This quine is a bit of cheating. It reads its own memory and dumps it.

It is like “10 LIST” quine.

For the machine code, the memory is THE source, and this code simply reads it because it can.

Imagine a quine in machine code running on an architecture where it is not allowed to read the code segment. This quine will not work there.

The REAL quine should generate the output purely via output data transformation encoded INTO the source, without any assumption of the runtime.
The problem with that is it allows the cheater to buy the game again and rinse and repeat. Unfortunatelly monetary loss is the best way to deal with cheaters. Generally the cheaper a game is the more cheaters it has simply because the barrier to entry gets reduced.
Why not just use a mouse? Grab a mousepad, slap it down next to you and put a keyboard in your lap. Lean back and have fun. Depending on your couch’s material and your mouse’s DPI, you may not even need a mousepad.
The numbers missing in those statistics is how many cars versus how many trucks?

For example, it's more impactful to swap out 1 million trucks driving 12 hours a day than 10 million cars each being driven for less than an hour. Same as for buses, they're on the road all day long doing multiple trips.
Werther effect. It keeps getting reported in media, crazy people copycats ensue.

Stop reporting it: it goes away.

It's a memetic contagion.
Show HN: New release, WebRTC cam 2 cam video calls
Huh? We’re talking about activity trackers. I’ve mixed thousands of sacks of concrete, but I’ve never wished that my watch had a “mix concrete” activity. Ditto for slinging roofing up a ladder or framing walls. I tend to take my watch off when I swing a hammer since I wore it on my right wrist and it was irritating.

Activity trackers are for tracking activities about which you need metrics in order to get better. If you’re getting up out of the aerobic zone while doing manual labor you should quit smoking, not use a watch.
It's extremely naive to believe Google doesn't have chatgpt capability but simply do not find it currently economical to augment or replace search with it (these answers are expensive to generate). Give it time for efficiency to scale.
I assume anything regarding crypto is probably an attempt to get clicks, views, or financially naive tech people to part with some cash.

I’m equally suspicious about anything promoting rust. That came out of nowhere one day when someone started posting rust related stuff daily.

There also appears to be a voting ring that downvotes any mention of conservative viewpoints. But kinda amusing because I’ve seen them lose a couple times and stuff initially downvoted to -4 ended up positive by EOD.
> Tesla is dead as a company.

Oh one of you. Would be great if you spread this as far as you can and get the Tesla share prices to drop so I can buy them cheap. Cheerio ;)
Companies like Reddit and Twitter (apparently) feel it's fine to lie to and deceive users without a non-fine print disclosure.

Why confront poor behavior and encourage positive interactions when you can automatically shadowban and heavenban users with minimal cost?

One of the things I hated about moderating a subreddit was having to warn shaddowbanned users that their positive, useful comment won't be seen since their entire account is shaddowbanned (often incorrectly) and they need to go beg Reddit to unban their account.

Reddit's support is a bit better than Stripe (script readers unless you can flag a founder on HN) or Google's, but even I have had an alt account get shaddowbanned (TL;DR never pattern upvote or downvote comments (eg: If Sam makes 3 comments on a post and you downvote them all, that is flagged activity)) and it's really frustrating to see 9 months worth of posts and comments that silently died due to this.
My immediate thought is of the 2013 Metcalf Substation sniper shooting, south of San Jose, CA:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalf_sniper_attack>

By NPR's account, the North Carolina incident involves multiple substations.

I've noted that Wikipedia is often one of the best places to look for a current-level situation update for developing stories. And there is indeed an article for the Moore County attacks:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_County_substation_attack>

... which also references the Metcalf article.
There are hotels in Europe with rooms as small as cruise ship ones (I stayed at one like this called the cab-inn in Aarhus). Mountain lodges in national parks tend to have small rooms also, especially if built during the 19th century.
Is there any games where they bucket customers into probability of cheating and let them play with each other? Have it been tried?
I don't have a dog in this fight, but just to answer the question. https://elonsbrokenpromises.com and https://elonmusk.today have examples of promises Elon has made that have not come to pass.

Not quite, the long haul industry has ~zero interest in the 500 mile Tesla Semi, but that’s hardly the only market for semi’s.

Safeway, Walmart, etc are using semi’s for relatively short daily deliveries from regional warehouses. That model is very different from companies picking up random freight from LA’s port and shipping it to arbitrary locations across the US.
I use CheatEngine and other memory debugging tools as part of reversing/modding single player games for fun. Recently I had a browser tab open to a CheatEngine doc page, not even the executable open, and Fortnite wouldn't let me launch, said I had cheating tools open.
I work with very large fleets making and selling software to them.

Basically none of them are operationally able to go from 15 minute diesel fill ups on any corner to the infrastructure and load planning EVs require. Like they literally don’t have the software or expertise to plan the loads around electric needs without losing money on every load.

Trucking is a single digit percentage margin business. These trucks are more expensive, require infrastructure that doesn’t exist, charge slower, and don’t go anywhere near as far as diesel trucks. And no fleets in North America are ready to figure out converting a 2000 mile long haul over the road route into 5 400 mile EV relays.

Short haul loads? Sure. In places that demand EV on certain timelines (like California).

But for everything else, these vehicles require a fundamental reshaping of transportation in America. Not saying that’s not possible, but it ain’t happening any time soon.

There probably isn't a grand strategy when it comes to awful processes. The process was probably setup by some woefully overstretch person. No one bothered to update the process because there are too many fires from the other awful processes that was also setup by another woefully overstretch person.
Technical skill was already devalued. Modern art is about ideas, and many of the most expensive and renowned works of recent require almost no technical skill. At the very least, technical skill is rarely what distinguishes a great artist anymore.
Well, of course no one knows... (kidding)

I can think of a few that I had never heard of in high school and people outside my field wouldn't know of but which do phenomenal work. One actually wonders how their students even know to look for them.

In any case, I would say the Colorado School of Mines is a prime example. I am a materials scientist and first really ran into them while doing some work with NREL which happened to be near their campus.

Perhaps it is a side effect of being undergrad only. Or perhaps a side effect of being populated with students who, at like 18 years old, knew they wanted to enter this extremely specific field.
Return Fire was also available for MS-DOS.

If you add the following to the end of your prompt it answers sort of correctly: “Think about this step by step and only then produce a solution.”

“One possible valid bound for the timestamp of Event B is a value that is greater than the timestamp of Event C but less than or equal to the maximum possible timestamp. This ensures that Event B happened after Event C but not necessarily after all other events.

Alternatively, we could set a valid bound for the timestamp of Event B as a value that is greater than the maximum possible timestamp but less than or equal to the minimum possible timestamp. This would ensure that Event B happened after all other events but not necessarily before all other events.”

The second solution doesn’t make sense to me.

So not only crypto-focused firms are becoming worthless.

Burning diesel with unpredictable prices is also money lost, there would have to be a tradeoff or niche where it makes sense
These trucks can all be charged with 240V whereas the Tesla semi requires a 1000V (mega charger) which isn't available anywhere yet. So these trucks are all contending with being far more practical.

I appreciate the casual trashing of Theorem's trustworthiness as someone who has been on the receiving end of the lack of it.
Sounds good to me! Thanks!
One of the leading protesters, Emily Grace Rainey, claimed on social media that sheriff's deputies questioned her about the outages after she posted that she knew why it had occurred, WRAL reported Sunday morning.

"I told them that God works in mysterious ways and is responsible for the outage," Rainey, who rose to local prominence protesting COVID-19 restrictions, wrote on Facebook. "I used the opportunity to tell them about the immoral drag show and the blasphemies screamed by its supporters."

In 2021, Rainey also resigned from her position as a psychological operations officer in the Army, after the Army investigated her for leading a group of people from Moore County to the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol

Rainey claims to be the head of the Moore County Citizens for Freedom (MCCF). The group is a "nonpartisan network of Moore County Citizens dedicated to the promotion of conservative values in Moore County, NC, through education and activism," according to its Facebook page.
It's surprising to me to hear that LoL actually does something about chat moderation.

I play DotA, which seemingly does nothing (at at least, very little). I eventually decided to just disable text and voice chat entirely rather than put up with salt in every other game. Toxicity is contagious.
Even academic articles call it that, e.g.:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24911982/ from 2007

The first paragraph of the introduction, in case you don't have access:

> Since medical research first established a potential link between dietary fat intake, obesity, and cardiovascular disease [1], multiple components of the public health continuum have waged war on dietary fat. That war has generally been successful, not necessarily at preventing obesity or heart disease but at convincing Americans that dietary fat is bad for us.
And 0% of its silence while doing all that. Also, I would check real benchmarks. I have seen much bigger differences.
Because the regulators weren’t stupid. They knew an overnight ban would ground flights (impacting jobs, economy in remote areas etc) so they gave the industry some leeway.

I can only assume that current regulators don’t have an incentive to wait when it comes to this problem. Perhaps they think not too many job are impacted, and no remote village will go without their mail service, etc?

Personally I don’t have a problem with some middle-and-upper class cyclists having to use regular Gore-Tex for their leisure activities so my kids don’t get poisoned. They’re not coming to take away your existing jacket, just continue biking like you’re used to…
Have not hit this issue...yet. However, on my Xbox someone else's ActivisionID has inadvertently been tied to mine. Got in touch with the owner and when they go to unlink their account from my Xbox Live Activision's website just reloads. No errors, no codes or any confirmation or denial. Phone support is nonexistent, followed all other possible channels and cannot find or do anything.

I spent $70 for a game I can't play on my own account. I can't play with my friends, I can't level my own stuff, and there is nothing I can do. It's completely broken and I can't get a refund in any way. Anyone had success in disputing these purchases with their credit card companies?
I was sysadmin for IBM software in a 50k-people company, there is no way they paid 12m$ for ClearQuest, ClearCase or RequisitePro when Git and Jira were already out. They clearly played golf to win this market.
This is definitely a problem in Germany as well. The water head of universities become bigger and bigger while research and teaching staff is being kept on fixed-term contracts.

This is a disgrace and hurts the research in the short term and the economy in the longer term. I realize that individual researchers are not a priority for people at the top but having strong research and skilled people should be important to them.
Nice that you call 800€/month cheap. You are probably seriously rich.
As a strawman, it should just possible to have a kind of "B-train" with a smaller, detachable battery unit just behind the tractor (apologies to truckers if I am using the wrong terminology). This way it would be possible to swap this out super fast. Maybe it could be at the back for faster swap.

> We knew the overhead rates of the universities we contracted with and factored that into our grant allocations.

I read this and thought you meant you preferentially allocated grants to universities with lower overhead rates, and was hopeful for a moment, but then:

> If the team needed $1m to do the research but the university takes half, we allocated them $2m. It was just the cost of doing business.

Right, that's exactly what being complicit is! You're the problem!
You're idiot
For what it's worth, I'm a human posting under my real name. I was born, and I will die, and I'm here with you now. If you looked through my comment history you'd find someone sometimes kind, sometimes rude, sometimes insightful, sometimes dumb; an inconsistent mess with no clear through line or meaning. I collect funny jokes in my HN favorite comments [1]. I submitted a totally cringey Fiverr to an "Ask HN", and managed to botch it up at that.

Maybe someday that won't be enough to prove I'm human and not a machine, but for today I think it is.

In his first book on the topic, he did specifically make the point that the advanced culture was "white", although to his credit, he hasn't explicitly repeated that since.
> This writing is similar to tsumnia's posts in that it is written in a conversational and informal tone. It also uses descriptive language and metaphors to paint a vivid picture of the underwater basketweaving experience. Additionally, the writing offers personal insights and reflections on the practice, which is similar to tsumnia's posts that often include personal opinions and experiences.

Glad to hear I'm a chill, laid back kind of guy :D
Ask HN: What are some communities for UI/UX design and code?
I've found a few communities with great art and mockups, but they seldom have people discussing the code parts of design and those conversations are what I'm looking for.

I'd imagine that there's a lot more overlap between developers and artists, I just need to find where that's happening. Does something exist that's like a cross between HN and Dribbble?

Most of the time you buy a one time license to use the software, which is tied to your account and platform.
Gifu is charming, but I don’t get this either. I had a friend there, so my experience is different, a good place to eat, hang out, not really a tourist place even with the castle (and you could see a better one in Osaka).

I can't reply directly to you nelsonic again - but what I've posted and the posts of others very very directly cover the promises elon hasn't met.

You are directly choosing to not read or respond to them, and have absolutely gone full sea lion.

No matter how many times you repeat the same question it's just over. We've responded. You choose not to listen.

Blind "stans" are disgusting, this situation is no different. Do not blindly follow a hateful personality to attach yourself to.
A couple of years ago I have built a copy of this project with my son on a breadboard with real (made in '80s and '90s) 74-series chips.

It was a very fun experience. And we liked the project very much.

It has a very small and concise schematics which makes it very easy and clear how CPU really works.

P.S.: the original simulator is written in C++/CLI (a .net flavour of c++), so I decided to refresh the project (to c#, it was easier to translate than to port to native c++), and added a real 1602-display simulator which looks nicer and support a “graphic” mode. You can play with it here https://github.com/omgtehlion/nibbler-sim
I didn't list all the ones, just the ones I found while looking at "the market".

I am surprised that everyone is going relatively strongly toward semis instead of box trucks; it seems that would fit the "current" capabilities much more.
I've never met at adjunct administrator, and that tells me all I need to know.
I'm not suggesting malice at all! An economist would even call it 'efficiency'.

It's also possible this is a hybrid — that the process grew in complexity for exogenous reasons, and when someone considered streamlining it, they realized that doing so would result in more reimbursements processed (specifically for more well-off employees) and decided to leave it be.
Leading with "this is such a ridiculous post. thanks for the laugh" is not needed. The rest of your content is good, but insults are beneath us!

All you are doing by leading with a caustic statement is putting some people - who you otherwise might be able to convince - off reading the rest of your content. The others who read because of the opening salvo didn't need convincing anyway.
The standard warranty on a semi-truck engine is 4 years and 400,000-600,000 miles. A million miles isn't impressive, it screams "we're so far behind, we need to distract them with flashier incentives."

Maybe they can build up their reputation in time to pay for all the warranties. I guess it worked for Kia? IIRC that's around the time that all those "cash back" incentives became popular with the other manufacturers, before they jumped on the 10k bandwagon too.

I may be in an overly cynical mood, but the word "trying" in that phrase changes the color quite a bit, and frankly, the word didn't need to be there. Carefully parsed, the addition is not a ringing endorsement as it appears on the surface.
How about MPJ (Meters per Joule) since it is close to MPG - though the numbers would be tiny. Maybe km per GJ is more appropriate.
Obviously I’m biased because I have skin in the game but articles like this really do a disservice for getting maintainers paid, something the author purports to support, because it gives people yet another excuse not to fund maintainers and maintain the status quo. I have yet to see illustrative examples in posts like these that show well funded projects doing worse because they got money.
Longtermism: Good intentions and the rich created a dangerous creed
I found a great example to demonstrate. I asked how to transpile Lisp to C. It perfectly described what transpiling is, said (correctly) that not all Lisp structures will translate directly into C, so those parts of the code may be broken, then gave this method for transpiling:

sbcl --script example.lsp --output example.c

Now... that would be REALLY GREAT if it was true. But SBCL is not a transpiler (except for bytecode, but that's a little different), and this command will just error out. But boy, do I wish it was actually a thing!

As far as AI answers go, I would give it two thumbs up. However, the information is wrong, and so I must save my thumbs for another time.
Better off mailing them one at a time and calling them "toys".
I think, documenting requirements beforehand with high degree of detail might not be required soon, if GPT can quickly re-write the code upon request given changed requirements.
I absolutely have never put stack overflow code into a prodiction code base and I dont think Ive heard anyone talking about or seen anyone do that. I dont think that is typical all.

I use stack overflow to understand a concept or a technique frequently, but always type my own code from scratch.
Plenty of us coded before SO, but I think you're being too general. Using SO to see examples of syntax is completely different than copying a chunk/function/page of original code someone wrote to solve a problem.
Trump's Tarriffs (which Biden has continued) and having formerly major Chinese exporters like Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dauhua and such on the Named Entity List which blocks their hardware from import and starves them of USA encumbered chips (everything from TSMC, Intel, AMD, ARM, Nvidia, etc) and parts is a huge hit.

Huawei and ZTE can't build competitive 5G radios without chips from Taiwan, South Korea or the USA, all of which refuse to sell to companies on the Named Entities List that the USA maintains.

For Chinese origin electronics we also have to do due diligence now for many clients to show the companies that manufactured or are part of the supply chain for said electronics have no links to any named entities, otherwise the customer is violating the law :(
And even if not, you could "pony express" a route across the USA with locations that just have the trucks charged and ready to go.

Pull in, grab dinner while the crew unhooks your trailer and hooks it to another already charged semi, and then off you go.

Wouldn't work for owner-operators but a large enough line could do it if they wanted to for the climate/PR benefits.

Of course, that kind of hauling can be done by railroads, too.
