I want to get involved in the design/prototyping. My skills are Deep Learning, a bit of statistics, finance and frontend dev, and I played a lot of games. I'd say if I spent a few years on it myself, I eventually could make a prototype, but I feel given my position I have more leverage if I just act as an investor + co-designer. I also know this is a very risky investment and I understand that the most likely scenario is that nothing comes out of it (I made other similar investments in the past)

I said noita is the closest I found, but it's still pretty far from what I envision.
I also understand that this idea is probably not enough to make a game compelling. It's more a mechanic that could be added to a broader game. There are many possibilities there which should be mostly chosen by an experienced team or studio and not by me.
Perhaps it would be better not to attract too much extraterrestrial attention.
That's interesting and sad that they're polling so high.

It makes me question what culpability a nation has with the actions of its government. If "let the politicians run politics" or (they're a mean mob so we don't risk putting up a fight) is the thought of the citizens and then a war is started, as civilians are we indemnified or responsible?
That's what I'm afraid of. TBH, the whole brouhaha over Tesla and the so called "Elon mode" highlighted this. The whole problem was caused by hackers modifying the system.

The government is threatening to regulate and require more advanced firmware security. There've been similar issues with emissions devices and security, since modification could defeat emissions standards.

It isn't clear to me that the practical impact of these bills will automatically lead to the rights that I'd want.

"If Brian Chesky, cofounder and CEO at Airbnb, listened to his mom, Airbnb wouldn't exist today. Or at least according to her:

"I told him it's a bad idea. I didn't think it was going to work, and I didn't really understand it. If he listened to me, Airbnb wouldn't be here now.""

I mean, in the end, isn't it turning out to be a bad idea? Removing homes from the rental market, increasing housing prices. Encouraging more treatment of housing as an investment.

Sometimes, Brian, your mom is right.
I can imagine no use case where ripping out features from upstream reduces risk vs adding it. I agree it makes no sense to stagnate, but I am familiar with the certified compiler space, and what I have described is exactly what I have witnessed. Compilers that are based on ancient versions of open source compilers, and have code incorporated from various point releases since then to minimize the amount of recertification necessary.
> Not sure where GP got his idea

As explained GP used a customized Linux desktop for years. Switching from that to Mac OS' limited window management features can definitely motivate someone to google possible solutions as one of the first steps. I know because it was the same for me as well. I don't need an insane set of keyboard shortcuts but I think matching e.g. Gnome's default experience isn't too much to ask for.

It's the same with Doctors. Most of the time they say "take two Tylenol and call me in the morning". Or maybe they're stitching someone up in the ER and they're doing just as good of a job as a nurse. But once and a while they save lives with their decision making.

Seems like the best option may be to add the disabled attribute to the button, as well as provide an aria-live section with a message stating that the form is in the process of submittal. Of course then you'll have to handle removing the disabled attribute, as well as providing a message either stating the submittal was successful, or that an error occurred.

I get that HTML wasn't supposed to be an application platform, but it's what we've got for now, and all we can do is work with what we have and keep pushing forwards for better standards or a better application delivery method (which is tough, since deployment as HTML is just so easy as compared to updating a rich client application).
$200M, even narrowed to "science education", will turn into couple bullshit grants, and/or a deal with a commercial vendor to upgrade computers at some facility, and/or (most likely) a new sports stadium, because US universities for some reason love to spend ridiculous amounts of money on sports facilities.

Point being, education is a very large field, with a very large capability to burn money in operational expenses, spending it all on doing a little bit more of the same thing it's already doing.

SETI, in contrast, is a small, underfunded corner of STEM R&D, at the bleeding edge of astrophysics, signals processing and a bunch of other fields. Pouring $200M there has a much greater chance of pushing some actual research or technology development, with gains flowing back to society and economy (including to science education). SETI has much less space for grifters, and it's much easier to spot money going the wrong way.

Or, in short, a cup filled with water will make more visible impact when poured into a portable bottle, than when poured into a lake.
The national grid works because it is regulated. If you allow states to hookup their garbage unregulated systems to it, there would no longer be a regulated grid and the entire system would be made vulnerable.

It was the refusal to follow the same rules everybody else plays by that caused the problem for Texans, not the fact that rest of the country has standards and insists that they're followed.

The regulated grid works. The "we don't need rules" grid failed, and it will continue to fail Texans until they care about themselves and families enough to demand better. They don't even have to demand connection to the national grid, Texans could just demand regulations for their own grid that are even stricter than the national grid's rules and stay separate. Texas could create a system of regulations that make their grid the most well-run grid in the country.

Ink & Switch is behind it; or more expansively mostly Orion Henry, Alex Good, Martin Kleppmann, and myself. As an organization, we have been working on Automerge for about six years now. We also have a wonderful community of other contributors both in industry and research.

Automerge is not VC-backed software. Indeed, for a number of years Automerge was primarily a research project used within the lab. Over the last year, it has matured to production software under the supervision of Alex Good. The improved stability and performance has been a great benefit to both our community and internal users. Our intention is to run the project as sponsored open source for the foreseeable future and thus far we have done so thanks to the support of our sponsors and through some development grants.

Ink & Switch's research interests drive a lot of Automerge development but funding from sponsors allows us to work on features that are not research-oriented or to accelerate work that we'd like to do but that doesn't have current research applications. If you adopt Automerge for a commercial project, I'd encourage you to join the sponsors of Automerge to ensure its long-term viability.

It's "good" if you're enumerating a potential target!

Otherwise, you typically either want to make your URLs intuitively discoverable or not discoverable at all. An incrementing ID like this is neither, so it sits in a weird middle ground that probably satisfies nobody (except those trying to get things done who don't care, I guess).

>Unless the housing supply increases this will just be a temporary thing.

The housing supply will increase dramatically in the next decade, not by building but by attrition.

More than 55% of all homes in America are owned by Silent Gens or Boomers[0]. That figure includes non-SFHs, of SFHs I've read they own >70% of (lost my source unfortunately). They are going to start dying of en masse within the next decade. That means A LOT of SFH are going to hit the market, all around the same time.

The share of millenials and genzers who are financially fit to even purchase a home are going to be far less than the amount of people who are dying.

For the non-believers, it's all written in the demographics. Unless we import a shit load of migrants who can also afford expensive real estate, or we print money so that institutions can buy these properties, the prices are going to sink like crazy.

>That doesn't mean that cars are a scam, it means that many, many people trying to sell cars to you are scammers.

But AI isn't a scam, that's their point. The more opt comparison here may be to horse buggies instead of snake oil. We probably will inevitable move more towards generative content, and everyone's trying to find their place as livelihoods are being impacted.

And of course there's the legalities of what's used to train AI. Crypto was completely decoupled and economic concepts aren't exactly copyright to begin with. So this doesn't apply much here.

Can I wait? Sure. But this is the whole problem with single source computing that suddenly we have to wait for the processor to be delivered in the form factor we would like until a single manufacturer chooses to give it to us and they could choose not to as the intel mac mini was not regularly updated or choose to spend thousands of dollars to purchase something that might be outdated in a four months.

Plus the entire reason why I have to spend so much money is because they didn't bother to put a few dollars in i/o parts to allow it to support more video outputs that their low end devices could easily drive, and they don't support third party drivers well enough that we can use displaylink.

I'm glad IQ tests are banned for employment purposes.

Can you name one mainstream philosopher, besides Plato, whose primary focus was the idea that we live in a false reality? (Not that that was even Plato's primary focus.) That's such an odd complaint. Do you think Wittgenstein, Foucault, and Sartre were all just complaining about how the universe is unknowable because we can't directly access the realm of forms?

Re replacing the element and losing focus:

Yeah that's true, I was writing this from my lunch break in a hurry and this was sloppy/wrong.

What I have actually opted for so far in SPAs and other JS form submits is to show a loading indicator inside the button tag, and ignoring the function call as long as a request is pending.

Sibling comments and the article suggest equivalent solutions.

Re sync form submit:

OK, it is still possible to trigger double submits, youre right.

I'd argue that 99% of the users notice their browser's native loading indicator though. Also I have personally experienced the "do you want to submit this POST request again?" popup for spamming form submit buttons without manually reloading the page, but I'm not sure how reliable that is or what the preconditions are.

This being possible is directly caused by browser trying to appear faster by not replacing the current page until they can start rendering the next one. Like with bfcache, vendors do their best to make full page reloads feel like an SPA if the site performance allows.

Which brings us to the only sane answer: if you need to reliably prevent double submits against malicious or clueless users, you need to act on the server.

You can't de-duplicate HTTP requests with client code.
I don’t, and would happily use that installer again. =) But unless you give feedback on how the choices are working out how can you expect them to know and have a better choice next time? (Genie, is what I heard for the future… I’ll have to check further when/if it becomes relevant)

unfortunately, many (most?) doctors have simply become prescription writing machines - "got a problem? there is a pill for that", and if that pill doesn't work, we will try something else.

Good luck finding a MD that actually wants you to be healthy and drug free - the system is setup to give you a prescription and hope that it works; doctors around me won't even broach the subject of suggesting you lose some weight or get more exercise or even just eat more healthy food - they just write a prescription to deal with the adverse affects of your poor lifestyle.

There is a further subdivision within the class of things over which you have no control (the indifferents). There are the preferred indifferents and the dispreferred ones [1].

I think the idea is not to be apathetic toward indifferents, but rather to not let yourself fall into dispair if something out of your own control doesn't go your way, at least that's how I choose to interpret it.

If the system has a higher expectation that you will buy the apples, making them the more profitable option to offer, it'll do that. So people aren't entirely wrong in that way. But the point is even when it's "helpful" (by coincidence), it will still do everything it can to screw you. And yeah it'll happily offer you oranges if it thinks it can get you to bite. Or beer, particularly if it knows you're an alcoholic!
For any Rust game engine devs out there, how do you make an editor with VSCode?
Pretty specific niche, but you guys are the most knowledgeable I can think of, and I really need some help. So basically, I have a fully working game engine (built with Rust and wgpu) and am currently working on building the editor. I can insert objects and stuff, but how do I go about attaching scripts? I could somehow open them in VSCode, although I'm not sure how to run the command line via a rust script, or require that rust be downloaded. And then how would I pick out functions? I want to search for a new function and an update function, and then call that function while passing in a single parameter which is my game's main state. Thanks!

It sounds like a pretty old and common use case in technical writing and one that many organizations already optimized plenty well: you coach contributors to aim towards a normal format in their email and you maintain some simple tooling to massage common mistakes towards that normal.

What prompted you to use an LLM for this instead of something more traditional? Hype? Unfamiliarity with other techniques? Being a new company and seeing this as a more compelling place to start? Something else?
