Not true. If you just need a model to learn the physics and not all the pixels I am sure you can get a much smaller model.

If you look at the metnet papers similar approaches have been successful for weather prediction where models have better results and are order of magnitude faster at inference time compared to numerical models. Of course, training will be time consuming and resources intensive, but it's something you can do once and then ship it to users when they install / update the game.

It woudl be just as bad as Microsoft saying that if you want to check your email or access SharePoint you can't use anything but Edge (insert jokes about how they basically did do that 20 years ago with MSIE, but let's be serious, that sort of thing would be rightfully mocked today).

Isn't Google doing the same thing today with YouTube? Isn't that what led MS to give up on EdgeHTML and adopt Blink instead?
FM has 15kHz of bandwidth per stereo channel or an effective 30kHz sampling rate. The rest of the space is used for supplemental signals, including, the "pilot carrier" that is used to generate the "stereo image." There is space for three more full bandwidth mono channels on the end of an FM broadcast. One of them is often used for RBDS.

FM signals receive AM interference but heterodynes exclude them effectively. The cost is vulnerability to multipath reception in highly signal reflective environments and capture/wandering effects when two signals of similar strength are present.

AM _can_ sound pretty good. Most AM transmitter sites are poorly maintained, combined with other stations into one antenna system (something you can do on AM with a phasor), and are typically just simulcasts of FM content or satellite delivered content. There's no real care put into it. On a well maintained, tuned, and properly programmed station, mono content on AM sounds quite pleasant.

That's not even getting into "cost saving" measures that AM operators employ that completely compromise their signals. Or what Nielsen has convinced them to inject into their signals to register modern "ratings points" from the "portable people meter" system.

Guess where I used to work.

To start, this genes aren't exclusive from the group. And it is not a monofiletic group anymore, because is a religious one and anybody can join it. So from a "taxonomic" point of view is not what we would call a "natural group", speaking genetically.

GNOME was never too popular among "true hackers" because compared to KDE, it is seen as less flexible, less configurable and hence more "nannying". But to me, I always found KDE too cluttered and all over the place.

Now, I just pulled up the KDE home page and was presently surprised by the very sleak looking screenshots of a KDE desktop. Looks much more polished compared to the KDE of 20 years ago.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday, KDE!

I don’t know about your later claim. To my shallow knowledge of Rust, it doesn’t try to compete on the same segment as Java.

For the latter it’s still kinda of "everybody can write some code that will run everywhere". The former is more like "you can have performance, consistency and correctness in a shallowly-C-like syntax", which is more likely to tease the average HN reader, but probably not the average programmer who is in to earn some descent money or as a way to start before moving up in the businesses hierarchy.

And you see there are some people which enthusiast to push Rust into the Linux kernel, while I doubt that in Java projects of similar size there is that much ardor for even introducing it in some part of it, let alone propose a full rewrite.

Shannon theorem disagrees with you. The wider the channel, the MORE noise you can tolerate when transmitting signal at a given data rate.

In audio, the amount of information you need to transmit is naturally limited by the audio bandwidth (for FM truncated at about 15 kHz), so the useful signal bandwidth is fixed. Hence, if you transmit the same audio band over a broader channel of frequencies, you can tolerate more noise; or, for the same density of noise in the channel, you can get better SNR at the output. This is exactly what FM does. It uses the information multiplied in the most of that 200 kHz channel and projects it on 0-15 kHz band.

While you are right that a wider channel captures more noise in total, noise does not add up the same way as useful signal, because it’s random. Doubling the channel width only increases the amplitude of noise by sqrt(2).

There is no “magic noise rejection” coming from different ways of modulating the signal if all other things are the same. You can’t remove noise; you can’t magically increase SNR. If anything, FM makes the noise more pleasant to listen to and perceivably quieter by spreading non random, irregular noise over the whole band so it sounds more like white noise.

But it also allows to use wider channels, and increase the fidelity of the signal, including increasing SNR. But that’s thanks to using significantly wider channels than audio.

Also, it’s not like FM can use wider channels because of better SNR. FM can use wider channels because of how this modulation works - the spectrum of FM signal can be arbitrarily wide, depending on the depth of modulation. AM cannot do that. It only shifts the audio band up (and mirrors on both sides of the carrier). It can’t “spread it”.

Btw: this is a very similar phenomenon as when you average multiple shots of the same thing in photography, eg when photographing at night. By adding more frames (or using very long exposures) you obviously capture more total noise, but the amount of useful signal grows much faster because signal is correlated in time, but noise is not.

Thanks for the CWL pointer; the evaluation of our team either got that one wrong when it was evaluated many years ago, or CWL added it, and in either case it's good to know.
Good analogy, however if you move back and forth the transmitter or the receiver at enough speed, frequency (color) will vary as well, and that analogy could be used to explain Doppler effect, and why civilian airplanes use AM.
It works now, thanks for the trick!

Show HN: I made a Hawthorn game website where you can play similar games online
Hey HN,

I am a gaming enthusiast and also a programmer. I recently saw that Steam is about to release a new game called Hawthorn, and I think it looks really interesting.

However, the game hasn't officially launched yet, so it's not playable at the moment. I've played a few other animal simulation games and found them to be quite fun as casual games. So, I wanted to share them with everyone.

I've put the information about Hawthorn and the other games I've played on this website, and I hope you'll like them too. If you're interested in Hawthorn, you can also add it to your wishlist.

would love your feedback pls

Rust compiles to native machine code. C# compiles to bytecode which runs in a runtime environment. That adds a huge amount of overhead, and means you don't have direct access to the hardware registers. The .net IoT framework is targeting computers running operating systems.

When you compile rust for an embedded target it's running "bare metal" - there's no operating system, the microcontroller literally just starts running the instructions your compiler put at memory address 0. If you want anything an operating system offers - task scheduling, memory allocation, file system access, network access etc - you have to compile it into the binary that's loaded into the microcontroller.

Only languages which compile directly to machine code are really suitable for that - C, C++, Rust (plus a long list of less common ones - this list of languages which can compile using LLVM is a good place to start https://github.com/learn-llvm/awesome-llvm?tab=readme-ov-fil...)
Being genuinely interested in others seems like a life lesson many of us should internalize from an early age. Thanks for this deep insight :)

Compression and tension are quite different loads. There have been rockets in history that would collapse under their own weight unpressurized. Neutron's second stage is a hung tank for similar reasons. Bucking is a pain. Super Heavy can obviously support its own weight, but tension is always going to be the easier load path.

Project management strikes me as one of those fuzzy complicated looking problems that, for some reason, are always approached as a single problem that needs one UI. In my mind it is not a single problem.

I'd try a more modular approach because IMO a substantial part of the problem is "horses for courses": PMs and developers have very different skills and requirements. Even inside those categories there is substantial variation.

I see no reason why the UI for developers has to be same as for PMs and higher ups. My ideal PM solution would involve the CLI and the notion of committing changes and being able to organize information cleverly. Efficiency, bare-boned, no fluff, no pixels that add zero information. These would all be things I am interested in.

My boss' ideal PM solution would probably involve some unholy marriage of Salesforce, Excel and CSVs without any organization whatsoever in a screen that explodes with fireworks and deliberately slows everything down and adds lag and loading screens so you feel you are doing important work. You can tell I am jaded, but my point is, fine. Let them have it. I see no reason to approach this problem with one, fixed, set of interaction patterns.

It's a common theme these days for me. Why does everything has to be so monolithic? Why is everything so samey?
Gnome 1.4 with Sawfish it was, even more than KWM thanks to Lisp.

Then RedHat/Helix dumbed it down with 2.2 and beyond and with the 3/4.x releases we are still with a hog mixing C, Rust and Javascript.

sqlite can scale to thousands of concurrent users.

Personally for me the issue with all these new project management platforms is that the target demographic is either:
- they're so small they can't afford to self-host
- they're big enough they can afford the pro plans of more established tools

Small companies can get by perfectly with the free/cheap plans of other tools, like Trello+Google Workspace. Heck if you're a one-man team with occasional collaborators free Trello + Google Workspace (~$6/mo) is enough.

A box to provision the Huly stack might come out at more per month...

My uneducated assumption based on their docs is that it drops DOM elements or something, rather than network requests. The UI seems to be that you select things you want to be rid of, and the browser makes it so. They state that frequently-changing parts of the page, including ads, don’t get filtered, presumably because whatever they filter on is statically defined structure.
SIM cards are a weird exception because they have a hardware computer designed to run a subset of Java. Normally Java compiles to a bytecode which is run by the Java VM - in SIM cards the VM is a hardware implementation of the Java VM. That's super uncommon - most processors in the world have a different instruction set, like ARM or RISC or x86. Java can't compile to instructions in those languages. Rust can.

Yes, you can run a VM on one of those processors in which you run a language like C# or Java. Look at MicroPython as a successful example. But the code which runs that VM has to be written in something. Typically that has been C and C++ - but Rust can also do it.

You're right though - a lot of what we call "embedded computing" could be done using a modern VM interpreted language. There are some languages out there - MicroPython and Squirrel come to mind - which can run on the memory and storage constrained environment of a microcontroller. The mainstream implementations of Java and C# use way to much memory - they've been optimised for desktop environments. Microcontrollers often have 64 - 1024 kB of RAM.

You could ship products with application processors like the Raspberry Pi, running an OS, and write your application in whatever language you like. But that costs 1-2 orders of magnitude more money. A cheap microcontroller is $1. By the time you've added the RAM, flash and supporting power rails, a cheap application processor is $10+. Then you have to maintain an OS - that's a lot of engineering time. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not - the tradeoff depends on the product.
Believe it or not, there’s a lot between those two extremes.

> When was the last time you saw someone actually using the address bar in a web browser instead of Googling?

I used to laugh when people Googled a websites name instead of entering it manually. But these days, I find myself often either Googling (or DuckDuckGoing usually, but as a verb that just doesn't have the same ring to it)for the name, or relying on autocomplete from my bookmarks or history.

I feel website names have become less predictable mainly because of the explosion of possible top level domains: even if I know the exact name of a website, I can't reliably remember which TLD to use. Plus I'm more and more worried of accidentally using the wrong URL (through a misspelling or a wrong TLD or whatever) for fear of ending up on some scam site instead of the real thing.

You're right in that it undoes the cascading bit, but that's the bit that a lot of people don't want. The updates to CSS are rarely about how it cascades, so it _does_ follow the majority of updates.

Also, if you look at the docs, the mapping between class and styles are the first thing you're given. IMO it doesn't hide anything about the models browsers use to build things like grids, for example

Berkson's paradox:The wrong anticorrelation between desirable traits
It used to be common to think of alcohol as having positive effects - look at how people talk about it in old films. But some of the effects proved to be a problem in the end. for example, many people took a "nightcap"to help sleep. But it turns out that, while it makes you feel sleepy, it also disturbs the sleep you do get.

One "standard drink" a day, if that's actually all you take, is within recommended limits. But if you need it to function, it does risk building an addiction. And it wouldn't be great to take it at night

I don't disagree with you. My comment was merely to agree with another commenter who said that there is a catch-22: Rust developers can't find jobs, while companies who are looking for Rust developers can't find candidates, because Rust can't really find its place in the industry outside the crypto world.
