Predictions and pre vs post accident is an interesting subject.

Which bridge that is currently in operation should be closed next?

We use message queues for everything that doesn't have to be real time. It's just another tool in the toolbox and pretty old and well known. I don't think it needs extensive blogging as pretty much anyone who need to use message queues knows how to do it.

It has some downsides as it if something happens it's harder to debug than just using good old REST API calls.
Homotopy type theory isn’t magic, but it nicely explores the difference between (strict) equality and context dependent equivalence. (Okay, technically that’s univalence.)

I think HoTT nicely capstones the idea algebra and geometry are equivalent by pointing out that semantics itself is defined by the topology of categorical diagrams — and anywhere we find compatible topology is equivalent. Neat.
If I learned one important lesson from writing savegame systems: don't directly serialize your entire game state on the "game object level" (e.g. don't create a savegame by running a serializer over your game object soup), instead decouple the saved data from your game logic internals, have a clear boundary between your game logic and the savegame-system, keep the saved state as minimal as possible, and reconstruct or default-initialize the rest of the data after loading saved state.

With that approach, a language-assisted serialization system also looses a lot of its appeal IMHO (although it can still be useful of course for describing the separate savegame data format).

Also: resist the architecture astronaut in you, especially savegame systems are a honey trap for overengineering ;)
> Apple is dropping support for the 2018 MacBook Air

That's an awfully short support window, I bet these computers still work well enough for daily usage. Thankfully, for the intel line there's always the option to install Linux (I suppose).

So much ewaste for a company that touts to be environmentally friendly.
Also sometimes localStorage gets cleared because it can easily become corrupted from concurrent writes. I had a userscript that made a few fetch calls whenever I visited a certain domain and saved the results in localStorage. Every week or so, all the data in localStorage would just get wiped. Switching to IndexedDB (via localForage) solved the problem.
It's not a mystery at all afaics. They do spoil over time if not used, and you don't need that many of them because of their intense flavour so it makes sense to only have a small jar open at any given time so they don't spoil.

As for getting them out of a jar I really don't know what to say. It's a small jar so use a small spoon? That's what I do, and I presumed everyone else also did.

Your life must be pretty good if getting capers out of a jar is something you have time to trouble yourself thinking of optimising.

Here's something which could be a genuine market mystery (which I know the reason for but it's kind of a fun one to ponder if you don't): Why is the label on angostura bitters always too big for the bottle?
I think that can be turned off. I tried that recently. There is a global flag we can set to turn of antialiasing.

Show HN: Local, In-Browser i18n Translations
Hey HN,

This idea came to me after using ChatGPT to translate my i18n files. It worked well, but it was inconvenient having to specify each language I wanted to be output. Not to mention the token usage.

So, I built this using transformers.js alongside the Xenova/nllb-200-distilled-600M model to enable in-browser translations.

There is no server involved with the translation functionality. The only backend-related code running is authentication to enable a few premium features.

Would love to know your thoughts :)

Cody
Thank you. I'll probably make one these days.
I have also seen a lot of cases where engineers would use the more unnecessarily complex structure on purpose to make themselves less replaceable, as it would take longer time for newcomers to get familiar with the environment deployed.
Hydrodynamic model is not an interpretation or a theory - it's a model. Models are not perfect, but they are physical, they are real things in the real world, no need to prove anything, because they are the proof.

HQM exists, it demonstrates quantum behavior, it has the pilot wave. If QFT doesn't fit the real world, then it is bad for theory, not for the real world.

Yeah, copy that. Things like that happen when writing stories using a pocket supercomputer while standing in the shower.
> Is that also why almost no one is using microservices and Kubernetes?

I don’t know of a single 100+ sized organisation in my area which doesn’t use micro services in some form. A lot of places also use kubernetes indirectly through major cloud provider layers line Azure Container Apps.

Our frontend (and indeed quite a bit of our backend) lives in a NX mono-repo. As for how it actually works, however, it’s basically a lot of micro-services which are very independently maintainable. Meaning you can easily have different teams work on different parts of your ecosystem and not break things. It doesn’t necessarily deploy as what some people might consider micro services of course. But then micro services were always this abstract thing that is honestly more of a framework for management and change management than anything tech.
Yes and no.

Only the elite in that country has access to the Internet. The starving citizens do not have access to the Internet, and even if they do/did, they're so heavily monitored the minute they even glanced at something controversial they'd be shipped to a concentration camp.
You need to be careful about the phrase “considered a number” since I believe one, or unity, was also not considered a number by some ancient civilisation - i.e. a number was only multiple copies of unity.

[I believe this YouTube video goes into more detail in its discussion of why 1 was not considered Prime in the ancient world: https://youtu.be/R33RoMO6xeA]
Ya gotta type louder, I don't see as well as I used to. ;-)
In those terms, the foundations (of any topic or field) are never fundamental. I think people in this thread are using a different meaning of "fundamental".
Naturally ymmv depending on your energy costs. And indeed other costs. ($4 for a lettuce sounds high, we pay pennies for that here.) It'll also vary depending on your overall income.

I would gracefully suggest that your life-style might not necessarily reflect the life style of the general public?
people aka shareholders got what current trends want. but i personally don't think they needed to restructure research division for this.
The last two points are not contradictory.
I run a personal finance app that's built as a PWA (https://tender.run, my email is in my profile).

I would say running as a PWA has been a mixed bag. There are quite a few missing features across web platforms (for starters, background sync, full featured push notifications, haptics) that make it hard to be competitive with native apps. Every WWDC, we watch in hopes that Safari gets more PWA features, but it's a thin drip. There's a reason so many apps repackage into electron/cordova/whatever shells.

As other folks in thread have pointed out, it's probably worth thinking through why a product works particularly as a PWA vs alternative distribution methods.

You're not redefining anything; you're adding a relationship.
Ok, so question (because I really like the DAG approach in principle but don't have enough experience to have had my fingers burned yet):

The way you use Airflow, what advantage does it have over crontab? Or to put it another way, once you remove the pipeline logic, what's left?
We actually used SQLite in a couple of singleplayer RPGs (the Drakensang games).

The initial world state was baked into tables in an SQLite database file, and savegames were just mutated SQLite files (we kept a record of created, mutated and deleted database rows, and periodically flushed those changes into SQLite).

It worked well, but was overkill because we didn't actually make use of any advanced SQL features (just simple search over an object-id column). It would have been easier to cut SQL out of the loop and just write a simple table-based persistency system.
That may be true for the US, but lots of the world has variable energy pricing already.
"Waifu" is "wife" if written in katakana. It is jokingly used as a name for the fictional female characters in manga and anime that are designed to appeal to male viewers. Some people wish the fiction wasn't so fictional.

I swear to $DEITY that this is the most entertaining subthread i've seen in a while on HN.
All valid issues, to be sure. But I do think that a big chunk of the suckiness is poor tooling (lacking easier/better ways to opt-out or customize various parts, for instance) rather than a conceptual problem. That's why I feel like it would require a language to fully embrace it (kinda like Smalltalk did) rather than being a bolt-on feature. And for games it would likely need to be innately aware of GPU concerns, too.

On the flipside, there are (hopefully obvious) big advantages for the development process, when you can snapshot full states.

Of course, none of it matters if you actually need max performance — no AAA shooters would use it. But there are lots of not-performance-critical games which might benefit more from the better development experience at the expense of some performance. Perhaps point-and-click adventures, sidescrollers, shootemups, and such.

Anyway, just spitballing (:

I'm working on a game now that has almost no state, and I wish for a way to have that same freedom I feel in a more stateful traditional game, without having to muddy up everything with serialization interfaces et. al.
Honestly, Helm kinda sucks (for all the reasons you mentioned).

But Kustomize is very nice. Although, their docs could be a bit better.
I tested the app with the Google and Samsung TTS, in these days I will also test with other TTS including the 2 mentioned here and I will try to solve it, I will update you in the issue you opened.
> instead you have a schema versioning problem

That same versioning problem also exists with other approaches. Having a versioned schema of the savegame format around for version migrations is generally a good idea.
What if the citation is "i believe this preceding study to be grievously flawed and possibly fraudulent [ref]"
That might be called Subtype, but is a disjoint type containing different values than the original type. If S is a subtype of T, and x : S, then also x : T.
I live in an area like this and it's great. Off the top of my head, within half a kilometer of my apartment there's:

- 4 grocery stores, including a small turkish one
- a café
- 2 fast food places
- a nail studio
- 2 hair salons
- a school
- 3 bars (4 if you include an ice cream place that has bar nights in the winter sometimes)
- a tailor
- a smokeshop

I'm sure more that I don't frequent. My building itself doesn't have a shop at the bottom, but most buildings around me do. The only necessities that I have to go further at all for are a pharmacy and a hardware store, and they're not far.

I wouldn't say I live in the middle of the city either, kind of on the edge of the "high density" area. As in where I am there are only apartments and businesses but if you go 2 blocks further away from the city center there are also single-family homes. And they benefit from the amenities provided by us apartment-dwellers as well.
It’s not that bad if you need to deploy at least 3 things and for most cases it beats the alternatives. You can get away with a bootstrapped deployment yaml and a couple of services for most scenarios. What should you use instead? Vendor locked app platforms? Roll out your own deploy bash scripts?

Sure the full extend of Kubernetes is complicated and managing it might be a pain, but if you don’t go bonkers is not that hard to use it as a developer.

I hope you realize that you're talking about a cheap SoC that was released in late 2022, and does not reflect currently announced RISC-V microarchitectures.

e.g. SiFive P870 is competitive with ARM's best, whereas Ventana Veyron V2 and Tenstorrent Ascalon/Alastor compete with the state of the art from AMD/Intel/Apple/Qualcomm.

RISC-V enables the best processors.

https://FreeSolitaire.win is a successful PWA of mine.

It’s a Klondike Solitaire game. It used to bring ~$500/mo of advertising revenue, but that’s significantly down these days: I refuse to have a cookie/consent banner, so I refuse customized ads (in the UE, in some US states now, &c.)

Players do add it to homescreen. There is a non-intrusive button prompting them to do so, at the end of a game. People like to be able to play offline.
Apart from that, I don’t use much PWA/browser features; no notifications, etc.

Someone engrossed in digital foolery not understanding how the real world works is so stereotypical I wonder if there's more to this.

My sense is that this would prevent 98% of papers in the social sciences from ever being published. How do you decide whether to renew a researcher's position when the average time to get a single paper through peer review is 5+ years (my average is 2-3 contract renewals per year)? This is not compatible with today's pace.

I am not saying that all this is a desirable situation. It is very unfortunate, and I wish there was an easy solution. My first research paper took 5 major revisions and 6 years to get through peer review. All the reviewers criticized was the wording and my unwillingness to conform to the accepted views in that particular community; I almost lost my job over this, but once the paper was accepted, it won several awards. All of this leads me to believe that peer review is very subjective and prone to error, and I don't have a solution for that.
I think it makes no sense to foam at the mouth about AI energy consumption when it's a drop in an Olympic-size swimming pool.

I also think it's just an angle for you people to attack a technology you dislike. just like anti-car zealots don't give a shit whether a car is ICE or EV and have seamlessly switched to preaching about 'walkable cities' instead of their previous rhetoric, you'll adopt some other rhetoric even when the models no longer require whole datacenters to train.
This sounds like they are a known figure in the project and are offered consultancy jobs. When I had a company that is what I did when I needed something fixed. It was not cheap either. The point being yes it is possible but it is not a bounty board like in the city town hall.

Claiming LLMs are manipulating 'high dimension concepts' not words when all they can do with these 'high dimension concepts' is outputting words is meaningless.
The starving, and heavily repressed citizens do not have access to the internet in NK. This attack did not affect any of them to any extent.

Whom it did affect a bit, hopefully, were the people complicit in the repressive dictatorship that runs the country.

The repressive dictatorship that engages in, among many other bad things, scams and online fraud to partially finance the country. For this they of course use the internet. So, taking them off-line for a week may have prevented someone from getting scammed. Good result.

The article/video actually touches on this:

I don’t know much about these kinds of apps, but when I visit your game page, I don’t see any way to actually add it to the homepage on my iPhone. Is this something that iOS doesn’t allow, or is there another way to do it? The game looks pretty cool though :)
Small models can't do impressive language corner cases. And the benefits of the models that can scale linearly while their cost grows geometrically.

Also claiming training costs are 'one off' when there's so much resources being poured into training new and bigger models is disingenuous.
Whenever this argument comes up it reminds me of how detached from reality HN is on this subject.

Customers want apps. Companies want apps. No one except us nerds want PWAs. We can talk about how PWAs are second class citizens and how unfair that is or we can remember that end-users _do not care_ about the underlying technology. We constantly make this mistake, customer don’t care what language you are using, they don’t care what framework you use, they don’t care about native vs web, they just want it to work.

I’ve been developing cross platform mobile apps (web, iOS, native) for around 15 years (Titanium, Cordova, and now Capacitor) and while the lesson has been painful: no one cares about PWAs. I will tell clients “you can go to <website> and see exactly what your app will look like once it’s packaged for the app stores” and they will simply wait for the native app instead. I’ve lost count of the number of times the code has been running on the web for weeks+ and it’s not till it’s in the stores that I get _any_ feedback (things they could have easily seen in the web version but didn’t bother with till it was an “app”).

You can complain about this, you can talk about how unfair it is, you can extol the virtues of PWAs but at the end of the day it just doesn’t matter. Customers have spoken, they want apps. I launched my current company as a website/PWA and all I got was a lot of heartache: “I can’t find it in the App Store”. Not a single person said “thank you for making this a website”. In fact, I get 1-2 complaints (from thousands of users) of “I don’t want to download an app” to which I tell them “you don’t have to, the website spells this out very clearly, you can use the website and/or save it to your home screen, no app install needed”. I tell that story to illustrate how few people even say they care, but also can’t grok that they don’t need to install an app. That “1-2” pales in comparison to the people who complained about it not being a “real app”.

So if you want to fight against native apps be my guest but you’re fighting a battle that customers do not care about (I cannot stress enough that: HN != normal customers) and they will not thank you for. Yes, the 15-30% “tax” can suck but 15% of $X is better than 0% of $Y. You will simply miss out on a large number of customers if you refuse to make an app.

No customer has ever cared if you use spaces or tabs internally and they don’t care if you provide a PWA, they just want open their platform’s App Store and search for your app. The ship has sailed on this topic and you can complain about it or you can live in reality and go to where your customers are, the app stores.

You can say this isn’t fair but as my dad used to say: the fair comes once a year and if you miss it, it’s your own damn fault.
For now I have tested the app with Samsung's and Google's TTS, and with these 2 it should work, I am investigating the problem and if possible I will add support for other TTS engines.
