I think part of the reason is a whole generation of people for whom a realistic simulation of how nudging the entire cabinet causes vibrations and wobble would be an anti-feature, because they aren't intuitive to the current majority of gamers who have never ever handled a physical pinball machine, and they would rather mechanics that are more visual and less tactile, focusing on the gameplay that can be fully represented on the screens and devices they use instead of attempting to simulate a real, physical machine.

The market niche of people who'd appreciate insane fidelity of physics simulation in pinball is shrinking every year, so we'd expect less games now than yesteryear, and even less such games in future. On the other hand, there could be a market for more 'gamey' mechanics (as you say, smashing the glass with a hammer) in the style of many 'physicsy' virtual reality games, but the preferences of that market is probably the opposite of what pinball purists would want.

I’ll use this opportunity to say that D Lang is awesome and that I wish it gains wider adoption. I simply love that language and the community and I thank you for everything you do.

On topic, indeed, shaming is never an option. But still I wish companies would donate to projects - in some countries there are even tax incentives to do so, and the benefit is that they essentially externalise development of a valuable tool for them. Also would earn a lot of good will - as steam does (while not sponsoring money directly).

That's fair. Those are all mostly mutually exclusive.

Personally I wait until several generations have gone by (at minimum 4 intel, 2 Nvidia), so it's best to just replace almost everything. It's a lot of fun assembling a new machine.

A more appropriate solution to the problem of cloned FLOSS apps is establishing a trademark.

Open source has not failed. Attempts to build viable business models around it may have. That's not a weakness of open source but a weakness of software business.

When you have a product with very low marginal cost of production, the market price for the product often tends towards $0. If you have a business that sells software licenses and someone develops a viable alternative (for whatever reason) and starts distributing it for free, you may have a hard time competing against them. And if the free alternative gains enough market share, both parties may find it difficult to pay for continued development. That's just how the market works.

This is hilarious, and completely absolves everyone from bad decision making like this. My immediate reaction to 23andme was "there's no way in hell I'm sending something as private and personal as my DNA to a private company".

Why? Because there's no telling what happens to it. It's a failure of judgement to believe that just because a company is reputable today that it will be reputable tomorrow. Companies change owners, they change board members, they get bought and sold. And _hacked_.

So let's stop this nonsense of giving everyone a free pass because it was a "solid, reputable company". Maybe we can give grandma a pass, but someone on a technically minded forum such as HN should know better.

I use Brave and I'm not super disturbed by this. The Windows Service isn't even running, it's just installed (presumably to reduce friction in the case I were to start using their VPN I wouldn't have to go through an additional installation process). Sure, it's a little bit more intrusive than is ideal for people who like to keep a close on what gets installed into Services, but at the end of the day, is there a real problem here?

I'm not denying that bias or that animosity that you describe. It may well be that Hungary is despised in some circles because it's more conservative than most European countries.

That is still compatible with a dispassionate evaluation of the democratic quality of its political system.

Again, I'm not necessarily defending my sources here. But I'm not automatically discounting them, either.

The Economist classifies Hungary as a flawed democracy due to a very poor mark in "political participation", "functioning of government" and "civil liberties". Those sections look at measures such as "voter participation/turn-out for national elections", "the degree to which the judiciary is independent of government influence", "the degree to which citizens are treated equally under the law", "how pervasive is corruption", "is there an effective system of checks and balances on the exercise of government authority", etc.

Freedom House ranks Hungary poorly in aspects such as "are safeguards against official corruption strong and effective", "are there free and independent media", "is there freedom for nongovernmental organizations, particularly those that are engaged in human rights– and governance-related work", "is there an independent judiciary", etc.

If you have reports that put Hungary at the top on rankings of democratic health, freedom, civil rights, etc — please share them, and we can evaluate their merits. Otherwise, these reports are the most comprehensive I know of, so I have to use those.

Social darwinism is inescapable.

With taxes funding the work, there will be some (aggregate) metric to decide who gets the grants, and some committee to decide said metric and apply it. Which inevitably leads to corruption, both in directly gaming the metric and in greasing the committee wheels to choose the metric that favors certain kind of projects, certain kind of credentials, and/or certain socio-ethno-economic identity markers of the authors.

While the capitalist system is nakedly brutal, at least offers a skilled, determined and lucky person the opportunity to spend a part of their career earning (temporary) financial independence, and then spend it to finance their own projects.

It really depends on who shows up in a thread first.

Ford F150 hybrid (or even the full-electric version) can provide all the electricity needed to charge the spare batteries in the trailer while the crew is working with the main batteries.

Sound is barely above truck idle, way way below the gas-powered equipment noise.

The problem in my area is that an F150 is just not manly enough. Gotta have the F250 or F350. Heck, just the other day I saw a landscaper in my neighborhood using an F450 to haul his 1000 pound box trailer around.

"full throttle" here means half the normal CFM I bet.

The government doesn't offer a guarantee of safety, or even a guarantee to try its best. Responsibility ultimately lies with the individual to protect themselves.
Maybe the people at Amazon working on the design were under performance measuring so demanding they have to pee into bottles under their desks, like the drivers are.

>And for like 90% of them I was right. But the remaining 10%

I'd argue that this kind of language isn't even right. It's not only that you don't know when you need something, you don't even know when you use it. If we've learned one thing from the success of ML systems it's that the proper representation of knowledge is extremely complex and connected. Everything influences everything else. You can't learn "10%" of a language, or "10% of programming", as if there exists some chunk neatly separated from the rest.

It's much more likely everything you learned contributes to most of what you do, even if we're not actively aware of it. You can't learn x% of Mandarin by learning y% of the words, it's not even appropriate to separate anything into useful or useless. Almost everything you pick up just illuminates your mental model just a little bit more.

FF installs plugins without your consent. Brave installs software which can circumvent security controls without your consent.

Safari has no plugins and is Mac/iOS-only. Chrome is designed to be as privacy invasive as humanly possible. I think Edge is right behind it and has the added insult of looking like a Fischer-Price toy.

Arc, Vivaldi, Orion, and Opera are irrelevant jokes. I wouldn’t trust Pale Moon, Waterfox, Ungoogled Chromuim, etc. because I still remember Iron Browser.

Show HN: New LLM outperforming GPT-3.5
Refuel LLM (84.2%) outperforms trained human annotators (80.4%), GPT-3-5-turbo (81.3%), PaLM-2 (82.3%) and Claude (79.3%) across a benchmark of 15 text labeling datasets. It is a Llama-v2-13b base model, trained on over 2500 unique datasets (5.24B tokens) spanning categories such as classification, entity resolution, matching, reading comprehension and information extraction.

Here is the interactive demo: https://labs.refuel.ai/playground. Pretty fun to play with!

> Instead of limiting the drivers maximum speed to the legal street speed, we instead just tell their boss?

I don't know about the Rivian, but many driver monitoring systems are aftermarket retrofits, not vehicle manufacturer parts. The driver monitoring system is just a fancy dashcam with cloud uploading features, and a bunch of people in a low-income country manually labelling video clips.
> Crypto/blockchain can't enforce anything in the real world.

Exactly! At some point a real person has to choose to honor your hotel room NFT or not, just as easily as they could choose to honor your driver's license or not. There's no advantage to mucking up the entire system with crypto and blockchain.
IMHO in this respect we already have built 'what we collectively want', however, the limiting factor is a lack of will to use or prefer privacy-preserving solutions. The society has voted with its attention and wallets, and it doesn't want what the tech people think is good for society. You can't build a technical solution to a social problem - well, you can, but it won't get used and so it won't solve anything.

This alone invalidates any of your claim that there is anything fair and accurate about the polling or election numbers.

BofA isn't just funding itself only with deposits (and how is that split between term and demand deposits). There is funding via bonds and repos, for example, and those bonds provide long-term funding.
I would argue that a world that didn't have JS would make these types of attacks more common, not less common. Because in that world, people would have to download desktop apps for everything, which would make people used to downloading desktop apps from random Web pages, which would make malware easier to distribute.

In fact, we don't have to imagine that world: it was the world of the late 90s.

That's because the performance monitoring / # of packages they're expected to deliver is so high, they don't even have time to take bathroom breaks.

Amazon (through its "delivery partners") as a purposeful business model works people so hard they don't stick around long enough to have the seniority to qualify for all the benefits Amazon / the delivery partners advertise.
Or alternatively, you can pursue security through compartmentalization. My VM for random browsing has JS enabled, but if I'm hacked, the attacker will not get access to any files. Also the VM is destroyed when the browser is closed.
Still not as accessible to non-techies as VB was, but I've been really enjoying using the Godot game engine for making simple GUI apps.
This is my take as well.

You have a service thats installed for one-click operations from Brave customers that want to use their VPN. The VPN service doesn't run in the background post-installation and no tunnels are established.

I see the customer experience reasoning here. Can someone explain the actual risks - I'm not seeing any.
Northern Michigan is projected to be the most sought after markets in the US come 2050. The jet stream is indeed moving north and the climate will become milder over time. Michigan is also surrounded by the Great Lakes which account for 20% of earth's fresh water.
Worth noting that ES-style imports do improve the scenario for cyclic dependencies though, assuming you do not need to reference the symbols imported during the execution of the top level statements. This is because `import { bar } from './bar.js'` makes `bar` a "live binding" -- even if `bar.js` also imports `foo.js` and thus `bar` may initially be undefined due to the cyclic dependency, later when `bar.js` completes its initialization of `bar`, the identifier `bar` in `foo.js` will be updated to match.

So if you just need to call that binding within, say, a function or a method call, its typically fine to do so assuming that by the time that function or method call is executed, both modules will have completed their initializations.
Electromagnetic radiation is pretty universal (ha). We might expect that many advanced life forms have ways to detect it.
Yep, and you can bet the government will continue using that as an excuse to bludgeon it with more regulation.
The true successors to VB today are low code tools like Retool. Visually create an internal app for your business, then use a (relatively) simple language (this time JavaScript) to make it do basic CRUD stuff.

For various reasons, we kind of lost that pragmatic approach when apps moved from the desktop to the web browser, and we've only just recently started to revisit it.

What does a bank write if it's in a good place and the rumors are baseless? Or do you just leave the bank regardless of that to be sure?
> It's less of a popular choice for new projects than it ever was.

Totally disagree. I think it was at its trough of popularity in the Java 8 initial release timeframe around 10 years ago, when many companies were still stuck on Java 6 and other languages had moved way ahead. In the last few years, since around Java 17, there has been a ton of enthusiasm and I think it would be the best choice for a huge number of use cases.

You can't do this in Python your bucket will always have hole you can't plug. Arbitrary exceptions can appear anywhere in your code thanks to signal handlers.

KeyboardInterrupt is the one you probably know without knowing.

Exceptions can even come from higher in the stack down to you with the .throw method on generators.
There was apparently a Y-Combinator Research [0], and it seemed like HARC was maybe going to carry on the mantel of STEPS [1](the 20,000 lines-of-code complete operating system, GUI, and pretty much everything else) along with Alan Kay, etc..

They're using such a wide definition of censorship that it'd be impossible to create a tech platform without censorship as there's just too much content for a single individual to consume, so one way or another the design decisions in the platform are going to prioritise which content to show to users in the time they have available. Light touch moderation has the exact opposite effect on public debate than this article is intending: A simple chronological feed prioritises the loudest voices and censors infrequent posters. Voting prioritises shorter snappier content and censors thoughtful longform content.
Every EV fleet i've talked to placed the range at <= 100 mi.
Tcl/Tk has entered the chat.

Some of us don't want to spend an hour rat wrestling to get a form up -- a form that won't even tolerate resizing very well. Tcl/Tk is pretty much the fastest way to go from zero to functional GUI I've ever seen -- especially if you already have some functionality that works from the command line and just need to wrap it. It's also available from Python as Tkinter, and is amenable to repl driven development.
Starfleet is supposed to be filled with the most intrinsically motivated, hard-working, determined, smartest people in the Federation.
