Here's what I'm doing for Micropolis (open source SimCity), where the rubber hits the road. There are a bunch of comments in the code describing the approach and constraints. (Obviously analyzed and written with the help of ChatGPT!)

Implementing a JavaScript scripting SDK is the first step towards integrating browser-based visual programming languages like Snap! and Blockly, which make it easy to program extensions, like Sandspiel Studio!

It's called dark patterns as GP mentioned. They're financially motivated to improve [Yes] clicks, so they just remove [No]. It's completely Web-legal and Web-ethical.

IMO, something should have been done when A/B tests became normal(mid to late 2000s). That ship had long long sailed, but I believe that alone require independent ethics board if it is happening outside the Web. It should not be something easily handled with a blanket waiver in shrinkwrap EULA.
Just FYI there's a new Tribes that just released and I've been enjoying it.
Show HN: Search HN for interesting comment sections
I built this tool to help me find interesting discussions on Hacker News. I love reading HN discussions almost more than the articles themselves. However, I found that full text search, although highly performant, is not always good at surfacing interesting discussions on a certain topic -- especially if you don't know what to search for exactly.

I built this by scraping the most recent ~6 million posts (that's about 2 years of history) and putting the resulting posts and their vector embeddings into Postgres.

Let me know what could be improved, and if you'd like a more detailed writeup of how this was built :)
Thanks, I'd set my browser to always switch to https
Or you could use Arch, and get the benefits of running the distribution that has both largest development team of all arch-based distributions, as well as the largest userbase.

The install might perhaps need a little more reading, and take a few more minutes, but the returns are well worth the investment.

Same argument applies for running Debian vs its million derivatives.
I got so used to the inverted-y that it's the first thing I change in the game setting as I just can't play on normal settings on any FPS. I wish that inverted-y was the default for all games. I don't know when I got used to the inverted y, perhaps while playing X-wing or maybe Quake.
It depends on the type of software of course.

But the chosen 'computer language' should be simple enough to allow reasonable real life alternative implementations. The current C syntax is usually the less worse compromise. C syntax is already too complex, and ISO should simplify it instead of provoking feature creep on a cycle of 5-10 years cycle (this is sneaky planned obsolesence).

Python syntax is supposed to be simple, but some parts seems horrible expensive (syntax integrated custom regexp).

C should be simplified: no integer promotion, no implicit cast (except for literals like rust, void*), only explicit static or dynamic casts (without that horrible c++ syntax), hard compiler constants, one loop keyword, no switch, no enum, only sized types, etc.

The migration path would use C standard version switch of compilers.
Please, add a [USA] or [Florida] tag to the title, thanks!
Pub/sub systems in unicast-only environments are very complex distributed systems to handle the load involved in fan-out routing while maintaining a global order. I had an interviewer once get annoyed with me for suggesting using multicast to solve the fan-out part of a pub/sub system, which made the global ordering part small and simple.

We lost a lot by thinking of HTTP as the one true level of network abstraction.
The should is the problem. I've not looked into this in a couple years but I've read plenty of stories of people getting some weird stuff, down to just 1 ipv6
It's provable that it's not fair. AWS multicast is software based, not hardware based.
Cloud of rapidly expanding ionized gasses, yeah.
Washing rice helps make it more sticky for sushi rice but would give different results depending on the method; how much you washed it and if you let it soak before cooking. Washing and soaking is NOT necessary if you just want quick, easy rice.

But for sushi rice, I rinse rice out in a large bowl at least 8-10 times until the water starts running clear, then let it sit in water for 15 minutes before draining, adding it to the pot, add the water to one knuckle. I don’t use a cooker, just a regular pot with nonstick spray.
The downside is its so expensive it might as well be made out of solid gold...
I know of an employer at which one of the finance people had embezzled about 50K over the course of one or two years (from their employer). And at the same time they also embezzled 5K from the community sports league for which they did volunteer accounting/finance stuff.

They ended up being arrested and convicted for stealing from the sports league, and they went to jail for a few months but they had some arrangement where they could leave every weekday morning to go to work and then return to jail in the evening.

Their arrest and conviction was well known by and within their employer (from which they were known to have embezzled the 50K) since they needed to request leave to show up to court and also because the local papers covered it extensively due to it impacting the sports league.

They were not fired, presumably because their employer did not want to run the risk of tarnishing its sterling reputation of properly managing its finances.

Tinkering with Autoexec.bat and Config.sys to squeeze some more Kbs was a challenge, and you learnt a lot about the SO doing that.

I still wonder how we managed to do that just by reading books or manuals and sharing info with friends.
It's possible that had the Germans forced a surrender or armistice upon Britain, that the US never gets involved. Domestic sentiment against US involvement was pretty strong and took all of FDR's political skills to overcome for Lend Lease etc.

I'm not sure that Britain could fall though, especially with Lend Lease. The Luftwaffe, while able to initiate the BoB, had surprising losses in the invasion of France, Poland and the Low Countries. Given how the Luftwaffe rarely rotated pilots out of combat squadrons to train new pilots, these losses were difficult to replace, and probably were one of the reasons for the success of the RAF. Also, none of the German fighters really had enough range to escort their bombers over the UK. And the RN was a huge impediment to any invasion of Britain that I doubt could be overcome.
It's history.

Long ago people believed the Sun revolved around the Earth.

If someone today writes a history of those times, you are supposed to understand that the author doesn't actually believe the Sun revolves around the Earth, but that they are writing a history of that time period.
Recursive retrieval, although this is too early to say, is trying to solve for the smaller chunk sized documents. I still understand that the need for semantic map will persist.

I think that’s a cube about 8 inches (~19cm) per side.

The pictures in the article show them as being shaped like machine parts.
This is a weird article / statement. RICE, afaik (former doctor here), was never about prolonged use for healing. The intent is to mitigate the harms of the initial excessive inflammation/swelling response (which threatens to compromise tissue at the peak of the injury event), by dampening this response via cooling / constriction of blood vessels.

But, absolutely, after this has settled a bit, you're supposed to apply warmth, not heat, to encourage increased perfusion to the area and promote healing.

So, apples/oranges. There's nothing in the statement above to say that RICE is contraindicated as an initial management, and the implication that RICE was meant to be applied past initial management simply isn't true in the first place (afaik).

I could be wrong as to how others used it, however. I wouldn't put it past a hospital to mindlessly make it a protocol that would then be followed blindly, I guess...

I have horrible tinnitus that sounds like a goblin screaming in both ears. This is how I keep from blowing my brains out, I hope it helps someone:

> For example with license plates. You know the possible letters and how they appear when "blurred" so you can zoom-enhance them.

And even STILL, you can't be SURE.

Let's imagine some license-plate system optimized to give the biggest hamming distance for visual recognision (for example, no O and o in, only one of them, and no i and 1, only one of them, and so on) to make it as good as possible.

Now, you take some blurry picture of a license-plate and ask the ai to figure out which it is, well, one of the symbols are beyond the threshold of what can be determined, and the ai applies whatever it's learned to conclude (correctly) that the only allowed symbol is X.. Now, thing is, the license-plate was a fake, and the unrecoverable symbol didn't conform to the rules of, it was actually a 1 printed there, but the AI tells it's an 'I' since that's the only allowed symbol.. It just made up stuff that was plausible..

You cannot extract what's not there. You can guess, you can come up with things that _COULD_ be there, but it makes no difference, it's not there.. It's the same with colorized vintage videos, we can argue that it'd not be wrong to assume this jacket was brown since we have lots of data on that model, but we _CAN_NOT_ know if that particular jacket was indeed, brown, it might have been any other color that made the same impression on the monochrome film. The information is _GONE_.

This seems to the most likely, and it's not unheard of, they have 'local regions' like osaka in Japan.

Maybe it differs on why you get motion sickness? Is it because the screens lag behind your movement with x millisecons or is it becase the eyes detect movement but the balance does not? Or a combination?

I'm guessing it's easier to get used to the motion/display lag than the balance sence issues.

The part that's not clear to me is how. The value I see in AMDs participation is opening up the CUDA walled garden. This is different than what's good for TW. They would be better off with an AMD/TW walled garden that they can provide service for at better prices. But better prices alone won't be enough to get companies to move from the largest/only walled garden to a new/smaller one.

The best I could see is developing a service platform that frictionlessly and more efficiently runs CUDA workloads on AMD using a proprietary translation. Not a bad bet, IMO.
Yes, it's a different term and entirely separate category of drugs.

Checkpoint inhibitors cut the brakes. This reduces their ability to detect "self," and attack blindly.

What they don't do is poke immune cells with a stick to anger them like chemoattractants and cytokines. This approach can be used to signal, "hey, the tumor is over here." Causing them to attack more intelligently.

If you would like to learn more, I would recommend the books: (a) molecular biology of cancer; mechanisms, targets, and therapeutics, and (b) handbook of therapeutic biomarkers in cancer.
Thanks! It seems that after your own research that your statement of "at most 10 years for batteries" should really be "at most 20(+?) years"? To be conservative, perhaps 16 years, but still, that's a 60% delta. Also, interesting that in [5], it says estimated LFP battery life went from 10 years in a 2020 analysis to 16 years in the 2022 report.

>Quite the opposite, thanks to the tough competition the market makers are setting the bid/asks spreads as minimal as possible. Which leads to less costs for human investors, pension funds, insurance companies etc.

It's not automatically the case that the disappeared margins & thinning of bid/asks have been shared equitably between the trading firms and customers.

Take two exaggerated markets for example:

1) No HFTs: The customer wants 100 shares in Company A. The shares are available on two exchanges, one at $100, and another at $105. A market maker charges the customer $5 to access the 100 shares at $1 each. The customer pays $105. The market maker earns $5.

2) With HFTs: The customer wants 100 shares in Company A. The shares are available on two exchanges, one at $100, and another at $105. The customer clicks "buy" on their trading platform, the HFT races to the $100 shares, and purchases them, then fulfills the order at $105. The customer pays $105. The HFT firm earns $5.

For the end-customer, all that's happened is the margin goes to another firm. The consumer still has no other choice but to accept these transaction fees. There was arguably a need for HFTs to reduce the market-makers exorbitant fees in the 2000's, but that requirement has been served, and the technology now exists to remove both from the market entirely.

HFTs are a rent-seeking entity interjecting in a market which, at least in theory, exists to most efficiently allocate capital to the productive benefit of all.
Me too!

The first game I played with mouse support in the 90s, I believe, was Flight Simulator 3.0, and I think by default (?) it was set up for inverted mouse (or was MS-DOS Star Wars: TIE Fighter, can't remember).

Since then, when I started playing other FPS games with mouse support (like Quake and similar), this mode prevailed.

However, the biggest challenge came years later with FPS games for smartphones - retraining my mind to play with non-inverted orientation. Quite an adventure!

I mean we do it all the time.

The US government has nuclear submarines so no one knows where they are in the world.

We hide things all the time to keep them from others.

This is a practice that practically everyone does.
Though the terminology is incorrect (a model by itself cannot 'perform' word other than encode/decode, the llm agents are developed to do what you're stating.

Huh? So macOS stores two different settings for the same ID and then assigns them randomly? That seems very odd.
The reason latinum was so valuable is because it couldn't be made in a replicator for hand wavey reasons. Gold could be and therefore its value became the energy cost to produce it in a replicator, the same as anything else really. Latinum was a scarce material in an otherwise post scarcity society.

Yes, for big parts where they know it will come down to the surface they try to aim for water, like they do with all the rocket boosters etc.
However that's still risky, so given the choice between (fast descent and aim for ocean) and (slow descent to burn up in atmosphere) they almost always aim for the latter.
Plus you can only "aim" something like a rocket booster or a satellite that can still generate a little thrust of its own. This case was more like throwing your heavy backpack from the top of a skyscraper – 3 years ago(!!). That's impossible to control.

Even if it's a glorified autocomplete, it suits this use case perfectly. It's far better than trying to read poorly written man pages directly. It can digest documentation and parse it into natural language.

Most of these pipes / scripts are for one off jobs here and there, and there's no reason to memorize every random parameter across a bunch of them.
