Show HN: RPN and Stopwatch in WASM
Hey HN! I usually work with C++ on the hardware side. Recently, I've taken a dive into Rust and over the last weekend, I had some fun creating web apps for the first time. It was quite exciting to see something I created live on the web so I am posting them on HN!
I still read Digg, along with HN, Reddit, slashdot, metafilter, lobste.rs, kottke, boing boing and many other sources of news and links. I’ve always been an information junkie. High brow, low brow, I don’t care. I want it all.
Or they could cooperate to make an open scraping engine to replace the APIs. A large enough group of volunteer devs could have a short turnaround from when Reddit messes up the front end to having the scraper working again.
I wonder if this will lead to the ReVanced patches for the official Reddit app getting better?

(ReVanced is the evolution of YouTube Vanced a modified YouTube app. But since they made it a generic patcher, it can now improve Reddit and other apps.)

There's a patch to remove ads, and a couple of other minor things[1], but not much. I requested a feature to automatically minimize the Automod comments that are stickied to the top of every thread in many subreddits, and the request was closed with the reasoning that I could do that manually. That's true, but somewhat beside the point.

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the tracking in the official app vs third party apps.

I was noticing a LOT of tracker dns queries in my pi-hole. It wasn't an obvious name (like having reddit in it). Speaking to a co-worker they happened to notice the same thing. Searching online allowed me to track it down to the official reddit app. I uninstalled it from my android phone and installed the Infinity app instead and I could still access reddit just fine and no more tracker queries. I will not be installing the official app if Infinity goes away.
Believe it or not, my carrier finally got visual voicemail in 2022.
I recently released Durafetch.

It consists of server functions to add to your Cloudflare Worker and a CLI to download all Durable Object state to a local SQLite database.

Take a look:

Yeah because the state of social media without billionaire tech bros was so much better off /s
Posts on Hacker News related to LiquidPiston go back 11(!) years. The most comments are on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25450477

If this was going to revolutionize anything, it would've happened by now.
I’m 2010 access to prod over ftp:// might have still been a thing even at digg.
Hey, if it’ll solve the homelessness problem, I am all for it.
Boring like the iPhone? Sounds awful.
Indeed. Or maybe it was the winner of Diggs traffic despite being written in Lisp at that time..

There's maybe a handful of sites that people explicitly append to their google search results in order to cut out the SEO spam, reddit is probably the one that covers the most subjects.

So I think they are thinking that and I don't think they're wrong.
I run another alternative serveo.net. As far as I can tell, it was the first or second to use SSH for the client/transport. It was down for a couple years but is running again since March.
I've been using old.reddit.com for years, nice and snappy (enough) website and easy to navigate.

Similarly I use Baconreader on my phone which is also pretty great.

I've never seen a compelling reason to use "new" reddit or the official reddit app. If they want to kill third party apps then they need to make their own offering much better, which I highly doubt will ever happen.

>Reddit is closing on its IPO and is seemingly desperate to generate "growth" by bumping every possible metrics possible virtually.

If by "growth" and "metrics" you mean they have to figure out how to make money to sell themselves to investors in an almost-hostile financial environment, then yes, I agree.

Beginning of the end and all that. You can't sell "community". IPO means ads, ads, ads and dodgy strategies like you describe above.
I tend to agree with the article. I've felt pretty frustrated with the direction of react in the last few years. Most of the companies I've worked for that used react did so because they wanted a SPA, in most cases making a conscious decision to move away from older SSR technologies towards the SPA.

It's doubly frustrating because we primarily use C# and Asp.Net Core for back end work. A react SPA is trivial to use with any back end of your choosing... this SSR push they're making isn't much fun unless you use a JS back end (no thanks).
This is why I’m excited for the Reddit third party apps change.

In a few years nobody will remember that this is what precipitated the fall of Reddit. It’s already turned into an echo-chamber of nonsense, ruled by all-powerful mods to whom every user is a racist transphobe nazi homophobe enemy.

Even the smaller subs catch the contagion year over year.

I’ve been a Redditor since before the narwhal baconed at midnight. I miss the Reddit that was good.

I’m excited to see what replaces it.
Probably apple are the only ones doing the newer tsmc process too
Digg didn't fail because it didn't use Java, that's preposterous. Java isn't more scalable, stable or simple than any other solution, that's Java consultancy bullshit.
I mean I'm sure the number crunchers have Declared that it's reasonable, but if the effect is that it will kill third party apps, then the net result is the same.

"I didn't mean to" is a very weak defense.
If reddit and Twitter kill their API, there's probably space for a noutofband plugin that creates arbitrary forums on content. Like, you find a website with an image, you hash the image and that creates your standard forum and voting system. Then wheverver that hash shows up, so does the forum.
On the other hand, also the Russian has claimed Ukraine on planning the for blowing the dam.

https://www.voanews.com/a/latest-developments-in-ukraine-oct...

None of the parties have supporting evidence (not for mines as well).

Both parties are in information warfare, and everything is used for their own benefits. Everything they say, should be taken with a grain of salt.

Immediately, when the dam was exploded, Zelensky said that now the world must react, and drive Russians from Ukraine, from all the territory and corners they have taken.

At one point in my life drinking coffee would give me vertigo. I ended up going caffeine free for a couple weeks until I am guessing my anxiety went down enough that drinking coffee wouldn't give me vertigo. Since then there have been a couple times in my life where I needed to cut back coffee before things got bad again. Now I typically have one and a half cups a day and I am ok.
“We should stop using JavaScript”
This type of self driving existed since 90's, as far I understand hard part is driving in traffic and pedestrians.
How about the corporations that make the AI. Will they take over the world?
I wouldn't be surprised if they try to stop this protest by allocating a large block of IPO shares to moderators. As they should given how much moderators contribute to their success.
Lol. Open to LLMs does not make source more "open" it only actively harms the open source ecosystem.
You totally missed the point: the connectome of a human brain is still orders of magnitude bigger and faster than that.

Power efficiency does not matter for those.

Those are interesting only for the implementation of specialized cognitive functions.

Additionnaly, the connectomes of those chips are 2D and very localized. Human brains are 3D and much less localized. Simulating 3D connectome with those 2D chips slows everything down by a lot.
I'm not sure. It used to be that you could just select whatever as long as you do it with a mouse (so have human-like cursor movement). But latetly reCaptcha and hCaptcha have both been yelling loudly every time I didn't select one square that had a car or staircase or whatever it makes your look for even if that object is relatively small and easy to miss.

I think this is because the primary purpose of the excersise is AI training though.
"unlearning" or even "never learned"
I think the distinction is important when trying to fix that. Learning new skill is something different then trying to unlearn something. You probably need to use other methods.
Reddit existed and was frankly already winning the race with Digg before the Digg redesign, the "Digg moment" was just the cherry on top really.

There's no obvious alternative to reddit.
"Six tips for better coding" implies detailed tricks, not a high level presentation.

I'm sure the "author" rewrote it, I'm just saying they probably got the substance from ChatGPT.
Japan will not enforce copyright laws on AI data training, says minister
Some of the communities have announced they will remain dark until Reddit reverses their decision, so it will vary by community.

But this is, I think, where money comes into place; I fully expect some of the 'volunteers' for some of the more popular communities have found a way to make money off of it. I mean, they run communities with millions of views a day, surely there's money to be made out of that even if you don't work for reddit?

I think that's part of why such stories get traction. Real life is boring. People want something more. When something comes along, they hope it's true, and motivated reasoning comes in.

This same mechanism can explain AI hope.
If I still flew 18 hour every two weeks to visit facilities in Asia from NYC I would want one of these for the flights.

Outside of that, I don’t think I could justify $3500 for one. Even if it’s a fun toy.
> more distinct experiences

If well formulated I suppose this could be scientifically tested too.
Given the right kind of task and measurement.
My earlier point is only to tie to the parent about differentiating actually having "more distinct experiences" with just _feeling like_ you had them.
This is something that, as the subject and knowing the intervention, you cannot determine by yourself. You'd need an experimenter doing a double-blind experiment to really test this out.

As an anecdote there's nothing wrong --- subjective experiences aren't any less "real" to the experiencer --- just that claims about the mechanism and effect are probably not generalizable.

> As in, when I'm not on LSD, I can't even properly decode most of the memories I made with it.

There's also lots of metaphysical questions about whether indescribable experiences are "real" or not that are probably too long to get into on HN :)
Availability. Check out the datasheet on the 'CPU' in the article.

Also top 486s require a heatsink and a fan.
To add to the appeal of iPhone's original release; do not forget the iPod Touch. Released in late 2007, it was available far more broadly and was a great entry point into the world of those crazy new iPhones.

It was my first iOS device and I even paid the 14.99$ for the update to get mail, calendar and contacts. I played way more games back then than I do now since I was often without a Wi-Fi network.
IPO doesn't have to mean ads, though. There are other ways to monetize a user base and to generate money based off of a 'community'. They're just ways that require more time, more concerted effort and planning to execute.
This is the question people should be asking rather than trying to identify which Digg employee should be retroactively thrown under the bus. Just a completely insane design decision.
It isn't. As the Reddit link explains, the only benchmarks it wins in are synthetics.

You can play Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1080p at over 60fps. You can produce all the synthetic benchmarks in the world but this is as powerful as a console. This is the most powerful iGPU out there, it is about as powerful as 1060.
There's a few projects underway to do just that; I've seen Lemmy [0] being mentioned a lot.

Things like this seem "unlikely until they actually happen", then hindsight is 20/20. Enron was a public company with genuine audits, and many people were surprised it was a giant pump and dump scam.

Enron (2001): Enron Corporation, an energy company based in Houston, Texas, infamously collapsed in 2001 due to one of the most notorious cases of corporate fraud in history. Through complex accounting maneuvers and deceptive practices, Enron misrepresented its financial health, hiding debt and inflating profits.

WorldCom (2002): WorldCom was a telecommunications company that engaged in accounting fraud, inflating its assets by over $11 billion. The fraud involved improperly classifying expenses as capital investments, misleading investors and lenders. The scandal led to WorldCom filing for bankruptcy, and several executives were convicted, including CEO Bernard Ebbers.

Tyco International (2002): Tyco International, a multinational manufacturing company, was involved in a series of accounting frauds. The company's CEO, Dennis Kozlowski, and CFO, Mark Swartz, were found guilty of embezzling millions of dollars through unauthorized compensation and unauthorized stock sales. They used various fraudulent methods to conceal their activities.

HealthSouth (2003): HealthSouth, a provider of outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging, and rehabilitation services, was involved in a massive accounting scandal. The CEO, Richard Scrushy, orchestrated a scheme to overstate the company's earnings by nearly $3 billion, inflating assets and revenues. Scrushy was eventually convicted of bribery, mail fraud, and other charges.

Lehman Brothers (2008): Lehman Brothers, a global financial services firm, played a significant role in the 2008 financial crisis. The company employed accounting practices known as "Repo 105," which involved temporarily moving assets off-balance sheet to hide its financial situation. This misleading presentation contributed to investors' false perception of Lehman Brothers' stability before its collapse.
Reddit is good for product recommendations and in that regards recency matters e.g ask ChatGPT what ODE you should get for a Sega Saturn.

By allowing LLMs low cost or free access to their users data companies like Reddit are essentially helping companies like OpenAI choke their traffic.

Over time as people realise it’s quicker to ask ChatGPT a question than it is to post a question on reddit they will start losing content also.

Also think about the difficulty of policing content generated by swarms of LLM bots with API access for PR campaigns.
Some subs I'm on are going permanently dark from the 12th onwards and are looking for alternatives like Lemmy.
I was ready to dismiss the article because the answer to the title question is an obvious “No”, as server components is not a breaking change. It’s optional. But the author addresses it and then makes a very good point.

> ”The introduction of React Server Components, unlike the Angular.js to Angular 2 transition, is not a breaking change. Existing single-page applications will still work with the latest version of React. Existing Next.js apps built with the Pages router will also work. So, the answer to the question "Is React having an Angular.js moment?" is "No".”

> ”So to the question "Is React harming its community by being too ambitious", I think the answer is "Yes"”

The article is very good and well worth the read. I am inclined to agree that this is a NextJS move, that goes against the interests of React developers, with the goal of locking React developers in their own services. The React team is on board with this and playing along. I think they shouldn’t.
What kind of CPU is the CPU part? The link doesn't tell. Is it like ARM or RISC V and can it run a general purpose OS like Linux?

Do you plugin in DDR memory somewhere for the 480GB, or is this already on the board?

EDIT: found answer to my own question in the datasheet: "The NVIDIA Grace CPU combines 72 Neoverse V2 Armv9 cores with up to 480GB of server-class LPDDR5X memory with ECC."
By the way I love the word stooopid. Has such a Muppets Swedish Chef ring to it.
For sure, I get the point that photo taking exploded after 2011 or so. Just saying that growth in new product categories is non-linear, and often builds on the prior modest successes.

The VR headset business has been beset by boom/bust behavior (boom in 2016, led with the PSVR ; boom in 2020 led by the Meta Quest 2). It's seen as disappointing that it hasn't reached a sustainable mass market stable growth rate. But what's not broadly recognized is that it is still showing strong growth, just lumpy and subject to over inflated expectations. The Meta Quest 2 has sold 20 million units total, that's about half of the Sony PS5 and MORE than Microsoft sold of Xbox Series S|X consoles so far. it's also 400% higher than what we saw from the PSVR 's lifetime sales. now, global console (including VR) sales collapsed in late 2022 and layoffs followed, but... they're beating the Xbox, which is notable. Sony has now shipped the PSVR2 into a terrible market for game consoles and even they expect 1.5 million units to ship this year.

It's nothing compared to the iPhone, but nearly all products in history are nothing compared to the iPhone.

I would bet Apple can only make a small number of Vision Pros in 2024 (1-2 million?), and the price is more about the production limitations of this next generation of screen than the actual cost of goods. This stuff takes time. I would expect 2026 is when the mass market version is widely available.

AFAIK infinite scroll is still in the A/B testing phase. At least with clean browser profiles it seems random which one I get.
I may be in the minority (although that very much remains to be seen) but I think this approach gives you the only actual benefit of VR, namely immersion. I play video games to relax, having to jump around to avoid shiny lights is the opposite of relaxing.
So I just looked at the POSIX standard for the exec functions. It says the argv array is terminated by a null pointer when it arrives at the C main function. But a null argv doesn't cause exec to fail. Which implies that the OS or C runtime must fix it up between exec and main.
The question seems to be why ship Windows95 preinstalled on a platform that can't run it, when highly integrated x86 clones such as the Vortex are available? https://www.vortex86.com/products/Vortex86DX
literally the only thing I use my Quest 2 for is Beat Saber
Basically. At least with Musk there is a line of dialog and some insight on what happens. Unlike facebook, instagram or any others that censor/ban political voices that were democratically elected that oppose whatever mainstream decides is true at that moment.

What makes a phone a must? Why can’t a pair of AR goggles (eventually) replace a phone? What if iPhones go the way of laptops and stop selling as much because people prefer an all in one device on their face?

That’s the sell here. You no longer need a laptop and tv and phone and touchscreen in your car. All that can be replaced with this one device.
I really think this is a bad take, at least as far as the analysis of Meta goes.

If anything, they've focused on games too deeply and have kicked the can on building an _app_ ecosystem with the multitasking UX needed for a personal computer. This is understandable from a hardware constraint perspective...

However, Apple has done the legwork to build a framework that supports concurrent app usage in a mixed reality way from the ground up instead of deeply focusing on immersive game experiences like Meta has. On top of that, Apple seems to have put in more work to onboard app devs than game devs. That said, the reason Apple can ignore games is because they can leave that to Meta and Unity and they'll still get ports.

The input story for the Apple headset is real bad, though. You seem to think Meta doesn't care about games but at least they ship game controllers. Just wait until you try to play something with a pinch gesture and no haptics.
Iphone games are massive portion of the gaming industry by units sold and even by revenue.

Good to know that it is up again.

Site owners just aren't going to be excited about stealing the most important bit of real estate and putting buttons there that navigate away from your site, that the end user presumably chose to navigate to. And other problems, like breaking bookmarking, no SEO benefits from the "link", etc.

The selfishness of it is obvious if you think through what would happen if someone posted one of these dig iframed urls to another digg-like site, which was then itself posted to a third digg-like site. 3 stacked headers, yay!
