The existence of sunflowers in any sufficiently large set is an example of a fascinating field of combinatorics called Ramsey theory. The idea is that for a very wide range of structures, sufficiently large objects always necessarily contain substructures of arbitrary size because there's no way to avoid it as the amount of space inside the object grows.

The classic example is the "Theorem on Friends and Strangers", which states that in any group of six or more people, there is always some subset of three people who are either pairwise friends or pairwise strangers (or, in graph theoretic terms, three vertices that are either all pairwise connected by an edge or pairwise not connected by an edge).

This generalizes to larger subsets: in any group of 18 or more people, there's always some subset of four people who are pairwise friends or strangers, and in any group of 49 or more, there's always some subset of five (49 may not be optimal here; it's known to be between 43 and 49). The known bounds are quite weak: the number of people required to guarantee a mutual-friends-or-strangers subset of n people is known only to be omega(2^(n/2)) and little-o(2^2n), with no improvements on those bounds made despite nearly a century of work.
Nah, there is a whole cadre of emulators who have pushed emulation to the next step in the early 2010s, kind of spearheaded by Higan. They achieved cycle-accurate emulation of systems by eliminating the use of shortcuts. Behaviours are adequately reproduced, performance comes second. MAME has never held the crown of most acurate emulator, except in its field of expertise, the arcade.

MAME of course has gone in the same direction, but the project is known for its portability. So it means it has many emulation options to use less cycle accurate methods to run on RaspberryPi for example. From my limited experience, those far older emulators filled with performance-focused shortcuts are the default in MAME. So if you want the most acurate emulation, MAME isn't really it.

To do all of those you have to go to the person and perform the search, the law can also go to a person and perform a search of their E2E encrypted files by getting a warrant and requiring them to unlock the devices. Providing a back door in E2E for law enforcement gives them the weakness to search anyone's traffic with or without a warrant, it's also an ambivalent weakness anyone can potentially exploit. Compromises in digital systems for communications are infinitely more abusable than any physical search because they can be performed automatically and at a massive scale, pretending they won't or can be trusted to follow the law is ignoring the 2 decades of evidence we've been given since the Patriot Act allowed mass wiretapping.

That's naïve. No matter how amazing your launch game is, a large fraction of your install base will just never bother. Maybe they don't have the money, or they're just frugal. Maybe they're skeptical and reluctant to upgrade. Maybe they just don't like whatever genre of game.

It has been tried again and again and again. Optional console accessories and upgrades just never have enough of an install base to attract a critical mass of devs.

they're referring to how an image will get perceived if its flattened in a photo v. experienced with binocular vision. drawing from life is taking 3D and making it 2D. drawing from a photo is taking 2D and keeping it 2D. also it did occur to me a photo will likely struggle to reproduce color as accurately as it occurs in real life. i mean just yesterday i pulled over to take a photo of the rising sun lighting up the underside of mammatus clouds and my iphone couldn't do it justice. i don't think the claim is silly; i was an art major at one point and went through this very discussion in my life drawing class.
ALL of them, seriously? Never missed one or went on vacation and the paper got thrown out (assuming that was the predominant medium)? Can all of you populate a spreadsheet by heart and argue in good faith with due accuracy as to each one out of the likely 1,000s?

Sorry but I doubt that. But even so, it still doesn't lend itself to your point. You're saying 1,000s are perfection but + one new strip would immediately or at least in some historically-tainting way destroy everything? Is everything really that fragile?

>The transliteration is generally standardised

I am not sure about that part, iirc Bulgarian folks can pick how their name gets to be transliterated during the application for passport.

>English speakers tend to avoid even trying to use the other alphabet

Why care about English only, most of the Europe is not natively English speaking (save for the UK, Ireland and Malta) - the odds are the name are to be transliterated once to 'English', then pronounced in Spanish (think of the glorious H and J) or German (W vs V)
For a long time `npm` would do that to your stdout/in, which didn't impact anything in interactive shells because your shell resets it every time it shows the prompt, but run those same commands in a bash script and later processes will crash with strange error messages because no one has ever tested with stdout being nonblocking. So much for separate processes being independent.

"FULL name as written on my ID"

This is completely normal for official documents in Germany and it makes sense for us.

Technically we do not have first, second or any other numbered names. Our given names form a set in the mathematical sense and any one is equally valuable. This comes from the tradition of given names being given by godmothers and godfathers and we wouldn't want to get into the issue to ever have to value one of them over another. At least this has been the case in some parts of Germany and has influenced the official regulations for names.

Of course the names have to be put into an order on your ID and to keep things simple banks, schools, authorities, etc. ask you to use that order on their documents.

Traditionally, official documents just used the surname with "Herr" or "Frau" but nowadays they often use just the given name in first position on your ID.

If never heard of a "First Second" case with one exception:

Given names can be connected with a dash. In this case the order is fixed and the whole unit is treated like a single name. While in principle arbitrary names can be combined there are certain very common combinations, like "Hans-Peter", "Karl-Heinz" or "Franz-Xaver". If you happen to be named "Hans Peter"
(without dash) it's likely that they assume the dash and will call you "Hans Peter" or "Hans-Peter" all the time.

The usual answer is "it's not my job", which you use here.

That's great - throwing rocks from the sidelines is real easy, but it's not clear exactly what you want to happen, so let's instead actually be clear and concrete about that.

So again, concretely: Is your suggestion that someone should review every single web page crawled by a search engine, Google or anyone else?

If not, can we move past the silly quips and try to get to a better place constructively?

I’d love to see more remixing on top of API’s websites typically only expose for their own use.
This is indeed a fair point, and part of why I'm not really into it.

In theory, you'd save a bunch of time and then use that extra time to add more polish to the product. But in practice, what you'd actually be doing is reading someone else's (or something else's) code, and people who want to rely on AI are not the same people who have the stomach to do that.

So they're either going to (a) abandon the generated code and write their own, in which case, what was the point to begin with? Or (b) they're going to just say "fuck it" and push the generated code to prod.

Neither of those are good outcomes.

It isn't different.

Let's not change the subject - this isn't about responding to complaints - the suggestion here was basically that someone should have to review every single web page that gets indexed.

Either that's what we want or it isn't.

The first claim seems kind of obvious, doesn't it? You have the opportunity to paint something closer to an experience of a place or scene, but a photo will encourage you to make a reproduction of a scene as taken by a photo.

For colors, I'm assuming that while you can make exactly the color in the photograph, the colors will mix on the canvas leading to a muddying of the colors. I'm not a painter, but I'm guessing you'd want to create brighter colors so that the final result matches your intended color. (And also it's easier to dull colors than to brighten them.)

Hasn't Microsoft long been pushing for everything new to be written in .NET, which is a virtual machine like Java?
We'll never know because it was never really tried. With novel tech, there needs to be plenty of experimentation.

The market did not try quite a few things with Kinect. Most publishers put out a game, one single game, presumably subsidized by MS, and then went back to making games for the base console because there was not a Kinect install base.
This is again, a great quip, but let's go back to the literal concrete question i asked, to see what line is getting drawn here.

Should Google, or whoever, have to literally review every single page they index?

If yes, how do you expect that to work.
If no, what is actually being suggested beyond the quips?
Nice this made me go back and check up on the Gorilla LLM project [1] to see whats they are doing with API and if they have applied their fine tuning to any of the newer foundation models but looks like things have slowed down since they launched (?) or maybe development is happening elsewhere on some invisible discord channel but I hope the intersection of API calling and LLM as a logic processing function keep getting focus it's an important direction for interop across the web.

Doing this is really challenging if you don't fix your sleep schedule to accommodate this or if you have a social life that happens later at night.

It took me half a year to get to a point where I can wake up at 0600 without an alarm. I used to wake up at all sorts of times before, usually 0900-1000.

I had to do CBTi and wake up at 0600 every day, even on weekends, no matter what time I went to bed. It was rough.

Once I got there, staying up and being social past 2200 became challenging. I'm being extremely selective about when I hang out late now, which is fine for me since I don't have many friends, but I can see this not working at all for someone more social than me.

When properties are chopped up into n apartments, they should be counted as n separate properties.

I've just looked at the search results for immobilienscout24.de for Germany-wide "houses" for sale — scare-quotes because based on my other searches, quite a lot turned out to be apartments (individual or the whole building[1]) or hotels[2] — out of a total of 164,772 properties only 12,759 were at least 300 m^2, or 7.7%. Even eight percent cannot possibly be counted as "typical".

Of course, it is possible that the people entering info into immobilienscout24 are regularly not paying attention, as this "one room" property with "19 apartments" and "52 garages" suggests: https://www.immobilienscout24.de/expose/146925779?referrer=R...

They did not try. There was no trying. It was not eventual. They folded before it ever came to market.

And the thing already had worse performance than the PS4, so dropping the Kinect really meant just having an inferior product with no product differentiation.
Show HN: Orbital – Dynamically unifying APIs and data with no glue code
Hey HN,

I'm excited to share Orbital, a new approach for unifying APIs and Data sources!

Rather than relying on glue code to bridge endpoints, Orbital leverages annotations in schemas & API specs to build the integration dynamically.

The traditional method of crafting glue code often becomes repetitive and burdensome to maintain in the long run.

With Orbital, developers embed tags to their existing API specs (OAP, Protobuf, etc), indicating where data can be sourced, and publish these specs to Orbital (which runs self-hosted).

Consumers query these tags with our TaxiQL language,
and Orbital generates the integration on the fly. That could be merging multiple APIs, blending API and database queries,
or enriching event streams to craft custom message payloads.

It feels a lot like writing GraphQL, but there's no resolvers to maintain, and producers are free to use a variety of API Spec languages.

The beauty of using tags over field names is the adaptability. As API developers update and publish their specs, the integration remains seamless and automatically adjusts.

Under the hood, the tags (and associated query language) are actually Taxi - an OSS meta-language and toolchain we build (and have shared previously). Orbital is a query engine that executes TaxiQL queries, generating the integration.

We've been working on this for a while, and have a number of production deployments. We recently made the move to make the source available on Github under a mix of Apache 2 (Open Core) and BuSL.

In a nutshell, Orbital excels in Data Composition (covering APIs, DBs), crafting Bespoke Event Streams, and streamlining ELT workloads into databases.

Excited to hear your thoughts and feedback!
