Show HN: Creating a Snake game clone with Rust/Bevy
Code is here:
https://github.com/bebrws/bevy-snake

I had a lot of fun practicing Rust and Learning some Bevy concepts with this repository.

Bevy has an incredibly powerful dependency injection system and follows a pattern called ECS which makes it very powerful (and new to me).

This simple < 300 lines of code might help with learning some Bevy concepts.

It also shows how to copmile for the web/WASM and inject a canvas for the game (or use a pre existing div).
I will reserve judgement on Sora until I actually get to use it.

Anything less than Midjourney for video will be hugely disappointing.

I still love chatGPT but my use is so limited compared to what it was 9 months ago. Then I think about how a language model could help with basically anything I have ever been paid to do and the reality is I don't think it would be much help. Then if we go back to college/school I wouldn't have used it to learn more. I would have used it to do less work and probably learned less.

I am so happy that heat pumps are getting more and more attention. They have the opportunity to reduce the energy used to heat a home by 75%.

They're not "perfect" (e.g. they don't work at <0F temperatures without truly absurdly large heat-exchange components that aren't worth the capital expense). I also know a lot of people would like the option to use natural gas, but I'd like to think that with this type of additional investment and focus, some future heat pumps could use natural gas as their "backup resistive heating" instead of electric.
I agree that web is currently 99% terrible

- web crypto
- 100s of others

I'll defend the idea that it was obvious. (Although, it wasn't obvious to me until someone pointed it out, so maybe that's not obvious.)

If you watch this video[0], you'll see in the first frame that there is a clear boundary between learning rates that converge or not. Ignoring this paper for a moment, what if we zoom in really really close to that boundary? There are two possibilities, either (1) the boundary is perfectly sharp no matter how closely we inspect it, or (2) it is a little bit fuzzy. Of those two possibilities, the perfectly sharp boundary would be more surprising.

> big tech companies can erect too many barriers to entry.

It's easy to complain about this. But let's also keep in mind BOTH (1) That erecting a billion-plus actual legit revenue business is NOT easy. (2) That network effects can often amplify such businesses - but that this is not a new issue: remember "nobody gets fired for going with IBM" from way back. (3) That these unstoppable giants DO actually have a short lifetime: remember AOL, myspace, Sony consumer electronics, Yahoo, DEC, HP, GE, oh right IBM, and so many others, in fact most others.

So that one problem is looking at all this with a too short timeframe. In fact, NONE of these are sure bets or guaranteed ANY future. They have to keep performing. They have to keep avoiding fuckups. They will still not avoid better run, or more lucky competitors.

Not particularly as you're ignoring the environment when the rules were made. When the rules were made they made them as constrained (we want that right?). So the remaining chips were the ones nvidia had two/three product segments down. Then nvidia introduced a new chip that was 99% instead of just selling the ones they had that were 75/80%. You can see how nvidia is participating in bad faith over this. Blaming the g-men for releasing constrained, market-aware rules is itself a bad faith participation.

The 13” Macbook Air is advertised to get 15-18h and 14” MBP 15-22h, and real world numbers with light-to-midweight usage is pretty close to that. My work/personal 16” M1 Pro/Max MBPs can end a day of work in Xcode and/or Android studio with 40-50% battery left. They do this out of the box with zero tweaking and have zero performance difference between plugged in or unplugged (no throttling).

My ultraportable (ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 1) gets 5-7h on a good day with the system set to “power saver” mode, with little difference between Windows and Fedora. If I’m juggling several tabs or doing anything slightly more intense it’s going to be lower.

The best x86 ultraportable option I’ve seen from current gen offerings is probably the HP Dragonfly G4, which if configured with the 1920x1280 screen and lowest-TDP CPU can manage around 14h which sounds ok, but efficiency still isn’t as good as with the MacBooks because it’s only capable of that with light usage because it has a 16Wh larger battery than a Macbook Air, has a lower resolution display that’s about half as bright, and has to be in power saver mode.
Vertical tabs would be unusable on a window that's resized to be half the width of a 16:9 display.

X86 and ARM are practically the same these days in performance.

Let me explain RISC vs CISC, RISC is Reduced Instruction Set Computer and CISC is Complex Instruction Set Computer. The base component instruction sets of x86 are CISC. The base component instruction sets of ARM are RISC.

When technology evolves and newer instruction sets are required to handle those tasks they can often become more complex and so today with the variety of instruction sets on both x86 and ARM they are closer to each other more than ever. Still different.

Now going to the differences between ARM and x86 where it matters. ARM has the lowest power draw to performance ratio but it's need for power skyrockets as it approaches more complicated tasks. x86 starts higher in power draw but its performance is pretty maintained under all workloads.

Neither are wrong, just it depends what you're planning to do. x86 is probably the best architecture for the general user, but ARM is great in a phone if everything stays relatively simple. Notice how some phones with 4000 mAh battery will be dead in 30mins while playing a game which the Steam Deck can handle for maybe 1.5 hours of gameplay? However if I wanted something to stay on all day to receive text notifications and pretty much be idle in my pocket, I'd want an ARM processor. I think the real reason Apple went ARM is that after studying the life habits of their customers they realized most of their laptop users fold sleep their devices like a phone without ever really charging them. At least the majority, when working in a Mac Shop, the term used for a mac only software development team, the constant amount of fold close open recharge would've been better on an ARM processor. Someone at work even asked if they could just code on their Samsung phone because it got better battery life than the old Intel Macs.

> it possible you haven't understood the rules

Yes, that's possible. But the (ostensible) rules of originalism are not exactly rocket science.

> Following the 14th Amendment, there were no anti-miscegenation laws (or they lingered dormant).

That statement has the form of "Santa Claus exists (or the sky is blue)." It's technically not false, but it is not a good-faith argument either. There absolutely were anti-miscegenation laws in 1865; such laws date back to 1691. So there is absolutely no possible originalist justification for Loving. When Loving was decided, anti-miscegenation laws had been on the books continuously since long before the United States even declared independence from Britain.

>That the 14th Amendment was democratically -- if contentiously -- adopted by the people with the express consequence of ending racial discrimination (education, marriage) is a ridiculously easy case to make.

None of that is even remotely close to being true. You are either not arguing in goof faith, or you are profoundly ignorant of history. The passage of the 14th Amendment was followed by 100 years of uncontested Jim Crow laws [2]. Even today the Republican party is hard at work finding new and creative ways to disenfranchise minority voters [3-8, and I could have gone on and on and on].

I assume it depends on the department. CS students are afraid of non-integer values, engineering students are afraid of codes longer than 200 lines. Just kidding, mostly.

AI is certainly not at the top in revenue, not even close. Unless you are selling shovels (nvidia, cloud computing). It's fashionable and lots of people are betting on the potential. Remains to be seen how close and remunerative the products will be. And standalone or as middleware services, one winner or a sea of providers, etc?

You can find out about the chip to chip interconnect from our paper below, section 2.3. I don't think that's custom.

We achieve low latency by basically being a software-defined architecture. Our functional units operate completely orthoganal to each other. We don't have to batch in order to achieve parallelism and the system behaviour is completely deterministic, so we can schedule all operations precisely.

That can easily become a job. Definitely a safe way to get into business management, over being an engineer.

There are only 4 cases where I have a non optional comment:
* code has a bug
* code is not compliant with a style guide, API rubric, or similar
* architecture is flawed (usually due to skipping a design doc or review) it is introducing tech debt that wasn't agreed to take on
* missing test cases

Everything else is a suggestion I start with the word nit or consider. I leave it up to the author to decide what action to take. Most often they take the suggestion, but not always. It's never been a problem imo either way.

I'm the last to defend the drug companies, but at a basic level, they get the right to sell at high prices because of the cost to bring to market which is absolutely enormous.
Once it goes to market the cost of producing the drug is often very low compared to the price but it's in order to encourage companies to invest in future drugs.

There is very very many ways to go wrong, but in a general sense I agree. You probably shouldn’t be coding in vanilla JS using React instead but the less dependacies the better is a decent heuristic. Until I left tutorial hell by ripping off the bandaid I was unable to learn to code but yes, all the frameworks are very distracting. Do you build websites in vanilla JS, what is the most abstractions you’ll use?

That is why the new Set proposal is welcome.

But my point is when you code an application you are not coding a library, but an app, so you only need to add the methods your app needs. You probably don't need to create an all-encompassing new Set-implementation that wins the library-of-the-year award. :-)

Maybe you just need to add a method named 'eq()'.

An added benefit of creating your own Set-subclass is you can put debugger-statements in its code to observe who uses it and how. You can put assertions in it to ensure only correct type of elements can be added to it etc.

Microsoft is pivoting and that is bad for any company relying on Azure IoT Central. We saw Google deprecate their IoT Core last year which was similar to Azure IoT Hub.

In the end, I don't trust the cloud hyperscalars when it comes to IoT. It's not their core business and all they care about is CPU workload and data ingestion into AI on their clouds.
Most cities are hostile towards people. Maybe we should make them non hostile first, and then we can think about the green part.

The biggest factor contributing to this hostility seems to be personal motorized vehicles. Reducing the number of motorized vehicles (and the space dedicated to them) whenever possible should have a much better impact than introducing greenery.

Put another way, I think people live better in a city made of concrete with few cars than in a green city with lots of cars.
