Republicans in U.S. could blow up the world economy any hour now, seeing as there is no debt ceiling agreement to vote on or debate, yet.

That said, I'm still feeling the FOMO (again) too.
Blue whales are usually loners and thus not capable of planning and inflicting damage like a pack of sea wolves.

Blue whales are usually also very calm and do not have teeth (They can still be aggressive in defending themselves or their calves against orcas, who do sometimes hunt Blue whales)

It isn't. "Most of these answers were not just wrong, but obviously wrong", according to the teacher. The chances of picking the worst possible answer is lower than 0.2. If the .01 threshold is fair? It isn't if you assume that someone tried to pass the test by filling out the whole thing at random. If the students tried to pass by choosing the correct answer, >= 19 obviously wrong answers out of 45 seems fair enough.

Show HN: I made an in-browser code editor with code replay and REPL
I made a Logicboard.com — A collaborative code editor with code-replay feature.

Code-replay lets you run the coding session like a movie, I wrote a blog post on how I implemented this: https://logicboard.com/blog/code-replay

You can try out the demo here: https://logicboard.com/demo/:replay

And play around with the code editor here: https://logicboard.com/demo/

Logicboard also has an REPL shell, just type "start()" and hit enter in the output area.
From the README, the author has great ambitions. More power to him! I wonder if he has read https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope.... ? ;-) { I especially like that he chose Nim, but really any such project is commendable. }

> there is no indication Google intends to make their chips available outside of GCP.

1. You can buy mini versions of their chips through Coral (coral.ai). But yea, they’d never sell them externally as long as there exists a higher-margin advantage to selling software on top of them, and chips have supply constraints.

2. Google can sell VMs with the tensor chips attached, like GPUs. Most organizations with budgets that’d impact things will be using the cloud. If Apple/MSFT/AWS/Goog/Meta start serious building their own chips, NVidia could be left out of the top end.
"I'm convinced that when the dust has settled and historians look back to decide on THE point in time at which we achieved AI or even AGI, that time will not be in the future, but in the past."

If historians are looking back to decide the point, by definition doesn't it have to be in the past? Historians looking back to the future doesn't make sense...
Great idea. Yeah, that could be done.

First pass would be to bundle the LEDs based on their type - just change the ordering from an ordering based on physical position to an ordering based on the logical meaning of each connection.

In the second pass, you could have a separate LED bank with LEDs marked USB3, USB2, etc. Hook those up to a couple of logic gates so that the LED turns on when it detects the USB3, USB2, etc. configuration.
I quite like this one. It's crafty and cute https://hackaday.com/2019/12/22/build-a-dslr-photo-booth-the..., though there's no printing.

It's not abundantly hard to bang together something functional, really. It's one of those projects where you just think about the components you have (Camera, Monitor), and then make an enclosure (or find 3d/laser files), then some code that's surely on github to sync them together.

I would be fairly surprised to hear someone complain about with-statements. My impression is that most folks don't even know it exists, and I'd be very shocked to see it actually being used in the wild.
Why do you say that? Did i claim that all humans are fishermen? No orcas do anything else their entire lives, but less than 1% of humans are fishermen (and still negligible even if you include all ranching and agriculture in modern countries!)

And no, fisherman is not a "species" or a pre-defined destiny. Hemingway was a fisherman and a writer. Humans have the ability to do other things, even in the same lifespan. Sounds like arguing for 2+2=4.
I was going to say the same thing! I guess tutorials could be a first step before jumping to the quiz part.
I dont think so, they go in all directions as a shockwave, pass through everything including black holes (even though it would warp it a bit), so its dark forest signalling basically to whole universe.

Intuitively, I guess most people would certainly be fine charging once a week for half an hour when going out (restaurant, shopping or else), given the average distance driven per week.

I mean it's completely wrong though as you still have shares in the company after getting paid.

A very good rule of thumb is: if someone's mentions dividends when discussing valuation they are clueless. It doesn't always work (paying high dividends has implications ranging from clueless management to political pressure on the company) but it's a very good rule that the argument is nonsense.
> Utilitarianism has trouble dealing with cheating because any single act of cheating seems to cause benefits for the cheater greater than the damage a single cheater does.

It clearly doesn't? There's no sensible mechanism by which someone cheating to get a higher grade will help them, except by hurting someone else. The main dream of the cheater is to get some kind of rewarding job later based on the strength of their transcript, instead of some other guy who would otherwise have been doing that job, and who (if you think the grades prior to cheating had any usefulness at all) would most likely have been better at the job.

It's hard to be able to predict in advance exactly who will be harmed by any given act of cheating, but that isn't a problem for utilitarianism.
Random fact of the day: (some?) Dishwashers detect soiled water by using a resetable fuse on the water pump and counting how many times the fuse trips; dirty water makes the pump work harder and trip the fuse.

I don't think that would work for clothes washers though, because there isn't the same kind of pumping water for recirculation. Somewhat related, my washing machine (upright, high efficiency) measures the load by spinning it with a calibrated input impulse and measuring the rotation of the basket, less rotation means more clothes means more water. It's helpful to load the clothes around the edge to get the right amount of water. But that doesn't illuminate how cycle duration is determined.

While I was in my Windows 2000 server class on 2002, we passed around a disk with a keygen for XP. It may or may not have been cracked, but it generated keys for years, until activation could be bypassed.

The actual crack came more then a decade later, first as a web app, then as sample code. These guys just repackaged it.

And yes, Windows XP still lives on as Windows XP integral edition. Update all your certs from DER files, not from some fancy app.

The news channels were mentioning the invasion being related to 9/11 and Bin Laden because the white house was making that claim.

They did exactly what you're saying the press should do: only report on the facts they had. It turned out to be a terrible strategy, as the US had a president working hard to deceive the press and public.

>It's hard to communicate the real importance of learning scales and chords at the same time. Specifically, learning all of the important scales and then building chords from those and finding more fingerable/playable voicings for them. Even going as far as removing strings and still trying to complete the scales/chords and then alternate tunings, etc. It's really a slow grind that there's no shortcut for.

YESSSS! 1000% Thats my precise motivation with this app. What I've released is just the first step. I want to do all the intervals, the triads, the chords, the scales...you get the idea.

That slow grind you're describing is very very true. I couldnt cut it. This app is my attempt to basically get where you're at. Its not a shortcut but lets just say its the fun way to learn where you're less likely to give up.

Not sure if you signed up for the updates but I might hit you up when I build more modules because I'd love to hear from people who're further along in the journey

It really depends.

Did your ancestors really eat sourdough for thousands of years in ancient Egypt, or were they hunters or fishermen until more recent times? Agriculture was common but there are societies that don't depend on agriculture, even today.

I'm usually a big critic of AI, and I remember seeing people complaining years ago about increasing framerates with AI[0], but maybe this could be a good usecase. You do, say, half the cameras, and then some crafty solution to interpolate (filling in the edges with AI, some sort of angle adjust)

> Republicans in U.S. could blow up the world economy any hour now

Well, for context, that's not quite accurate even if I question the "hostage" taking. They did pass a bill raising the debt ceiling in the House, the Limit, Save, Grow Act, but the provisions in it for cutting spending are either (depending on who you ask) a nonstarter or a tough opening bid for negotiations.

What also makes it tricky (and where I think blame is shared), is... guess who had control of the Senate and House for 2 years. The debt limit could have (though I am not a policy maker) been increased to, you know, a higher level where this wouldn't be happening, right? Which, even Axios is reporting, there are regrets internally for how completely foreseeable and preventable this was. https://www.axios.com/2023/05/23/democrats-debt-ceiling-regr...

> [Y]ou should probably get over it and roll with it.

I’m not sure that’s what he’s saying:

> If people want to displace string templating, figuring out what those current advantages are and how to duplicate them in alternatives seems likely to be important.

But that’s not an interesting objection—if you want to say it, we might as well use that to justify talking about it instead. What is interesting from my point of view is that I can’t see what it would actually mean to “roll with it”.

Stop trying to invent something better? Thanks but no thanks. (I’m just a sucker for potentially extremely neat things with a long history of mostly failing—structural editing, live programming, graphical programming... I doubt anybody can reform me at this point.)

Try to mitigate problems that result from this? If there ever was something that failed even heavier and in even stupider ways than eliminating string templating, it’s web application firewalls and their ilk. At least I haven’t ever heard of them stopping a determined or even somewhat competent attacker.

Try to trick people by doing something that looks like string templating but is in fact syntactic? Worth exploring, but doesn’t really count as rolling with it, I think.

The only thing I can imagine here is tainted strings, and those do work, but like the previous option they are hardly seamless. Something else? What?

You know, I went ahead and paid to access GPT-4 and tried to use it for something that I guess is programming related, but maybe not what you think.

I was using it to try and help me create Arma3 scenarios, which often involves using an ugly little DSL called SQF.

The last thing I asked it about was how to play a custom audio file sitting on my disk. It gave me a simple one-liner, that didn’t do anything. I asked it several questions to clarify, but it seemed confident that all I needed was this one liner to play an audio file sitting anywhere on my disk.

Eventually I said fuck it, and decided to google it myself, and it turns out it’s much more involved than just a single function call with a path as an argument, as suggested by ChatGPT. In fact you have to create an entirely separate config file with classes to represent the audio, and then you can reference that class to play the audio, not just a simple string path.

I’ve had it fail with a lot of other things, mostly trying to make computer controlled units perform deterministic, scripted actions, but it’s hard to tell if GPT-4 or the game’s engine was at fault here, because in my experience making Arma’s AI units do anything reliably is near impossible, no matter how much scripting you do.
On slashdot you could mark people as friends and foes. You could then assign a penalty to posts by foes (and posts by foes of foes and posts of friends of foes, I think?) so they were unlikely to meet your 'show post' point threshold and would therefor be hidden.
GP does have something right, though. Throwing more money at a problem does not always yield a faster or improved solution. This is well-known in software, but maybe not in other fields.

Money needs to go to educating and recruiting more people to the field. It is not as accessible as programming, and so is harder, but the same concept applies.

In theory the idea also enables a higher frame rate than that of which the cameras are individually capable, thus allowing a finer slow motion effect.
I suppose now is a good time to ask if there are any good _non-corporate_ open source browsers out there?

Seems to me that businesses operate within an incentive structure that will always encourage them to take maximum advantage of users and do anti-user things no matter what their original goals were. The non-corporate part is key imo (see Canonical, Mozilla now etc.)
An interesting "cheap, dirty & dangerous" mode of attack is loitering munitions from commodity FPV drones. Their capabilities have been demonstrated in current Russian invasion of Ukraine, and if any infiltrator can get in a few miles of the target, a "suicide drone" with a few pounds of explosives and shrapnel can be very difficult to defend against.
I tried a lot of paper plane designs and this one is by far the most elegant design and the best flying plane I found so far:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDiC9iMcWTc

The simple flight path in the video does not relly do it justice. When you throw it outside, it will have a beautiful loooong curved flight. When there is some wind, it often goes to explore the sky for quite a while before it comes back down again.

If anybody knows a design that can compete with this one, I would be very interested to try it!
So real quickly - how does this app differ from the little green bird?
Do they all have the same kit?

There are a lot of homebrew ones out there using stuff like windshield wiper motors hooked to off the shelf control circuitry [1]. It "functions" but has anyone looked into the effects? Doesn't hurt to see if there is a correlation.

The video below is an example. It also has rudder feedback...so that very easily could cause an oscillating signal. Which would also vary in pitch as the rudder was hit by the Orca.

I know I can hear PWM'ed stepper motors...and many younger people complain about them. I wonder what that sounds like to an animal which uses sonar and can hear different ranges.

Eich was in a position to benefit from the size and scope of Mozilla's user base, much as Mitchell Baker is today. The difference is, AFAIK Baker doesn't use her money and influence to rally the electorate to deprive other people of their rights.

It's disingenuous in the extreme for you to cite Eich's victimhood at the hands of a mythical "cancel culture" when the real cancel culture is powered by government-backed forces that he helped to nurture and guide.

In short, if you want to leverage your celebrity and influence to make the world a worse place rather than a better one, you can't expect people to ignore it. There's a fellow named Musk who is likely to learn the same lesson if he doesn't step off the path he's on now.
