Your sons code is surprisingly readable.

I'm a little confused on how to charge up, but overall - super impressive.
Movies and music are usually made to be entertaining, but sometimes they're made as an artistic outlet for the creator.

I was listening to Schoenberg's "Suite for Piano" the other day. Did he make it to be entertaining? I don't know, interesting maybe. I wouldn't put it on at a party.

It's true that snobbery is off-putting, but if you're looking for artistic merit, then some works last longer than others. If you're looking for something to enjoy with your popcorn, then there's that too.
The APL keyboards are the closest I can think of.
>email is not data that carries any real liability.

It certainly can be when it is tied to other data. For example, your entire search history.
Probably be mass produced for the military soon…
I've seen this over and over. One of the main issues pointed out by TFA is that there's too many small tasks allocated for parallel execution. Rayon is not going to magically distribute your work perfectly, though it very often does a decent job.

If your algorithm is the equivalent of a couple of nested iterations, you have essentially three options: parallelize outer, inner, or both. In the vast majority of the cases I've run into, you want thread/task level parallelism on the outer loop (only), and if required, data/simd parallelism on the inner loop(s).

It's a rule of thumb, but it biases towards batches of work assigned to CPUs for a decent amount of time, allowing cache locality and pipelining to kick in. That's even before SIMD.
1Password too. This is a must-have feature for me.
Do you have some concrete examples of these reigns placed on our freedoms that most people apparently aren't intelligent enough to realize?
Ah, so either explode or go even further, got it.
On the contrary, when I'm given a fediverse or bsky vanity URL I'm inherently suspicious of the domain; and when I go there and see that absolutely nothing of consequence renders without Javascript, I am very much disinclined to whitelist anything, even if the page claims that it's just running a Mastodon instance or whatever. ("A likely story", you know.)
There was also imo a big cultural hubris among the Blizzard developers that if it wasn't done their way (i.e. they couldn't just take an existing IP like Dota and slap Blizzard logo on it, no no, had to start from scratch).

"State of the Art", if that's what you were asking.
I coded a game using AI as a 9 year old
He gets feedback from us from time to time when he writes really bad code. There are still many things that can be improved code wise, but I'm letting it slide to keep motivation up at the moment.

improving clarity of the charging aspect is on his roadmap for v2 :)
Frankly, it looks like a scam. It mentions AI and NFTs everywhere, in-app purchases are for “Mint Passes” and “Sticky Coins”, and it tracks users.

What this 9-year old did is different. Maybe it’s a modest game, but they used an LLM as a tool to learn to code, not just to produce AI slop.

It feels crummy that you’ve taken a thread that is about celebrating a kid’s first achievement in creating a game and made it about promoting your gamified app which appears to celebrate everything that is wrong with modern games.
Playstation 30th Anniversary Interview with Shawn Layden
That guy's continued breathing is a testament to how good NYC's surveillance dragnet is or at least how good people think it is.

I can't imagine doing what that guy does at the scale he does. Like you can only wrong so many people until you run across the guy for whom you are the final straw. Though I guess that might be why he mostly runs a ring these days instead of being on the street.
did you miss the word "distributed"?
/me claps and cheers
Which was pure and utter luck from scrapping a 10-ish year old project which who knows much much money they threw in.

What if Overwatch would've been a huge failure? Would we still vindicate Blizzard's failed 2nd MMO?
Humans are complex in their emotions, they might see a metric on their wearable device that alarms them that shouldn't and they visit a hospital out of concern. People who are more "hypochondriacs" might be more likely to buy wearables and hawk eye anything that becomes out of baseline. You can't likely help those people unless you address their underlying sensitivity to their health.

At the end of the day, smart devices have made people more aware of their bodies particular vitals and therefore will create more people asking for help out of concern, of which for the majority isn't likely to cause anything of concern
> your "arthouse cinematic masterpiece that nobody likes

You're reading way too much into my comment. Any block buster from the 80/90s absolutely shits on 90% of block busters released today. I'm not talking about obscure 1950s czechoslovak cinema here...

> ignore the sheet manpower that goes into making a movie like that.

A lot of work doesn't make something good, especially when cgi quality actually gets worse year after year. FYI the entire LOTR trilogy had 30% less budget and 4x the runtime of the last avenger movie... And they actually filmed things outside of a Hollywood studio

The only lazy thing here are the scenarists and the directors shitting out the blandest movies ever.
But then again if all we care about is raw entertainment then sure, it's perfect, very easy to digest, lots of colors and not too much to think about, the cinematic equivalent of fast food. You can even buy avengers branded toilet paper and bottle water, that really shows how much they care about movies!
improving clarity of the charging aspect is on his roadmap for v2 :)

if you use the throwing star multiple times, it charges up other ones. But if you use another one, then you have to charge it up again. I believe 4 throwing stars give you the exploding star!
> It was the worst supreme court decision in decades.

Probably one of the best in decades... Seriously how did we get to the point that hacker news of all places is fondly dreaming of a near presidential dictatorship where rule making doesn't even need the legislative branch.
I think it's fair to point out that there are two distinct open source models in play here;

There's the "old school" open source, which releases product for the common good. Think Linux, Gnu, Emacs etc. This group would object to the term "business model" since they are explicitly not "businesses".

The second group are commercial products, from commercial companies who wish to leverage some aspect of Open Source to further their commercial ambitions. Think (pretty much) any VC funded "Open source" product. I 100% agree with you in this context.

The latter group (sooner or later) discover that cloud providers will happily offer their product as a service, exactly how their OSS license permits. They are well positioned to extract value from the offering, and thus charge for it.

So yeah, you'll see these companies pivot to a proprietary license - but honestly I don't mind when they do - for them, being OSS was transactional in the first place do it was never going to last forever.
AFAIK .NET has no first-class support on Google Cloud Run.
Did not know that KEXP had an Oakland repeater. It would be nice if we could get one in the Portland area.
Great game. I'm very impressed that a 9 year old made this. A few suggestions:

1. Take input on the page rather than through a prompt. Current implementation breaks immersion.

2. I'd like there to be some time pressure. This can be done either by the opponent making their attacks on a timer (rather than taking turns the way it's done now) or by putting an explicit countdown for how long you have to solve the arithmetic problem. Maybe you can find some other creative way to put time pressure on the player.

3. I'd like a visual indication of when an attack has been charged.

4. Music/sound would be awesome.
Paintings aren't made at the "pixel" level and I think your distinction is especially humorous considering the context.
Appreciate the feedback on the code style & variables. I raised this previously but perhaps external feedback will be what he needs to get him motivated to clean it up :)
It's very good and I like that you have to do math to attack.
Nope, all of these things happened before the merger, the fact that Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, etc. was released after the merger doesn't change the fact that Blizzard was dragging their feet on those IPs.
NewSpeak with NewScript?
Is this just a matter of people having to step into management roles so their business is not destroyed by a collapsed economy, or yarvanism in its purest form, or are both things compatible ?

Clegg said hindsight showed that Meta “overdid it a bit” in removing content during the Covid-19 pandemic, which Zuckerberg recently blamed on pressure from the Biden administration.

I guess if I had my own apocalypse bunker it would be easier to checkout from society, profit from a disaster and just let misinformation spread wild too. Now we know why he built it, he can foresee chaos being created by his own inventions.
Hahahaha, this is so true. Regex is so easy to forget.
It sucks for anything with heating elements. 240v kettles and hair dryers are really awesome.
I don’t think that’s true anymore. I routinely find 4K/27” monitors for under $100 on Craigslist, and a 3080-equivalent is still good enough to play most games on med-high settings at 4K and ~90Hz, especially if DLSS is available.
I learned how to use Autodesk animator on DOS when I was 7 years old. Then again, I have been a geek all my life.
Had my 9 year old play it and he enjoyed it, though he did say that he didn't get why weapons were charging and when he could use them. Instructions or some indicator of availability would improve it, but overall it's good!
I meant in general: I'd expect moderately happy slaves to perform better, and the cost of keeping them moderately happy lower than acquiring new slaves over and over; creating slaves has a cost.

Accurately answering your question requires writing a thesis: one needs extensive access to accurate data spanning thousands of years, a solid grasp of history, psychology, ancient customs, etc. Those situations are full of subtle nuances; what historians currently understand might not even be that accurate.

OTOH, casting reasonable doubts by assuming a fair amount of people weren't too stupid is less bold of a position than "slave owners were living devil", but at least it's honest.

(Which doesn't imply that "slave owners were living devil" isn't true, merely that it's dishonest to say that it's true, because it's too difficult to know for sure).
Low-Income Countries Are Falling Behind
That's the only advantage.
> But there was one downside to AI. AI was like a human which is why you could talk to it like a human. But because it was like a human, it could also be wrong like a human. So I had to make sure that it wasn't getting the answer wrong. For which I would sometimes use Google Search.

I really don't buy that this was written/created by an actual 9yr old.

But this might just be my unhealthy pessimism/skepticism when it comes to stuff on the internet.
Everyone else in the world - and I mean everyone - who is not a software engineer - does not use Markdown.

There is a reason for that. And it's not because they're all stupid and software engineers are all geniuses.

It's because normal people do not want to spend their day wasted in minutia, carving out huge chunks of technical jargon, just to get some words on a page to show up with a certain layout and format.

They want to highlight some text, and click the Bold button, or maybe Ctrl+B, and see the text become bold. They don't want to write code. They want to just make a fucking document, so they can get on with their day.

We have had programs that do this for about 40+ years now. They are called word processors and presentation tools. They work very well, and require absolutely zero code or weird characters.

But software engineers are so insanely out of touch, so cluelessly locked into their web browsers, that they literally cannot imagine a universe in which a person isn't writing code to get some text to show up on a screen, formatted and laid out.

It literally feels like everyone in this industry is insane.
Who is making this your problem?
Well, designing a module to be a peer dependency and then not strongly favoring backwards compatibility is a choice. When you make that choice you're probably screwing your users, in the long run.

As a user of modules, if you can detect such module, you can choose not to use it, and save yourself all that future trouble.

Now. Let's see. How many times has react's major version number changed?...

Yes, it's not only react, but boy are they an enthusiastic leader of this approach.
On the contrary, static and structural typing are a match made in heaven.
We had art lessons in primary school back in prehistoric times when I was that age (sixty years ago). Plenty of us could create more complex artwork than that.
For anyone making it this far: if you need to catch a wild animal in your home, throw a blanket on it, then throw another blanket on that, and one more if you need to.

Best to use thick quilts that block light. Moving blankets are perfect.

For whatever reason almost all animals will freeze when they are entrapped but not in pain and blankets rarely will injure.

I have done this one rabbits, lizards, mice, and birds.
Amazing, a game a product finished that also mix turn-based fight and questions!

Great son and great parenting. Congrats!!!
Great job, lots of fun. Artwork is very sweet.
I have been told Revenge of the Mutant Camels is a cult classic worth experiencing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqt86q2PIxQ
> ... local generative AI lunch

I agree, just for my PC, something that'd enable small devs to create interesting foundation model apps that'd deploy to users using this local AI cards to run these new Apps.
Great game! I'm not sure what's happening when the opponent makes a move. Also not sure why i'm losing healthHP when I seemingly score points for getting a correct answer.
Carbon capture is of course less efficient than not burning fossil fuels to begin with, so the first goal must be to no longer emit new carbon. Then it may make sense to capture some carbon and turn it into synthetic fuels for certain applications because of the energy density and ease of storage. Maybe even for plastics and similar stuff. After that, undoing a century of emissions, that is a monumental challenge. Depending on how exactly we want to store the carbon, we might need more or less the same amount of energy that we got out of fossil fuels over the last century. Double our renewable energy generation capacity and then use half of it for half a century - roughly taking into account the increase in emissions over the past century - to capture carbon.
I don't see anybody thinking 1440p is "endgame," as opposed to a pretty nice compromise at the moment.
Just means it's better at one specific task than the others, which has always been the case. For each of Sonnet, GPT and Gemini I can readily name a task they are individually the best at. At the same time the consensus that Sonnet 3.5 is overall the currently strongest model remains correct, and that's what most people care about. Additionally most people do tasks that all of the models perform similarly at, or they can't be bothered to optimize every task by using the best model for that one task. Which makes sense since not a single cloud provider has all three of them. Now this one will likely be AWS-exclusive too.
That may be, but the host we had just sort of blank stared and politely smiled before going to the kitchen and I'm assuming screaming into the void or something.
That’ll just depend on whatever code was deployed to the cluster. For the clusters I used to operate, the answer would be absolutely all nodes talk to all nodes all the time.

I personally never operated anything above roughly 250 nodes, but that limit was mostly due to following the OP’s advice about paying attention to the configuration of each node in the cluster. In my case, fewer nodes with fancier and larger raid arrays ended up being a better scaling strategy.
I was tired of dealing with dependencies, so I adopted new dependencies!
XML and JSON is more like standardizing the voltage (and even there the fact that we still have both shows that it's very much a moving target).
I'm not surprised there's a disagreement. I'm surprised the disagreement is both sides saying "our way is safer", rather than it being one side saying "this safety benefit isn't worth it" and the other saying "yes it is".
What is the wisdom, in your opinion?

Revenue and user ship are steadily decreasing according to most estimates. Glitches and outages started happening immediately. Third party apps have been exiled. Hate speech and misinformation has surged.

From the outside it seems like the ship is gradually, painfully sinking.
We originally posted a link to the game on on reddit in r/programming, but they removed the post because it was an "app demo" and suggested a blog post instead. That got him motivated to write about the game (And I leveraged that motivation to help him learn how to communicate better - structure of a blog posts, etc)

Newsletter was added after people on reddit asked about how they can be notified for v2 of the game :) - I had to help him with the newsletter integration.
This is not the well-known Matrix service but another illegal service with the same name
GCP has ALIAS records in preview as of somewhat recently: https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/records-overview#alias-rec...
This is amazing. You should be super proud!!
v1.12 already has merged binary trimming, so we have cases with a full ODE solver that's not 10's of MiB (mostly linear algebra BLAS stuff left), and hello world is 900kB. See https://info.juliahub.com/blog/new-ways-to-compile-julia-blo.... It should release in like 6 months.
yeah, I think an improvement would be not using alert(). writing the question to a DOM element and then getting the response from an input field would be much more valuable experience for real world applications as web trends have moved away from the heavy use of alerts
Potato potato. Familiarize yourself with their history and then your opinion might differ
Very impressive! Hopefully you'll excuse this question but do you foresee AI in the future also taking over the handholding & guidance that you as parents provided to your son? (In other words: Will kids soon learn exclusively from AI?)
One of the best games I played as a kid was this top-down RPG; the graphics were 2D tiles, pretty clearly drawn with MS Paint or something close. UI was just Visual Basic 6. Indie dev. Fun game. This reminds me of it.

One of the neat things about these sorts of indie games is you can often watch the skills of the dev improve over the life of the game, too. The first blood spatters in the game above were little more than #f00 scribbles in MS Paint. Later graphics got significantly better.

It also had a generic name ("RPGWo", short for "RPG World") — "THE GAMEY GAME" feels right up there.

One of the hardest bugs I ran into as a kid was some code that was something like,

List lst = new List();

… but when I transcribed that onto a computer (this was in a book) I accidentally wrote,

List 1st = new List();

… because typography is hard, and the font the book used had a l/1 confusable. Compiler error, one of my first. Took me forever to figure it out. (No access to the Internet, then.)

After gaining access to the Internet, finding an online forum was the best, since then you could share a bug with other people! And they'd tell you where you went wrong! (Thank you, Allegro forums.)
> How many parameters? What kind of corpus was it trained on?

It's rare for the leading model providers to answer these questions.

As someone who applies these models daily, I agree with the dead comment from meta_x_ai. Your questions are interesting/relevant to a person developing these models, but less important to the average person utilizing these models through Bedrock.
Isn't that what this post is about? Creating a ChromeOS Flex VM that can then run in Proxmox?
You generate it in a way that is verifiably random.

If your sufficiently complex system can still "predict" the solution reliably, then you bite the bullet and admit that it does, in fact, understand what it is trying to solve in some way, even if you don't know how exactly it does it.
>It's amazing how mechanized scofflaws believe they are uniquely above the law, and that dodging law enforcement is a personal victory. I think it's a sad commentary on the deterioration of public behavior in America (and this is almost exclusively an American thing ... in Germany a lifted Jeep would be seized and destroyed on its first day on the road.)

Don't be obtuse. It's not about the mechanization. It's about the capricious enforcement. If you weren't so blinded by bias you'd see that.

I hope you get dogpiled for jaywalking or some other "we only ever enforce it as a pretext" violation. It might knock your moral compass back into calibration.
I think a lot of replies to this post are missing that Intel's last graphics card wasn't received well by gamers due to poor drivers. The GT 730 from 2014 has more users than all Arc cards combined according to the latest Steam survey.[0] It's entirely possible that making a 24gb local inference card would do better since they can contribute patches for inference libraries directly like they did for llama.cpp, as opposed to a gaming card where the support surface is much larger. I wish Intel well in any case and hope their drivers (or driver emulators) improve enough to be considered broadly usable.

It's actually much less bad than that. From the video at the top of the article:

• The cameras issued 3,000 tickets which "should have been warnings."

• The cameras issued 800 tickets for "no infraction at all".

So out of 3,800 improperly issued tickets (!), under 25% went to people who were legally parked. The other 75% went to people who broke the law but should have been let off with a warning. As a bus rider, I don't feel so bad for them tbqh.

I don't think we know the total number of properly issued tickets from these cameras, but it's likely much higher!

> According to the New York City Department of Transportation, the city’s automated cameras – including red light cameras, speed cameras, and bus lane cameras – issue more than 40,000 violations per day.

That includes many more types of cameras, but it's also per day!
This is pretty impressive! I didn't expect math, so that was a nice surprise. Many others have pointed out some nice changes. I have a super nitpick - the enemy's HP immediately decrements before the "hit" animation plays out. There is properly delay before the Game Over screen, so that tells me the HP decrement could probably get the same treatment easily enough.

Kudos to your son and props for fostering this creativity in them!
This is closer to an RTOS, but since we're also talking about embedded, we wrote https://hubris.oxide.computer/ for use in our products.

Kernel is about 3% unsafe code last I checked, which was just a few months ago.
I think there are two improvement requests here:

1. Dont't allow button clicking when not the player's turn (expect tiny dev might be getting tripped up by async event handlers here)

2. Visually flag whether or not an ability is charged
The section on Deriving the Equation for a Disaster is perfect.

After being acquired (~80 person startup) we were part of 1000 person org.

As the CTO of the acquired company, coming into a larger org, I was front row to this type of infighting.

Especially when the CPO wants direct ROI, and less worried about creating compound value.
Haha well I use to interview people while working there, I hope it wasn't for a mobile position?
