Really should have done with Meta did and grab one talented group to help them do this. And just work on a portfolio of decently fun, professionally made games. Not like Amazon that tried to just jump headfirst into MMOs and pretend you can buy yourself a fun game.

It's much too late in this stage of the industry to just look attractive for exclusives; the industry standardized (compared to a PS1 disc vs a N64 cartridge) and no one's throwing enough money to carry that plan long enough to pay off Like Microsoft kind of did. Not even FAANGs. But it's never too late to just make good games and foster series your platform is known for, like Nintendo.

But then again, Meta just shuttered that studio despite a hit game series from them, so who knows what's going on anymore?
There are ways to keep functional transformations and immutable data structures efficient. Copy-on-write, unrolling expressions into loops, etc. Proper functional languages have them built into the runtime - your clean map-reduce chain will get translated to some gnarly, state-mutating imperative code during compilation. In non-FP or mixed-paradigm languages, where functional building blocks are just regular library functions (standard or otherwise), map-reduce is exactly what it says on the tin - two loops and a lot of copying; you want it fast, you have to mostly optimize it yourself.

In other words, you need to know which things in your language are considered to be language/compiler/runtime primitives, and which are just regular code.
This was enforceable by contract...

The downside is that you ban a whole ISP because of a single user misbehaving.

Personally I sometimes do a quick request to /wp-admin to check if a site is WordPress, so I guess that has a nonzero chance of affecting me. And when I mirror a website I almost always ignore robots.txt (I'm not a robot and I do it for myself). And when I randomly open robots.txt and see a weird url I often visit it. And these are just my quirks. Not a problem for a fun website, but please don't ban a whole IP - or even whole ISP - because of this.
I didn’t know they welcomed this sort of help! How was your experience?
There was another post on here where the creator responded, and he had intentionally built a site that had bots endlessly digging further through pages, though I can't recall which. I believe his site was pretty old too, and of simple html.
Microsoft Excel has quite a bit of code dedicated to opening corrupt XLSX files. Pretty sure Adobe Reader does stuff with corrupt PDFs, too. The ability to show incorrect documents is important if you care more about reading the document than technical correctness.
Alternatively we can continue like normal because not much of value will be lost. Git is inherently decentralized. If A requires work by C they can pull it directly or B can pull from C and A from B.

There is no inherent issue with C's contributions coming in by way of B especially if B vetted and examined said contributions personally.

I think you’re getting downvoted because “yeah yeah yeah” is normally a sign that someone is sarcastically dismissing an idea, but the rest of your comment suggests you’re not at all - linerp is a great idea!
You’ll always easily find plenty of people that will say “that makes no sense”. But of people that worked in these sorts of fields, I imagine that, from the very start, there would have been significantly more than average approval for its goals, even if you wouldn’t expect it to succeed (such endeavours normally don’t). The niche Rust was targeting from the very beginning was one that was known to be underserved, and known to be rather important.
Wasn't that in the largely pre-computer era though? This wouldn't broadcast rubber seconds, you'd just convert as needed between civil and atomic time

Thanks you all!
> But in real life, when there is a team, you run into the fragile base class [1] constantly and changing that base class causes horrible issues across your code base.

And then you start writing unit tests for everything and wait 10 hours for building and deployment, which is a good thing because your employer will need more people to do the work. Or you can't fix a bug without creating other 10 new bugs, which is a good thing because your employer will need you to solve that 10 new bugs.

OOP keeps people employed. :)
Does "strong typing" now just mean "static typing"? Afaik both lua and python are already strongly typed. Javascript is not and I have no clue about ruby.
"Supply the country" is misrepresentation. He's not a baker. Microprocessors manufacrured by Baikal Electronics were used by military (however defective they were).

I don't think it's persecution what Linus did, it is a necessity
The sanction lists are updated quite regularly. When it's reported in the media isn't when the sanctions actually start, and when you've forgotten about it isn't when they stop changing or increasing.
putting aside my bitter cynicism of "Apple hype culture": I do think VR just needs to wait for the tech to evolve into the level of ease of "put on snow goggles" before we get wide adoption. But I also am in the camp where I don't see this being a market with desperate demand. The iPad is a great example because in many ways it's the same: some people read religiously on it, other people are artists and they catered to that market. Then others just use it as a "cheap" computer to put in front of a kid.

These are diverse markets, but far from the general market. I think VR/AR will end up the same.

The U stands for "uniform". Which kinda supports your point, actually.
> OO was created for a reason.

Likewise, null was created for a reason. Not a good reason.
Then what is the point of free software? By existing within the law mechanism it is on itself pointless: it is free labor companies tolerate because it suits their interests and it is for now allowed because we don’t live in a dictatorship, but it is easily hijackable and, as Linus proves, there is not even a need to actually write malicious code.

I wonder what would you think projects like signal, but the FOSS community too, should do if the “chat control” law actually passed in Europe.

EDIT: if, as you say it doesn’t exist in a legal vacuum, then FOSS is worthless and, I reiterate, just free labor for corporations
Settled at the eleventh hour
I mean... isn't that the point of dark matter and dark energy? To be a stand-in name for stuff we have to account for but can't detect properly? The dark here means dark as in "we are in the dark about that".

It does not really matter if those exist or are an artifact of current theories, replacing relativity is not that easy and there are already a ton of physicists working on that anyway.

In the meanwhile of either having instruments capable of detecting these or a new theory that demostrates that those are artifact emerge... they have to exist. That's the point of them.
> You think it would be better to have an open boarder?

Yes, absolutely.

Talking about "defending" your country from economic migrants is like "defending" your country from having a strong economy.

Meanwhile, border security does little to prevent actual criminals from entering your country, nor does it help with the ones already there.
So... O(n)? Leaving aside the fact that "3 * O(n)" is nonsensical and not defined, recall f(x) is O(g(x)) if there exists some real c such that f(x) is bounded above by cg(x) (for all but finitely many x). Maybe you can say that g(x) = 3n, in which case any f(x) that is O(3n) is really just O(n), because we have some c such that f(x) < c(3n) and so with d = 3c we have f(x) < dn.

It's not the lower-order terms or constant factors we care about, but the relative rate of growth of space or time usage between algorithms of, for example, linear vs. logarithmic complexity, where the difference in the highest order dominates any other lower order terms or differences.

What annoys me greatly is people imprecisely using language, terminology, and/or other constructs with very clearly defined meanings without realizing the semantic implications of their sloppily arranged ideas, still thinking they've done the "smarter" thing by throwing out some big-O notation. Asymptotic analysis and big-O is about comparing relative rates of growth at the extremes. If you're talking about operations or CPU or wall clock time, use those measures instead; but in those cases you would actually need to take an empirical measurement of emitted instruction count or CPU usage to prove that there is indeed a threefold increase of something, since you can't easily reason about compiler output or process scheduling decisions & current CPU load a priori.
Collaborative Filtering Is Wrong and Here Is Why
They're smoking something if they think anyone is buying this for 3.5k when it has exactly zero game & app support - discretionary income is going to be spent on things that are fun for deep immersion in a hobby, or else something that can be shared and enjoyed with others.
I mean, it's not completely fatal, but it means an approximately 16x increase in runtime cost, if I'm not mistaken. That's probably not worth trying to solve letter counting in most applications.
So we pay people to deny coverage, and then we also pay people to deny the denying. Broken Window Theory hard at work!

It's the societal version of Kurt Vonnegut Jr's "dynamic tension." Just muscles pulling against muscles for their own sake, with no actual work getting done. Surely this is a recipe for downfall.
More positive spin: every "kludge" you add puts more constraints on what dark matter could be. If we can verify that the angular momentum transfer under this theory is consistent with other dark matter models, we can build a better framework to test a whole suite of theories with one experiment.

Hi cschiller, I think we can help you with those issues at Waldo. I guess you are using Appium under the hood to get the UI hierarchy. At Waldo we developed a competing (proprietary) engine that solves a lot of Appium problems.

We provide the most accurate view hierarchy for mobile apps (including React Native and Flutter apps), and we do it under 500ms for each view.

I would love to get in touch: at e.de-lansalut [at] tricentis.com

Oh weird, there is a link in my bio! I wonder if HN isn’t displaying it because this account is a new account?

Regardless, thanks for the kind words! (and for those wondering, the link is https://heliographe.net :)
This is assuming an unimplemented idea has value. I think the value we attribute to an idea is actually the dissemination of the idea to others. Often a sufficiently radical idea is difficult for others to grasp and therefore an example must be created by the originator of the idea.

So when someone says "That's a great idea" what they mean is "That's great work".

Time will tell if others see an idea backed by AI work as valuable. Can they even tell? Who knows.
"indefinitely" might be a better name. (But I think loop is indeed a better name.)
Biology experiments are notoriously sensitive: even fairly standard protocols can be wildly unreliable or unpredictable. I've heard of at least one instance where a lab worked out that for one protocol, the path they took when carrying the sample from one room to another mattered (one stairwell meant it didn't work, the other meant it did). Even in much simpler systems you get strange effects like disappearing polymorphs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearing_polymorph)
I see noone mention the Segway flaw in real world use - if either wheel loses traction for a moment, the device will spin and dump the rider on the ground. They're laughably bad and uncomfortable to ride compared to a regular pushbike, let alone eBikes.

Scooters are a smaller form factor, but bikes should be the real personal transport winner.
I've seen this implementation of defer a few times now. I really dislike calling this defer (like the keyword in Go) as the given code won't be executed on return.

Yes, the US/Canada system has created an enormous unfunded pension and over staffing that Congress has been unable to fix. Europe was a lot worse,(varies by country) that they were forced to cut the Gordian knot.

France has a curious system of ministry companies that are set up for - say 20 years, and all employees know it is over in 20 years. Then a newco is formed that does not hire the deadwood.

But then we invented inversion of control principle to remove that tight coupling. :)
No I don't. It's actually not a big deal in day-to-day life. People often go "But how the hell can you drive if you can't distinguish red from green at the stoplight?"... in reality it's more nuanced. As another comment already mentioned, perception varies across even among colorblind people. I find it hard to distinguish R/G if the colors are not fully saturated or in low-light situation. Also the brain knows that "red is on top" and "green is at the bottom" at the stoplight and thereby improves the contrast for me. ;-)

My comment was meant to raise awareness of this issue with the author of the tool. Many video games, especially the ones with some kind of HUD, minimap, etc. these days have a color-blind mode.
have you considered publishing on f-droid ?
It's definitely not as trivial as the json converter. But not anywhere even close to complex. Recording audio is very simple, calling a remote API is too. The complex part is encoding the WAV blob. But that is just knowledge about the format with the exact code snippet that claude uses found in the first stack overflow answer.

And it is strange that Claude picked the AudioRecorder when the MediaRecorder exists. I'd wager a beginner would have used the latter(i don't use javascript and am not better than a beginner in any way, but i found that) since it outputs a straight wav file and doesn't need the encoding step. And since the data isn't streamed to OpenAI there's no need for the audio chunks that AudioRecorder provides. So Claude did it in an unnecessarily complex way, that doesn't make the problem complex.
The new chapter in the McCarthyan witch hunt.
Reminds me of the Magic Leap. Or even the Kinect. That use case is even more niche than VR, but setup some tracking gloves and you can perform gesture based actions on your PC (don't really NEED the gloves, but it improves precision without needing a special spatial comera).

Crude, but it's technically possible.
Nice hack, thank you! :-)
Ask HN: Is there any direction for my startup or should I shut down?
I've been doing web dev freelance for ~10 years and decided to launch my own product last year.

First I worked on a unified chatbot for multiple models, but failed to get any traction for it, perhaps because of the many competitors that exist. I made it open source and released it.

Since then, I pivoted to making branded & whitelabelled chatbots for your business. Problem: 24/7 availability to answer customer questions for business owners who have more inbound than they can handle, think branded chatbots for coaches answering user questions in their specific style.

Spent 2 months making an MVP, and started sales and marketing recently.

Marketing efforts attempted: cold outreach to ~50 contacts in AI coaching fields from LinkedIn, cold messaging on Discord to people I find talking about building AI chatbots for their coaching businesses on Discord.

Been getting a lukewarm response from everyone I talk to or actually mostly no response.

I don't want to advertise, but my website is https://prosgpt.com/ (old) and https://botjoy.app.

I was thinking to transition to website customer support chatbots but it looks like a heavily saturated market already.

Is there any direction for me with this idea or is it time to figure out something else again?

I have learnt the most from this website and asked because I have the most trust in the people here.
Yes. I think we attribute the cost of the human sacrifice into the value of the art. It's a like owning 1/80th of a human soul and hanging it on the wall.
What does the word "politics" mean to you if it does not describe the four bullets you listed that strike me as very political, like basically the essence of what politics is? Or was this meant as satire and it just went way over my head?
