You've hit the nail on the head. Its good at designing. But you can see from the visual quality of the examples that its not ready to be used as final content. No AI content I've seen is really ready to be used as a final piece, It shouldn't only ever really be the basis for something. I have no issues with an AI generated piece being used as a "sketch" or a "storyboard" but using it for a final product is just... lazy and looks crap?
Is your market full of competition making you look bad? Do your efforts seem like a pitiful token, more an excuse for investor fleecing than an actual effort, in comparison to those of others?

The Government can help! It's not "racketeering" and "restraint of trade" when the Government does it!
You have it backwards.

The beloved projects were already successful without those paychecks, hence why those companies took an interest in them in the first place and didn't (at least publicly) try to create their own alternatives knowing that they wouldnt be able to compete.

Since the companies have been in the extend phase of their EEE logic, their contributions to open source have been helpful, granted.
Modern Cryptography on the NES
This is a 2D simulation with only self-collisions, and not collisions against external geometry. The author suggests a simulation time of 16ms for 14000 particles. State of the art physics engines can do several times more, on the CPU, in 3D, while colliding with complex geometry with hundreds of thousands of triangles. I understand this code is not optimized, but I'd say the workload is not really comparable enough to talk about the benefits of CPU vs GPU for this task.

The O(n^2) approach, I fear, cannot really scale to much beyond this number, and as soon as you introduce optimizations that make it less than O(n^2), you've introduced tree search or spatial caching that makes your single "core" (WG) per particle diverge.
You can argue divine right of kings or white supremacy from political necessity.

Some kind of systems to allocate scarce resources is needed. This doesn't have to be property. Access to e.g. the moon and earth's orbits and international waters and polar regions have systems of allocation, but they are not property.
At least crate a YouTube channel as a archive and upload the videos there. Will mantain te brand presence, avoid some backlash, and maybe earn some money with ad revenue.
That sounds like a nice exercise for yourself, but I don't really see it competing with other privacy-focused or open source social media (which there are already many, you might want to drop the clickbaity "first-ever" bit from the title).

> One possibility is to use massive conveyor belts to cover the 500-km (310-mile) distance between the two cities, running alongside the highway or potentially through tunnels underneath the road. Alternatively, the infrastructure could simply provide flat lanes or tunnels, and the pallets could be shifted by automated electric carts.

what does "low-dependency" mean here?
I have Kasa Smartbulbs (KL110) for bedside and couch-side lamps. They claim 2700K, and while I don’t have a way to measure that, they feel pretty similar to incandescents. They’re also extremely dimmable, which was my main reason for getting them. At the lowest setting, they claim 10 lumens, which is roughly equivalent to a candle. Two of them in the living room at a low-moderate brightness are plenty for evening relaxation.
Yes, the data is limited. We plan to 10x it over the next month.

And, we have had some people request API access today so we are discussing it. (If you’re also interested, please email me.)
So put a sorting conveyor belt at the end of a train line?

I could see a conveyor if and only if it saves a bunch of complexity at source /destination, or if it can be built in places that would be much more expensive to make trainlines. After all trains are just concentrated cargo, and are therefore much heavier.
Your comment reminded me of college when they taught us: you don't ride in an elevator with a nitrogen tank because it can displace the oxygen in seconds.

Agreed, they also calculate in “future profit” in the valuation and so you need to always hit your targets.
This is nihilist thinking. There is no complete barring access to capital, even in the 19th century "middle class" loans were possible.

Today access to capital is as easy as it ever was (except maybe '06). The people who take risks are rewarded and there are countless stories of people moving out of middle class.
Agree with most of the comment, just to point out (I could be misremembering) 4-wide SIMD ops that are close together often get pipelined "perfectly" onto the same vector unit that would be doing 8- or 16-wide SIMD, so the difference is often not as much as one would expect. (Still a speedup, though!)
A "Turing Test" case study
I appreciate the direct nod to security. But as written I doubt it's enough. The goal is to "enable" secure programming, and C already meets that goal since it is theoretically possible. The problem is that busy human developers are not good at being perfect. There are far more ways to get things wrong, and minor mistakes become far more serious problems in C and C++ compared to other languages. I do wish the group good luck!!
That is really cool! I love that people are actively working on these devices. It’s a field that doesn’t get that much attention.
This is great. It reminds me of something that was released circa 2000-2005, when there were more experimental fun things online.
Enslaving half of the world also played a slight part in that uniqueness.
I love this sort of nitty gritty article with good details. That said it would be more convincing if the writer followed the maxim of Chesterton’s Fence: if design-build is a better process than design-bid-build, why was the latter law created in the first place? It is almost certain that something went wrong when design and build were bundled.
Designing a car is the easy part though. Rimac makes luxury cars, you don't need mass production to make a profit on those.
Reasonable parties would have found a way to come to an amicable agreement that wouldn’t have destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars of value, like exchanging lands and offering compensation.

Ask HN: Need Advice:RTK Query with Redux vs. React-Query with Zustand
Hello Everyone,

I'm currently building a chatbot using NextJS, and I've been using Redux with Redux Toolkit (RTK) for state management. So far, I've only implemented slices and haven't included any caching mechanism.

As my project grows, I'm planning to implement RTK Query for caching and infinite scrolling. However, I've also come across React Query with Zustand as a potential alternative.

I'm particularly concerned about future scalability and the ability to handle API requests efficiently. Given these considerations, I'm looking for advice on the following:

1. How does RTK Query compare to React Query in terms of performance and scalability?

2. Are there any significant advantages of using Zustand over Redux for state management in this context?

3. Any potential pitfalls or challenges I should be aware of with either approach?

4. What are some best practices for implementing caching and infinite scrolling with these libraries?

I'd appreciate any insights, experiences, or recommendations you can share. Thank you!
This is a bit of a tangent but it always annoys me when content has no published date next to it. There's a tiny "last updated" date at the bottom. But how do we know if this is a new article or one from a few years back? With technology moving so fast it can significantly change the context in which you read an article.
And it's not like the U.S. and Germany were at war.

Firstly PRISM was found unlawful. It violated FISA.

Secondly, Stating spying Merkel and tapping her phone was legal is simplfying the issue greatly. It may be allowed by US law yet as was stated at the time, observing German Law on German soil may still mean it was an illegal act. As it was found in the investigation into the spying scandal that there were US spys working on German soil, it was therefore illegal. Therefore some think it exceeded the NSA's authority, which is nil in Germany.
This also refers to spying on other nations being fair game, not following a countries law on their soil does not make it fair game, it makes it an illegal act.

In regards to the many operational details leaked, the focus of that was to determine if or not their methods of spying are legitimate. These tools and procedures can on the surface have legal methods yet still be used in illegal methods, so it isn't as simple as saying they didn't think they exceeded the NSA's authority.

So far this is not my HN experience. But there are many things one can spend time with. Reading web site might not interest all I admit.
If the trucks are used for last mile, as long as you have the same number of end destinations, don't you still need roughly the same amount of trucks? I'm assuming in trucking short-haul the largest amount of times are in receiving / dropping cargo and shortening the distance by 100 km doesn't make much difference but maybe it does?

In my mental model the trucks just have to go "somewhere else" to pick up the cargo, which might be a bit closer, but that's it?
Thanks a lot. This is very clear.

Examine your definitions of politics and morality. Morality encompasses all actions made by actors with (presumed) free will.

"God given" means "natural". [Natural rights does not require a god](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_rights_and_legal_right...)

And if your argument ("... god given ... atheist ... etc.) can be copy-pasted into a valid defence of arbitrary evil (I like to use Hitler for a concrete example, but avoid it in public because some subset of people erroneously thinks that is an automatic fallacy), then it is trivial in the sense that it doesn't add anything to the discussion, regardless of your opinion or pov.
Omg! We have this exact functionality nowadays in emacs with which-key (which incidentally is going to be included as part of core emacs in the next version), so I guess wordstar is where the idea originally comes from! That's so interesting :D
Like the other poster wrote, it is time dependent.

The stuff that went into dumpsters in the 1990s can sell for thousands today on eBay. But in 30 years, they might be dumpster bound again.

It's also kind of a humorous jab in that it's named "Open".

Yes.

Raphtory: Temporal Graph Analytics
Have you seen the automated sorting and distribution in a amazon warehouse? And yes, those are complex machines, but this way to build a logistics hub is way superior to 1:1 cranes. There is a difference between squential arrival and non-blocking sorting to various hubs to process. And arrival and blockign sequential move to a truck.
For what it's worth, I haven't run into any limitations while using the API side. Although I also haven't really had to use it so extensively that it would be a problem.
Or : measure twice, cut once for all us woodworkers.
The problem is to move small cargo between Tokyo and Osaka (500 km).

They end up choosing rail or light rail. Other options are just early spitballing for PR like they always do. They might go for narrow rails if land use is important. Steel rolling on steel track is just too good solution for that distance.

Other proposals like carts on a tunnel, converter belts are too slow or too expensive if fast enough.
Having small carts move on wheels just wears down the wheels in no time. Same for conveyor belts.
The cost of rail per km is cheaper than alternatives. They may end up loading wheeled carts on the train and wheel them off at destination, but they don't run them for 500 km.

The all other options listed are just for show and PR.

We broke major safety rules doing the opposite. Carrying various steel tanks up stairs that were way too heavy for two, under-gymed, college students, one step at a time, resting the tank on every step while half of it cantilevered over the edge, as we hand-stabilized it...

I wanted to avoid thinking about that failure mode where you accidentally cleave some part of the gas regulator by damaging it, and that turns the tank into a cold-gas rocket motor. We were shown pictures of the aftermath of those lab accidents—I think there was one were a tank embedded itself into a ceiling?

edit: Now I remember the follow-up—after a professor witnessed us, they showed us the correct method. It was simply to send the tank up in the elevator unattended—one undergrad pushing the "up" button and stepping out, the other waiting for it on the destination floor. Stupidly simple.
The article does say "draft outline of an interim report" produced by a think-tank inside a government department. The government clearly likes the principle of the idea if they've announced it, but reading the article makes it clear that haven't got anywhere near the stage of deciding what form it'd take, only that they want to do something along these lines.

Normally with infrastructure projects, the next steps would be to invite civil engineering companies to produce plans of what might actually be feasible to construct, and they will do their concept art at that stage, and then the government will select from those ideas what they want to pursue, and then put that out to tender to different companies.

Of course, the project may be cancelled way before then when they realise it's probably too expensive.
Is IP on names also a huge drag? Would it be beneficial to the mankind if I—or anyone—were able to just make their own Linux or Nginx, with no relation to the group that originally made it?

Arguably "first come, first serve" policy on names per domain is a good one and serves to reduce confusion.
With all the recent research effort for self-driving cars, I wonder if there are also projects for self-driving rail cars that could cover the "last miles" to the destination without being part of a train. Of course, one problem is that in the last decades, most companies that might benefit from something like this were built on sites without rail connection...
I think intellectual property is necessary given the current way the economy works. But we should strive for evolving how the economy works.
Still have the loading from train to sorting container. But yes, if that could be automated efficiently, it would indeed be a good solution.
> what good are these inquiries that span years until they fade out of public interest

That appears to be the purpose of these inquiries. They very slowly and methodically move forward until the public are either forgetting about the issue or "let bygones be bygones". Until then anyone who should be held accountable (criminally or politically) can answer that they cannot comment on the matter while the inquiries are ongoing. (which is in itself a way to ice the discussion while making it appear as if the person asking the question is out of order, and not the person not answering them) It is a delaying tactic by powerful people against less powerful in the society. Change my mind if you can.
> It also won't be optimizing other loops that you want it to optimize. Turns out it's a tradeoff and lots of people choose C and C++ exactly because of this focus on speed..

Hmm, could possibly include optimization flags directly into the source code (would be clearer and less compiler mess perhaps). I could also see this causing other issues...

Show HN: Raycast extension for relaxation through breathing
An extension for relaxation through breathing

Various methods and practices exist to induce profound relaxation through breathing. By pausing your breath, you enhance oxygenation within your body. If you've had a challenging day, square breathing is a great way to focus. Multitasking and busy schedules can be exhausting for the brain and leave you feeling foggy and unfocused.

Taking a Break

It's important to take a short break and clear your head before returning to your regular tasks. A visual aid isn't necessary, but it can provide a point of focus while you learn this new breathing technique.

Here's how it works:

Breathe in for a count of 4, visualizing one side of a square.
Hold your breath for a count of 4, visualizing the second side of the square.
Breathe out for a count of 4, visualizing the third side.
Fourth side - Hold your breath again for a count of 4, completing the square.

Such cycles should be repeated for 1-3 minutes, but preferably 4-5 minutes. This technique is designed to help you relax after a long day, or before/after a challenging task or conversation.

On a personal note, I've found the Calmaria app (https://calmaria.app/) incredibly useful before bedtime. It has a wonderful interface and animations, and it truly helps me relax. Give it a try and see if it works for you too!

The article doesn't go into pointers to interfaces, which is a place of many footguns. It also leaves out generics. Suppose I have this structure:

type State[TValue cmp.Ordered, TCost any] interface {
TransitionTo(context Context[TValue, TCost], value TValue) State[TValue, TCost]
... other methods

where Context is also a generic interface. I should add a TContext generic type to State instead of casting it inside my State implementation. It definitely leads to a proliferation of generic types being required on all methods that touch these things. I used to use Go for its terseness. Generics make it much less terse, but I like what they enable.
Maybe C will finally get slices.
This statement keeps getting postulated here and I still don't buy it.

The economy is NOT 0 sum. Inequality in itself doesn't doesn't do anything bad.

IMO it is a low value argument to state that we could fix world problems by removing "inequality". I'm happy to be proven otherwise.

For its internal purposes the Court can certainly make any voting rules it wants. But I'd submit that Congress has the power (under the Exceptions and Regulations Clause) to limit what external effect is to be given to Court votes that don't rise to a congressionally-specified threshold.

I’m not able to find any court ruling which said this. PRISM still operates today. I believe some investigations found that there were “some” violations of section 702 but nothing systemic enough to warrant curtailing the program.

I mean, I personally think it’s unlawful. But I don’t think it was ever legally determined to be.
