> As more and more users switched to mobile browsers, the games can't run there, and browser gaming can't pay developers and it dies.

As an android user with an embarsingly high level on Kongregate back in the day, I can tell you that almost no flash games worked well on mobile, even in browsers that did support flash. The mobile flash gaming experience was just bad, which is a big part of why it died.

> Your retelling of Adobe's history is wrong. They were still very much invested in mobile development up until the end of Flash. In fact to this day you can still use AIR to target iOS and Android with native apps. They release updates regularly.

Yes, Adobe abandoned mobile flash in favor of AIR targeting html5 and native apps in 2011. That is exactly my point, Adobe abandoned mobile flash which was another big part of why flash died. See: https://www.pcworld.com/article/478103/adobe_ends_mobile_fla...

> It's very clear that you don't have any idea what you're talking about, have not interacted with these companies professionally, and have not used the technologies in question or even followed along.

> Moreover, the countries that would potentially aid India in any escalation of border disputes would be the US, Europe, etc.

Nope, first it would be Russia that would help India. Russia has been the long term trust worthy friend of India.

Ideally, yes, India should align with the West and probably wants to. But, without a NATO like equivalent that guarantees protection India gains nothing by aligning solely with the West instead of a known bad weather friend Russia.

The two dies and interconnect are all part of the same silicon. In the chiplets used by AMD and many others, they use separate CPU dies with literal wires between them. This replaced the wires with hard silicon.

Disadvantage of this technique is yields will be worse because the individual component is bigger, and this is limited to combining exactly two chips because it's not a ring-bus design.

I share your concern. I don't mind GMO things as long as there's no way for the genes to escape. But I would not be a fan of a world where these genes escape, infect all trees and then we have another great oxygenation event because nothing can break down the heavy metal trees.
Good questions!
1. We are still studying tradeoffs. Given the biochemical mechanism (how we change the trees), we are essentially increasing the amount of energy going to growth and not changing any fundamental ratios between lignin and cellulose. Think of this as similar to when humans go into ketosis :) We have seen some evidence of increased temperature resistance and wilt resistance but not enough data yet to come to any conclusions.
2. Empress trees grow very fast but there is not much of a market for their wood because it is very light. this means it is harder to get landowners to plant these trees. Poplar trees are commonly planted for environmental services like cleaning up of abandon mine lands and loblolly pines which are commonly used for saw timber. The varieties of trees we start with have been studied in the field for decades and we have access to that field trial data to start with.
> the demand for Go devs far outstrips the supply

True, but many many Go jobs are in crypto or k8s-like nonsense. If you care about building something useful and fun then you need to easily skip >80% of jobs.

(no doubt people will comment that crypto and k8s aren't nonsense, but many people do think so: crypto has been widely discussed here already, and k8s maybe perhaps makes sense in a few scenarios, but for most it's just an overcomplicated mess; I've never seen it be employed even remotely smoothly).

Anyhow, I think I'll do something other than Go because of this.
I remember reading at the time that they couldn't reasonably get the connector throughput working. The original 5K iMacs used custom high bandwidth internal interconnects because there weren't any standard spec interconnects that could do the job, therefore no commercial external cables or connectors up to it either.

It might be possible in theory now, but I suppose that ship has sailed.

Right. But when I'm in Scratch the wiki is nowhere to be found.

Everything needs documentation for a kid. Even a fork or a spoon.

Without ample examples of what you can do with the things you are just touching you make way slower progress and require much more motivation.
To go further on this, the T1/DID allows you to set various numbers for the outgoing (for example, so that all calls from your company appear as "main company number", or all calls from support people come from the "support number"). The CallerID is very easy to replace with anything, but even the ANI can be replaced, and until recently, nobody verified anything at all.

And lots of "back end" things depend on this silliness - for example, some MVNO actually have TWO phone numbers associated with the phone: a VOIP "real number" and a secret "actual cell number" - Republic Wireless had this for sure. The VOIP number is what you'd give everyone, and they'd do routing weirdness to use Wifi whenever possible. The "real" cell number would go direct to the phone but not normally appear anywhere.

>How does this purchase not ending hurting them in the sense that, if they buy Russian oil in this crisis in defiance of the West's objections; wouldn't that come back to bite them potentially if China aggressed on India in a potentially parallel border dispute?

Some people on the internet will moan, John Oliver will have some witty quip. Bono will say something insufferable. But at the end of the day, few in the west are gonna give a crap about a poor nation buying commodities on the cheap even if we don't like the source. China is the long term competitor in that region and the west isn't going to mind India buying Russian oil, and doing all sorts of things that we wouldn't allow in the west, if that's what it takes for them to be marginally stronger w.r.t. China.

Look at how the west treats the middle east. Nobody cares what terrible things KSA, Jordan, Israel, etc. do so long as they remain stable, don't align with our enemies and don't F with out interests. India, Vietnam, every other developing east Asian country gets the same treatment

Show HN: Smort.io – Edit, annotate and share articles easily
Hey HN, I created Smort as I wanted to highlight an article and share it with a friend but couldn't find an easy way of doing it.

Smort lets you easily edit, annotate and share an article. To read any article, just prepend smort.io/ before a URL in a browser. (I recently found out that even 12ft.io/ uses the same technique). Smort is free to use and shareable links are valid for 7 days from creation. Permanent links will be supported soon.

I'm primarily a backend/ML engineer so had to learn all things frontend to build Smort. I started out developing in SvelteKit and loved it but later migrated to React & Nextjs due to better third party library support. I have lots of ideas on how to take Smort forward and would love for you all to use it. Please join our Discord to share your curated articles and feedback!

This is a walkthrough article detailing everything Smort can do at the moment - https://smort.io/demo-walkthrough.

Smort's name was inspired by the memes [1]

The "Tiny Planet" / "Little Planet" effect!

https://wiki.panotools.org/Unusual_remappings

>Little planet

>Fisheye little planet remapping result © Erik Krause

>Stereographic little planet remapping result © Erik Krause
This is a remapping already used by Helmut Dersch as a thumbnail for his virtual Marburg tour on [2], where he remapped an equirectangular full spherical panorama to a 360 degree fisheye image with the nadir in the center and the zenith at the circle border. This is the same projection as used in the first example.

>Nowadays most GUI front-ends feature stereographic and fisheye output projection directly. Stereographic is far better for Little Planets since the outer regions are less compressed and hence keep their natural proportions. The stereographic example here has a smaller Field of View (250°) although the apparent size of the planet is approximately the same like the fisheye one.

>Some Panorama Viewers like f.e. KRPano or DevalVR also feature stereographic projection or even "Little Planet" directly.

Toxic people can reference valid studies and make valid points. That doesn't make them non-toxic, and neither does it invalidate the studies.
This is why I like having my number from where I lived in 2005 (see https://xkcd.com/1129/ ) - any calls from "my area code" are automatically spam unless it is a particular number I know.
The problem is that carriers (especially smaller ones) have been dragging their feet on implementing it, and nobody can use it to actually block calls until essentially everybody supports it and is interoperating. Until then, phones will just show calls between STIR/SHAKEN carriers as having verified caller ID.
For me the use case is: someone leaves a comment that's ambiguous, someone asks for clarification, some people respond _what they think that original commenter meant_, finally originally commenter solves the doubt.

I find myself Control+F the name of the original commenter to see if he/she has replied, because I'm interested in _that_ response — not so much of the interpretation of others.

I'm enthusiastic about their products and the company in general, too. I don't often feel like I'd like to be an employee, but Oxide sounds like it would a very exciting gig (but I lack any skill set to remotely justify even contacting them-- I don't think they're looking for heavily opinionated Windows / Linux sysadmins >smile<).

Their gear is targeted at way larger-scale than I'll ever get to use (what with the size of environments I work in). What I hear about their attitudes re: firmware, for example, makes me wish that I could have their gear instead of the iDRAC's, PERCs, and other closed-source roach-motel hardware I'm stuck with.

I'm young enough that I just missed the era of computers that Oxide evokes. I put in a couple DEC Alpha-based machines in the late 90s and got a glimpse of what it might be like to have a vendor who provides a completely integrated hardware/software stack and "ecosystem". I'm sure there was operational advantage to being a "DEC shop" or a "Sun shop". The PC market crushed that old school model by wringing out the margin necessary to make that kind of company work. I'd love to see Oxide make a go of it, though.
Do you have data-based evidence supporting those claims?

My understanding of the field is quite the opposite. The only way to measure the true value of online advertising is to measure how much sales have been generated with ads enabled minus the sales that would have been generated without the ads.

To the best of my knowledge, this is unsolved, even by the giants who have plenty of talent and data to throw at the problem. And for a reason, this is a very hard causal problem to solve, with many (many) confounding variables.
My experience dealing with IS professionals is they're either spending all their time writing documentation, or they're checking boxes in automated scan tools, or they're uploading results into centralized systems.

It always seemed to me that a tiny fraction of a percent of the entire IS workforce is actually involved in defining strategy. Most of them just become experts at bureaucracy compliance.

IS has more in common with being an accountant than being an IT professional, in my unjustifiably harsh opinion.

How about requiring all work to be filmed and the footage deposited with some government agency and let anyone send anonymously reports to authorities so when abuse happens, the authorities can look for the abuse footage and call all the people who were there for questioning and to look for further instances of abuse.

Some details on his equipment here: http://www.astrophoto.fr/info.html. For reference, the first tube and mount he lists:

Celestron C14 Edge HD - The telescope 'tube' alone (aka OTA) ~$8k USD

Takahashi EM400 - Equatorial mount, ~$9kUSD

This doesn't include any additional optics, filters, cameras, etc.

Solar imaging is technically challenging and gets ridiculously expensive very quickly because of the contrast benefits of extremely narrowband filtering. He references using a Takahashi FSQ-106 (~$7k), Coronado double stack (also ~$7k) and a .5 angstrom Daystar filter (~$4k).

Massive massive investment in equipment. Hard to say if he has everything he lists but easily $100k total, probably closer to $200k. I would hazard that if you tried to start today, you couldn't find any of the above in stock. You're going to be scrounging the used market (which is fortunately quite active) and/or waiting 2-3 years for order fulfillment. I started into this hobby last fall and it is quite frustrating just getting your hands on what you want.

That's the 90s/00s view, but I think there's a reassessment underway that Russia cannot practically extend military aid right now.

The US supplying military aid, specifically F-16s, to Pakistan has been the biggest issue for a US/India strategic relationship.
Wow, pardon my ignorance. There's a whole wikipedia article on India Russia relations [1]. (I then checked how many bilateral relation articles there are, turns out a lot but clearly not exhaustive). there's a lot to the India Russia relationship dating back to the cold war and it's a close tie.

Well, with the pocket size of Intel, I would assume that some sort of serious research would be going on at the moment to maintain their dominance in that market.

They would fight Apple in this. They also have AMD to fight for the non-M1 chip market...
For a company used to enjoying dominance they have a lot of work to do to remain at the top.
That's specifically one of the examples they gave in the video the article references at the top. It wouldn't be breaking ABI if the symbol differs because that is the "correct" API breakage, one that callers have to be aware of, will generate an error when the application tries to load the shared library and does not find the matching symbol. The entire issue is when things change on the binary level but the application is not aware of it, and continues a subroutine call with wrong arguments or misinterprets the return value.

Also, as the video states, the issue can happen even if the type of one of the arguments is the same but the fields in the type are rearranged, leading to a different offset during derreferencing.

The method discussed in OP requires UDP telemetry to be implemented by the game. Not every game will have this option.

I recall a researcher friend who tried RL on an arbitrary game of his choice by exploiting the system memory used by the game and using the memory state as a game state. Of course, the memory state is not human-readable (unless you have the source code and the intimate knowledge of the game; even so, it would be a difficult thing to do by a human) but a clever RL algorithm would treat the state just the same as from a human-readable state space.

His project was a wild success and beat an experienced human player. I recall he had a youtube video somewhere. I miss that guy.

I actually got to wondering why some dead accounts got killed, when I see acceptable to good content from them. It is only when I go back through the comment history far enough, I can sometimes see what got them pushed over the edge. But other times I don't see anything really bad, so my assumption is that some other automated heuristic kicked in (posting from low reputation IPs), or that what got them banned ended up deleted.

I know you can sometimes vouch for a comment, but it would be nice to be able to click a button that gives an explanation of why an account was shadow banned (assuming that doesn't violate privacy or something).
Quite nice. Wish mine was a bit more visible though.
"Handle the demand" does a lot of work here. What's the demand in your opinion, and how would you handle it?
All I can say is that I’ve only ever used make as a task runner myself, so just matches my need way better.

IME make’s model is often too simplistic to be of use, so it simply gets in the way of tools already doing things internally with proper insight, or requires force-cleaning everything because it's too dumb and just breaks the build when you e.g. switch branch.

Just’s author is also looking at integrating `redo` for building / dependency tracking, though the issue has no activity since it’s been created.

Isn't US considering buying oil from Venezuela? What happened to human rights concerns in Venezuela? There was also a statement from an US official that buying oil from Iran is not off the table. US forced other countries to not buy Iranian oil by imposing sanctions which I think are still in place. What I am saying is each country has its own interests. There are no morals, only interests. We may not like it that way but that's the way it is and US leads the way there.
