The approach the ST took with the original "Shifter" chip of just doing video as memory mapped raw bitmap barely squeaked out for games. Frame rates were pretty bad. 8mhz 68000 and that bus speed wasn't responsive enough to really kick it. That era still really needed dedicated blit HW support. (As the Amiga showed). But that approach only really mattered until clock speeds went up and memory became slower than CPU speed.

It's a shame the Blitter chip that came with the STe never shipped with the original ST (wasn't ready in time) and just never really got large market penetration after that. It was actually a decent design.

The STe feature-wise is quite competitive with the Amiga overall, while keeping the simplicity of the ST's architecture. There just wasn't enough of them shipped for software houses to bother making games that used it.

That, and I have a couple Atari Falcon 030s here, and they're really amazing. They really nailed it with that machine, before packing it in.

Better (and very good) video modes, amazing sound, onboard 56k DSP chip & S/PDIF audio, both IDE & SCSI drive support, 68030 processor, up to 14MB RAM.

Indeed, C++ is different from most languages (other than C) because "knowing C++" does not mean just knowing syntaxis and standard library API but implies understanding of how the source code is turned into bytes inside an executable image. A Python or Java or whatever programmer could be writing books and praised as the language expert without slightest idea how is memory allocated, a C++ programmer who does not know that is probably going to work in some legacy shop supporting an ancient MFC/Qt data-entry app.

It harms loading times, which harms smoothness/fluidity.

Welcome KamranKowsari, perhaps could you read the guidelines before submitting again. Specifically:

Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

This is a few too many submissions for/about universityCube, the community doesn't usually react favourably.

Extended, this is how we shut down our economic engines until we all starve.

The problem is the acceptance of an adversarial nature in the relationships of economic actors. Yes, locally optional and "rational" in a mind destroying manner, so on, and so forth...

Doctorow says just pick the right side side of the scaled adversarial conflict.

It turns out we need to stop being adversarial but that's a hard coordination problem. The scalable and acceptable solution to that is the next industrial revolution scale advancement.

Ask HN: What does your dev team look like?
I am looking for anecdotes and stories on team layout, responsibilities, and interactions within the team.

What do you feel works? What is broken and why?

Do you feel your team is on track to complete its goals? Do you know what those goals even are?

I'm asking because I was recently asked how I would spin up a new dev team from scratch. Mostly the subject was restricted to development tools and practices, but I was more fascinated by the idea of creating a new team and assigning the roles for people.

I've also been reading a lot about naval combat in World War II, and how various organizational deficiencies in the US and Japanese navies led to losses and setbacks. This got me thinking about how in the military you have people trained specifically to be leaders.

Do you have people in your team who fall into the Lieutenant role? Sergeant? Do you feel they are in the wrong role, or are they trying to be both sergeant and lieutenant?
The idea of skipping maintaining a REST API is cool, but it only works (in a normal project) for some specific use cases; most of the time, having a regular endpoint in a REST API is more accessible to implement.
I am saying there are use cases for server actions and some perks, but the future is still with classic requests to endpoints, and "server actions" are more a tool than a standard.

I think collision detection is solvable. And the scanning process should be no harder than 3D modeling to the same quality level. Probably much easier, honestly. Modeling is labor intensive. I'm not sure why you say "there’s no scanner available that provides both good 3-D information and good photo realistic textures" because these new techniques don't use "scanners", all you need is regular cameras. The 3D information is inferred.

Lighting is the big issue, IMO. As soon as you want any kind of interactivity besides moving the camera you need dynamic lighting. The problem is you're going to have to mix the captured absolutely perfect real-world lighting with extremely approximate real-time computed lighting (which will be much worse than offline-rendered path tracing, which still wouldn't match real-world quality). It's going to look awful. At least, until someone figures out a revolutionary neural relighting system. We are pretty far from that today.

Scale is another issue. Two issues, really, rendering and storage. There's already a lot of research into scaling up rendering to large and detailed scenes, but I wouldn't say it's solved yet. And once you have rendering, storage will be the next issue. These scans will be massive and we'll need some very effective compression to be able to distribute large scenes to users.
The argument is that burying things like plastics in a landfill is better than natural equivalents. Which you still seem impossibly locked into ignoring.
It's not really "fanatic". The minimalism has a purpose: less transistors so less power, smaller size and cheaper. The previous designs from Moore focused on speed at the time when MIPS was what people were looking for (e.g. the F21 [1])

I can see this chip being used instead of "system on chip" (SoC) designs. Namely GA144 + a general purpose processor (if the "business logic" of the application is too large/complicated for a GA144).

When you look at typical ARM-based SoCs, a lot of the integrated controllers are just bit-banging stuff from and to peripherals. But this is all carved in silicon, and to maximize flexibility you have a lot of additional complexity (both for the chip and the programmer) for configuration. Plus, because those chips are often used in mobile computing, you have a lot of complexity to power up and down unused parts.

It seems to me that a GA144 or two, you have more flexibility (because it's all software) and low-power usage (due to its design). What this chip probably needs is libraries to talk to common peripherals (I2C, SPI, SSC, SD card controlers, LCD controlers, flash controllers...).

Sigh. OK, I tried.
Likely that is a factor, but people communicate social status and identity in so many different ways, which often appear meaningless or even absurd to people outside their perceived peer group, that I think it would be a mistake to discount the idea. (I recall one person I used to know who certainly did have opinions about the kinds of cars she would and would not prefer to be seen arriving in, regardless of who was driving or who owned the vehicle.)
Really? Because I don’t see how one could argue that in context.

Or any of a million other basic ‘background’ things we use or interact with daily? Like hell, computers?

And thats even ignoring that crude oil is a natural substance that even seeps from the ground on it’s own in many places.
In general, I agree,
I have two cases where mixing server and client is a good idea.
1— When you have a heavy NPM package, and you are using just a small portion of it, for example, charts libraries, if you render the HTML in the server, you can send only the HTML to the client instead of sending the entire package and waiting for a client to do the rendering.

If you just use it in the browser, <svg> is all you need. The browser is smart enough to parse it as SVG based on the context (e.g. if it's embedded inside HTML, if it's linked from an <img>, or if it's served as Content-Type: image/svg+xml). And you can omit the version.
As a chemist I know what coumarin is but had no idea of its place in the chemical industry, least of all as a substitute for vanillin which looks nothing like it. Often, two molecules that are just sliiiightly different will have entirely different functions. Here, two molecules that are completely different can be substituted in some capacity.

But, damn, what a fine piece of writing. A seamless connection of facts and reminiscences all taking me somewhere. The author tells his family's and their extended family's story, without all the contortions and schnookery involved in "telling a story" in our marketing-besotted culture.

"Touching the product makes it different" is a remarkable turn of phrase.
People are reading way too much into my comment here. I agree with you, it's idealistic and that was actually my point. It's not going to happen and, for better or worse, I don't think most people want it to.

That said, you have no way of really knowing how poverty or starvation would change. There isn't even enough context here to attempt to estimate such a thing and doing so isn't useful.
> Banks can create money out of nothing to enrich themselves, but libraries can't lend out more books than they have to enrich society?

Others are enriched by the made up money the banks lend out, too. The people who buy homes, start businesses, go to college, etc.

You may enjoy Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay which pokes fun at what you’ve mentioned.

>”It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of Usa has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber.

Carson's incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization.”
There's more to it than just energy. As a practical matter, nutrient quality is tremendously important. Some animals, particularly ruminants (cows), are able to convert low-quality plant matter into high-quality easily digestible protein with amino acid ratios that closely match what humans need. It's the bacteria in their guts that perform the conversion. We can certainly get what we need from plant sources but this requires careful meal planning to obtain the right amounts of essential amino acids without exceeding energy balance.

> Afghanistan was relatively open during US and USSR occupations

Coincidentally in both cases the administrations propped up by US/USSR were thoroughly corrupted, incompetent and abusive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi) so that even the Taliban became relatively appealing to most people.

> Iraq after occupation was relatively open, yet ISIS ideology took off

That was to a large degree just the extension of the whole Shia vs Sunni conflict/civil war which began immediately after the invasion.

Also I'm not sure what do you mean by "open" in all of the cases (besides post 2001 Afghanistan) the countries we ran by semi-secular authoritarian dictatorships which kept the Islamists in check. Most of the population would have (and eventually did) supported them if they were given a choice (like in Egypt).
Yes, and the only way to fix the monopsony is for creators to own their own distribution channels so they can sell directly to their customers instead of selling to middlemen who take the vast majority of the profits and pay them peanuts.
Lol what? Maybe back in 2007 before the crash that ruined tons of Spanish construction companies and investment in real estate. Otherwise the US builds a lot, and apparently Barcelona still doesn't build enough.
That's one highly plausible possibility, but I also think they could be something else e.g. people just not liking AI aesthetics.
As always, there’s a relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2933/
Most of my personal projects haven't had any state that needs to be managed server-side: any needed data is either static or can be pulled from "someone else's" unauthenticated API. Which is how I prefer it, since all incoming data from users is a big liability these days.
I've been on the web since late 1993. It feels great to bookmark and that's the most useful part of bookmarking. Organizing bookmarks is an odious chore with negative return...If I have to search my bookmarks, it is faster and more efficient to search the web.

Saving bookmarks feels productive, it isn't. It is just easier than doing the thing I am saving them to do.

To put it another way, not organizing bookmarks is not a moral failing. Good luck.
The idea would be that language first evolved as a mechanism for thought and only later became used for communication. Spoken language would still be connected to the underlying mechanism though.
This is a good answer and one I've put into practice successfully more than once. Automated tests are very key here.

Yes, we have a legal process for inheritance.

What I meant was beyond that. You can't slander a dead person, for example. However it appears that this may not be as clear-cut as I had thought, for example if there is an Estate that is continuing to earn income from the assets of the deceased person, then there may be a basis for the Estate to sue for damages if a slander or libel reduces those earnings.

So, I (somewhat) stand corrected. At least in the case of someone like Tupac.
I've noticed it's something a lot of Rust programs describe themselves as. Implying that software written in other programming languages is somehow vintage or obsolete, I guess.
I find language to be worse for abstract thought. Abstract thought to me is shapes and transformations. I then have to put words to them, "Imagine there is a ball here and another ball here and..."

I can imagine things transformating in space much faster than thinking it in words.
If economic value is defined through markets, how then does one argue against markets' ability to assign value? What words should be used other than value?

Fahrenheit. When subtracting two quantities the result has the same unit, we just use Kelvin because it's the appropriate SI unit.
Silver is uniquely non-toxic among heavy metals. You can consume a lot of it without consequences. Some people do, look up "colloidal silver".

However, it also has a long elimination half-life, and it can stain the skin.
I don't know but the streaming market is growing [1], and more since 2016. A growing market means more opportunities and the streaming market doesn't seem like a monopoly so all competing players are helping in the grow and several will benefit. More challenges and more opportunities. Also, standards are great for that industry.

> artists don't serve any valuable role in society

I assume then that you don't listen to any music, don't watch TV or movies, don't read any books, don't have any pictures on your walls, live in a concrete box with no artistic design applied, and so on? In other words, that you get no value from art in any form?
That's a weak defense when its obviously beneficial for marketing to claim 16 of X, instead of 8 improvement. Which at the end isn't even that if I understood the claims correctly.

95% of the world population uses Celsius scale, all scientists and military use it too, and ignoring units when having bombastic claims is either negligence or more probably on purpose.

I am pretty sure the team (and subsequently company/companies) behind it is not limiting itself strictly to US market and willingly ignoring rest of the world, when there are countries with much bigger heat issues than US.

My parents had a floor plan of our house drawn up for some reason, and when I was in late middle school I found it and modeled the house in the hammer editor so my friends and I could play Counter Strike source in there.

It wasn't very well done but I figured out how to make the basic walls and building, add stairs, add some windows, grab some pre existing props like simple couches beds and a TV, and it was pretty recognizable. After adding a couple ladders to the outside so you could climb in the windows or on the roof the map was super fun just as a map, and doubly so since I could do things like hide in my own bedroom closet and recognize the rooms.

Took some work since I didn't know how to do anything but totally worth it. I feel like there has to be a much more accessible level editor in some game out there today, not sure what it would be though.

I thought my school had great architecture for another map but someone rightfully convinced me that would be a very bad idea to add to a shooting game. So I never made any others besides the house.

Yeah i didn't specify, i think it is the "Modern Operating Systems". I read it in Greek and I don't remember the title, maybe the title was translated a little bit different. It was not the Minix book, i have not read that unfortunately.

Now however, i am sold on the idea of the Lisp Machine. Hopefully some day a lisp OS and hardware will be a viable way to use a computer.
Why southern Europeans will soon be the longest-lived people in the world
Slavs moved into Southern Balkans/Macedonia approximately 900 years after Alexander the Great. The claim that there is any connection between him and the current inhabitants of the region is laughable.
I see this as an almost scientific/scholarly exercise in modeling. While the author seems not to start with any intent to "do science" he or she tries to capture a concrete phenomenon abstractly in order to study it more closely, which is arguably at the heart of science or at least some of the sciences.

The post is "almost" scholarly because it does not try to look into what others did before or currently, eg. prior attempts at notation of dance. I would be very surprised if there weren't any. Modeling cultural practices is also somewhat of a hot topic in the so called "Digital humanities" for what that is worth. A quick search for example brought up this article which talks about Dance Studies and attempts at digitization:

Nerve is a tool that creates stateful agents with any LLM — without writing a single line of code.

Based on those figures, 500k is a rather large number. Maybe some of those 500k are duplicate scans?
