> Because you're allowed to tactical nuke your own country (IANAL)

This isn't really a domain where the written rules are important in the sense that you can lawyer your way out of trouble with some textual technicality. There's no relevant court and your actions are judged by your opposition, who might consider what you say in defense of yourself but might also decide you're too dangerous to live, let alone listen to. When surface penetrating nuclear warheads are hollowing out your government bunkers in a retaliatory decapitation strike, your pleas of "but the laws and treaties didn't say I couldn't" will fall on deaf ears. Of course, maybe NATO would decide that the risk of ignoring you is less than the risk of taking you out, as they presently do, but similarly you need to consider if the risk of ignoring whatever provocation prompted you to consider using nukes is less than the risk of retaliation. It's a game of estimating risk and guessing what the other guy might do, not lawyering over laws and treaties before some sort of judge that cares about technicalities and can somehow restrain your opponent but not you.

Yeah the anti-eco optics was my first though too - also the voiceover is a little more obviously AI. “Dump chemicals into the forest, brought to you by WD-40” isn’t a super appealing message (regardless of what was actually happening / intended)

One man's pedestrian book is another man's lifechanging literature. Everything depends on whether the words that one is reading are what, when, and how they need to read.

That's why reading a ton of books, and re-reading old ones, are both decent ideas. Something is gonna stick, even if purely via application of statistics.

> compute the non-overlapping areas of each polygon within each pixel

In the given example (periodic checkerboard), that would be impossible because the pixels that touch the horizon intersect an infinite amount of polygons.

Not that TFA solves that problem either. As far as I know the exact rendering of a periodic pattern in perspective is an open problem.

though this is nothing that can't be done on the CLI (wc, jq, grep etc) - it's obviously easier through a web interface if it's only used sparingly.

Very cool! I like the non standard fretting as well. Neat feature
I have been considering using php like that. It would solve most of my issues. The problem is that I would still like to use static hosts, like netlify or GitHub pages, and they don't support php...In addition I would have to run php on my local machine, where as I would prefer to just edit html with no setup necessary. But if anyone knows a good free host with php support, let me know!

Do you think someone else could have won without AI? The author didn’t exactly win the grand prize here - he cleaned up the smaller prizes because other people weren’t so good at reading comprehension or competitive analysis. The only role AI even played here was the audio, not the concept or the video or the edits. I’m not quite sure what your complaint is I guess.
I think there's merit in both. One thing that is lost from choosing what you want to watch is that you don't get surprised anymore unless you want to be surprised, whereas with traditional TV you'd encounter things you didn't expect, or come across a movie you never heard of before. I think there's space for both.

Or to make another analogy, if you go out and sit at a bench, who knows what will pass by?

Show HN: Gamified work mgmt tool for lean teams
Hey guys!

I have built a work management tool (https://www.shram.io) that gives you XP as you complete tasks.

XP is a function of duration and rating you receive when approver reviews your tasks.

This is meant for teams to maintain accountability in an easy yet effective way.
One of my favourite Ben Franklin stories was they were approaching a crucial vote where he didn't have the support he needed. He figured out he needed the vote of a specific person who had always been his enemy.[1]

What he did was write the guy a letter saying that he had always wanted to read a particular book that this dude had in his library and ask to borrow it. After borrowing the book he returned it with a courteous letter of thanks and not only did the person support his vote but became his lifelong friend.

Ben Franklin explained to others that asking the guy for a favour made all the difference because there was no way his brain could rationalise him doing a favour for someone he didn't like and therefore they became friends.

I'm curious here too, I only flipped through your channels for a minute, but found something interesting immediately.

I go to youtube and seem to run out of quality quickly. I even went as far as crawling the HN frontpage for videos - see hacker news TV - https://xiliary.com/bck/hn-tv.html
It's not even necessary to publish the database. Pass a law, or even possibly a regulation or court instruction, that SSN is not a sufficient basis to establish identity, and that any unauthorised financial transaction, legal document, commercial transaction, or other use relying on SSN is considered prima facie uninsurable fraud.

Use would likely diminish markedly.

Part of that is because of the trend from the past few years (ever since Lost I believe but there's probably previous like soap operas) that TV shows are continuous. But even the 90's TV shows would have some continuity, referencing previous events. That said, I've been rewatching Star Trek DS9 (and may do so with Stargate as well) and the main overarching plot beats often happen at the start and end of a season, the episodes in between can often be randomised.
Just be careful if you ever need to search for the URL again in the future. Last week a colleague of mine did and the first result on DDG linked to a very sketchy, ad-filled cyberchef instance. It seems like it already got removed again though.

Yeah, digital TV feels like a step back in that regard, but on the other hand it makes you reconsider switching / browsing channels. And of course the advantage is higher image quality and more channels.

The situation we found where it's still useful is if your app supports extension-type functionality. The 3rd parties writing extensions would ideally be type-checking during development... but they might not bother. Runtime validation becomes useful at the interfaces.
Financial transactions are premised on 1) the ability to detect fraudulent activity in realtime --- rather than solidly establish identity, payment processors are looking for indicators of fraud, and 2) reversibility of transactions --- if fraud does occur, funds can be clawed back, usually with the vendor holding the bag / taking the hit, rather than either the bank or account-holder.
Good to hear from you
Java never felt like phd level language except for a phd in sucking.

Go does have a poor type system, but it has nowhere near the verbosity of early aught Java: local type inference, free functions, any number of (public) types in the same file, closures, type definitions (terse and easy newtyping), iteration (if only for builtin types until 1.23), etc...

And that's without considering the cultural side of requiring two different implementations of every type (one interface and one impl) or XML-oriented programming for bindings "improved" by unreliable parsers going through method comments.
In the feature comparison table, I find it deceptive or at least a dark pattern to mark the competitors with a simple check and yourself with a big green check when a feature is present.

>That's right. The citizens of the state who they represent. Thus the electors of Oregon represent Oregon voters only. If the electors from Oregon are chosen by national popular vote, then they are inherently representing non-Oregon-citizens, which is illegal, because now oregon citizens have lost representation.

The electors aren't chosen by the National Popular Vote.

They are chosen by the citizens of the state.

Then these electors go and vote for the winner of National Popular Vote at the convention, according to the wishes of the people that elected them.

You seem to somehow ignore the fact that electors are actual people, and say that something is illegal without a basis.

Hi JJ and Mark, I'm a quant on an index desk at a hedge fund. I had a look around your app, it's interesting - I have a few comments, I'd be happy to share them if you hit me up at: reedf1@gmail.com
Oof, sorry for spreading misinformation.
I could've sword that I read an announcement years ago by Microsoft, stating that they're not planning to deprecate V2 and keep supporting both. I cannot find this announcement anymore, and it seems the deprecation is already in effect.
It seems strange to talk about PMF like it is a measurable, binary attribute. As a metaphor, I like the word "traction". It makes me think of a car tire or a shoe that is slipping around and then grips. Also, traction can be lost and on its own it doesn't do anything for you, but you can use it move forward.
I second this request of releasing the results of this “digital tracer dye” experiment. If their respect for your personal data is that low, they deserve to be named and shamed. And more.
Most underrated comment, and what a blast from the past.

Back then Quake 3 would require 3d accelerators and now we can play it in the browser... and some person on HN just casually "ported it". Awesome!

It depends on the country. Where I live now even if I leak my name, date of birth, bank details, national id number, etc. you couldn't do much. We have a country wide 2FA system that all important businesses use (bank, utilities, health, government) to authenticate users.

I'm from the UK though, and previously was a 'victim' of identify theft where a few years ago someone walked into a phone store, and walked out with a new iPhone and contract in my name.
But it won't help if manifest V2 supporting code is finally deleted from Chromium.

Vivaldi already has a built-in adblocker in place, so Vivaldi ad-blocking doesn't depend on V2 being available.

This said, V2 shouldn't be removed at all because this will stifle the extension ecosystem. I predict that extensions will stagnate. Just because some ad-obsessed company killed V2 to stop an extension threatening their revenue.
Are there any commonly-used fonts that display FS GS RS US as cool graphical characters ? If I'm going to use them to structure text, I want them to be visible, and I want them to be clearly distinguishable from the text.
I spent over a decade being the center of the ecosystem for something akin to web extensions for native Objective-C++ apps on iOS/macOS. I maintained a similar solution for Android/Java, and was starting work on something similar for C#.

The HTML/CSS web isn't some panacea for extensions. The code is minimized to the point of being obfuscated, and JavaScript engines provide almost no introspection into frames or closures. After-the-fact extending these apps is hard.

I would very honestly rather be sitting around in someone else's Flutter app with the goal of making some extension modification to the behavior than in someone's crazy DOM-based app, as at least the rules are clearer.

As it stands, though, HTML/CSS are just too complex. I could--probably alone, but certainly with a small team--build a browser that worked fully if the spec were something like WebAssembly connected directly to something like WebGPU.

The idea of a monopoly on browsers at that point would be laughable: we'd have a hundred of them, made by every company of any decent size, embedded into everything, and that spec would be both stable and would matter.

As it stands, we have like 2.5 web browsers at best, and I'm betting we are going to be down to 1.75 or so in the not-so-distant future. And yet, we continue to make the web MORE complicated to implement, which is simply demoralizing.

We can't even build a partial / limited browser renderer anymore, as progressive enhancement is dead now: if you don't support the full set of features then you'll run into modern React sites just giving up and showing a blank screen: even a browser that was fully capable just a few years ago is now dead in the water as it won't have all the crazy new CSS and JavaScript features you need.

And, why are we making this so hard? Because we think that the web is somehow more transparent than even a native app? It really isn't. There is a reason why we had tons of really invasive app behavior extensions for iOS and you almost never see anything integrated when it comes to web extensions: it is because the web's programming model is actually much more difficult to introspect and modify for anything other than superficial styling or wedged-in buttons that add mostly tacked-on behaviors.

There was someone recently on HN who went and added some feature to Gmail as an extension, and they seriously just bring up their own pane and require the user to have Oauth tokens for Gmail from their app, and the reason was because it is just too difficult to reach into Gmail and massively modify its behavior... but we would do that sort of thing on iOS all the time and it was not just easy, it was fun! Maybe a browser could be built that would give users the same kind of extension ability for the web--by ripping through all of the layers of JavaScript scope optimizations--but no one is going to ever build that as building a browser at all is an impossible task :/.
Thanks for acknowledging. Mistakes can and do happen, or information has changed since the post. I also accidentally wrote misinformation here on Hacker News.
>Get enough people to count them in that timeframe.

Whos going to pay for that? The US is essentially 50 different countries with 50 different budgets. The federal government could try to mandate this and help pay for it but states have rejected free heath care money because they don't want the federal government encroaching on their state and some states may push back and do the same. Therefore you'd potentially waste all this money and still have the problems that were solved with the electronic system.

>We use paper ballots here in Australia and get the election results that same night. The USA has 12 times our population and around 6-7 times our voters so proportionally it should be easier for the USA to achieve this than for Australia.

Easier? It would be much harder. The solution that many states are taking is electronic with verified paper trail(ie. the voter sees the printed ballot and verifies it before committing the vote).
Whos is going to pay for it? Many states certainly wont. If all states don't commit, then you are stuck with the same problem.
My only qualm with this is mri studies of brain patterns are notoriously suspect. For example, the Bennett dead salmon fmri "experiment."

Moreover, the article does say there are some flaws in the study, as the data is across different institutes that did the measurements differently and often families of comatose victims reached out to be tested, potentially introducing selection bias.

I also didn't notice when originally replying, but maybe it's worth tacking on:

> ... even if the NIST curves are not backdoored mathematically, they're designed in a way to strongly coerce implementors towards a route which leaves side-channels open ...

[emphasis mine]

The NIST curves are short Weierstrass curves with a=-3. I believe that before 2007 (Edwards), these were generally considered the best, fastest, easiest-to-implement elliptic curves for general operations. Yes, Montgomery curves are faster and simpler for ECDH, at the cost of having a cofactor, but not for signatures.

So it's worth noting that NIST/NSA/Certicom did not choose this family of curves as a trap for implementers. It was the best choice at the time, but Montgomery or Edwards curves are arguably a better choice now.
