Just have every function be a logic app that no one understands and costs $25 a month to run. What could go wrong?
Isn’t this very simple?

It’s just basic supply and demand. Travelers are already exhausted from travel so they are willing to pay high prices for small comforts. Also, some travelers are business travelers and their company foots the bill.

If all travelers collectively stopped buying these foods, the price would drop. But people keep buying them, understandably.
I don’t know this spec but my skimming the DTN webpage and the SPP gives me the impression that this architecture is in part designed to insure end-to-end established logical circuits, so in context of [censorship/access-denial] I don’t know if it is a good fit.

NASA’s HDTN [1] says it is based on IETF RFC 5050 [2]. Have to read that to understand privacy and censorship implications, specially the Bundle Security Protocol [3]. But just skimming the index in those specs reinforces my impression that this architecture can lockdown/lockout at administrative points.

[1]: https://github.com/nasa/HDTN

[2]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5050/

[3]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6257

—- from RFC 6257 —-

The stressed environment of the underlying networks over which the Bundle Protocol will operate makes it important for the DTN to be protected from unauthorized use, and this stressed environment poses unique challenges for the mechanisms needed to secure the Bundle Protocol.

Furthermore, DTNs may very likely been deployed in environments where a portion of the network might become compromised, posing the usual security challenges related to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

-- end --

& p.s. RFC 4838 mentions "optional" security protocols (such as rfc 5050). There is also a "registration" protocol (to allow connection continuity over process restarts) "that may fail".

I have to think about this but atm not 100% whether these requirements are inherent to the problem domain (overlay, mix of networks, partitions, ..)
Hell, even CSGO is running on DX9.
Is there a formal name to describe incumbents pushing for regulations in order to keep out new competitors? Something more specific than just “anti-competitive, monopolistic,” etc. This seems like such a common tactic that I’d expect there to be academic studies about it.
I see a few problems with that. For example that we can freely act and think in reality but cannot in (non-lucid) dreams. Things like meditation seem more convincing.

Though it is an interesting thought experiment, which implies that we evolved much farther than necessary for dreaming simply because the environment outside dreams as an energy source is so competitive, to a point we're now able to create different kinds of alternate realities as well. Which as so often leads to questions like the purpose of our existence.

To me the idea that dreams exist in order to let the brain filter out unimportant experiences from the day before - or highlight important ones - seems more plausible, especially considering sleep deprivation can lead to hallucinations and more, I don't think this can be explained purely with other processes like the self-cleaning mechanisms of the brain during sleep.
Maybe, but this list is meant to be personalized to myself. Many have pointed out me missing the ice ages or all the major extinction events or whatever. I've only included events that I fully understand and provide meaningful context to me. If I had a GitHub readme, it'd inevitably turn into a very massive list and there's already Wikipedia pages that have done this more effectively

Instead what I hoped to inspire is for people to keep their own personal lists with items they find provide meaningful context. It's quite gratifying to watch it grow over time and also fully understand each entry

It’s a little silly, but it avoids the complexity of the car needing to describe every feature to CarPlay. It’s very hard to create an abstraction that allows for any capability, setting, message to be displayed and interacted with.

For instance, some 4x4’s have 2D inclinometers. Modern trucks have all sorts of crazy optimizations for towing.

Requiring CarPlay to understand and adopt new car-specific features gets crazy.

Making CarPlay a system that runs apps provided by the car is also crazy complex.

I have no doubt we’re heading that direction, but it is such a more complicated system for marginal benefit that it’s not surprising we’re stuck at a plateau where it works for 80% of scenarios.

Yes, you are still assuming the odds currently.

We just returned from Cancun, where we toured the ruins of Tulum. The maya apparently had folded books, which out of thousands only 3 remain. To see them, you have to travel to Madrid, Paris or Dresden. Apparently the rest were burned by Spanish when they arrived in late 1580. Somehow I was overwhelmed with a huge sense of loss when I heard this. Knowledge from around 3000 bc to 1580 or so just burned.
Expense/Transaction Categorization App
I would initially do this manually using spreadsheets and thought others may need something similar.

You are required to upload a CSV bank statement then you can categorize your transactions based on keywords and the totals will be summed up for you.

You can also download the category information as a CSV as well as the edited transactions.

The categories and their keywords will be saved in browser cache so you won't need to re-specify them in future.

Preferably use this webapp on a desktop or large format display.

Let me know what you think :)
If it’s proven that is bad for them, I would not be so opposed. Same with alcohol or tobacco.

B category visas certainly allow you to remotely carry out your normal work responsibilities while you’re in the country. Just think about it rationally, do you really think business travellers who come to the US to attend a meeting are expected to neglect all non-meeting related responsibilities for the entire duration of their trip? Do you think that it’s illegal to reply to emails while you’re on holiday? Do you think it’s illegal to sit on the beach writing a book while you’re on holiday?

The restrictions on work for temporary entrants are to protect job opportunities available to legal residents. Doing remote work for you job back home doesn’t threaten that. There are 10s of millions of people who enter the US on B category visas every year. If any of this was illegal there would be no shortage of case law to support this interpretation.
Our journey embracing Dagger so far at Flipt, and how much we love it.
I think when they said important, they meant distinct or unique. For example, Vin Diesel driving muscle cars is the "important" part of the fast and furious movies, the city/plot/most of the supporting characters are details that could be simplified and reconstructed. An algorithm that generated FF movies could mostly hallucinate silly reasons for Vin Diesel to drive cars and shoot guns, with little real coherency or consistency and I bet the fanbase would love it.

In the context of video, that means not spending bits on things like wall textures, plants, buildings, crowds, details of misc objects, etc.

It wasn't just Patton, there were a lot of other psychotic generals high up in the U.S. command structure like Curtis LeMay (inspiration for Jack D. Ripper) who wanted to go fully off leash in fighting communism, use nukes in Korea, etc. In the end we did use biological weapons and kill 5% of North Korea's civilian population, so one could argue that besides "no nukes" there wasn't all that much restraint in the end after all.

> The best solution is probably to store the current HP as a percentage of the max, because then you never have to rescale it in the first place.

Doesn't this solution make the more common calculations more expensive, complicated, and error-prone to make one rare calculation easier? It seems like far more of the operations on the unit's current HP will be "gets damaged by X hp" or "gets healed by X hp", both of which would require the equivalent of the above conversion to establish a result.
Ask HN: Why call it an AI company if all it does is call open AI API?
Not being a hater since I also leverage open ai api heavily in my projects but to call it AI project would be silly.

It’s just like building on top of AWS or GCP.

Open AI is an AI company. Extending LLMs projects like memory for chat gpt etc are AI projects.

Some two minute UI that makes a call to open ai to show you “As a large language model …” is not impressive and NOT an AI company.

Isn’t it a lie basically to claim so? Or am I missing something.

In my case I’m building a dev tool that uses open ai product in the workflow. My product is NOT an AI company. It’s a dev tool for app developers.

ESL btw.
> Why Does a Plastic-Wrapped Turkey Sandwich Cost $15 at the Airport?

Despite the "port authority" rules on 'street pricing', the real reason is lack of competition.

A single vendor receives the food contract for the airport, and they now have monopoly positioning and a captive audience. When business X is the only seller, and when the customers are held captive and unable to "go elsewhere" [1] then prices will naturally rise to the maximum the captive audience is willing to pay.

[1] How many air travelers are willing to exit the security perimeter, to then need to take a cab to somewhere (most airports are not located near dense shopping/restaurant areas) to purchase food, to then have to go back through security to return to their flight? And what few even have enough time between flight legs to even consider that "go outside the airport for food" trip as even possible? Plus by the time the "cab fee" is factored in, even if they could find the identical sandwich for 5.50 on the outside, the $10 + tip or more cab fee there and back would make the sandwich $15 or more in the end anyway.

Why It’s Time for a Worldwide Lights-Out Program
There are two problems with the `decimal` type: it's not IEEE-754 compliant, and it is 16 bytes, which prevents atomic reads/writes (without locks).

This is a problem in one of my company's applications, as we have a background thread doing work entirely with `decimal` objects, but providing a readout for the GUI necessitates a lock on every write (even if never read), and another for the read by the GUI. There's barely any overhead (nanoseconds worth), but the logic to work around it is a pain, and, if you forget to actually use a lock, good luck with that bug.

.NET 8, however, will introduce[0][1] proper IEEE-754 decimal float types, including `Decimal32` and `Decimal64` which will allow atomic reads/writes.

When do road workers get called into diffusing situations where they have to think quickly to save another life?
Sure, that's the legal system which is judging the case, which we are not part of.

From an article:

> Footage retrieved by police from Millennium Tower shows Nima Momeni getting out of a white BMW Z4 after arriving at the high-rise at 8:31 p.m., according to court records. A little more than four hours later, at 12:39 a.m., Lee arrived at the tower.

> Shortly after 2 a.m., both Lee and Nima Momeni were seen on camera taking an elevator to the building's lobby before getting into the suspect’s BMW and leaving.

> Additional footage obtained by police shows Lee appearing to be stabbed under the Bay Bridge on Main Street, the documents say. The footage allegedly shows a BMW and the red glow of tail lights, suggesting the vehicle was parked. Based on the clothing they were wearing when leaving Millennium Tower, police believe Lee and Nima Momeni were the two people seen standing outside of the car.

> At one point, the pair move closer together before Lee walks away, appearing to be wounded. Nima Momeni allegedly walks to a fence—which is where police found a silver and black knife, the suspected murder weapon—before getting back in the BMW and speeding away.

> Lee was stabbed three times—once in the hip and twice in the chest, according to court records. One stab wound penetrated his heart and killed him. Police found what they believe to be the murder weapon, a 4-inch knife, in a nearby parking lot with blood on it.

> “The defendant not only drove victim to a secluded area in the opposite direction of his hotel, but also brought a kitchen knife with him,” prosecutors said in court records. “Defendant did not use some type of pocket knife, but a cooking knife from an apartment kitchen. This was a planned and deliberate attack.”

All this could very well be deepfakes I guess. Even if he's proven guilty you could say the same thing, because innocent people have been proven guilty in the past. So basically we can never ever assume who did the murder?
I had a year in school where everyone became obsessed with chess. The teacher allowed kids to play chess who finished their work before everyone else was done. Haven’t thought about that in years.
What is required when using Unreal Blueprints is game development domain knowledge, which makes sense for all those tools, doesn't make them less no-code.

To use Houdini effectively, you need to know vfx and a bunch of other domains, just like you need to understand shaders if you're gonna use the shader nodes in Blender.

All of those things can be achieved with coding as well, and that's the difference. One you write code, the other you don't. Both are backed by code, obviously, but it's hidden from the user but usually extensible by code.

> best possible compression

This is a common incorrect assumption. You have to balance ratio with speed, otherwise you end up with something that spends more time decompressing than actually downloading, as is literally the case today with XZ. this is why alternatives like Zstandard are getting popular. 9 times faster decompressing for 10% worse ratio.
Around the same speek but I pay 30 GBP per month
Considering that until 20 years ago (before switching to CFL) I had to change a few bulbs every year and now, after almost 10 years after switching to LED lamps I did not have to replace any of them yet, I believe that their effect on the environment is less than that of previous technologies, even when not counting the energy savings.

I have worked in semiconductor device manufacturing, so I am much more aware of the quantities of materials and energy that goes into them than most.

Except for special applications like solar panels, most semiconductor devices are very small (much smaller than their visible packages) and they form a very small fraction of a complete electronic device. In many cases a low-tech device and a high-tech device of similar size may have similar environmental impacts, determined more by the amount of copper and other metals and of plastic and glass, than by the types of semiconductor chips that might be included in them.

The only solution for the environmental impact of industrial manufacturing would be legislation that would make a list with chemical elements that are less abundant and/or more difficult to extract or to dump without environmental damage and which would mandate that they must be used in closed circle.

That means that for any industrial product that would contain some of the listed elements, the manufacturing company or another company contracted by them would have to design a process for recovering those elements from the finished product, and not only, like it is done now, the manufacturing process that converts the raw materials into the finished product.

To receive the license to sell any such product, the manufacturer should have to demonstrate that the recycling process exceeds some recovery efficiency mandated by law, e.g. 90%.

The selling price of all affected products should include the cost of the recycling process, not like the fake prices of today, when many people enjoy what look like cheap products, but that is only because someone else will have to pay in the future for the consequences of how they have been made.

Until such laws are enacted everywhere, any other measures just delay the undesirable outcome.
"Bring your food" policy is becoming a thing
Personally I think what private companies are doing in that department is more egregious than what governments (even other governments) are doing.

Just pick up a mobile phone and start grabbing random games and apps and look at how they're built. They're all Skinner box devices built using the same control techniques as slot machines to suck people in and gradually addict them and then get them to make endless purchases or invite other people to the app. It's really incredibly toxic.

Then you have social media whose weighting and manipulation of content to "maximize engagement" drives not only social media addiction but a host of mental health problems across our entire culture including among the young.

If governments did half of this they'd be compared to Nazis.
If you read the article (you should) you'll note that the shops with the concession do not have the freedom to arbitrarily set such high prices (which would make it that simple), and that the Port Authority who is supposed to ensure that prices adhere to the set guidelines, is apparently not doing its job and is withholding documents that can proof this despite these documents generally being considered open information for citizens to request.
I'm not so sure that's true. I simultaneously see people say:

> Nintendo needs to stop hurting ROM sites for games older than 20 years. There's little profit to be made from such old titles.

As well as:

> Why did Nintendo create the NES Classic? You can do the same for far cheaper with a Raspberry Pi. And why are there NES games locked away behind an online subscription? I can play them on my phone for free.

There are definitely many, many reasons to be unhappy with current copyright law. But claiming that Nintendo stands to gain nothing from retaining rights to their ROMs is not a valid critique, and does not pave the way for honest discourse.
It’s tangential, but I don’t know how physicists understand the “why is there something rather than nothing?” question. At best, it’s quantification without a predicate. At worst, it’s metaphysical gobbledygook of the same variety that physicists constantly deride philosphers for.
I know that Von Braun expected humans to set foot on Mars by the late 1970s. If Von Braun thought that was possible it certainly was, if not for the pivot in budget that occured under Nixon.

For better or worse we're seeing a resurgence in privately funded space exploration which may be the key to making it happen this time.

Can't speak for game development but in film (specifically VFX) the coding side can get rather involved. In a large studio your pipeline will hinge on dozens of in-house Python scripts or even tools in their own right. Often they'll have their own data access logic for working with databases, asset management tooling or production data APIs. That they're loaded as Maya/Houdini/Nuke plugins is incidental at that point.

It's no coincidence that your most effective TDs will also be strong coders, and that some may even come from a more traditional software background.
