Yup. I agree with the premise of the parent post, but they A) mistook the most critically acclaimed game, it being “The Last of Us” and B) named a whole slew of “indie” titles.
Reminds me of the Library of Babel for some reason:

https://libraryofbabel.info/referencehex.html

> The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries…The arrangement of the galleries is always the same: Twenty bookshelves, five to each side, line four of the hexagon's six sides…each bookshelf holds thirty-two books identical in format; each book contains four hundred ten pages; each page, forty lines; each line, approximately eighty black letters

> With these words, Borges has set the rule for the universe en abyme contained on our site. Each book has been assigned its particular hexagon, wall, shelf, and volume code. The somewhat cryptic strings of characters you’ll see on the book and browse pages identify these locations. For example, jeb0110jlb-w2-s4-v16 means the book you are reading is the 16th volume (v16) on the fourth shelf (s4) of the second wall (w2) of hexagon jeb0110jlb. Consider it the Library of Babel's equivalent of the Dewey Decimal system.

https://libraryofbabel.info/book.cgi?jeb0110jlb-w2-s4-v16:1

I would leave the existing functionality and site layout intact and maybe add new kinds of data transformations?

Non-fungible feelings
I am an academic who spends a nontrivial amount of time reviewing papers. My experience has been that the platforms used for submitting reviews are perfectly fine. Often outdated, sure, but I've never really found this to be a significant barrier. I would personally find it more challenging to manage reviews via email.
I suspect that it's an argument about nothing. e.g. I can think about my "mother's sister" but I don't care about it enough to invent a shortcut word for it like "teyze". To Turks I think it means something because in some families there's great emphasis on the connections with one or other side of the family. It's rather a brutal and dismissive attitude sometimes.

So I personally think that groups of people have a common understanding and some commonly accepted attitude that make up their culture. The purpose of words is to reference those feelings. An outsider can understand to a degree because we are all human but they usually get the emphasis wrong and also tend to miss lots of implications.

Of course you as an entrant to a culture (e.g. a kid) are going to get educated over time about what it all means and you're going to be discouraged from expressing alternate cultural values because overall not enough people feel like that to have invented convenient ways of expressing it.

So language is going to affect you but as some idea becomes popular and needs expression people do invent new words. So you can affect it - if you can get enough people to pick up on your invention by adding a new idea to their mental model of life.
Glad we agree that there is zero evidence of North Koreans in Ukraine, and that Ukraine and Western media were lying, and that you were wrong.

Omitting the part where it says “Russia’s far east.” So about as far from Ukraine as one can be.

Since Russia and North Korea have recently signed a mutual defence pact with stronger guarantees than NATO’s “Article 5,” the possible presence of North Korean soldiers in Russia should come as a surprise no one.

Ask HN: Are you playing Factorio this week?
As some of you may be aware, the Factorio: Space Age expansion came out on Monday, adding as much content, if not more, as the base game itself.

I've started a fresh save & ended up automating production of the first two science packs before being distracted by the biters enough to warrant investing in better defenses.

Currently working on a new mall design using the whole belt reader feature [0]. Having all inputs on the same belt makes extending the mall very easy as the input inserters can just grab whatever it is they need!

Planning to visit Fulgora first, and also hoping to start messing around with Quality [1] soon, as it seems very useful for space platforms.

It’s more like “Uber for your own cars”. (Would be neat by the way, although I have no idea how it would work!)

Emphasis in “TikTok feed for your clips” is on you curating the feed and supplying the clips – TikTok here refers to the TikTok-like UI, not the platform itself. I’m not sure who would want that, but the idea seems pretty clear to me. Perhaps a less ambiguous description would work better though, I agree.
> but every time I try to use it, I get stuck on "how do I get data into it reliably"

That's the same stage I get stuck every time.

I have data emitters (in this example let's say my household IoT devices, feeding a MQTT broker then HomeAssistant).

I have where I want the data to end up (Clickhouse, Database, S3, whatever).

How do I get the data from A to B, so there are no duplicate rows (if the ACK for an upload isn't received when the upload succeeded), no missing rows (the data is retried if an upload fails), and some protection if the local system goes down (data isn't ephemeral)?

The easiest I've found is writing data locally to files (JSON, parquet, whatever), new file every 5 minutes and sync the older files to S3.

But then I'm stuck again. How do I continually load new files from S3 without any repetition or edge cases? And did I really need the intermediate files?

My number 1 issue with iTerm is that it doesn’t have a usable, plain text configuration format. I want to be able to configure my tools in plain text AND in a UI. iTerm forces me to use the UI (or import a config file, but it’s not very practical).

Wezterm apparently uses Lua so it will likely never have a UI. I don’t understand why a config file would ever need programming constructs, give me JSON or YAML, not Lua.

> Overall, roughly one in eight adults in this country—nearly 30 million people—lack a valid driver’s license, one of the most common forms of ID.

That's a strawman. I don't think anyone is promoting that a drivers license, and only a drivers license is the sole form of appropriate voter ID.

> There's been no national election with 250000 fraudulent ballots.

In 2020 "In Arizona, Biden won by 10,457 votes, and in Georgia, he won by 12,670 votes"

Arizona has 4,109,270 registered voters, so the margin was 0.2%, or 2 votes out of every thousand registered voters. Georgia has 7,004,034 registered voters so the margin was 1.8 out of every thousand registered voters as well.

That seems like a very small margin of votes is deciding elections.

Seems like even a small amount of voter fraud could have an effect?

Wait, how are bots crawling the sub-pages? Do you automatically generate "links to" other colours' "pages" or something?
I used to work with German people (I’m Finnish) and despite being pleasant people, simple things took a long time. It was always something to do with the responsible person not being available, perhaps on holiday or sick leave, and it wasn’t possible for anyone else to take over their responsibilities.

I got the feeling that papers were being pushed around from desk to desk until a vacant desk came along and progress stalled.

In the same job, I worked with Americans. Very nice people and super easy to get along with. Always friendly and with a healthy sense of humor. A certain lightness of heart was always present even when dealing with urgent or negative matters. Only thing was that they made a lot of mistakes that often didn’t seem accidental — I saw a bit of negligence, along the lines of “if someone took just one look at this, they’d be able to tell in seconds what’s wrong”.
You might be right, but they do perhaps also have to establish that their contracts are going to be defended/enforced. Otherwise they have nothing.
Security isn't the only issue here. There are more and less "proper" ways of giving bots access to a system. But the whole field of RPA exists in large part because the vendors don't want you to access the system this way. They aren't going to give you a "proper" way of assigning bot access in a secure way, because they explicitly don't want you to do it in the first place.

Most enterprises have abysmal documentation on internal processes and standards.

There's a good reason that an early use case for LLMs is source code generation, because there's a large quantity of mostly good examples.

If you trawl the average company's internal docs (if you could even get a hold of them), you'd see a hodge podge of uneven quality of coverage.

It is hard to get any sort of automation to work when the input is bad and the desired output is underspecified.

I dunno if it’s really so simplistic. I hear the wait time complaint about Canada a lot but it’s partly because we care for everyone, so sometimes you’ve got to wait if you’re not in real trouble.

Especially with emergency care it’s quite fast. Back in August my son fell off the monkey bars and his elbow exploded. Ambulance in 7 mins. Hospital triage in 5 mins. Doctor 5 mins after. X-ray took 5 mins. Waited 7 mins. Diagnosis and sent to Children’s hospital one town over. More x-rays, surgery prep, surgery with two paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, four steel pins inserted, post-op, sleep, and he was home by 7am. Three more checkups with the main surgeon followed over the months.

Cost us $8 in parking. Never even saw a bill. I would never, ever, trade this for the American approach. I need to know that every kid on that playground gets this exact same level of care.

There is kind of a noticeable overlap between the stoic ideal and a schizoid personality style.

Model collapse. "No longer acquiring any real new intelligence" would actually be a big breakthrough, I think - with current techniques we don't just stop improving, but start degrading.

Connection to AI seems tenuous. The article mostly just juxtaposes an existing scam with speculation like "An AI tool might be able to recognize a vacant property in a database faster than a human could or identify homes without mortgages attached to them" - which doesn't really make sense for what should already just be an API query. Plausible the current bottleneck is that the data is unstructured (e.g: PDF scans of documents) which OCR + LLM could help extract into a database? But at that point I feel you may as well run the same article about SQL, Excel, or photocopiers if it's just that it makes data structuring easier and a minor step in this scam happens to be checking for homes with no mortgage.

The one linked case of supposed actual AI usage, a looping video of a woman staring straight ahead not speaking or responding to requests, just sounds like the virtual webcam input trick people would use on sites like Omegle. It's the ability to respond to the request to raise her hand that would suggest something more advanced, like face-swapping.
Given the amount of empty space out there, the amount of black between stars, it would seem more efficient to create shields around the civilizations than around the stars themselves.
Yep more or less, I liked the idea of having the “Passwords” contain my OTPs (didn’t mind about the threat model for having OTPs and Passwords in the same place), but I didn’t like the UX of the app and having to open it and navigate to my password entry to get the code.

So this app gives you a similar security model, but with widgets and a simpler interface. The ability to integrate with other native iOS feature like shortcuts also sounds fun to me.

Plus I could build it, and building things that I use is just fun.
