I designed in a Everspin MRAM. Had to take it back out when we learned that the small magnet, to activate a reed switch, near the MRAM would destroy it. It did not just lose a few bits, the device was forever dead. We are talking Refrigerator Magnet level field in close proximity.

Great technology as long as no magnetic fields are close to the device.
Satan-2 Fails to Launch

Yeah, I guess in my circles the term MAGA is abused to point at people who are not quite nazi's but want 'other stuff' but don't have the mental capacity to formulate what that is or how it would work (except racism and violence, but even that is not quite ... well ... coherent). For instance in my home country NL, my friends now group 'tokkies' (people who are rude, have a garbage heap in their garden and like to beat and shoot things) and 'wappies' (conspiracy nuts) as MAGA as it's the same kind of 1 braincell carrying kind of people.

I personally don't quite know how to handle them as it's basically more sad than anything; before the internet I didn't know that many of these people existed in my country. Let alone that they can get voted into government and make policy (well... policy... anyway). In the 80s we had 1 guy; JanMaat and he was a joke of a person; no-one took him in any way seriously, so there was no way extreme right would get anywhere with this slackjawed idiot at the helm. Now these people get voted in... How?

Why the surprise?

Meta has access to the folder it manages in the user's Google Drive. That's obvious, otherwise they wouldn't be able to write to it.

This is about digital cloning of a real, existing human actor.

The bigger problem going forward will be synthetic actors that are purely digital in origin.

And also digital movies and entertainment that looks "real" but is actually synthesized entirely in an AI computer lab.

Human actors and entertainers of all types may not become obsolete but they will likely have to compete with AI. The first "synthetic" celebrity is not too far off.
I feel that with different kinds of cores in newer cpus this might be a good fit for a dedicated core. Maybe a low clock speed (and low power consumption) is enough.
That's the writing style and tone that they wanted to put out. They went to a coffee shop to get what one gets at a coffee shop some coffee and some food and they were using some sort of a internet connected thing that frustrated them because of the coffee shop's poor internet connection.

I think they did a perfectly good job and this is good writing and it's not indicative of their intelligence or maturity.

Haven't you ever got frustrated at something where you just are constantly cursing inside. That seems to be what spurred this on, simple as.

Except that they didn't had to prove a point, the old timers remember when static linking was the only option and dynamic linking was seen as very welcome solution over hacks like overlay sections.

However we just don't get rid of static linking and decided to go back into 1980's UNIX, because there are use cases where dynamic linking is actually usefull, and achieving the same via OS IPC is too resource demanding.

There is though a fine balance between offering such kind of features via dynamic code loading and OS IPC, because host stability and security exploits also are a relevant point of interest in modern computing.

As far as what he does for others, that seems to be his entire job from what I can tell. Just going by what he visibly does.
I've always felt that calling Lander a "demo" was harsh. It's a fully featured game in itself, and has features that Zarch doesn't (such as falling rocks and hover mode). Yes, Zarch was the result of continued development of Lander, but Lander stands on its own, and to me, that makes it a game in its own right, not a demo.

It's also a lot more relaxing to play. There's nothing more chill than flying over the bucolic landscape of Lander - no aliens or viruses in this version!
Absolutely disagree!

Conveying frustration of the highest caliber sometimes requires profanity and if you can't deal with that then grow up.

Show HN: OpenFreeMap – Open-Source Map Hosting
Hi HN,

After 9 years of running my own OpenStreetMap tile server infra for MapHub (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11389989), I've open-sourced it and launched OpenFreeMap.

You can either self-host or use our public instance. Everything is open-source, including the full production setup — there’s no 'open-core' model here. Check out the repo (https://github.com/hyperknot/openfreemap). The map data comes from OpenStreetMap.

I also provide weekly full planet downloads both in Btrfs and MBTiles formats.

I aim to cover the running costs of the public instance through donations.

Looking forwards for your feedback.
You can export WhatsApp conversations, but it was flaky last time I tried to do all of them (spanning 4 years). But I expect monthly or semiannually to be fine.
My own personal TL;DR would be, pypi has to store too much data in the form of pre built binaries that are uploaded by package authors. Python should adopt a repeatable build format so that PyPi itself can build wheels for any platform on demand (edit: am I misunderstanding? did they mean, wheels can be built as part of the local install process?). Author is involved with some special compiler to do this.

Personally I'd love if PyPi could build our wheels for us. That would be great, we use GitHub actions right now which has its own complexities and for years we had nothing. But that would mean a huge ramp up in processing capability for PyPi. Considering PyPi can't even handle having its packages signed and "solved" the problem by sending authors obnoxious emails if we even dare to push up a signature file, im not too optimistic for such a change vs. their just continuing to rely on corporate sponsors to deliver bandwidth.
Also, this is very much assuming that the code is both C or C++ and that LLVM is the right compiler to use. Fortran is still a major part of the ecosystem, which the Zig compiler isn't going to solve. There already exists numerous options to provide compilers to the problematic platform, the fact is binary wheels (mostly) solve the issue far better than doing local builds.

Also, the large packages are typically due to the need to support the huge number of possible GPU combinations (because you care about what CUDA versions are supported).

This feels like a solution being forced on a problem (not that zig cc isn't cool), but the post has really misunderstood the issues around wheels.
Interesting - if any computer program can be rewritten in the form of a Collatz-like function, is it at all surprising that the BB problems appear in this form?

Floods are historically frequent and devastating. Because they found evidence of 'a flood' and a historical record tells of 'a flood' it's maybe a reach to call this evidence supporting the ancient legend. Kind of like suggesting every sedimentary layer 'noah's flood'.

Don’t care, or can’t? Here in the U.S. we have a high chance that the presidential race will be won by a convicted felon who tried to falsify the last election he lost and encouraged a violent attempt to change the results, shielded by a series of blatantly political court decisions, so I'm not sure we have much standing to criticize other countries’ governance.

To be fair, it’s not actually a particularly good guide to how to go about getting your first colo server setup either, which aligns with their title about it being terrible.

I understand that this might be out of scope of the project, but floor plan design is more convoluted than filling the space with some constraint.

Necessary things to respect:

- recrangular rooms: non-straight angles are hard to work with

- windows: unless this is a plan for the underground floor

- water/waste water supply/vent shaft: for multi-floor buildings cannot be moved

- personal needs: some people need lots of storage space, some a room to play videogames, some a huge kitchen with an isle. All of that must be reflected in a good floor plan

With that said, I feel like this project might be good for less serious application like procedural game design, but is too naive for real architectural use.
According to the CDC these are the leading causes of death in the US.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm

Heart disease is number one. Cancer is 2. Accidents 3. Stroke 5. Four of the top 5 have some link to cars.

How much heart disease, stroke, or obesity, is caused by people driving everywhere instead of walking or biking?

How many deaths from slow ambulance response times? Cars allow suburbs to exist where people live far away from hospitals. People in cities have traffic. If people lived in densely populated places without cars and traffic, faster emergency response times would save many.

How much heart disease and cancer is caused by the air pollution from fossil fuel burning cars? How many deaths are caused by the natural disasters resulting from the climate impact of cars? Even electric cars are polluting the air with their tires, even moreso than fossil fuel cars do.

How much heart disease or strokes are caused by the noise pollution from cars?

How much heart disease or strokes are caused by the stress people experience while they drive and/or sit in traffic?

Cars are a major root cause of a lot of our public health problems. Not only do they violently kill people directly in vast numbers, they don’t get credit for all the deaths they contribute to indirectly.

We should dramatically redesign our transportation infrastructure so that people do not need cars. Reduce car usage to the point where they are only used when absolutely necessary. This will solve not just one, but several public health problems.
> Human labour isn't all that important in a modern economy

We keep hearing this from allegedly credible people and institutions, yet when people stop buying products (with the result of their own productivity) or worse still, go on strike, suddenly the gears of the machine stop cold and the leadership of whatever industry is crying to the government to end the strike for them because negotiation is hard.

I have heard since I was a kid in the 90's how it was ludicrous to pay McDonalds workers more than $10 an hour because McDonalds wouldn't make any money that way, and those employees would be replaced with robots. Today the one nearest me is offering $15 an hour, and they kiiiind of automated the cashiers? Not really though, you can still order from a person if you want, and everyone past that step who's actually making and handing you the food is still very much a human, with seemingly little if any progress towards those positions being automated.

Mind you, McDonalds is apparently not making money anymore but that was the status quo pre-pandemic when they still paid workers like complete shit. That seems to have far more to do with McDonalds corporate blowing shit tons of cash on celebrity endorsements and ineffective advertising, as well as heavy product discounting on a product that's just not kept up with industry/social trends.

And all that's past the pandemic and the drama it created both with allowing many workers the time and capital for themselves to ascend out of tons of these shitty jobs which has left a gap in employment since that no one has stopped whining about.

Anyway the point is the "post human labor" economy is largely a joke, for starters, if you don't have humans buying your products, you don't have a business, and nobody can buy them if nobody is working. Second, because despite the constant threat of automation levied against working class people, we really do seem to be hitting the limits, at least in present technology, of what we can make machines do.

> In the English speaking world we've even managed to disconnect GDP from energy and now people are confused why GDP goes up but real living standards don't change all that much and everyone is shifting to fixed-pie thinking.

I mean I don't think that's so much a result of GDP being disconnected from energy (nor do I have a solid grasp of what that means) as much as more and more of the results of productivity seem to go into the pockets of a handful of people while just getting by gets more expensive year-over-year, and people tend to notice that.

Many people make the mistake that presumes criminals think rationally and therefore consider the consequences. They do not. Crime is usually an act of desperation and consequences aren't in the formula.
That's why "tough on crime," doesn't actually reduce crime. That's why the drug war doesn't work, that's why zero tolerance is just a talking point. If we want to reduce crime, we have to reduce the desperation.
They've already removed themselves from society, that's most of the problem. They are now above society, immune to the laws that restrict us. They feel this should give them the right to rule us with literal power over life and death as the Gods or Lords of old did.

If you doubt that the extremely wealthy are indeed above our laws, please show me even one instance of a billionaire being successfully jailed for a criminal offense in the entire history of the USA. As far as I am aware, it has never happened because the government fears the wrath that their wealth and their political connections can bring to bear.

Edit: This argument was defeated, I forgot about Bernie Madoff.
> Building productive capital in the West has typically been somewhere between discouraged and illegal in favour of playing games with numbers.

You clearly have a different view of capital than me. Games of capital are exactly playing with numbers in my book. And especially post-Reagan new economy. The best way to make money is to have money. Or assets, rather, but same same. Even a few good years in tech or a decent inheritance lump sum + mediocre hands-off “investment” can yield higher than eg being a full time paramedic.

Some issues I see are:

- packages which only distribute binaries (eg, closed-source or source-for-a-fee distributions)

- it looks like Zig's C compiler does not support OpenMP, which I use

- what is the cut-off time for source vs. binary distribution? My package takes about a minute to compile (it has a lot of auto-generated source).

- what's the user impact if they have 10 projects which are just under that threshold?

- compile-time dependencies which are not recorded in pyproject.toml (like, having a Fortran compiler, having yacc/bison, etc.)

I visited a friend in Elliot Lake once and we stopped at a plaque on the side of the highway to read. A geologist friend came along, and he recognized the formation of the rocks under our feet as uranium-bearing. I had brought my Geiger counter along, and sure enough, these were hot too.

As you mention: no warning signs, no caution tape. Being close enough to that in any “anthropoid” setting would require, at the very least, a dosimetry badge.

I can live within that cognitive dissonance, but it’s just an interesting observation.
We would have to look at why Go was chosen over other languages, to make an assumption about that. Was it a technical decision, an emotional decision, or an expertise-based decision? In the latter two, you may be right.

If it was a echnical decision, it is not so likely. Go's heart is concurrency, while Rust's heart is memory safety. Wildly different.

Are you saying io_uring is basically IOCP for Linux? If that's true, then I'm not happy about it being in the kernel. IOCP only goes 2x faster in my experience (vs. threads and blocking i/o) and that isn't worth it for the ugly error prone code you have to write. System calls are also a lot faster on Linux than they are on Windows, so I'd be surprised if io_uring manages even that.
