You could compile an actual syntax highlighter to WebAssembly and embed that into the font. That would address all the issues.

I believe Vello does this for AA (though I can't find the source now), and it's very fast, running on the GPU via compute shaders.
It literally means that you take a box-shaped piece of the polygon, ie. the intersection of the polygon and a box (a square, in this case the size of one pixel). And do this for each pixel as they’re processed by the rasterizer. If you think of a polygon as a function from R^2 to {0, 1}, where every point inside the polygon maps to 1, then it’s just a signal that you can apply filters to.
worth pointing out that banned and visibility limited in certain scenarios are not the same thing, which might be causing some confusion in this thread.
Different industries prioritize different things. I'm speculating but being the military they may consider that the enemy is planning an incursion exactly when some critical detection systems are expected to be down. So they'd rather kill some equipment while they mobilize a contingency measure. No idea what was in the manager's head or if the threat model makes sense but things aren't always super obvious and don't lend themselves to generalization.

That's the GNU project's interpretation of the license. I don't see how a court couldn't reach a different agreement on what the often discussed "derivative works" section means.

The FAQ also has interesting takes, where depending on the jurisdiction you're in, I'm sure such views would differ:

Q: In an object-oriented language such as Java, if I use a class that is GPLed without modifying, and subclass it, in what way does the GPL affect the larger program? (#OOPLang)

A: Subclassing is creating a derivative work. Therefore, the terms of the GPL affect the whole program where you create a subclass of a GPLed class.

Thats... a really weird and technically inept take on an issue that is not broadly applicable to all object oriented languges, but going with this argument, I'd argue that "subclassing" essentially constitutes just using an interface (in the general sense, not in the Java sense) to some existing software, so in Minio's case, using their API would constitute a similar usage pattern -> my "derivative" work must now be GPL licensed.

If you're a zsh user there is a fun^wquirky way to achieve similar functionality using the MULTI_FUNC_DEF¹ option. zsh allows you to define multiple functions at the same time, so you can parametrize functions with something like:

build_ssh qa_ssh test_ssh() {
echo ${(U)0%_*}_SYSTEMIP
}
build_ssh # Produces BUILD_SYSTEMIP
qa_ssh # Produces QA_SYSTEMIP

(You'd need the 'P' flag to perform secondary expansion to get the value of *_SYSTEMIP if you were using this for the same reason as in the post).

You can even use brace expansion in your function definition, iff you define it using the function keyword like "function {build,qa,test}_ssh()".

There might be a nice solution to this with fish too, as you could create per-machine symlinks in your ~/.config/fish/functions to add a new machine.

The opening statement makes it out that this exact calculation is supposed to be superior to multisampling, but the opposite is the case. Computing the exact mathematical coverage of a single polygon against a background is useless for animations if you can't seamlessly stitch multiple polygons together. And that's why GPUs use multisampling: Each sample is an exact mathematical point that's covered by either polygon at the seam, without the background bleeding through.

x86 kernel development lab notes
I needed to reflect Rust enums and went a bit further with that approach. All variants are wrapped in a decorated class, where the decorator automatically computes the union type and adds de/serialization hooks for `cattrs`.

@enumclass
class MyEnum:
class UnitLikeVariant(Variant0Arg): ...

class TupleLikeVariant(Variant2Arg[int, str]): ...

@dataclass
class StructLikeVariant:
foo: float
bar: int

# The following class variable is automatically generated:
#
# type = UnitLikeVariant | TupleLikeVariant | StructLikeVariant

where the `VariantXArg` classes are predefined.

I am with you, but the power that Big Auto and Big Oil wield in this realm makes it impossible to foster change unless consumers start collectively organizing. Good luck with that.

> If you have a proof of concept, have put in some thinking, made UI sketches and flows, etc, you have started building the product,

I think that that bar is too low to move from "we're considering building $FOO" to "we're building $FOO".

I mean, with the bar for "we're building $FOO" being "Investigate demand for $FOO", then the phrase "we're building $FOO" loses all meaning.

It's the difference between "we're getting divorced" vs "we're considering divorce".

"we're starting a new job" vs "we're looking for a new job"

"we're building a LEGO deathstar" vs "we're buying a box of LEGO"

I see no reason that "we're determining whether to build $FOO" is the same as "we're building $FOO"

TuneType
One thing about analog interfaces is that they are really in a way empowering to the User. Don't like what you're seeing? Just one button press or the turn of a tuner dial and you're outta there and into a new thing. And there is no algorithm telling you what to tune into or which channels you see. Heck, if you want you could tune your radio in-between the station and listen to the static of the atmosphere for an hour.

As a programmer with UI experience (for both physical and graphical UIs) I am aware that nothing stops us from deploying similar paradigms in the digital domain and this is yet another example to make the point, that it is possible.

Sadly few companies nowadays have any incentive to make their interfaces so neutral, egalitarian and simple. It seems to take a special kind of radicalism to commit to limited controls and not slap open ended navigational structures, menus and so on onto a touchscreen. Car interfaces come to my mind.
(author) The problem is that the opentype "language" doesn't have loops or anything resembling regular expressions, where I could just tell it to sub everything between two characters.

This is the kind of thing I expect and want investigative journalists to write about and quiz politicians about non-stop, all the time. Instead they interview them about vacuous things like "ice cream", non-committal questions about policies, "initiatives" like DEI and corporate governance, and stuff so far removed from any concrete instance (like yours) that they can answer in vague non-answers that sound like answers but answer nothing. And of course, never a follow-up, unless it's a politician they don't like, in which case the journalist gets visibly annoyed and angry (wtf?) and tries to call them out on "misinformation". The entire thing is a farce, whilst real-world people on the ground suffer.
Apologies for my meta-meta-comment :) I've been writing code for ~30 years in various languages, and today my brain can't compute how people find any syntax other than this more intuitive:

To me, the above syntax takes away all the noise and just states what needs to be stated.

I didn't assume that, and laid out the argument why it might have happened above.

I don't take a stance on the question of whether the NIST curves are OK either way, other than to defend those who argue there might be a problem (in the past I've seen this take dismissed as a conspiracy theory, which is clearly absurd). There isn't any specific evidence that there's a problem, only a failure to uphold the highest possible standards, which is a fairly weak form of evidence.
This kind of makes sense from a mathematical point of view, but how would this look implementation-wise, in a scenario where you need to render a polygon scene? The article states that box filters are "the simplest form of filtering", but it sounds quite non-trivial for that use case.
The Swiss Army Knife of Development Boards
If you're doing something possibly illegal, you're probably far safer trusting your traffic to some company in a far-away country than your own local ISP. Think about living in China, for instance: the local ISP obviously can't be trusted, but some company in Norway isn't going to care that you're posting anti-CCP stuff on social networks, and is far beyond the reach of China's law enforcement. (Of course, if VPN usage itself is illegal in your country, that could cause you problems regardless.)
Some people trivialise things in bad faith to score internet points on Hacker News, I guess.
The status quo, per the article, was already using “deep learning” models to perform anomaly detection. We are already talking about complex, black-box systems.

The stated advantage was that they didn’t require deployment-specific training. You can just throw a pre-trained LLM at it. There is also a stated benefit: early-stage detection, without needing to pay for, or wait for, training a custom ML model.
The article is quite open about the fact that the LLM approach doesn’t beat the state of the art in terms of accuracy.

It’s like you didn’t click the link.
Could you elaborate a bit with specifics? I feel both sides are just opining, and I'd love to know where to stand on a license, the main idea of which I love.

How about we don't let companies control their dividends. Excess profit that's not reasonably ear-marked for growth, should be mandated to be distributed as dividends.

Again, and continuing with the flight safety, all of it was an iterative process, learned the hard way. Flight safety rules did not emerge whole and unchanged with the Wright brothers. Every change was prompted by one or more incidents during which the current procedure was not appropriate.

What then?

Consider the current thread on the whole "toaster in the dishwasher" topic, during which someone related an incident wherein an entire server site was immersed in water but still functioning (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41251234). The site manager followed procedure (wait a while, not cut the power, perform risk assessment) and it resulted in total loss, but the poster wanted to "cut the power, pump the water out of the bunker ASAP and immediately clean the whole lot with pure water." Here we have a tension between procedure and results. Procedure ended up causing total site loss, which was completely avoidable.

Similarly, a current thread on an ER doctor not following the usual procedures during a mass casualty event was lauded. A choice had to be made. Here, results won.

I just like to know this sort of thing about a work culture in advance. Letter of the law versus the spirit of the law, and so on.
Before 2010 and UTF-8 everywhere , I regularly had the misfortune of dealing with multi encoding CSVs. Someone got CSVs from multiple sources and catted them together. One source uses ISO 8859-1, another -15, another UTF-8, sometimes a greek or russian or even ebcdic was in there. Fun trying to guess where one stopped and the other begun . Of course, none of them were consistent crlf or escape wise.
Looking at the demo source code it seems like it is running everything in browser and is not prerendered. It just lacks a parser. So the AST nodes in all examples are created through function calls https://github.com/fal-works/firedancer/blob/4a15e80fe55893b... .
But as I understand it, the article is about rasterization, so if we filter after rasterization, the sampling has already happened, no? In other words: Isn't this about using the intersection of polygon x square instead of single sample per pixel rasterization?

Hash-based solutions aren't as easy as we might hope.

You store a hashed version of my SSN, or my phone number, to represent my opt-out? Someone can just hash every number from 000-00-0000 to 999-99-9999 and figure out mine from that.

You hash the entire contents of the profile - name+address+phone+e-mail+DOB+SSN - and the moment a data source provides them with a profile only containing name+address+email - the missing fields mean the hashes won't match.

A trusted third party will work a lot better IMHO.

And of course none of the data brokers have much reason to make opt-outs work well, in the absence of legislation and strict enforcement - it's in their commercial interests to say they "can't stop your data reappearing"

What’s really funny is that these books are usually so obscene that just reading from them at a school board meeting is a good way to get “forcibly” removed. A few stories:

> A speaker at a Florida school board meeting was removed for using vulgar language after reading aloud from a highly sexualized book available at the high school’s public library.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-school-board-remove...

> Law enforcement escorted a man out of a local school board meeting in North Texas after he read from a book banned by the district earlier this summer. The clash comes as public school districts across Texas—including several in the Houston area—move to exclude titles deemed "obscene" in increasing numbers.

https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/texas-schoo...

> A Georgia school board member cut off a mother reading sexually explicit content from a book available to high school students in the district, saying the passage was "inappropriate" for any children to potentially hear.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/parent-reading-sexual-content-sch...

I frankly find it impossible to believe that anyone actually believes that literally any book should be allowed in a public school library. We can disagree about where to draw the line but I don’t think anybody wants copies of The Turner Diaries in a public school library.

It’s particularly hard to take these complaints seriously when they come from the same people who hold congressional hearings to attack a private business for selling certain books to grown adults: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/09/1035559330/democrats-slam-ama...

I'm a full-on free market freedom person, but even I'd agree with this kind of stuff at this point.

One thing we really need to be careful to avoid whilst going down this proposed route, is to not mimic the failure mode of socialist/communist entities. I.e. Whereby performance is mandated (produce X amount of grain), along with constraints and other mandates that make the first or all mandates impossible to achieve at the same time, thereby guaranteeing failure and/or reporting shenanigans.

E.g. in our current world context. Mandating increases in hiring as a percentage, but then also giving a mandate that we can only add female/non-white employees; all while existing in a male/white dominated pool of applicants. We have to give reasonable and understandable growth / performance mandates, and not pie in the sky stuff that takes generations to fix but we want it done by next quarter.
It is applying the filter before rasterization, and then taking a single sample of the filtered signal per pixel.
