Kramnik has always intentionally trolled. This is how he compensates his frustration when he loses.

The weird thing is, Kramnik actually cheated himself, when he became world champion. He accepted a match for the title with Kasparov, though he lost the match for the challenger against Shirov.

This accusation against Hikaru is not funny anymore. Noobs in the Lichess chat start calling Hikaru a cheater. This is not ok. Being a cheater is a stigma in the chess community.

Kramnik should apologize, or get declared as a persona non grata for a while in the chess community.
Planes have been able to take off, fly to a destination, and land, entirely autonomously, for some decades now. Many people know this. I know this.

But most of us would still refuse to board a plane that didn’t have a human pilot.
Yes, still. I’m a mod on a few other decent sized subs (30k-ish) actually and most of them are still growing, unless the topic at hand is clearly outdated.

Show HN: Let The Letter Drop (Daily word game for web and mobile)
Let The Letter Drop is a mix of crosswords, Connect4, Tetris, and a little bit of Wordle's daily-ness. Select letters from your tray and drop them on a board to build words and score points. Multi-letter pieces can be rotated. Use special pieces like bombs and bumpers to move the letters on your board around.

Every day, everyone gets a fixed bag of letters and a set of words to make. Make all 3 and keep going for points. The daily mode is the default, but if you'd like, you can switch to the "freeplay" mode anytime.

This is my first game and it was fun getting to follow through on an idea so quickly. I used microstudio (https://microstudio.dev/) and its Lua-like language for writing it. I have mostly positive things to say about it. It definitely made it easy getting something from my head to the screen. The accessibility is lousy to non-existent, unfortunately, but I have ideas to improve it, and maybe that can turn into a microstudio extension. We'll see.
Revenue is generally greater than profit. AWS does not pull in anywhere near all the revenue that its users generate; its cash flow is a tiny proportion of what its customers generate.
At Cop26 in Glasgow, in 2021.

There, at that conference, China pledged CO2 emissions would peak by 2030. Xi said that China would “strictly control coal-fired power generation projects”.

Since then the country's been plagued by power shortages and has been building coal fired stations as a stop gap.

Coal and China is complicated - in the past two decades China has closed down a very large number of quite old and quite polluting coal stations that had high emmissions.

In that time they've built a few nuclear stations, a lot of solar and hydro, and a number of larger more efficient coal stations that run cleaner.

So, they're still building coal, they've improved the situation wrt pollution from coal, they're committed to ending coal, that's not going to be easy.

China’s coal addiction puts spotlight on its climate ambitions before Cop28

>But now they're in the consumer staple industry.

I don't think it's quite that simple, like almost all large manufacturers HP have different tiers of quality/prices to address different markets. Just as you say they have price sensitive models but they also have "price is not the main thing" models.

That's not to say that any of HP's laptops are a good buy in the first place but it true for every manufacturer that there are a range of qualities and prices.

The exception to this is Apple because they have distinctive approach to marketing which, in the laptop field, is unique (or if it's not unique I can't think of any other 'single tier' manufacturers).
Funny how often HN comments are like “this would be better if it used AI!”

FL Studio is its own thing. If you're used to the workflow there, every other DAW will feel very (very) different.

That said, Bitwig is probably the least orthodox of the others, and so although it is really nothing like FL Studio, that might be a place to start.

I don't think there is a fundamental problem with reddit's userbase for smaller communities. But I think that we should avoid centralized platforms at all costs. Sooner or later, you will realize that "your" sub is not really yours and that you just gave a lot of your time and work for someone to exploit the data mine.

Put aside peer pressure for a moment, couldn't you create your community on Lemmy to make sure that you are always in control of your social media presence?
I used Component Pascal under Black Box Component Builder for developing scientific image processing and adaptive optics. The math libraries by Robert Campbell are available from Component Pascal Collection. The name of Robert's package collection is unassuming word Chill. It is the most amazing set of math, algebra, graphics, and utilities. All written in Component Pascal which can be backported to Oberon-2. You can download BlackBox from the same page.

At least in the software industry, agreed. Not only is it reasonable to expect a TW at an dev-heavy org to familiarize themselves with devs' tools, but it's also damn near impossible to find a good tool for software docs unless you're running your own static site generator.

Every premium CMS tool on the market has some kind of dealbreaking fatal flaw... among them their average price, because good luck getting any budget for documentation :P
People who could only write Assembly in the 60s found themselves pretty quickly out of a job if they didn’t learn “autocoding”. Which was just a fancy name for using a high-level programming language like COBOL or FORTRAN that produced Assembly.

The situation is largely the same now. Learn to use the AI tools efficiently and you’ll enjoy even greater job security in the future than you do now.
I can definitely get on board with that idea. It is indeed cumbersome dealing with some JSON api that you may or may not have written. The amount of boilerplate you must write in react just to fetch the freaking thing and do some work an display a result is rough compared to the same thing in django-htmx.

But we are talking mostly about developer-experience here and while that is great, it is a compromise compared to user experience. Getting a little delay for an ajax call on much many more interactions is a thing and its there. Maybe that makes sense for many but it should be noted just like deciding to write a react PWA instead of a fully native ios app is a tradeoff for developer experience (or a dozen other reasons) instead of user experience.
Honest mistake, pretty sure you mean jackdaw stuff.
> At the GM level, just having the evaluation visible somewhere is more than sufficient to gain 100 points of ELO.

I suspect it could be even more, but I wonder if anyone has tested this at different levels?
It would be cool to have a graph that shows eval-bar at 1600 ELO equals 70 points, eval-bar at 2800 ELO equals 200 points, etc.

It’s sadly missing what, for me, makes Civ V the best Civ: Vox Populi [0] fka. Community Patch fka. Communitas, a very extensive mod that under different leadership has been in development for almost as long as Civ V exists. It overhauls the whole game, fixes bugs, balances things, improves the AI (usual recommendation is to play 2 difficulties lower than vanilla to start) and adds features.

Recently they started doing community councils, introducing a process for proposals and getting them voted on.

Personally, as I don’t care that much about balance, I also play with the 3rd and 4th unique component [1] mod, which is mostly a one-man project and not as balanced, but makes civs even more distinct.

Oh, and of course, VP is open source [2].

edit: In case someone decides to play with it, the current version 4.x has had some extensive clean up and might have some new bugs. Also, many addon mods have not been updated for it, so you might want to use 3.x for now.

I don’t go on Reddit that much anymore and I haven’t been active as a mod on that sub for a very long time. But based on my experience doing it, users are quite good at identifying stupid bullshit and reporting it to mods, which makes it easy to spot. Plus they downvote low quality comments like crazy so it gets buried and people don’t even see it.

Because of those things Prank spammers usually don’t last long. Usually a small gang of people will try something like that and you can quickly ban them. They might try to come back on new accounts but eventually tire of it and find another way to keep themselves busy. The mod queue feature is quite efficient so we can ban reported junk much faster than they can post.

I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but it would be more difficult than you might think. If you try to automated completely it would cost you an awful lot in fees (Open AI’s server bills are “eye-watering“ and if you go past the free limit they start passing that cost onto you), and the admin’s would probably be able to identify the accounts doing it and ban them site wide.

Oh, yes, you found another place where I had to make an arbitrary placement. Air pressure tools just did not fit anywhere else, so I slapped them there in transition metals, which is unforgivable. See my longer comment for more whining about how it's not nearly as arbitrary as you make it out to be.
There is no direct and certain pathway to prosperity but the right amount of hard work, hustle, creativity, and luck still produces success stories. It has never been a given. What has worked for the previous generation will not work for the next generation. America will remain the land of opportunity even if it is not the market of opportunity because of its capitalistic government with strong protection of property rights. Parents have always tried to give their children every unfair advantage. It will be successful for many, but many will also squander their inheritance.

In regards to listening to ATC and police (where unencrypted of course).

So apparently it's not allowed to listen at all. It's just very hard to catch and someone spreading heard info is of course much easier to identify so I guess enforcement is more focused at the latter.

Yeah, when I was doing more of that sort of thing I'd generally use ISE or Vivado on a big Ubuntu server and VNC or X-forward it to my machine (the X forwarding could be a bit janky with Vivado but it was OK for getting things going in a pinch).
See the problem here is I don't view social media as a loss, at least on the level of Facebook.
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to continue the discussion this way. It's not productive.
I like to use these things so I don't have to use JS for business and server-side logic, so I don't have to replicate certain things on both ends, and so I don't have to write myself a web API just so two applications I control can talk to each other. I have no problem writing JS for more complex UI stuff which is what I originally learned JS to do, and I enjoy it (though I enjoy the outcome more than the language). I know I'm not the only one who feels this way but I'm probably a minority.in
Nope. That's why I'm not on Facebook, which presently asks for ID when it deems necessary.
Presently they don't have the staff or the willingness to vet that all users are above the age of 13.
I have stopped visiting the site myself -- taking the opportunity to try and de-addict myself and recover some mental space and time. Working very well so far. Can't say I am missing anything in life.

There were only one or two occasions since then where I clicked on a reddit link when the context/topic was very compelling. Happy to report I did not feel the urge to browse away and bury myself in other reddit links and subreddits.

On desktop I have a uMatrix/uBO rule that blocks the domain completely. So inadvertent clicks before seeing the domain also get trapped.
This thread is about DNS. Nobody asked for suggestions for a KV store.
Amazingly this is an actual product you can buy.

One the one hand, nifty! And I’m sure that serious engineering went in to building out a system that can handle the amount of fan-out that might happen.

On the other hand, the pricing is absurd. A very nice 30.72TiB NVMe SSD for datacenter use is $3400. Storing that much data on EFS will pay for itself in less than two weeks. (I read the GB-month fee in the docs several times. I don’t think it’s a typo.). If you read the data four times, you will pay as much as that SSD costs.

This is so absurdly expensive that, for many workloads, it will be much cheaper to just replicate the data into big SSDs on each server. (Of course, doing this on AWS may be a bit unpleasant.)

And EFS’s performance seems lackluster. One of those SSDs has maybe 10x the IOPS and 1/10 the latency of EFS.
When I upgraded I was sure it told me to be on the latest using this. I'll check where I read that, I don't think it was in the handbook but elsewhere on the site.
I agree it’s close to zero without the artificial structure of intellectual property laws
This is a classic "we should refactor" without understanding the original architecture/decision making.

No doubt some of the issues you describe become apparent when you actually attempt the task, yet it's easy to propose a reasonable alternative.

ok, fair enough. it needs to be tight knit and open minded. unfortunately many people still lack in the open minded aspect of it.
> you will quickly learn how many businesses refuse US currency

Can you provide examples?

We must live in very different areas, because there is not a physical store I use that would not take cash, and a lot of would prefer it over credit cards. Even my apartment building rent can be paid in cash if you really wanted. Maybe the utility companies would not take cash?

Obviously online purchases are different here, but a lot of bigger places (Apple, Amazon, etc.) have gift cards you can buy with cash locally to use online at the shop.

On the flip side, there are places I frequent that accept only cash.

Thanks for sharing various projects. Any tools for materials science that can create summary tables of things like material, application, performance would be really valuable.
I wonder what's under there, a teardown should be able to tell. Perhaps some screw heads?
I left. Came back and now left again. There isn’t a readily available alternative at the moment. However, the quality has declined so much that it has become garbage. The discussion seems to be driven by bots, mercenaries and AI.

I also think many reddit users moved to HN which resulted in some quality going down as they bring the old reddit culture with them, but I’m betting that won’t last.

I think it’s still early to tell. Reddit still has lots of traction and even if it’s becoming less attractive, the alternative is not quite there yet.
That is my point, more or less. What you're describing is just about the best case scenario.

Facebook was not abiding Myanmar's laws during the genocide. The flagrant disregard for the harm they were causing, while being told they were causing it by the government plus multiple NGOs was one of the bigger parts of the series. The government stopped the earlier violence by blocking Facebook during riots.

New technologies that organize information and people are a boon to radical groups. Putting some sort of layer of lawfulness over that is a benefit, even if imperfect.

And the whole thing OpenAI was trying to do was go a step further and make it beneficial to all humanity, which implies the goal is to make the AI less harmful to people even if the law permits the harm.
Not a complaint, more an FYI. I see a large number of games were added in 2020. I tried 3 randomly and all were either "incompatible with my device" or "made for an older Android version". Should I report them, or is it best to leave them for people with older versions of Android?

When I think back to early days of the web, I recall the joy and excitement of discovering websites from parts of the world I'd never been and likely never will!

The web doesn't need to be social media network scale. It can be about slow personal discovery.

Sites used to be built for expression and utility, not SEO and the glorification of Likes.

SEO and Google ruined blogging. Facebook ruined social media.

I mean, what's the purpose of "avoid[ing] it melting quickly once it reaches warm water"—it's a no-op.
Yes. True.

I think if you use someone's photo for Facebook, they're likely to already be on the site.

You could also have the AI look at the photos that are uploaded over time and if they look very different from the person who supposedly created the account...and comments from others are not questioning why these are a different person.

Right now they don't have people vetting. Throw AI at it for non-perfect but better results. As long as it's not a gov site I'm okay with this. Got off Facebook in 2005 when the first of my relatives became racists.

I think that's skipping some context though. Don't know about the previous poster, but I'm using pipewire for things that MacOS just can't do, at latencies which MacOS can't pull off, with codecs that MacOS can't support. So although I spent an hour or so on the setup / resolving issues, that's still 100% better.

Yeah, the basic things just work on MacOS. But try to do fancy audio routing, low latency processing and other things and you're left with spending hundreds of dollars on apps that give you half a hacky solution.

I do actually have a small museum in my studio... but it's rather small and informal. You can see some of it in this interview: https://kk.org/cooltools/theodore-gray-co-founder-of-wolfram...
Cheating, except when done by an extremely strong player to begin with, tends to be utterly trivial to detect. For one reason among many more, a normal cheater will not really understand how difficult or easy some moves are and will tend to play a super-human move, requiring an exceptional depth of calculation, at the same pace which he plays a trivial recapture.

Cheating in chess is maybe something closer to steroids in athletics. If you take an average Joe and gear him up with all the steroids in the world, he's not suddenly going to just hulk out and become a world class athlete, contrary to what many think. But if you take a world class athlete and gear him up, he is going to be able to use that gain a substantial and unfair advantage over his clean peers.
I had thought it used to be all over the manpages for the openssl command, but I can't seem to locate it now. It's my understanding that the openssl command line tool wasn't(and isn't) designed for serious production cryptographic use. It was developed as a way to test the functionality of the library, not as a robust way to encrypt files/data on the command line.

No, maliciousness like having a window move itself high enough that the close button is off screen or malicousness like the window dancing around, potentially causing other windows to also be noted around as the window manager responds. Yes, these can be somewhat mitigated by the window manager but the fact that every window manager will need to think carefully about the security of this hints that the design of the protocol is exposing a bad abstraction or interface.
Social media was ruined a long time ago. Even here it's a disparate, incomplete conversation. I commented knowing the response I'd get from HN about false positives with AI determining user age.
