Something I want is a sandboxed place to run USER scripts in game. I trust the game's creators to not hack my machine with their DSL (else I wouldn't be running their game). I don't trust random drive by game mod to the same level. I'd love not to have to trust user additions, but currently I do have to trust them or go without.

I run a few games that takes C# plugins. The games have a big warning that they aren't doing anything to prevent my machine getting hacked, personal files uploaded to random servers, etc....
Everyone's home internet connection now is very fast. They are very capable of hosting a static website of files in folders from home as a human person without CAs being involved. And it's much safer than, say, running Chrome w/javascript on and visiting a random website.

How feasible is to port the other MiSTer cores to this platform, tool-chain wise?
I've been at it for a few years now and my experience with game engine scripting is that the functions are small, and that it's helpful or pleasant to have the ability to make many calls back into the game engine to ask for things, even simple things. My measurements have shown time and again that libriscv spends 3ns entering and leaving the emulator dispatch, and 2ns to execute a system call or even a more complex host function scheme (using custom instructions).

So now it's a race. For example, wasmtime needs 48ns just to enter and leave, and 24ns to make a call into the host. That's around 100-150 instructions libriscv can execute before wasmtime has even overcome the fixed call latencies. And then add 50 each time we make a call back into the engine.

Now combine this with my ~200 host functions in my game, and I don't know how many in-game events. Which function would wasmtime be faster at? I don't know, probably not a single one. And that's really it. There's no fibonacci computations in game engine scripting. It's just logic.

As far as using complex run-times for scripting: I've already been doing this dance for years now. For example, TinyKVM is a native performance KVM userspace emulator that I among other things ran v8 inside. You can find my research paper about it. So it's not like I couldn't throw v8 in there and slideware some JS solution. But, I really do prefer writing C++.

Also related is attack surface. libriscv is 10k LOC. wasmtime is what, 350k LOC?

Here is a random function I benchmarked: https://fwsgonzo.medium.com/a-sandboxed-rainbow-function-b42...

wasmtime spent 107ns and libriscv 57ns. Those kinds of functions is your average script function. And, even if we were exactly matching in latency, I would still call that a win!

EDIT: To add, you did make a good point about tooling, components etc.
lmao nice
I'm mostly surprised just how underwhelming this looks. Meta has buckets of money, and hires the absolute best engineers available, and what they can come up with is...this? It just looks so bad - ugly lighting, bad textures etc etc. If this is a showcase of the best that Quest can be, I'm surprised.
That is an awesome idea. I really hope someone runs with it.
I'm guessing that management wasn't one of the functions selected for offshoring - funny how the Indians are always better at every function except that.

Yes one part is definitely pushing people past natural limits and then drugging them to try and extend their limits.

I think another is a privileged perspective - to a tenured university researcher with a low stress life, or a wealthy doctor, they may feel that "the program" has worked fine for them. So they can't imagine how the program has led another to a life of misery.
When in doubt, bet on the greedy tax man. How ever you structure it they will ensure you loss. But I would talk with a tax specialist, not a group of techies :-)
If the correlation is proven true then that’s obviously terrible, but I’m in my mid 40s now, tattoo-less, and one of my biggest regrets is not getting a couple tattoos when I was younger. I feel like doing it now looks like a midlife crisis type thing. I always wanted one of those Thai tattoos where they manually tap tap tap the design into your skin with a mallet.

Not a fair comparison. International flights tend to have more legroom than domestic flights because they're longer routes.

I recall Lufthansa at one time being a well ranked airline. However, they seem to have fallen.

They're not even listed here: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/skytrax-world-airline-awards-...

I really like nools, which is a drools clone, but for JavaScript. It's fantastic for quick hacks and for getting to know how to write code for rule engines.

Sadly, it is no longer maintained.
Stats are telling a different story...
And then reality hits: they will change the plane and all you've seen before buying becomes invalid. Swiss (a Lufthansa group member) makes you pay for your reserved seat, then constantly changes it at will - I fly with them often and I can't remember one single time where I kept the reserved place. So yes, it's a pointless PR exercise.
Unfortunately there are 86400 timestamps per day, so enumerating this across all days and all devices would take forever.

Instead we'll use a heuristic: we'll start with the last screenshot and subtract one second at a time, downloading from each and seeing if we get a valid photo or the error XML that comes up if no screenshot was taken at that second. If we get the error XML 20 times in a row, we'll assume the recording is over and give up.

Binary search?
How is Lufthansa for leg room?

That's the only difference I care about w.r.t. seating sections, and I doubt VR could help with that.
I disagree with your take. Your surly rejoinder aside, the parent commenter identifies an area where senior level knowledge and process appropriately assess a problem. Not every job interview is satisfying checklist of prior experience or training, but rather assessing how well that skillset will fit the needed domain.

In my view, it's an appropriate question.

Author is fairly early on in the self-taught stage from this sentence:

"(I really need to start digging into chapter 5 of The Art of Electronics, which is about achieving precision in electronic circuits)."

The author is aware of their learning-by-doing process, which is pedagogically great, but does mean they have to slog through finding things out the hard way.

"I really need to ditch the TL074"

- yes, it's from 1979. You'd also benefit from moving away from complicated analogue arithmetic and just buying a better ADC; remember that "losing half the range" is only one bit! You can buy some more bits at the bit store! (well, up to about 24, but then things have already got hairy in the analogue front end at that point)

The word "bandwidth" does not appear in this article, which means the author has not yet encountered control theory and is therefore not aware of a whole range of possible ways for a PSU to suck.

FWIW I am the same. I tend to recommend BigQuery and AWS/Athena in various posts. Many times paired with Parquet.

His arguments are still valid and 86 days is a pretty long time.
An outright ban would break a lot of existing code out there. Deprecation may not help, as people can simply turn off the guard if optional or use an older compiler if not. The problem with C is the massive mountain of legacy code that operates all of our computer systems. C is everywhere, in some form or other.
> If that's the case then why are Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and even Google not nr 1 right now?

Microsoft is nr 1 right now, via OpenAI. Microsoft was behind on AI so they sent their compute for 49% of OpenAI and full access to OpenAI's models.
You're never going to get a fang job with an approach like that. And basically most developers are working towards that goal.
Thats what they do. Those lungs are fake, sold by medical supply companies. They just take a healthy pig lung and dye it black and burn holes in it for "tumors".

> In the group with lymphoma, 21 percent were tattooed (289 individuals), while 18 percent were tattooed in the control group without a lymphoma diagnosis (735 individuals).

Sure, that’s a meaningful percentage difference, but with the relatively small sample size and different `n` values, I don’t make much of this at the moment.

> The Rust/memory safety crowd does exaggerate its importance somewhat. Arrays aren't actually that common in some types of applications, especially kernels, which is what C was designed to implement.

I'm not sure if this is true. All kernels rely on stacks and queues to manage processes and scheduling. They're all implemented as arrays.

We were taught the 1:3 rule in audio...

If the distance from the microphone to an "unwanted source" is three times the distance asthat from the microphone to the source phasing likely wont be an issue.

There's always caveats with engineering but it's a decent rule of thumb assuming equal volume sources... I can imagine it's not too hard to detect that anyway, weve been able to do realtime fft for a very long time.
Densification works organically when you don't ban it. That's the way cities have always grown. You plan for the future, upzone areas when appropriate, let the property owners determine what's in their best interests, and collaborate with them to ensure that the necessary infrastructure gets built.
Go's template system (both text/template and html/template) is pretty powerful. You can add custom functions and partial templates too. I use these concepts in https://docs.hofstadter.io to generate any code, not just frontend. Hugo uses the same system to do static site generation, which may be even closer to what you are showing. Helm templates is the epitome of the worst use (go/templating yaml files, I use CUE for this now).

For frontend, as in your example, this has the older feel for UI, where each navigation requires a round trip to the server and a full-page response to the client. This is part of the reason people have moved to React and full-stack TS. I love Go, but I'm definitely a big fan of writing webapps in Next at this point. React Server Components are a really nice DX.

I now generate much of the React / Next code at develop time, rather than runtime. Hof's original goal was to make adding a field to a type a one-line change in a source-of-truth file, and then generate all the changes through a full-stack app by running `hof gen`.
> Exponentially" is very unlikely. It may become somewhat cheaper, at first, if supply increases. Which btw. is also true for nuclear power.

Not “at first” but demonstrably over time and ongoing. Yes it will cease eventually but it seems like that’s not near.

> But then what? We cannot power the world with solar alone, for the simple reason that we cannot store that much energy during the dark hours. Hydro storage is geographically limited, and batteries, well, let's just say the entire world output of Lithium over the last 3 decades didn't make enough to even store the electricity the US alone requires in a single day. And that is before be electrify further.

Powering the us on batteries for a full day is not a realistic goal. But batteries are already cost competitive and shuttering gas peaker plants.

> Yes, we should build more solar. There is no reason to have roofs not covered in panels. But all solar can do, is help. It is not the solution to our energy demands.

Rooftop solar is actually more expensive than nuclear actually. Or at least a year or two ago.

If you build a bunch of nuclear you will not be able to compete on price with cheap renewables during the day. But you can’t just turn a nuclear reactor on and off so you’ll have to still generate and operate at a loss. Which means to be profitable you have to raise prices to make up for it in the off hours. Which, in turn, makes you less competitive and makes it more commercially viable for batteries.

Tl;dr, market forces will punish you. Renewables and batteries and fossil fuels as backup are the clear winners

Tell HN: OpenAI seems to be A/B testing ads in answers
I just asked it a question about programming and got back an answer recommending me a weight loss supplement that is completely unrelated to my question.

I repeated the same prompt in another chat and got an actual answer.

Either it's an ad or it's the worst hallucination I've seen in 5 years of using various LLMs, supposedly on the most advanced model out there, which I find hard to believe.

> Lol. Data management is about safety, auditablity, access control, knowledge sharing and who bunch of other stuff. I would've immediately shown you the door as someone who i cannot trust data with.

No need to act smug and superior, especially since nothing about OP's plan here actually precludes having all the nice things you mentioned, or even having them inside $your_favorite_enterprise_environment.

You risk coming across as a person who feels threatened by simple solutions, perhaps someone who wants to spend $500k in vendor subscriptions every year for simple and/or imaginary problems... exactly the type of thing TFA talks about.

But I'll ask the question.. why do you think safety, auditablity, access control, and knowledge sharing are incompatible with CLI tools and a specific choice of file system? What's your preferred alternative? Are you sticking with that alternative regardless of how often the work load runs, how often it changes, and whether the data fits in memory or requires a cluster?
Speaking personally, depression is more about the ability to manage emotions rather than the emotion themselves. In other words, remembering something that happened in the past that would cause a tiny bit of embarrassment in a "normal" condition would be unbearably painful under depression.

Therapy is useful both in recognizing when your emotional response is disproportional compared to the cause (that is, being "properly" sad or embarrassed vs being depressed), snap out of it and to "learn" to avoid being embarrassed or sad for things outside of your control that could trigger your depression, for example. Something along the same lines of the "there's no spoon" quote from the matrix, but applied to your emotions.
Another way to say that is that "planning for success" is prematurely optimizing for scale.

Scaling up will bring its own challenges, with many of them difficult to foresee.
Yes. The information on choices can be freely available AND you can have your choices limited to a set of options that individually you find unsatisfactory. These can both be true at the same time. For example, what if their trip was for work and they weren't given any choice since the tickets were purchased for them?
And the point of this is...what exactly? That I can see the interior of a planes seating area?

You can read (scan) code to get the general gist of it. It's more at the level of "this code looks at the pathname, then some cookies, and then either calls the signin function or returns True". That's about the same level where I read most prose. It's enough to answer the question "what does this do" (answer: "calls signin if you aren't logged in but should be") or "how complex is this" but not enough to modify the code or understand the intricacies of it.

What you are referring to is simulating the execution in my head to figure out which execution flows exist, figuring out which cases aren't covered, what the function calls actually do, what the significance of those cookies is, etc. That's similar to how I read contracts. But unless I have to write a literary analysis or somebody asks me to find all the plotholes and inconsistencies I don't read normal prose that way.

It might be interesting if there are similarities between programmers tracing execution flows, lawyers reading an unfamiliar contract, and editors finding inconsistencies in short novels.

How Adam Bootstrapped and grew ScreenStudio using X
As a developer of a similar vintage, I can relate to this mindset, but I think we should be careful about it. We learned in an era when differences in browser behaviour were a big deal and new versions of browsers sometimes came along years apart. But those days are long gone — even Safari now gets several updates each year — and we should let the habits they created go with them.

Should we be cautious about relying on non-standard features or trusting the perma-beta culture that Google never seems to have grown out of? Of course. But there have been many recent developments that are useful and already widely supported, and not using those when they provide a good solution to an immediate problem seems counterproductive.
The focus of the US military is the accomplishment of military objectives, not on indiscriminate slaughter.

I'm having trouble finding current comprehensive reports on casualties as a consequence of direct US military action, but we can look at the most recent major action, the US-initiated war in Iraq (2003--2011), in which the upper-bound estimate is about 645,000 casualties. That works out to about 80,000 per year. Low-end estimate is about 50,000/year. Note that this is now much reduced.

Highway traffic fatalities in the US are presently just under 50,000/year. Which is to say that peacetime fatalities due to transportation are on the order of total military deaths during a fairly major war. On a sustained basis, vehicles have likely killed more people than US military operations.

Another stat: more people had died from 2000--2019 in US traffic deaths than all US military casualties from both World Wars: <https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/mor...>

Note that military casualties is not total deaths inclusive of all combatants and civilian deaths.

I mean, say, draft C23 and C++20 are still dialects. There is a large subset that is mutually intelligible and useful for production work.

C23 is closer to C++ in one small way: () is now a prototyped parameter list, meaning the same as (void). Thus if you want to program in a common C23/C++ dialect, you can drop the (void) kludge now.
You could use stash for just that use case (even multiple times to make multiple "patches").

For a more robuts method, you could also just commit (without pushing of course). Then, you can do "git reset --hard HEAD~1", and you have a pre-patch env ready for more work. When you need to re-do your commit, you can check reflog to get the ID.

Either way is, to me, an easier way to achieve the same result as patches.
