Folks in the hacker community have a long history of being too forgiving of what should be hard-avoid character flaws.

That's a big part of why these reputation-erasing, behind-closed-door censorship networks exist to begin with.

One of infosec's biggest twitter cancel-brigade queens was also the most prolific troll in GNAA and had a long, public history of grooming underage males but everyone looks the other way and celebrates her accomplishments. She literally got a job on Biden's campaign and yet barely anyone talks about it.
Most of the new 4-6 story apartment buildings I see going up in USA are all timber frames, at least in the residential floors.

To be fair, newer models of the old Switch do not have published exploits either. People solder chips onto them just like the bad old days of console modding. I'd like to think that it's inevitable more exploits will eventually be found, but the increased gap between discoveries may suggest Nintendo is finally learning key lessons regarding endpoint security.
More bugs, but none of them are double free?
In this case, it's better.
Yeah, if you want something similar for other systems, try x11amp.

(Yes I know it's not called that anymore and I'm showing my age).
Not surprising. I have a friend who rents Teslas when he rents. He always fast charges and always to 100%. He also drives it hard. "It's fun and it's not my battery!".

I'm guessing most people who rent Teslas operate the same way.
The MEV bots had a protocol that they were expected to follow. These two guys were running a secret cluster of their own bots that strongly violated the expected protocol.

That's not the design goal, it's more a "haha but kind a true" thing.

The grammar for what's accepted by Loop is well specified, but the results also read very clearly. Once you learn a few of them, you start to understand how the rest would be written and can guess, but the design is not that you would guess.
There have been Linux-based clones of Winamp for a long time, such as XMMS (which directly supports Winamp skins).
In our city graffiti is allowed on a couple select bridge pillars and retaining walls. Those often have excellent artworks that anyone can appreciate.

Not that illegal graffiti can't produce great art too, and the illegality is a part of what fuels the culture. But I've come to the conclusion that if a place is likely to be "vandalized" by graffiti anyways you are better off just allowing it and see what people do without the time pressure of avoiding arrest.
The particular reference to Egyptians is a red herring, since nobody else built pyramids of this sort (that survive and are known). I expect that if they were located in China or Europe (and no where else), people would equally wonder how the Chinese or Europeans could have been so unique as to build something of the sort.
Thank you for the actual quote, I didn't see it in the article.

Show HN: No more Vercel/Heroku juggling for devs We made a unified platform
If you appreciate the simplicity and speed of deploying on Vercel for front-end projects, you'll likely find CloudStation appealing because it extends that simplicity to other areas:

By handling both front-end and back-end deployments in one platform, you reduce the overhead associated with managing multiple service providers and integration points.

Docker Support : If you're using Docker, CloudStation can manage and deploy your containers, which is great for maintaining consistency in development and production environments.

Database Integration: Easily attach and manage databases within the same platform, streamlining the development and deployment process without the need for separate database hosting.
Instant Rollbacks and Previews: Similar to Vercel, CloudStation supports instant rollbacks and preview deployments, which can be crucial for continuous integration and testing

Feedback appreciate : https://cloud-station.io/=ref?hn
Why shouldn't HN be critical of the damage done to the internet infrastructure as a whole?

> GameScent feels like a $20 gag gift that's good for a laugh and a bit of fooling around with, after which it goes back into the closet and, eventually, the dumpster. But somehow it sells for $150, which is absolutely bananas.

And then if you actually use the thing, presumably you'll have to buy scent refills too...

That said, when Kojima said he wanted to make the Snatcher floppy discs smell like stale blood at a crime scene, I thought that was a neat idea. Scented games could have their moment someday.
So happy to read this in a few different comments. I took a data-viz class in college and just felt stupid because d3 didn't click for me.
When graffiti is done on public owned objects or walls, it's impact is merely aesthetic. Not like a bank robbery.

And I'd rather see graffiti, even if I find some ugly, than ads all over. And there's way more public ads anywhere than graffiti. I think local urban expressions like stickers and graffiti is pretty cool. The mainstream prefers ads I guess.
High Impact Python Streamlit: Beautiful Interactive Maps and Charts
It really needs to be said that AI "artists" have confused productivity with quality. I actually don't go to DeviantArt to see your ai generated garbage. I care more about people who are willing to do interesting things with their medium even if they takes a lot longer.
Before that it was called x11amp, and after that it's been succeeded by a fork that ended up being Audacious, apparently.

My understanding is theyre two sides of the same coin.

Any loop can be written recurisvely or iteratively.

And a loop is really just a move to the same instruction, or equivalently a replication of the same instruction.
This is a very intuitive list. I'm going to try some of these things this week. (I'll keep everyone posted.)
I had to re-read your comment because first time round I thought you were suggesting it was JF's codebase they hated. Everything else he's ever worked on has been phenomenal (especially Reaper, from the very start).

So was that at AOL?
https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ already exists, though.
That's a good way of framing the core concept.

D3 was never intuitive for me. Maybe the problem is that it tries to do too much, at too many different level of abstraction? If it's just about projecting data, that's easy enough to understand. But I guess projection is also closely tied to axis and other pieces.
Few Chinese Electric Cars Are Sold in U.S., but Industry Fears a Flood
https://julius.ai is great
I didn't mean to bad mouth unions, merely state the reality. If electric vehicles are much less sophisticated than ICE cars, and the cost of the battery never goes down significantly due to the cost of rare earth materials (especially if you want to sell at the volume environmentalists aspire to sell at) then the way they get cheaper is through labor arbitrage and there's no real alternative.
That's not true.

My wife and I had to exchange a rental because it was producing excessive exhaust, the alignment was so bad it pulled, and an engine service indicator was on.

Rentals are frequently driven hard and may not get basic routine service (that should happen more frequently due to being driven hard).
NAND gates are enough to computer any boolean function.
Being Turing complete requires some notion of state and state transition.

However, a RAM machine where the program counter is memory mapped, can be Turing complete with a [single machine instruction]( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-instruction_set_computer).

People compare a general intelligence against the yardstick of their own specialist skills.

I’ve seen some truly absurd examples, like people complaining that it didn’t have the latest updates to some obscure research functional logic proof language that has maybe a hundred users globally!

GPT 4 already has markedly superior English comprehension and basic logic than most people I interact with on a daily basis. It’s only outperformed by a handful of people, all of whom are “high achievers” such as entrepreneurs, professors, or consultants.

I actively simplify my speech when talking to ordinary people to avoid overwhelming them. I don’t need to when instructing GPT.
> A few of my friends complain that the layout "sucks" or foobar lacks functionality they need, but for my use case,

I see these complaints too, and I find them funny. The layout is what you make of it. I don't care for any of the layout presets presented in the "Quick Appearance Setup" dialog, but the default UI component is very easy to customize almost any way you want. There's even a scratchbox feature that lets you experiment with building a whole UI from scratch without messing with your current layout.

As for the functionality they find it lacks, well, there's probably a component for that.

Frankly I find foobar2000 comes with a ton of functionality out of the box that other media players don't have, like the very robust features found in the "Tagging" and "File Operations" context menu entries.
> This seems unrelated to Rails. Not sure why monolith can't continue handling authorization.

Agreed. You can totally keep some data in the monolith and some data in new services, and stitch them together if/as needed: https://www.osohq.com/post/distributed-authorization

Implying that graffiti is as bad as bank robberies is wild.
Looks like it will be nice when they work some of the kinks out. I'm now getting an internal error with the environment 'AceInternalException' when trying to display data in a pandas dataframe to the console. I looked around for about 5 minutes for a link or route to properly report the reproduction steps as a bug but didn't find anything and gave up.

I wouldn't worry about that. I've poured hundreds of gels and added the EtBr to it after microwaving it every single time. Never had anything close to that happen. Just use a sufficiently concentrated EtBr stock and you're adding like 45 µL to 45 mL.
Except that there's no way to reliably determine what data is generated by AI. I strongly believe there should be a registry of data created by generative AI so that society can track and better determine how to handle the tsunami of crap that's coming. Making the digital creation of spam and scams tailored to individuals cheaper cannot possibly result in a good outcome.

The video shows the electric leaf blower before, and with their invention after. And it's a big difference, and makes the electric even quieter. I think we definitely need this even for electric!

Yay, for quieter cities!!!
For MLK I see it as a more complex situation, where his movement's peaceful promise shines that bright _because_ the other active movements don't shy away from embracing violence and are a credible threat in case MLK's supporters moved away in mass from his ideology.

People kept supporting him because hope was still there, and his death gave way to riots that just couldn't be ignored, giving the smallest glimpse of what would keep going if rapid change wasn't enacted.

I'm not versed enough in India's history to comment.
Or as I once heard by way of explanation: the capacity of an early analog cellular ~30km AMPS cell was ~60 simultaneous calls.

Modern protocols do magic things with spectrum efficiency, but there's only so much you can do.
I picked it not because it's good, but to illustrate the cheapest digital is still better than any analog mechanism that money can buy.
Such a BS case. Why are these frontrunners being protected, live by the sword, die by the sword.
I'm on the (admittedly expensive) EGO system of lawn tools, and I can mow, trim, and blow my entire yard (front and back) in a relatively normal lot (8000 sq ft) on one 10.0Ah battery. It recharges in 2 hours. So I think electric is a touch more practical than your numbers might represent.

But for commercial use I agree, the upfront capex cost is prohibitive. And the need for charging infrastructure (in truck or other) presents an issue.
Massive amounts of carbon fiber used in wind blades is coming from … oil. So same problem here. And it becomes unusable toxic waste.
Part of the confusion is that people use the term "AGI" to mean different things. We should actually call this AGI, because it is starkly different from the narrow capabilities of AI a few years ago.

I am not claiming that it is a full digital simulation of a human being or has all of the capabilities of animals like humans, or is the end of intelligence research. But it is obviously very general purpose at this point, and very human-like in many ways.

Study this page carefully: https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/ .. much of that was deliberately omitted from the presentation.
Fair enough. I meant specifically in the context of data visualization libraries, having done a fair bit of that sort of work in my own career. It’s harder to make a basic chart in d3, compared to many out of the box solutions, but it’s possible to do pretty much whatever you want, thanks to (what I consider) the low-ish level of abstraction it provides. I.e. DOM manipulation vs direct specification of standard chart attributes.

It would need to be a neutral-density-ish smoke, wouldn't it? If my dealings with (much, much) smaller lasers are an indication, "regular" smoke from laser-heated things is generally buoyant in air, and would tend to just float up and away from a presumably-horizontal beam. It seems like this would limit the smoke's abilities to diffuse and absorb the energy.

I suspect the 6 story and shorter buildings will end up having an alternative design where the stairwell and possibly certain walls are concrete, poured around the same time as the foundation, but the remaining structure is engineered timber.

The challenge is going to be convincing fire departments and insurance agencies that theyre safe enough to not prevent.

A few things to consider:

1) Rental EVs could be acceleration and charge capped to reduce excessive strain on the drivetrain.

2) Some customers may be seeking an EV without artificial limiters.

3) Rental companies could charge more for removing performance limiters.
Ask it to write you the Wolfram language code and then verify it and execute it yourself.

I’ve found that I can work 100x faster with Mathematica this way and solve problems that I wouldn’t have bothered to attempt otherwise.

This is particularly effective for quickly visualising things, I’m too lazy to figure out all the graphing options for esoteric scenarios but GPT 4 can quickly iterate over variants given feedback.
The issue has to do with buying used rental cars (regardless of brand), not Tesla cars.

"OpenAI doesn't have a moat", yet every time they announce something it goes on to trend worldwide.

I'm not even a fan of them, and I dislike the hypocrisy behind the name; and still, ChatGPT has replaced Google for 90% of my queries. It's starting to feel like a burden to have to open Google when ChatGPT doesn't give me what I want for some reason. As soon as they're able to "ground" results, 99% of my queries will go there.

Anyone that doesn't understand this is just coping hard with this new reality.

I think there's an argument to be had on 'owned by the public, but operated by private industry.'

Another on 'built by private industry, but owned by the public.'

Government ownership isn't a panacea and has historically faultered when faced with innovative and expert requirements.

But I do think anything that trends towards monopoly makes sense as 'let the public own the simplest level, exposed via standards, and innovation happen above and/or below that.'
To be fair, ffmpeg is highly modular, some parts of it are probably already in Rust. I feel like rewriting certain extremely high-use libraries like libx264 could be done if like, 5 really productive Rust engineers with codec experience took it on for 12 months.

I’m not saying it’s needed, just that ffmpeg is the kind of thing that could be rewritten gradually if there was interest and a lot of dedicated talent.
They're very cool until it's your apartment or commercial building, and you have to clean it up - because let's face it, for every clever graffiti, there are fifty that are just tags, swear words, or worse.

And your framing is odd - can you only dislike one of these things? Graffiti or ads? There are successful movements to rid cities and scenic areas of ads, or to tone them down.
If the design space is so huge, how about giving some examples, instead of insulting people who disagree with you? Surely you'll be able to do so, while satisfying the requirements I listed?

Because Powershell doesn't satisfy them. You are not going to save Powershell object stream yo CI output or provisioner logs. You are not going to send objects over SSH, or over web console, or over BMC-emulated serial port. In all of those cases it's going to be good old stream of characters, with the occasional control sequence from more advanced programs.

You can have whatever rich datatypes inside your application (powrshell isn't the first, I remember reading about LISP shells back in 2000's), but at some moment you have to talk with other systems, and that's when you will have to switch to character streams.

(that said, the current escape sequences could use lots of improvement. That's not going to change fundamental concept though)

Yeah, it's almost comical the degree to which quantity has become emphasized over quality. More than a few times I've clicked through to an AI posters profile out of morbid curiosity and seen that they have thousands or even tens of thousands of uploads despite being active for less than a year or so. Even with the supposed productivity boosts that AI brings you can't convince me that someone posting 20+ pieces every single day like clockwork is putting any real consideration into them, but the magic of AI is that something with little time and zero thought put into it can still be superficially passable.

via api (harder to do via chat as cleanly) you can also try showing it do a false attempt (but a short one so it's effectively part of the prompt) and then you say try again.
So AI-generated answers will kill websites and then we'll be completely dependent on Google and LLM whimsy to find out what real information is. I assume end users will have to deploy their own AI of some sort to wade through the shit. Increase in complexity of one magnitude and increase in inefficiency and bullshit of greater magnitudes, but you can't back out because that lowers your guard and yet another global prisoner's dilemma is born.

This is what happens when you blindly worship at the altar of Progress.
Hey ertucetin!

(Disclaimer, I used to work at PlayCanvas and still manage the Discord)

Just to help feedback on some points:

- ES6 Modules and NPM support is actively being worked on and should be ready by end of year

- Typescript support will follow after that

(Mark who wrote this now works at PlayCanvas https://forum.playcanvas.com/t/playbuild-a-compiler-and-pack...)

- If an minor engine release breaks existing project, the editor supports running and building with the last minor and patch release. Minor releases should never break existing projects unknowningly (shader chunks was the last (and painful) known big breaking change). The PlayCanvas team are usually pretty good at dealing with reported minor version breakages.

If you do take on another web 3D project after this work is done, hopefully this will help with reconsideration :)
