I feel like I can almost guarantee that this bill has nothing to do with protecting children and has more to do with brainwashing children and restricting their access to opposing viewpoints, especially given this is Florida.

That being said, I am not strictly opposed to a bill like this. But 16 is way too old. I feel like likely somewhere within the 10 to 13 range since most don't allow for under 13 anyways would be fine. But then if they all block under 13 what is the point of the bill?
So. Strange as it seems, is Meta being more 'Open', than OpenAI that was created to be the 'open' option to fight off Meta and Google?

Show HN: Boardzilla, a framework for making web-based board games

Tldr: We’ve made a framework for web-based board games. You can try out some games over at https://boardzilla.io, or you can take a look at https://docs.boardzilla.io to learn more about how to develop your own game. Source is available at https://github.com/boardzilla

Hey y’all. My brother and I have made a framework for board games. During the pandemic we started to look at BGA but got discouraged by how old-fashioned the tools were and how cumbersome the development process was. We set out to make our own framework where you could use the same code for both the client and server. Our hope is anyone familiar with Typescript and CSS could code up a game without worrying about state management, persistence or networking.

It’s still very much a wip, and we're rapidly adding features and games. But we’ve got our first draft of developer docs done, and we've put up a few games we've developed to showcase and test out the platform. Source for the games and framework is available on Github, and we’re excited to code more games and hopefully encourage other people to try it out. Happy for any feedback.
> Why would you do age verification on login? It only needs to happen once on account creation.

Oops. That slipped my mind. For sites that require log-in, my previous comment is wrong.

I had unconsciously assumed that at least one site would implement the age verification system without requiring users to make accounts to browse the site. In this comment, I will make explicitly make that assumption. For sites without log-in walls but with government-mandated age verification, the concerns in my previous comment would apply. But sites with log-in walls have their own privacy problems independent of age verification, chief being that having to log in means letting the first party site track how often I use the site. A different problem (not necessarily privacy-related, but can be) of log-in walls is that I would be forced to create accounts. If I don't wish to deal with the burden of making accounts, then I won't browse the website. If the website made a log-in wall in response to an age verification mandate from a government, then my First Amendment right to access the speech the website wished to provide will have been chilled.
Kids want to communicate. Whether it's TikTok, Discord, phpBB, chatting in Roblox or Minecraft, they will if they can.

If we want to "ban social media" we'll need a consistent set of guidelines about what counts as social media and what doesn't, and what exactly the harms are so they can be avoided.

I don't believe that's as easy as you think.
My first question is, how much memory can the iGPU address? It'd be awesome to run inference for a bigger model like Mixtral 8x7B with these and 64GB+ of DDR5.
Figuring out how z dimensions work is probably the hardest part of the game for me. Sometimes I just cannot make a stairway the way I want it or ramps or moats.
That’s a bummer if true and not a temporary issue. The RSS is my workflow for creating a newsletter and if RSS does not work then I’m way less likely to include any yt content because I simply won’t come across this. It’s not like Google would care about this either.
> But of course that option isn’t realistic for the vast majority of people.

Your own numbers had it as doable but unpleasant. Should I not use those?

> I’m doubtful that most people with these variable plans sincerely knew that a spike that high was even possible.

That's a problem but it's a separate issue from whether they're better off financially.

> If you bought a variable rate mortgage to save money you wouldn’t expect it to ever be adjusted to 200% APR.

That would be pretty surprising, yeah, but if it was only affecting the payment for one month then it could still be a better deal overall.

> And the truth of the matter is that a $2,000+ electric bill isn’t reflecting anything close to the actual cost of generating the electricity, just like paying $50 for a roll of toilet paper during the pandemic wouldn’t reflect the real cost of producing the item plus a reasonable profit margin.

That's not true at all. It's not gouging.

The underlying principle of the Texas grid is that power plants that are almost never used get 0 dollars for months or years on end, and then they make all their money in a short window. The reason wholesale prices are allowed to go that high is to encourage those power plants to exist, because otherwise those power plants would not be built. That huge price is paying for years of maintenance and deprecation.
I have a 75" OLED in the living room where I watch things while wearing AirPods Max. Image quality and sound is superb, but I also often watch movies on my iPad Pro in the bedroom (no place to put tv there).

I still get Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision on both devices and with iPad being much closer than TV screen size is alright.

People that watch movies on their phones and smaller ipads are wild. I tried watching movies on Quest 2 - too bulky.

Yes as a New Zealander it's depressing following US-based car discussions. Cars are sooo cheap in the USA. Not to mention fuel, being roughly half what we pay.
Wikipedia: "The first practical prominent device that could amplify was the triode vacuum tube, invented in 1906 by Lee De Forest, which led to the first amplifiers around 1912."

It takes quite a bit of time to develop an electronic instrument, and the realization it could be done must have come some time after amplifiers became more widely used. So 1920 isn't unrealistic, IMO.
I bought my F350 15 years ago for $10k, if is worth 7k now. (1999, 7.8 diesel engine). However I have also paid $1000/year to ensure it, which for as little as I use it works out to nearly $.50/mile. It hasn't been a great investment (as a diesel it doesn't like to start in winter), but I can never find anyone to rent me a truck when I need one so it stays (I can rent a truck shaped vehicle with fine print that doesn't let me use it for what I want a truck for)
C implicitly converts integer types as needed. The specific conversion rules are rather convoluted, see section 6.3 of the ISO C standard for the details. Before C23 this was implementation defined, but since C23 now mandates two's complement representation of signed integers and wrapping for unsigned overflow (as before) the `-1` is converted to UINT_MAX. Then the `%d` format specifier performs a conversion from `unsigned int` back to `int` for printing, resulting in `-1`. Implicit conversions between types of the same rank are guaranteed to "round-trip", you get back the value you started with when converting back to the starting type. If they'd specified an unsigned format specifier for printing then they wouldn't get `-1` printed.
Small note, that's not true for Google Cloud, which runs on top of Linux, though modified.

Sadly it does not work at all, as it was a joke :/.

But I did think about how it could work. It could work by peridically sampling the instructions the current thread is running and detect trivial infinite loops that way.

With more effort more complicated infinite loops could be detected, but in the end not all, due to the halting problem.

edit: Actually maybe halting problem is not (theoretically) involved if you have a lot of memory: take snapshots every after every instruction. Once you take a snapshot you have already taken previously, you have found a loop. However you would still might need to somehow account for (emulate and include in snapshot?) or disallow external IO, such as time of day.

Getting to watch things like Mormonism (and, to some extent, Scientology, though that's a bit of a different beast) develop under conditions that provide pretty good records and a variety of disinterested accounts, has definitely been instructive for interpreting plausible courses of development of older religions. "Why would all these people lie?" "Why would so many people attest to having seen something that was actually bullshit? It must have happened!"

Well... I mean, you'd think so, but not so much, it turns out.
WhisperLive supports both TensorRT and faster-whisper.
We didn’t reduce the chunk size rather use padding based on the chunk size received from the client. Reducing the segment size should be a more optimised solution in the Live scenario.

For streaming we continuously stream audio bytes of fixed size to the server and send the completed segments back to the client while incrementing the timestamp_offset.
It pretty much comes down to 2 factors which is memory bandwidth and compute. You need a high enough memory bandwidth to be able to "feed" the compute and you need beefy enough compute to be able to keep up with the data that is being fed in by the memory. In theory a single Nvidia 4090 would be able to run a 70b model with quantization at "useable" speeds. The reason mac hardware is so capable in AI is because of the unified architecture meaning the memory is shared across the GPU and CPU. There are other factors but it essentially comes down to tokens per second advantages. You could run one of these models on an old GPU with low memory bandwidth just fine but your tokens per second would be far too slow for what most people consider "useable" and the quantization necessary might star noticeably effecting the quality.
That's like saying "80% of the internet has gone to shit, might as well destroy the remaining good 20%".

Yeah, my "expectation" was meant in regard to non-gang violence, which varies by country a lot. Gang on gang, or inner crime violence is for the most part irrelevant to the argument, as it's not something the general population is involved in, usually.

My point is, femicides are a much bigger problem than people realize. Considering the majority of murderers and other criminals are men, I don't think it's wild to presume some form of gender specific motivations in those murders, without getting all academic here.

Sadly the state of California bans simple box fans + filters from being sold. For example if you try to buy a "Lasko Air Flex Steel Portable Home Office 3 Speed Air Purifier Machine Box Room Fan with Manual Ergonomic Control Knob and 6 Foot Cord, White" from Amazon you will be greeted with this when you try to order:

"""This product does not meet California air cleaner regulation requirements, and cannot be shipped to California"""

This is essentially like the video, but a slightly beefed up box fan to handle the extra load from the filter. It also takes standard household furnace filters. People have tested these and they totally work.

For a state that often has horrific air quality due to wild fires it's total BS you can't quicky order something like this off Amazon in a pinch.

Is this possible to run locally and just have aliases in the CLI?

I have a bunch of VHS -> my machine captures of now dead martial arts instructors' seminars - and I have a decades long desire to digitize then mocap them - and I found some tools for building AI rigs for games/deepfakes - but I would love to be able to Command the Vids into the formats I need to ingest them to such rigging tools - which do a poor job... (Anyone Recall Poser3D? That was a first attempt... Manual rigging...)

IDEALLY: We need an ai | (we need a PIPE TO NEXT AI/LLM operator);

... I want to tie all these and more into a string:

https://i.imgur.com/XIVz05g.png

">>> *take this vid from 3:33 to 4:14, make a PNG for the first frame, normalize audio, stabilize video and create individula frames cropped to just the humans at 1:1 4k, build an index and create a log file detailing your efforts then | {next CLI LLM function to create AI rig, ALA Scenario.com}"

EDIT: uh, I uploaded a file [0] then asked it to rotate 90 [1]... this process was really slow to do a transform (upload, select operation, wait, image downloaded... just seemed extremely wasteful in all aspects of energy - time, energy, money, compute. :-(

Not denigrating the project - just that its much better to do simplt transforms local and just know how to do that (it makes the world a better place)...

But an AI piping to throw vids at and have it effective normalize and prep vids for ingestion is great - but again, want to do that local - until its a library of services that you want from a cloud, such as a use case - where, if you were to use GCP's Visiual stream labeling tooling could save you a bunch of efficiency on speed of AI processing - if you can funnel a stream through this first - then have that piped to GCP vision, you may end up with cleaner, smaller frames resulting in higher accuracy.

- KillTheNewsletter

Looks like I'd have to make a YouTube account for every channel to get separate feeds, or else combine every channel into one big feed.

- subscriptions

Similarly, it looks like this is just one big list of videos from every channel, with only a handful fitting on screen at once, and they don't go away once I've watched/clicked on the video, so there's no concept of read/unread. It also means I would have yet another aggregation webpage I periodically visit, as opposed to having most of my information feed in two places (one tab for email and one tab for RSS).

This is currently outside my skillset, but it may ultimately be the direction I go in (if the outage isn't just a bug). Thanks for these nouns - I can use them to get started.
Does irobot get compensated for this failed deal?

I think the author is excited because he found the plane in roughly the area he expected to find it if she was thrown off course by an instrumentation fault that occurs when crossing the international date line. Also, it was about the right shape.

Also, it wasn't near the fighting in WWII, and the shape doesn't match that of WWII carrier aircraft.

I'll be more excited when they get out there with a deep sea probe and take some photographs.

The main question is, why are houses not like every other commodity? You never see anybody who is literally too poor to afford shoes. A car, despite being an industrial miracle assembled out of precision parts, is far cheaper than a house. Food insecurity is largely manageable for most people in rich countries.

The answer is, of course, politics - and that's also why you'll never solve homelessness with a better capsule hotel.

A friend of mine works for the city in Strasbourg, and the mayor's office wanted to improve the situation of the homeless, so they installed some basic amenities for a homeless camp. Within a fortnight, the police had trashed the amenities. If you make the situation better for the homeless in a state that wants the homeless to go elsewhere, the politics will unsolve your solution.
Meta still sit on all the juicy user data that they want to use AI on but they don’t know how. They are crowdsourcing development of applications and tooling.

> Roughly a month into the trip, the team captured a sonar image of the plane-shaped object about 100 miles from Howland Island — but didn't discover the image in the submersible's data until the 90th day of the voyage, making it impractical to turn back to get a closer look.

To be a skeptic, this sounds like confirmation bias.
We've been working with Capacitor recently which is the current iteration of webview-to-native. Basically you just build a website and run it through a compile step to output iOS and Android. The ergonomics of the build process and integration with native features is definitely a bit lumpy, but we've been very successful at building an all-in-one codebase that will power web, ios and android with minimal drift.
Just make sure you're comfortable with manually compiling the bitsandbytes and generally combine a software stack of almost out of date libraries
Arch stays pretty close to upstream and rolling release means you only get little updates, no version upgrades.

It is boring in the “don’t do anything unexpected and avoid catastrophic changes” sense.

It's not that far fetched if you move most of the hardware to a fanny pack or similar. You can probably get pretty close with current smart glasses (or Bigscreen Beyond) and a (next gen) Steam Deck.

You know, I'm not really sure that requiring IDs for access to porn / social media is a terrible idea. Sure it's been anonymous and free since the advent of the internet, but perhaps it's time to change that. After all, we don't allow a kid into a brothel or allow them to engage in prostitution (for good reasons), and porn is equally destructive.

But with the topic at hand being social media, I think a lot of the same issues and solutions apply. It's harmful to allow kids to interact with anyone and everyone at any given time. Boundaries are healthy.

Aaaaand, finally there's much less destruction of human livelihood by guns than both of the aforementioned topics if we measure "destruction" by "living a significantly impoverished life from the standard of emotional and mental wellbeing". I doubt we could even get hard numbers on the number of marriages destroyed by pornography, which yield broken households, which yield countless emotional and mental problems.

So, no, guns aren't something we should discuss first. Also, guns have utility including but not limited to defending yourself and your family. Porn has absolutely zero utility, and social media is pretty damn close, but not zero utility.
I have done exactly that many times, but if you look at car forums with older high quality cars like 80s Mercedes and Volvos, it's not rare at all, what I am talking about is the norm.

Think about what you said- when the hefty maintenance stuff starts coming in, if someone doesn't scrap or sell the thing and just pays for all of that, you usually have about as many miles again before it starts to happen again, yet the value is through the floor. I've bought a few cheap 200k mile vehicles that had really extensive service records, usually bought new by wealthy people and maintained with no expense spared, that I put another 100-200k miles on before they needed any major work again.

If you're really thrifty, a small 80s European diesel sedan with a stickshift, like the Mercedes 190D or VW Rabbit, has fuel efficiency close to a modern hybrid, at really low cost. Not so great emissions though.
Corporate greed meant they got an exception to environmental rules for SUVs, which they then sell for more profit.
