I guess support for XML would be tricky, because XML is just way more complex format than the ones already supported. It is still essentially a tree, but with additional structure.

Representing elements and their contents is easy enough. But attributes, comments, processing instructions, entities... And remember, an XML document can include a DTD (it does not have to be in a separate file).

I was responding to the One of the Sentry inconvenience is self-hosting: it relies on so many services it can be very complicated to maintain part, and also reminding readers that if they, too, hate companies that rug-pull their open source licenses, there is a band-aid for both parts

Compare https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/9.1.2/docker-c... with https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/24.4.2/docker-... for what life used to be like for running Sentry on-prem. It was awesome

It would take a ton of work to dig up the actual memory and CPU requirements of each one, but rest assured they're not zero, so every one of those services eats ram and requires TLC when, not if, they shit themselves. So, more parts == more headaches with all other things being equal

Then, I deeply appreciate that there are a whole spectrum of reactions to the various licensing schemes in use nowadays, and a bunch of folks don't care. I care, though, because I have gotten immense value from open source projects, and have contributed changes back to quite a few. It has been my life experience that many of those "source available" licenses usually are very hostile toward making local real builds and if I can't build it to match how prod goes, then I can't test my fixes in my environment and then I can't contribute the PR with any faith

Holy shit. I think we should keep people alive as long as possible, as long as they want to be kept alive. This is awesome. Hopefully in future the cost can be decreased and the safety increased. The pessimistic take is that meaningful improvements in the tech are impossible. I think that's not true.

As an aside I think we need to really rethink circulatory system health -- seems a lot of death causes arise from circulatory system: ischemic heart attack, stroke, even kidney related diseases. If we can enhance the reliability / health of circulatory system it should have big effects.

I think that also sounds pretty scary. Seeing the state of drivers in the UK, without knowing what they’re under the influence of, if anything, it’s a pretty damning sight.

There is probably some form of bias here, as I don’t remember all of the good drivers, but not a day goes by where I don’t see drivers wandering into other lanes, performing dangerous undertakes, lane changes, or generally being terrible drivers, and you have to wonder why.

A lot of phone drivers, for sure, a lot of ignorant pricks too, but I’d bet on a lot of inebriated drivers given their conduct.

Example of a shocker I had today, I was turning right out of a resi street, a car with no indication stopped to let me out on my right, but it wasn’t safe (very tight, little visibility) so I waved him along. I stayed there for appx 30 seconds until I realised he wanted to turn into the street I was pulling out of. He didn’t indicate once. Just a completely wild disregard for any form of road etiquette, not to mention the Highway Code.

I’ll report it from my dashcam, but I doubt anything will be done by my local police force.

I think we need far more stringent fines and forced retests (along with removal of licence if they can’t meet the standard of a learner) for anyone committing a road traffic offence or blatantly breaching the Highway Code out of sheer ignorance.

I worked in game engines for a long time. The main hurdle is just that it’s new. There’s a many-decade legacy pipeline of tools and techniques built around triangles. Splats are something new.

The good news is that splats are really simple once they’ve been generated. Maybe simpler than triangles depending on how you look at it. It’s just a matter of doing the work to set up new tools and pipelines.

It's easy to render these in a game engine. I'm sure physics and collision detection are possible. The big, huge, gigantic issue is actually lighting.

These scenes come with real world lighting baked in. This is great because it looks amazing, it's 100% correct, far better than the lighting computed by any game engine or even movie-quality offline ray tracer. This is a big part of why they look so good! But it's also a curse. Games need to be interactive. When things move, lighting changes. Even something as simple as opening a door can have a profound effect on lighting. Anything that moves changes the lighting on itself and everything around it. Let alone moving actual lights around, changing the time of day, etc.

There's absolutely no way to change the baked-in lighting in one of these captures in a high quality way. I've seen several papers that attempt it and the results all suck. It's not the fault of the researchers, it's a very hard problem. There are two main issues:

One, in order to perfectly re-light a scene you first have to de-light it, that is, compute the lighting-independent BRDF of every surface. The capture itself doesn't even contain enough information to do this in an unambiguous way. You can't know for sure how a surface would react under different lighting conditions than were present in the pictures that made up the original scan. Maybe in theory you can guess well enough in most cases and extrapolate, and AI can likely help a lot here, but in practice we are far away from good quality so far.

Two, given the BRDF of all surfaces and a set of new lights, you have to apply the new lighting to the scene. Real-time solutions for lighting are very approximate and won't be anywhere near the quality of the lighting in the original scan. So you'll lose some of that photorealistic quality when you do this, even if your BRDFs are perfect (they won't be). It will end up looking like regular game graphics instead of the picture-perfect scans you want. If you try to blend the new lighting with the original lighting, the boundaries will probably be obvious. You're competing with perfection! Even offline rendering would struggle to match the quality of the baked-in lighting in these captures.

To me the ultimate solution needs to involve AI. Analytically relighting everything perfectly is infeasible, but AI can likely do approximate lighting that looks more plausible in most cases, especially when trying to match captured natural lighting. I'm not sure exactly how it will work, but AI is already being used in rendering and its use will only increase.

I'm not sure exactly how this works, but you can get CBD as pills with no THC in them.

(Although anecdotally the best results are obtained from taking mostly CBD with a tiny bit of THC; it appears that the latter does something that makes the former's effect more potent. So you see stuff like e.g. 20:1 CBD:THC pills around - can't get high on that, but very effective at pain management. However pure CBD pills are still more common.)

Show HN: Free and High Quality Resources for Beginners Developers
When I first started to properly learn how to code in 2020 when I joined my university for my bachelor's degree I saw a huge overwhelming amount of resources that I can use to learn almost anything.

If I searched X tutorial for beginners on YouTube it would bring up a bajillion results and then I would be confused as to which video to watch and which playlist to follow and which video was actually worth watching because I'm not gonna watch 12+ hours of JavaScript tutorials every single day.

I just started listing them in a single markdown file on a GitHub repository and soon it got 100+ stars and I even got two great collaborators with me just for copy pasting YouTube links.

Soon the list got so big that the original idea that I had for it got left behind the endless scrolling file filled with links to different YouTube videos and lost it's purpose. I also got busy with my mom's health condition and university studies that I forgot about the whole thing.

Now, I re-started the effort again. This time aimed at people that are just starting learning and or are complete beginners but this time I'm only including the videos that I have watched and am sure about the quality and value that they provide and also added a few online resources other than YouTube videos as well.

Why not a national interstate rail system? Roads can still be used for flexible local transportation while railroads are used for mainline logistics and transportation of passengers.
the real question/point is whether it delivers.

It's just that there's a lot of empirical evidence that these grandiose praise is just praise, but not a lot of shipped software, compared to the 'worse is better' languages such as php, javascript or c.

However, this might be due to the fact that in order to write something in lisp, the author has to be pretty clever, but in order to crap out something in php, you don't need very much cleverness and just need grit/effort. And there are many more people who are not clever, but has grit and effort.
That sounds a bit high, but I'll trust your expertise.

Regardless, 1/50 the value of the prize doesn't seem egregious to me.
> what makes the USofA so poor at delivering functional public transport?

Not a complete answer but it is notable that several subway systems (Istanbul, Bogota, Hanoi, Singapore) were built by Chinese companies. Countries which have a far less adversarial relationship with China.

Of course inviting the Chinese into America to dig holes under our cities would be a political nonstarter. So part of the answer is, we insist on building things ourselves and we’re not very good at it.
Koa hasn't really been a thing since async/await came to JS and addressed most if not all of the pain points in Express that Koa initially was created to alleviate (the pyramid of doom being the main one).

It seems like there is still occasional work there, but it seems more like bare minimum bugfixes and docs improvements. I've maybe seen one company using Koa in the last 5 years.

Fastify would be the closest modern framework, but it's a significant departure from both Express and Koa, taking the convention over configuration approach, but it's not batteries-included.
Are people surprised that the app is written in code that can run on a different computer? Of course it can.

Both of the above are illegal, though very hard to enforce.
I am not an expert when it comes to image generation, but know a fair bit about large language models and machine learning in general. My guess is that like all gradient-based models, they will find certain minima based on the the training data and be somewhat reluctant to deviate too strongly from it as this would most likely penalise both training and test loss. Thus, a "style" can easily "emerge" simple due to the way we formulate these models mathematically. By intuition, consider how say a comedian or workman would often be reluctant to deviate from whatever is tried and tested. Machine learning models tend to be somewhat conservative by default, although there is plenty of literature on how we can sample them to try to avoid this at the cost of reduced accuracy/precision.

The characterisation of taxes and ease to start a business is utterly false.

I don't understand how either of those links clarify anything; the former shows that they had a version 3.y.z and a version 20.y, and the later shows a change from 3.20.x to 4.21.x, but none of it gives any explanation for why a new major version should "inherit" the old minor version instead of restarting from 0, or why they kept around `x.y` when updating to use `x.y.z` instead of just continuing the existing branch as `0.x+1.y` or `1.x+1.y`. If anything, the fact that they already seem to assume that new major versions should always inherit the minor version would make it _more_ consistent than having one "special" branch that has "narrower" versions.
