To the uninitiated, bevy is one of Rust's two main game engines, the other being Fyrox.

Bevy, despite being written by an army of contributors is continually behind Fyrox which is developed mostly by one guy. Fyrox not only has an editor and a UI toolkit, both of which bevy devs keep just talking about, it recently also added a UI editor. In addition the author is writing 2 games to dogfood Fyrox.

Yet despite all this, Fyrox gets a fraction of the attention and money. Maybe it's because it uses proven old tech instead of being a resaerch project, maybe it's because the author is russian, maybe because people are afraid of a 3D-first engine, maybe fyrox doesn't focus on promotion enough. Idk, but here i am doing my bit to make the world a tiny bit more fair even if I annoy all the bevy fans who kept posting about bevy on every single fyrox post that wasn't completely downvoted and ignored.
Five years is light speed in terms of public works! I felt the same way.
I didn't work on Android until 2016. As someone who was very much not old guard, Chet's book helped fill in a lot of details and historical context for me. I enjoyed the read and recommend it. So long Chet, and thanks for all the fish.

I don't know, 25-30 happens to be the age at which most people are having the most sex (at least statistically), its a time when you are still sharp and horny and haven't gotten bored of chasing sex but you have stupidly high self-confidence and your whole life and the the whole world ahead of you, when you become involved in real industry and make some of the most important social connections in your life.

It might be unique to our era (of capitalism), but its definitely true that even if those teenagers appear to be polite, you must remember yourself what it was like to be a teenager, how frustrated and angry and anxious you were all the time, how little you really knew about the world, even if you were nice in public. I don't think those basic impressions you get are definitive.
'Ad fraud' and 'bot traffic' tools really don't have any true insight into these walled gardens.

None of them are running their own code on anyone's device to track anything, at best they're processing data given to them from a Meta/TikTok/X etc. API that might have a bit more data other people don't have access to.

Maybe that uncovers some new insight and some egregious cases of fraud occasionally, but ultimately the big platforms are basically just saying 'trust me bro' and getting rubber stamped by these vendors. I don't doubt X is full of bot traffic, but Meta might just be better at fudging their numbers to CHEQ for all we know.
Nothing of the sort has been written or suggested in this discussion. This is bizarre.
> They're arbitrary not because of the ruling (although putting judicial functions in the executive is scarcely better than putting legislative functions there), they're arbitrary because the rule you're being fined for violating was created by the administrative agency fining you rather than Congress.

Rule-making cannot be devolved at the legislature's discretion?

So the legislature can't write a law that says "within bounds X, org Y has the power to manage the rules around thing Z"?

(It would work in the UK, where these powers are most often delegated to the executive via Henry VIII clauses, so this is a genuine question, not a rhetorical one).
Why not just go with RJ11 (6P4C) instead? The PCB mount connectors are cheap, cables are easily available even from most local electronics stores, up to 10m lengths.

Show HN: Kickstart your marketing efforts for free
Hey HN

I built a free AI SEO app called seoby.ai. I'm launching it on ProductHunt, Reddit and a few other places on Monday (19th February).

It's 100% free, and has some pretty neat tools:

1. AI Content Detector: Find out if your content was written by a human or generated by AI.

2. AI Outline Generator: Remove writer's block and generate SEO-friendly outlines for your articles, blog posts, and landing pages.

3. AI SEO Topic Cluster Generator: Generate SEO-optimized topic clusters for your website and get better search engine visibility.

I would love feedback/ideas/suggestions of what to add. Once again, it's 100% free to use (paid for by sponsors and affiliate comissions).

Thanks,
Lewis
I am just loading GGUF models from HuggingFace that have good scores in the benchmarks, and running my private eval set from my current project. Some of the merged models are surprisingly good compared with simple fine-tunes.

Well yes, you could gather that, but also highlighting that what inspection boxes do in regards to F&R does not necessarily relate to the problems covered in the article because F&R has to work extremely quickly across the internet, often ruling out anything related how the box in the middle could see it and instead being about what endpoints can do independently via things like DPLPMTUD instead.

The boxes do run into very interesting problems and knowledge space though, just more on the inverse of the problem at hand (how to properly act like a client receiving already fragmented data).
> nobody noticed trucks hauling out tons upon tons of metal etc), scrap dealers (who are clearly the most ethical, honest sort)

If you look at images of mast towers, there isn't much there. Basically a metal scaffold with the antenna at the top. If you look at this tower[1], a 85 foot tower is about 480 lbs, and the radio tower was supposedly around 200 feet tall so , it's probably less than 1200 lbs of metal. Probably a fairly large load but probably not really unusual.

It’s kind of an empty read.
It's hard to know what you're saying. Everything should be examined carefully (although you can't examine something "with nuance" - nuance is not an examination tool). What are you actually saying? If $1 buys a good meal somewhere, but it costs $15 for the same meal somewhere else, paying someone less in the former location is not a moral failing.
> Like, in what way - you get a windows popup saying "hey, just detected a bit error, but it was corrected, all good"?

No I've set it up so I get an email.

> Because if yes, you'd get such a popup daily

I doubt that. There was a study done at Google that reported 8% of DIMMs encountered at least one memory error per year[0].

> I'm not sure what the actual value of it is.

I like my PC to be as deterministic as possible[1] so if my programs crash I don't want to have to turn it off and test the memory which takes hours[2].

> Connections FROM the West (e-commerce connections, "we buy from you", "you are a merchant to us", etc., etc.) TO Alibaba.com (in China) -- are not blocked, and would NOT be blocked by the Chinese government!

Um, conspiracy theories aside, Alibaba has servers in the US.
The owners of the corporation are materially damaged when the corporation gets sued or fined. That happens because that pile of contracts is essentially the steward of their money. However, the corporation itself doesn't take actions. It's just a pile of contracts. Managers take actions.

I do agree that corporate managers have a weird form of liability shield for their bad actions, though. However, if you dig into why this happens, it's often because of things like plausible deniability and diffusion of responsibility, which you don't need a corporation to create (see the way the mob operates).

The world is not zero sum! The average human is better off now then they were any number of decades ago, and things have improved for those on the bottom even more. 38% of the world lived in extreme poverty in 1990, by 2019 that number was down to 9%. In that same time frame access to basic sanitation increased from 32% to 56%, life expectancy increased from 64 years to 71 years, and so on with various of quality of life statistics.

Designing an economic system for "fairness" is a horrible idea. I would rather live in an economic system with high inequality, high standards of living, and high social mobility, than in a system with low inequality, low standards of living, and low social mobility. Inequality is bad in the same way that debt or medicine is bad: the danger is in the dose. A society with extreme inequality is probably screwed, but a society with moderate inequality is not necessarily worse off than a society with low inequality.

Wealth taxes have been tried many times, they don't work very well.

> In the natural world hoarding works in the opposite way. A stash of nuts doesn't magically grow. Quite the opposite. Real effort has to be expended to preserve the stash.

So you would prefer to spend your time roaming the forest in proletariat ecstasy looking for more nuts, rather than using the nuts to plant some trees?
I moved from vim to vscode. The main driver was an easier time writing extensions.

I've tried to switch to neovim twice since and gave up. Lua is nice and I did get into that the first time. Crashing and errors were rife though. The second time, which was very recently, it seemed like everything had changed again, all completely new plugins etc. And I struggled to do some basic stuff, I guess I've just forgotten the more in-depth file/window management. So it goes.

Infographics: Wealth Inequality in America (2018)

https://youtu.be/EZRFVjU2IWs

America is similar to Brazil and Mexico, but it's a third-world country politically with mostly soft, misguided, uneducated voters who don't realize how badly they're mistreated unable or unwilling to take effective corrective actions to address the root causes. Jan 9 riots, conspiracy theories, political complaints about one party or another, bikeshedding, and flashpoint issues absorb and express this discontent ineffectively. Unfortunately, economic inequality cannot be reformed from within (see also: John McCain) when the political operating system is absurdly polluted and usurped by billionaires intent on maintaining the status quo feudal lobbying system that anoints celebrities to high office with media buys in exchange for access and influence. Nonviolent, massive, sustained pressure is the only way to force out the corrupt, bribed officials and attain revolutionary campaign finance reform.

I think Musk is smart enough to know how criminal and deceptive the US government is to their own people and follows the truth about things, and not your typical biased thinking that most Americans are already unknowingly programmed to think a particular way. I think Musk is about truth and freedom and anyone that can't see that is ignorant to the real truth about things. Not everyone is right all the time, definitely including myself, but if I were to place bets, my dollars and rubles would be on Musk any day of the week.
Recycling is not a magic word for "cheap". Landfilling a bunch of panels every 50 years is fine: they're "just" sintered sand.

Heh Bevy sounds like Rust itself. Good PR with money behind it is its no1 cause of adoption.

"internal and external violence is not something that must be suppressed; people are naturally at peace"

That seems pretty optimistic. Most countries in the world have had very violent episodes in their past, indicating that chaotic or organized violence can erupt in any culture and that institutions like the police and prisons play a role in suppressing it.

I can believe that most people are naturally at peace, but a few per cent of the population are psychopaths who can spoil it for everyone else.

We have a live situation unfolding in front of our eyes in El Salvador: by imprisoning something like 1 per cent of the population, the previously hellish crime rate plunged precipitously.

I am also old enough to remember the nasty civil wars around the breakup of Yugoslavia. In the 1980s, Yugoslavia was quite a prosperous and peaceful nation, somewhat envied from the Soviet Bloc for its better living standard. In a relatively short time, it turned into a bloodbath.

I've been building My First Game™ using Bevy after teaching myself Rust last year. I feel super cool running Rust in WASM in the browser! It's been a great experience overall and I highly recommend exploring what Bevy has to offer.

The community is really exceptional. I ask questions daily and get helpful responses usually within minutes. Bevy hides some of the complexities of Rust, such as lifetimes, away from normal development. This was a pleasant surprise for someone coming in with little awareness of Rust.

Writing in ECS is pretty confusing to begin with and, IMO, represents the steepest part of the learning curve. After a while ECS starts to feel more natural though and you'll wonder why you were ever comfortable doing OOP.

The main sore spots for me are: UI needs a lot of work to be ergonomic and beautiful, there's a lot of footguns related to performance and event handling/change detection, which do have workarounds, but at the cost of ergonomics, and, specifically for WASM, everything (including rendering) is still single-threaded which makes the app perform worse than well written JavaScript for now.

I'd be happy to try and answer any questions about my experience as a complete noob to Rust/Bevy/ECS/game development and having immersed myself ~full time on a game for the past year.

FYI, you can browse my game's code here: https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants
What is the rationale for so many of these ‘run it locally’ AI ports to run as a server?

Have developers forgotten that it’s actually possible to run code inside your UI process?

We see the same thing with stable diffusion runners as well as LLM hosts.

I don’t like running background services locally if I don’t need to. Why do these implementations all seem to operate that way?

I think plenty of people have suicidal ideation, especially in moments of despair. I don't really believe it needs a drastic response and checking yourself in - especially if you believe you're being persecuted - is likely to get you nothing helpful and is way over the top. Because it isn't like you're going to receive expert and specialised treatment at a public health facility (which is where you'll go if you're on a hold) - they'll peg you as having some sort of paranoia issue, shoot you full of thorazine and stick you on a bed for 72h because that works 95% of the time and frankly that's all they have the resources for.

Aluminium is a better thermal conductor than plastic? Might help move some of the heat away from the face and take some of the thermal load off the fans?

A lot of Apples decision seems to make more sense when considering how incredibly powerful (and thus hot) it is. The external battery pack (which is a 3 cell 13V pack btw) is definitely a consequence of that, they supposedly have some of the power electronics in there which helps move a bit of the heat generating stuff away from the face.

Imagine if you wanted to make a powerful headset without a fan. How would you even do that in plastic? You’d definitely want to transport the heat out to the perimeter or front, and plastic would just not be the most suitable for that.

So maybe that’s the path they’re looking towards? They might eventually be able to get rid of the fan with better chip technology, without compromising on compute, but then they need some metal to shed the heat from.

Perhaps the development they’re doing with titanium on iPhone is also a step in that direction. Letting them use metal without as much of a weight penalty.
I just googled that, what a beauty!
Your conspiratorial framing here strikes me as odd, as well as unnecessarily denigrating Bevy as a "research project." Isn't the answer quite obvious, which is that if someone wants to use an engine built off "proven old tech", they should probably just use one of the major players in the space, and that Bevy's uniqueness/commitment to the ECS model is precisely what causes it to generate more hype and energy? Is this really an issue of "fairness"?

Bullshit resources are finite.

You are just being obstinate all over this thread not even rebutting points, just straw-manning.

I always wondered if that meant the first 90% takes 50% of the time or 10% of the time.

You could see it as the last 10% taking 90% which is the same as the first and total work was actually 180%, so the first took 50% of total.

Or you can see it as the last taking 90% of the time for real, so the first 90% took 10%.

It is a factor 5 difference between the two interpretations, so it really matters a ton.

The WIXI site, 0.35 miles away, has a white building [1] [2] [3]. One-third of a mile distance in a forested area is a reasonable distance to not see the WIXI tower from the ground.

And it doesn't even block, it preflights the requests, and if the device exists and responds, it will only block if the device sets a special header? Which of course no existing devices will, so it's going to do very little good - nothing for existing IoT gear, and likely not much more for new devices, unless all those manufacturers rapidly embrace setting the new header. To me it seems like it'd be a far more obvious approach to just throw up a dialog that says "the current page wants to connect to things on your home network, does that seem reasonable to you, or should I continue to block that?"
well, if you read the article. the issue isn't really fragmentation as a mechanism, its finding the appropriate (dynamic) path MTU. that's kinda gonna be a problem forever given the stateless nature of IP. it would be fine if people hadn't decided that ICMP was .. undesirable.

Why do you care about average quality? You're hiring a specific person. These kind of things should be rule-in, not rule-out. You also cannot tell the difference between resume spam and a potential candidate until you read the resume.

400 resumes @ 1min per (Which is generous) is ~7hrs.

400 resumes @ 10sec per is only ~1hr.

Recruiters might be useful at filtering out obvious spam, though I don't feel like can help with much past that and I think they're also liable to put legitimate but unconventional candidates in the spam pile.
