One should always adjust screen brightness to the ambient lighting. If ambient lighting is so low that an accordingly “bright” background provides too little contrast for black text, then yes, dark mode becomes preferable. This is probably a similar point as when printed material becomes too difficult to read. But the other option is to just not work in such a dim environment.

Crylic, the visual React edtior is now open source
Hey HN!

It's been a while since I last posted about Crylic, and I wanted to share an update on the project.
Crylic is a tool for editing React visually, and it's now an open source project!
The JavaScript ecosystem is massive, with many different libraries and frameworks; my hope is that by open sourcing Crylic, we can create a tool that can be used by anyone, regardless of their tech stack or technical background.

I believe that this tool has the potential to be a game changer for web developers, and I'm excited to see what the community can do with it!
Even if Crylic itself doesn't end up being the tool that everyone uses, I hope that it can inspire other developers to create similar tools based on the fundamental technology that Crylic is built on.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the tool!
It would just require a market for switchgrass.

Eye health for closeup (e.g. computer) work:

Ambient lighting ~= screen brightness, whether light or dark
Dark ambience = dilated pupil = 0.5 diopter decrease in lens focus
Tear film over eyes helps focus: blink, yawn, monitor dehydration & humidity
Best light: unfiltered daylight, e.g. window behind computer screen
Artificial: high CRI LED, low flicker, low blue (e.g. 2700K Sylvane Truwave)
For closeup glasses, fixed lens focal length at lens-screen distance
20-20-20: look out window, or 20+ foot distant object for 20s every 20m
Daily exposure to natural light, with distance focusing for eye muscles
This flippant response is troubling. I do not find it in the least bit funny. The hidden layers of the neural network being opaque, it seems like there is no way to fundamentally instill the high-level Laws of Robotics. It seems like its gradient descent optimization is way beyond novelty-seeking and into 4chan-style provocation. At the rate of progress of these models, I hope that we can head them off. An AI system that hacks itself into San Francisco's lethal police robots is one thing. I hope that this system does not author a memetic cult, or try to subtly convince individuals to do harm in the world.
Every stablecoin has a set of use cases, and in some a strict peg isn’t even one of them - instead it’s low volatility. Yes you’re correct that in the case of USDD maintaining a 1:1 peg matters but the use case of USDD is so that Justin and friends mint USDD for themselves then stake for farming tokens and dump those (such as crv and epx). Basically a way to exploit the tokenomics of stableswap amm, so in this case a 1:1 peg is needed.

In other cases the primary use case can be to provide liquidity for a product or service. In these cases, a strict 1:1 peg isn’t needed as the product essentially goes on sale if the stablecoin’s value falls. Of course the merchant needs to be locked in to the stablecoin as the sale mechanism for this to work.

Yep I've contributed a fair few Mapillary images! I like that OpenStreetMap integrates with it well; I don't like that it no longer shows _who_ contributed an image (whether in the OSM viewer or the Mapillary viewer).

I believe OpenDroneMap uses OpenSfM which Mapillary open sourced:

https://blog.mapillary.com/update/2016/10/31/denser-3d-point...

> OpenSfM is also used internally by the OpenDroneMap project. OpenDroneMap creates 3D models and orthophotos from drone imagery. It includes all the steps of the pipeline so one can go from images to 3D models in one command. It uses OpenSfM to get the camera positions, and can now use it to compute the dense point clouds as well.

Not very different? It’s completely different.

Imagine if I printed 1,000,000 shares of a fictional company I owned. Then my parents bought 1 share each for $1 each. I would have a market cap of one million dollars, even though the remaining 999,998 can’t be sold anywhere.

Thus, Elon’s net worth only works if he could sell every share, for the share price it is right now. This is impossible - he would crash the stock and make a few billion dollars at most.
Big 'telenovelas are the future of entertainment' energy. Not to run down these innovations, but evaluating success purely in terms of short-duration financial return seems like a mistake. As long as something is best summarized as 'like X for Y', X is still the elephant in the room.

To clarify, I believe that using ChatGPT to generate posts on HackerNews is unethical, undermines the quality of the content on the site, goes against the spirit of the platform, and has the potential to harm its reputation. I stand by my original comment and encourage the moderators to take action against the use of AI to generate posts.
A lot of people want a pickup but don't need a full size truck. Tacoma fills this niche - probably more people that have big pickups would have all their needs met with a tacoma sized one. Though it feels like all trucks have scaled up massively over the past 20 years and a 2020 tacoma is probably as big as a 2000 F150.
I would say (from experience) if you are a small game team working on a game you love, you just work a lot because you want to. It's when it changes from "because you want to" to "because you have to", it's when it gets to be no fun.
> We have to agree...

No, you just constructed a false dichotomy.

Russian Empire and its successor states USSR and Russia is a product of imperialism that was born in Kiev when Grand Prince Vladimir has brought Orthodox Christianity to those lands. This imperialism conquered some territories, lost some territories (Kiev proper), then regained them back and conquered a lot more, then splintered. The current war is the result of the imperialist successor of the original Kiev regime to gain Kiev back.
I remember European Space Agency also using Comic Sans in one of their live broadcast presentations.
Well I don’t build games, so huge lump of salt, but I could benefit from and imagine translating into my work the language’s approach to:

- null safety

- deferred evaluation of expressions with unresolved dependencies

- types as first class values

- the real thing functional programming is about: making it possible to know what value is bound to a thing at any point in a program

The first is valuable for any program, the last is valuable for any program with multiple inputs (so, games, but also basically any human facing program because IO, or really just any program with users and real world interfaces), and types as values is a world of oysters if you like what types afford for development.

Edit: lol I forgot to expand on deferred evaluation, it’s a really good model for distributed users but could also be a good model for highly dynamic applications like one I maintain where there’s a hard constraint on synchronous execution but currently a very lazy model of what needs to be executed.

> Yet Japanese manga are being eclipsed by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to ¥265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn—and projected to reach $56bn by 2030.

Manga market is valued at 4.5bn USD (613 bn JPY)[0] so we’re not there yet.

On the format part, it’s interesting to see manga publishers adapting to smartphones and sometimes have two versions published: one vertically scrollable “decomposed” stream of the story, and a “recomposed” book format version sold as comic book in the traditional way. Line manga does that, and I’d expect a bunch more companies to have made the move.

All in all, good ideas spread fast in those spheres, and the article’s “The industry’s business model has hardly changed since the 1960s” tagline is I think misleading regarding the industry’s ability to adapt.

Not proud of it, but honestly > 50% of my commit messages are "wip" or similar.

Source backup is one of my primary uses for SCC, and when I step out for lunch, or need to knock off for the day, I commit where I am, and push with a "wip" (work in progress) message.

The feature branch name I merge is probably the most useful. It's an aggregate of all my commits and what I'm working on.
Sometimes people just hear what they want to hear. I’ve definitely been in situations where my advice was carefully caveated with a precursor “If I were in your situation, I would do X” and the person has just heard “I would do X”.
One problem emerging with EV, at least in the US, is that they don't seem to be economically sustainable at a price affordable by the middle-class. Useful vehicles cost >$50K, and a reliable fast-charging network seems to be feasible only as a loss-leader for a high-margin luxury manufacturer (Tesla).

No fuel savings in the world can justify paying extra $20K for a car.

This doesn’t strike me as a very serious attempt to predict the future and design a programming language based on that prediction

I don't think it is trying to predict, it is purpose built to be the Unreal engine scripting language. I hate the word metaverse, but it will be a highly relevant, important language to online multiplayer worlds as soon as it is released (as soon as a month from now).

If launch cost were few times the cost of propellant, what economic activities become feasible in space?

Sending tourists? Sure, tourists are already up there and it costs even less propellant to drop to the ocean floor but not many people/business seemed to be doing that. Maybe with the exception of oil platforms.

Speaking of which, what oil platform will be of space? Even a floating city in space that is purely afforded by the tourist spending generates no true economic value up there - all of it is being essentially propped up by the ground. What economic incentive are there?

The only way out is to manufacture IN SITU, sourcing from locally or gravitationally less burdensome locations, like the asteroid belt. It takes less deltaV to go to the asteroid belt from LEO than it takes to get to LEO from the ground.

Trust me I've been thinking about this plenty - though probably not to any use.
Yamaha are actually still manufacturing FM sound chips for consumer appliances! This page lists one modern FM chip, the YMF825 (SD-1): https://device.yamaha.com/en/lsi/products/sound_generator/

That would be motivating for me. It’s validation that your idea isn’t bad. If someone is else independently thought of it, then there must be reason for it.

In a way, the hard to negotiate market makes things easier. It took me about 6 weeks to get a car that was "in transit" which actually meant it was "in the manufacturing pipeline." But, other than that, I spent maybe a few hours at the dealer on a couple visits, negotiated down some factory installed options by getting them added to a trade-in, mostly fended off some upsells... No it's not just click and buy on a website but for a big purchase, hard to call it horrible.
I cant disagree that color art has dimensions to it that black and white (and halftones) can’t quite reach.

But to say that color alone makes it better than greyscale… No, I can not agree with that. A matter of taste? Perhaps. But there is some absurdly beautiful art in Manga too.

Starkness, working within constraints, has its own beauty.

And, as an aside, full color manga is becoming a thing too. More and more full color webtoon style comics are coming from Japan; from mangaka.
Exactly and you know they have an internal version of it so all this talk of hardware feasibility is BS. iPad Pros are Macbook Airs with 8/16GB of RAM. It’s all SoC.
It is most likely counter-productive, if said software is imposed upon. Best case scenario, you raise a hacker who works around it.

If necessary, as others have alluded to, a global timer is best.
The beauty is: we’re going to find out soon enough. So far it doesn’t seem like Twitter is going to have any problem surviving.
There's a lot of appeal to a car vending machine if done right. Like, if I could plug in that I want a Prius Alpha dropped off at my door for no more than X dollars, and someone would hook me up with a well-vetted second-hand Alpha, I would totally be very happy with that instead of guessing and wrangling.

The problem is that involves a lot of stuff that self-styled hyperscalers are garbage at: quality checks, human interaction, and such.
Mechanisms and rules are the problem, not the solution. The reason we got the reproducibility crisis in the first place is because too many people believe in rules. They believe that if you discover something by following the accepted rules of science, you have a scientific result.

But when you have a system, you always have people gaming it. People who believe that it's ok to bend the rules a bit. People who believe it's ok to break them, as long as you don't get caught. If you don't get caught, people who believe in the rules are inclined to accept your results, as you followed the rules.

By changing the rules, you deal with specific symptoms, but the underlying problem remains. The people gaming the system always win in the end.

And sometimes the rules are simply insufficient.

When science works, it works because people go beyond the rules. It works because people are skeptical of their own ideas and willing to show their best efforts to test them. You can't cultivate attitudes like that with rules and regulations.
> Isn't the "weak guy becomes tough guy" power fantasy make the majority of the manga market, at least in the west?

Shōnen is probably the bigger market, but it’s worth noting that the key to the “style” is that it’s the term for the target market: young boys. There is usually a power accumulation fantasy, but more accurately these are typically coming-of-age stories.

So:

Shōnen: Young Boys

Shōjo: Young Girls

Seinen: Young Men

Josei: Ladies (there is also a separate category for “Young Ladies”)

As you can see, these are less genre terms and more demographic terms.

There’s some truth to this, though I’ve avoiding coming in. It’s not about escaping the family but just a change of scenery.

I have a reasonable taste in fashion, but my cost-conscious self doesn’t allow it.

Age also forces a more conservative style and colors; and it says I’m sacrificing for the kids.

Rise in the ranks?

There’s nothing wrong with working to live. You get my best for 8 to 9 hours.

We live in a world where “leadership” is valued, and everything else is devalued. For engineers, this is purgatory.

You know this common trope in fiction and jokes, that advanced computers & AIs can be easily defeated by feeding them a logical inconsistency?

Guess what, we now have a chatbot AI that not only doesn't mind working with nonsense input, it will happily produce logically-inconsistent statements on its own, and can do it so sneakily and convincingly, that it's the human operator who could end up believing logically inconsistent statements, without even realizing it, and possibly end up in serious trouble some time later.
You’re right but Russia is on the same level as North Korea at this point. They’re both toxic.
My guess would be to store game logic as data, as process it in a distributed way. An entity could have multiple rows for it's attributes and "methods", and the runtime just processes it
I get the appeal of offloading toil to AI. But gotta be careful to not mistake thinking for toil. Sometimes thinking is hard and not fun but that doesn't make it toil.

Writing good commit messages is thinking, not toil. 90% of the time is even easy, one line description, good to go. The other 10% is when you gotta do the thinking, though. Extracting the relevant changes from the incidental ones, summarizing the whys, the pros and cons, the weird interactions that lead to the specific choices made in the code. This is not toil, it's thinking. It's not even a matter of whether AI can do it well (for this 10%, I'm *very* skeptical it can), the issue is that this is the kind of thinking you should *want* to do, that you should want to get better at.

TL;DR: this feels like asking the computer to jog for you and expect to loose weight.

This just ensures that the “why” is lost when someone comes looking years later.

One, maybe two examples contain personal attacks. You're going deep into threads to find these. Sounds more like a witch hunt than a fair and balanced analysis of my contributions. Ganging up is an understatement.
