The problem in complex, large infrastructures is I know exactly what I need to do and have no idea how to even get started. There are no obvious entry points, there are layers upon layers of abstractions to make developing IaC easy for those who maintain it but they reduce comprehensibility to almost zero.

ZIRP is over and startups are back to hard mode

> In 2021 and the first half of 2022 (when most of the 2022 activity happened) we essentially crammed 5 years worth of funding into an 18 month period. Series Bs and Cs were raised when companies were at the typical Series A milestones. Normal round sizes doubled or tripled. Every type of investor was broadly operating in a “risk on” mindset given the ZIRP environment, and the venture capital ecosystem was no exception.

No doubt there are many, many other varieties of humans which we'll never know about because we'll never find any bones.

What chilling is that shows very clearly that humans can go extinct. In fact, humans go extinct all the time: 50,000 years ago, we shared the earth with at least 5 different varieties of humans (Homo Neanterthalensis, Homo Denisova, Homo Naledi, Homo Florensiensis, and Homo Luzenenensis). Probably also some late surviving populations of Homo Erectus and Homo Rudolfensis. Almost certainly more we'll never know about.

Since the last ice age we've been dropping like flies. In fact, we're the only humans left. And what with climate change, accidental nuclear war, or the singularity looming, we are arguably in a more precarious position than we've ever been.

That's a runtime check which does part of what Ada will do. Ada will also perform compile time checks related to uses of these restricted range variables. SPARK can go even further and detect potential overflow/underflow errors (and other things) forcing you to add preconditions (one resolution) to functions that declare that the values being added (or otherwise operated on) are small enough that overflow won't happen.

Ada will also use a reasonable storage size. If Age is ranged [0,150] then it can place it in a single byte (you can also influence the storage size so you can increase this if you want for some reason), there is less memory overhead than an object. Since it's a range it brings in (automatically) all the arithmetic operations you'd expect.

EDIT: Regarding storage. That's technically implementation defined. GNAT, at least, will use a reasonable storage size by default, you have to override it and ask for something bigger. I had occasion to use Green Hills years ago and it did the same as I recall. I'd expect any other commercial implementation to use an appropriate size and not something absurdly large like 64 bits for a range that easily fits in 8 bits, it would not fit their general market (safety-critical, performance-critical, real-time, and embedded systems). Poor use of memory could cripple the utility of a compiler in these kinds of systems (especially performance-critical, real-time, and embedded).
Company execs don't want to raise money at today's lower valuations, because it signals desperation and hurts employee morale. Execs would rather borrow money in the form of "bridge financing." Many execs are crossing their fingers that valuations will go back to previous levels soon enough.

VC execs don't want their portfolio companies to raise money at today's lower valuations, because it would require portfolio write-downs, impacting fund returns, and making it harder to raise new funds. VCs must raise new funds regularly to stay in business.

LPs that invest in VC funds, like college endowments and pension plans, don't want fund portfolio companies companies to raise money at today's lower valuations, because it would require write-downs, impacting their reported performance.

Turns out paying attention to plasma is all you need.
I remember having this idea when I was studying machine learning in college. I'm really happy to see that it occurred to someone else in a position to actually look into it, because it "felt like something might be there" to me.

The basic idea I had was that fusion plasma containment involves containing a turbulent, dynamical system, so it might require some kind of actual intelligence learning or co-evolving with the system.

I wondered if this might be the only way to achieve over-unity fusion outside gravitational confinement (stars, black hole accretion disks, etc.). This would mean there are two fusion mechanisms in nature: gravitational confinement and cognitive confinement. The latter can only be a product of a living system.

When a living system achieves this, its biosphere "ignites" and becomes something I termed a "biostar." Biostars could be potential SETI targets -- biospheres that have harnessed fusion and so emit anomalous amounts of optical and infrared radiation on their night side. This moment of ignition would be an event in a biosphere comparable to the evolution of photosynthesis-- a fundamental change in the energetic dynamics of life.

In the far future life the that achieved fusion could settle things like rogue planets in deep space, so that would be another potential SETI target. Find objects emitting anomalous infrared in the interstellar void. The advantage would be being far from destructive events like solar storms.

Findings

In this cohort study, 33 surgical residents were neuromonitored during 330 laparoscopic suturing drills performed within both self-paced and time-pressured conditions (order randomized). Analysis of 7920 channels of regional brain data demonstrated sustained prefrontal cortical activation in the most stress-resilient residents and deactivation responses among the least resilient residents.

In a way I disagree with you.

On accessibility: I see more custom components that nobody cares to make it properly working with keyboard interaction compared to native HTML input components.

On standards - mixed feelings: we had XHTML, now we don’t. We had IE and jQuery to deal with it, now we don’t need it, but I still see many places that have the old “works best with” message, now with Chrome instead.

On maintainable code: it’s a different shit show, we exchanged spaghetti code for billions of npm dependencies that break if you dare to try and upgrade something.

Why not? Explain your reasoning. E.g. why is not not relevant that we can make a longer list by adding an element to the front of a shorter list, without mutating that shorter list, if the elements are objects that support mutation?

AI stocks are like crypto in 2021. It's getting manic. The media makes it seem like companies and governments are begging to buy GPUs like there's no tomorrow. Hardware is ultimately a commodity.

Dumb question but is this 2.0 live somewhere I can use it or just source code in development?

I remember about 8 years ago there was an "experimental" site for one of the US government's aviation weather products. And it was so very good, designed modern and usable and clean. Didn't look at all like the usual awkward government website. The team seemed like nice folks too but were caught up in some multi-year government funding system. It eventually got shut down and IIRC, none of their work ever got promoted to the main site.

We are very lucky in the US to have a fantastic weather service and a mandate for their products to be free and public domain. Unfortunately there's also a lot of political pressure on them to not be too good so that some commercial company can profit. AccuWeather was one such company, at least back in 2005: https://www.onthecommons.org/privatizing-weather/index.html

Show HN: An algorithmic audio landscape
This is an web audio experiment I've been wanting to do for a long time. Basically an ambient music composition, but all the sound elements are laid out in space, and that musical space can be explored freely.

It's definitely inspired by in-world music that sometimes appears in games. I basically took that concept, keeping the music aspect, and dropping the entire "game" aspect.

I also turned it into a more "traditional" non-interactive album, but since I started with code, why not program the whole thing? Had a blast making the entire album from code, the complete source for the album is here: https://github.com/pac-dev/AmbientGardenAlbum

I don't know, I managed to complete a few games, one with SDL2 and a few with libgdx. But could never complete anything with a "GUI engine" (don't know what the terminology is) like Godot or Unity.

When everything is code, it "makes sense". You have a main loop, you can reason about what is happening when. You can set a breakpoint and walk through everything step by step.

I have no idea what's going on in Unity or Godot. Everything is completely unfamiliar, there are a bunch of abstractions I'm unfamiliar with and I can't rely on any of my past experience. I'm basically starting from scratch.

If I was tasked with making a game quickly, I could probably do it faster in SDL or Libgdx (if that's still around) than I could learn unity or Godot.

As the other person said, these events are often much closer. For example, the Selk'Nam genocide happened in the first decade of the 20th century, the company owners behind it were never prosecuted, and the generational wealth have carried on to the present day. Then you have 20th century Latin American dictatorships that also redistributed the lands to their cronies.

According to the World Bank, "indigenous communities safeguard 80% of the world's remaining biodiversity and forests on their land are better maintained", and with less and less unoccupied land available, there are a lot of forces interested in displacing them.
