Wow, if you've been working on interactive narrative and you don't know about Inform and (I assume) interactive fiction (IF)...you are in for a treat.

Probably a reasonable overview of the community is the IF forum, intfiction.org. But there are many others.

A good overview of games written is ifdb.org and ifcomp.org. For example, https://ifdb.org/viewlist?id=k7rrytlz3wihmx2o

Things to search (include "interactive fiction" in each):

Tools: Inform, TADS, Dialog, Twine, Choicescript, Ink

People: Emily Short, Andrew Plotkin, Jon Ingold, Christine Love, Aaron Reed, Chris Crawford, Porpentine...there's so many.

Not at all contradictory. Opioid addicts need higher and higher doses for their fix. In the worst case they too drop out of society, committing crimes such as theft and prostitution to service their addiction.
Any guy who is not a psychopath deserves a real woman who is going to be nice to him without making unreasonable demands and vice versa. Instead, we have a huge number of leftover young men whose best option is computer generated porn and who sometimes lose it and shoot up a place. And a huge number of women who give up on having a family because popular guys always move to someone hotter. I am not suggesting restricting porn or claiming any absolute religious mores, but we better fix our culture so that men and women don't find CGI preferable to each other.

Because when presented with a bunch of pictures of hot shirtless dudes, thinking “how can I apply cutting edge technology here?” simultaneously isn’t most peoples first instinct (regardless of your gender identity or sexual orientation), but is immediately relatable if you’re a technology nerd. It’s both unexpected and familiar, and that’s the magic formula for humor.

I will try to start some boring cashflow positive busineses such as opening a restaurant, bar etc. Once the business is stable , i can delegate to a team and have an income stream. Then, I will probably try to create a software that solve some pain points and try to sell it. I will keep the costs low and be ready to experiment and fail many times. Because i have an income stream, the failures won't crush me.

This reminds me of the recent news of a potentially extra-solar meteor that showed up on military sensors. Discussed here [0]

I wonder if those objects are considered UFOs/UAPs by the government, and if “not man-made” just means it could be a naturally occurring meteor.

I only use JS/TS on the client side, which will end up running in the browser, thus being able to use Bun to create production code will require these features. I didn't say they were technical challenges, but these processes require more complex analysis and algos.
The problem with nginx commercial was it didn't work with the actual resources developers can bring to bare. If an nginx commercial license solves a problem, and the answer is "great, $5000 a year please" then the developer can't take that to their manager - the problem isn't critical yet, may not become critical, and they'll be asked to look for any other solution to work around it (I've been the guy doing this).

A per node, per core, per something license at a much lower rate would've saved them a lot of problems. Because $5 a month per node might get expensive quickly when scaling up, but thats a simple expense I can throw on the corporate credit card and then go "look, now the project is delivered".
> Not if the municipality has a fixed budget

In an area where property values are rising, other costs typically increase as well. Municipalities can't often provide the same services on a fixed budget any more than businesses can do so.

> Also if your property value has gone up, you have gained equity, so that may offset increased taxes (depending on divers factors).

This doesn't help unless you borrow against the increase in equity. Otherwise it just means less money in your pocket monthly.
And then the sea levels will rise to where Mount Everest will become beachfront property. No one is safe anywhere, climate change will destroy everything.
You aren't wrong. This is part of the reason I tend to buy ThinkPads; a large portion of the OpenBSD developers use ThinkPads and dogfood OpenBSD on them!
Unlike most blockchain games today, Dark Forest is decentralized and has some unique properties:

- the game is open source and free to fork

- because of zero knowledge proofs, no single entity decides on or knows of the secret data. Assuming the protocol is correctly coded, users cannot cheat or crack the game - not even the developers know the planet locations.

- because it’s built on a fairly permissionless network, any user can build smart contracts, new game clients, and plugins for the game to modify it. Most online games have to issue API keys for server access to achieve modding; in Dark Forest there is no concept of “centralized server.” So even if the game developers stop maintaining the game, the contracts and on-chain game state is unaffected and will continue to operate normally.
>Ideally the property would never increase in value in the first place, because we'd build enough housing to prevent that.

This is the key takeaway from all of my experiences reading about and owning property. We'd all be much better off if we built a ton more housing, but that doesn't fall within the Overton window and so likely will not happen.

This was a great idea previous to the COVID related $7+ trillion addition to the national debt. The national debt went from about $23 trillion to about $30 trillion in less than 3 years. Now we'll be adding more to it. If all the 45 million get a break then that's 45 mil * 10k = 1/2 trillion, about. It's nuts.

I'm all for it but the administration needs to figure out how to pay for it. Adding to the national debt will increase inflation, making things worse for everybody in the long run.
What's going to be really wild is how the availability of convincing technology like this will seep into expectations that women think men have, and how they modify their own bodies to adapt. This has already happened, even with today's limited production capacity using human models/actors.

What happens when literally any crazy fetish can be explored infinitely?

Based on the images linked here (server has melted down), this stuff is not very convincing - yet. But when it gets there and literally any image can be called up, with endless variation, on demand, that's when things will get strange.

> I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated.

Eventually, this technology will be available to anyone with a few bucks to spend. The software won't be run on a server but on local machines. Those restrictions will not last. It will no doubt cause a crisis of sorts as the lawyers and politicians try to make antiquated concepts of decency and harm apply to hyper-realistic material generated algorithmically and without the direct involvement of any person.
It’s not possible because there is limited space. Someone loses, always. There is no version of reality where everyone who wants to live in San Francisco gets to.

You can disagree with how we divvy up SF but claiming you should get to live there is in direct contradiction with the idea that everyone should get to live there.

Someone, somehow, will get bumped. You’re just advocating for a system that would put you there at the expense of someone else.
> Just like you would expect in a real aircraft flying under VFR. Because it's easy, and natural to do. Generally people spend too much time looking at instruments when flight simming.

They also can spend too much time looking at instruments when flying VFR. It's something a real CFI will(should) remind you when you're doing your flight training: Do your scan but remember to otherwise keep your eyes outside the window. Especially today, with all the glass panels, moving maps, ADS-B traffic displays... the temptation to fly with your nose in the cockpit is ever present.
I think it’s great that you publish and maintain this library and nobody can or should tell you to put more work into it. That said a package that did have explicit methods for every endpoint with documentation of what it does and what the parameters are would be awesome for me as a user. The docs will pop up when I write the code and make it easy to explore the different methods from my editor. No need to switch to the apple docs all the time (but probably still sometimes). And again I still think your library can stay as it is. I really don’t think this string parsing magic is the way to go. It can be useful in some simple cases, but specifying a whole API goes to far imho.
>The BSDs are much cleaner than Linux distros.

I see this opinion a lot, but what tangible benefits does that result in?
I suggest both men and women of that kind work on themselves a bit first before trying for a relationship.

Our society has gotten to a point where it’s become acceptable to not do that, but that’s really where the issues are coming from.

Nude bodies and fused body parts… These things are very disturbing to my mind as an adult. Scares me to think children would run into this kind of content online and what it would do to their psyche.

It stops being interesting after the initial wow reaction. Hope this won’t open a subculture and will be relegated to curiosities in technology

This is awesome! Cities don’t do a great job of organizing data. It’s unclear if there’s enough funding/interest to have better access to data like this. But I certainly wish there was!

I sent a message to author directly but wanted to add as well. Has anyone used tsvector index on Postgres for this type of full text search?

I’ve had great experience with it (for this type of full text/document data) but there isn’t much information out there about this kind of index and how to best utilize it.
IP address exhaustion isn't the only issue - subnetting was never meant to be as complex as it is. End users shouldn't care about addresses. Optimally you shouldn't be specifying raw Ip addresses anywhere. It's why we have DNS and discovery protocols. IPv6 helps this. It drastically simplifies subnetting and eliminates the need for NAT.
I don't think anyone deserves anything just for not being a psychopath.
Ask HN: When is it time to market your app? And, how fast?
It feels like a tricky dance: to know if we have product-market fit, we need to get users/customers, or learn why people don't _want_ to be our users/customers. But if we tell the market about an app that isn't ready yet, we may squander our launch.

What are good strategies for low-key launches that start the virtuous cycle of feedback and updates, but leave room for a "big splash" marketing campaign?

And... when is the right time to go for it?

We're considering search ads, heck, even a "Show HN" post, maybe Product Hunt down the road a little ways, conferences in our industry, etc. But it feels like there's a balance to ramping up the publicity too slowly or too quickly. Just wondering how other people deal with it. Thanks!
> If no humans are harmed by it at any stage, then how's it any different from the CGI murders all over movies and TV? In the absence of harm, the only reason to consider it a crime is that it's disgusting. But we don't prosecute people for having sick thoughts, just for acting on them.

You say that, but created from scratch drawn material is illegal in some countries. What you've stated is a nice ideal but often doesn't match reality, and I'm on the fence as to whether that's a necessarily a bad thing in this case (I'm not sure we really know enough about sexual drive and how it interacts with the subconscious to know whether it's actually benign or has a societal cost).
I wanted to back my google photos to my NAS the same way I do with Google Drive. And according to Synology this is not possible.

Around the time ML/AI was starting to take off again, (I want to say 2011/2012 ish) I was doing research into applying OCR methods to recognise engineering symbols on drawings (both hand-drawn as a graphical rep and CAD as a vector rep). OCR uses locally-sensitive-hashing techniques, where minute changes, like a couple of pixels difference here and there, in theory result in similar hashes. What you really need to do is look at your windowing and overlaps and tune those to get something that actually gives you localities that are useful.

This worked quite well for me. After running a "training-set" of sorts I created a small tool that ran over a quarter-million engineering drawings to get counts of each symbol from the set. (I'm going to hand-wave some implementation complexity here but essentially) If an exact match couldn't be found, the item being searched would show with thumbnails of it's nearest neighbours off to the side, you could select if it was essentially the same as one of those. (Sort of like "is this, this person" in Google Photos and the Apple equivalent)

The next step after this POC was to expand to discover symbols used most next to other symbols to use as contextual menu items in other CAD software to speed up drawing production, since a lot of time was spent placing a symbol, then stopping to text search the item you were placing next.

Unfortunately I was retrenched soon after and didn't get to progress. A couple of years later I took this a dimension further and was prepping for a PHD that would look at this for 3D-objects and models using naively generated voxel representations. Almost by accident I found group at/backed-by DARPA had a patent pending on a similar method. In retrospect I should have just gone all in on a photogrammetry based method since that kind of won out as a superior method - but it was still early days.

The moral of the story is that everything is pattern recognition and simple methods from before this last decade of ML/AI could do some cool stuff too.

At scale, the map itself can become too big for a single node. Now - you can resolve this with more levels of indirection (lookup in meta index to find which index to find where the data is), but this impacts performance.

But you're right - it's a totally valid option and works more than it doesn't (you can index a LOT of data with a few GB).

The primary issue I have with this article is that it points to redux-toolkit as having types that are done right. The same result of redux-toolkit create actions (https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/blob/4ab8c42cb20ae1...) can be made mush simpler (see https://gist.github.com/baetheus/2e16ad4118b6fcd45e45756780e...). The only real difference between these two implementations is the simpler one doesn't overload a single function with multiple strategies for datatype creation.

In my opinion, our industry is not generally exposed to type level programming or dependent types. As a result there are many popular APIs (redux, redux-toolkit, react, vue, jquery) that implement variadic and generic interfaces with many overlapping options on single functions. If the types for these interfaces had been written (or long considered) before being published then the authors' might have noticed how complicated they are at the outset and perhaps decided to solve the simpler problems first and build the complexity slowly.

It's probably happier that way, honestly. Like how fluorine is an insanely reactive species, and fluoride is pretty chill.

Think of the hydrogen bonding you see between water molecules, but on steroids.
