That's surprising to hear a story about under-treatment in the US. In the UK rabies vaccination is easily available from pharmacies, for a fee.

The nurse practitioner I saw recommended me to get the vaccine since I was travelling to a place where rabies is endemic.

Check the crime stats. You might be surprised. Exceptions exist, but... they're exceptions. My 5x-Manahattan's-violent-crime-rate former home county pretty well fit that description, and many locals believed it was quite safe. The stats tell another story.

There is another recent project that is more general game generation very similar to Genie 2. I can't remember the name.

It means they haven't updated their website since summer when the European football championships were on :-) (and that, as the sibling comment says, they're advertising themselves as a pub where you go to avoid the coverage rather than a pub where you go to watch it).
That is likely the case for anyone formally educated in C. If I needed to learn make I would, but I use cmake because I develop on multiple platforms.
RE: "Genie 2 is capable of remembering parts of the world that are no longer in view and then rendering them accurately when they become observable again." -- This claim is almost certainly wildly misleading. This claim is technically true if there's any scenario where their agent, eg, briefly looked down at the ground and then back up at the sky and at least one of the clouds in the sky was the same as before looking down. However, I expect most people will interpret the claim far more broadly than the model can support. It's classic weasel wording.
Two big easy and obvious ones missing from your list:

- Query injection (always a threat to any query library)

- RegEx DDoS (always a threat to routers because all most routers are is a miserable pile of RegExes and because route writers don't like RegExes directly, often include DSL compilers to RegExes, which can lead to their own exploits)

JS is a Turing complete language and though it is often run in a sometimes strict sandbox mathematicians have now proven there's a "0-Day" sandbox break in the Universal Turing Machine and that it is likely a corollary/relative of the Halting Problem. Sure, modern browsers absolutely have a ton of security settings and improve every day on that, but browsers aren't perfect (mathematically can't be perfect, according to our best understanding). JS is still a complete programming language with everything that implies about exploits and bugs and timing attacks and disclosure leaks. "severely weakened" is not "the threat doesn't exist" and certainly not "the threat isn't worth worrying about, it is fine to leave bugs unpatched".

It certainly means you can take a measured approach to how you prioritize unpatched bugs, but a general malaise sense of lack of priority in frontend issues is what contributes to why frontend libraries don't have the same backwards compatibility rules or long-term security maintenance habits as many backend systems. As an industry we are really bad about looking down on frontend as a second-class environment when it is one of the largest percentages of all program code running on the average user's machines this decade.

I could keep listing CVEs for days, and then still have weeks of lecture topics about how npm has one of the biggest ecosystems for supply chain attacks right now (and those are an active and ongoing threat). I understand the lack of perceived priority and I appreciate that not everyone has the same level of "full stack paranoia" that I do.

I’m Karan Krishnani, a software consultant with over a 15 years of experience in full-stack development, cloud solutions, and AI integrations.

I’m currently looking for freelance or contract opportunities (20–30 hours/week). My background includes building scalable solutions for industries like healthcare, government, and financial services.

The obtuse thing is you were talking about washing dishes and boston dynamics robots and then when I asked about painting, your response was that doesn't matter because of pixel art.

>Sorry, just a bit confused, isn’t focusing on an artifact of the painting, namely the three dimensionality of it, a superficial detail?

Artifact of the painting? Do you appreciate painting at all? It's fine if you don't, but that's kinda the whole issue in this thread. People who don't appreciating things making value judgments about the things they don't fundamentally care about.

I'm not sure how the texture or three-dimensionality of a painting is 'superficial.' Besides the fact that it literally isn't, it's an actual facet of the painting that is objectively there, it just seems to reflect a lack of understanding on your part. If painting is all superficial anyway, what does it matter that a certain element of it is as well?

Perhaps. If that happens, then such devices might become e-waste (assuming that it happens before they're updated, because this can all be fixed in software). But at least where I am I seriously doubt that'll happen anytime soon, to the point that such devices are somewhat likely to have died of natural causes before then anyways.

Just wait for the follow up study in 70 years on the microplastics and the brake and tire dust. It is amazing how much we’ve disturbed the world and our own population through industrialization. And most of it wasn’t even beneficial to us! Weigh the industrial efforts to build public infrastructure or anything collectively beneficial like medicine against the useless consumer crap product economy that is doomed for a landfill before long and its not even close. Thats the junk that’s backing up the ports and freight railways: not parts for trains or precursors for medicines. And it continues because there’s just too much money to be made for anyone to stop for a second and consider the direction we are heading based on what our actions actually do for this planet. There’s no real leadership on this planet capable of creating actual significant change, only people put in power to preside over the profitable status quo.

My theory is that that term has this reputation because it is somewhat dehumanized: you _talk_ to people, you _network_ with opportunities.
I think the parent posters are misstating an argument made by Kaplan[0]. Kaplan argues that religious persecutions accelerated from 1550 onwards. He nowhere argues that the medieval European society was proto-liberal or wasn’t intensely allergic to heresy.

There was no liberal freedom or value of toleration as we understand it prior to the resolution of the wars of religion. There was, however, a variegated patchwork of ad hoc arrangements based on custom, convenience, common interest, charity, forbearance (notably NOT liberal freedom or toleration) that allowed people with different religious beliefs, practices, and levels of commitment to live together in relative peace over long periods of time.

He also gives material evidence of how the reformation, counter-reformation, wars of religion, and the emergent nation state systematically destroyed these intricate arrangements.

Oh I know there's crime here in my city, but it doesn't reach my neighborhood.

Also the thing is the vast majority of the crime here is targeted. It's violence between gangs/drug dealers. It will never have anything to do with me.

But in NY and Chicago (especially Chicago) I know lots of average, unaffiliated people who have been robbed at gunpoint. Also large amounts of crime in NY goes unreported because people mind their business and/or don't trust the cops. They literally have had a "if you see something, say something" campaign for most of my life for this reason.

I've literally seen people step over people who were bleeding out from stab wounds in the NYC subway. I witnessed multiple violent crimes while living in NYC.
Show HN: Job Listings Scraper
I found my last job by using a scraper that visits company websites in search of job listings. Now I've turned it into an app for others to use and access jobs that are posted on company websites (rather than paid employer ads on Indeed or where ever). This gives the job searcher an advantage to find jobs not listed on job search sites and show the company you have taken time and interest to visit their company website.

There's a long-running genre of clickbaity story (that's been around since before "clickbait") that runs something like "America's five most dangerous cities!" and reads like the list of places many people believe are exceptionally-dangerous in the US (because of these stories...) but people consistently read them poorly (and media know this, so are basically lying on purpose, but big city names being on the list gets more attention, for multiple reasons, than if the list were mostly small cities).

The rhetorical trick here is the cut-off point. For one thing, you're limiting it to cities in the first place. For another, take a look to see where their cut-off for size of city under consideration is—the higher it is, the more it'll skew toward big names (duh) so they almost always set it pretty high, and the lower you make the cut-off, the farther (most) of those plummet down and off the list as small and mid-sized cities take over.

same q here. what can I do with this "world model" that I can't do with a game like minecraft or counter strike?

> Isn't it too much clutter?

I have never seen, other than like, methods on Result itself, Rust code that accepts a Result type as an argument. You are absolutely right that would lead to a crazy amount of clutter.

> Imagine you need to call f(h1()) and f(h2()) where h1() and h2() return the same data type for valid data but different types of errors. What do you do?

It sort of depends on the specific different error types. Most of the code I've been writing is application level code, so I'd just be returning the errors upstream. The anyhow library makes it easy to return a "trait object" which is sort of like a virtual base class in C++, at least for these purposes. With that I could just do

f(h1()?);
f(h2()?);

The ? operator lets you return the error half of the Result to the parent. If I had to do the conversions myself, if I implemented some traits, I could do this too. That said, I would probably use a temporary for clarify:

let x = h1()?;
f(x);

let x = h2()?;
f(x);

For some cases, I may not want to implement the traits, but maybe there's some sort of common error that I'd want to return to the caller. In that case, I may

let x = h1().map_err(|e| /* do whatever conversion here */ )?;
f(x);

let x = h2().map_err(|e| /* do whatever conversion here */ )?;
f(x);

These three represent the vast majority of this kind of code I write and see in the wild.
Odin can make stack traces as error types.

Your system with Java will break if someone else add an AuthenticationFilter, but my system in Odin will not even compile until I have handled all the stack trace paths that include AuthenticationFilter.

Do you see the differences between handling stack traces with union types rather than string?
Ooo I never thought about the issue of stitching blank space together. I wonder if film grain makes it trivial for the alignment algo.
Being number one doesn't say it's good for everyone here. It says more about how bad it is in the rest of the world.

Also, here in The Netherlands the yellow vests were mostly conspiracy theorists who would pull something to protest against out of thin air. That movement died down pretty quickly.

Protests here are almost always against (perceived) government overreach. In most countries even being able to protest is considered a luxury. That's why you don't see that many in the US.
LightUp – AI-Powered annotations for every page on the web
Hi HN!, My name is Moe, Today I'm thrilled to introduce LightUp — a browser extension designed to make understanding and interacting with web content effortless.

LightUp is an experimental extension that lets you stay focused, get instant explanations, and expand your understanding—all in one click.

The beta is live and open-sourced, your input will shape its future.

github.com/mohamedsadiq/lightup

It's designed to make understanding and interacting with web content effortless.

Whether you're an engineer frustrated with switching tabs while reading a document, or a student who breaks focus searching for definitions, LightUp answers your questions with just one click.

By open-sourcing it, I hope to make it more useful.
Well, in the future you could imagine that instead of programming a game, you can just generate each individual frame on the fly at 60fps. You could be playing 2D Mario and then the game could have him morph into 3D and take off into space or something. You could also generate any software or OS frontend on the fly really, if you can make it so the AI can keep track of your data and make it consistent enough to be usable. Does this have positive or negative value? I don't know.
I thought microplastics are still more of a hypothetical health hazard than a proven one?

>Lastly, it has “caching” built in:

A nitpick, but I don't think that should really be called caching, although it kind of is, in a looser sense. It's just comparing the file timestamps of the .o and .c files, and building the .o from the .c, if the .c is newer, or if the .o doesn't exist.

Not at all.

If you look at the publications in the world model space, this can be achieved by any pre-seed company. You just need lots of data, but that's easy to gather in an automated fashion with scripting against game engines. These are basically learning game playthroughs.

There are some folks on Discord training a playable Super Smash Bros Melee world model. There's a large corpus of annotated Smash Bros gameplay video complete with button inputs. Same for many FPS games.

This is once again a "wow" demo from something that doesn't have much exposure, but is actually quite easy to develop and train. There are multiple university papers in this domain that do the exact same thing, they just don't have a fancy demo page.

World models will be commonplace in short order, just like image and video models.
