Oops, they invited all the foreigners in and they're rebelling, now they have to spy on us to control them. Well played.
with regards to love2d, they are no on the same "market" (I have made hobbyist game in both)

love2d is really the most minimalist things you can call a game engine, i.e quickly you have to resort to 3rd party library , even for something as simple as 2d collision or the ECS system. If you know perfectly what you are doing it's probably better.

Godot is much more battery include so for an experienced programmer it may feel too opinionated.

my own experience was that, while I'm a web developer for 10+ years, I'm really new at game development, and love2d was easy at first but soon a pain because I hit a ceiling glass of "my game has become too complex and I don't know the design pattern of game developement". At the opposite Godot was a pain at first, especially as a Vim user, i.e why do I have to use this GUI, but once I got used with the tool by following some step by step tutorial, I felt like sky was the limit.
Would be interesting to see the HTML spec find a way to pull from the SCXML[0] spec for declaratively modeling nested, parallel state machines, maybe adding pseudo-selectors to CSS for querying it.

Ask HN: I am overpaid, what do I do to ensure employment?
I know how silly the subject sounds but here me out.

I am at an academic research lab that does work for the DoD. I am paid 190k/year after a crazy raise I received followed by a (well-earned) promotion. I appreciate the pay raise and the value that is placed upon my work, but I am simply too expensive for all my projects now.

The laboratory works on soft money and my rate per year is now about 500k (this includes overhead, profit, etc). I believe this has price me out of the market to do Government research as most grants are on the order of 150k/year.

To keep myself funded, I find that I have to juggle 5-6 projects. These projects are ending too quickly given that I can only spend about 2 man months on each and then I am out of money. I am worried that when layoffs come (they always do), that I will likely be on overhead since its difficult for me to stay fully funded. Therefore, I am a good candidate to be laid off.

I have approached HR about a salary reduction but they said its not possible. I recently turned 40 and can't imagine having another 23 years at my job with raises, promotions, etc. with a continuingly upward trending salary. It seems simply unsustainable and that I will have to be laid off.

What are some options here? I feel stuck. Taking on a management role is completely out of the question. I am a terrible administrator and enjoying doing research & publishing.

Owning a house is almost always cheaper than renting, at least in terms of mortgage payment vs. rent payment.
The First Amendment is doing the demanding here.

Not all speech is protected, and Government officials are not allowed to censor political speech.
> there is nothing necessarily irrational

I think your statement isn't strong enough. Choosing lower compensation in exchange for work that aligns with your value system is an entirely rational thing to do.
I'd be far worried about single homed internet connection than brand of the switch.

They have been buying companies non-stop for a while. It's their new operating model.

One of these days, I want to learn enough computer vision to write an LEGO instruction booklet to LCAD convertor that could be fed old instructions and generate a 3D model of the set. An archive of the instructions is nice, but a virtual archive of sets would be nicer.

I love godot, but:

* gdscript is not python, it's lacking several small python things that makes python awesome: list/dict comprehension, .items(), sets, although gdscript is quite enough and still quite a good language for game dev as it does just everything well, especially for natives types etc.

* I tried gdnative and I still need to try gdextension, but so far writing C++ for godot seems quite hairy and the programmer must use godot types and "new()" everywhere, which is not really easy to deal with, so godot is not really a C++ engine, C++ is only usable if you want to optimize something a bit tedious, which is fine, but important to remember, and it confirms the whole "use a scripting language 99% of the time, and use C++ only if scripting is not fast enough"

* I would still want to inspect the real potential performance of gdscript compared to other languages, and I don't know if mono/.net is faster. It seems like a very good language especially because it integrate perfectly with how the environment is designed, but I'm still curious if they plan to improve it.

* I'm planning to make a multiplayer FPS game, but I don't think godot provides network prediction, and I wish it did.

* I'm a bit worried about opengl support in the future, it's not entirely done yet, and I'm afraid it's too difficult to properly implement because new API like vulkan or DX12 are so radically different.

Overall godot is the greatest thing that ever happened to open source and game development, game development is one area where open source has trouble making its teeth, and the lightweight design of godot makes it just such a big relief when you compare it to monsters like unreal and unity.
You're speaking of the difference between constitutional literalism, and constitutional intent. The 2nd Amendment, interpreted literally, means I should be able to build a nuke. After all there are no explicit limits. That obviously was not the intent of the amendment by any stretch of the imagination. Such a consideration was never dealt with because this was simply outside any sort of world the Founding Fathers could have imagined.

So too here with the 1st amendment. Interpreted literally, you're absolutely correct. Intimidation isn't passing a law, but obviously the government using threats to censor billions of people (since this would expand even beyond the US) is obviously contrary to every single reasonable interpretation of the 1st Amendment. Again a world where the government even could censor billions of people using intimidation alone is something the Founding Fathers could never have even begun to imagine.
Is anything you've built with Godot publicly available somewhere? If so, can you share?
I think the jury is still out if these will actually scale to ultra-long language understanding sequences. KWKV, for example, is still trained like GPT, but is architected so it can be run as an RNN during inference time. This is awesome, but it is unclear if the training regime will limit the effective use of long-ranging recurrent context.
The big wrinkle is they're mainly free while they're burning VC money on user acquisition trying to 'win' some niche they can exploit to justify a crazy evaluation. The free money fueling that early golden age directly requires the eventual enshittification in the current model because the VC doesn't want a stable profitable enterprise they're all swinging for the unicorn fences.
I was responding to

> every issue and potential solution is nuanced. By extension, this means that every person outside of the most extremist is nuanced as well.

I think the article has it backwards. It asserts complicated people with uncorrelated beliefs (random vectors) and how impossible the task of self-categorization becomes (i'm so unique that im far from each parties centroid, which of course neglects those who are close to the centroid). This is a fake task. Candidates self-sort into parties to gain nominations by making promises to party insiders and voters choose among candidates during elections. The apparatus of party isn't relevant to the choice in the ballot box. Neither is the alignment of the candidate with the voter. You make a choice A or B. It's only the difference in A vs B not the alignment with A or with B. Alignment is correlated with the difference, sure, but its not the reason to choose A over B.

That's what I meant by the aggregations comment. Parties cover/split voters and the centroid drifts over time. That drift is irrelevant to the task of candidate choice.
They are already doing via exploits, or via carrier injection, but this might have been illegal given the various anti-hacking laws around. So the legislature is granting explicit permission for the police to do this.
Yes, true—the difference is, if the market stagnates you can take money out of the index fund and apply it to your mortgage at any time, whereas if you do a large down payment upfront, you can't change your mind later.
Wouldn't you need to add another <table> tag if you're nesting?

Sony threw a truck load of money into marketing.

When I was in high school I recall taking a bus to school once and the entire bus was covered in a FF7 advertisement.
No, I am sure Threads will be less mean and more friendly but it will be probably more censored. I don't like how Facebook/Instagram(and previously Twitter) censored people, specially during elections.
From the post-mortem, it doesn't sound like like the problem was a single network cable. Redundant network switches have existed for a long time, and they're certainly using them (but not bothering to mention it in the post-mortem).

Their problem was that they only have two transit providers, and one of them black-holed about 3-5% of the internet. Since it was a routing issue, I'd guess it was either a misconfiguration, or that the traffic is being split across dozens of paths, and one path had a correlated failure.
Yes, it's the civilizational equivalent of the student who does nothing until the deadline is near and then half-asses the project to get a C.
If anyone here has created something using Godot that is publicly available, would you kindly provide a link to share it here?
The microphone does need to be connected to the phone. Not so much the camera.
Anytime I open an article and it has that art style, I know it's not for me.
Regarding the Faraday bag, as I mentioned in another comment, that is not useful because the phone could be recording your audio anyway and then just transmit it later when you take it out of the bag. What you'd really want is some kind of soundproof box, but I'm not sure if an effective one exists because microphones can be sensitive and audio recordings can be amplified.
You can absolutely do all of those things, but there is an intrinsic cost for someone to configure, manage, and monitor those things. SQLite will (generally speaking) have far less management overhead because of its relatively limited surface area (e.g., there is no database service).
I think Facebook/Instagram pioneered login walls for public post content.
> I mean... the GPT-3.5 base model

That would be text-davinci-003, I believe.
In addition to what you mentioned, I'd like to add that photos are copyrightable by the photographer, who merely tweaked some "hyper-parameters" (exposure, ISO, aperture, whatever) and decided when and where to press a button. If such "minimal" amounts of authorship is considered sufficient, I won't be as confident as GP to claim that training an LLM, which requires orders of magnitudes more hyperparameters, labor and capital investment, to be uncopyrightable due to lack of human authorship involved.

It might end up uncopyrightable due to other reasons, but probably not this.

Btw, the phone directories are quite different -- they're just compilation of raw factual public domain information. The LLM weights are anything but. In fact one of the leading theories as to why LLMs are not copyrightable is that they infringe upon the copyrights of the source training materials. (I also don't want to guess whether that argument holds)
Sounds to me like an excellent time to put life before profits for a change.
“Greedflation” is a nonsense idea
> It's very telling that Unity is where it is because of monetization.

No, it's absolutely not. It may happen to have mobile monetization features built in but it's where it is because it's been the best general game engine for everything other than AAA 3d games, although Godot is catching up.
Have you tried Notions Evernote importer? There are also quite a few Evernote to X applications exporters on Github
Companies - managers - very often suffer from the sunk cost fallacy.

They're very concerned they won't necessarily do any better with the next person, than the two hours of work per day they're getting. They've invested into integrating, training the existing employee. Managers almost always consider it a high burden to have to go through the process again with a new person. If they find a considerably superior new candidate first, maybe they'll get rid of the existing person or rotate them into a worse position. The difference between the two persons, in terms of output, has to more than make up for the headache.
Essentially all Nvidia gpus support cuda, even cheap ones. The amd rocm supports only like 10 very specific models.

Ish. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown, the goal was "to write using an easy-to-read and easy-to-write plain text format, optionally convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML)."
You're misunderstanding what I'm saying.

My argument isn't "imperfect detection is fine".

I'm saying that _you don't need detection at all_.

Just make it very clear that AI content is unwelcome on your platform and loudly boot everyone who tries to "experiment" with your limits.
I keep my phone stored in a pouch, so the mic is muffled and the camera blocked, when not in use. If I want to go somewhere without being tracked, I leave it at home. I've done this for years. I always act on the assumption that I'm under surveillance.
Without unions, and without governmental "interference", how in the world will employees avoid being abused by companies?
Have you seen the factory that makes it? It’s a midden heap.
> dozens

I find it funny that "dizaines" (tens) got translated to "dozens" (which would be "douzaines", but is rarely used except for eggs).
So much yes to this. I like being offline when I work to avoid distractions and this is amazing.
I appreciate this idea. Podcasts have the unique quality of allowing your company culture to subtly permeate the airwaves on which they're consumed. I listen to above/board by Paul Jarvis and Jack Ellis who are building Fathom Analytics. Besides discussing the business behind the product and the technical challenges, I can sense how much it means to them to bootstrap an independent business and to be a real alternative to the Google products we all loathe. This is the kind of information you can't reliably communicate through landing page copy. The human voice has subtlety no marketing text could or should ever want to express.

If this is a window into the soul of a business, then it's a competitive advantage in a world of brands eager to be perceived as authentic. There's still lots of room for manipulation, but it becomes harder to fake when you're recording a show.
I’m going to assume you’re talking about Mormonism, which isn’t a new religion unto itself. It’s a denomination.

Your other examples, which are copy-pasted from other sites, are in fact, religions of syncretism.

They are obviously not Abrahamic.

If we created a new religion right here in this HN thread and combined Abrahamic precepts with some blend of western Buddhism and secular thought, does it make it an “Abhramic” religion? No it makes it a syncretic religion.

It’s irrelevant what the size of an institution says. This is just an example of an argument from authority fallacy. You’re not making an actual point.

It’s a poor reference to authority, too. If you wanted good cookware, would you go to Walmart or Williams Sonoma? Why of all places would The British Library be an institution for religious authority as compared to actual religious history schools?
As someone who has never made a game, I really want to make a tower defense game that fixes shortcomings I find in others - where would one complete beginner delve into Godot to accomplish starting to learn the system - there are a number of tuts on YT - one of which is ~11 hours long.

Can you make some suggestions to avoid/pre-empt any said headscratchings and frustrations?
I think they also rusted it out because of the rate limits this week.
Here in Montana our unseasonably cold weather is feeding the thunderstorms and tornados of the midwest states.

Brinklink has list for each brick of the set it belongs too. I was able to use that to discover a set I didn't know my older brothers had.
So it’s a bunch of models?
In recent years, there is a general drift towards "collectible display models". This means that the piece count in most sets is inflated by a majority of small "finishing" pieces. The models are finicky to build with lots of unusual building techniques (attaching bricks on sidewalls, for example) and are not easy to repurpose into something else in a reasonable amount of time.

In the 1990s, it was a "construction toy" first, playset second, display model last. A kid could take any set and rebuild it into something else in an hour or so. Now, they would need more time only to sort the tiny 1x1 pieces before starting to build anything.
Google, reddit, amazon, twitter, and every meta website too.

This is a dumb observation.

US people needs to stop pretending the USA are the only place that matters on earth.
The terror was fully part of the revolution, and was notably when the vote for France to proclame itself a Republic happened. Support for and against the king came and went throughout the revolution. The vote for abolition of monarchy in 92 (so, 3 years after it began!) and then for death penalty of the king in 93 was heavily influenced by the fear of retribution for whom may vote against. France would likely still be a monarchy if not for the terror.

FWIW, France became an empire, then was restored as a monarchy, then back an empire and monarchy before it became a republic durably.

Revolution was not a series of peasants and commoner ridding themselves of their despots, it was much more dirtier, political and complex than that, which doesn't prevent to still be behind the ideals that drove the events and find it beautiful.
> the first to be able to improve itself in pursuit of its goal could take off at some threshold and then the others would not be relevant.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to properly write up why I don't think self-improvement is a huge issue.

(My thought won't fit into a comment, and I'll want to link to it later).
Square and Enix (before they became one) both jumped ship to PlayStation because they deemed the N64 cartridge's memory capacity far too small for the kind of games they wanted to make. And to that extent, they're probably right--Final Fantasy VII took three CDs as it was. A game across three cartridges would've cost a fortune, and that's assuming you somehow got a 1:1 rate between them. The RE2 N64 port is the only game that got close, and that was with a ton of clever compression and massive downsizing of audio and video. More likely it would've taken 5-10 carts.
The police can access all call logs; if they found your number among his last calls, starting from your house would have been among the first things to do in normal investigation.
Thank you. The real issue here is a small number of companies have become the defacto gatekeepers of a large amount of public discourse. That’s a major problem that this debate is just a symptom of.
Same reason counties fall to communism. Free speech and open debate get in the way of bureaucrats trying to control peoples lives.

Example. There is a highly experimental vaccine, which is really gene therapy. People are questioning it. Including Mark Zuckerberg, who told all those people not to take it.

But then censored anyone online that wanted to have a discussion about it.

People are reporting severe injuries “including my own wife!” let’s block and ban them too. Big Pharmacy’s got millions to make.

Oh cheap already available treatments seem to work? Let’s ban discussion about those those too. No one can know that possible alternatives exist.
How about just let them enjoy their success and strive to achieve your own instead of policing it?

It has always been, because they were never open systems. I'm waiting for when it isn't socially unacceptable to ask people not to bring their phones when they visit.

That is misguided. We should take care of ourselves and voluntarily help our neighbors.
This is a huge tangent, but I've started harboring similar feelings for video games. Go read comments for the latest game and 90% of the comments will be about item drops, skins, loot drops, whatever. It's absolutely mind boggling because all those things IMO suck the fun out of the game which it to kill something, kill someone, or explore some world.
