PinballFX is video game pinball. VisualPinballX is more of a simulation. Of course the simulation isn't 100% accurate, but it's shockingly close. Medieval Madness was one of my favorite games on virtual (I had never played the physical version), and the first time I played the physical one I got two replays in a row. It translates pretty well.

I built a virtual pinball, which led to me buying 4 physical pinballs, and now I'm in the final stages of remaking my virtual pinball to add to my little arcade. With all of the exciters, solenoids, and LED lights, it feels surprisingly physical. You can even nudge.

It's a tradeoff of realism for variety, and I think there are valid arguments for either.

Tenzir | Remote - EU | open-core | Full-time | https://tenzir.com

Tenzir is hiring several key engineering roles to meet the needs in expanding the team. Our product: security data pipelines. From the data side, think of it as an Arrow-native, multi-schema ETL tool that offers optional storage in Parquet/Feather. From the security perspective, think of it as a solution for collecting, parsing, transforming, aggregating, and routing data. We typically sit between the data sources (endpoint, network, cloud) and sinks (SIEM, data lake).

Our open-source execution engine is C++20, our platform is SvelteKit and TypeScript. Experience with data-first frontend apps is a great plus. Open positions at https://tenzir.jobs.personio.de:

- Senior C++ Engineer
- (SecOps) Solution Engineer

We are based out of Hamburg, Germany, and hire across EU time zones, stretching all the way to India.
Just ask Adam Neumann.
Are you hiring for other roles? I see "Core Engineering" that would seem up my ally.
SuperCard DSTwo. I remember it being described as having the power of a PSP inside (unsure if true), and it could do GBA and SNES emulation. It heavily impacted battery life, making it less popular in later years, though. Plus we've recently gained the ability to use the native GBA compatibility in the DS via DS flashcarts (or DSi/3DS homebrew) running TwiLightMenu, so now the $5 R4 clones on aliexpress can allow you to play GBA decently on a DS Lite.

Also, a new DS flashcart just came out, from the same makers of the popular EZ-Flash Junior for GB(C) and EZ-Flash Omega for GBA. It's called the Parallel. It costs considerably more than other DS flash carts, but is still cheaper than flashcarts for GBA or anything older (NES, SNES, and N64 flashcarts are insanely expensive).

MachoNachoProductions on YouTube has a video on the Parallel.
Does this ytmnd predate the movie 'safety not guaranteed'?
While I agree with your message, it needs more nuance. Second order effects exist: most open models have been boosted with data generated by closed SOTA models. GPT-4 has been the teacher of a whole generation of AI models, closed as it is, and even if OpenAI officially opposed this practice.
Looks like a great development.

One thing I miss in Node.js is ability to run a HTTPS -server in a simple way without having to muddle with generating & installing a correct type of certificate. I understand there can be a "self-signed certificate" but there doesn't seem to be any npm-module I could install to take care of that.

Since Bun is a "server-side" JavaScript platform it would be great if it could support https out of the box too.

If you are using a library with this kind of number representation, computing any rational number with a repeating decimal representation will use up all your memory. 1/3=0.33333… It will keep allocating memory to store infinite copies of the digit 3. (In practice it stores it using binary representation but you get the idea.)

Jia Tan could mean literally anything as pinyin since it doesn't have diacritics for tone. 嘉坛 (Jiā tán) could be a totally plausible name, and so could 佳檀 (also Jiā tán). Chinese names can largely use any character that doesn't come with a really bad meaning
They did make the API public and it was often used for skill distillation by input-output pairs. So they grudgingly contributed to the advancement of open models.
I was stabbed with a pencil in the arm in 4th grade, tip broke off. Had the little gray-blue dot in my arm for years. I could feel it if I poked at it, which I eventually stopped doing. I'd check it, or show it to someone every once in awhile. Sometime in 40s, I went to check it and it had disappeared.

It sounds the same vibes with Larry Ellison privately owned the Lanai island and push out locals. It seems billionaires prefers to built a gated community.

There is a limit on raising the price of ski resorts. Because it will easily exceeds the cost of flying to Japan which has a better snow anyway.

In the long term, ski/snowboard culture in US will die because there is no newcomers. A complete beginner never tries it if it costs a 10K USD to experience just one day.
One thing I didn't see mentioned is that it directly violates the data minimization principle, they collected data they should not have needed and they kept it around way longer than needed.

Yes, they should have updated their config, but why did you need a resume full of private info to join, and why did you not delete it after the membership is approved (let alone keeping it for decades).
RAGFlow will support more LLMs, including locally deployed LLMs.
> If you really have so many repos it sounds annoying that there isn't room for team level experimentation.

For what it's worth, I'll say that I can understand such top down governance: you'd have an easier time around moving across projects that you work on within the org, there'd be less risk of a low bus factor, BOM and documentation/onboarding might become easier.

Same as how there are Java or .NET shops out there, that might also focus on a particular runtime (e.g. JDK vendor) or tooling (an IDE, or a particular CI solution, even if it's Jenkins).

On the other hand, if the whole org would use MySQL but you'd have a use case for which PostgreSQL might be a better fit, or vice versa, it'd kind of suck to be in that particular situation.

It's probably the same story for Node/Deno/Bun, React/Vue/Angular or anything else out there.

No reason why that mandated option couldn't eventually be Bun, though, for better or worse.
I found Bun to be faster. Monorepo support is a bit kludgy though. Once you know of the workarounds, it's ok. See my comment on https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/5413#issuecomment-1956...

AFAIK, Pnpm monorepos do not follow standard npm. Bun does follow standard npm monorepos.

Pnpm's feature to override dependency versions is nice for legacy projects with many 3rd party dependencies. Not sure if Bun has the same feature. I mostly use it on greenfield projects with dependencies that I control.
Curious how do you actually see this working. Care to elaborate?
As a former Dr of Mopping, how dare Jon elevate that profession so highly. It's truly a shitty job.

Github doesn't pitch it as well as the videos he's uploaded on Youtube. They add dual encoders to cheap commodity hobby servos to allow for excellent backlash compensation.

One thing I really dislike about hosted models is how opaque that behavior is. As a user I should never be guessing if they've reduced a model's capabilities to save on compute for example.

This is why I'm excited for the growth of local model capabilities. I can much more reasonably expect that the model has not degraded and that it is using the full hardware capabilities it has been granted.
To be honest, RAGFlow already supports this but has not documented this local deployment process yet, as we are still working on simplifying this process, and will release this feature soon. Please keep tuned!
Thanks, i was wondering about this since day 0 and was too lazy to look it up. Yes it can be spoofed, but I imagine a good chunk of day-to-day is work is semi-interactive, which would make it preferable to have the attacker be in the same tz as the victims. Anyone know what tz Lasse was at? If not (eg he’s in the US), then I’d say Occam’s razor that the attacker is working those UTC 10-18 office hours without extra steps. Tz proves nothing and for a 3y low-intensity operation I’d just assume the attacker won’t introduce that much friction only to mislead. I’m sure there are much stronger signals in the investigation work that’s going on now. Unfortunately, given the hush-hush-by-default nature of our beloved intel agencies, we’ll probably never know.
Heh Heh Heh

"It seemed like a good idea at the time" is a pretty common story though. ;)
I was an air fryer skeptic for a long time, before eventually my toaster oven broke and I replaced it with one that had air-frying built in.

Yes, it is just a convection oven - that was my response for years when people waxed poetic about how great air fryers are. The difference is that it's a tiny convection oven that heats very quickly, as opposed to a full convection oven which takes much more time.

So no, not a hoax. They work pretty good.
> Again, some people are starting to write like it. It’s gonna happen.

Interesting point you touched here. Let's do the math for OpenAI: 100M users, with 10k tokens/user/month, that means 1 trillion tokens/month are read by people. That has got to influence speech and circulate information faster between all fields.
Beyond horrible. Beyond even dystopian films. Look at the evil mega corps and governments have shown with regards to privacy and freedoms. They've been eating away at it for years, one bite at a time, not too much to cause a revolt. Are we to depend upon the good intentions of mega corp owners and politicians to wield AGI exclusively and for the benefit of society when that same AGI will render any form of public organized protest impossible.
I've built my own GELLO setup (the setup the author based it's arm on) and it's quite neat, but as I only use it for teleoperation of an real arm, I wonder how useful this low cost arm really is? Considering limited range, probably backlash, and the limited torque

Also it doesn't seems to use springs like GELLO which was a nice add, although the 3D printed parts where the spring was mounted broke quickly.

> anarcho capitalism, in which a single entity wins because returns to capital accelerate. This single entity can then do whatever it likes.

You could have a natural monopoly form in anarcho-capitalism but unless they also grabbed a monopoly on the use of force and barred competition (basically became the state) then if they did abuse their monopoly position they would inevitably have competition arise even if it was required to route around whatever their monopoly was.
That is tempting, and I've dome similar things earlier.

But I don't want to do that. Why because: It is not a good practice to modify JavaScript built-in prototypes. If that was the recommended practice then someone else's code might do a similar thing, but assign some other function to it. Whoever writes it last overrides any previous definition.
> But I also reminded that this doesn't actually matter because you WERE also given emergency recovery passwords, and told to keep them, and told why, and how important they were.

Ah yes those… the codes I must go to a public library to print, on a public computer, public network and public printer. I can't really see any problem with the security of this.

And then I must never forget where I put that very important piece of paper. Not in 10 years and after moving 3 times…
> 2 Kings 5:27 explaining the existence of a group ancestrally white as snow as a curse

That’s a pretty strained reading of that text. The curse wasn’t being white, as in Caucasian, but as in covered in leprous sores. 2 Kings 5:27 reads,

> “Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever." So he went out from his presence a leper, like snow.

Compare that description to Leviticus 13:9-11:

> When a man is afflicted with a leprous disease, he shall be brought to the priest, and the priest shall look. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling, it is a chronic leprous disease in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean.

I'd argue that if you are really interested, you can follow a few academics and read up on their papers etc. Of course, that's a big undertaking but it's the only alternative I can think of given the incentives for pushing shit at us

I found that writing new property based tests was a skill I picked up relatively quickly. But learning how to retro-fit existing tests was a whole 'nother skill that I had to learn almost independently afterwards.
I think that's the use-case for the rust_decimal crate, which is a 96-bit floating number (~28 decimal digits) which is safer and faster than the bigdecimal crate (which at its heart is a Vec<u64>, unbounded, and geared more for things like calculating sqrt(2) to 10000 places, that kind of thing). Still, people are using it for serialization, and I try to oblige.

Having user-set generic limits would be cool, and something I considered when const generics came out, but there's a lot more work to do on the basics, and I'm worried about making the interface too complicated. (And I don't want to reimplement everything.) D

I also would like a customizable parser struct, with things like localization, allowing grouping-delimiters and such (1_000_000 or 1'000'000 or 10,00,000). That could also return some kind of OutOfRange parsing error to disallow "suspicious" values, out of range. I'm not sure how that to make that generic with the serde parser, but I may some safe limits to the auto serialization code.

Especially with JSON, I'd expect there's only two kinds of numbers: normal "human" numbers, and exploit attempts.

I'm a Frontend Engineer with 6 years of commercial experience.

A showcase is worth more than a thousand words, so here is what I've been working on for the past month: https://docs.exile.watch/projects/hideout
They are a form of marketing.
Surely a well meaning joke that I missed :)
They are actually super helpful, if you can figure out how to reach a human.
Also a lot of devs who think if they can't see how to exploit something, nobody else will be able to. Honestly, the arguments I've had with people claiming that their SQL injection isn't a problem ("it's in the middle of a clause" was a good one).
Which seems even worse for the security industry. They had these tools, didn't understand the warnings so ignored them and pushed the things upstream anyway.

It wasn't just that they were beat fair and square on equal terms -- they had opportunity before the packages got into their distro-upstream, and they (allegedly) are the ones who look for and audit security issues, the database guy found it by observing some peripheral performance issue it caused, and pursued and tracked down the problem. A stark contrast to the uncurious attitude of the security theater that was supposed to be actively looking for these things and examining warnings from tools.
That’s why the title has a question mark. The book lays out what he means by tidying (structural changes, not behavioral changes) and factors to consider on when or even whether to tidy.
Article says:

- There’s roughly five times faster air movement through an air fryer compared to a convection oven.

- Besides the wind, and the crisping tray, it’s really more of an optimized convection oven than a new technology.

The article doesn't say that air fryers don't exist or don't work; just that it's not a new cooking technique.

It certainly isn't frying.
> - The built-in web server is sufficient for small projects and avoids the need to pull in various dependencies.

ElysiaJS is a good library when you do need a bit more with the routing + middleware. It has great benchmarks as well.
They made it harder to reach humans recently.

Maybe I am ignorant in thinking that by now everyone knows that they are just pump and dump operators. Even without financial implications lot of their blogs appear clueless about technology. They seem to target folks who may find Gartner quadrants too advanced.
Hmm, interesting, thanks for sharing! Their open engineering positions are a bit old-fashioned, but nothing too bad. And their ask for "Experience with the justice system, social safety net, or other mission relevant experience" really speaks to me. I'd be very interested in applying if I didn't have a commitment to my current employer. I will have to keep them in mind for the future. Thank you for the tip!

It would be nice to have an overlay on your phone that displays the options of what you can press. I’ve always wanted to skip having to listen to the recorded message drone on and on before mentioning which number to press for something.

Does anyone know if such an app already exists?
Is it ready for use? Looks like you are only teasing it
Maybe I'm unneccesarily inferring parentheses from the quotation marks, like:

but they (tell don't show, show don't tell).

It reads differently without them.
No, I wrote my service some time ago (basically GitHub Webhook which does some crypto to validate payload and invokes kubectl) using Deno API and few months ago I took some time to update dependencies but found out that with new standard library version some APIs are either deprecated or removed, I don't really remember, but I felt the need to rewrite it.

Don't take it as a criticism, I totally understand that you need to iterate on API and nobody promised me that it'd be stable till the end of time, but still work is work.
Stop trusting google. It's that simple.
Extremely Western biased, at least last time I visited several months ago. You’d get the sense that Ukraine is absolutely winning the war and kicking Russia’s ass from what I saw on there only to realize there’s much, much more to the story.
I never understood why one would subject themselves to bootstrap a system using this method instead of simply cross compiling?
This whole thing has been consuming me over the whole weekend. The mechanisms are interesting and a collection of great obfuscations, the social engineering is a story that’s shamefully all too familiar for open source maintainers.

I find most interesting how they chose their attack vector of using BAD test data, it makes the rest of the steps incredibly easier when you have a good archive, manipulate it in a structured method (this should show on a graph of the binary pattern btw for future reference) then use it for a fuzzy bad data test. It’s great.

The rest of the techniques are banal enough except the most brilliant move seems to be that they could add “patches” or even whole new back doors using the same pattern on a different test file. Without being noticed.

Really really interesting, GitHub shouldn’t have hidden and removed the repo though. It’s not helpful at all to work through this whole drama.

Edit: I don’t mean to say this is banal in any way, but once the payload was decided and achieved through a super clever idea, the rest was just great obfuscation.
The "free" in VUCK doesn't stand for free as in freedom, or even free as in beer. Free University is a weird translation of the name of a specific institution - the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Tanenbaum was a professor there, giving classes on operating systems. So I'd say it should rather be called the VU Compiler Kit.
