Really nice and fast (which is the reason I’m still using Sublime instead of VS Code). I’ve only found one piece of functionality that’s dramatically slow compared to Sublime so far: selecting all of the current highlight. In my current file I have 2,396 occurrences of `<span>`. Selecting all of them in Sublime (with ctrl + cmd + g) is certainly less than 200ms. Doing the same in Zed (with cmd + shift + l) beachballs my machine for around 5 secs.

For most code work that’s probably not a situation to optimise for, but I often work on large markup documents.

Interesting, I helped someone with this recently. I did it with a github action and an open-source link checker, something like this:

run: |
yarn export:start &
sleep 5
wget https://github.com/filiph/linkcheck/releases/download/3.0.0/linkcheck-3.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz && tar xvf linkcheck-3.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
linkcheck/linkcheck -d -e --skip-file .skip :3111 || export RETURN=$?
killall node
if [[ "$RETURN" -eq "0" ]]; then
exit;
else
exit "$RETURN"

That's a very irresponsible and dangerous comparison to make.
Odd that they don't say which component is the bottleneck. If those are the steel case castings I don't see how industries that are not traditionally arms making can't step in.
How is what non-western countries do relevant to the question of if western governments actually practice the values they claim to hold?
Yeah it's crazy. The John Oliver segment was eye opening about the myriad of issues. At 3 miles long with 1 engineer, they sometimes have to walk miles to the end and then of course back in order to fix something. They frequently block roads and emergency responders for hours sometimes and people die. The trains are essentially ticking time bombs as they commonly carry flammable/toxic/explosive materials with no tracking and they go through towns where the tracks weren't designed for trains of that length. The end of the John Oliver skit has them do their own very dark episode of Thomas the Train that satirizes these issues.

Edit: I think there may be 2 staff, but they're trying to change it to 1 and you basically aren't allowed to ever call in sick or else you're fired.
Much of that is latency added by the design of modern compositors (see "the compositor is evil").

The good-ish news is that as the frame rate goes up, compositor latency goes down, as it's usually an integer multiple of frame refresh time.

I'm also interested in influencing the design of next gen systems to reduce compositor latency, but I'm apparently pretty much alone in that interest.
I said "Occasionally". If things aren't overly complicated, so you understand a lot about how things are working, you usually have a good idea when the debugging you need to do can be isolated from a huge mega-enterprise CI/deployment infrastructure, so you can do it much more rapidly and with low-level tools when that's helpful.

The "works the same on your laptop" argument is important for some purposes (and that's one of the reasons I run Debian Stable on everything normally), but I think it gets misunderstood by many people who would have no idea how to run even a simple one-off application without big infrastructure.

I don't recall CGI being sensitive to web server, version, or configuration, in practice. CGI should interface the same today as 30 years ago.
If you look in the download link they give [1], the zip file contains multiple different 8kB exe files, for different resolutions. So it seems the target is executable size.

We clearly haven't been to the same castles. Also, you could always curl up in a bed or sleep in a sitting position (which or may not have been common in Western Europe a few years ago). If you go visit museums that have full suits of armour that were actually worn by knights and kings, you'll be surprised. You clearly had plenty of tall people. Average size was certainly much lower than today, but spread was higher and you had plenty of tall, well-fed nobles. Charlemagne was apparently 1.84 m, Francis I of France was almost 2 m tall, Sancho VII of Navarre was even taller than that.
How is it completely faked? The video didn't give me the impression that the results were calculated instantly, or that no prompts were required.
Sorry but the railroads don't get to hide behind the "we need the cops to fix this" crap. In the US many railroads have their own police force with full arrest and police powers[0]. They can literally throw their own money and bodies at this problem if they really wanted to fix it.

> You're expending energy to stop other people from making the system better. There's something deeply wrong with such people.

One explanation is emotional attachment to a system/technology/solution/process they helped put in place. If someone wants to improve it by heavily modifying or God forbid getting rid of it, they will fight back because they feel personally attacked for it.
It is wrong, but it happens a lot.

But products liability is for products? If you aren't selling anything how would you be liable? If you and I have no business relationship, what is the basis of liability?

I don't see a liability regime touching internal use, personal use, or non-commercial (read: FOSS) development. However, when you decide to sell a service or a good, that's when liability attaches.

For PC intros the rules are generally that your 8kB (or whatever size) executable has to run alone, with no other files, on a bone stock install of Windows with no internet access. That means that yes, the graphics and sound are all generated on the fly by the 8kB exe.

Sorry, stated was implied. These are different means to the same stated goals.

The Houthis are not the only one blocking Maritime trade, there are also activist groups in e.g. Oakland and Tacoma which have blocked freight traffic from respective ports with the aim of disrupting shipment to Israel and the stated goal of stopping the genocide.

What the Houthis and these activist groups in America do after they’ve succeeded in stopping the genocide, that is another question which we can tackle at the time. As of now there is an emergency situation in Gaza, and we must treat it as such. Stopping the genocide is at utmost importance.

Commercial aviation is about 10X safer than driving per mile. That is a valid comparison if you need to cover a distance and have a choice of driving or flying. You should also add an amount of risk for driving to the airport. Flying is clearly safer than driving for long distances.

It is less clear if the choice is driving to a beach two hours away or flying to a different beach two hours away by air.

1. Why should individuals and companies be responsible for their own law enforcement? That's literally the point of government.

2. They still rely on the court system and prosecutors. The railway companies aren't allowed to execute looters on sight.
Apple specifically has deals with Amazon such that Amazon is the only allowed seller and there is no third party inventory to commingle. Most brands do not do this, apple is an exception and has the clout to demand such an exception.

The result is an 8kB Windows executable file. It is self-contained: there's only one .exe file, that generates everything (without resource files). You can download it and execute it (it requires a relatively recent GPU).

I'll see how I can edit the text to make this more obvious.
What is the URL are you testing with? If you want also share the /demo URL and I'll check what is going on.

Seems like lychee also extracts links from text, Bernard does not. Only links inside HTML tags are considered, text nodes are ignored.
I'm not following. If tech ChatGPT4 becomes available literally for free, or at least such that it can be re-run thousands of times for each task with some basic glue code and/or human intervention in between, then I see it replacing a huge chunk of knowledge work. There have already been quite a few impressive examples of running a whole team of LLM agents with different system prompts, communicating with each other and the external world, but price is still a limitation.

And as for self-driving, it is absolutely already replacing quite a few drivers, even if you just consider Waymo. I for one would ditch my car tomorrow if their service was available in my city for a reasonable price.
Sure, but I think the issue is that even when they are empowered as law enforcement, there's not much they can do if the DA isn't going to prosecute these cases.

My understanding is that they can pursue drug crime or break up organized fencing operations. But at the low level most of these train robberies are happening they probably don't waste their time.
Makes sense - I agree with you. My mistake on assuming you were referring to metrics like the ones I listed.

Why are we writing software that needs so much configuration? Not all of it is needed. We could do things more like consumer software, which assumes nobody will even consider your app if they have to edit a config file.

Yeah, its basically wrong.
Has anyone been able to download it?

The download keeps failing, and the file is already 165kb (zipped) partially downloaded.

So is this truly 8kb?
Definitely.

This reminds me of patio11’s assertion that the optimal amount of fraud in a system is not 0 because the marginal price of reducing fraud to 0 is far higher than the amount lost to the hardest to eliminate fraud.

The key is to make sure that the costs of eliminating theft are internalized. So as long as the train company reimburses everyone fully then I would imagine they will quickly figure out what the correct level of security is.
Ask HN: Help me find back a HN post on the importance of traditions and rituals?
I read this on HN, probably a year or so ago, and cannot find it back. It was a nice write-up that, essentially, talked about why traditions and social conventions/rituals (e.g. marriage/weddings, going to church, etc.) are actually important despite being typically scorned by the kind of crowd found on HN.

I would love to read it again.

Are we training AI on this fake papers also? How do the AI companies would remove a fake claim after it is included as true on AI models when popularity depends on how much boring is a theme?

Until the last years, I never had seen so many papers that claim flamboyant new scientific discoveries that are counterintuitive, against the logic, or directly don't make any sense.

It is certainly interesting, and I would love to try it for my hobbyist use-cases. I don’t do much research at work, but a fair bit on the weekends.

Companies are not people. The multi-billion companies should be held responsible for the problems caused by their decisions.
As somebody else suggested just a share link would be a good way to allow sharing. Alternatively, for either a share link or as just a way to keep the state in the URL, I'd recommend B64 encoding the data as opposed to just directly escaping it. URLs have a maximum length (forgot off the top of my head, may be 1024 or something), so storing large stringified objects usually results in issues as opposed to just encoding it. It also makes for a more logical URL structure of fundingsimulator.com/{b64}. This is if you wanted to keep the URL as the single source of truth on the state, otherwise you could keep state internally which can be initialized by optional URL state (structured as stated before), and then just encode it and put it in a URL which is copied to clipboard when a share button is clicked.
> An engineer CEO is going to value different things than a non-engineer CEO.

And why exactly ?
Sure, but we're not really talking about federal agents for the most part. We're talking about local police forces in states sending subpoenas to Ring.
But stock version of Windows has a ton of stuff you can use. All sorts of graphics and audio files. And that again depends on which version you're basing it on.

I think it would be cool to run a competition with more specific (and platform independent) set of constraints. I guess I should spend more time thinking about how to organise it myself than complaining that no-one else has!
CAS-based backup tools leak metadata like a sieve, so they're generally not the best choice for the most paranoid people, which should probably stick to uncompressed tar archives (or zips, which avoid compressing unrelated files together, which leaks data) padded to full 100 megs or so and then encrypted en bloc.
Yup. IIRC, Identify Scapegoat is step #5 in the modern engineering process methodology.
Could you show hypothetical dilution at the SAFE level too? And continue to show it on the graph edges after a priced round?

It'd also be cool to see hypothetical valuation of equity on the line/edges too.

This is an awesome tool, btw! Thank you for putting it together!
Can’t you say this about literally anything you consume?

How is this different than, “I read a scientific paper, and unlocked millions of dollars of value, and all it cost was $250 for 8 pages of text. So I guess Axel-Springer is a public good.”?

Just buying and selling something doesn’t make it a public good. Valuable sure, but selling something for a profit makes it by definition not a public good.
eventually the cost benefit of insurance will change as thefts increase. Otherwise couldn't trains have better locks?
During the closed beta, the requirements said the minimum was 10.15, and I tried to download it and run it anyway and it wouldn't run.

Did you have to build it from source?
This is glorious, thank you for sharing. I also started coding on the ZX Spectrum and can still remember the Z80 assembler opcodes.

You make a good point about both the simplicity and immediacy of the environment, which made it so easy to just start coding.
Expanding private police forces... is a good thing?
I'm still a bit miffed about the Linux kernel change that broke my unit test expecting connect(0.0.0.1) to fail fast.
surely they upgraded their OS, and the packages to patch security vulnerabilities, right?

Long uptimes aren't always great, when it comes at the expense of security.
> These are tests of the latency between a keypress and the display of a character in a terminal

Wow, the numbers are entirely unexpected. I want to see the latency when you have no display server, having booted directly to a shell.

I imagine modern competitive twitch-reflex videogames (fps, fighting) must have far less input latency - 100ms must be totally unacceptable. Suppose that's the power of a GPU.

> It's just one datapoint, but under 5% of the thefts this specific taskforce identified were perpretrated by organized groups.

5% of the people arrested, not 5% of the thefts.

“Less sophisticated thieves are more likely to be arrested” isn’t a surprising result.

You can be liable for harms caused by things you give away; you can even be liable for harm caused by things stolen from you (i.e. cars).
During the brief moment that 3DTV was popular, almost all 3DTVs had a mode that could "convert" 2D to 3D, based on movement in the scene and other pre-learned cues. "Things that look like people should be in front of things that look like scenery", and so on.

I miss 3D. I loved it, and I was sad that it didn't catch on. It enjoyed a longer life in Europe, where 3D blu-rays were produced for a few more years after they stopped selling them in the US, and I imported and enjoyed several.

Maybe Apple's VR headset will be a 3D renaissance.
Still ought to be shut down though. Given they're outsourcing so much of their maintenance and shitting their bed on their existing products, at some point too big to fail just turns into a big failure.

The problem is research into AI requires investment and investors (by and large) expect returns, and, the technology in this case actually working is currently in the midst of it's new-and-shiny-hype-stage. You can say these organizations started altruistic; frankly I think that's dubious at best given basically all that have had the opportunity to turn their "research project" into a revenue generator have done; but much like social media and cloud infrastructure, any open source or truly non-profit competitor to these entities will see limited investment by others. And that's a problem, because the silicon these all run on can only be bought with dollars, not good vibes.

It's honestly kind of frustrating to me how the tech space continues to just excuse this. Every major new technology since I've been paying attention (2004 ish?) has gone this exact same way. Someone builds some cool new thing, then dillholes with money invest in it, it becomes a product, it becomes enshittified, and people bemoan that process while looking for new shiny things. Like, I'm all for new shiny things, but what if we just stopped letting the rest become enshittified?

As much as people have told me all my life that the profit motive makes companies compete to deliver the best products, I don't know that I've ever actually seen that pan out in my fucking life. What it does is it flattens all products offered in a given market to whatever set of often highly arbitrary and random aspects all the competitors seem to think is the most important. For an example, look at short form video, which started with Vine, was perfected by TikTok, and is now being hamfisted into Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube despite not really making any sense in those contexts. But the "market" decided that short form video is important, therefore everything must now have it even if it makes no sense in the larger product.

You know a publicly traded company lying about its actions is straight up illegal here in Aus. That would be classed as misleading investors. Also HP bricking devices remotely. Straight up illegal. Not sure how weak the consumer protections are in the US but that behavior won't fly down under. ACCC will have something to say without a doubt.
This. The worst thing is that I get mad at them for not doing what I want them to, faster, when the tooling and my crooked explanations are at fault, not them. Not that I mention that out loud, but sometimes I feel ashamed for those feelings.
