Well, as a kid, I loved it.

It was probably awful but I didn’t care at all it had extreme 90´s vibes. All of my games were in a space room or whatever I remember. I was 6 or 7 and I discovered computers. Everything was cool. Packard Bell Navigator was in everything so it was cool :)

Yes it’s nostalgia.
There's no WAD in the repo, I assume the linked PDF contains the shareware episode.
I see. So this is like, I can have tabby be my LLM server with this limitation or I can just turn that feature off and point tabby at my self hosted LLM as any other OpenAI compatible endpoint?
Sure. It's a fun little build you have there, a modern take on video feedback with effects et al.

Sharing your work isn't at issue, the builder and seller of Klein Bottles is here as are many other creators.

Two specific things are at play here, the creation of a dedicated account to only promote your work (if that is what is happening here, _I_ make no claims wrt that), and the badgering of a fellow forum user who routinely points out past related links, dupes, etc (as a commonplace occurrence).

If in a day or two you return and reread your own comments here demanding to know who people are and why they make such comments then you might see these exchanges in a different light. The site guidelines linked above are worth the read.

> Everybody wants the best people in the business.

A fundamental mistaken belief.

Who wants to pay for the very best people when the 97,000th best person will do? Also how can you decide who the best people are when you can’t even measure their productivity?

Your notion of “private people” is entirety arbitrary and is an obvious loophole for abusing the system by depriving some of their rights.
The Danger of Overreaction
Here’s a text editor written with LÖVE: https://akkartik.name/lines.html
It can but it's usually more obvious what's happening with code and how to fix it. Amazon wants you to think about the scaling issues while building as they don't want to lose the area under the customer curve on the far right.

The theory is that with rdbms you have a magical box that scales vertically until it doesn't. And when it doesn't all you can do is scale back the customers until you fix it with sharding or a re-architecture. Basically you tend to hang yourself with indexes and transactions. Also generally when an RDBMS fails it fails down to like 30% throughput.
The build wgets the wad from elsewhere.
sorry if this sounds dumb I don't have any formal education why is there a distinction?

when i hear computer science i hear the study of computers that in my head means software, hardware, and theory it's like having doctors that study humans theoretically and others that do surgery
Don't agree with author, but related to the desire to delete social media... I've noticed Instagram has been adding more features to bait time from users. A new one being, if you wait long enough on a given reel, it'll suggest you posts your follows liked (or commented on) in the top right corner. This is super creepy and I imagine could be easily gamed by stalkers. These types of features that try to engage me even deeper have made me consider actually removing IG altogether like I deleted Facebook a long time ago
Ugh, I had forgotten all about that. I'll never get that creepy robotic "Day, z. Day, z" out of my head.
Total abstinence is the kindest, simplest, easiest to implement and most logical approach to mitigating the suffering from alcohol abuse by the problem drinker. There is no valid reason for any other end state than total sobriety for the problem drinker. Nobody needs an alcoholic drink, and risking collapse/relapse and its impact on friends, family and society for one is being a damn fool.

This article reads like it was written by (what in the parlance is known as) an enabler. Or by a spokesperson for the alcohol industry…2/3 of their revenue comes from problem drinkers…1/3 of their revenue comes from the excessive drinking of those problem drinkers. You can imagine why anything other than abstinence is a good idea for the industry.
> Otherwise adhoc/jit is definitely best effort, though we did a few things to help

I should also give a sense of scale here. Hundreds of GB/s to multi TB/s of throughput for a single customer was pretty normal a decade ago. CDNs, classically, are also biased towards latency & throughput. Once you have millions of client requests per second and pushing that kind of volume its kind of expected/implied that the origin is capable of meeting the demand necessary to maximize that throughput.

While cost efficiency maximizing CDNs _were_ a thing they kind of died out with Red Swoosh AFAIK. We repeatedly investigated 'follow the moon' use cases to maximize the diurnal cycle. Outside of a handful of game companies there wasnt any real interest, and the price/revenue wasnt worth investing compared to other priorities. The market wanted better performance, not minimal costs, in the 2000-10s.

Ok so if a court system is what matters why do you support abusive censorship from private platforms that go well beyond what the law typically requires.
This is a silly criticism. After all, as we all know here (right?), Atari itself fell on hard times. I was talking about the business model, not a specific business. Vendor lockdown and taking a cut of 3rd party software is clearly quite lucrative for vendors, and that's why they do it. There's of course no guarantee of success, but it's obvious why other vendors have emulated that business model.

It may be only for historical reasons that desktop computers aren't completely locked down too. It's a lot easier to lock down a new device class, like smartphones, than it is to lock down an existing open device class, without causing consumer outrage and rebellion.

IME:

There's also a weirdly un-technical career path at most places. I haven't seen many mid-sized to larger local companies that have technical career pathways. Most people have to switch to managerial pathways once they hit ~mid-career because compensation for technical roles stop growing. That means that there's just not much technical experience that accrues, and most people in leadership positions have either outdated or little technical expertise.

Some outliers exist - Canva? Atlassian? - but the norm seem to be a managerial work structure, not a tech-heavy.

Isn't this something GPU Virtualization is intended to solve?
Is that the entire story? If so the VCs are pretty dumb. If they kill pip, that means the people who were maintaining it disperse and forking it won't restore the ecosystem that was there before.
> I wonder if there is any literature about this?

Came here looking for the same.. some kind of map from the game design angle more towards game theory.

Fun semi related tangent, I was curious to know authors background, and the About page quotes Borges “garden of forking paths” which jives nicely with tfa. Cataloging rather than inventing is an underrated activity in math sometimes, and we need to do both. Game garden taxonomy!

Shit, maybe now's as good a time as any. Let's see if I can keep this response at the top of my comment history! :D
Solvespace handles topological naming almost flawlessly. Even in a repeat group, the first and last copies of a sketch are "named" first and last rather than given a number. This is because constraints are often applied to those copies. This way they won't break if you go back and change the number of copies.
No, Wisconsin doesn't get a lot of tornados. "Lightning" is pretty funny though.
Goy is not a Yiddish word, it's a Hebrew word that means "nation", and is most commonly used to mean "a different nation than me". Like any word it can be used in a derogatory way or a neutral way.
From a few moments of watching, it seems like over half the crowd-sourced frames are just trolling and not actually a representation of the original film. I guess that kind of adds to the aesthetic, but I'm a little surprised they kept those troll frames...
There are ways to do it so that 'bypass' means you effectively wipe the device. If that's not good enough, how do you protect against them just replacing your device with a compromised one that looks similar?
You will get at max 40 fps on external monitor connected to nvidia GPU, on wayland.

Honsestly reading this, it sounds like Google Talk was a wildly successful system that morphed into a backend for all kinds of weird things. And now we all use Hangouts/Meets which seems to be a pretty successful part of the GSuite system.

Google built a decent consumer chat that turned into an extension of Gmail. Hangouts was the rewrite that came in and took over Gmail chat and calls. Gmail, Docs, Meet eventually all became a successful enterprise product in the GSuite.
For truly novel UIs with high dynamism it is probably a good decision.

For anything else it is almost certainly more work for the dev and more resource-intensive for the system.

One thing I haven't seen anyone else mention is that a game engine is generally going to be re-rendering constantly, as part of the game/render loop. This is because in a game it is almost always the case that something is changing on screen at any given moment.

In a more "normal" app UI, most things are static, so having a render loop operate like that doesn't make much sense. So instead things are optimized for the static case – if nothing is happening on screen, resources are not being used.

Why would you need keys to a TPM? It's meant to store keys without ever getting them out.
No prob. I guess you just get software on there with CD-ROM & USB? Maybe there is an adapter for the FireWire?

Also...what kind of programming language stuff is pre-loaded? I'm not familiar with Macs, but I'm guessing if it's based on BSD than there is a C compiler, Bash, Awk...that kind of stuff? Is Objective C or some kind of scripting language easy to get to?
Social media has become a river of trash(and for me that’s what advertising and peddling to sell stuff is) that if you spend effort on you can find some good gems. But the effort spent is not worth the gems. It’s more or less rescuing fully undigested peanuts in turds.
Yup!

No goal to become a programmer– But I like to build programs.

Build a rather complex AI-ecosystem simulator with me as the director and GPT-4 now Claude 3.5 as the programmer.

Would never have been able to do this beforehand.
I've observed that every time OpenAI makes an announcement, 2 dozen startups die. The pace was quite rapid a year ago but has slowed down now. I've advised startups of this "bitter lesson". The value is in proprietary data and your ability to build a moat around domain expertise in a specific industry vertical.
It went weirdly assumed that HN is somehow different. I don't believe in social media addiction, but addicts are known for lying to themselves and making excuses. If you're quitting social media because you don't think it's healthy, you need to look at any social media you're still on really closely.
They also popped open a full screen Windows 11 ad after I closed a game last year. That's when I went back to Linux.

Yeah I agree, there should be a voting system that can kick out bogus frames and have someone remake them, would be really interesting to see what it’d look like if everyone was trying to recreate it. Kind of like rotoscoping I suppose. As it is, there’s just a ton of discontinuity because of the troll frames.

I think there is a big difference between an abstraction layer that can improve -- one where you maybe write "code" in prompts and then have a compiler build through real code, allowing that compiler to get better over time -- and an interactive tool that locks bad decisions autocompleted today into both your codebase and your brain, involving you still working at the lower layer but getting low quality "help" in your editor. I am totally pro- compilers and high-level languages, but I think the idea of writing assembly with the help of a partial compiler where you kind of write stuff and then copy/paste the result into your assembly file with some munging to fix issues is dumb.

By all means, though: if someone gets us to the point where the "code" I am checking in is a bunch of English -- for which I will likely need a law degree in addition to an engineering background to not get evil genie with a cursed paw results from it trying to figure out what I must have meant from what I said :/ -- I will think that's pretty cool and will actually be a new layer of abstraction in the same class as compiler... and like, if at that point I don't use it, it will only be because I think it is somehow dangerous to humanity itself (and even then I will admit that it is probably more effective)... but we aren't there yet and "we're on the way there" doesn't count anywhere near as much as people often want it to ;P.
Why is it obvious. Google is a much more powerful profitable entity that has equally good models. Facebook uses data from Libgen. Both are highly profitable companies who could pay for resources but don't.

Anthropic, the ethical fork of OpenAI doesn't do anything much different nowadays.

OpenAI may have had a head start, but the competition is not far behind.

It would be refreshing for them to be honest about their monetary greed instead of telling false stories about "security" and what's "good for users".
I'm German and I wish you wouldn't take offense at this “yo yo” word on our behalf. It's not the N-word. There is no wound or trauma here. It's just a word with a history. In the East, we are called Niemcy, Německo, Nimska, etc.: all words that derive from an old attribution that means something like “mute” or “unable to speak”. Is that relevant today? No, it is not! I understand that young people need a cause to stand up and fight for, but language policing is really garbage. Be a socialist instead. Or do something against poverty, homelessness, wars, femicide, racism, ... Take your pick. But please understand that language policing does not change anyone's material living conditions, but is a purely mastorbatory matter. It is the most low-threshold, apolitical and inconsequential way of making yourself feel progressive and standing up for something.

Version 1.0 of Packard bell navigator in that video reminds me of the Macintosh "at ease" software I used to see in schools.

Totally off topic, I'm reminded that a high school friend gave me an old Packard bell machine for free once, and I ran OpenBSD on it for years. I got some ISA NICs and used it as a firewall.
> How can it teach us anything about human psychology if it never actually happened?

The same way fables and other fictional stories do. They contain an idea and communicate that idea to the listener. They deliberately pull away from the real world which is full of nuance and unnecessary details and present a story that contains the essence of the idea they're trying to convey to help make it clear.

Nobody believes that a goose that lays golden eggs exists, but they still get the idea that excessive greed can carry negative consequences from the fable. And they share that story as something they can refer to to express that notion. Feynman's story of the cargo cults is a fable just as well as Aesop's goose that laid the golden egg.
"PE for physicists." Touche. ;-)

Dating myself, my college had Pascal for CS majors, and FORTRAN for physicists. The FORTRAN class was math heavy, and we had a higher level course in process control as well, plus we all took the math class in numerical analysis.

When my daughter was in college, it was Java and Python. She took Java. I had suggested to her that she could easily keep up with the CS students, which she did.

I very much favor better training in programming for scientists. Taught by a scientist. The "intro to Matlab" that many students take is really too lightweight. Also, as for languages becoming obsolete, the disciplines that I learned in the 1980s are still of value today even if the languages have changed.
Pipx is a tool for users to install finished applications. It isn't intended for installing libraries for further development, and you have to hack around it to make that work. (This does gain you a little bit over using Pip directly.)

I just keep separate compiled-from-source versions of Python in a known, logical place; I can trivially create venvs from those directly and have Pip install into them, and pass `--python` to `pipx install`.

>With Python it is pip, poetry, pip search no longer working, pipx, and now uv (I probably forgot some things).

Of this list, only Poetry and Uv are package managers. Pip is by design, only an installer, and Pipx only adds a bit of environment management to that. A proper package manager also helps you keep track of what you've installed, and either produces some sort of external lock file and/or maintains dependency listings in `pyproject.toml`. But both Poetry and Uv go further beyond that as well, aiming to help with the rest of the development workflow (such as building your package for upload to PyPI).

If you like Pipx, you might be interested in some tips in my recent blog post (https://zahlman.github.io/posts/2025/01/07/python-packaging-...). In particular, if you do need to install libraries, you can expose Pipx's internal copy of Pip for arbitrary use instead of just for updating the venvs that Pipx created.
They were. The margin is not that much anymore; Claude Sonnet is the go-to model for devs nowadays.

The best video model is Google's.

My mother was an early childhood teacher for decades and used it in everything she printed for her classes. I asked her why and she said it bore the closest resemblance to proper block print out of all the fonts available. I went through several bouts of unnecessary glyph modifications in my own handwriting when I was a kid because I thought various fonts looked cool so maybe there's something to it.

Personally I don't get the outrage. In my opinion the likes of Bradley Hand ITC and Papyrus are abused more often but nobody's ever accused me of having good taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for making me watch that? WTF
We're 12 years since the release of r7rs-small and there's still no standard library as r7rs-large is essentially MIA. I remember seeing that they'd done a preliminary release of just one small part of r7rs-large. It was existing functionality and basically copied what already existed, but still somehow took over a decade.

This is important give the history. R6rs was an attempt at an actually-usable scheme spec. R5rs isn't usable as described because there's way too much undefined stuff to actually get up and running in a semi-portable way. This problem exists BEFORE discussing the SRFIs which are quasi-standards except that every implementation supports a different subset and they aren't documented outside of the spec documents which themselves generally aren't fully specified.

Scheme the standard killed itself and Racket survives because it completely avoided the illusion of compatibility entirely.
I'm using Qubes OS as my primary for years - I think I started with the 2.0 release in 2014 (I might have tried/used the 1.0 release, I don't recall.) and I was immediately hooked.

I understand the usual story is that the goal is security benefits, and the compartmentalization (or rather the implied inconvenience) is the price for that. But for me the compartmentalization turned out to be a benefit on it's own, and actually convenient.

I find it extremely convenient to have multiple isolated / virtual workspaces for different stuff, even if you assume attackers / malice do not exist. Having separate VMs is not the same as having separate folders. I also love the VM templates, which allow me to do all kinds of experiments (e.g. install packages in the app VM, which disappear after restart). Or run VMs with a mix of distros/versions/... Yes, I could do some of that with plain VMs, but Qubes integrates that in a way that I find very convenient. The commands for copying stuff between VMs are muscle memory at this point.

Yes, there are limitations, like the lack of GPU acceleration. But movies in 1080p play just fine without it, and I'm not a gamer, so I don't mind much. I can't play with CUDA etc. on these QubesOS machines, and scrolling web pages with large images is laggy, but I find this to be an acceptable price.

I went through multiple laptops / workstations over the years, and the situation improved a lot I think. Initially I had to solve quite a few issues with installer, some hardware not working (or requiring setting something special), or poor battery life on the laptops. But after a while that mostly either went away, especially once I switched to laptops with official Linux support (Dell Precision were good, I'm on Thinkpad P1 G7 now). The battery life is pretty decent too (especially once I disabled HT in BIOS).

Is it perfect for everyone? No, certainly not. But it sure is great for me, and I hope they keep working on it.
I have one of these curtain lights and they are great!
