We leased this one for a few months for a project. It works pretty well. We priced several competitors too. There's not a ton but there's a few.

My one point of feedback is that when you see the quickview of the user, it shows their karma. Part of the reason people enjoy HN is because Karma is not a huge focus. This extension puts it right at the forefront. I would much rather show a snippet of their "about".
"Could be" is the way we describe possibility in English. There may be an enormous amount of evidence that tuberculosis doesn't directly or indirectly cause bladder cancer. None of that evidence comes from the fact that vaccination against TB is effective against bladder cancer. That fact in isolation could obviously be used as supporting evidence for TB being the cause of bladder cancer.

Even in OSS it's wise to have some people steer the direction. I tried the game about eight years ago but it didn't run well on my laptop. I've tried to keep up somewhat but lost interest when it felt like they just added new features instead of polishing and improving core functionality.

I had a similar feeling with Black Mesa. At a certain point, it feels like they've worked so long on the project that they lost the original selling point. At what stage does it make more sense to just remake the game in the latest UE than offering a 20 year old game that still isn't close to being released.

I don't want to talk down on the project but it's a question I think about every time I see these types of products.
If you care, you'd extrapolate the 2 fatalities to how many would be if bikes were adopted in mass as a means of transport in the Washington state (comparably to cars).

The number of bike trips will not increase by 100x only, certainly by orders of magnitude more than that.

Now multiply the 2 fatalities considering 10K, 100K or even more bike trips.

Ebikes can reach and sustain higher velocities much more easily than normal bikes as well. If they were to be adopted in mass, I'd expect crash severity to worsen in general and fatality rates/trip to go up.

Canada (for example) got it through proximity to US, which did have a racial caste system. (Not to say that Canada doesn't have its own mixed history with racial issues, but that's another conversation.)
Even more than the complex prompts, they give the bot access to a variety of functions implementing primitive actions, which are crafted to give helpful hints if the bot is struggling. For example, the code for mining a block:

https://github.com/MineDojo/Voyager/blob/main/voyager/contro...

This function keeps a global count of how many times it's been called to mine a block that doesn't exist nearby, and will warn the bot that it should try exploring first instead.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with all that - it's an important research question to understand how much hand-holding the agent needs to be able to do these sorts of tasks. But readers should be aware that it's hardly dropping an agent into the world and leaving it to its own devices.

It's not just the issue of "what if they didn't have access to ChatGPT?"

Just as an example: ChatGPT is literally the world's biggest bullshitter. It vacuums up vast stores of "data" (note: NOT "knowledge"), and just pulls out words that it thinks could likely follow from previous words given a context.

Quite often is produces silly, or even dangerously wrong, answers. You need to be pretty well skilled in the art to catch it at its bullshit.

It's just like when you hire assistants to do something critical for you. You have to be able to verify their work, or you have to be able to trust them blindly.
I think I used to live at a place with a citron tree. I always thought they were lemons, but the pith was always much thicker and they tasted so much better than store bought lemons. Sometimes a hint of sweetness in them! I've always wanted to try a real citron to compare, but I don't know where I can even get them.

Zoom used to work in Wayland quite some time ago, then it started crashing on meeting join under Wayland, and it was still like that last time I tried it under 5.11.10. Then they finally implemented screen sharing properly in 5.10 or something, then in 5.12 they actively broke it again (popping up a message box saying it won’t work except under GNOME or something like that), so I downgraded to 5.11.10 and it’s fine again. I tried 5.13.0 and it was still broken. I haven’t tried upgrading since; maybe they’ve unbroken it again, one can always hope.

Anyway: Zoom 5.11.10 is working fine for me in all regards so long as I run it under XWayland. My ~/bin/zoom:

#!/bin/sh
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=
exec /usr/bin/zoom "$@"

I believe a shell alias would also work if that’s how you run things.

Minor suboptimalities in its window management and UI scaling compared to native Wayland under Sway, but nothing big, except for it only handling input and screen updates around once a second if you have any window (except the main one for some reason—but settings, a meeting, chat, participants, they’re all affected) open but not visible (e.g. as an inactive tab—tiled or floating is fine). Oh, and that I get REPLACEMENT CHARACTER from typing astral plane characters with my Compose key, which strongly suggests stupid UTF-16 stuff and I can’t remember if that happens under native Wayland anyway. Or the hidden window problem.
It was cheaper the last time I looked at it. $5.00/mo for Mozilla, and Mullvad is Euro5.00/mo.
Yes you can build your own, but it's tougher to get right than you might think. Those tiny robots are incredibly sensitive to the conditions of the maze, and you can get things wrong quite easily. You could build the whole thing to all the millimeter tolerances, then learn that oh no, your white paint actually has some undisclosed additives that absorb IR light instead of reflecting it, meaning you have to complete re-paint and re-sand all the walls in your 9-square-meter maze. Oops.

You can do it, but it's still quite tough; in many ways tougher and less fun than building the mouse.

Oh, I got bitten by that actually. I ended up just configuring Firefox since that was the main app I used, but most apps aren't Firefox and don't have settings for things that they would expect to be handled by your WM/DE/DM.
Correct me if I am wrong, but since not even spacetime can escape blackholes, even gravitational wave would get swallowed, wouldn't it? Of course, since we can't "point" gravitational waves in a certain direction, because of the rest of the wave traveling around the hole would basically propagate it even directly behind blackhole (from perspective of source), but that's because the wave goes around, not trough.

Or do grav waves really pass ~trough~ black holes?

I just looked them up and you are right. It varies from 5 cameras to hundreds of cameras. Interestingly though, I haven't seen any of them demo the continuous rotation through a wall effect that Sebastian shows here though which kind of makes the professional solutions feel like they have some room for improvement.
My biggest insight about recursion came in my graduate algorithms course. I had a great professor who was talking about dynamic programming. I think that most people can agree that DP is one of the hairier subjects. When I'm griding Leetcode I mostly used to skip these problems and then just hope in an interview I'm never asked about it.

My prof cleared everything up though. He said that DP is what naturally happens whenever you take a recursive algorithm and refactor it to put all the recursive calls into their own data structure. When you are doing recursive fibonacci, you are really just using the call stack as a linked list. So instead of making the recursive call, figure out how value N in the list relies on the previous values and then compute that directly.

For more complicated algorithms where the recursive call has N arguments, that means you need a N-dimensional array (worst case) to store your calls in.

After that lecture I was never scared of dynamic programming because I had a meta-algorithm to produce the DP solution.

1. Write a recursive algo (probably exponentially inefficent)

2. Figure out how to store recursive call data in a data structure

3. Figure out how to populate field (a,b) of the data structure, normally by combining/minimizing/maximizing (a,b-1), (a-1,b)

4. Figure out how to get the answer out of the data structure once you have filled it in
I bought a used Tesla Model 3. The person I bought it from bought it used as well. I'm the third owner. The battery capacity after 65k miles is 97% of original.

If we naively assume that every 21k miles driven drops 1% of capacity, then after another 1 million miles I'll be at 50% capacity. That'd still give me 4x the range I need on a daily basis.

Even if the rate of degradation were 2-3x my estimates, the battery in my car is more likely to allow my car to drive further than even the most babied, well taken care of, internal combustion engine ever could.

I'm a bit too certain with this phrasing. This should be theoretically the case given that vaccination decreases the odds of getting a chronic herpes zoster infection.

I have always wondered why the Southern Resident orcas in the Pacific Northwest aren't more skittish of humans. We captured them, killing many in the process, back in the 1970s.

> A vast majority of the Linux desktop ecosystem has been on NVIDIA graphics cards

Source? Nvidia's proprietary, closed drivers and the moving target that comes with that means I avoid Nvidia graphics hardware at all costs and I'd thought it was widely known their cards aren't great if Linux is the primary use for your hardware.

You're not wrong, but people have been trying to do this for a while now without much success.

So much that you can probably get a turing award by making a SAT solver that can be 100-1000x faster on a GPU than on a CPU.

Also that would lead to solving a bunch of NP complete problems 1000x faster, so you can see why that would be a big deal.
Both my Alma Maters had courses that used these extensively, and also planners like (Pl|Tr|L)ingeling. We also covered reducability and SAT in multiple courses in both.

These should also be taught in an advanced PL course, e.g liquid, dependent etc types.
I'm one of the many users who will take a mature, well tested product over one that's experiencing "Ongoing Development" and lacks many of the features they need.

Too much ink has already been shed around the faults of Wayland, but I'll put it pretty simply - The people on Wayland have no business designing user interfaces and are questionable at developer interfaces.
Mainline Chromium (and subsequently Electron) support for wayland has only really landed in the last year or so. I'm curious how long ago this trial of yours was?

> After reading your comment I dug around to see how many Chapman Stick players there were (What's the TAM for anything targeted at Stick players..if you pardon my startup-speak). The stick subreddit seems exceptionally small: 596 members. I'm guessing there are non-reddit niche community forums with much bigger numbers to boast of.

So, each Stick has a unique serial number. I got mine in 2021 and it's 6596. So that gives you an idea. I totally understand if the market isn't there.

I’m using “intelligent” in the “intelligent life” meaning, not the “how intelligent is this person” meaning. By this meaning, any reasonable person would realise it’s not crossing that threshold.

Where is this threshold? I don’t think anyone really knows yet. That’s why I don’t see a problem with “moving the goalposts,” because doing so is the best way to help us truly understand what it means to be an intelligent life form (artificial or otherwise).
This is the opposite of dangerous. This is, dare I say, good reporting. Twitter had a very public technical glitch and the next day the head of engineering resigns, there is an obvious connection that can be drawn. If news outlets don't make obvious connections, governments and business are allowed to frame things however they want.

Journalists are not courts, they do not and should not have to have a policy of "innocent until proven guilty". They should aspire to narratives that are based on a preponderance of evidence.

>and I had to troubleshoot audio issues on it, and on Windows laptops at work, but never on Linux (pipewire, onboard / USB / Bluetooth audio).

Funny, it's always been the other way around for me.

My Ubuntu 22.04 at work keeps randomly switching the default audio output to the headphone jack of the machine and off my Bluetooth headphones leaving me without sound in my headphones until I go to the settings and switch it back to Bluetooth. Never had such issues with Windows, it's always been rock solid in this regard.

Would you mind sharing the exact audio issues you had with Windows?
Fair point. On my part, I like to think of them as "ever-green" projects. So they're never "done", they just keep evolving at whatever rate the community can manage, and people check out and check in once in a while to see where it's at.

I'm surprised they don't have the "lock fold" or "Nakamura Lock" design. When I was younger, that was the most consistent design for a good plane. Not always the best, but never the worst. Somebody talented could fold up a dart to beat it on distance, or a glider to stay up longer, but everybody could make a decent "lock fold".

> - Publishing wrong answers to a previous exam could confuse students who were simply looking up old exams to study.

In any decent institution which does exams, an example exam sheet with questions similar to what you’re going to get, or even one of actual old exams, is usually published for just this purpose.

Sniffing around the sites the express (or commonly agreed upon) purpose of which is enablement of cheating, on the other hand, reveals the intent.

What I really wanna get into: the cognitive dissonance of being a programmer and an AoEII ultra at the same time.

Game mechanics do have a certain objective truth to them. They are also pieces of software, they follow a lot of the same rules as Gmail and Instagram and whatever. As a matter of objective reality: when your game does not aspire to specifically be clunky - this distinction is sometimes called "QWOP" - it seems valid to say, okay, this pathfinding is the word you used. I have the wisdom to not use that word you used in this forum to describe something people feel ultra about. But it is true.

People feel so strongly about bugs and clunk in their social media YouTube drip. The same ADHD personalities love clicking around villagers! I mean what a "something" piece of gameplay.

I wonder how to harness the resources poured into something like 0AD to make "Better AoEII" or "Better AoM." I'm not sure how often that question is asked and how it is answered. That's why this cognitive dissonance matters.
It's not quite the same thing - it's under oath, rather than public speech - but in the Alex Jones, Sandy Hook libel case, the Judge Gamble admonished Jones:

“You believe everything you say is true, but your beliefs do not make something true,” Gamble said. “That is that is what we’re doing here. Just because you claim to think something is true does not make it true. It does not protect you. It is not allowed. You’re under oath. That means things must actually be true when you say them.”

Quoted here and elsewhere: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/alex-jones...

I'm not a lawyer and don't know American libel law so I can't speak to that. I will say there's a big difference between using "allegedly" and "believe". Belief in what you say being your opinion is implicit (unless, of course, you're lying). You have no access to facts outside your opinion. It's the nature of your statement which indicates whether it's a statement of fact or opinion, not whether you say "in your opinion" or not. "Allegedly" has a very different purpose; it imputes the statement of fact to someone else. Someone else has stated (in their opinion) a fact; they alleged it. Rather than qualifying a statement as a belief, it qualifies it as the truth of it being someone else's responsibility.
I do love their use of `bot.chat()` as, like, throwing an exception to the AI. maybe this finally gives developers an incentive to document their code and throw intelligible errors - the machines need it to figure out what they're doing wrong!

No? From the article:

> we identified a gap in GCP’s security layer that was created for SQL Server. This vulnerability enabled us to escalate our initial privilege and add our user to the DbRootRole role, a GCP admin role.

So Google took proprietary software not designed for this use-case and built their own security layer on top of it and ended up with bugs.

Of course that's an issue with the service. Presenting it as anything else than an issue in Cloud SQL seems disingenuous.
