Because of that lineage and syntactical similarity, I'm always surprised it's not more widely adopted by startups that need to extend beyond Node.

I've worked at one YC startup and interviewed with others. C# seems like the natural step after TS. But several were more interested in Go and Rust. Strange to me when C# seems more logical.
What a fun game and awesome write up! I've been considering building my own card game variation and this encouraged me to dive in and do it. I loved your balance of engineering/product/marketing/game theory throughout the article. Given the success, have you tried to monetize it at all?
Or just use https://orbstack.dev/
This was a lot of fun to read, really enjoyed the journey from game design to product design to ML. One thing I was hoping to ask was how come you felt the need to procedurally generate levels? I've often heard debates around whether content needs to be "hand-crafted" to be worth another human's time but curious to hear your take on this since it seems like you implemented both ends of the spectrum with endless and classic.

Also do you feel like you now have a general set of principles to procedurally generate levels that apply to games outside of echo chess? Puzzle games are great since they're well scoped for indie devs and I'd imagine a lot of would be puzzle designers would burn out before they create a few dozen-hundred levels.
There have been a number of mass shootings that predate the Internet:

And even today a number of the shooters had specific targets in mind e.g. fellow students, teachers etc.

No political history of Ukraine is necessary to identify the conspirators behind the war, as you put it. The decision to invade was made solely in Moscow. It cannot have been otherwise.
>If military drones were to become real and as capable as in the video, they would be hard to aquire, maintain, operate and keep hidden.

Really? Because as of right now everyone in HN and other tech communities thinks government regulation of AI is "market capture" and should be blocked entirely. Many will not be convinced until the horse is already long gone.

The parts to make an 8 inch kill drone (except the explosive, but you could use a blade or other simple weapon) from scratch are sold at microcenter. The only missing piece is the software.
I love that website! The other people sharing my vpn end point have some great ideas for content to check out.
It takes courage to quit.

Your manager was laying on a guilt trip.

I too have worked for two small technology companies. The first one was great. Smart boss, heavy but realistic workload. Got bought out by a much larger competitor. Sales people making unrealistic commitments to clients, then project managers driving the tech team to breaking point with unattainable deadlines and budgets. It became toxic. Got bought out by an even bigger competitor, a multinational company. I refused to sign on to the third company. They had a reputation. If the second company hadn't been bought out I would have probably quit anyway.

The fact that you are bringing them up proves that you engage somewhat with content related to them. There are plenty of right wing people who complain about AOC, and know a lot about her.
Just build free housing for the homeless. Build a large camp style rehab center. If you’re sleeping on the street you get arrested and get a choice to go to one of these two places. These homeless bums are currently provided with housing but since they can’t shoot you there they refuse to use them.
I think you'd dig Ikcelaks Magic Sturdy layout, which has a dedicated Adaptive Key (ie. morphing based on your last keypress, while fitting in with the overall layout by keeping finger usage and comfortable motions in mind). I mention it here because it expands to "the" if your last "letter" was space.

As with all of these types of boards, it ships with some oddball u-boot bsp version, and from what I can tell upstream efforts for u-boot are going slowly (https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/?q=lichee). YMMV. If you want to play ball with the shipping LicheePi4A bsp u-boot, you have to specially put firmware bins in /boot so that u-boot can slurp em and load em.

Contrasted with VF2 which appears to maybe even now be bootable from upstream u-boot with NVME. Something not even yet true of Rock5B from Collabora's "hardware-enablement" repos. (https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-35...)

I'm supposed to be forgetting this. Maybe passing on the trauma is my way of healing.

Something I am (why, someone stop me?) curious about is the differences in toolchains used. I've seen it reported in several places now that stock GCC produces noticeably inferior code to the optimized th1520 toolchain. Is that going to change/be upstreamed/ etc?
No, they absolutely have continued to. The new Tundra is an absolute monster.

The Toyota 120/150 platform trucks (FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, 4Runner, GX) are an exception to that trend, lasting from about 2003 to 2024. I think the new Tacoma/4R are pretty close to the same size, but the GX did increase a bit.

My formative years were the same as yours. Got my license in 1998, and I drove a 1979 Toyota truck that was absolutely TINY even compared to my 2004, but was the same size as the other mini trucks that were everywhere at that time (Mitsubishi Mighty Max, Toyota whatever they called it, Nissan Hardbody, etc.).
As an aside: the movie is a surprisingly-faithful rendition, but tbh I was a bit shocked when I read that they were making it.

So much of the book is winking and prodding at pillars of modern US culture through textual absurdities that were hard to translate to the screen. It works surprisingly well, but I'd just read the book.
Ok, sure. And this is exactly why this rule is being put into place. So customers can see a list of fees instead of some nebulous “fee” added on that tells the consumer nothing about what they are actually paying for.
Yeah apologies if it came across as if I was saying anything bad about yall's company.

I just meant that while your entry didn't list anything seriously concerning about your product, since I'm not familiar with it I can't really speak to whether there were omissions.
> Take the video of the damage immediately and through your own app. ... You can also refuse to pay for any damage unseen in the video.

A good adjuster—especially an independent adjuster—is actually incentivized to find and pay for related damage. Not only does this (marginally) increase their billable, but it also leads to happier insureds and reduces the possibility of a subsequent claim (since those take time and money to handle—plus your deductible is per loss not like medical insurance where it's per year).

> This means that users will typically repair stuff 'on the cheap', rather than using very expensive repair/rebuild services that they'd use if they knew for sure insurance would be paying.

Except that, depending on the policy and the roof type, you may or may not be able to do that. We've seen entire roofs have to replaced due to aging or lack of the same material. Granted, it's not all policies, but it does happen. You can't get the same material due to age of it. Or the manufacturer went out of business. Or you find someone who does the work right and they find MORE damage than the adjuster originally found which requires a supplement.

People like to crap on insurance companies but I've seen them pay for absolutely STUPID stuff that they likely had no reason to pay for... but they did.

Sounds like you just need a fault-tolerant cluster of HSMs distributed across regions/AZs. The fact that you only need one up and signing for the cluster to serve its function, would mean that any given HSM would be free to be as finicky as it wants, and thereby lock up and need to be reset+re-enrolled into the cluster as often as it wants.

(I would note that Google Cloud, at least, seems to use this "cluster of HSMs" approach for Identity-Aware Proxy request-signing — there's no other reason that their JWKS endpoint would be serving 8+ distinct active keys.)
Book Review: Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham
I'm really happy this is happening but there are so many aspects to it now! There's going to be lots of angry players soon - there is some really abusive behaviour in games and if this works there will be thousands of kids potentially losing accounts soon.

This potentially means many moving to different unmoderated shooters. (Potentially causing the same moderation there... with some of this being automated)

Then there's the chance of a new slang being born. If things are picked up automatically, soon people will be called a glorping chabler or whatever becomes a common workaround. This will be honestly exciting to see.

Then there are people using less popular languages which will potentially fly under the radar. And mixed up similar pronunciation like "yeah boy" and "yeba*" - which became a bit of a meme.

And that's just the top of the iceberg. I think this is an amazing social experiment to watch.
Do they at least give you an EKG first?

The safest thing is to not get tased, there is no risk of death from that. It seems ridiculous to take on a risk of death for no benefit.
Since there’s lots of confusion here I believe two things are true at the same time, 1. Tesla has a great estimate of the battery Wh/mi when navigating or driving, 2. I think what is shown as Wh/mi is misleading if you only track power dissipation -while driving-. A parked Tesla is not consuming 0 W… and I believe this is the point. The article appears to show that reduction from idle power consumption when the car is parked is substantial. If you expect to use all the battery Wh for driving off a single charge, the article claims you can only really get a total value of 50-60 percent of that in typical drive scenarios (eg commute for 1hr, park, drive home, etc until end of range).
Imagine you're an employer, now you have to give people a pay increase AND spend a lot of physical offices. Those critical water-cooler discussions warrant it though.
I spend a lot of time on Urbit and there are plenty of blogs and nothing is commercial. They're even working on an Urbit search engine now. Not trying to promote Urbit, just saying that whether the internet is like this depends on how you use it.

Using Google to access the web now, is like using the Yahoo portal to access the internet in the early 2000s.

Gatekeeping is bad. It might feel good when you're on the right side of the gate. It might even feel righteous. After all, you deserved it, by being in the in group. But gatekeeping on arbitrary criteria is always bad, and we diminish ourselves when we encourage it.

For me, the gatekeepers are worse for the Internet and it's communities than all the new people. It's great that the internet's gate is open. Let's celebrate that.
> smokers are disproportionate in their use of limited resources.

Do they?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Finance_Balance_of_Sm...

This seems to suggest by killing the smokers earlier, the government avoids paying expensive pensions, among other things people need later in life.

Obviously I don't support smoking, just nitpicking here.

Many tech firms are like that. They treat their staff as a fungible resource to extract maximum profits from. Your manager probably had profit as his main KPI.
Possibly soon. Should work fine on android mobile web in the meantime. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Sure, no.

As I estimate, there are few terabytes of books in library of Congress, and this considered largest books collection in whole world.

Fortunately, many books in LoC already public domain (copyright expired), so could use without limitations. For others, things are complicated.

In overall, scientists allowed to use any book at their work, but this mean automatically, that derived content could not be used commercially, only for research or for arts.

On other side, people tried to use synthetic datasets, generated by algorithms, or even got real texts and just dilute with noise words. But unfortunately this leads to hallucinations.

So, if you need more data then in PD books to train model, you have to scrape web, or to make some tricks, like use PD videos (that's why GPT-4 become multimodal), or hire lot of people and pay them to talk with model (this is just very expensive).

I hear, some big corporations feed models with their own internal talks, for example used records of support talking with customers, but this is too synthetic approach and very limited.

> * Extreme focus on safety at the expense of freedom. Again in Ireland, it'll take minimum one year but more likely 18 months to get a driving license, and we're subjected to endless government messaging about driving safety even though we have one of the highest levels of road safety in the world. Correlation maybe but if that's the case, they've succeeded and should stop nannying us now

This makes absolutely no sense. If the additional instruction has lead to one of the highest levels of road safety in the world, you're proposing that they should become less safe because it's more convenient for people?
Related, I have to use BetterDisplay to force a custom EDID since my xiaomi gaming monitor goes into YCbCr colour space and blacks become gray when connected to macOS. (Ironically the fix I was using before finding out about EDID patching and the cause of the problem, which I thought was bad calibration on my end, was to switch input source back and forth which somehow fixed the issue until the monitor was shut down)
I thought that this was such an obvious point that I would not have to make it, but it just goes to show that whatever HN’s comment policies may be about civility and substance, they don’t seem to require a quite basic application of the Principle of Charity. So let me spell it out.

Yes, I am aware that Saint Thomas Aquinas was a medieval theologian and that embryonic stem cell research did not exist at the time.

Maybe you want to argue that there is some necessary connection between ESC research and the period of Church history where the development of Church moral doctrine treats life as beginning with conception. If so, great, argue that. Otherwise, “ESC research has always been problematic” is just a boring claim about the screamingly obvious. Because there are other potential moral or ethical frameworks within which you could evaluate ESC. Or perhaps you would say that those frameworks are not official Church doctrine, thus they’re not Catholic, even if they were taught by saints and Doctors of the Church. If so, you’re also probably the kind of person who says that someone who disagrees with the Church about the morality of contraception isn’t really Catholic, no matter what they say or do on Sundays. But then I congratulate you on erasing the vast majority of Catholics worldwide.
huh. it is common in my experience. but there aren't thought leaders and consulting opportunities around it.
You're moving the goalposts. He expresses his judgements about the reliability of CCS charging networks in the video. I suppose that you don't have to credit Technology Connections' assessment if you don't think it's based on his personal experience. But I think you now agree that his assessment (right or wrong) about the state of non-Tesla charging is not positive, and can be (and is) summarized as: "it kinda sucks". And that is what we have been disagreeing about.

I don't accept or trust your pivot to personalize the discussion by focusing on my personal experience. I never said I had vast experience with EV charging (I said it was limited). But for the benefit of anyone reading this thread, I will tell you my experience, and then I'm going to disengage with you.

I have owned a CCS vehicle (Toyota Rav4 Prime) for about 6mo. I live in San Francisco. I have tried to charge it about a dozen times at non-Tesla chargers. I succeeded one or two times. I have also observed friends charge their Tesla vehicles at Tesla chargers about a half dozen times.

In my personal experience, I have had connectivity problems (unable to pay because NFC didn't work, and EA app had no signal in a garage), and chargers labeled as up in the EVgo app were not functional. On the Plug Share app I have seen a non-functional station (https://www.plugshare.com/location/37345), where it has been labeled as up for over 12mo, during which time it has never worked. It happens to be the exact station I have most wanted to use.

Those are some of the exact problems Technology Connections mentions, which is why his video did resonate with me.

It sounds like you've had a good experience with non-Tesla charging, which is great. I wish my experience was as positive as yours, because I am unable to charge at home at my rental unit. I would love to have a great experience with non-Tesla charging, both for myself, and for wide adoption of non-Tesla EVs. It sounds like where you live non-Tesla charging infrastructure works more reliably than it has for me here.

Maybe you're going to tell me I'm a moron and don't know how to charge my car. But I haven't had a great experience at it.
Pithy comment, but it's a shame that the state is regulating comic materials in the interest of 'child safety' without anything to back it.

Making sure someone is not using your cellar to cook meth requires nothing other than working eyes or a sense of smell one can reasonably expect the average person to have

Making sure you do not have malware in your computer requires specific knowledge that the average person likely doesn't have. Sure, you can take precautions, use antivirus, etc. but those are not foolproof and often involve specific tradeoffs like wasting CPU cycles, unlike the methlab in cellar scenario. They also require knowing you should take precautions to not be infected to begin with, which is rarely the case

The wine cellar exists in the physical world for which we evolved to inhabit. Malware does not.
I have no idea if this comment is sarcasm or not.
But censorship of the Christchurch video is "due process and the rule of law"?

I can point you to the New Zealand Act of Parliament that allows this to happen? I can link you to the reporting on the court cases?

The fact you don't like it doesn't mean it's not "due process and the rule of law" as decided by the people of New Zealand over the last 70 years or so (a lot of our law seems to date from the 60s or so, I assume this sort of this was discussed a bit in the general zeitgeist before then).
Personally I think the truth is somewhere between MaoistRebelNews and Contrapoints, but we can agree to disagree.

I start questioning my Youtube life choices when I start seeing videos that include the words DESTROYS.

If I want to explore certain videos I make a habit of copying the link, opening a new window in Private Mode (in whatever browser), and viewing it through that: no sense 'contaminating' my preferences with exploratory paths. Even for some channels that I like occasionally (reaction stuff for (e.g.) Blind Wave) I often do it in private mode so that I don't get flooded with the genre.

Every so often I have to declare 'Youtube bankruptcy' by deleting my cookies and then manually going to a view channels that I know gear towards my general preferences (personal finance (not investing), history, IT/tech, urban planning, etc).

To offer a prominent counter-example, consider the success of Substack, Ghost, Medium, and other blogs-and-newsletter platforms. Blogs are thriving for quality writers (especially those with unique experiences), as evidenced by the ability of certain writers (including some I subscribe to) to make a full-time living through these platforms.

Outside of blogs, I personally know people in non-technology fields who have their own personal website, to make it easier for people to contact them and view their portfolio of work. They made their through page builders to avoid the need to learn how to program, and they personally found some collaboration opportunities due to their personal websites. Searching for someone's name and possibly finding their personal website still has value.

Though I do admit that there are far more heavily commercialized or clickbait articles nowadays (such as padded-out listicle-style articles that bury the important information, which may also have questionable accuracy), I personally believe there are still good websites out there to find and learn from, which I've discovered through personal recommendations or searches on niche topics of interest.

A major source of well-written personal websites for me have been those that focus on the use of specialized software (such as Anki and SuperMemo) in spaced repetition: I've learned a lot from excellent recently-published, non-commercial blogs found directly through Google searches. I've also found similar very high-quality and non-commercial personal websites and blogs when searching about other specialized topics, such as workflows to use the Vim text editor to create technical documents with LaTeX typesetting.
