Given that there is sufficient capacity to route vehicle traffic to different paths, there is time to measure and plan: I would think people would look to a tunnel instead of a bridge in any rebuild of that route.

There is a tunnel further south in the Chesapeake Bay where there are navy/military facilities that cannot risk being blocked by falling bridges.

In my experience, legal is perfectly supportive assuming you're sane, reasonable and not a dick to them. They have expertise and constraints (ie: client contracts, bandwidth, etc.) that you are not aware of but that's different than being your enemy. If your attitude to them is that they're your enemy then they will be your enemy because why would they treat someone who is clearly antagonistic to them as a friend?
Ah yes, the cost of a high end item that technological change turned into a pure status signalling luxury item.

Housing and vehicles have certainly increased in cost. Housing is a policy failure, and vehicles are a mixed bag.

There are policy choices in vehicles (many required emissions and safety systems), and the reliability, performance and durability has changed dramatically. So the price is higher, but value hasn't stayed the same at all.
I don't think that's true. It's only true if freedom == freedom from obligation, which is a naive view of freedom. But if freedom == guarantees of rights, then Redict is more free. This is how freedoms actually work in practice: freedom of the press is guaranteed by restricting the government from censorship, workers rights are guaranteed by restricting the freedom of businesses to exploit them, etc. In practice all freedoms require someone to give something up. Even with permissive licenses, you are giving up the sole right to your IP and the sole to commercialize your software.

> Is it more secure to integrate all patches as fast as possible or is it more secure to wait a bit until it is being tested elsewehere.

That's a chicken/egg argument. Someone needs to be "elsewhere". Integration testing is absolutely part of security defense in depth architecture. In point of fact this was caught by running Debian testing. Delaying inclusion would have delayed discovery.
I have the same feeling. I often wonder about the difference between learning and reasoning, in neural networks. If we could train a small network on a small amount of code and it figures out how to write code that's as good as what GPT-4 can write, that's what I'd call reasoning (and that's what's currently a massive open research question).

On the other hand, it's definitely a lot easier to just show a gigantic model a gigantic amount of code until it becomes familiar with most types of applications a user would likely ask it about.

So it feels like right now we're papering over our lack of research success by (essentially) throwing money at the problem, and it seems to be working well enough. (At least, well enough to be useful to people.)

Wait, which country has that? It's a running joke here in Germany that every entry level developer job pays about as much as doing anything IT-related at the state/communal level.

Oh wait, maybe it's because it's IT and not servicing fax machines.

*disclaimer: FAANG levels of pay are relatively rare here, I'd say developers in general make less than 100k. For every civic-service position I have ever looked up randomly it's more like capped at 60-80k at the team lead/middle management level.

> In German, it is not and never was ambiguous

I’m not sure about that ”and never was”. Mathematicians used to have fairly loose definitions for all kinds of things and different fields sometimes have incompatible definitions for a term, so I think it’s not impossible “ganzzahlig” was used ambiguously for ℤ or ℕ (in- or excluding zero) for a while in some corners.

When was the phrase “natural number” even invented? The best I can find is https://jeff560.tripod.com/n.html (via https://mathoverflow.net/questions/379699/origin-of-phrase-n...) which says “Chuquet (1484) used the term progression naturelle for the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.”

There may well have been a time where “ganzzahlig” existed but “Natürliche Zahl” didn’t yet.

What does it mean and what should it prove?
Thats super hard as this is basically a very large pointcloud with oddly shaped points.

The objects represented in the point cloud have no inherent metadata embedded (ie its a chair, table, person etc) so any kind of interaction is super hard.

Its not impossible, but currently not practical.

More over its not that optimised for real-time rendering. Yes, a lot of points have been pruned, but its far more optimal to have lower resolution meshes
Then add the distance between 3D Web APIs and desktop 3D API and we're gold.

Also add WASM versus MSIL into the mix regarding runtime capabilities.
With all due respect I do not think that makes any sense.

You’re creating this metaphor with the government, but this isn’t the government.

In the end freedom is a spectrum and you are free to do more with MIT than LGPL.

Even if someone forked MIT and made it closed source that does not in any way stop or restrict those who prefer the project pre-fork.

Indeed, that is the very logic that has made Redict possible to begin with. This is the illustration of why MIT is maximally free.

Suppose the EU said code must be closed source, and you must distribute encrypted binaries. In this hypothetical it wouldn’t be possible to use Redict at all. This is another example of why the MIT, and permissiveness in general, is superior.

As an aside your freedom of the press example is yet another reason for permissiveness. The government isn’t permissive by default, which is why “freedom of the press” is even a thing.
Show HN: Anouncing Lumenpyx, a Pixel Art Renderer with Realistic Lighting
Hey HN, a couple of months ago I was looking to integrate a renderer with realistic pixel art lighting into my game engine. I couldn't find any Rust libraries that did this, so I started Lumenpyx. To do the lighting I gave each sprite an associated heightmap, we use this heightmap to trace lines between every pixel and the light source(s), to determine if it is illuminated.
Except, Luna 9 was soft landing attempt no. 12 - the point is the humans pulled it off on landing attempt no. 1.
Also because the 'safe' version only checks

dict->pos == dict->limit

and not

dict->pos >= dict->limit

if you can get one call of dict_put somewhere to pass the limit, all later calls of dict_put_safe will happily overwrite memory and not actually be safe.

That is the problem, it is not clear exactly what it is we are talking about with this campaign.

We have online DRM which I agree with is a bad thing.

But if you look at the FAQ they are also clearly talking about online servers for games.

So this is conflating 2 very distinct issues here.

Regarding the Crew, do we know for a fact that it is 100% installed on your hard drive? Or are we making assumptions.

Edit:

> We are not talking about MMOs.

There is literally a FAQ entry for MMO's.

Edit again:

Just realized that you are the one that posted it here. Assuming you are also the person that made the website, this is way too broad.

If we actually want to talk about online DRM than yeah, I stand behind it completely. it is stupid that I can't play Kingdom Hearts without being online.

But the moment that you start mixing that with actually online games that may require an online connection for the actual gameplay itself, than your argument completely falls apart.

Those are 2 very different issues and I would recommend not only making the home page clear on what exactly it is you are talking about (I should not have to go to the FAQ to understand your point) but also make sure that we are talking about a core issue of online DRM.

GaaS is not online DRM. I don't know of a single actual single player game that could be considered GaaS. The Crew doesn't even seem to fit this idea. Maybe it has a GaaS component, like Halo Infinite, but the single player part of Halo Infinite is not a GaaS.

So this entire thing is confusing because we are mixing 2 distinct problems and hoping for a single solution to both which is not realistic.
Most "individual betting shops" are a sales agent where the actual "book" is run through bet365/paddypower (at least the ones aboveboard in the UK).
Me neither, i even provided a source, and it's easy to find other examples. There certainly are projects that allow anonymous contributions, but i doubt it's the majority of projects that one would consider important.

For these kinds of projects you could make up an identity relatively easily and nobody would know, but you're screwing over the project (as they may need to remove your contributions if they find out), so it's not something to be doing if you actually want to contribute (instead of inserting backdoors).

The original idea (not being able to contribute without a verified identity) is still wrong, but it's wrong because it's impractical to prove identity in a way that people find acceptable (and works), not because people will not give up anonymity, as many of the replies state.
The context manager ones (__enter__ and __exit__) are really useful, especially if you're coming from something like Ruby where you're used to having blocks.

Blocks are what I miss most when moving to a Python project from Ruby, and context managers aren't some sort of replacement for them, but sometimes it is nice to construct your own context manager with custom setup/teardown logic.
I still think this is a long way off, but it definitely ties into UBI etc and improvement of the general human condition, taxing the rich, restricting investment on protected things like housing and public industries like water, electricity, healthcare and internet.

What's funny is that people on here & tech people in general seem to be the most averse to improving equity between all humans/stopping the obscenely rich from abusing and twisting the system. Do many HN peeps believe they're all somehow gonna become billionaires one day?

> the lzo to gzip/bzip2 range

bzip2 is a pig that has no place being in the same sentence as lzo and gzip. It's nieche was maximum compression no matter the speed but it hasn't been relevant even there for a long time.

Yet tools still need to support bzip2 because bzip2 archives are still out there and are still being produced. So we can't get rid of libbz2 anytime soon - same for liblzma.
Because it's true. Projects in Europe, especially big ones, often go over budget and are late. There are extremes like Berlin Brandenburg, but usually the price increase is in the order of 20-40%, which isn't too bad considering the complexity, and there's still good results in exchange. (E.g. Grand Paris Express will cost 50% more than originally planned (35 vs 22 billion euros), take a few years more, but it will result in 200km of all new fully automated, mostly underground, metro lines which will be amazing)

In comparison, in the US and Canada big projects are absurd. Take the Second Avenue Subway in New York - it's projected to cost $6 billion for 2.4km of track (no, that's not a typo, 2.4 km of track, really).

The California HSR is costing multiple times what similar projects in other countries cost (estimated to cost upwards of $100 billion, up from the original estimate of $40 billion for the first phase of 840 km; the Turin - Lyon high speed railway in more challenging terrain, including the longest rail tunnel in the world, is projected to cost around 25 billion euros for 270km, 1/4 of the price for 1/3 of the distance).

In fact there are lots of people and publications trying to understand why costs in US and Canada are so absurd compared to anywhere else in the world:

I don’t think a vocal minority under the sway of what it sounds like you’re describing as ill-intentioned propaganda (I mean, that’s a serious word but the shoe seems to fit) is a particularly good proxy for the overall preferences and welfare of everyone in the ecosystem.

To the extent that legitimate enthusiasts and early adopters and people trying to get the most out of their gear under resource constraints have a clear consensus, yeah, you want to be listening carefully. But that doesn’t really sound like what you’re describing. I hang out more on the “accelerated compute” parts of the “GPU Internet” than the “gaming” parts, but certainly over here in LocalLLaMA land, we want working, documented firmware, and cards that aren’t overkill on some things and weak AF on others (4090). That’s an effort to manipulate nosebleed margins by making the ostensible “prosumer/enthusiast” offering just kind of bad at everything (Quattro) except maybe CAD or Blender.

In gaming it seems like a cost-constrained public would be best served by credible offerings ranging from “the minimum to play modern stuff at a very attractive price” (I remember the 1060 being very well-received here), up to “Crysis at a million FPS” at Veblen, elaborate bespoke case, over clock with active cooling, and a sensible set of options along the way.

I don’t do enough gaming these days to have strong views, so please educate me if you’re an avid gamer and I’m full of shit, but both major gaming vendors seem to have good options for most budgets on mainstream platforms.

That’s just nothing to do with the 2T cap and 55.58% Net Profit Margins us llama.cpp folks are up in arms about.
Very good metaphor. I score similarly in Rainbow 6 Siege, an online FPS game. On the level I play, the game can be very fast paced. Often I score simply because I'm more patient, not because I click more accurately or faster.
How do you think about using it?

Because for me with Copilot, I think I can usually predict with 95% accuracy what it's going to output for me so I know that if I write "fun" (beginning of a function) in this context, it will immediately know based on all the context around it what will generate for me and that is what I'm looking for.

So my whole development is around it, that I can predict what it's going to complete, it just does it much faster with many lines at once, without the typos , index + 1 errors and other minor bugs I might do myself.

E.g. simple example, while usually things are more complicated, if I want a leftPad function, I would just write "function lef"... And mostly it is already able to know. While previously maybe I should've figured whether I should use an npm library where historically something went really wrong, etc. I'll just keep those helper fns in the codebase now.

But that's only a small example, it's able to handle non generic helper fns quite well too.

Like my muscle memory and expectations are around what Copilot can do or what I expect it to be able to do.
> Applications that write "incomplete lines"

Note that all of those three apps come from the Windows world where CRLF was indeed a line separator, and a file ending with CRLF was considered to have an empty line at the end.
