I never played Minecraft but this just looks like a video of Minecraft.

Are the animations new? In previous examples using something like Doom, the level would essentially transform into an entirely different level because the AI was generating it on the fly. I take it this is the same? Using the AI to generate frames seems horribly inefficient but I guess is how we get to the point you just type a prompt and a few minutes later an entire 20 hour game that never existed is generated?
This article will provide some insight: https://insight.factset.com/sp-500-reporting-higher-net-prof...

In short, yeah, it depends. You need to carefully look at each data source and decide what exactly they mean by "net profit %" for an index.
Tbf I've had the same thing with macos doing stuff like randomly recreating my keychain on login and other weirdness.

As a developer really I can work on Linux or Windows or macos. Long as I'm getting paid. Tools in the toolbox.
As someone who wants higher density, I see very little progress of this happening. Voters consistently vote against it. The one exception is California state has passed some good laws around ADUs and parking minimums. People will keep voting for rent control and affordable units to prevent construction.

The other side of the equation is that wages could increase relative to the price of housing.
I second this, use Go. Very mature tooling, super easy to pick up if you already know C, excellent standard library, vast ecosystem, great integration with modern Kubernetes/Docker environments, great libraries for OpenAPI, Open Tracing, logging, metrics - all the modern Ops goodies. You can be very productive very quickly.

I'll admit to being a bit biased since I consult in the Go API/container space (see my profile) but I don't think my opinion is unique.

If you can avoid population loss, it's still going to work out, because a great approach to increasing housing supply is more density. Grab 3 adjacent houses, demolish, turn them into 24 condos that are only a little bit cheaper, and once you account for the costs of construction, it still works out for everyone.

So what happened to the owners of those three houses? Well, their land, which before could only had 3 dwellings, has 24. So while the value of the built houses they had dropped to zero, the value of the land they were built on went up spectacularly, so their investment paid off anyway.

Barring the craziest of regulatory situations, no house is ever a good investment. They degrade and get worse! But most homeowners end up ahead, because they own the land, and it appreciated faster than the house depreciated. And as a city gets bigger and more prosperous all land near it gets more valuable.

So all in all, in cities that aren't shinking, it's likely most homeowners end up way ahead, and the closer to downtown, the more they gain. It's only when a city shrinks that the homeowner really loses money.
What do federal corporate tax rates have to do with municipalities setting their own property taxes? Nothing stops them from giving preferential treatment either to primary residence homeowners.

Municipalities are their own worst enemies with restrictive zoning and small-minded inability to consolidate services with neighboring districts that don't need so much duplication.
AIUI they already had to do something similar on Windows. Enabling certain features causes Windows to boot itself inside Hyper-V, and VMwares own hypervisor can't run nested under the Hyper-V hypervisor, so VMware gives up and runs its guests directly on Hyper-V instead.
> Sure fully pathtraced graphics might not be 100% usable currently, but the fact that they're even 70% usable is amazing!

Aside from Cyberpunk 2077 and a handful of ancient games with NVIDIA-sponsored remakes, what even offers fully path traced lighting as an option? The way it went for CP2077 makes your "70% usable" claim seem like quite an exaggeration: performance is only good if you have a current-generation GPU that cost at least $1k, the path tracing option didn't get added until years after the game originally shipped, and they had to fix a bunch of glitches resulting from the game world being built without path tracing in mind. We're clearly still years away from path tracing being broadly available among AAA games, let alone playable on any large portion of gaming PCs.

For the foreseeable future, games will still need to look good without fully path traced lighting.
That very quickly pays for itself.
I have zero experience with this, and I wish it explained what these components do. What does a relay do, what is the "c" and "in"? Why is there a separate power source, but if you hook up a / b to it and flip it on, it gets power without it?
A part of the Defense Radio Institution conducts a secret torture operation to practice forced stress situations as one of many forms.

This mainly applies to the Department of Cyber Operations and Signals Intelligence.

Some methods that have been used are:
1. Someone has entered a residence where pictures and films were stored on an external hard drive and removed pictures and films through a data breach.
2. Minor girls have been encouraged to approach the individual in public places more than once.
3. Crime has been provoked where prostitutes offer the sale of sexual services via social media.

Electronic devices are monitored, where a profile is built up through behavior.

Social interactions are manipulated to act or say things on behalf of a part of fra.se as an agent.

Petitioning has been done through a false flag operation as a strategy to mislead or manipulate public perception.

The right to work is removed and the individual is kept isolated indirectly.

Local authorities have been contacted regarding this.

Signals in electronic form are physically exerted against the body on a daily basis where involuntary physical reactions occur and can be perceived as a long-term build-up of behavior that mimics disability and/or functional impairment.

You destroy the individual's life and future, where the goal is to make him unreliable and claim that he has mental problems in order to lock me in a mental hospital.

Do you think it will get as high as %50 per month or something like %25 a year and would this inflation have any effect on future US Federal liabilities?
I had just been playing the splendid voxel game teardown recently, and noticed on reading this headline that characters in the game are named after Amanatides and Woo! What a fun Easter egg.
It's only a political battle to win as long as the disenfranchised accept arguing about it is the only framework for dealing with it. People who consistently oppose change are lucky everyone else is relatively chill—so far—about losing access to a certain kind agency over one's future in their community. One could imagine a tipping point whereby the disenfranchised start approaching the situation more directly.
You'd expect that if you assume that US cities are all pretty similar in their car-centeredness, but NYC and LA couldn't be more different in this respect.
Exactly -- Tokyo has kept housing costs under control for this reason.

There are zoning codes in Tokyo, but they're quite flexible compared to what people in the US are used to. In addition, perhaps most importantly, it's not possible to oppose construction, as opposed to the the US, where literally anyone can halt a construction project indefinitely for literally any bogus reason.

All I can suggest is that SoCal prices can and do crash... but the cycles are so long as to skip parts of generations who would/should normally be able to buy homes. I lucked out and bought 14 years ago (after seemingly "priced out" for 10+ years)
As someone with ADHD, I think this is a great idea. Yes it's expensive, but the reason why a lot of neurotypical solutions don't work for me is because they lack design details and nuances that the ADHD brain requires. I've spoken to non-ADHD therapists in the past (great for some things!), and have also spoken with ADHD coaches and there is a difference.
It's weird to think of a hopeful story of a $43Bn acquisition.
libfuzzer has features to solve comparisons including a comparison table and value profile. in either case, it should be pretty easy to find that a 1024 size input unlocks new coverage without any of those fancy features. i doubt that was the problem here.
But we offer base models with paltry memory and solder our ssds and ram modules (look at the ram/ssd chips next to the m chip itself under the heat spreader, they could make em low profile socketed for sure).
People in the fashion industry do the same thing, basically, that architects and car body designers and other product designers do: they design the clothes that people wear. Apparently, people don't want to just keep wearing the same designs that were popular in 1950 or 1850 or even 10 years ago, so clothing designers create new designs. Many of them go nowhere, but some are popular are sell well. Over time, this results in fashion trends changing, which is why you can look at photographs of people in the 1980s or 2000s and see that their clothing styles are noticeably different from now. Of course, this generally seems to be more noticeable to women than men as they generally have a greater interest in being fashionable (though plenty of men do too, though probably far, far less among the crowd that frequents HN).
I do, but I also enjoy the fact I'm making something, what is the point of making something when I can have something else make it. It's similar to deciding to dig up my front yard by hand to build a new garden rather than use a machine. You can do it, but you know it's pointless. Now imagine when EVERYTHING is like that?

It will be strange.
Not OP nor a tax-lawyer, but I think they meant that the federal tax code changed so that:

1. It became was more-expensive for individuals to own a house, especially in areas with high local property taxes. (Losing the ability to deduct those payments from their personal federal income bill.)

2. Taxes on corporate profits went down in general, and some portion of those corporations may be in the business of buying housing and then renting them out. (Since companies are taxed on profit rather than income, they already pseudo-deduct property taxes and other expenses.)

That said, those two items don't feel like, er, "two ends of the same see-saw" to me, especially given how #2 is very broad.
I think there’s a preserve incentive with city council. Most members of city council, and most donors to them, would benefit greatly from having higher local property values that deep pocketed corporate buyers bring.
I have a decent amount of equity in a house that didn't cost me a lot. Small town, housing supply is okay, market has been up in recent years.

If I lost my job and was unable to find something reasonable in my relatively non-existent local job market, I would be looking to move to somewhere with a larger employer base and barely be able to make a down payment on entry level housing.
Years ago, there used to be a chasm between the Bell-heads who ran the telecom network and the Net-heads that ran ARPAnet. They would scoff at one another good naturedly and ignore what each other was up to.

So it's with some amusement that I see this new protocol is named RTP, which clashes perfectly with the RTP that represents how the Net heads and Bell people finally came to terms with each other. What next, SIP for Super Internet Protocol?
Could it be that Kagi benefits from being niche, though? Google search gets gamed because it’s the most popular and therefore gaming it gives the best return. I wonder if Kagi would have the same issues if it was the top dog.
I agree, "The USD/American economy will crash!" and "China will implode!" are perhaps the two textbook examples of yokels yapping baselessly about doomsdays I've consistently heard and turn out wrong over my entire lifetime.

Entire foreign countries (read: most of the world worth caring about) invest in and hold the US, whether that's stocks or bonds (Treasury bonds especially) or literal USD. The only way the US crashes at this point is if the entirety of humanity has shit the bed, it's otherwise a force of nature only going up up up.
Processor roadmaps a multi year plans, I doubt Apple aligned their roadmap to geekbench supporting SVE. More likely a happy alignment of plan(et)s.
Its quite a nice circle. First you limit voting rights to land owners, then people wise up and let everyone vote, then you incentivize anyone that may vote to buy land.
>Roomba doing vacuuming

This is a bad example I think: Roomba seems to be dying, as other competitors are making vacuum robots that look similar yet are technically far superior. It's almost like talking about spreadsheets and giving Lotus as the canonical example.
> With ads, I don't pay people writing articles, creating content or doing research.

You do. The ad broker sells access to your eyeballs to a company, and then gives part of that money to whichever parties have a monetization agreement in the content.

> "How else would you achieve X than by manipulating people visiting your website into paying for things they probably don't need, and be misinformed and tracked by powerful commercial and political entities?" - I can but shrug at this question.

Always fun to see people with strong opinions be critically misinformed.

Brave’s ads don’t have tracking, by design.

> The vast majority of written content is never rewarded or compensated monetarily, ads or no ads.

By that logic we should stop paying for art?
disjoint union vs union.

Scala3 is the only programming language to implement both AFAIK.

C# has a proposal to add both unions and disjoint unions: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/main/proposals/Typ...

OCaml has polymorphic variants which are open disjoint unions.

Kotlin is looking to add union types for errors: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-68296/Union-Types-fo...

I believe Java's checked exceptions behave somewhat like union types.

I know all this, it's basic common sense, but when you REALLY think about what you're saying, it's still strange.

Likely a humanoid robot will be able to play guitar 1000x better than hendrix, then what's the point in you becoming as good as Hendrix, so you can play guitar for yourself in your basement?

The difference between today and the future is, today there are still things humans can do better than machines and robots, when there isn't, it will be weird.
C for coil or control. Not sure.

A relay is a mechanical switch controlled by an electromagnet composed of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core, as depicted on the icon. When current flows through the coil, it pulls the metal spring towards it, which can either allow current to flow from "in" to the output or disconnect the current flow from "in" to the output. Those are the two types of relay components on offer.
Once again you think it's a good policy to indefinitely retain data after nearly three years since canceling and you can't imagine why consumers would be upset about this policy?

Hopefully something breaks through your mind, maybe you're understand why the majority of the public don't trust or like big tech.
I feel like immigration is effectively unlimited from the perspective of big cities. There's friction moving states, and some things keep people anchored, but the market is nationwide. If you built enough in NYC to make rent comparable to other major cities, then significantly more people would want to move to NYC.
Letting a majority of voters benefit from their home equity was a colossal mistake that will harm society for ages to come
While I feel people who benefit from treatment (even those who are yet untreated,) shouldn't be denied treatments that are a clear positive contribution to quality of life, I tend to agree that it's not a disorder of the individual but a normal response to the disorder imposed by society as it operates now. The attention economy impairs attention spans.
You can pick up any hobby now and there'll be someone who's 10x better then you at it.
It was a sad day when I learned there exist actual shade inspections as part of the development approval process in some places. I legit thought it was just a way to mock NIMBYs who say that stuff. It was on that day I kind of just stopped hoping for a better future in terms of housing.
Society is imposing the 30+ year working requirement on us. It's not really required nor as it been for basically ever. We don't need advanced robots to stop that madness.
Entries like these should be submitted to the MyCroft search database.
It sure feels like everyone is ADHD but I'd also assume there are the outliers where it's debilitating.
As with several others in this thread, I've been using Kagi's GPT-aided search, FastGPT, for much of this year, figuring I should probably dip my toes into what LLMs are making possible, as well as their limits.

For someone who's used online keyword-based search since the 1980s (computerised library catalogues, at the time), it's jarring for me to get over the distinction of querying for documents (old school) as opposed to asking direct questions, but that's precisely what LLM-based GPTs facilitate.

And as I'd noted this past June, it's a sea change in online search:

[O]ne of the upsides of GPTs / LLMs is that they provide direct answers to questions, though those answers may be hallucinations or generalisations. Even then, the directness is refreshing, though I expect it to also get polluted rapidly through both AI SEO manipulation and advertising / general enshittification of AI engines.

<https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/112577405443953191>

I generally rely on Kagi's LLM for various reasons, but foremost is that it relies on current Web search and cites its findings specifically, which makes validating responses and detecting hallucinations far easier. ChatGPT specifically would hallucinate not only its responses but the citations it provided when those were requested, which curbed my enthusiasm greatly. It'll be interesting to see how its search-oriented offering fares.

I strongly agree with Temporal's excellent observation that this is, at least for the moment, a strong shift of the Web back to serving readers rather than advertisers (first and foremost) and publishers (distant second): <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42011414>.

What I strongly suspect is that any successful GPT search tools will be rapidly engrossed by existing search monopolies. For those who defend the "free market" on the basis that competitors can emerge, the countervailing force of mergers and acquisitions must be noted, as well as the fact that these almost always effectively destroy that competitive potential, at least over the past half century or so.
Let's Encrypt was unable to validate domain names
The limitation with that is no hybrid search, which is often needed. “Show me only results for this user or tenant or category etc.”
If you want to consider interest rates in the usual model where increases are meant to reduce demand and lower prices, the Fed either really screwed up or we're about to see a huge drop in the housing market.

Prices consistently went up over the last couple years of high rates. The recent fed funds rate drop didn't seem to help, and last I checked loan rates had stayed flat or actually gone up a bit.

If loans weren't hurt enough them the Fed stopped raising rates too early and dropped much too early. Otherwise it would seem that they dropped in anticipation of something coming and loan rates are staying high anticipating higher risk of the same issues ahead.
No one is obligated to be interested in everything, but I don't understand why you are bragging about your lack of intellectual curiosity about precise mathematical thinking. The difference between triangle trigonometry and unit circle trigonometry is well known to mathematics and important for constructing correct proofs (see the OP's cited Zimba's paper for a recent explanation), and deserves a name for clarity in exposition.

If anything, "trigonometric" is the word they should have avoided, since, even though the word is etymologocally closely associated with triangles as they said, it is also commonly used to refer to exactly the thing they are trying to avoid -- dependency on the Pythagorian theorem, which was the spource of all the confusion and fuss and terrible media reporting when they first published their proof and referred to an ill-defined statement in a 100 year old textbook.

There are hundreds of old proofs of Pythagorean Theorem. I'm sure you can find one that satisfies you. For those of us who enjoy new ideas that push back the intellectual frontier, this paper is very nice.
I've always thought that lichens were only found on hundreds- or thousands-of-years-old rock exposures. But, we have a deck table with a metal mesh top. It was last painted about 15 years ago, and is outdoors year round. A few years back I was amazed to see that flecks of lichen had colonized the table top. I guess they grow faster than I thought.
A relay is an electrically controlled switch. If the coil (c) is powered then the switch state goes from its default state to the alternate. So a default on switch passes on the value of in to its output if c = 0, but when c = 1 (the coil is powered) the switch is opened, or toggled off. For a default off switch it is the reverse.

c = coil, if it is powered it will toggle the switch.

in = the value (1 or 0 here) that will pass through if the switch is closed.

In code:

def default_on(c, in):
if c == 1: return 0
if c == 0: return in
def default_off(c, in):
if c == 1: return in
if c == 0: return 0

The separate power source allows you to obtain a 1 value (since this is around digital logic I'm not going to break it down further) regardless of what the two input values are.

Consider a situation like this: How would you output 1 every time both inputs are 0? You need some high value to draw from, that's what the power source is for. So the input signals themselves may not be enough.
The article literally is the opposite of the headline...
That is why we have WIPO.
yes, or to put it another way, it's the first Tuesday of the month unless the first Tuesday is November 1st, then it's the second Tuesday, November 8th

pointing it out because it's always the first Tuesday unless that 1 out of 7 where you have to wait a week -1 for the first Monday.

I think the reasoning is something like "we need to have a full business day in November before we have an election, that will give us a chance to fix problems or something"... not sure if under the old county/shire system months made a difference or something.
I subscribe to the NYT, via login with Apple.

Try to login, and it never responds to the login.

So I remember that I registered an account with an old email. Login, it send a verification code.

And then doesn’t respond to that verification number.

So I drop VPN… and it accepts the number… and immediately spams that email address..

Only to throw up another paywall.

And it still doesn’t accept the subscription I pay for.
