I’d like to see rolling data on how people are turning away from lower quality media. Or what premium is being placed on 720p+ video versus standard.

There’s a reason video sites offer a filter for HD and YouTube videos get keyword stuffed for 8k even when they aren’t.

I am very curious how Apple’s spatial video lands.

From reviewer descriptions, the experience is such a major change from standard HD video I am wondering if depthscaling “old” video will become a thing too.
Poland's opposition has path to oust populist ruling party, exit poll shows
Don't they have some kind of small scale force field technology that stops anything (eg. bullets) moving above a certain speed? iirc there was a duel where Paul Atreides was consistently a tiny bit slow on his attacks, due to his training in aristocratic duelling where everyone has personal shields, which was interpreted as him deliberately toying with his opponent.

For bonus points, energy weapons weren't really used because if one hit a shield, it would cause an explosion (centered on the energy weapon maybe?) that would take out half a city.
Would this work for a RPi? In particular the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2

>> Why Is the Front End Stack So Complicated?

Because it's always morphing. Once upon a time, it was only desktop. Then it became mobile. Then the browser added "features" and websites want that "feature". Video. Animation. Accessibility. Wasm. Then where do we hosts websites? I used to be a desktop in a closet, then it became dedicated, containerized, serverless, server-side, client-side, monolith, micro-arch. Information morphs, too. Tracking, telemetry, A/B testing, search, session state, data storage, AI.

Where do we go next?

One reason to like the visa mastercard duopoly. They work everywhere. I go to the Netherlands a lot for work, and it is a real pain as they have their own payment system, IDEAL, one needs to live there, that is closed to foreigners. Many vendors, especially outside of main tourist areas will not take foreign cards. Guess they don't want to pay 0.1% fees. Yesterday, was left embarrassed in Albert Heijn where they only took Dutch cards and I did not have enough cash. (some AH do, most don't)
Some people consider this the end of the world, other think this is great. Would be interesting to see how this folds out.

IMHO, unless you state your project meets CRA you should be off the hook. Worst case, your readme has to explicitly say you don't fulfil CRA.

Mouth rinses often contain alcohol or other harsh substances, some of which have a correlation with mouth cancer. By comparison, flossing is comparatively harmless. You can floss wrong, but even that seems better than not flossing.

From experience: I used to rinse AND floss, and the floss always came back with a little bit of organic matter which would’ve otherwise decomposed.

So arguing against floss in praise of mouth rinses doesn’t seem like such an obvious ‘just do it’ idea. It’s probably more nuanced than that. And you can always use the wrong rinse or rinse incorrectly.
That's so silly.

Thanks for your feedback @skrebbel. We called it MemGPT - in reference to teaching LLMs how to manage their own memory hierarchy. The idea and title evolved when we realized we were teaching the LLM to read/write, and this enabled perpetual chatbots, doc QA, etc. Various capabilities by a few simple abstractions, inspired by the original unix paper's 4 key abstractions - read/write/open/close. Further, in the title we say "Towards", indicating a qualified step in that direction.

> That website has the worst design imaginable.

Firefox reader mode fixes that, and that site really needs it.

Reviewers of the Culture novels tend to project their own political biases onto it. This writer quotes Marx a bit too much. There's some other review where someone was trying to read race and gender issues onto the Culture. They're missing the point.

The Culture novels describe a stable society where the machines are in charge. That's been addressed many times in science fiction, but not, usually, well. Asimov's later robot novels, where it become clear that the robots are manipulating humanity, do address it. That's about as good as it gets. Frank Herbert's Dune has the "Butlerian Jihad", but Herbert's idea of robot social organization is just humans in robot costume. Jack Williamson's "Humanoids" stories, about benign but overprotective robots, reflect someone getting the goal system slightly wrong.

In more popular culture, The Forbin Project (1970), a movie which seems to be enjoying a renaissance, does address the issue. The machines which control the nuclear weapons of both sides get into contact, and agree to take over to keep humanity from destroying itself. They come up with a reasonably sensible plan for running things, which is fleshed out more in the books.

The Star [Trek|Wars|Gate] universe never really addresses this directly, since it would undermine the show's stars. Nor does the Marvel universe; AIs appear, but are not in charge. There's Marshall Brain's "Manna", of course, the dystopian version of this.

The Culture novels show a stable society that's run by intelligent machines yet is flexible, adaptable, can deal with crises, and is pleasant for humans to live in. They don't show how to get there. Which is a problem.
Everyone makes bad games, IMO he did some really exceptional ones;

so I agree its a valid marketing strat and so far it worked out for him, more or less.

I think people are so passionate in this thread because we want him to be better, to actually be the godsent genius that will make the ultimate game.

I gotta say no game designer made me dream like Molyneux and just for that I love him, even if not all of his dreams became reality.

But he has the vision and power to inspire, and that is rare as well.
I have a customer that uses Vue. It's much easier than React but still not easy enough. The complication as usual is the state management. There are prop local to a component and a global state. Computed values and "real" values. There are different ways to update those values some as easy as to assign to this.property and some complicated calls to functions somewhere else. Again, compared to React there is less time lost in boilerplate and puzzles, but it's still too much given that often all I want to do is equivalent to

this.parent.aList.push(item)

or

globalState.customersList.push(item)

Ideally I'd write it in JavaScript instead of using an API. I would accept

globalState(customerList, "push", item)

if calling a function of the library is the only way to trigger the UI update code.

Edit. I add an extra nuisance that could be solved by a better and more straightforward syntax

I have to work with code like this

store.js:
import * as model from './modules/model'

component.vue:
import { mapState } from 'vuex'
computed: {
...mapState('model', ['model']),
}
this.$store.dispatch('model/method', {...})

which calls "method" defined in "model" and which is very convoluted compared to what we are used to in other languages

import Model from `store/model`
Model.update(args)

If often think that framework and library authors don't try hard enough to build tools with simple interfaces. That reminds me about Erlang/Elixir handle_call/handle_cast.
You can write `extern "C"` declarations in modules, actually. And either way the complexity of C++ and its name mangling is independent of headers vs modules, no?

Further, swig does seem to support quite a bit of C++. IIUC it even avoids dealing with name mangling by generating wrappers that provide a C interface.

"always was" is such terrible rhetoric. hand-wavey and without substance. A thought terminating cliche.

It honestly makes crypto look desirable, and buildings designed with sensor blocking materials. You can't passively surveil a data-center. Why should my home, office or shopping mall be any different?

The powers-that-be never gave us a choice to opt-out. It's been a slow gradual decline.

We have to incentivize haggling over our own data. My unseen/unknown data is my asset and I will protect it's financial value.

We can't trust random joes to not sell out crypto exchanges and the like, so you have to build technology that functions as a manual crypto exchange - without a developer on it's back to pull the ripchord and destroy the technology whenever money shows up.

Manual software is key, as soon as it becomes "automated", some developer has to be roped into hand-holding it through tech changes. Crypto software that only exists because a man put it together and went hands-off, is Key.

Then you can build the normal philosophical/structural/relationship management ideas on top of that.

Chicken, meet egg
It depends. It's not a silver bullet, but sometimes ozonating a little smelly house does wonders (I've tried and it helped immensely for a smell which I couldn't get rid of). If you don't remove the reason why mold started, it will return. As for health standard - you need to ozonate when no one is around and then refresh the air. Breathing in ozone will destroy your lungs. If you need to ozonate more than twice a year, something's wrong and you need to alleviate primary reason for mold first.
Artificial Intelligence Poses New Risks in Biological Weapons Development
Always cringeworthy when the average bum coder on HN with zero attention span or intellectual curiosity criticizes papers way out of their intellectual depth without reading further than the title. They are describing a new concept using "operating system" almost as a metaphor. This is a way to describe novel concepts. The article abstract makes the point clear and only takes a few seconds to read.

One of my dreams, if I am ever able to retire while still able bodied and have some extra cash, is to buy a broke ass fully mechanical pinball machine and fully restore it. Tear it down to its frame and go over everything and restore it to perfect condition. The kind of restoration where I will inevitably sink far more money into the machine than it will ever be worth. Maybe a mechanical pachinko machine too.

I am sure it will be so frustrating and I will love the shit out of it. I wish this was still a viable career option. I do electronics repair work as a side business because I really enjoy it. the vast majority of what I end up doing is fixing broken consoles and the occasional piece of industrial equipment from a local business that doesn’t want to spend $$$ on an entire new pcb or whatever. That’s fun in its own right but there’s something about a big mechanical thing with solenoids and whatnot that’s just so much cooler. I occasionally will get a 3d printer or cnc and that’s somewhat close I guess. One time I did buy a vintage cash register from 1923 and redid that. It was a total pain but so much fun and actually turned out to be worth quite a bit once cleaned up and working well. Not nearly enough to justify the amount of time it took of course

Sometimes I see YouTube videos of people that restore stuff like this for work and I have to wonder how they sustain that in this day and age. Do they live near pinball fanatics? Are they just “the person” for pinball restoration? I’ll keep working my day job and continue to occasionally do it for fun I suppose
The fact that the timer and the job are separate in systemd is actually a blessing, because now you can start your jobs manually and actually test that they work.
> You never know when changing one element is going to change another, seemingly unrelated element

Isn't this a symptom of the selectors not being specific enough?

> You can't reliably reuse your styling or components between pages, because the exact same element placed in two different pages might end up with radically different styling

Can you give concrete examples of this happening?

I can provide an example I think is a good use case for highly specific selectors: turning HTML lists into file system trees.

https://www.matheusmoreira.com/css/tree.css

ul.tree,
ul.tree ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
}

ul.tree li {
margin-left: 1em;
border-left: 2px solid var(--tree-color);
}

ul.tree li code {
display: block;
position: relative;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-bottom: 0;
line-height: 1em;
}

ul.tree li:not(ul.tree > li:first-child) code::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left: -2px;
width: 0.75em;
height: 0.5em;
border: 2px solid var(--tree-color);
border-top: 0 none transparent;
border-right: 0 none transparent;
}

ul.tree li:last-child {
border-left: 2px solid transparent;
}

ul.tree li:has(ul) > code::after {
content: "/";
}

<ul class="tree">
<li><code>~/.files</code>
<ul>
<li><code>~</code>
<ul>
<li><code>.bash_profile</code></li>
<li><code>.bashrc</code></li>
<li><code>.vimrc</code></li>
<li><code>...</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>GNUmakefile</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

That sort of thing feels like a perfect fit for CSS selectors to me. I admit it's not a super complex design (or even a beautiful one, I suck at design) but it does demonstrate the value of selectors.
Have you looked into netdata? It can do this and much more, it’s very flexible. No relation, just a big fan!
Thanks for the comment. Yes, it also does something very similar. But, Magic Wormhole requires "Mailbox Server", to deliver messages from one to another, which seems a requirement, where in aft it doesn't. It also requires both clients to be on the same "Mailbox Server" to transit messages between them. Requiring a server by default doesn't seems reasonable only to omit IP addresses.

Each program has it's unique benefits, Magic Wormhole looks great, but I do believe that aft gives you more configuration by default, and its more accessible to you.

Also, some people like Rust more than Python ;)

Neither the EFF or PIRG mention Apple Card. I was under the impression that Apple had taken measures to prevent exactly this kind of information from being leaked from Apple Card use.

That is, beyond rotation of card numbers whenever Apple Pay is used.

Knowing Apple has put an emphasis on customer privacy, and that Apple Card is run on Mastercard makes zero mention of it in either article kind of stand out to me.

It would be great to get clarification on what the scope is of Apple Card customer exposure to Mastercard’s commercialization of payment data.

YoY Sales of Wii U Grow Exponentially
Actually, dark matter isn't the only game in town.

The whole need for dark matter arose from the fact that our theories (on gravity) didn't match some of our observations - while matching other observations phenomenally well.

Abstractly speaking, when theory doesn't match observations, either the theory is lacking, or the observations are. Dark matter is the hypothesis that the observations are lacking. The alternative is to come up with modifications of Einsteinian gravity that preserve accordance with observations where it's extremely good (e.g. perihelion shift of Mercury), and modify only the results for the parts where the match with observations is lacking. To the best of my knowledge, this category is collectively called MOND.

There are some good reasons to think that there exists a type of matter that we cannot observe - not that we didn't happen to see it like some small black hole in the middle of nowhere, but that our current instruments literally cannot see it, only its effects. There are also some reasons to think otherwise. The main one for that is that dark matter, by its nature, should be something. So not only should dark matter theories make predictions that can be proven, evidence for dark matter should eventually answer the question "what is dark matter?" That is a bit of a problem: right now, it might as well be unicorn farts.
Would be great if I could do this. Got a load of Wii and Wii U games, and an old console, but the game pad has issues and can't find any replacements local to me, or for a reasonable price.

They did not invent credit cards. Diners Club was a charge card. They did not invent that either. American Airlines had their own charge card a few decades before.

They did start the first payment card that wasn’t linked to a specific company (i.e. the American Airlines card).

I believe this is because of the widespread use of shield projectors which repel anything moving too fast (faster than a slow knife stroke or hunter seeker). Some other interactions around shields:

Lasers hitting shields basically results in a fusion explosion which would bring down the wrath of the Houses/Imperium.

Shields are not used much on Dune due to shorting out from storms and attracting worms. This results in some use of projectile weapons when the Harkonnens seal the Atreides troops in caves with mortars or the Fremen shoot the noses of off the Emperors spaceships with artillery.

Nothing wrong with them at all but the scale is just totally different, it’s like running a small bakery shop vs an industrial factory churning out bread for supermarkets
> For bonus points, energy weapons weren't really used because if one hit a shield, it would cause an explosion

This never really made much sense to me. IRRC when an energy weapon hits a shield either the emitter or the shield generator blows up. Since shields are protecting something while the emitter can be anywhere to me the logical outcome seems to be energy weapons everywhere and no shields at all.
That's a very nice implementation, not even janky on my old Mac. Great.

My understanding is that unwilling conscripts are widely regarded as less than worthless in a modern military.

It’s a little different for Ukraine since their conscripts are so highly motivated by defending their home, but even they were turning away recruits for a while. I’m sure the same kind of motivated conscripts could be found if the US mainland were threatened but that’s not what’s being contemplated here.
Thanks for the feedback. Only an address is needed to be specified. There is a default port built into the source code. But, I believe in the near future I will add some kind of algorithm to extract IP addresses from phrases.

It's a society where the VAST majority of people are happy. Really truly happy. A society that is in ecological balance with nature.

If Brave New World is a dystopia, what does that make the world we live in now? It has to be some kind of super-dystopia, because it's worse in every way you can possibly imagine.
Actually all current card payment providers should be put out of business altogether. Two companies(master/visa) hold complete control over the entire customer spending in the whole world.- They also prevented banks from catching up to the 21st century, technology-wise, and we still do not have instant online payments. There is so many things bad with banking and many causes can be traced back to these card payment providers. We need alternatives, as many as there are banks in the world. Every bank needs to be a card payment provider, an online payment gateway providers and so on.
