> I don't quite understand. In the case where the function is expecting a list, why would you want to execute the logic for "empty list" on an empty tuple?

Because for most functions that's not a relevant or useful distinction, in Python a tuple is an immutable list, both are sequences.

By mis-handling empty tuples you're just unnecessarily constraining the caller. Not only that, but you might also create an inconsistency which is hard for the caller to notice if your function only fucks up on empty collections.

In terms of discovery and wonder, I think Valheim did a good job of it in the general atmosphere and loop, but in terms of magic systems, not really. You have the Magika (or even Path of Exile) where spells have component parts and build into something larger, but there's not much mystery there.

A theme of a bunch of the comments is that the internet / audience makes this sort of thing impossible these days. One of my white whales for game design is figuring out if mystery, especially in multiplayer games, is still possible in a meaningful way.
For the benefit of those who aren't familiar: SRTM was the space shuttle radar tomography mission. 30m resolution is now available (I remember 30m being released for the first time in the 2000s sometime I think).
They could try not to be communists. They could ask, "what policies are making people want fewer children" and change those. They could stop thinking the unending growth is the goal.

Show HN: Dossier – A Headless CMS Toolkit
Society already has laws against murder, child endangerment, theft, abuse…

Making the use and possession of “druuuugggsss” illegal only further feeds the prison pipeline and is not what a nation state should be doing anyway.

What humans do in their own time to their own bodies should not be looked upon by a government as any sort of illegal at all.

Of course to “help” is the severe lack of mental health and general healthcare, a set of “spooky” marketing tactics decades long, and a for profit industry loving tired, exhausted, scared of prison (and each other) labor.

In terms of what corporations do: fuck every last one of them, regulate them to the top and put in prison the boards, shareholders, and supporters of those corporations who market to children/etc using the very same laws we already have regarding endangerment, etc.

The problem is that when convenient corporations are treated like they have morals and “good humans” behind them and when convenient they are treated like simple numbers on a spreadsheet… at fault for nothing.
From my perspective it was so hot for awhile and then substack just killed it with better everything.
It’s 100% a question of scale. And I don’t mean throughput, I mean domain and business logic complexity that requires an army of engineers.

Just as it’s foolish to create dozens of services if you have a 10-person team, you don’t really get much out of a service mesh if you only have a handful of services and not feeling the pain with your traditional tooling.

But once you get to large scale with convoluted business logic that is hard to reason about because so many teams are involved, the search for scalable abstractions begin. Service mesh then becomes useful because it is completely orthogonal to biz logic and you can now add engineers 100% focused on tooling and operations, and product engineers can think a lot less about certain classes of reliability and security concerns.

Of course in todays era of resume driven development, and the huge comp paid by FAANGs, you are going to get a ton of young devs pushing for service mesh way before it makes sense. I can’t say I blame them, but keep your wits about you!

> Some people are still gonna have to be locked up

The point is not that people do not need to be deterred, but that the nature of that deterrence and the policies related to locking people up must change with such a revelation.

Such a revelation would also explain rates of recidivism, and shine a light on how counterproductive our current policies most likely are.

As we learn more about the brain, some form of this is already playing out. Accused criminals have been exhonerated on account of tumors growing on their brains, the removal of which returned the individual to “normal”.

Tumors are obvious, but as we learn more, I suspect we’ll find that many forms of criminality may be treatable.
Hey HN,

I’ve been working on this for the last two years, and now it’s out. Dossier a toolkit for building headless CMSs, released under MIT license. It’s written in TypeScript and supports running the server in a browser, Node, Bun or Deno. The data is stored in SQLite or Postgres. It includes schema/type generation for TypeScript and GraphQL.

There’s a playground[1] to try it out in the browser and a getting started guide[2] if you want to run it on your machine.

There’s still a lot of work left to do, but I’m happy with the big strokes of the project. Please, let me know what you think!

Any reading of history indicates that people have gotten less violent and callous to suffering over time.

A human cashier makes a mistake and doesn’t ring up an item? They’ll get reprimanded.

An AI cashier does the same and all of a sudden it’s the fault of the human and is liable for prosecution. You should know better than to steal.

> When you place a fix into production, often it's the case you hope it resolves all issues and doesn't create new ones.

I hope not. Relying on "hope" when fixing prod is not a recipe for success in my book. It should ideally be possible to recreate the problem in a lesser environment, or at least get a level of comfort that fix will work based more on fact than "hope" before applying it.

Even then, if you are relegated to the level of hope and prayer when trying to handle an incident, it still doesn't mean you should close it unless you are *certain* it's fixed.

You can mark it as mitigated or fix applied, monitoring for xx period before marking as resolved or similar, surely.

No, I had an idea for using it to summarize news articles including an "objectivity bias" rating. I'm still playing with it but I'm not sure it's going to work because of it's tendency to avoid things it's programmed to avoid.

Identity is hard. What is the ID you'd mandate for every website on the internet? Your bank might use your email, but your retirement accounts probably use SSN. Your message board might use a made up handle (and you don't even want it to know an email associated with you). Modern services might be using a passkey/webauthn hardware device. Some sites even have multiple identity fields, like I have bank accounts that I have to specify id/email and type of account (personal, professional, etc.) to login. The point is there isn't any single concept of identification or principle that can work for everything on the web.
> given the revolution in recent years in codes of conduct and DEI, I suspect my odds are better with newer communities, as there are now plenty of "antibodies" out there.

A lot of that stuff can easily just enable a different set of broken stairs though.

Crafting a code of conduct such that it makes it easy to deal with both reactionary -and- wokescold flavoured bullies is something of an art form, and I've seen a number of communities manage to completely fail at one of the two albeit usually in a very well-meaning way.

Antibodies are great up until they give you an auto-immune syndrome, basically.

(I definitely saw the far right kook get defenestrated, though the community may still be sufficiently quokka to've let him sneak back in through a different door, I'm mostly an observer here - and mostly only looking at all because as a veteran code of conduct advocate I tend to find the various failure modes worth examining)
Spy satellites aren't invading sovereign airspace, but high altitude balloons are. There is a global agreement that nobody owns territory in space or on other planets than Earth.

They have occasionally mentioned that 40,000 feet is close enough to pick up communications signals that would otherwise not be available to satellites.
You’ve also got to be pretty miserable to get in that state in the first place. Maybe they are victims of abuse themselves or have untreated trauma/other mental health conditions.

Yes, this is the problem of the idea we can create an impartial unbiased AI. It will only lead to a specific lens of bias.

We only have biased observers to monitor and tweak the system. Attempts to counter the bias that already exists in information will only result in another layer of different bias.

Ironically, we have two major issues with AI. One in which it doesn't function as intended, which leads to the problems you are describing. However, even in the conditions of working as desired, it still leads to a lot of perplexing philosophical issues for society.

I've spent a lot of time trying to work through all of this and putting some thoughts into writing. So far, it has been a lot to contemplate.

Keep in mind that WHO recommendations go well beyond alcohol's role as a carcinogen. Alcohol has widespread and significant negative impacts across many of internal systems [1]. Even compared to "hard drugs", alcohol is a dangerous mind-altering substance with objectively high risk factors.

Drawing a threshold on a distribution is inherently arbitrary, but it's also a) necessary for clear public communication and b) able to be refined by quantitative risk assessment models. As we have been refining that threshold and learning more about alcohol's impacts, that threshold for an equivalent level of risk has been dropping - i.e. our understanding of the "safe" level of alcohol has been approaching zero as we add more data to the model.

The WHO is simply making the logical conclusion of this convergence to zero. Picking a non-zero threshold is simply not possible without significant risks. Given all the well-documented harms of alcohol, it's irresponsible to claim that there is any such thing as a "safe amount". So the public health message shifts from moderation to abstinence.

You can choose to ignore the recommendations; go ahead and drink if it makes you feel better. But you can't ignore the many significant negative impacts or hide behind the dubious concept of "safe drinking". You're poisoning your body for recreation - own it.

Why Invest in the Commercial Kitchen Space?
The author is grasping at straws.
I don't think it'll be a particular problem.

The original dataset, yes, would be subject to GDPR and the onus is on OpenAI to follow GDPR and delete any confidential information for which they do not use. The treatment is no different to that of web crawlers, is it implied that search engines are non -compliant?

The model itself can be argued to be outside the scope of GDPR as it contains anonymized data, the words merely have a higher probability that they will go together based on its past knowledge but it is not actually presenting the dataset information. It's no different to me inventing a person's name and birthday (John Smith, 1st April), there's a high probability that there's a John with a surname Smith and given the limited numbers of days in the year, there's likely a John Smith born on that day. It does not mean that a real life John Smith born on that day can claim my fictional person to be himself and claim GDPR noncompliance.

People who recovered from C19 many weeks ago and are no longer contagious can still test positive on a PCR test.

Catch C19, recover, get the sniffles in the next 2 months, get PCR tested, require a parent to take off work and the kid to sit out 10 days [possibly more than once] is not a reasonable policy IMO.

On top of that, they don't let you specifically log into an account. They let you type in an email address, which will either log into an existing account or create a new account. Better hope you use the same email for every site. Also better hope you're not trying to check if an account exists or not, because the process of checking will just create a new account if not.

Of course some might point out that trying to paint politics on top of "how far will we go in stretching the body" is futile and foolish.

"depends how much alcohol", he said, somewhat floppily.
As we've seen with the reactions of prominent crypto figures who've gotten robbed, approximately nobody really believes that the ledger is the final determiner of ownership. They don't say, "Well, other people own that money now," and move on. They tend get mad and call the cops, just like everybody else.

And as we're seeing in the great raft of crypto-related bankruptcies, judges don't take it seriously either. Just because somebody happens to hold the keys for tokens means very little to them. Something that appears quite palatable to the people who might get some of their investment back.

So in practice, it looks like digital ledgers are more of a "fantasy football" version of ownership tracking: taken very seriously by people who play the game while they're playing it, but not by anybody else, and also not when the game's over.

Password managers can kind of get you there half the time.

My password manager saves login URL, so if I click on an item it opens it and fills in login info. If it's on the same page I'm looking at it puts the fields in focus.

Where it fails is when websites implement separate pages for username and password (making me have to autofill twice), and where the login is behind a dropdown.

Depending on a browser and password manager, there must be some way to trigger it via keyboard shortcut.
I think the security of basic auth killed it off.

1. Usernames and passwords sent clear text in URLs.

2. Hijacking is worse than cookie hijacking because you get the permanent credentials with no way to force session invalidation

3. Credentials would be cached (and visible) in browser history

It was a byproduct of the early web and isn't fit for purpose.
What does that mean, though? Wouldn't they need an open source license for everything in BTStack except non-RP2040 drivers? There's a daemon, there's a "libusb", etc. This sounds like it'd require open sourcing practically all of BTStack, not just one driver?

If you can convince your business folks to run shit on the command-line then there is basically no need for services ever. I know it sounds insane but its how it was done in the old days and there really is only a false barrier to doing it again.

Hardware is hard. Manufacturers in China have a MOQ that tends to be high, and the chance of them screwing you is high.

And the process of hardware is harder. You have to handle bootstrapping, provisioning, firmware, updates, configuration, etc. You have to worry about the vendor substituting other parts in (yes, it happens more often than you'd think). Component failures. Heck, sourcing components is apparently a PITA.

Before, it used to be $1 in components = $10 in end-user cost. I think that multiple is smaller now.

But with all that said, hardware can make money. And it provides lock-in for you.

I'd love an article about how you got the hardware side up and running: finding a manufacturer, features, design, etc.

Especially I don't like being told to do redundant tasks like commenting obviously named functions.

The only thing I'd like to have in gofmt is what goimports does, sorting and dividing imports by local and remote.

What I absolutely hate is an enforced 80 char limit. I write on 4k, I can afford much wider, even when viewing on mobile.

You're welcome!

I think I mentioned this in another comment and certainly a ton over the years - but a lot of the magic of AC was that it was made by a bunch of people who had never made a game before, much less an MMO, and there were very few ingrained lessons, so we were foolhardy enough to just do things the way it felt we should, player behavior or other consequences be damned. It was built on hopes and dreams and naivete and that made it beautiful and flawed.

But also yeah, once something ships to players, it's now "theirs" and not "ours". We stood in pretty stark contrast to EQ's "you're in our world now" philosophy, again, for better or worse.

> Isolating and denying effective schooling to every kid who comes down with a one-day mild illness for ten days does not seem like a risk-proportionate response to me.

Example had COVID, not a one-day mild illness so it might affect other children worse than the kid. I'd like to know what the negative effect of that really is, my gut feeling is that it's zero. People often make it sound like they end up insufficiently educated and socially isolated which is bs in my opinion.
>Really? How would a classical computer create an emergent property like entanglement?

I'm not sure what you mean. A simulation produces the emergent properties of the simulated system by simulating the properties from which they emerge. I'd say that's more or less the point of simulation.
