'Scared the Life Out of Me': FCC Complaints After Texas 'Blue Alert' Blast
Hi y'all

For the past three years, my wife and I have hosted Thanksgiving for 25+ people and 6+ dogs. It’s been wonderful, but also stressful. Managing RSVPs, figuring out who’s bringing what, and even splitting expenses sometimes feels like more work than joy.

We looked for a tool to help—but couldn’t find one that worked for us. So, we decided to build it!

Now, we’re looking for a few select Thanksgiving hosts to join our early access program for the app. As an early access host, you’ll:

Be the first to use our app to organize your Thanksgiving.
Get exclusive access to premium features.
Share your feedback so we can make the app even better for families like yours.
Our goal is to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on what matters most: making memories with your loved ones.

If you’d like to join the early access program, please fill out the typeform. We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with Thanksgiving planning!

P.S. We are not just focused on thanksgiving. Bachelorette, Baby Shower, Reunions, Game Nights.. if any of that sounds relevant to you - let's connect.
Firefox ran it, but very broken.
Hello, the image privacy of BabyGenerator has been modified, and now all user-generated images are private to protect user privacy.

Thank you for the suggestions and reminders. I previously did not think enough about this, and I apologize. I am an individual developer and still exploring.

I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. In future website development, I will focus on user privacy and the practicality of the website.
I absolutely love these firehose projects. So much fun. Makes me hope Bluesky gets 10x bigger soon :D.

If you add the following line just prior to the return in createTextTexture() the blurriness goes away:

texture.anisotropy = renderer.capabilities.getMaxAnisotropy();

The perf could probably be largely solved with reusing texture objects as a pool instead of creating then destroying them as needed. I'm too lazy for that though :p.

LOL, I passed by the article a few times reading the same thing. When I finally clicked in thinking it was something to do with the windows package manager. Something about the capital E. As soon as it was spelled with the little e, it clicked.
Hmm, that sounds like a lot more maintenance work to me.

The way I have it set up, I am essentially maintaining only one PC, in a totally normal way. I update Windows by pulling up Windows Update in the control panel, etc. Since I only have to do it for one machine this is fine -- orchestrating updating 20 machines sounds like a pain. Yeah I know there are enterprise tools for this but why bother?

Once I've updated that one machine I just run one command on the server and now all the machines have cloned it. At the end of the party I run one command and all the machines are reverted.

Also I can give everyone full admin access to their machine (which you sometimes need for games) and not have to worry about it, because I know it'll all be completely reverted later.
I’m honestly going to kickback hard on this. I ran a fairly big project which started on Gerrit and over time it just became more and more of a burden to manage and was clearly losing ground every year to Github. We eventually made the switch to GitHub and I remember how it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from the project and everything just got so-SO much easier.

The only “difficulty” we encountered is some of our older developers refused to learn the pull-request/merge model and kept asking if we can do “rebase always” on GitHub to make it “more like Gerrit”… I’m very happy I didn’t cave to that… i do not miss Gerrit Rebase errors..
"Works" on Firefox if you can stomach 300-400ms pauses every 2 seconds.

Edit: I just profiled it and it spends 42% of exclusive time in texImage2D. It would be better to allocate a set of textures up front and then use glTexSubImage2D to update their contents. glTexImage2D allocates a new texture every time.
I thought that too originally! This is covered in the Q&A:

Yeah, it's impressive that someone built this. But the most impressive thing to me is that he has a group of friends who have been doing LAN parties together for 30 years. I can't think of anyone that I know that still does that.
I think it's probably too late to change at this point, and changing it would probably not help in the ways you think. Just look at the freenet/hyphanet retroactive name change debacle by the original developer, for example, and how it has caused needless confusion and churn in that community.
The new one is a lot more expensive but I might get it.

If they're going to legislate anything it should be that door handles (internal and external) just can't be like that in the first place. I say external and internal because a few articles went around HN a little while ago of parents ending up with their kids locked in teslas on hot days and unable to get out because the stupid thing had no mechanical external door handles.

It really troubles me that in many countries we have to ponder legislating something as fundamental as car door handles. Like, yes, regulations are written in blood, but door handles? Do we really need to be told to make door handles mechanical and where door handles go? It's just absurd to me that these doors were designed as such in the first place.
> Also, I've bumped into you multiple times on this forum talking about governance, and while I appreciate the zeal PLEASE read an introductory book on Civics - you seem to have a cursory understanding of how governments are designed.

And why do your opinions even matter in determining what other HN users know about ‘governance’ or ‘how governments are designed’?

I'd characterise it as a gentle criticism of the way the Rust community tends to react to anything other than effusive praise.

Rust is a nifty language, albeit with room for improvement, that falls into the (sadly overpopulated) category of 'neat thing, somewhat obnoxious fan club'.

I disagree - IMO the idea of having superdelegates is terrible. Any way of picking your party's candidate that deviates from how the candidate is selected in the general is setting yourself up for failure. IMO this is part of why the party has lost steam and alignment with their base. That does fall on the DNC, I think
It concerns me that these defensive techniques themselves often require even more llm inference calls.

But if it does, then our understanding is wrong. That means there are new things to discover.

One of the common reported characteristics of some UAP is that they are able to accelerate hypersonic speeds without a sonic boom.

If that is true then there are things to be learned here. You appear to be saying that this obviously cannot be true because it violates what we currently know.

I think that is tragically unscientific.
But then I wouldn't know how utterly badass this guy is, shooting around those sweet ticker designations that all us plebs wouldn't recognise.
“write a piece of code with the reward being the ability to send it to the LLM to create some tests and then seeing a nice stream of green checkmarks”

You write code, then you send the code to the LLM to create tests for you.

How can this possibly be interpreted to mean the reverse?

That you write tests first by asking the LLM in English to help you without “sending the code” you wrote because you haven’t written it yet. Then you use those tests to help you write the code.

Now if you misspoke then my comment isn’t relevant to your situation, but don’t pretend that I somehow interpreted what you said uncharitably. There’s no other way to interpret it.

My opinions don't matter, but the fact that you make very basic mistakes around how checks and balances work, as well as how institutions are run in the US seems to show this lack of elementary understanding of civics.

> Why should we expect a general-purpose instruction-tuned LLM to get this right in the first place?

The argument goes: Language encodes knowledge, so from the vast reams of training data, the model will have encoded the fundamentals of electromagnetism. This is based in the belief that LLMs being adept at manipulating language, are therefore inchoate general intelligences, and indeed, attaining AGI is a matter of scaling parameters and/or training data on the existing LLM foundations.

I've had a similar issue with Amazon. Amazon was charging me for someone else's Prime subscription, apparently they had somehow linked my Discover card to their Amazon account. Amazon was unable to unlink my card, and suggested I get a new Discover card number, which I did (twice) and both times continued to be charged by their system on a monthly basis. I just dispute it every month now.
removing collective bargaining would be a fair and gradual upstream strategy the public sector would adapt to and reform itself around.

after spending over a decade consulting in the public sector, I concluded public servants of any kind should not have collective bargaining. it's capture and it creates the perverse incentives at the root of most complaints about it, with existential consequences for the whole society. in several countries, entire agencies get created to get around having to hire unionized staff in existing agencies, and they're just 19th century cartels that aren't fit for purpose.

it's the fairest and most wise path.
Such a cut would trigger a massive recession if not depression.

It’s already happened, for instance there are multiple blocklists that try to remove as many furries as possible (which personally is a benefit, although you may think differently). We also have more political ones, mostly anti-“right wing” as bsky trends more “left”. The more extreme elements of Twitter were the first to evacuate, so it’s no surprise that they’re already attempting to rebuild their algorithmically defined echo chambers. Dissenting opinions cause 3d6 psychic damage, after all.

I love this type of articles where we can reconstruct what happened so long ago just based on careful observations.

Some other instances I've come across:

* The K-Pg extinction event that wiped off dinosaurs had the impact it did because the asteroid happened to impact a shallow water region. This kicked up a lot of sulfur (in gypsum) that further affected global climate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater#Effects

* Earth likely had rings ~466M years ago. We deduced this by looking at impact craters from that time period, and seeing that they all lie near the equator (accounting for continental drift): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X2...

* Earth's rotation period was probably frozen at 21h, ~600M years ago, likely due to interaction between lunar and solar tides. This resonance could have been broken by ice ages (!!!). Amazing to think that global climate affects earth's rotation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_rotation#Resonant_st...
Yes. My point is that technology fads aren't new and getting mad at them is a bit like getting mad at fashion or taste.
And at the price of anonymity, and making the platform inaccessible to those who can't afford the signup fee (which will certainly stay 1 USD per year forever, right?) (inb4 someone tells me how everyone can afford $1)

Not to mention that this won't solve the spam that actually matters. What's dropping a few thousand dollars to a dedicated attacker?
Surveillance will come one way or another I think. When it does, the best we can do is ensure it is used for the benefit of all.

It's easy to imagine a school with cameras in every hall, and when it benefits those in power, the "tapes are pulled", but when it might help a pleb, it's too much of a hassle to pull the tapes.
A sensor would be easy enough, there are simple non-smart sensor fan timer that will activate a fan for a programable time.

> If you like Rust except for the borrow checker, then I would think you don't really like Rust.

The sentence in my original post that this addresses is supportive of the emergence of an alternative language to Rust for people with this use case, so I think we're just agreeing. (Although I wouldn't go so far as to tell others what they do or do not like based on my own ideas of what is essential and what isn't.)
So, blocklists maintained to block blocklist maintainers? Resulting in blocklists to block blocklist maintainers maintaining maintainer blocklists?
Yeah, the introspection is "get people to vote". Apathy has always been the biggest detractor from progress. The distractions of "listen to what (white) men are saying" and "fix the economy" are just distractions from the real reasons D turnout lowered.
Oh true, good point, being wired for ethernet is another valid usecase. I'm lucky in that my ONT is just a commodity Nokia switch I can slap any sfp+ form factor transceiver I want in the appropriate port of for the connection to the router, so in my case 10gbe is truly banishable to the devices I can't get a pcie card into. I'm still in the phase of masking taping cables to the ceiling instead of doing real wall pulls, but when I do get around to that I feel like I'm going to pick up an aliexpress fiber splicer and pull single-mode fiber to futureproof it and make sure I never have to deal with pulls again (and not be stuck on an old ethernet standard in the magical future where I can get a 100gbit wan link).

That has been a big problem for football, especially things like the Super Bowl.

People using over the air antennas get it “live“. Getting it from cable or a streaming service meant anywhere between a few seconds and over a minute of delay.

It was absolutely common to have a friend text you about something that just happened when you haven’t even seen it yet.

You can’t even say that $some_service is fast, some of them vary over 60 seconds just between their own users.

The Arecibo Message Turns 50
Thanks - implemented some texture pooling (via LLM). I think the blurriness may [accidentally] help with the retro aesthetic, but I'll try to get that the anisotropy in as an optional parameter.
I'm in an adjacent space, so I can imagine some of the difficulties. Basically live streaming is a parallel infrastructure that shares very little with pre-recorded streaming, and there are many failure points.

* Encoding - low latency encoders are quite different than storage encoders. There is a tradeoff to be made in terms of the frequency of key frames vs. overall encoding efficiency. More key frames means that anyone can tune in or recover from a loss more quickly, but it is much less efficient, reducing quality. The encoder and infrastructure should emit transport streams, which are also less efficient but more reliable than container formats like mp4.

* Adaptation - Netflix normally encodes their content as a ladder of various codecs and bitrates. This ensures that people get roughly the maximum quality that their bandwidth will allow without buffering. For a live event, you need the same ladder, and the clients need to switch between rungs invisibly.

* Buffering - for static content, you can easily buffer 30 seconds to a minute of video. This means that small latency or packet loss spikes are handled invisibly at the transport/buffering layer. You can't do this for a live event, since that level of delay would usually be unacceptable for a sporting event. You may only be able to buffer 5-10 seconds. If the stream starts to falter, the client has only a few seconds to detect and shift to a lower rung.

* Transport - Prerecorded media can use a reliable transport like TCP (usually HLS). In contrast, live video would ideally use an unreliable transport like UDP, but with FEC (forward error correction). TCP's reaction to packet loss halves the receive window, which halves bandwidth, which would have to trash the connection to shift to a lower bandwidth rung.

* Serving - pre-recorded media can be synchronized to global DCs. Live events have to be streamed reliably and redundantly to a tree of servers. Those servers need to be load balanced, and the clients must implement exponential backoff or you can have cascading failures.

* Timing - Unlike pre-recorded media, any client that has a slightly fast clock will run out of frames and either need to repeat frames and stretch audio, or suffer glitches. If you resolve this on the server side by stretching the media, you will add complication and your stream will slowly get behind the live event.

* DVR - If you allow the users to pause, rewind, catch up, etc., you now have a parallel pre-recorded infrastructure and the client needs to transition between the two.

* DRM - I have no idea how/if this works on a live stream. It would not be ideal that all clients use the same decryption keys and have the same streams with the same metadata. That would make tracing the source of a pirate stream very difficult. Differentiation/watermarking adds substantial complexity, however.
Thanks - should be better now hopefully on Firefox
People are always impressed that Netflix can stand up to a new episode of Squid Game being released. And it’s not easy, we’ve seen HBO failed to handle Game of Thrones for example.

But in either case, you can put that stuff on your CDN days ahead of time. You can choose to preload it in the cache because you know a bunch of people are gonna want it. You also know that not every single individual is going to start at the exact same time.

For live, every single person wants every single bite at the same time and you can’t preload anything. Brutal.
Before cjdns a group of us started "project meshnet", inspired by Athens[0], to essentially replace or supplant the Internet. At the time it was an idealistic/anarchic response to the Pirate Bay ruling back in 2009-2010. IIRC cjdns came a bit later and subsumed most of the group.

Who knew that a bunch of disgruntled hackers and software pirates building a shittier version of the Internet wouldn't last?
