Even the aesthetic/art style varies tremendously - i.e. even the "big eyes" thing so often correlated with anime art isn't universal either.

Can you have "Western" anime? Some hardcore otakus scoff at the idea. If you made an animated version of Star Wars - is that anime? Is Avatar: The Last Airbender an anime?

"Chinese anime" or "Korean anime"? Again, some would scoff at the idea. But what is all that Hoyoverse stuff? Or all those Korean webtoons (though that's really more comparable with manga - and the korean word "manhwa" uses the exact same Chinese characters as "manga").

Oh definitely. It wasn’t clear from my above comment, but I acknowledge that bit was definitely wrong and will eat crow for that.

I guess the main thing I was trying to say was that we know obesity is correlated with cancer and I thought we had some understanding of the mechanism behind that, so my guess is that physical exercise is just the inverse of that mechanism?
This is looking at the past with extremely rose tinted glasses, in reality life was very nasty and usually short for anyone below the lower gentry. (>90% of the population)

What is there to be skeptical of? OpenAI made their current product using a 10G$ investment plus a few they are not disclosing, and now they will start to do it at scale.

Perfectly normal stuff.

By the way, what's the World's GDP again?
IPv4 as well as IPv6 was designed with endpoint to endpoint communication in mind so when NAT was conceived (originally intended to be a stop-gap while we moved to IPv6) we also had to re-write many other protocols and create many new ones since NAT broke IPv4's design principle (each IP needs to be unique)

This has lead to many context specific problems as many of the re-written protocols don't work as well not to mention the added complexities of protocols designed specifically with NAT in mind. As another network engineer I can attest to the problems this has caused. Pretty much everything from overlay VPN networks, VoIP solutions, security and ACLS, and just our day to day maintenance tasks are complicated by NAT. It has gotten so out of hand that many of us have dedicated NAT routers just handling NAT translation.

It's so weird to me that so many people in our industry spout scalability but then laugh off IPv6... How the heck do you guys plan to communicate to the ever increasing amount of smart devices? IPv4 literally ran out a space years ago...
Telegram expands cooperation with authorities beyond the scope of terrorism
Since September 23, hashtag#Telegram discloses users’ IP addresses and phone numbers following “a valid order from the relevant judicial authorities”.

The Solo Leveling anime adapts a Korean Manhwa, so maybe not the best example here. Not that there is any shortage of male wish fulfilment in original Japanese works.
I'm calling it a porno because said scenes have foreplay, climax and a full frontal nudity moneyshot.

It's just 3 or 4 scenes. But they are clearly full on pornographic scenes. They are also completely irrelevant to the story and were removed from later adaptations.

---------

I'm mildly convinced that Nasu started with the pornographic market so that his story would be the king-of-porn first, building up a niche within that sub community first. It's highly unusual for pornographic stories to receive the shear detail and writing effort that went into F/SN.

Call it the Facebook strategy. Don't aim to be king of all the market, instead aim to be king of some sub-niche first. You can always pivot away later.

But you are correct in that the level of detail and character development even in the original novel far exceeds that of any porno. But I argue that this fact was Nasus explicit strategy for growth.
There is something disturbing about installing Windows through what could pass for ncurses, and then being able to log into the resulting system over a serial port and land in a cmd shell.

I think you are confusing "privacy-oriented" and anonymous! Signal is pretty privacy oriented since it has E2EE by default (and so does Whatsapp). Telegram would be much more privacy oriented if it had E2EE by default.
I'm not familiar with Java. Does it have no notion of structural types at all? If it does, maybe you could wrap those fields in `Car` with `Maybe`/`Option` (I’m not sure what the equivalent is in Java) so you get something like `Car(Maybe Make, Maybe Model, Maybe Year, Maybe Colour)`?

Harder. Vacuum is an excellent thermal insulator.
Having read a few comments, and then the essay itself, I am surprised there's no call to action or announcement.
Try Chainsaw Man. The first ~100 chapters make up the first "arc" of the series and it is incredibly well done. The story starts to meander and the art seems more rushed in the second arc (currently ongoing), but the art of the first arc alone makes it well worth a read.

Dungeon Meshi is also really good from beginning to end. Especially if you like D&D inspired material. It has a clever take on fantasy settings and avoids the more annoying anime tropes.
I guess I disagree with the premise that most people dislike those two things, which seem quite popular and were well-received
Jobless Reincarnation has a lot of fucked-up trashy aspects to it, but it also explores how those things fuck people up, why and how, and goes deep into character development and a realistic depiction of what healing from trauma (and people who haven't healed from trauma) looks like.

There are a lot of harem anime out there that do not do that type of deeper character work and function solely as male power-fantasies. See, for instance, Tsukimitchi or Rosario X Vampire

That was and still is my point
A Web-based WYSIWYG editor for automation routines
The release 1.3.0 of Platypush adds a visual editor for automation snippets that takes inspiration from Tasker and IFTTT.

I did some small jobs nearly two decades ago introducing school kids to programming through Scratch and the Lego Mindstorm IDE, and I've been toying since then with the idea of implementing a drag-and-drop, block-based and general-purpose UI to lower the barriers to coding. This has been a chance to finally follow-up on those intentions.

Platypush also still provides extensibility through Python scripts for more complex routines that can't be easily modelled through a block-based interface.

Keep in mind though that I'm no UX expert (I'm mostly a backend guy who can do some UI, not the other way around), and least of all I'm an expert of block-based interfaces and drag-and-drop, especially when it comes to a11y, so feel free to provide feedback.
The anime following manga orthodoxy is a relatively recent thing, especially compared to earlier 90's adaptations. Compare Sailor Moon, Helsing, etc, where they deviated so far that both of them got subsequent "re-do" animes that tried to more explicitly follow the manga.

I would argue that reinterpretations/taking liberties aren't always a bad thing. I went back and watched the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure OVA from the 90's that compressed/deviated the Stardust Crusaders arc considerably, especially compared to the more recent anime, which follows the manga panels to a 't'. I would argue the OVA holds up very well and makes some necessary edits for the sake of the pacing. Plus, the OVA staff clearly did their research, because OVA Egypt feels way more authentic than anime Egypt (which looked like your stereotypical mishmash of Middle East/India).
They are really helpful to answer concrete questions, basically a replacement of manual web search and filtering, getting just exactly answers I was looking for. For example, one of my dialogue with chatgpt 4o was about boosting plant growth in a fish tank - you certainly can find a lot of web sites about it, but I simply described my aquatic environment and asked for a recipe - and the answers sound and well supported, a post dialogue double check of the sources help

This is exaggerated with remote work. I will always be friendly and kind but these people do not actually know me. Like you said, if they did they may not like what they find out.

I am personally more effective remote but obviously that is dependent on the individual. I think its absolutely possible to be effective without having "friends" at work.

An interesting observation I have had. Younger coworkers and those without kids tend to want friends at work rather than just showing up and doing work.
To a first approximation, "extract profit from this" means providing goods/services that people are willing to pay money for. If people are willing to pay for more anime content, companions, vtubers, and streaming sites, why is it a "mental illness" to provide that?

>It's like walking into an old growth forest and seeing the potential for a toothpick factory.

At least for old growth forests you could argue that it's mispriced because it's providing biodiversity/carbon sequestration which can't be sold on the market. Meanwhile the benefits provided by anime accrue solely to its consumers. What's the problem with getting them to pay for it?

That's because the gap between comic books and animation is one of the smallest between mediums. Not that it doesn't take creativity to adapt a manga into anime, but there is a template for a very faithful adaptation that is available to you.

If you're turning a prose novel into a tv show, you have to basically create everything from scratch. You can set it in the world of the novel and basically follow the plot, but the pacing is impossible to translate directly, and you don't have any of the visuals.

> Fragmented societies are less prone to bureaucracy, and more prone to not having enough people available to solve a problem.

Competition probably also played a part. If the emperor in China or Ancient Rome decided to ban or restrict certain fields/groups/ideas you were pretty screwed, innovation likely stopped, most progress was lost and the next generations had to start from scratch. In Europe you could just move to the next state or city. Same applies to major invasions and societal collapses, e.g. the Byzantine scholars fleeing to Italy during/after the Turkish invasions.
Show HN: I built a newsletter reader to declutter your inbox
With the rise of substack, beehiiv and many other newsletter platforms, it seems like everyone is launching newsletters nowadays. I personally subscribe to 10+ but hardly find the time to read them amongst my other emails. I built a newsletter reader that forwards all of your newsletters to Digest, and removes them from your inbox. You can also get a daily email that contains a list of all the newsletters you've received, and pick and choose which ones you want to read.

I did all my CAD work via https://www.shapr3d.com/. It runs on multiple platforms, but I use it on my iPad Pro. There are many other options, such as OnShape, Fusion, FreeCad etc.. However most of them have their own quirks

Onshape: It's public domain on Hobbyist plan, so anything I create has to be by default Public. The next plan they have is $1500 yearl

Fusion: This is the most recommended one, however it's macOS and Windows only. Their Hobbyist plan is pretty generous, but the UI is very slow on macOS and it doesn't have an iPad app.

For me, the iPad Pro is a huge enabler. I don't want to sit down in front of my MacBook because I already work the whole day. Second, with the Apple Pencil it's so much easier and intuitive compared to anything else.

The only ceveat with Shapr3D is the cost. I paid for the yearly subscription, which was around $299. And it's the cheapest of all of them btw.
Congrats on writing and completing a book! I was involved in a few myself long ago, when I had the time available to contribute to those endeavors. In a world that often measures "the juice being worth the squeeze", I'm not sure authoring technical manuals would ever meet the criteria.

One of my personal photos I keep around was taken long ago in what was the biggest bricks/mortar bookseller. I was looking at the selection of books on Java available at the time. O'Reilly was the dominant publisher, and thus had several offerings on the wall. Most of the books were at least 2 inches thick. (If you were ever involved with writing a technical book in the early 2000s, you'll understand the publisher metrics at the time were based on the width of the spine on the shelf.)

Among the many Java manuals of significant girth was a small, THIN book with the title "Java -- the Good Parts". :-{}

I'm surprised to hear that. I've genuinely never held so much disdain for a TV show (season 1) in my life. But when season 2 hit I was too apathetic to even bother watching.

They made so many changes (mostly shit) that it was hard to even see it as an adaptation. The official statement (mental gymnastics) was that it's "another turning of the wheel".

It's harder. You can stop wondering.

It gets easier if you run things hotter, up to the point that there isn't much of a difference at a few hundred °C (and keeps making no difference when hotter).
People make fun of the True Communism brigade because they're saying that if you did communism "right" the outcomes would be different to what actually happened. In this case people are saying that if you did Thatcherism again, the outcomes would be the same as what actually happened: the UK would catch up with the USA again, just like it did under Thatcher. So the comparison seems backwards. The essay writers aren't trying to claim Thatcher didn't do libertarianism correctly.

It's easy to overlook how bad the situation was before Thatcher. Ed West has other articles where he talks about the situation in the mid 1970s.

in November 1973 ‘Heath announced his fifth state of emergency in barely four years. Floodlighting and electric advertising were banned; behind the scenes, the government began printing petrol ration cards. As the railwaymen voted to join the miners in pursuit of higher pay, it seemed that Britain was sliding into darkness. Offices were ordered to turn down their thermostats, while the BBC and ITV were banned from broadcasting after 10.30 at night. On New Year’s Day, with fuel supplies running dangerously low, the entire nation went on a three-day working week.’

The capital had lost a million and a half people since its peak in 1939, and would continue its decline for another decade ... The country as a whole was haemorrhaging people, and in 1975 its population fell for the first time since records began. In the spring of 1974 applications for emigration to Canada went up 65 per cent, while New Zealand even felt compelled to put restrictions on people fleeing the old country.

In 1950 Britain had 25 per cent of the world trade in manufacturing; by 1970 it was barely 10%, half of West Germany’s. Britain was now the second poorest country in the European Economic Community, and Tony Benn remarked that it was ‘heading for development area status in the EEC… with Germany more than twice as rich as we are.’

Robert Moss of the Economist wrote in February 1977. ‘The more I compare Britain with the countries that it still regards as it peers, the more I succumb to the uneasy feeling that [it] is becoming a Third World country.’

Britain had even become a cautionary tale, so that President Gerald Ford warned Americans: ‘It would be tragic for this country if we went down the same path and ended up with the same problems Great Britain has.’

minor correction: the central atoms in pzt are not zircon but zirconium. zircon is zirconium silicate, the form in which zirconium is almost always found in nature. there is no silicate in pzt

also, the atom that can substitute for zirconium in that central position is not lead but titanium. you do explain this in the following sentence, but first you say 'causes the lead or [zirconium] atom to physically move', which is wrong

Jailing someone/holding a company in contempt that does business in your country for ignoring legal warrants isn't kidnapping. Trying to frame it that way is pretty silly and disingenuous.
I have a long convoluted answer to this.

I love that talk (and most of Rich's stuff). I consider myself a Clojure fanboy that got converted to the dark side of strong static typing.

I think, to some degree, he actually answers that question as part of his talk (in between beating up nominal types). Optionality often pops up in place of understanding (or representing) that data has a context. If you model your program so that it has "15 maybe sheep," then... you'll have 15 "maybe sheep" you've got to deal with.

The possible combinations of all data types that could be made is very different from the subset that actually express themselves in our programs. Meaning, the actual "explosion" is fairly constrained in practice because (most) businesses can't function under combinatorial pressures. There's some stuff that matters, and some stuff that doesn't. We only have to apply typing rigor to the stuff that matters.

Where I do find type explosions tedious and annoying is not in expressing every possible combination, but in trying to express the slow accretion of information. (I think he talks about this in one of his talks, too). Invoice, then InvoiceWithCustomer, then InvoiceWithCustomerAndId, etc... the world that microservices have doomed us to representing.

I don't know a good way to model that without intersection types or something like Rows in purescript. In Java, it's a pain point for sure.

Capital follows the most profitable investments. It's why "green" technology took so long to develop (we probably could have had efficient solar panels in the 60s, but oil was super cheap and more importantly very profitable). Dropping the cost of a $1e7 problem to even $1e6 probably makes it very profitable.
