The natural world doesn't want anything.

The natural inclination for humans isn't to be at rest. All evidence suggests people have played games like chase/wrestling/throwing things since there were people, and animals we most likely came from play games too.

The piece is garbage. Pure and simple.
Appreciate the feedback! Glad to hear the pre- and post-event photo sharing has been a hit. It’s all about keeping the momentum going!
Stopped reading after the first paragraph, huh.
Thanks! We’re all about keeping it simple while adding that ‘wow’ factor. Glad you like it!

Show HN: No-Code AI-Powered Workflow Builder
I’ve been working on this app for about half a year and am very excited to share it with you all!

How it works:
1. Connect with the tools your business uses (currently Slack or Gmail).
2. Create workflows by dragging and dropping nodes onto the canvas.
3. Listen to incoming events or trigger workflows manually.

Behind the scenes:
1. Each workflow runs as a durable, long-running execution.
2. AI agents within the same workflow share memory.
3. AI agents associate different channels, such as Slack threads or Gmail email threads, with workflows and can understand when replies are linked to specific workflow executions.

Try it out:

There will be bugs!! But I’d really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks! Love hearing that aha moment feedback—it's exactly what we want :)
Thirding. Cloud Run is great. App Engine is another option for some languages. GCP generally is much more ergonomic and has better docs than AWS.
pretty hard beating riskless 500k+ TC without having equity in a hypergrowth company.
This is a simpler approach that uses just a little bash. It depends on ncal for the heavy lifting.

I'd open up Claude and start learning what data types are, and practical examples.

Once you know the constraints of what you are dealing with as a developer, you can then deal with the how.

There is a liberation from the unknown and empowerment once you realize the fundamental set of abstractions involved are the same across software that powers a website to that moves a spacecraft.

Most may begin to learn development by diving into learning a programming language. That route tends to throw people headfirst into learning grammar, syntax without contextualizing it to practice. This is like a developing human learning to speak before they've learned object detection!

What you demarcate, you can orchestrate.
If you got good bins try looking at Jupiter as well. Typically on a clear night you can see several of the moons.
We automate boring stuff. It's the boring stuff we built devices for, and it's not just physical stuff. All manner of boring stuff has been automated that is just pencil pushing.

No one is playing a game of soccer and thinking "i could just build a robot to do this and avoid soccer". People spend hours training for marathons, ironman events etc, just because they want to.
"isn't it just... variables?"

I guess this was my thought - a language/framework-agnostic format for a bunch of variables, but also with some opinion towards how they should be structured (option/decision/component layers) ?

And then standardising it provides opportunities for interop between tools and multiple frameworks etc

Yes, they just download the app and enter the server name, username and pw. It's a private server and I manage the accounts so there is no registration step. And they only need to worry about any of this when they get a new phone.
Makes the game more interesting. As long as both sides are equally handicapped it’s fine.
It's first and foremost a methodology that plays into your design infrastructure. Whatever tooling floats your boat is absolutely fine, but the difficulty comes when you have to scale your design decisions across SVG, Sass, Tailwind, React Native iOS, Android, Figma, various prototyping tools, and for several company brands, dark mode, high contrast mode, etc.

At a certain scale, design and brand teams need infrastructure to drive change. These teams rarely have sufficient engineering headcount (if any) to build such tooling and delivery pipelines all the way to the user. Having interoperable formats brings alignment across design and engineering toolchains. The industry needs this methodology to be baked in, rather than requiring folks to build their own tooling.
Life expectancy and median age (didn't find average but I assume it is pretty close) were the first things I checked when I read your comment, but life expectancy globally is in the 70s and the median person about 30. I don't understand how the average person could have only a little more than 10 years left.
Play and movement are nearly universal in the animal kingdom.

I wouldn't expect humans to be any different.
I got to know about konfig from your product itself. The docs were(maybe still are?) so good that I had to check what was behind it. It really is better than swagger/redoc.
PyAutoGUI is the optimal tool for clicking things inside of closed shadow-root elements, which are hidden to JavaScript. Can use CDP for clicking other elements.
Lode's website is how I learned how raytracing worked back in the days.

Their website is pure gold. Also, I love the layout even more today.
I have a hard time identifying with this. The premise seems to be that the worker is just a passive participant in the system, literally a ping pong ball on a galton board. If the end state isn't what is desired the problem is with the board not the balls. This in fact may be true in the large, but that is the same as saying that management systems and processes are for people that need management systems and processes, reliably producing mediocre results. There is definite tension in accepting that this mediocrity is practically inevitable if anything is going to be done at scale.
There's an almost unlimited amount of demand for people who can write software or automate things, if you can lower buck-per-bang enough.
I'd recommend you consider pygame.image which wraps SDL_image. I think it would be possible to strip pygame down to just the pygame.image module and pygame.Surface object as you want.
That's one small part of finance. (And essentially solved mechanically with index funds.)

There's a lot more to finance outside of that.
I wonder—when you move an object with a lot of children, between frames you have to update the A(i-1) term for all children (and then iteratively through the grandchildren, so on and so forth). Does this become costly? Or maybe it isn’t so bad for reasonably-sized figures?
I appreciate your joke, but also - it doesn't have to be so bad as that! Of all the everyday tools a developer might choose to reinvent in their own personal style, an editor is likely the easiest to complete.

I have written three different code editors over the course of my career, and the last of them I have been using every day for a long time. It is a good feeling, building tools which suit oneself perfectly!
i frequently generate something resembling this and/or the hamming distance texture in a fairly dumb manual way, by just doing blend mode overlay on progressively smaller checkerboards.

it's my go-to for lining up pixel-perfect uv maps for more geometric/mechanical 3d assets -- the recursive nature means you can have an easy time hitting, say, the exact corners or centers of luxels if you feel the need.
Can you work for a game developer as a full stack dev (what does that mean exactly? like websites?)? You can learn from the other devs by osmosis.
For me it went a bit deeper. Yes, there is always information asymmetry, but there is a world of difference between that and allowing outright lying and deception. In practice consumers are powerless against outright lying, so if Governments and organisations don't actively intervene it runs rampant. Apparently does that in most organisations. The article gave examples of CEO's that didn't allow it - Gordon More and Eric Schmidt. He claimed both ran very successful organisations as a result.

That reflects what I've seen in Australia. Unlike the USA, we have very strong local consumer protection laws. If a firm lies on the box, like saying a plan is unlimited when it is not, and a government will come knocking on their door. But in web market places like ebay the government can't control overseas sellers. Lying about the size of USB Flash drives on Ebay in particular became rampant. While Ebay is much cheaper than local brick and mortar sellers for just about everything, in the end I abandoned Ebay for USB Flash and other items where fraud was rampant. So did everyone else. The market for those things on EBay just collapsed - to the detriment of everyone - buyers and sellers alike. In the end EBay stepped in by siding with the consumer far more often when disputes arose, and those products returned.

The USA worships markets. Markets only work well when the buyer and seller are both well informed. Yet, the USA doesn't enforce that. To outsiders, it's weird.
2mil isn't a small town but it's not that big a city, especially if it makes up most of the metro area around it.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_... the Sapporo metro area is 2.7M. Is that correct? Looking at the map the area between those two places looks a lot sparser, so it seems like definitely more of a small town by a small-to-mid-size-city vibe.

The Chicago metro area is 9.6M per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_metropolitan_area so that comparison feels pretty off.

I think a lot of people would take living directly in a 738k city over living 45minutes from a 2mil population city in a <100k city.

<100k cities are SMALL.
yes that's what i'm thinking about.
Yep, both are by the same author (emersion) and there is definitely a running theme in the project names.
> Perhaps the most impressive thing about the Saturn V was that the first one ever flown—50 years ago this November and scarcely five years after Kennedy’s edict—worked perfectly. And not one failed.

That is quite impressive for an order-of-magnitude improvement in a technology (rocketry), tackling a very challenging and previously untouched problem (flying people to the Moon, landing, and returning), with new solutions, and within seven years. We were having trouble with orbit when it started.
Pay may not be motivating, but poor pay is certainly demotivating.
Is the goal to be able to change a design token and see that change reflected across all your various UIs? How do you ensure people remember to use the design token instead of hardcoding the value? Won’t you still have to check every nook and cranny of the UI to make sure the change doesn’t break anything?

And if that’s not the goal, what is the goal?
> I found that by accident.

How, exactly?
You are right about the clerical work, but even pure finance is a lot more than 'direct management of funds and investments'. Have a look at Matt Levine's Money Stuff newsletter for a taste.

And I'm not quite sure why you mention determinism in the grandfather comment? Finance people have been using Monte Carlo simulations for ages. (And removing non-determinism from LLMs by fixing the seed of any pseudo-random number generator used wouldn't really change anything, would it?)
Europe's carmakers discount EVs, hike petrol car prices as emissions rules loom
I was saying that SpaceX's business is developing rockets for mars.

Starlink was just something that might provide some ongoing revenue to defray the costs of rocket development.

Spacex and Starlink are not really trying to turn a profit from each other.

But the EU will be paying others to construct and launch satellites, and the equation is probably different.

Imagine if the US government decided leo communications satellites were important, and it signed contracts with a satellite contractor and ULA to build and launch a similar number of satellites into orbit. I suspect it would be uneconomical and the communications service would not be competitive.

People should be aware of two related editors:

https://anvil-editor.net/ is more directly inspired by and similar to Acme (but makes no attempt to borrow from Vim).

https://github.com/martanne/vis is a minimalist editor that stays close to Vim but adds Sam-style regular extensions and multi-cursor editing (but not Acme-style "execute anything on screen"). For example, you can select all instances of a regex and edit them all at once afterwards interactively.
You're going to need some technology if you expect to interact with technology.
NVIDIA Releases Jetson Orin Nano Super
Wow, Nvidia's holiday drop is already better than all of the current openai drops and basically any other drop that could come out this winter.

These small but mighty GPUs pack a punch, and 10 of these nano GPUs has equivalent VRAM to an H100 GPU, at just a fraction of the cost. (2500 before tax)

I can see a lot of mini clusters or self hosted inference being done with these GPUs, and seeing as they already are being sold out everywhere goes to show that Nvidia isn't going anywhere in this AI trend.
You can usually do this by only being additive with the spec, and by never mixing user-defined keys and spec-defined keys in the same object.

I've only ever seen $ used before with meta properties that work across all schemas like the $ref you mentioned and $schema.
Such a culture is nearly essential to actually do real high stakes things- there is really no other way to operate in any field where the consequences of failure are immediate death, which isn’t limited to aviation. Only in fields where the people have no real skin in the game do people get away with not taking personal responsibility.

The two solid rocket booster casings are dropped into the ocean and (usually) recovered with both the Shuttle and SLS.

RS-25s were the three main engines. They were very expensive, designed for reuse and were recovered with the rest of the orbiter they were bolted on to. Not in the ocean. Then refurbished with a much greater amount of effort and money than initially expected, and eventually reused on a future mission..

But the SLS first stage doesn't fly itself back to Cape Canaveral after 2 weeks like the Shuttle orbiter did. So those now FOUR very expensive "reusable" engines are now chucked into the ocean never to be seen again.
Yeah, my understanding is that that was one of the most impactful things Jobs did, aggressively clean house and recruit/promote a good leadership team. And they trimmed the product offerings, killed off the clone program, and a bunch of other stuff to improve their focus.
Japan has a long and storied tradition of pumping immense amounts of government cash into failures. Off the top of my head, there's hydrogen fueled vehicles, fast breeder reactors, and more or less every Japanese attempt ever at exporting its own computing standards.
I agree Go error handling is unoptimal, but this is simply not the right approach. This essentially turns error handling into a whole other language, almost like how Ginkgo is a separate language for handling tests.
I wonder when we'll get the equivalent of fat padding and skin nerves on humanoid robots. Would that help make them less "waddly"?
Oh it was completely honest! Really! For some reason my brain just didn't see that stop sign, on multiple occasions. Yes, literally on the opposite corner from where I lived.

Brains are weird.
Honestly, my controversial take is that for APIs, it would be cleaner to not use any HTTP status codes other than 200 and have all of the semantics in the body of the response. I'm sure someone smarter than me will jump in and explain why this wouldn't work in practice, but it just feels like application semantics are leaking from a much more natural location in the body of the response. I feel similarly about HTTP request methods other than POST in APIs; between the endpoint route and the body, there should be more than enough room to express the difference between POST, PATCH, and DELETE without needing them to be encoded as separate HTTP methods.
Your comment about writing a text editor library is precisely what got me started with amp ~10 years ago, where much of its core functionality was extracted here:

Good luck with the project! Building a text editor to scratch your own itch is fun.
I haven't ingested stimulants since university, but a few surprising things put me in that familiar state of deep, almost euphoric concentration. I don't know why any of these work; it's up to you to determine how crazy I am.

1. NAC. I don't like this because it also seems to cause heartburn and blunts me.

2. Home brewed kefir. Overbrewing has the opposite effect, so you have to be diligent about changing the grains every 24 hours.

3. Saline + iodine + baby shampoo nasal rinse. The weirdest one, but I swear it's true. Literally clears the head.

All of these are relatively cheap and low risk.
MWI or Parallel Worlds is an interpretation of QM, it is one of the 15-20 major interpretations of QM. Nothing at all wrong with MWI. Sean Carrol speaks kindly towards WMI and I have tended to agree with his views over the years. I don't see any wild claims being made that would warrant a major reaction, but I would agree Willow's results are so impressive that it should lead one to consider at minimum that it counts as evidence in favor of the WMI. I don't see how this doesn't count as evidence for MWI.
I also cycle commuted for 3 years, year round, in my late 20's and early 30's. It was the best. I miss it.

To me this statement read very differently. I read it as saying that the amount of state is small and portable enough that I wouldn’t have to worry about scalability issues or be married to a particular database product. I think the original complaint about it is overly critical and nit picking.
My information is probably out of date but historically yes. Also historically operating systems other than Linux were pretty iffy.

I know you can run BSD on AWS for example.
Perhaps I should have said "When used genuinely"
There's also the endorphins that start firing when exercising or the general sense of euphoria that lssts for hours afterwards. These are evolutionary mechanisms that directly motivate strenuous exercise.

This is definitely one of the most absurd articles I've read, but only because I think the author convinced himself that it was a reasonable take, rather than the more typical trolling for clicks. 100% cognitive dissonance.
Microsoft acquires twice as many Nvidia AI chips as tech rivals
Throttle means that performance gain would not be there. Unthrottled power is needed for (hypothetical) unthrottled GPU chip. Unthrottled power is impossible on current power design, unless melted connectors are not a concern.
Thank you! You as well!

The shadows are very much my favorite part of this kind of shot. It provides so much visual texture to the surface, showing not only how rough it is but how smooth it is. the 'scar' to the bottom right (aka Alpine Valley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallis_Alpes) is always one of my favorites.

Thanks again!
Sadly Prof./St. Niklaus Wirth (patron of clarity, simplicity, and correctness) is no longer with us, but perhaps he or his elves might have been amenable to lowercase keyword support with boldface or color for readability.
Lol, I didn't even think when I wrote it that way. That said, it seems to be in the dictionary as an alternate spelling of holistic.

I guess the english language lets this stuff happen a lot, but not alot. I definitely did it by accident (not "on accident"!)
Thanks. Benfotiamine 150 mg twice a day had stimulant-like effects on me during the first week or 2 of my taking it. (Now it just gives me more energy without any CNS-stimulant effects.)
Good point about multicast - BT use it in the UK on their fibre/ADSL network to deliver live TV to their set-top boxes. I have never understood why it's not supported cross-ISP.

> The ATF is simply going on function rather than form. It shoots like a machine gun it is a machine gun no matter what you call it.

The part where it breaks down is pointing at a specific piece that enables automatic fire and calling that piece a "machine gun", even if it's just a tiny piece of metal or a specially-tied shoelace.
That would explain it. I was planning on leaving this as a throwaway account, but at this point I may as well go 'legit'. I'll email Daniel and ask him to change the account name too.
Your kind of describing things like thrift and other rpc servers?
Sapporo is denser than an American city would be with the same population, for cultural and geographic reasons. And in Japan it's common to have a train commute of 30-60 minutes, though living in Sapporo and commuting to a suburb might be considered more of a "reverse commute" (other direction is more common here IME).

Not to mention that Chitose is where Sapporo's international airport is located, so someone who travels often might find it more convenient than living in Sapporo proper.
Oh wow, I'm from Adelaide originally and didn't know they where based there too (in my defence, I haven't lived there in 10+ years). Maybe I'll try and drop in and say hello when I'm back.

What an absolutely repulsive and manipulative abuse of power asymmetry against the civil population. This is especially the case coming from a country that at least ostensibly makes claim to being a defender of civil liberties.

To assume that a person going through the deeply stressful, possibly traumatic process of being arrested is going to have a clear mind on what to say, not say or remember as useful for their defense is ridiculous.

Nobody should be expected to remember exactly what things to say so that they later don't harm their defense in a potentially complex trial with all kinds possible outcomes and evidence that they know nothing about in advance.

This applies especially in not uncommon cases of a victim being arrested by mistake for something they didn't even do. They could easily have no idea at all about why they're being targeted, yet should know what statements they should or shouldn't make right from the moment of their arrest? Laughable nonsense.

We can make many arguments for the abusive aspects of the U.S. criminal justice system but at least the basic but generally firm rule of having a complete right to silence gives one decent advantage to those suddenly confronted with judicial power.
