Honestly I'm not sure it would be terrible for television; I'm just not sure they tried. I think it would be possible to convey the grand arc of history, retain the pre-recorded nature of the Vault, show the different approaches and cultural styles in each era. The dumbest approach would just be to have one mini-series per crisis, and I think even that could work. They don't need to have the same characters throughout the whole thing.

Vulnerabilities are where programmers thought the bounds checks were redundant, and they weren't. This overprotectiveness by default turns out to be useful:

https://github.com/rust-fuzz/trophy-case

Look how many of the crashes are panics and unwraps that could have been buffer overflows or wild pointer derferences otherwise. And there are plenty of arithmetic overflows that are much less dangerous when they can't cause out of bounds access.

The code in this particular codec seems to be a direct translation of C code. Idiomatic Rust code would use iterators more, which work better for optimizing out redundant checks. It's easily fixable.

Kitfox Games are looking for someone to fix the Bay 12 forums
Announcement posted on the Kitfox Games Discord:
Attention Urists with Linux experience! As you might have seen, the Bay12 forums has been down for a few days now (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/index.html#2024-02-23). We aren't exactly sure what's wrong but Tarn says it's a "kernel panic". If you have experience with Dwarf Fortress and Linux and want to help us out, please send details of your experience and 1 reference to tanya@kitfoxgames.com. We will pay you for your help!
I'm not sure what the confusion is, the question being explored is, "how do you define a Money type that features the operations we typically expect to perform and with the results having the expected properties?". He reviews various well-known published designs and their drawbacks, and outlines a design that does not have those drawbacks.

> I find most people usually implement "MoneyBag" intuitively first, so it's odd they left that for third?

I have not found that at all.
I disagree, I think they're more invested in it than anybody.

Not sure Cisco had "two founding engineers", actually. Len would've qualified as an engineer, but Sandy was just... Sandy. And IIRC she thought of herself as the "business side" of the pair. Other pure engineers were of course there early on, but weren't running the company.

On the other hand, it's not obvious Chambers can be counted as a success in running an "engineering company". Chambers ran an acquisition company. It's entirely possible that an acquisition company was a more profitable idea than an an engineering company, but still.

Speaking about 'packet-based approach', the way it's presented in the popular press as if it's similar to Ethernet, is a pretty gross distortion, the impact of which is not nearly as much as people seem to think it is.

You can check that there in this presentation (https://www.vesa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ICCE-Present...), page 32 and 33.

The majority of DP traffic is still brute force video data, interspersed with heavily packetized secondary data.

Over the years, I've spent many hours wading through DisplayPort data debug traces, and I've always wondered what people were smoking when they called it 'packetized like Ethernet'. It's just not true. (And FWIW: even old HDMI can transport secondary data packets just the way you can with DP. It's how audio-over-HDMI is done...)

Back in the early days, when our local paper went digital, I couldn't get a simple subscription that just gave me the paper, the WHOLE paper in a PDF, you had to use their app to get the page you wanted to see, etc. It was horrible.

That was back when I believe the paper honestly reported the news.

You're right. Thank you for pointing that out!
It should be $1 for limited-term access to the whole site, not one article.

Not just journalism but all subscription media should have non-subscription options. All the streaming video or music services should allow 1 day access for $1 or 1 week for $5. It costs them nothing to do so and I don’t think it will erode their monthly subscribers since it’s going to be cheaper for a month.
The last ratio should be 2/3 again.
I used to eat fast food multiple times per week. Now it's once a month, tops. It's just so expensive.

It's crazy to me to think that no one else out there thinks like me? That these companies can just confidently do this and succeed doing it?
Maybe they’re just not giving them enough money - I’m sure for $5m most people would have a child and for $5000 most people wouldn’t, because that doesn’t cover even close to the amount it would cost. It would have to be in between, maybe 100-250k.

When a couple has a child they have to consider both the cost of the child (food, education, childcare) and also the potential lost earnings that they’re suffering from by taking time off work to look after it.
> If the wireless last mile option costs $500/household then you'll get destroyed by a competitor who can come in and offer the same or better service at substantially lower cost.

That's not even necessarily true. The $2000-$5000 is a one time cost, and then that piece of fiber could last for 50 years. Having to amortize $40-$100/year against a service that costs around that much a month isn't fatal. Meanwhile they're offering service for whatever maximum speed so you set your price for that $1 below theirs and then charge $10-$20/month more for double that speed which they can't offer at all. Half the customers take you up on the higher speeds and you make back your costs, the other half take the $1/month discount and your competitor is the one who gets destroyed.
Interesting I remember a bunch of articles and stuff talking about them removing the do no evil bit. Guess I didn't do enough research. Appreciate the correction!

Since version 3 was rewritten from Python to Scala, does that mean it drops support for Python FFI? Does it replace it with Java FFI?

Python FFI in Vyxal was neat because you could trivially import python libraries like sockets, or start doing FFI to C libraries with calls to Python's ctypes. It was a mess but it's satisfying just how many different cross-cutting concerns you could glue together with very little code, when most other esolangs don't provide much of a standard library.

I don’t really get the idea of any type of hunting as sporting or not, between the hunter and the animal. Sports are games where consenting players agree on some set of rules.

If people want to hunt for animal population control or food—I get it, fine. But any idea of fairness between the animal and the hunter is blatantly absurd.

The join syntax in particular seems really clunky compared to what it could have been - it's unclear if they support joining on different column names (i.e. fooid = foo.id or even fooid = parentid) which would be really restricting if unsupported. It'd also be nice if they used the USING/ON distinction that SQL has instead of just supporting USING but calling it ON since that's a weird thing to mentally translate.

Pipe-driven SQLes have been interesting in the past but I much prefer when you start with a big-blob of joins to define the data source before getting into the applied operations - the SQL PQL produces looks like it would have really large issues with performance due to forcing certain join orders and limiting how much the query planner can rearrange operations.
It does not refer to the physical size of any element or feature of the chips.

It's the marketing department's claim about what you'd have had to do to achieve "equivalent performance" using geometries (and probably other things) that are no longer used. Or to put it another way it's completely untethered from reality in every way.

FaSoLaMix is a paid iOS app that lets you listen to a small selection of well-recorded songs where you can listen to the individual parts but sung by real people. Might be interesting to people on here.

From the FaSoLaMix site [1]:

> "FaSoLaMix" is an iOS app designed to teach Sacred Harp singing to newer singers. When someone wants to learn to sing, our instinct is usually to recommend that the inquirer go to a good singing and sit next to a strong singer. But not everyone lives near many all-day singings. Our intent is to give the listener the virtual experience of sitting next to a couple of strong singers in whichever section suits their voice. The app features high-quality recordings of many Sacred Harp songs where the mix of the four parts can be controlled manually. For example, a singer wanting to learn the treble line of a particular song could leave the treble track at full volume, mute the other three parts, and sing along with the solo treble part for practice. While the most obvious benefit will be to new singers, longtime singers will also find it useful and fun. For example, experienced singers may wish to mute one part and fill in that missing part with their own voice.

Neuromancer, Count Zero, Burning Chrome, Mona Lisa Overdrive, The Difference Engine. Virtual Light, Johnny Mnemonic, Idoru.

After that I lost my taste for it almost completely. The novelty factor wore off. I keep meaning to re-read again someday to check if I still feel the same way.

That’s still not 1 bit, and that would basically destroy whatever perf advantage you might hope to get if you want to keep the model in memory in that format rather than unpack it on load.

Recovery of a dead deer that they couldn't find.

They were allowed to shoot and kill the deer. They were not allowed to find the corpse of the legally killed deer using a drone.

Deer run after you shoot them. On many states people use bloodhounds to recover the harvest.
I could see this going horribly wrong, but honestly a LLM that scrapes local government data sources, police blotters, etc, highlights important or interesting information and makes it understandable sounds pretty great.

Could be legacy reasons. Maybe they initially built it around this planet, or maybe they’re from a moon in or it around it, and now it provides more than enough energy for their needs. I find people looking for aliens always expect them to be doing the most efficient thing and forgoing any semblance of history.
If they do a good job with Molly, they need to immediately pick up Mona Lisa Overdrive.
This sounds like you've never been hunting. Animals move, sometimes right as you pull the trigger. Wounding doesn't mean you mortally wounded it either, sometimes it takes several shots no matter how good a marksman you are.

No hunter wants a wounded animal as it will fill the meat with fight or flight hormones such as adrenaline.

I don't know why you think its any more dangerous, no hunters save maybe bows are right up next to it.

Some hunters will track for hours upon hours only to lose the prey, and this would help alleviate that.

I think nixxing drones completely is throwing out the baby with the bath water.
These days you mostly see "above the fold" used to refer to website content, but it originated from the way newspapers would cram their top headlines into the upper half of the front page, so it would be visible at a glance in a newspaper machine or on a newsstand. If the headlines (or the local top stories in the "ears" of the front page) grabbed you, you dropped your nickel/dime/quarter and got the paper.

If you can feel confident based on headlines that yes, there's at least a few things in today's NYT that will interest you, it seems like paying $1 to get a PDF or whatever makes sense.

+1 for Windy! Note that there are two apps named Windy, one with a red icon and one with a blue icon. The one you linked to has a red icon and lists its developer as Windyty, SE.

The one with the blue icon has a site at Windy.app. Their privacy policy is much more hand-wavy, with lines about how they “don’t sell” but “share” your personal information:

One of the techniques they list explicitly is to use the Meta pixel for targeted advertising. I’m not aware of any way to remove geo data from, for example, the Meta pixel and the auctions it sells into. It suggests to me that perhaps they’re thinking of your geo data as incidental to placing targeted advertising.

Show HN: Athena – a data AI agent that mastered diagrams
Hey HN! We’re building Athena, an AI agent that does data analysis, text-to-SQL, multi-modal whiteboard-style data transforms, python execution environment, and more. I wanted to share a capability from our latest platform release that we’re excited about: diagrams!

Mermaid diagrams have been making their rounds recently, so we gave them a try and it turned out… pretty awesome. You can ask Athena to generate ERDs (entity relationship diagrams) when documenting datasets, flowcharts when explaining analyses, queries, data quality issues, code execution, etc. It works in a much wider range of use cases though: we asked Athena to generate a visual primer on Marvel lore, a web service schema, customer journey map for PepsiCo and got impressive results. We also added a live editor, so even if the generation fails, you can inspect the Mermaid code and fix it live.

You can check out a quick demo here: https://youtu.be/BSB0IoUCE0s

We’re very impressed with the way an AI agent can work with diagrams, because it feels like a step-up from text generation (even if it’s still just text). It focuses on concepts, relationships between entities, and ontologies. And, as someone mentioned on HN, it allows bi-directional editing (both users and agent can edit input and output). We’re bullish about enabling enterprise data teams to move from semantic model planning to execution in minutes.

Give it a try yourself — Athena has a free tier (no credit card sign-up). You can give Athena a link to your website, github repo, product and ask her to visualize it in a mermaid diagram or upload a dataset and create visual documentation. Would love to hear your feedback and see notable diagram outputs in the thread!

Also, once you have an account try forwarding an email to her (athena@athenaintelligence.ai), then navigate to conversations to see the results.

I think that's just a question on syntactic sugaring here - so, concretely, what would that mean for comparison operators? If I wanted to `id = id` and both were nullable would I need to express that as two layers of statements where I tried to unwrap both sides first or would we have a maybe vs maybe comparison operator - if we had such an operator what would it do in this case?
I was confused by the fact that it started off with a little sound, and then there was a crescendo, and then it cut off to silence at about the 3 minute mark ... and then around the 4 minute mark sound ramps back up. Was that artificially muted out because that section would have been too loud?
