I got the egyptian one right (all of them actually) and I was very confident of it despite not really knowing anything about heiroglyphics. The technique was simply, which one is more stereotyped? The AI one just has the classic figures and "heiroglyphs" and that's it. The real one has tons of detail - odd plants, a banquet, stacked pots, a king with a face that has personality. I look at it and am drawn into wanting explanations for the things in it. It's clearly the work on someone trying to tell a story, rather than trying to "look egyptian". The same basic idea worked for basically all the others - which photo has more odd, incidental, imperfect detail? The AI ones are "generic" in the same way ChatGPT prose is.
This is referencing 'exa', of which eza is a fork. Exa was unmaintained for about a year before it was marked officially deprecated by the only person with write permissions on the repository.

It has definitely been long enough now since the forking, where not everyone is aware of exa, and this language/intent is now far less clear. I see you are not the only one to comment on this, so I think it's time to update the phrasing.
Romney appeals to the sort of people who own multiple houses. Most Trump supporters are working class concerned about the price of groceries, who would probably be better served by a left-wing pro-labor politician but won't vote for one because they abhor the progressive social policies that get bundled with that in America. So they vote for the guy who plays lip service to their problems while talking smack about progressive social stuff.

Romney is politically obsolete. He serves no further purpose in American politics.

Green hydrogen infrastructure is not the barrier, at least not in the sense that most people think it. Hydrogen is very difficult/expensive to transport and store. So much so that local production is likely to be solution. IOW, the airport will require electricity and water infrastructure, and will create hydrogen at the airport. So the infrastructure that is required is having small-scale electrolysis equipment on the market.

This is true, but the converse isn't: you don't need wealth to have money. Just use your credit card instead.

A borrowed dollar spends just as well as a saved or earned one, which is why many confuse spending with wealth.

You are equivocating on the word "void". Your statement that "a variable of type void can't be occupied" is true in functional languages where "void/Void" is often used as the name of a type that isn't inhabited (assuming the language is sound/normalizing/whatever).

But here we are talking about C++, where "void" is a pseudotype that is absolutely inhabited, in some conceptual sense. Any function that is declared to return void and which returns is returning a thing that conceptually inhabits void. In this sense, std::monostate indeed captures the same concept as void, but in a much better way, because it's properly a type, not a pseudotype.

Note: Java does the same thing, effectively, with "Void" which is inhabited by exactly one value: null.

> In a Latin transcription, the Greek "u psilon" (simple u) may be written as either "u" or "y", without causing ambiguities.

There's no ambiguity if you already know whatever Greek word is at issue. But by that standard, there is also no ambiguity if you represent every Greek word with the spelling "x". If all you know is the transcription, "u" would be expected to correspond to Greek ου. This isn't really an ambiguity, but it will instantly become one if you start using "u" to correspond to υ as well.

> Latin "y" is normally preferable for writing Greek "u psilon", unless the discussion is about older attestations of words (like in Homer) or about the etymology of Greek words, when it is preferable to write "u psilon" as "u"

Well, the timing here is Hippocrates, who appears to be contemporaneous with "Thucydides".

It is an etymological discussion, but writing "muriochane" seems more like an attempt to intentionally obscure the root of "myriad" than an attempt to make it clearer.

Strong "Dropbox is just FTP/rsync, who would need that" vibes.

Look, I'm an SRE by heart and mind. I love tinkering with Linux, have around 10 different physical boxes (mostly Pi/NUC sized) running various distros for the fun of it.

Just because I want to and can doesn't mean everyone should DIY everything. For a random developer working on a business thing, or a side project, any time not spent developing is a time that doesn't bring any value - it doesn't help them advance on their work.

Managing a VPS is not trivial. Yeah, maybe you can get away with unattended upgrades and FTPing PHP files to it, if you're lucky. If you're not you'll pick the wrong VPS provider whose datacenter will go up in flames. Hope you remembered to do backups of everything.

Many tutorials/docs, and hell, whole pieces of software are "now draw the rest of the owl" style, with terrible security and reliability defaults. You cannot expect a random developer to be aware of the intricacies of what it means to not bind to localhost only (reminder that e.g. MongoDB used to by default to bind to all interfaces, and start without a password, so you got an insecure unauthenticated DB on the internet by default; another reminder that Docker automatically port forwards all your Docker containers' exposed ports to all networks, so same thing).

Yeah, it's not that hard, but you need a ton of knowledge to know how not hard it is, and even then there are caveats and tricks depending on a ton of things.

> but most people also don't need to use AWS ... that are another wrapper/layer and charge excessively

Yeah, this is bullshit. Yes, AWS is a wrapper around infrastructure, but unless your needs start and end with "VM with storage and a network", having pretty much any piece of software you can desire available at an API call with a clear billing structure is pure magic. How long will it take you to set up a a reliable object store? Message broker? Trace storage? PostgreSQL? All reliable, backed up, regularly updated, properly monitored. How much time will you spend in maintenance on all of those? A random small project probably doesn't need all of those, but arguing "most people" don't need AWS is like arguing "most people" don't need fancy high level languages which are just wrappers and should just code everything in assembly.

With an apparent sample size of 2, it seems really early to treat this as any sort of breakthrough. I'm particularly skeptical that they spent more effort gloating about the super natural no processed foods diet than they did about the actual medical processes that gave the results.

I can't access the discovery link from europe.

From your quotes, there seems to be an important difference: in the first quote they talk about "ideal human leg bones" and in the second one about a "typical human femur".

No you're not. You need at a minimum approximately $180,000 for a project with your expenses to be self-sustaining. With this burn rate, you'll end up asking for donations again in three years.

Further still, you'd need those reserves to grow at more than 2% per year, and more realistically somewhere much higher than that, just to ensure your donation reserves keep the project self-sustaining in the face of inflation.

Check out Google Cloud Run and Azure Container Apps for backends.

These have really generous free tiers. 180,000 vCPU seconds/mo, 360,000 GiB seconds/mo, 2m requests/mo. Resets each month.

The trick is that they scale to 0. So you can run a pretty sizable indie project/low volume internal tools for free. I run a bunch of stuff on GCR this way.
Water electrolysis will produce hydrogen. Of course then you also need to compress it. And the fuel cell itself is yet another even more woeful knefficiency. But maybe solar continues to get cheaper to the point where we don't care about the inefficiency. Not likely, not what I believe, but maybe it could work out. For a sea plane especially, it feels like you have what you need in abundance for this infrastructure: water, and open space for solar.

MIT also talked up a solar thermochemical hydrogen production system ~9 months ago, which claims a 40% efficiency. One still needs to compress that down but still a huge leap if that promise can be delivered on. https://news.mit.edu/2023/mit-design-harness-suns-heat-produ...

There is something really compelling about hydrogen, as the most energy dense fuel we can use, that is in mass abundance, that doesn't pollute. Conceptually it's very very cool. I'd love like heck to see X-33 or Venture Star designs dusted off with modern compositeaterial sciences, see something like Skylon make it to the sky. But it does seem incredibly cumbersome & hard & weighty to make infrastructure & fuel storage for. It doesn't seem likely. It seems like an illogical investment given the downsides difficulties & inefficiencies. But I still allow: maybe.

You didn’t say “someone wants to live next to you”. You said “build a house”. Presumably, this includes a “house” that can hold 1000 people at low rent. If it doesn’t (since that would undeniably destroy your property value), then you’re willing to impose regulations on the pretty deregulated picture you’ve painted. If it does, then you’re not going to find that many people who own property agree with you.

One impression I have about Hacker News is that it doesn't seem to censor articles that are critical of Y Combinator.

On one had, that surprised me because it would be so easy to do, and it's tempting for anyone in a position of power to just grab the censorship stick if it suits them.

On the other hand, ideas aren't in themselves dangerous. It's execution that's dangerous! If you have a better idea of how to do a startup or startups in general, I don't think Y Combinator is opposed. By the way he writes about startups, I think pg's attitude is something like, "the pie is big enough for everyone, and if you have a way to grow the pie, go for it."

What non-monetary risks of distribution does copyright hedge against? I can see risks of distribution like potential liability risks, but copyright doesn't seem to protect against this. I can understand how things like the GPL leverage the copyright systems to enact non-monetary restrictions, but in a world without the concept of copyright would something like that even be necessary?

As you say, removing your content from the public sphere is the only way to protect yourself from people using it in ways you object to. This would seem to be the case regardless of the state of copyright protection since people gonna do what people gonna do.
I did something similar to this using RAG except for Vampire rather than D&D. It wasn't overwhelmingly difficult, but I found that the system was quite sensitive to how I chunked up the books. Just letting an automated system prepare the PDFs for me gave very poor results all around. I had to ensure that individual chunks had logical start/end positions, that tables weren't cut off, and so on.

I wouldn't fine-tune, that's too much cost/effort.

> Async rust is horrible. Especially compared to futures / promises in almost any other language.

Having written a bunch of async code over 20 years (first exposure was twisted in the early 2000s and all sorts of stuff since - including manual function/stack wrangling on my own reactor), async in rust is like many other things in rust: It forces you to deal with the problems up-front rather than 6-12 months later once something is in prod. It helps to stop and understand why the compiler is yelling at you - for me anyway once I do grok that I'm glad I didn't have a repeat of $BUG_THAT_TOOK_DOWN_PROD_FOR_A_WEEK - that was a bad week.

It's not really in Rust (at least, not unless I choose to rewrite it in WASM), but there is one case where a lack of leap-second support has really been a thorn in my side. I've been working on and off on a JS web application that performs certain high-precision astronomical calculations, and leap seconds are a big challenge w.r.t. future correctness. Ephemerides don't change very much, but leap seconds can.

I can embed a big list into my application, but then I have to remember to periodically update it until 2035, or maybe longer if they decide to keep leap seconds after all. So I can try to download a leap-seconds.list from somewhere, except that only a few sources set "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *", and none promise to keep it set indefinitely.

The annoying part is, applications on both Windows (since 10) and Unix-like systems generally have access to up-to-date leap-second information; at worst, browsers can be expected to be updated regularly. But since the JS standards devs want to stick strictly to POSIX time, they provide no means to obtain this information from the inside, through Date, Intl.Locale, or the proposed Temporal.

This is all to say, I would really love to always have some way available to get "all leap-second info that the current system knows about, if it does have any such info". For its part, hifitime either downloads from a fixed URL (which doesn't have that Access-Control-Allow-Origin header IIRC), consults a fixed list, or gets the user to locate the info, which isn't nearly as general or foolproof as it could be.

> If you don't subscribe for the conspiracies, W Bush wasn't an awful president

I think he was still pretty awful; his administration basically banned stem cell research from happening in the US, he withdrew funding for anything involving climate change research, and he shares blame with Clinton for the 2008 housing crash. [1]

He wasn't quite as stupid as Trump, he didn't try and bribe a foreign official to investigate his opponents, and he didn't try and overthrow democracy with a violent mob, so I guess if that's our bar then he's pretty ok, but I think my standards are still higher than that.

[1] I'm aware that it was Clinton who signed the subprime mortgage stuff that caused it, so he definitely deserves a large share of the blame. However, the Bush administration sat on it and were happy to take credit for the short-term benefits until 2008, meaning that they weren't thinking about the long term consequences either, so I think they deserve a share of that blame too.

I recently tried to use Expedia to book a flight from Vancouver to Toronto on Porter Airlines because then I could use my TD Reward points.

The default prices that showed up in the results looked the same on Expedia or directly on Porter, so it didn't seem like I was losing anything.

Except that base flight included no carry-on and no checked-baggage, which I needed to do. On Porter directly fixing that cost an extra $40. Expedia said it cost $60.

For this particular flight I also needed to be able to make changes after booking. On Porter that increased the cost by $100. On Expedia, $150.

I still did it, cuz, y'know - points. But I shook my fist at Expedia the entire time.

- std::tuple<>
