Open sourcing the SpiceDB Playground: model authz in-browser, powered by WASM
Hi HN, I'm happy to announce the open sourcing of the SpiceDB Playground [1], our in-browser playground for developing and testing authorization systems for SpiceDB, our open source implementation of Google Zanzibar.

In a previous HN post [2], we discussed how we moved the playground to use WASM for running SpiceDB, massively improving performance. Today, we're happy to open source the frontend side of the playground, so that everyone can see how it works and make improvements!

Next I suppose you'll be proposing that all these random crashes and ransomware attacks are because of some stealth RCE in some low-level library that's used by 80% of the opensource ecosystem?

Sheeple!

In case my sarcasm is too subtle...

The root cause of these issues is not known. There's some obvious value to having an undisclosed attack against "enemy agents" that's difficult to detect but that disables a very difficult to replace resource of "the enemy"

There's every reason to believe that, for instance, if polonium vlad had access to such a tool he'd use it as much as possible.

There's no concrete evidence of such a tool besides lots of incapacitated public servants / deep-state-bureaucrats (depending on your perspective?).
It didn't make any sense to me either. I found this article[1] which frames it a little more clearly: it's not that they thought graphite and lead were the exact same thing, it's that they thought graphite was just a particular type of lead that was useful for drawing when first discovered.

I'm a mid-level software engineer who has spent the last year or so doing full-stack web development with Google Maps APIs and the 3 years before that doing C systems programming on a compiler/database at a startup. I'm also a Google Cloud certified Associate Cloud Engineer. I'm always looking to broaden my skillset and learn new technologies.

My preference is for full time work but I'm open to part time or freelance/consulting work as well. I'm also open to working with technologies I haven't worked with before.

But the literal end of the (land centric) Earth isn't a backwater. It is a microcosm of many of the most dramatic natural features of the world bundled together. Fiords, alps, rain forest, mountain forest, geothermal region, volcanic region, glaciers, wetlands, limestone caves, mountain forests, pastoral landscapes, river valleys, lakes, beaches, and general coastal regions. Cliffs giving up massive crystal geodes that break open as they litter a beach - surreal, like out of a Star Trek episode of some alien planet.

> Does math have many prerequisites? [...] handful of operations and a handful of generalized objects (sets, variables, etc)

This handful of MATH is precisely what I was referring to as the prerequisites: notation, numbers, sets, equations (and the general procedure for solving them), functions, and a bit of geometry. I agree that with these concepts in place, you can tackle A LOT of topics, possibly filling in other knowledge in a just-in-time manner. This is what I find very fascinating (and a big part of my startup's mission): the fact that (re)learning a handful of math topics opens so many doors, that currently a vast number of adults are keeping firmly shut because they believe they are not "math people."

* Sorry for the confusion: there is a typo in my comment, I meant to write my book is on MECH+CALC, and the prerequisite are the handful of MATH topics you listed.

It doesn't matter. The people with the private key already knew all of this because they implemented it. The script kiddies without the private key can't do anything without it. A POC doesn't help them in any way.

As tools for writing, normal styluses and lead rods, which were both used in Roman times, are distinct.

A "stilus" (the modern spelling of the words "stylus" and "style" is a mistake, which was frequent when Latin words had been assumed to be Greek words with Modern Greek pronunciation) was a metal rod that was used to write on wax tablets. The Romans called it either "stilus" or "graphium", the latter form being directly borrowed from Greek. The Latin words "stilus" and "tabella" were used to translate the Greek words "graphion" and "deltos". The Greeks have learned to use wax tablets from the Phoenicians ("deltos" is a Semitic word) and the Romans have learned to use them from the Greeks.

The wax tablets were the main method for writing texts that could be erased later.

Besides such metal styluses that were used for writing by pressing soft materials, there existed a second kind of styluses, made of true lead metal.

This second kind, which was much less common, is based on using a soft metal and a slightly abrasive tablet surface. Drawing with such a soft metal stylus leaves a trace of metal, exactly like drawing with a graphite pencil. For instance Pliny the Elder mentions such cases of using true lead rods for drawing, e.g. for drawing fine lines on a surface to guide the writing with ink on it, like the printed lines in some modern notebooks.

Suitable soft metals are lead, silver, gold and platinum, but lead has always been many orders of magnitude cheaper than the others, so it has been frequently used for this purpose before the discovery of graphite.

Graphite is softer than any of these metals, so it leaves much more visible traces, even without using a great pressure during writing. The metal styluses leave much finer traces than graphite, so they are less suitable for writing a text with good visibility, but they allow better control for fine details in drawings.

While after graphite began to be used for pencils it immediately replaced most uses of soft metal styluses, the latter have remained popular until today for certain kinds of artistic drawings, the so-called metal-point drawings.

The most popular metal for artistic drawings is silver, because it is much cheaper than gold or platinum, while producing higher-quality drawings than lead , graphite or charcoal.

There are many such silverpoint drawings that are very beautiful.

But that's not helpful for this. A higher rate of cancer in a population says nothing about the particular individual and whether or not they have cancer. This is a test to show if they are showing early signs of cancer, not the odds they will have it in the future.

Untreated bowel inflammation also increases your risk of cancer significantly. If cancer risk is on the table either way, might as well take the drugs that increase your quality of life in the meantime :)

Allegedly, consciousness is what powers these forum discussions, and these forum discussions are filled with numerous implicit supernatural claims, one of them being omniscience. It's an interesting phenomenon in various ways, one of them being that it can be explained away as unimportant in fact, even if that cannot technically be known to be true (demonstrating that facts do not always need to be factual), and it is funny because the conversations occur within a programming forum (the irony of it is funny).

Maybe. But I’d argue it’s more likely that people run out of energy. Or I’d rather save my energy for my personal time. PMs win unless you’re in an engineer-first company. If the hierarchy is structured to favor decisions made by those who can barely operate a microwave, why put the energy into “pushing back”?

Yes. On a physical typewriter, the shift was raising the whole typing carriage to get to the lower part of the striker (I don’t know the right vocabulary) to hit the ribbon. It was heavy. So to do several in a row, a shift lock was provided. Because of how it worked physically, it was indeed shift lock rather than caps lock.

I guess someone decided “why not ‘shift lock’ just for letters?”
Probing for vulnerable deployments over the network (without the attacker's private key) seems impossible, not non-trivial.

The best one could do is more micro-benchmarking, but for an arbitrary Internet host you aren't going to know whether it's slow because it's vulnerable, or because it's far away, or because the computer's slow in general -- you don't have access to how long connection attempts to that host took historically. (And of course, there are also routing fluctuations.)

I understand the point they're making but it's wrong: a computer doesn't have to be universal, to be a computer, neither does having a fixed program, like the Antikythera mechanism, disqualify a device from being a computer. In the same sense, Turing Machines are not necessarily universal; Universal Turing Machines are. But there's no official or formal definition of what a "computer" is and the category is less crisp than the author is trying to make it.

In the same way drawing a line between programmable and fixed-program computer is arbitrary and in fact the author spends much of the article dismissing Babbage's Analytical engine, which was a programmable computer, on the grounds it wasn't actually built; which is, of course, irrelevant, because a physical machine is not necessary for complete computation, as demonstrated by Ada Lovelace.

In any case, the early days of modern computing (1930's- 1940's) were replete with a plethora of computing machinery of various architectures many of which were called "computers", without them being necessarily programmable computers; for example, the "Atanassoff-Berry Computer" [1].

As I understand it, this book is generally polemical and caters more to activism than disinterested truth-seeking. A book taking an opinionated position on a big topic is totally forgivable and above board for a non-fiction books, however when I see that it is the primary reference for so many different ideas, I get concerned that too much is taken for granted. I see enough objections, especially on its treatment of history, to this book whenever it is mentioned for me to approach it with a good deal of skepticism.

I haven't even read it, so I have to reserve judgement. It does appear to be very influential, so it is high on my political reading list whether I like it or not.

All of this is said to build context for what I'd really like to ask: what were your expectations when your read People's History of the United States? Did you have similar reservations?

As a self-described disillusioned centrist, I have to raise my eyebrow when I see that so much political prescription appears to be based on this singular book that generally appears to be an other-side-of-history opinion piece.
Apple Says iPhone 6 Plus Now 'Obsolete' and iPad Mini 4 Now 'Vintage'
Seems like a good release.
I watched their video, and some charts were a bit unclear, as in, I didn't know if they were comparing with the previous Bun version or Node.js.

My experience with using Bun in side projects has been good. The built-in APIs work well in my experience, and I hope popular runtimes adopt at least a subset of them. The hashing and the SQLite bindings come to mind as APIs that I wish were available in Deno and Node.js as well.

They collect some telemetry by default. I don't think the install script tells you that. The only mention of it that I've found is in the Bunfile documentation: https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/bunfig#telemetry

I'd prefer if it was opt-in, and that users were given instructions for disabling it if they want to during installation.

They offer an option to create a dependency-free executable for your project, which bundles the runtime with your .js entrypoint. That works great if you want a single binary to distribute to users, but at the moment, the file size is still pretty big (above 90MB on GNU/Linux for a small project). Not terrible, but nothing comparable to Go or QuickJS yet. I wonder if in the future, Bun would offer an option to compile itself with certain features disabled, so we'd get a smaller binary.

I have been playing with using Bun as a Haxe target. It works pretty well and IMO it's a choice to consider if you like Haxe more than TypeScript, or if you want to add a web server to an existing Haxe project without adding another programming language. You can also to do things like generating validation code at compile time, which seems hard to do with just TypeScript.
