I don't understand what you're saying; could you clarify which three things you are referring to?

I found your other comment above, the one mentioning Smalltalk, very interesting, and will reply to it later after thinking more about it.
Ah, yeah, we have that as well, for party leaders. Any party with at least one TD gets to participate in the first one, so half the parties in it had exactly one TD. It was such a mess that I’m not sure anyone really bothered watching the second one (which just had the real parties); the French sequencing sounds better.
There is a company that (allegedly) already produces such a device: https://www.knowlabs.co/

I've looked over the studies/tests they've done and they look decent, though the accuracy is not that great.
CTO / cofounder exit deal after 1.5y at 600k revenue without SHA
I co-founded a deeptech company in France 1.5 years ago with another founder. We both invested €30k initially. My co-founder, who has a business background and is CEO, owns 51% of the shares and has 2/3 of the voting rights, while I own 49% of the shares and hold 1/3 of the voting rights. I have a PhD in AI and serve as the CTO. We pay ourselves modest wages and currently employ three full-time staff, all of whom I recruited and manage.
The company generated €600k in revenue over the first 18 months through tenders and research services. There’s also potential for a €1.3m grant to be awarded in Q2 this year. Even though the company is doing well, I’ve decided to exit the company end of March for personal reasons: A breakdown in cofounder relationship, I can’t commit to relocating to France (I’m commuting from abroad), and I’m not happy with the recent pivot to the defence sector.
We don’t have significant IP yet because I spent most of my time writing proposals that generated revenue and developing prototypes for sectors that ultimately turned out not to have a substantial market for our tech.
My co-founder has offered to buy out 48% of my shares for €60k, allowing me to retain 1%. We don’t have a shareholders agreement so he could in theory dilute me by issuing new shares using company or investor money, although I could contest that in court. I'd rather move on though as I'm already looking for new roles where I currently live. I'm not interested in building a competitor.
Lawyers I talked to told me different things, one that worked a lot with startups told me that it's a good deal, another one specialised in shareholder litigation told me I could squeeze the company dry.
Does this seem like a fair offer to you? What do I need to keep in mind in order not to lose my remaining equity after exit?
Apart from our discussion, I guess no one is reading our comments. Therefore, we should stop sharing our thoughts and analogies.

Nice conversation with you, Victor!
Doing whole games in C++ has been a thing for decades, granted with plenty Assembly in the mix, since Watcom C++ days in MS-DOS, or PlayStation being the first console with a C and C++ SDK.

There was no garbage collection in all those 8 and 16 bit home computers and game consoles programmed in straight Assembly.

If Rust can't top this, then its value for game development community isn't as great as many think it is.

Rust does not suit for scripting. The goal of scripting is to write code more easily without worry of system programming concepts like memory management.
Yes. My partner is visually impaired so that is one of the reasons why I think this is interesting to investigate. The current solution is way to "janky" to actually use, but gives insight in the problem to solve.

My hope is that there will be "cheap" camera glasses that you can use different services for image descriptions. There is a company called "Be My Eyes" that is developing an AI tool for image descriptions, which probably is miles better than anything I can come up with. https://www.bemyeyes.com/blog/introducing-be-my-ai

Be My Eyes seem to support Ray-Ban Meta glasses, so hopefully "Be My AI" will too.

I understand the "not consulting the target audience" all too well, for instance braille signs that are at eye-level and is hard to find. Some workplaces is very keen to make accessibility adjustments, but mostly if they are seen so that they can show others that adjustments have been done, regardless if they actually help or not.
I wonder how big the wafers can be in the NIL system. It definitely sounds like the larger the wafer, the more problems you will have with deformation, alignment etc. if they have to reduce the wafer size in then that would also affect their ability to compete with EUV.
I suppose the key dysfunction there is that someone can simply have an idea and get it done, without, presumably, review by other product folks or sensible acceptance criteria being put in place.

Show HN: From WordPress to Hugo+Isso
There has been a series of unfortunate events involving Wordpress recently.

Initially, I only followed the issue tangentially, also because I have always considered myself a mere "end user" of Wordpress, even if long-time one (I used it for about 20 years).

For me, the fact that Wordpress.com sold a service based on an "extended" version of Wordpress.org was never a particular problem, but I never thought it was illegal to compete directly with it by taking the open source software and offering a simple hosting service.

Anyway I started to consider to switch from Wordpress to a static site hosted with hugo, retaining the comment system and all the URLs in the original form, more or less.

I was surprised because it took very little time (less 1 week of total work) to migrate my articles (1000+) and the comments.

I used open source tools, and I am a "hugo" newbie, so I make some trade off too.

Neverless, let me know what do you think and if you want more details on how I migrated it (HN loves static site, I know it :).

Just watched this video and it has so many relatable points in it.

When AI removes the opportunity to connect with people or see other peoples work directly and instead read or consume just generated content seems like a scary sad future.

Just as an example reading an answer from someone in StackOverflow usually comes with the feelings and thoughts about the person who wrote it, why they wrote it, feeling thankful that this one person solved that problem that bothered you. But all of that is going away. I can't upvote their answer, I can't even appreciate them, I won't ever know who supplied that context to AI.

Now you could argue that, with AI, you will never need anyone to tell you anything, because you may never even do anything that needs an answer from someone. I hope that day never comes.

> necessarily a better choice than modern C++ for someone starting a new project.

Almost certainly but it depends on what you're making. If it's something that requires huge object graphs and GC then you'll probably have a bad time in Rust.

The compiler guarantees, dependency management, and modern toolchain is miles ahead of C++. I find that you have to be a wizard in multiple areas that don't necessarily involve programming when you're working on a C++ project. This comes on top of being a wizard in the language itself since it's huge and the std library has warts due to the "ABI compatibility over everything" mindset.

I think a hangover from the last AI winter, after which everything that would previously have been called ‘AI’ got called ‘ML’, the term ‘AI’ then being shareholder poison. Anything older than the current AI bubble mostly gets called ‘ML’ still, with a possible exception for non-LLMish CV stuff.

if software is say GPLv3 and they hold no copyright (no CLA) then they must not relicense it.

If copyright was transferred to them they are free to relicense code.

What is your own time when you work remotely with flexible hours?
I honestly couldn't care less if that tech existed back then or not, I care about what's possible today.

Between 2017 and today, there were massive changes, both in technological development but also in mindset: Surveillance capitalism became much more normalized and generally accepted as a standard part of business.

So if you argue that it was a baseless conspiracy theory back then, therefore it automatically must still be a baseless conspiracy theory today, that argument is flawed.
Funnily enough for years I would say the general consensus on HN was that it was a thoughtful alternative to having to scroll back to the top, esp back when it was a relatively new gimmick on mobile.

Well, it is true, and the conviction in Tingsrätten was for 'vållande till annans död' 'causing the another's death', but in the manner described. Maybe it ended up as manslaughter in a higher court, maybe not-- I don't remember. Previously scans of the court documents were from the Flashback discussion page, but the links are dead now.

While Flashback is a 'random forum' to some degree, it is extremely reliable, since anyone who disagrees can simply post. I don't think its crime forum users would be interested in fake stuff because they want to be in the know.

It would also be an obvious libel matter if Samnytt etc. had libeled Wallner. Wallner would almost certainly have sued them, which has not happened.

What my comment is really about is how courts should be and what they should be-- the idea that their judgements should be as public as possible, because I believe that going before a court should be going before the public, only with the public having set professional experts as representatives, with those still being only representatives of the public, so what they do must be inherently public, i.e. it should be on the internet and completely accessible, forever.

In that case: They should sell the units so other people can utilize it.

In large parts of Scandinavia there is an obligation to have residents in an apartment. The only legal reason not to have an apartment occupied is that it is for sale, or on the market for finding a renter (within the market price).

IMHO there is absolutely no reason to let units stay empty for any longer than what normal resident churn mandate.

Why is it not possible for FOSS authors (who hold copyrights and have not signed them away to their employers) to contract with NGOs like the Free Software Conservancy, allowing it to act on their behalf when it comes to enforcement? Do the copyrights really need to be transferred? I mean, people use lawyers, why can't they let the FSC act in a similar role and with similar powers of attorney?
Lateral chromatic aberration, barrel distortion and vignetting are easily corrected in software, which is why modern lens designs for digital cameras tend not to prioritize these aspects of lens performance.

Imagine we went with "it's unrealistic to expect people to learn reading" - in the end it's just one skill and takes months to comprehend on very basic level.
Glitching a microcontroller is pretty trivial these days. You remove the caps and short the power supply for a short period when the debug register is read. Obviously you need to glitch the supply at the right exact time, hence many people use another microcontroller controlling a mosfet that shorts the supply programmatically.

NRF52s had this issue too (like many) and Nordic made new silicon revisions in 2022 (on all their products!) where they don't check for the debug register on boot (and have the protection enabled by default).

It remains to be seen if such revisions completely fix fault injection attacks though.
Its always an interesting dynamic: assuming a high trust society pays dividends - Python would be nowhere close the success it has been without PyPI.

But then success attracts trust abusers and forces raising the fences (which comes with higher costs, both direct and indirect).

Direct costs in the people and infrastructure that must be dedicated to the task. Indirect costs in the frictions generated by complicating workflows.

It all points to the need for open source ecosystems to be taken more seriously by the economically able users who most benefit from this amazing development.

Not obsolete, but the margin on fabs drops off pretty quickly once they're not at the cutting edge, as I understand it, so they need to make back their capital investment fairly quickly.
My Personal Recap of 2024

Given that the last Charles to break norms to that extent, ah, lost his head, hard to see Charlie Windsor being terribly excited about this option.

(I think people tend to get a bit confused about the things that the British monarch ‘can do’; in practice they can do most of them only at the direction of parliament. The last time something like this was done was 1708, and even then that was a ministers vs parliament fight, with the monarch siding with the ministers. Not, like, with some weird foreigner.)

That's typically called 'motion smoothing' and yeah that's trying to interpolate frames to manipulate lower framerate video (like 24FPS) into higher framerates in an attempt to make scenes like panning shots 'smoother' at the expense of a soap opera feel and interpolation artifacting.

Whereas what Blur Busters (and similar enthusiasts) are focused on is how accurately frames are (perceptibly) displayed on the screen, so ideally each input frame is perfectly presented without any interference from prior frames (due to limits of panels in keeping up with changing the pixels from one frame to another, very rapidly, causing blurring).

The ultimate goal, in a perfect scenario, is for input from say a video game running at 60 frames per second to have each frame perfectly rendered like individual screenshot stills, one after the other. In reality for most monitors displaying such content there's not enough distinct separation between frames, leading fast changing pixel content (like objects moving) to blend into each other, causing blurring at the monitor level.

The BFI technique, by inserting alternating black frames in the output, mitigates the inter-frame blending issues since instead of the prior frame being various colors (ie: of the prior input frame) it's starting from pure black which dramatically reduces frame blending artifacts and perceptibly makes the motion clarity more distinct.

There's nothing wrong with writing your own game engine rather than going for Unreal or Unity, in fact that's one way of creating a truly unique game.

My comment about "half baked" referred to the crates that people release instead of actual games.

The Rust game dev community might be wise to steer away from the "we gave up on developing our game, but hey Rustaceans, here are some crates you might find useful!" approach
The weird thing is that there are already working interpreters of other scripting languages written in Rust, e.g. Boa (Javascript), mlua (Lua). But all Rust game engines seem to insist on one single language approach.
> The one project cleared was a project containing obfuscated code, in violation of the PyPI Acceptable Use Policy.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. While I haven’t released anything obfuscated on PyPI, I’ve certainly written Python projects that include obfuscated code by necessity, namely scrapers packing duktape (embedded JS interpreter) and third party obfuscated JS blobs to generate signatures and stuff. I know for a fact there are projects like that on PyPI. I wonder if those are allowed.

(Come to think of it, those probably can be DMCAed if the targeted service provider is sufficiently motivated.)
