I have one project that I am writing for fun. This is not work, not a job. Therefore I do not want it to remind of 'work'.

Whenever I see something wrong in app I write it on my phone, on note taking app. Note taking apps allow you to have freedom in syntax and style.

Most of the problems, some I would like to communicate to eventual people interested in project, are written as github issues.

There is no prioritization. I do whatever I like. It is a hobby project, not a work project. I daily drive my app, so I know I need to fix it, whenever it breaks.

I do not like paper notebooks, as it would have too many crossed-out points. I like to 'edit' in place.

I agree with you. People hate the powers of copyright until you give them some. Then they become even worse than Disney.
Can I say when you said “video game” am thinking arcade, dos, windows … or even mac (1984). Xwindows!!! … as someone said Sdl based … and unix curses based.

It is legitimate but by 1987 …
Shameless plug: try Latudio - https://www.latudio.com/ - we have a listening-only approach, but you can pause sentence anytime and tap on words to see the translation. I'd say give it a try and let me know if that works for you, I'd be happy to hear.
Good luck to you! I love marrying software with non-digital problems.

Believing that all legislative issues can be solved that way is a fallacies. But some issues can totally be solved (or routed around) this way.
But 19 years is so far beyond the support period of upstream projects, what happens when a bug is quantum-fuzzed out of 15yo software? Nobody from the project will care, and nobody's backporting modern fixes to software that old.

It's not enough to just apply patches as upstream releases them.

Is SUSE really going to take on full maintainership for all the software it redistributes?
> where you need a GB200 but can't house it?

density. Datacentre space is expensive. 9.6kw per machine means putting liquid cooling to the die, if we want to have more than 3 machines per rack. We've already lost a load of space in order to house an unspecified thousands of "h100"

We need to have some space left to put in storage, otherwise we're going to wasting power for funsies. We need that storage to be close, because otherwise it gets _really_ expensive and really slow quickly.
I prefer Atkinson dithering. I think it preserves more details when the resolution is very low. For more high resolutions floyd-steinberg is better though
They didn't get distracted by phones, the internet, or multitasking. When you sat in front of your computer, you could only do one thing at a time on it, and you dedicated all your attention to it. You didn't have a company chat or email window popping up notifications about irrelevant stuff, you didn't get the urge to look up random things on Wikipedia, etc. You probably also got to sit in a small room without a lot of distractions too, instead of sitting in a huge open-office area next to the sales group.
What other options are there though when the other side has zero interest in secularism and will do whatever they can to institute a theocratic government when given the opportunity?

Some (most?) forms of Islam are just not compatible with western style democracy and secularism. It’s unfortunate but I don’t really see any other realistic options of solving this besides “oppression”.

Some countries like Jordan kind of partially pulled it off but they had very specific conditions which can’t really be replicated elsewhere.
it sounds like implicitly passing the allocator as an extra parameter in every call would solve the problems you identify. if it's passed in a call-preserved register, it doesn't even make that implicit passing slower, because it requires zero instructions to not change the register before calling a subroutine

(when i've done similar things, it's been to pass an arena for inlined pointer-bumping allocation, a strategy widely used by runtimes that want to make allocation fast. normally this requires two registers, though chicken gets by with just one)

Can you explain what you mean by “ I used to think that alot of physics was bs until I found a tutorial on Box 2D physics.”? Do you mean you thought physics as in the description of the real world was bs? Or physics as in computer physics engines? Did you not believe the physical laws were properly describing the real world?
> before the plutos can amass power via fully automated factories

Fun science fiction but this idea that the rich could develop an entire self sustaining infrastructure to protect themselves from any leverage from the working class is completely infeasible.

Let's day a full automatic drone factory was built. Factories don't make their own tools and general parts, they don't mold their own screws and bolts, no, they source those. Even if they could, they'd need raw materials. So they'd need completely automated mines. Those mines would be on land that they'd own, but they'd have to physically defend it. So the scenario you're proposing is: fully automated mining, with fully automated defense measures, delivering raw materials to some fully automated smelter (all travel routes automatically defended against sabotage), this all to feed a factory that would churn out defense robots. It's completely circular and silly.
A more basic example would be wedding photos. Yes, you are getting married, but you don’t typically take ten minutes to put on your shirt.
If you have a large input that triggers a bug and you want to reduce it, it might be worth looking into the Delta Debugging[0] algorithm used by C-Reduce[1] to make minimal test cases for C-like languages. C-Reduce "happens to do a pretty good job reducing the size of programs in languages other than C/C++, such as JavaScript and Rust" so it might work out of the box for you. (Aside: there's also ddSMT for SMT solvers that take SMT-LIB2 input.)

My understanding is that you git repo would include a compression optimised binary.. rather than a list of text files.

A script to sort of ‘package to git’ and one to ‘unpackaged from hit’ would allow the text files to be more easily managed within git.
> When someone reads a book, watches a video, or attends a live training, the copyright holder gets paid

That's what copyright holders would like - hence why they try to restrict the licences so much these days.

It isn't the case. Many individuals can read, watch and listen to a work where only one payment has been made.

But really all the AI bots are doing is reading, watching and listening to the content and remembering it in pretty much the same way as a person does.

Is an artist who has listened to a bazillion blues numbers and then constructs a new song based upon what they have heard and ingested in violation of copyright?

If not, then neither is AI. It's just a probability matrix, not a replica.

If the AI people have paid the correct fee to listen, watch or read the material and then sell what they remember it is no different from any trained professional. The contract has been fulfilled.

The problem we have is that copyright holders have been dining off past glories for too long, and have gained the power to embed that rent for way longer than is sensible. What AI does is make those copyrights rot faster as it has a better memory than most people. That's good for society, because it forces copyright holders to produce more new stuff if they want to maintain their income.

A rebalancing away from rent seekers towards regular producers would be good for everybody.

Not really? Islamists in secular Muslim states are trying to overturn the secular legal all the time (and have succeeded on numerous occasions). Often they end up compromising and end up with a mixed system which is also far from ideal.
Clearly you don't understand Elon's Starlink. If they did nothing from today literally every satellite will re-enter and burn up of it's own accord within 5 years - not generations. They have to actively boost it keep it in orbit and counter the drag for the atmosphere. ( Which is quite different from most other satellites out there)
No. Starlink isn't 'filling the sky' — there's plenty of space left for everyone else, and they're not preventing anyone else from sending up satellites.

Also, the benefits of Starlink's satellites are immense.
*Farsi. Persia doesn't exist anymore. I find it strange that somewhat uniquely people refer to Iran by its ancient name. We're not speaking anglo-saxonish
I think things like the opioid crisis where doctors were getting outright bribes from pharmaceutical companies who knew they were killing people has done a massive amount of harm to the trust people had in medical science. It's been a problem for a long time, even going back to the tobacco industry hiring researchers to lie about the dangers of smoking. Those researchers didn't lose their jobs and become unhireable in their fields. They just went on to work for the oil companies to lie about how climate change isn't real and are now working for companies currently trying to convince the FDA about the safety of food additives.

Between corporations being able to buy whatever research they think will get them a favorable headline, peer reviewed journals accepting any paper if you pay them to publish it (this one being a personal favorite https://www.sciencealert.com/a-neuroscientist-just-tricked-4...), the reproducibility crisis more generally, the total lack of any meaningful consequences when companies are caught outright knowingly poisoning people or selling dangerous drugs, it's really getting harder to explain to people at the fringes like antivaxxers why they should have more faith in the data we have and on the systems put in place to protect them.

If the people aren't held accountable for causing harm and scientists don't do a much better job self-policing I think the situation is only going to get much worse. Even if things do change it will likely take generations to undo the damage already done.
thanks, this is fantastic!
I am my experience/expertise, not my notes, so I take a very natural (read: naive/undeveloped) approach

If I/my calendar/ticket queue didn't remember it, it wasn't worth remembering.

Obviously, this isn't perfect, all kinds of trivium is forgotten. I'm not concerned; the important parts are internalized. I'm not going to forget the concept of protocols or whatever

My bag of tricks is different from others. I might need to borrow/loan: as it should be

I do want to make a point to write more momentary snapshots. A blog is the immediate thought. The things I find important change, of course, so this would be a neat record/trend
For a newbie like me who isn’t like a software eng wizard but is willing to put an hour or two every day, is a project like this a great way for me to learn and contribute? Or is it still so pre-alpha that you need deep domain knowledge to contribute and have an impact?
Same reason you don't see AI making images in layers etc, its just much easier to train an AI that generate everything in one layer. Training a model with the same level of quality output that generates multiple layers is much much harder, and of course companies and users prefers the higher quality over having layers, especially since the quality you get with a single layer is still barely passable.
This will be very unpopular with the HN crowd, please please bear with me.

I really like e2e-encrypted communication. I also think that in the past decades, in general, most policies have erred too far on surveillance and too little on privacy

BUT

I also think that CSAM material on e2ee channels is a real problem.

If we, as the pro-privacy tech community don't come up with solutions, we'll lose the battle, eventually.

There'll come up a case of child exploitation or trafficing, somehow related to encrypted chats, and it'll be so horrific that the public will be swayed to action, and then what are the options? Is there any option besides client-side scanning or the end of e2ee?
In your last paragraph, are artists rent seekers and large companies that train AI producers? This is not how I feel when Google inserts its AI between my website and its readers.
I know.

What I’m saying is that this is here to stay and once fuel for keeping them in orbit is depleted they’ll be replaced - hence that whole mesh won’t go away.

He also made mistakes, like telling us masks didn't work to save stock, and then changing guidance when there was enough stock. It's ok, as we're saying here anyone is entitled some mistakes along the way, but nobody is perfect, and overall we got through the worst of it, so it wasn't that bad.
>If we’re going that far, wouldn’t one then logically assume that all US software has US backdoors?

Critical one probably has.

>What does that mean for other countries?

That if they are involved in an armed conflict with the US, they would be better off not having US software where they don't want the US to have presence.

Which brings us to where we started: the reason for the ban is that Russia has invaded Ukraine and is waging war there, and the US isn't on Russia's side.
> 1. The downstream users of your backend library can use ESM JS.

ESM code can use CJS packages.

TS compilation makes this possible already - e.g. I have authored API SDK packages that can be used in FE and BE code.

> 3. Static analysis tools can more reliably understand your dependency graph, e.g. find unnecessary code/modules/packages.

An earlier sibling comment mentions this - this is potentially a good reason but I need to do some benchmarking to see the actual impact (would make for a good blog post one day) :)

On the topic of how overexercise can damage the heart by James OKeefe, a cardiologist and lifetime obsessive runner:
Notably he points out that they tested people blood after doing long distance events and found that many of them had chemicals usually found in heart attack victims, indicating heart damage.
Basically he says that the long term overexercise/heart damage means the heart muscle constantly has microtears which heal up and the healed tissue is scar tissue which is hard and not like normal heart tissue - much harder and less elastic. So people who overtrain end up with a heart much older than their physical age.

Of course it stays encrypted - if it is sent e2e encrypted, it cannot be decrypted by the servers in the middle - it's the whole point of e2e encryption.

imo the protection is real and a good tradeoff for a research project to become a mass medium (i.e. clients usually don't want incoming connections from the internet[1])

don't get me wrong, i like a global address space as much as the next internet native, but it's not for everyone to pay the price for it and nat makes it easy to opt-out of a large portion of the problem space.

This is so common I think it could just about be a lemma:

> If the AI people have paid the correct fee to listen, watch or read the material and then sell what they remember it is no different from any trained professional. The contract has been fulfilled.

I'd like to point out that this is indeed how it works legally in Singapore already. If you have legal access to a copy of the material, you can do various things such as make backup copies, and yes, train AI on it. This excludes pirated or hacked materials. And the owner is not allowed to stop you by using a TOS.

It's the same for the EU, but over there they allow TOS exclusions for commercial training.
This is good information - thank you. I would need to do some benchmarks to measure the impact - might make for a nice blog post in future! :)
> OTH radars are almost all fixed

Given their strategic advantage, you can bet the military will have prioritised steerable.

I disagree with the general premise regarding global coverage. With the US military, capabilities, especially in surveillance, have historically been shown to be decades ahead of what the public thinks is possible.

Personally, if a post appeared tomorrow showing some HN had figured out how to trace the movements of any airliner, without using its adsb and relying instead on anything and everything else that's publicly available, from satellite imagery, to radio frequency data, to radar, even weather data (contrails are often detectable), it would seem cool, sure - but, not unbelievable.

That hypothetically believable scenario would be one person, with no budget, in likely a few weeks or months of their spare time.

The US military has trillions of dollars, the best talent in the world, and decades of dedicated effort in exactly this area, and a propensity to keep such advances secret for decades (as shown recently enough by the Trump photo).
Yeah absolutely. You’d certainly need solar power on your devices, and the more data processing they’re doing the more battery and solar power you’ll need.

So you’d centralize the more intensive processing on a unit with more power, and have smaller node devices on the plants doing simpler tasks - just reading from sensors and uploading data, and/or receiving commands to switch things on/off. They’d be solar powered too but the batteries and solar panels can be smaller.

These are all the trade offs you’re constantly working with in this game.
Is that a method anyone has ever used to distribute paid, multi-GB software (or ever will for that matter)? I’m pretty sure Kaspersky is fully closed source anyways. This argument seems really roundabout and ineffective.
So democratically abolishing democracy?

> respect the will of its citizenry, whatever it is

How do you define that? Is it always what the majority decides? What if the liberal secular government knows that going along with the will of the people will result in a minority of the population losing most of their rights and potentially suffering extreme oppression?

One could could assume that after learning what happened in Germany in the 30s (and some other comparable situations) most people would agree that even liberal states need to draw a line at some point.
Liberal democracies are relatively new, but the process of deciding norms that satisfy different groups with conflicting interests is as old as the human history.

In Italy, for example, it's already like that: legislative proposals that are not approved by the parliament lapse at the end of the legislative term.

Laws are not simply voted by the parliament, presenting them it's a process per se, with its specific rules.

Throughout history many tricks have also been developed to work around the limitations of the system, for example presenting the same law with slightly different wordings or use amendment bombing to block some proposal ad libitum (in Italy this happens a lot, there have been examples of software programs written specifically to do that: emit an infinite number of amendments so that they would never run out of them)

Of course if some group is really determined or bears enough power it can push its own agenda while smaller less powerful ones can have a very hard time to get attention, even if their proposals are good. It's not ideal, but democracy it's a process to find tradeoffs, usually not the best one, but the lower common denominator one.
There’s a surprising amount of vocabulary difference across Czech and Slovak, in addition to the pronunciation differences you mention. Pre-split everyone on both sides grew up hearing bilingual broadcasts, so they picked up the differences ambiently. I’ve heard that it’s a lot less of a given whether the younger generations presumptively understand each other these days. But I’ve also seen evidence that many still choose to engage with people / content / opportunities on the other side enough to get to solid working familiarity anyway.

This comes from limited first-hand experience and more extensive second-hand cross-generational experience. Take it as you will.

Framework announced the RISC-V laptop just recently, which is really fucking on a raspberry PI-like single board computer on the their chassis.
