I’ve thought about making it sports agnostic, but one thing I realized (outside of the tech challenges) is that I simply don’t know pain points from other sports well, so I had a fear of becoming okay at a lot but not great at anything with the app.

Good call on the video - honestly the only reason I haven’t is because for some reason making videos takes so much mental energy out of me
Ask HN: How common is it to work on out-of-support software?
I've worked at several companies over the years and found that most of them struggle to keep things up to date. It feels like I'm almost always working on ancient versions of software and its always a monumental lift to update anything to a supported version. If you encounter a problem, the answer from the project is always: Update to the latest version.

It feels like most companies I've worked at are terrible at maintaining software over any reasonable period of time. This month I've worked on PRODUCTION applications using: .NET Core 3, Node.js v6, PHP 5, MySQL 5.7 and that's just off the top of my head. I've worked at some companies that have even been hostile to the idea of updating to a supported version of something saying it added no value and was just churn for churn's sake. Perhaps some of that is true, but it just kicks the can further down the road.

What I'm wondering is: How common is this? Is this one of the reasons (I'm sure there's many) why I get letters every couple of months saying my data was leaked/breached from some company? How do you convince management to keep up with the constantly shifting and evolving software world when they see little value in it?
A sane judge, yes. A judge searching for a fig leaf, perhaps not.

Call me cynical if you like. It won't bother me.
The web is already a game runtime that works on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS* with decent graphics. I've ported a couple of games. Here's Quake 3 including multiplayer https://thelongestyard.link/ and Cave Story https://thelongestyard.link/cave-story/. There are full-fledged web-native games too such as https://gooberdash.winterpixel.io/ (2D Fall Guys) and https://krunker.io/ or https://venge.io/ (multiplayer FPS). And of course one of the most popular recent games has a web version: https://poncle.itch.io/vampire-survivors

* Even more platforms: Chrome OS, Meta Quest, Tesla cars, Xbox, smart fridges, etc. The web is unmatched in platform support and more importantly allows you to completely bypass the software distribution monopolies on all of them. Ship freely without anyone's permission!

[0] Is It Considered Theft if You Remove a Law Enforcement G.P.S. Tracking Device from Your Automobile?[2020]

https://www.wimmercriminaldefense.com/is-it-considered-theft...
Removing the driver does allow for single occupant models that could be significantly cheaper (reduced materials, smaller battery - assuming they'll all be EVS).

It will be interesting to see how things develop once the driver is no longer required and cost is the most important factor (after safety). Exciting times!

Are you planning to release any 'end-user' features such as reports and dashboards? BI tools like Metabase already offer capabilities for SQL queries and database exploration, so I wonder what additional features or advantages your tool might provide to distinguish itself in the market.

> Changes in currency exchange rates are the best way I know of to get a pulse on what the collective population of the world thinks about what the US offers.

No it isn't, many non-American companies trades in US dollars without anything ever having to do with the USA. The world doesn't change what currency it trades in that easily, people will stick with the dollar until USA screws up majorly, like every previous world currency did.

There are no travel expenses, if grandma lives in a walking distance (or a couple of bus stops away, not that uncommon in Europe). She is also fine watching her grandkids from time to time, to everyone’s delight.
Waymo does not have 85k cars lol. In their latest CPUC report they only have 480 cars in California and that is their biggest market by far. If they had 85k cars and only 175k rides per week that would be the worst business in the history of businessing.
While I'm not defending the CEO in any capacity, there are many places on the internet simply gleeful to watch this man die. These people feel that way because his company killed their loved ones and harmed them directly.

I think a lot of the terror and push back were seeing in these comments and discussions is just how completely detached rich and privileged people are from the lived experience of the majority of the country, and a corresponding lack of empathy that comes with simply not being aware of the class war that's being fought. I think these privileges people did not understand how much of the populace actively despises them for being so privileged and umempathetic. Most people working at wendys or target simply can't understand how this ceo could've lived knowing he was destroying people's lives. And now rich tech workers are looking at their own track records, seeing a few unsavory things, and terrifying themselves over a slippery slope that makes them the victim, when the real ground truth of what's actually happening is that poor people are victims every single day, they're being walked on by huge corporations and abused to feed corporate compensation packages for executives that were fired for embezzlement.

It's easy to try to make the story about ourselves and make up something that makes us feel scared and vulnerable, like we're next. But that's theoretical, and imaginary. There's real harm being done to thousands of people every day, done by massive corporations. If you're willing to attempt to turn the conversion to suit your imaginary persecution scenario, why aren't you willing to shift the conversation to the real death and depravity that real people face every day? If you're so scared, why haven't you done anything yet? Don't wanna be one of the targets? The fix your shit and start working to better the world instead of extracting from it. That's the power of this assassination. The legal system is only scary to the poors, Healthcare is only fucked for the poors, job security and stable income and housing and for prices are only fucked for the poors. Everyone is scared to die. Don't wanna be, better start giving the poors other ways to communicate, cause they're gonna get their message across one way or another.

>I knew I had to get a food dispenser that I could control with Python, so I sought out to find the shittiest, most cheaply made looking IOT dog food dispenser on Amazon. My rationale was that it would have the worst security around whatever protocol it used to trigger the feeding, so I could easily capture and replay the feed command.

Turns out it was unnecessary but I like the idea of actively looking for the worst of something.

> You could ostensibly leave a few taxis around to service otherwise underserved areas and have them run without having to secure a driver each time.

I think you’re dramatically overestimating how much of a barrier obtaining a driver is here. The primary cost is opportunity cost of the capital that isn’t being utilized. Not having to have a driver doesn’t somehow make it so you can infinitely provision a fleet.

Bots can't be too smart or they won't be fun is true statement of all gaming automation, not just bots.

Left 4 Dead feels great to play because the "AI director" chooses what happens next based on how and what the co-op team is doing. It's programmed to be both merciful and unfair, as appropriate. That, tuned right, has you "riding the edge" though the whole experience.

(I guess in the future, game studios will use ML instead of manually-tuned rules and heuristics, for that balance.)
Ultimately it is up to the auditors. They routinely force their clients to scrap homebrew systems that work in favor of name-brand ERP that does not work, but on which the auditors' people have been trained. If they say: gold bits or we won't sign, then gold bits it will be.
> The Game Boy has less memory than would be required for a full frame buffer

This isn't quite true—you need 160 * 144 pixels at 2 bits-per-pixel. This weighs in at 5760 bytes. There are many other reasons why a framebuffer wasn't ideal for the hardware of the time, though.
Anthem's own press release:

https://providernews.anthem.com/connecticut/articles/anesthe...

They don't say what the "established number of minutes" are. Presumably there's a table somewhere. I darkly suspect it's based on the average time -- in which case half of the procedures will go over.

Are the other providers also paid by the minute? I wonder if there's a surgeon going, "Well, that was easy. Let's just hang out here for a few minutes before closing up."
Freight isn't just Amazon packages though, and I'd imagine most of it isn't.
Meh. It tells me to sign in. I'm not doing that.
Exactly. Citing cost has been an AWS play which worked during early days of cloud - so they are trying to stick to those plays. They don't work in AI world. No one would want a faster/cheap model that gives poor results (besides the cost of frontier model keeps coming down - so these are just dead initiative IMO).

On LLM, my experience with Claude has been much better than OpenAI models (though my use case is more on code generation)
Take all computers and make it so all memory has a 0.1-5% chance of bit flipping any second (depending on cost and temperature). That this just became a fundamental truth of reality. Any bit, anywhere in memory. It would completely turn SWE work on it's head.

This is kind of how traditional engineering is, since reality is analog and everything is on a spectrum interacting with everything else all the time.

There is no simple function where you put in 1 and get out 0. Everything in reality is put in 1 +/- .25 and get out 0 +/- .25. It's the reason why the complexity of hardware is trivial compared to the complexity of software.
Moving to Microsoft Tools for CoPilot
I never thought I would do this... but as a small tech company with ~70 people, we don't have the resources to build out our own internal AI stack. I am seriously considering moving from Slack, Notion, and Gmail to all microsoft 365, mainly just to get all the meetings, conversations, and emails into CoPilot. I want to leverage AI more fully over time which I think will take more work than just this, but it seems like a shortcut to start getting everything into one place. Am I missing something?
This reminds me of that Webcam video controversy a few years back
And more layoffs will come, until western studios start making good games that gamers actually want, not games they think some imaginary audience who doesn't even play videogames wants. And on budgets that aren't in the hundreds of millions, blown on sensitivity consultants like Sweet Baby and settling lawsuits on discriminatory hiring practices.

They'd better course correct fast, as Asian game devs will be eating their lunch. Black Myth Wukong anyone? Stellar Blade? Dragon Ball Sparking Zero?

Nature is finally healing, the free market at work. The indie game scene is flourishing while the old players are dying.

The UK already has world-leading companies (as do many smaller countries), but it's very very hard to produce planet-scale wide-appeal consumer companies dur to market size. Even if it does happen, the temptation to appeal more and more to the US market is irresistable.
I hope they DON'T make them like the DX7 anymore.

What the article says is true, the DX7 sound dominated pop music for a long time.

Many musicians were too uncreative (or perhaps it was too much of a hassle) to change it from the boring, over-used factory pre-sets. I seem to recall it was really, REALLY an unpleasant chore to make interesting sounds-- endless modes and everything set up with a single button.
The same is true of Rust. I have no idea why the author decided to print addresses only for C++ and not for Rust.

// (1)
struct Person {
name: String,
age: u8,
}

fn show(person: Person) {
println!("Person record is at address {:p}", &person);
println!("{} is {} years old", person.name, person.age);
}

fn main() {
let p = Person { name: "Dave".to_string(), age: 42 }; // (2)
println!("Person record is at address {:p}", &p);
show(p); // (3)
}

Its output is:

Person record is at address 0x7ffcfb2b4e40
Person record is at address 0x7ffcfb2b4ec0
Dave is 42 years old

Amnesty accuses Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
Thank you, I'll look into it
teacher here. this is actually really really smart if you take it in a different direction. what if colleges only paid attention to the first 80-85% of a grade students get. auto admission is given for students averaging over 80 in hs. a core group of colleges willing to accept this system of grading like the uc system would change students lives. there are a lot of kids who struggle in high school but do well in college because they figure out their vocation.
Instead of a copy icon, it would be better to just generate the entire content as plaintext in the result (not in an html div on a rich html page) so the entire url could be used as an attachment or its contents piped directly into an agent/tool.

Ctrl-a + ctrl-c would remain fast.

No, that's not hallucination.

In a human, there is a distinction between "this is information I truly think I know, my intention is to state a true fact about the world" and "this is something I don't know so I made something up". That distinction doesn't exist in LLMs. The fact that humans can be mistaken is a completely different issue.

I am morbidly curious to see how Waymos interact with the Good Vibes Only crazies. Miami is definitely going to be hard mode for self driving.
I would expect service to be canceled while it is pouring down. Do we have reasons to believe that they have the ability to ride safely during heavy rain? I haven't been keeping up.
We use Bright Data - so far we've found it to be pretty great, and very very cheap.

Would highly recommend
By modern standards it's huge. Everyone runs data-driven campaigns now, which is to say that they basically ignore all but the swing states, and Trump won all of the swing states.

Which is the same reason that for a Republican a 1.6% popular vote margin is massive. California isn't even close to a swing state so a Republican could flip 2M more votes there over what Trump got in 2016 and still lose the state, even though that by itself would increase their national popular vote margin by more than 2%. Trump got 1.5M more votes in California in 2024 than in 2016 and still lost the state by more than 3M votes. So Republican candidates for President ignore the entire West Coast and the Northeast -- huge population areas -- because losing there by 48 to 52 gains them nothing over losing by 30 to 70.

Democrats do the same thing in Texas and most of the South, but the blue states are bluer than the red states are red, so Republicans come into the median Presidential election with a deficit in the national popular vote and often lose the popular vote even when they win the electoral college, e.g. when Trump won in 2016 he lost the popular vote by more than 2%.

Democrats often fancy the idea of switching from the electoral college to a national popular vote thinking they would win more often, but it would really just change how both parties campaign. Republicans would start campaigning in blue states and vice versa but the safe blue states have more prospective votes for Republicans to flip. And under the existing system, any national popular vote win for a Republican is a landslide.

The better argument that people don't really like Trump that much is that he won so big mainly because the Democrats picked a weak candidate to run against him and they should have had an actual primary and picked someone better.
Great project! Do you think there might be some advantages to bringing this over to LLaMA-BitNet?
>I'll be calling a "ternary digit" a "trit", like a "binary digit" is called a "bit".

Shouldn't it be a "tit" if you want to be consistent? In fact, please let's make that happen. The HR execs are gonna go crazy when they hear the devs talking about tits all day.
Typically, loans and credit being more difficult and costly to obtain, higher prices for everything, and a growing number of large layoffs aren't signals of a booming economy. Inflation has a tendency to well, inflate productivity metrics. If we're spending twice as much for the exact same stuff as we did 5 years ago, we haven't doubled productivity.
Very depressing for so many reasons.
> Personally, the low-tech solution of a plunger stuck to my forehead with a klondike bar dangling from the end has always worked for me.

Or you could borrow someone's labrador retriever and have the dog pull you. They like to go real far and real fast... and you get to practice hard turns.

> I HIGHLY recommend favoring trail running over running streets/sidewalks

As a triathlete - I would add something: for me it's more a case of running on soil, over a hard surface. Trail running may take you to a stony path, which is as bad as pavement/concrete.

But in the end it's training your running form to be the best it can be for running, that matters. Running uphill helps to naturally train a good form, even if it's significantly harder.
Not to put words in your mouth, but this comment seems to imply that politicians successfully painted a negative picture of the economy that didn't reflect reality and used that to win the last election. While I wouldn't put that past them, why was it successful this time and not every time? Nobody even tried to pretend the economy was bad when Clinton, Bush or Obama were up for re-election, because it obviously wasn't.
As long as gamers can't define "good game gamers actually want", this is a useless metric.

We can also see the split intwo of the economies of scam- one real economy for real humans, who keep the lights on. The other a economy of exponential scams, creating useless virtual products for virtual customers, commented on by virtual agents, trying to marshal and control a virtual society. If we all died out the other day, this thing could run on and on for a million years and create a gogol of virtual dollars, worth exactly one potato in the real.

As someone doing OK economically, when I go to the grocery I see the same thing they do: Prices are going up on key items much faster than income is rising. I didn't vote based on that, but that doesn't mean they are wrong that it's a problem. It's easy to imagine that if you were barely making it, things are worse now.

Rising income isn't a phenomenon that hits everyone equally.
Those numbers are much less than you said.

Not sure if I would call all of those moderately priced areas, either. Some of those at least are the most expensive in the country.
