You do need all these things for these applications. Efficiently and safely querying and writing data is central to any document format; you'll leverage both the file structure and in-memory structs to do this. SQL would probably work for this, in fact it's especially natural for spreadsheets (rows x cols).
I've seen comments here on HN that make me believe some people think Godot is on par with Unity, or that it will be soon. The title of the linked article also acknowledges that some people in the world at least have a misapprehension to that effect.
you marked too many, and so it ran out of suggestions and so started suggesting ones you ignored

anyway the suggestion queue is getting very bad
That's exactly what it is, but the point is that it's not a Unix shell, and it's not running as a subcommand of SSH (which you could also do with a custom shell). There's no tty involved, and so the attack surface is reduced - if you exploit a logic error in the Go code (e.g. parameter pollution), you won't be able to do more than run one of the commands that it already runs. But if you exploit a logic error in a Unix shell with parameter pollution, then the attack surface is much greater. That said, of course if an attacker finds a bug in the Go code that enables arbitrary code execution, then the attack surface is just as wide as any other binary on the system, including a Unix shell, so you still need to lock down the privileges of the process itself.
I tried using Godot for Web game toy projects and unfortunately the base file size is like 12MB and closer to 40MB if you use C#.

I think Unity was like 3MB with C#

Not a big deal for a lot of cases. Don’t let it deter you. But for my specific target it was a problem.

To be honest I’m not sure how Unity can be so small. Does it compile the C# or something avoiding the need for a beefy runtime?

The LLM does democratize knowledge, but you have to be the user of the LLM, not the target of the user of the LLM.

The LLM is the most powerful knowledge tool ever to exist. It is both a librarian in your pocket. It is an expert in everything, it has read everything, and can answer your specific questions on any conceivable topic.

Yes it has no concept of human value and the current generation hallucinates and/or is often wrong, but the responsibility for the output should be the user's, not the LLM's.

Do not let these tools be owned, crushed and controlled by the same people who are driving us towards WW3 and cooking the planet for cash. This is the most powerful knowledge tool ever. Democratize it.
Currently, China is the number two immigration source country for Australia, so a declining population in China doesn't prevent it from being a source of immigrants for other countries.

South Korea and Japan do have difficult relations, and they have been getting worse. But I remember visiting South Korea some years ago and talking to some of my South Korean colleagues about how they felt about Japan, and what I noticed was wide differences in opinion – some were still very angry at Japan for things it had done long before they were born, others were critical of their fellow Koreans' anti-Japanese sentiments. I suspect some of this is political – historically, many Koreans collaborated with Japan, among others Park Chung Hee, who served in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, and then became South Korea's military dictator in the 1960s and 1970s. Some right-wing South Koreans still have some sympathy for the 1960s/1970s military dictatorship, and hence tend to view collaborators with Japan more sympathetically; more left-leaning South Koreans are highly critical of both.

In any event, there are a lot of things which Japan could say to try to assuage South Korean feelings on these topics. Japan's problem is that saying those things would upset Japan's own nationalist bloc. But if Japan really wants to attract Korean immigrants, maybe upsetting their own nationalists is the price of that.
>it's just about trust.

Yes, and a big part of establishing trust is sending the right signals. The risk vs reward differential is way higher for open-source compared to closed source, so all other things being equal I would trust open-source more. Note that all other things are actually not equal in this case, e.g. your closest competition is open-source: Ollama, GPT4All, Llamero.
Youtube's recommendation algorithm has gotten terrible. There's a pretty low limit on the number of channels you can block. Additionally, different interfaces won't allow you to mark certain things like Mixes or Movies as "Not Interested" at all.

I have been paying for Youtube Red/Premium since like 2016 and I'm strongly considering canceling it and giving up on Youtube altogether. It's gotten that bad.

My replacement is just supporting the creators I like on Patreon or wherever they choose to put their content for a direct payment.

When I first encountered Unity it was because there were performance problems on a Japanese only version of Bejeweled built with it and they needed someone to fix it. It was a classic: creating huge numbers of new objects for particle effects hammering the gc, and the fill rate of the then cutting edge device GPUs not being a match for their screen resolutions.

Unity took several years, and a huge amount of investment, along with improvements in the wider ecosystem, before performance became much less of a concern for normal developers. A lot of the work they did around C# usage to achieve this is really surprisingly intense.

In the near future I seriously think 2D (and some subset of simple 3D) game devs would be better off looking at Defold, and if you want to make immersive 3D just bite the bullet and move to Unreal. These days cost of preparing assets drastically exceeds coding time anyway.
Solving some of those performance problems can also require a massive amount of engineering resources and investment, though. For example the way browsers (generally) overcame interop overhead was by self-hosting almost everything in JavaScript or making things into JIT intrinsics. That's a tall order for something like Godot with two languages.
I do suspect that there would be different people complaining in those two cases (with some overlap, sure).

Either way, the complains are pretty irrational. I live in San Francisco, where all the property owners are thrilled that their home value has surged in the past couple decades. Take away all the tech jobs, and see what happens to those home values... Can't have your cake and eat it too.

I don't agree. The whole concept is diverting money from places that need it (the ones with all the residents) to places that don't. That was at least sentimentally understandable when people were sending tax dollars to places they have actual connections to, but once it becomes about securing some kind of consumer goods it doesn't even have that justification and will obviously benefit most municipalities which least need the help (since they will be most able to put together an appealing package). Anyway, if you want artisanal ham there are plenty of butchers who would appreciate your business.

I'll try to do it justice in a comment but the book is here: "Van Gogh's Ear: Paul Gauguin and the Pact of Silence," by Hans Kaufmann and Rita Wildegans

A lot of circumstantial evidence but it's pretty telling. Paul Gauguin was an expert swordsman who carried a particular sword with him at all times. He and Vincent would have terrible fights when they lived together in Arles. We know that Paul was scheduled to move away the next day and that night they had a big fight and that Paul left town immediately in a rush leaving his sword behind. The new evidence that was found recently is a doctor's rendering of the cut ear. It's an extremely clean cut from the top, straight down.

There's more to it but those are some interesting details.
> "Our expenses are roughly $3,500/month, including our $1,350 boat payment," the couple told Here. "We took out a loan, similar to a mini-mortgage, to buy our sailboat. It's the first piece of 'property' like this we've ever owned."

Seems more like alternative living and could just as easily apply to an apartment-sized RV (think diesel pusher) or a lake/ski/mountain cabin.
Do you really think GP is arguing in favor of xenophobia? I'm undecided on this topic, but nothing they've said (that I've seen) suggests xenophobia. GP even indicates in a different area that they've traveled internationally, which is a difficult thing for xenophobes.

Unless you have somethign to point to that gives you confidence that GP is arguing the virtues of xenophobia, it's likely to be counter-productive to ongoing discussion.
That's a good thought but why stop there? Why not have some kind of national government that collects tax dollars and apportions them according to need?
ChatGPT is bad at the AutoHotKey (Windows automation scripting language), which is down to having two major largely incompatible versions of the language out, and a dearth of code examples out on the Internet.
It used to be that a scribe would painstakingly copy a manuscript, through the process absorbing the text at a deep level. This same scribe could then apply this knowledge to his own writing, or just understand and curate existing work. The manual labor required to copy at scale employed many scribes, who formed the next generation of thinkers.

With the press, a greasy workman can churn out hundreds of copies an hour, for whichever charlatan or heretic palms him enough coin. The people are flooded with falsehoods by men whose only interest in writing is how many words they can fit on a page, and where to buy the cheapest ink.

The worst part is that it is impossible to distinguish the work of a real thinker from that of a cheap sophist, since they are all printed on the same rough paper, and serve equally well as tomorrow's kindling.
ClickHouse Async insert docs [1].

We ran into some challenges with async inserts at highlight.io [2]. Namely, ClickHouse Cloud has an async flush size configured (that can't be changed AFAIK) that isn't large enough for our scale. Once you async insert more than can be flushed, you get back pressure on your application waiting to write while Clickhouse flushes the queue. We found that implementing our own batched flushing via kafka [3] is far more performant, allowing us to insert 500k+ RPS on the smallest cloud instance type.

About the current Russian state? No. It’s pathetic and broken, and I don’t see a way to fix it other than devolving it—functionally, not legally—to China.

About Russia as a culture, people and nation? Of course. Russian literature from the classics (Turgenev) to mid-century (Bulgakov) and modern, together with Soviet films, are among my favourite genres. I love the food. I adore the operas and music. And Russians’ sense of wit and humour is among the sharpest and funniest in the world. As a species also we’re eternally in the Soviet Union’s debt for their aerospace and medical advances, to say nothing of dealing the death blow to the Nazis at Leningrad.

Much of my bitterness towards Moscow stems from knowledge of the potential of Russia’s people that is being squandered, delayed or permanently destroyed, in service of delusions.

I'm not saying anyone deserved to die; the homeless in SF are basically not autonomous agents anymore. Right or wrong, it shifts it in my mind from "bus driver is at fault" to "nobody is at fault" (except the city that encourages themn to them stay drugged and on the streets).

Most of America doesn't have this housing pressure issue actually, only the top cities. And I believe you have the causation backwards; it's not "immigration would be bad because housing is rare" but rather "housing is expensive in California partly to keep immigrants out".

Some people say the immigrants will help because they'll contribute to construction. I think this is true but not an important point, and besides it probably annoys the construction unions to say it. Rather, immigrants can move to parts of the US that are cheap and starting to experience disinvestment, which is still most of it.

Besides that, housing isn't per-person, so if immigrants are more willing to live in families or have roommates it's less pressure than a lot of singles. And they pay taxes which you can use to build the housing.
That’s really weird. People are making all kinds of books and stories. And stories are relevant to their time. The matrix wouldn’t be written in 1900, a tale of two cities wouldn’t be written in 1200, …

It is true though that if you have a culturally diverse set of friends and are open to their experiences and opinions, a lot of “the classics” start to smell bad. Imagine being black and reading Grapes of Wrath. You might think the situation of the main characters as humorous or infantile, considering how relatively fortunate they are.
Much of tech is a theatre, a jobs program that keeps people employed in a middle class salary so long as they diligently pretend to be engineers. This theatre serves as a prop for a higher level theatre in our virtual economy for investors and their game of financialization.

Its expected that as tech grows in number of workers clutching to that middle-class life-raft that the baseline of knowledge discussed in tech spheres (like this site) will sink lower.
> It’s garbage content and immediately recognizable as being AI generated.

It's also recognizable by its sheer volume. An "author" who submits several new books every day is clearly not doing their own writing. The AI publishing scam relies on volume -- they can't possibly win on quality, but they're hoping to make up for that by putting so many garbage books on the market that buyers can't find anything else.

Show HN: Builder – Build tool with transparent logs and metadata for every build
A build automation tool that allows you to pass in a repo and build your project, while getting extensive metadata tied to your shippable product. There's no need to frantically track down build info if something goes wrong. Know who built it, in what directory, on what machine, at what time. Never not know again.

Yes, you'd want to read the code before running it.
This is a problem for anyone who is not actively vigilant about the information they consume. A family member (who I would not describe as "terminally online") came to me today in a panic talking about how some major event had just occurred and how social order was beginning to collapse. I quickly glanced at the headlines on a few major news outlets and realized that they just saw some incendiary content designed to elicit that reaction. I calmed them down and walked them through a process they could use to evaluate information like that in the future, and they were a little embarrassed.

The concern isn't necessarily for you. It's for the large swaths of people who are less equipped to filter through noise like this.
It's a pretty scattered landscape with everyone wanting something slightly different, but everyone has likely heard of Datadog at one point or another (whether they wanted to or not... but that's another story).

It becomes convenient short-hand for what they do (collect logs, metrics, traces, RUM, etc. for engineers to debug).

Though with more characters to write, I'd like to think we have a different take on both how our pricing model works and how easy it should be for an engineer to get started with us :)

$80k was not a modest salary in 1990; that was 2.7x the median household income. My dad made less than that in 1990 we lived comfortably in a 4BR house in the suburbs of DC.

[edit]

I should point out that my parents purchased a house for $100k in 1985 that, by inflation, should be worth $285k today. Instead, my friend's house (same neighborhood, 4BR, within 30 square-feet of the size of my house) just sold for over $800k. Ignoring affordability of the mortgage (which is complicated due to interest rate changes), my parents could not have swung the down payment a house that cost similar after inflation ($160k in 2023 dollars, ~$55k in 1985 dollars).

They're not cheap in NYC, but they are cheap in Tokyo's commuter zones, and generally speaking better in any non-Anglo country than in any Anglo country.

Overcrowding actually happens when you don't build enough housing. It causes more people to live in the same housing you already have.
Precisely. I spent weeks learning about cybersecurity when GPT-4 first came out, as I could finally ask as many stupid questions as I liked, get detailed examples and use-cases for different attacks and defenses, and generally actually learn how the internet around me works.

Now it refuses, because OpenAI's morals apparently don't include spreading openly available knowledge about how to defend yourself.

Scary. I have also been using it to generate useful political critiques (given a particular theoretical tradition, some style notes, and specific articles to critique, it's actually excitingly good). What if OpenAI decides that's a threat? What reason do we have to think that a powerful institution would not take this course of action, in the cold light of history?

> Wouldn't it be better to decouple those: provide an open, standard format that enables compact, fast, structured storage that is built to allow transaction/atomic updates.

The high-level software abstraction approach doesn't hold up when it comes to databases. This is such a wide and performance-critical interface that any abstractions are gonna leak badly. Even the SQL standard has all these impl-specific flavors. Many have tried to build layers on top that'll work with multiple DBMSes, and it's never worth. Anyone writing an app backend is just gonna marry a particular DBMS for the performance benefits (puns intended).

If for some reason an alternative implementation really needs to exist, SQLite is simple and open enough that someone can do it.
Is that really the case, though? It seems like Tokyo (etc.) are still doing just fine, and a lot of the smaller towns that act as "feeders" for the big cities get a boost, which allows the small towns to do a better job of educating their kids, which directly helps the big cities later on.

I think you maybe missed all the details in the article that explains why it's a little unfair that the small towns spend money to educate their citizens, but then don't get to reap the benefits of that education?

I do agree with you that the end result in Japan is now a bit weird, since many people "pick their hometown" based on whatever gift/deal is available. But I think even in the original formulation, the benefits were much more than just "sentimental".
