I'm a game-dev outsider, but I've come to romanticise the idea of creating a tower defense game myself. Ever since Warcraft III it's been one of my favourite genres, but everything I've played in the intervening years seems to fall short of something that leaves me wanting more.
Wow I feel like something may be wrong with me.

This isn’t the first comment I’ve read about the noise, but I’ve had an 8i5beh for almost 5 years (just replaced a dead fan last week!) and a 13anhi5. I never notice them, they’re essentially fanless to me.

Currently sits at 40db in my bedroom with the fan at 100% 24/7.

Is it a high pitched whine? Or is it like… unfavorable harmonics? I have an old brocade switched that had a very discordant sound, I did end up replacing those fans.
Great memories of this book, and of the period of my life I picked it up in. I was at coffee with my girlfriend saying I'd read you could make all the logic gates using only NANDs, so we got curious and wrote NAND on a bunch of napkins to see if we could figure them all out.

We did and it was great fun. For each gate we figured it with NANDs we would write the name of the new gate on a napkin.

We took the napkins and the joy of it home and sheet a few days we started combining those gates up as well, trying to eventually figure out an entire ALU. And so along came multiplexors and a bunch of other fascinating stuff.

Eventually we got stumped, but I'd heard about this book and we decided to order it. The rest of the chapters really did help us get an understanding of the low level that had always been mysterious to me as someone with software experience only.

Can't say I ever did make it all the way through in terms of building around, though. Once it got more into the low software levels I felt I already had enough of an understanding that the work didn't seem so appealing, but the read was still fantastic.
Another comment picked what I think is the best option: the sender generates it, and receiver verifies it, but only on click. That way the receiver's already going to leak their IP, so WhatsApp can verify before opening up the web page.
After 20 years of being taken for granted that search engines as we know them are equipped to solve the typical problems we throw at them, I wonder if the whole concept of an unsupervised web crawl as the input to a single purpose search engine will just die out.

When I think about my typical web queries across the past year or two, it seems more and more likely that I'd be better off replacing Google with several purpose-built systems, none of which search the "entire web" (whatever that even means anymore). Technical queries? Just search StackOverflow and Github directly. Searching for a local venue of any kind? Search against a dedicated places database where new entries have to pass at least a cursory scrutiny. (Arguably Google Maps or Yelp already serve this purpose today, but I'm not sure if they have enough vetting today). Medical question? Search across a few sites known to be trustworthy.

We have become accustomed to go to Google because it's more convenient to type in a movie title, "chinese restaurant philadelphia", "flights to miami 4/12/24" or "Error code 127 python" into the same single place, but something tells me we'd be better off if that one place made some LLM-assisted guesses of what kind of search it is, and then went to a specialized search that is curated. If we go back toward the DMOZ/Yahoo model of directories that humans curate, I wonder if we could even reverse the trend toward spam and clickbait that has been so lamented in recent years.
well, normally, one could upgrade windows but w they're artificially gatekeeping hardware upgrades so, it's not exactly hyperbole. also, business doesn't Play around.
Good precedent, more please.
He didn't say he had to, he just said he did it

It would be very healthy anyhow if setting up a server (or any kind of self-hosted service) were less fraught upon, it really is much simpler than many people imagine
Too late, IMO. The invite-only system meant that the "leave Twitter" crowd split between Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon. IMO none of them have ended up being great replacements.
Although, maybe that's ok. My car has 0 cylinders and doesn't require oil changes.
If you think this is bad, read up on the Prairie State coal plant! Peabody Energy trapped about 200 cities across 8 states into long-term deals to buy overpriced, dirty electricity. The cities took out bonds that last into the 2030s and 2040s to finance construction of the plant.

Just one example article:
https://insideclimatenews.org/news/04062021/illinois-clean-e...
Well, they all show Google ads.
What's sad is that I didn't even notice.
This is a reasonable explanation. I speculated that the hacker got the WiFi password from the FireTV stick to connect his phone to the Internet.
I just read through the circa 2010 retrospective on how the Drive team tried to come up with their brand. 99% of the concepts were very based on the traditional physical idioms of files, mechanical hard disks, etc. iCloud was released midway through the project and so then they started making “cloud file” and “cloud disk” concepts. It was nearly an accident they ended up with an abstract shape like Chrome. But ultimately Google Drive icon has stood the test of time while files and disks have faded in to history.
This is really, really good. Just earned a permanent spot on my dock in short order.

One request (which I would happily pay for): make it so that you can run the code blocks and generate an output. I routinely crack open the browser console to test out some JS and it would be great to be able to do this right alongside my other notes.
Or this:

If anyone from Twitter I know is reading this and wants an invite code ask me via Mastodon DM or email.
Verifies what? That the preview matches? What if it changed between the send and the click legitimately? Also what is the threat model here? If the sender controls the URL they can generate any preview that they want.
They've been far too slow to respond to Twitter/X's missteps to be able to take advantage. Threads won that race by a wide margin, even if it is still relatively lacking in features.
This is subtly incorrect.

An American option should be priced assuming that the option is optimally exercised, otherwise this would create a soft arbitrage opportunity. The difficulty is determining when the option is optimally exercised because it depends on several potentially unknown and difficult to model factors.
Do you think there exists only one class of people with money and that they all have a unified narrative to feed us with?
> home invasion crimes

If it happens when nobody is home thus nobody is hurt, they will most like dust for prints and you will have to clean their mess as well.

They got more important things than "they stole my laptop and €500 cash". If the thieves steal amounts/treasures that are terror-funding-amounts, and/or they physically hurt someone, then they will most likely find them (someone will snitch on them as police applies pressure to they-know-who-most-likely-did-it).

I remember 20(?) years ago in the UK someone broke into an old man's home, beat him severely, and stole his (olympic game) medal(s). The thieve(s) were then severely beaten up by fellow criminals and handed to the police. I cannot remember details, and asked ChatGTP but couldn't find more information (but I swear it was a case like that).

I also know enough police officers that will tell you to your face that for petty crime without physical harm they will never go after the perps. Unless they catch them for something bigger, and by running their prints they discover/can pin on them more stuff.
Congrats on taking this concept far beyond 'proof of concept'; well done.

Done many years ago now, there is a preemptive multitasking OS for the Z80 for the "kiss TNC" used in ham radio: https://github.com/cheponis/KISS-TNC2/blob/master/KISS-TNC.a... This only used the interrupts to permit the modem (receive) side to generate interrupts, but the concepts are the same as if the interrupt would have come from a timer source. Yes, it uses the EXX and EX AF,AF' instructions.

The best Z80 book, which describes the little-known W and Z registers is http://www.z80.info/zip/zaks_book.pdf start on page 86 for their description.
Even the Linux games situation is changing a lot. If I can run 90% of games jut fine on Linux, I'm going to be inclined to use Linux and 90% of games on the market, rather than Windows and 100%.

I see new awesome software being released on Linux first every year. Every cool Windows software project I can even name started maybe 10 or 30 years ago. The amount of development dollars going to Android gaming has long since surpassed the dollars going to Windows gaming, and the revenue is already in Android's favour, but there are still more quality games on Windows. That will flip one day and when it does things like Proton will make more and more sense.

For me, Linux feels like the future as flawed as it is, while Windows feels like the past. The only way Microsoft could possibly save Windows at this point would be to open source it and rescind their monopoly to it and adopt the Red Hat business model, and that might not be enough, and I don't see it happening.
Judging by the traffic traces (number of comments on popular posts), I’d have to agree.
It's less about the hardware itself and more about recovering/accounting for the data on it.

If we can attest that no IP left with them and the device is out of its service life, sometimes we'll let them keep it out of pity. Ironically the most frequent justification is recognizance that they don't own a computer and can't easily look for another job.
It's good purely from being lay-friendly, but I really wish they didn't labour their specific description so much because while it's an intuitive explanation it's also still actually wrong.

Also if you're going to write an article that long about P and NP then as the other commenter mentioned, it would be nice to mention the words polynomial and non-deterministic.
It was my gateway to a lifelong love of history and cultures.
> What details do you think they needed to know

Those that are materially relevant to the discovery of comprehensive truth.

> lol?

What is the intended message of this? Do you believe this is a laughing matter?

> Pence was going to take all of the official actions.

You have no way of knowing with guaranteed correctness what Pence was going to do. If you disagree, please explain a methodology of how you could.

> The rioters just had to storm the capitol and delay the response long enough for team Trump to consolidate power, and maybe serve as a prop if Pence was asked to rationalize his decision.

Leaving aside a variety of things, such as:

a) The US Military's opinion on the matter.

b) The truth of the matter.

> Trump's speech to rile up the mob and send them to the capitol building at the correct time was quite sufficient.

Sufficient to accomplish what it did, which is unknowable. Due to the unknowability of reality, our culture has adopted a convention: telling stories, and believing them to be true with little to no concern whether they actually are. This cultural norm is driven into our heads constantly, bypassing all filters, because it is a cultural norm.

> That's how stay-in-power coups work. That's how they've always worked. The mobs never needed telepathic training before, why would they now?

Well, you could explain how the gameplan ended up within the mind of each participant. Or, you could explain why you refuse to do that. Or, you could tell us some more popular, fun to believe memes, and continue to act as if I have not asked you point blank about the truth value of them.

Humans fear epistemology, and I can see it clear as day through your evasive cultural conventions, "lol".
Does anyone actually use threads? Everyone seemed to go check it out, but I don't know anyone actively using it.
Parent comment has big “alpha grindset” energy. Like they hadn’t considered the concept of “toys”.
Google has become unusable in many circumstances, and it rewards spam. It claims it doesn't, but it does, a lot of SEO strategies now revolve around spamming the search engine with articles, pages, etc. Not for useful content, but for linkbacks, internal linking, etc. It is especially bad for geo-specific SEO strategies, where you're trying to have different page sets for different regions. Basically, how it was when Google first started and was easily gamed. Now people are spinning up 100s of pages and articles using AI and just spamming it. It has gotten bad, but the worst part is that you have to do it now in order to compete for keywords.
The consequence of this decision is that people will be released if their convictions are for these certain crimes. That consequence is absolutely intended.
Yeah, I wouldn't call this clickjacking, because real clickjacking is a technique the makes a victim perform some account action without knowing it. Simply opening an unintended link isn't as bad as that.
Cool idea, appreciate you leaving it open to play around with :)
Not to mention makes it impossible to get a job at a company which has government contracts, because they require drug tests.
Grab an S3 bucket on amazon.

Do a 3 way sync with the s3 command line tool.

That way, you have a neat cloud backup as well. Wouldn't take any more than 20 minutes total to set up.
Lol I don't necessarily agree or disagree with this but this line is blatantly ableist and I doubt very much true at all:

> NSA hackers are given specific tasks to achieve, they must play by the rules, and the paperwork involved is more arduous than the actual hacking. Such autistic kids would not do well in that environment.
Yes, this is precisely what I think many people do. Because they are frequently punished for trying it by being made to look foolish. We all roll our eyes when someone in front of us can't seem to master the trivial task of completing a purchase, and in that moment, we are dismayed to realize WE are that person right now!
On the webGL/GPU side, my cynical speculation is that the Apple has slowly been amassing a nest of graphics talent for the last 5 years (Metal, Vision Pro, ARKit, list goes on), and at this point they can't resist the pressure from employees to not support some of this stuff which should be table stakes and is obviously good for the user experience.

On the PWA side, best guess is anti-competition scrutiny.
If you don't want to contact Comcast to enable your porn, fine.

May I have the option to call Comcast and disable it? And I mean actually disable it; ever porn providing site has to identify itself under criminal penalty.

Because disabling it on your computer as is currently "possible" is not a compromise, its capitulation.
So an autistic person is a sociopath now? Or am I just misunderstanding this "hot take".

Buncha oul lads shitting on a teenager is what it sounds like. Like no one here did illegal shit when they were younger.

Oh, and wait, of course the hacking stuff is overblown, but the property damage and assault he did while locked in prison is of course not overblow. Not perhaps, someone lashing out due to being stuck in a prison maybe? Someone who may have sensory problems, or autism. Getting forced to eat a type of food, or wear a type of cloths?
Gemini Pro, with arguably comparable quality to GPT4, competes with GPT4 with its superior pricing and speed.

If you actually use Gemini Pro, you will find that it gives nearly instantaneous full responses, which makes me use it more than even GPT4 Turbo for a lot of quick questions. And certainly more than Bing AI with GPT4, which is so slow and awkward to use and which I gave up on.

It's something that doesn't get discussed: speed and pricing, with near top quality. That's maybe how Google is planning to win for now.
But the sound quality on the laptop is just not quite up-to scratch. I think the output buffer on the amplifier is just not very good and struggles with the dynamic load of the transducers.

In case anyone else runs into something similar: make sure you've plugged in the headphones to a speaker/HP jack instead of "line out", or configured the output as such, since the latter is unamplified and can make the audio sound "thin" and lacking.

(On the other hand, I've had to do the opposite with some very sensitive IEMs where otherwise even the lowest volume setting would be almost painfully loud.)
grub2-filemanager was discontinued.
This was surprisingly fast, 276.27 T/s (although Llama 2 70B is noticeably worse than GPT-4 turbo). I'm actually curious if there's good benchmarks for inference tokens per second- I imagine it's a bit different for throughput vs. single inference optimization, but curious if there's an analysis somewhere on this

edit: I re-ran the same prompt on perplexity llama-2-70b and getting 59 tokens per sec there
I’m not definitely not saying any browser is perfect - I’ve filed many bugs against all of the major browsers - but I think Chrome took over from IE in the category of browsers which a certain type of developer uses as the only browser and decides that if it works for them it’s ready to ship. I’m not sure I’ve ever had someone rant in the inverse case saying that if code works in, say, Safari but not Chrome it must mean that Chrome is a terrible browser and shouldn’t be used. That default mentality is toxic for the web but not uncommon.
Can anyone elaborate on the binary pattern matching change? Listed as this in the blog post, but I don't see it in the release notes:
```improved binary pattern matching by allowing prefix binary matches, such as <<^prefix::binary, rest::binary>>```
> a man who starts an article about becoming a father with a clear sex-is-for-procreation Bible quote makes it sound like his experience of life is not relevant to mine

It's not like he believes any of it. He just quotes the bible because that makes for a funnier article.
Wow!

Im amazed at how fast and pretty Bluesky is compared to other web applications, especially Twitter's.
Meh, I wish I'd had taken the physics path. But life happened. Too late to change now. Maybe I can at least make a lot of money by making something useful.
>I don't like the distraction of seeing all the blocks below my cursor move every time I make a new line.

Uhm... They don't move. They stay the same distance, relative to your line. As you add more lines, they'll disappear below the fold.
> This is difficult if you don't have a network or experience in specific industries so tech people just wait around for a business person to tell them what to build instead

This is really not as difficult as it seems. After having done this a couple of times, I recently wrote a blog post to document my process - https://open.substack.com/pub/toluakinola/p/how-to-do-idea-d...
The road ahead reaches a turning point in 2024
Do you move the connector while it’s plugged in e.g. if you have the phone in your pocket plugged in and then connected to wired headphones? The lightning connector works fine when you don’t move it, but not when you do.
Ask HN: Can humans learn like LLMs do?
I've tried to read the AI and GPT papers, but they are way, way over my head.

I was wondering... is it possible for a person to utilize the same statistical techniques to learn the way an LLM does?

Like if someone threw a copy of the Wikipedia at me (ouch), could I try to use the same algorithms and models in my head to create a similar output, just much more slowly?

Sorry if this a dumb question! I don't really know how these systems work, either the GPTs or the human brain. Lately I've begun to doubt my own humanity, wondering if I'm also just a poor chatbot with a little more prior training. Is that possible, or are we really that different?
I've seen many products loose steam due to invite only. It's a failure to recognize heavy public interest and strike while the iron is hot.
ChatGPT Is Person of the Year (For the Non-Zero Newsletter)
Plus developers who want the steam version or just want to support the makers.

Aseprite (pixel art editor) has this sort of “if you can build it you can have it” arrangement.

I wonder what percentage of would-be-paying users are getting it for free. I guess it’s probably significant but still nothing close to a majority.
I mean those should actually be prohibited.

interesting, what are the most common usecases so far?
Similar to how 1903 wasn't groundbreaking because Orville and Wilbur Wright merely upped their income potential from bicycle mechanics by building on work done on gasoline engines and lightweight construction techniques perfected in previous years
> In addition, point 4 in the article does not make much sense. Why would a Russian victory 'encourage' mainland China to invade Taiwan, for instance? It wouldn't change anything there.

Point 4 makes sense to me — though I’m certainly no expert in international affairs. What it says to me is something about the world as a whole rather than something particularly about China and Taiwan. It says that the powers that be who are interested in maintaining the status quo in the world are either unwilling or unable to enforce continuing adherence to it.

That could certainly embolden countries that are unhappy with the status quo but have until now been unwilling to challenge it.
Two studies that explore metabolic pathways in different ways. That doesn't mean they "failed to replicate". This happens all the time in science, especially EBV research. For example they failed to find EBV reactivation in long covid in one study, but then also found that it is a smoking gun in others. Aside that, what is your gripe with the Penn study?
