. Could be a user generated/voted on new title that gets used. I'd actually use something like that too. It allows creators to play their YouTube game, but also us avoid the game if we choose to. Hell the extension could even support allowing the video creator to submit their own alternative titles. It would be a neat way to beat YouTube at it's own game.
