A bunch of these are just improper procedure: several who hit the clock before choosing a promotion piece, and one who touches a piece that cannot be moved. Even those that aren't look like rational chess moves, they just fail to notice a detail of the board state (with the possible exception of Vidit's very funny king attack, which actually might have been clock manipulation to give him more time to think with 0:01 on the clock).

Whereas the LLM makes "moves" that clearly indicate no ability to play chess: moving pieces to squares well outside their legal moveset, moving pieces that aren't on the board, etc.
These are small, old dams, and peaked at 169MW production, while having significant undesirable impact.
>salmon were still breeding there. The "return" is an unwarranted claim, for they never stopped coming and spawning.

let's read

"Less than a month after four towering dams on the Klamath River were demolished, hundreds of salmon made it into waters they have been cut off from for decades"

what does that mean

"salmon are once more returning to spawn in cool creeks that have been cut off to them for generations."

"salmon, which were cut off from their historic habitat"

"salmon that have quickly made it into previously inaccessible tributaries"
Freeing up space by using tabs? That can’t be a big difference.

The reason to use tabs is that they are… better than spaces. I mean tabs are a superset of the space’s functionality.
I don't know who gets cancelled for having multiple lovers, even extramarital lovers. Maybe it should be cancel-worthy (depending on your definition of cancel) for people who build their careers on "family values", but it's practically a plus for a rock star.
That malleable systems manifesto really resonated with me. I actually did a project recently where I tried to adhere to that sort of ethos:

Are you suggesting that the Hamas leadership in Turkey is not responsible for the actions of Hamas? Or that pinning responsibility on one person (albeit dead) is enough so there is no more need to pin responsibility on others, even if they are available?

As a single example, Khaled Mashal is in Turkey.

Different habitats of algae and mud, so I'll agree of course better than nothing while also very far from the previous quality.
A "pile" is not just a description of the thing, it is an actual formal term (old one!) meaning "reactor". So not just a bunch of radioactive matetial.
I think a lot of people are conflating "bigger cars / SUVs over Prius" with "hey you don't need a Ford F-150". I agree I don't need an F-150 (so I don't own one), and 75% of F-150 buyers don't either.

There is drastically different cargo space in a midsize (not even 3 row) SUV than a sedan. Even a hatchback is drastically different cargo capacity.

Some of it is you don't know what you need until you need it.

With my non-hatch sedan I had all sorts of problems bringing home even moderately sized normal purchases. I'd have to unpack products to fit them into the car and/or wedge into the backseat with sales rep assistance. Lamps, mini fridges, large home air filters, plants from the garden center, wood/drywall from the hardware store that I'd need pre-cut down just to fit in care.

Some of these purchases were emergency backup mini fridges when my home fridge died & replacement would take a week. Or $10 of wood/drywall to DIY repairs instead of $100s of a contractor. Or paying 5x the price of the materials for home delivery. Likewise for plants vs paying a landscaper.

Just pretty frequent stupid stuff that a tall SUV trunk with a large hatch opening solved. Even a midsize hatchback would do the trick.
Then go search for it.
Lots of discussion about salmon memory and such, but is it possible this is just Salmon finding "hey this is a great spot"? It is hard to imagine salmon not being flexible to some extent, and still surviving.
Over here I was definitely told by Amazon drivers that unless they type in the code it won't mark the parcel as delivered. The same with GPS trace - unless they are within ~100m of the destination it won't let them actually mark it as delivered. Maybe your driver didn't care about having missing parcels at the end of the day, but the system is strict about it(again, over here, maybe Amazon US is different).
> It would be beyond naive to assume that Russia would just announce "we're out of tanks, gonna call of the war now!". That is not how supply shortages affect a military.

The West has been repeating the mantra of "the Russians are out of [insert Russian weapon here]" for two and a half years now, but objectively judging by what happens on the field (which is the main thing that counts during the phase of active war) that is demonstrably false. Unless you think the Russians are winning this war (which they are) with shovels.

Other than that I'm sure that the Germans themselves must have thought that the Soviets didn't have enough tanks to pass the Vistula or the Oder back in the day, not after Kursk.
Sounds like you had a pretty bad experience with FedEx then.
I wonder how they took pictures with four different cameras from the exact same position at the exact same point in time. Maybe the chameleon was staying very still, and maybe the flowers were indoors and that's why they didn't move in the breeze, and they used a special rock-solid mount that kept all three cameras perfectly aligned with microscopic precision. Or maybe these aren't genuine demonstrations, just mock-ups, and they didn't even really have a chameleon.
It depends not how many lovers you have but how you have them.
There's also the option of using the fact that functions are values, to simply create traitlike values and pass them as arguments to functions (a la SYT: https://www.haskellforall.com/2012/05/scrap-your-type-classe...)
You are clearly not from here.

Dam removal in the PNW enjoys widespread bipartisan support from both lefties and righties. I know many conservative outdoorsmen who know EXACTLY how much damage these dams have done to their life and livelihood. Many of the dams being removed are obsolete and produce negligible amounts of electricity, but their removal quickly results enhancing and preserving local fishing, hunting, and other outdoor recreational activities for current and future generations of outdoorsmen.
If all salmon returned to the same river then there would be only one river with Salmon spawning. Maybe they do have perfect memory, but a certain percentage of them get carried to other rivers by birds of prey who want to have Salmon in THEIR river

> Youtube to the point where they are able to enforce Chrome standards that prevent adblocks from working.

Youtube needs to profitable somehow, and advertisers are the best way to do this. If Youtube couldn't generate the revenue through advertising, what else can they do?

It's insanely expensive to do video streaming, hence why Google invests a lot in the new compression formats today, WEBP, Brotli, AV1.

Do you just expect them to just do all of this for free?
The physics engine we are using is Rapier 3D which does a lot of the heavy lifting, even though we had to tweak a lot the physics properties of the ball and surfaces in order to get something that felt right. For hotspots specifically, we implemented the magnet-like effect with custom code (by applying a force that pushes the ball toward the center and slowing it down at the same time) as there is no attractor primitive in Rapier.

The dual input is indeed a consequence of our isometric-view design choice, which I agree may not be the easiest way to control the ball. But the 45 degree angle just looks cooler in our opinion.
this works for me while the readme one didn't.

Also, the "thug boy" song threw me back to Fist of the North Start so hard I got wiplash, excellent choice.

I love this, thanks for sharing. When I failed to get a measurable time difference myself I was worried I might just be doing something wrong and it'd get flagged the moment I published my research, so it's great to get confirmation from other people.
Very long write-up! If you read it and like the content, you might consider ditching Python and start using Raku a lot and often.
3 or 4 mm in diameter, according to a scene in chapter 6, big enough to have similar resolution to that of a human eye, according to Paul, but able to look in any direction without physically rotating.

In chapter 13 the enemy describes them as using Fourier optics, though that seemed to be their speculation - not sure whether it was right.
It does make one wonder if "sell Chrome" is the opening offer and "place Chrome in a multi-party foundation" might be the eventual compromise.

Show HN: Logo Spark – Transform your ideas into creative Logos efficiently
Hello everyone,

I'm excited to introduce you to my project—Logo Spark (https://logospark.starta.trade), a website designed to help users create logos quickly. Logo design is often a time-consuming and complex process, but Logo Spark aims to simplify this workflow, making creativity and brand building more efficient.

1. Fast Generation: Just input your ideas, and Logo Spark will attempt to understand your concepts and quickly generate 16 different logos for you to choose from in about 10 seconds.
2. Diverse Styles: We support a variety of styles to ensure you can find a logo that matches your brand's identity.
3. Iterative Optimization: If the initial results don't meet your expectations, you can continue to generate a new set of 16 logos or enrich your description and regenerate.

Currently, Logo Spark generates logos in about 10 seconds, but I'm working on optimizations with the goal of reducing the generation time to 3-5 seconds to provide even faster service.

I am looking forward to everyone's guidance and feedback. Logo Spark is fully operational, and you can visit our website to try generating logos for your brand or project. Any suggestions you have will be crucial for our product improvements.

Thank you to the HN community, and I look forward to engaging with you all!

Ok? I seem to have said the same.

Where do you think the force starts on a rocket? What pushes the rocket forward?
Yes I have seen that one! It's on my list of resources. There's also this, which I have been studying the code of as I follow along with Crafting Interpreters, to try and incrementally understand the codebase:

Yep... also add the "let's go up the river as far as we can, and we'll find a nice spot somewhere over there".
> just because it's not the default

On HN, we probably drastically overestimate the number of people who change any default.
Fortunately a quick fix is to first go through a cryptographically secure trapdoor function that makes the initial check security time invariant, like with sha256 with a random salt, before checking exact byte matching.
Yup. It's also passive. The nanostructures act like delay lines.
> Insurance did not pay all the claims, including one ambulance bill. And Lindsay said the family received a letter this summer suggesting they owe an additional $11,300 for Brigland’s care. While the landmark No Surprises Act protects patients from many out-of-network bills in emergencies, the law controversially exempted bills for ground ambulances.
And when we build dozens more, to cover the capacity nuclear pushers assure us that actual green energy can't? Chernobyl happened. Fukushima happened. Three Mile Island (almost) happened. That's an incident on almost every continent with more than one large reactor. You absolutely suffer bravado, and it's not isolated by culture or geography; it's bravado that's baked into the widespread use of the technology itself. To lack bravado would be to accept that human civilization, in this stage of development, is incapable of responsibly utilizing nuclear power generation at-scale.
If you want to use Rust, Slint[0] may be something to consider, seeing as the existing bindings for Qt and QML are not very pleasing to use (mostly talking about qmetaobject-rs and cxx-qt). If I'm not mistaken, Slint is developed by ex-QML people.

Hackerone is swamped with vulnerability reports
I just set-up an account on there and sent a potential finding yesterday, then I got this "update" seemingly continuing on from prior memo like bulletins.

Triage Update
Hey [REDACTED],
The recent, unprecedented volume of report submissions has temporarily affected triage response times and we’re taking action to regain the quality and speed you expect. We’re grateful for your work as a part of the community and are committed to providing the best possible experience.
To address the increased volume and scale operations, we’re currently adding capacity to our team, refining workflows, and leveraging advanced automation. We believe these steps will quickly show improvements as our expanded team is onboarded in the coming months.
Thank you for your patience and continued contributions – this increase in report volume reflects the growth, dedication, and impact of your work as a part of the security researcher community.

Also worth mentioning this has nothing to do with me, I've submitted and waited before and don't mind. I just find it slightly.. concerning? That the vulns are really starting to pile up.
A side project I've wanted to try for ages is recreating old-school Adult Swim. There's a huge archive of bumps available at the Internet Archive [1], and also a collection maintained at BumpWorthy [2].

It just would be so damn cool to write a few scripts, grab the archives of some of my favorite shows, intersperse the bumps, and have a 24/7/365 stream of "classic" Adult Swim (which for me is the period from like 2004-2009 or so).

Nowadays, you could probably use an LLM to generate some of the more "conversational" bumps (not the ones that are like, cool or funny, just the ones that say "tonight we have Metalocalypse" or whatever). I feel like you could potentially make something really fun.

Liquidsoap seems like a decent option, I also looked into a Plex plugin (I think it was called FakeTV or similar). But I think the biggest thing (besides time) that's kept me from working on it is the knowledge that I just probably wouldn't actually use it, as cool as the idea sounds.

Oh yeah thanks. I had to do lots of stuff to make it fit:
- Run a genetic algorithm to find the best move ordering to save on space.
- Sprites are only 1 bit per pixel, with a 3rd color faked with outlining.
- Lots of refactoring, code minification, and custom scripts preprocessing the code.

This was a project of about 14 months, and I thought it wouldn't be possible multiple times. But relieved it is finally released :)
MindNode Is Becoming MindNode Classic
The Internet was fun and interesting because there were people on it creating fun and interesting projects and there were very few restrictions. Now it's just a shopping mall where people shout at each other.

AI is a trash compactor run through an HR department. It's already neutered and censored to hell. If you want to get the official, approved version of something, ask an AI. If you think that's fun, you've probably forgotten what it was like to be young.
Thank you. The physics engine we're using (Rapier) really does most of the work to make the spin of the marble look realistic. But we spent quite some time tweaking the controls to make them as enjoyable as we could.
Actually that's exactly how copyright works. As long as it's different enough to avoid claims of 'passing off', it's good. We need to get used to a world where AI can make instantly recognisable, but non-copyright infringing content in seconds. Not a lot we can do to stop it. If you want examples, take a look at the Asian product system.
Microsoft Is Launching Automatic Quest 3 Pairing on Windows 11 PCs in December
Another option is GraalPy (https://www.graalvm.org/python/) which is a Python JIT compiler. I've used it to embed an entire Python runtime in an application that's written in Scala which I then compiled to a native executable (https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image...) ending up with a zero-dependency single-file application that can execute and interact with arbitrary Python scripts.

As pointless benchmarks seem to be the thing, here's the numbers for different flavours of the one from the article with "10 20 30 40 50" as the args to make it a teeny bit more realistic:

C 27sec

Java 39sec 1.4x C

GraalPy 139sec 5.1x C

PyPy 252sec 9.3x C

CPython 1780sec 66.3x C

Not that this will tell you much about real-world use cases, of course, but hell, it's Friday afternoon...
You can't know that all services are running apt installed code, or if they are whether they were restarted already, and the dependencies don't encode what each binary loads at runtime. So scanning processes is the correct thing to do.
I understand the orphan problem better now. It's not clear what compiler should do if you add two crates which have conflicting impls (where both implement the same foreign trait for the same foreign type)
That's so cool - where can we find the list?
Perhaps I should have been more clear. The point is you would not implement traits. You would just implement functions. You would not implemet traits, you would just write functions iter and len for your type.

When calling a function, compiler would check separately for existence of each function defined in the trait. That is a trait would be just like any other type alias so that you do not need to repeating complex function names everywhere:

You could write:

trait Iterator = fn next<T>(&mut self) -> Option<T> + fn len(&self) -> usize

fn filter(iter: impl Iterator)

but that would be just syntactic sugar for this:

fn filter(iter: fn next<T>(&mut self) -> Option<T> + fn len(&self) -> usize)

Basically removing traits alltogether, just relying on functions.
* Recursive file system management tools. Most developers cannot navigate a tree model and cower in great fear

* performance analysis/monitoring tools. Most developers are astoundingly bad at performance and then lie about it with weird unfounded guesses

* markdown to html parser or the opposite. Most developers have no idea the actual cost of involvement required for basic string parsing and wrongly believe it’s free

* network proxy. Aside from authentication this is mind blowingly simple. Most developers will supremely over engineer this

* API documentation. In a world where the average developer struggles to write an email actually describing inputs, purpose, and outputs clear enough for a stranger to follow can be quite the impossibility

Technical capabilities don’t always change user experience
Years ago I saw an interview with a futurist that mentioned the following:

"One day, your kids will go to the toy store and get a sheet of stickers. Each sticker is actually a camera with an IPv6 address. That means they can put a sticker somewhere, go and point a browser at that address and see a live camera feed.

I should point out: all of the technology to do this already exists, it just hasn't gotten cheap enough to mass market. When economies of scale do kick in, society is going to have to deal with a dramatic change in what they think 'physical privacy' means."
What is the point of your argument?

I keep seeing people say “yeah well I’ve seen humans that can’t do that either.”

What’s the point you’re trying to make?
I disagree, I think the "nice little polished experience" is the difficult part.

In practice building something like this with resources that exist today can still mean a stream of issues specific to a given platform, browser, library, programming language, IDE, issues related to a combination of any earlier two and a yak that needs shaving[1].

Meanwhile this project is described as[2]:

> fully optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers, with user controls and UI components tailored for each device, ensuring intuitive navigation and interaction across all platforms.

If this process was easy and well documented, Netlify wouldn't hire an external agency.

Yes, and it is also something that we are coming to terms with now that we have a more global community.

The hit in question, the one that outsold any individual Beatles single was from 1976. That was a time when most people received news from around the globe in print, with most of those print publications being regional and a handful being national. Something similar could be said for radio, though some people could hear stories from afar on the shortwave bands. That was more the exception than the rule though, typically of greatest interest to those who wanted to hear voices from their homeland or those keenly interested in learning about the world. (Even then, language was typically a barrier. When it wasn't a barrier, most of the stations were propaganda machines.)

Even though your claim undoubtedly remains true, at least we live in a world where those stories can leak out.
