> Since we're American, we're hoping Tesla, (or one of the big three), gets it first. But that's more of a hope, not necessarily the way things will pan out.

And in the FSD space I don’t think there is much first mover advantage anyway. The iPhone came out of left field. The path to FSD has been highly iterative with many steps taken by a bunch of different players.

Even if Tesla gets FSD first, it won’t be much longer before others get it to and they’ll all be roughly the same interface and feature set.

iPhone was significantly different than what was there before and as you or somebody said, nobody else was working on anything similar. It was a different business model—one that took away substantial power from the cell phone carriers and turned the phone into a software platform on par with a regular computer. It turned carriers into dumb pipes and they hated that!

FSD doesn’t really change the fundamental business model of any car manufacturers out there. It’s just another feature for the same familiar players to sell.

What would throw a wrench in the existing crop of manufacturers would be street legal FSD cars you could order on Amazon for a fraction of the cost or something. Ones made by the same crew that make all the other random flee market brands sold there. Or maybe if the whole market switched to on-demand pay per mile service with a completely vertically integrated company—but even then I don’t think that upsets the apple cart too much.

I don't think anyone is suggesting to ship a version to actual customers without some polish, but foregoing polish is good advice. I've attempted to make games on several occasions and my current is the first to stick because I intentionally decided not to worry about aesthetics too much at first, that allowed me to quite rapidly get to something that's fun to play, which in turn has motivated me to keep going. It also drastically reduces the pain of sunk costs when the entirety of your projectile system is a coloured box shooting spheres rather than a lovingly crafted gun model which isn't actually fun to use.

Having watched/read a few things about the white boxing stage the general advice is to put in as much polish as you need to do that and no more. If you're trying to prove out jump mechanics literally just some boxes for platforms and a sphere as the character is enough. If you're making a stealth game then you'll need some lighting in your level because it's a core game mechanic.
I still don’t understand how vision only self driving cars are viable without also having 20 stops of dynamic range.

Show HN: I made a tool to help you find your next profitable idea
I'm an indie hacker. I've found that one of the best ways to come up with project ideas is to find apps that are popular, but aren't loved by their users. I typically spend hours searching the depths of the App Store and Google Play Store top charts, looking for apps with a high number of reviews, but a sub-3.9 rating (and ideally ones that haven't been updated by their developers in >6 months). I look for opportunities to add AI, refresh the UI, fix user complaints, etc., and build a better version of the app. I know there's a market need, and I know exactly what my users want.

I realized I was spending too much time on the idea discovery process, and would love a way to do it passively over the course of a few months (even while I'm building other projects). Several friends also expressed the same need, and this post by Greg Isenberg (https://x.com/gregisenberg/status/1868673184213467576) validated the method.

So, I automated the process and created BuildList - a weekly email newsletter with insights on neglected but popular apps that are ready for disruption.

Let me know what you think!
I suppose the tricky thing is knowing when to listen to others and when you know more than everyone else.
I think people just bring up TDS as a way to completely disregard anything that someone says. Or maybe that's just me projecting, because anytime I see a person claim that someone has TDS I immediately discount anything that they say as intelligent or worthy of engagement. They've already shown that they aren't willing to engage in good faith.

I think most of these solutions including OpenShift Virtualization, Hyper-V, Proxmox, etc. do live migration. What the previous post is talking about is some of the more advanced VMware live migration features like storage live migration and cross-cluster live migration and some of the automations layered over the top of them.
libvirt+qemu can do live migration across disparate storage; I know quite a lot of people want to use it.
I'm curious in which ways you find the vMotion stuff does well with that.
The few details given in this response don't match up with what happened.

Who did the GDPR review before extracting env vars from systems that were not under your control? How did actively extracting potentially private data from the environment not get flagged as Unauthorized Access?

If this "experiment" (which happened to be against a competitor, mind) was reviewed and approved internally, that is a great demonstration of Snyk's approach to (ir)responsible data collection and disclosure.

I would say it's more about minimizing cost of the console and their first party games just so happen to be not intensive enough to need it... But some games would have absolutely benefitted from a bit better hardware.
Why is demilitarization always a unilateral affair? Has this solved anything in the past 50+ years?

It should be either be bilateral militarization (a miniaturized MAD if you will - similar with the Korean peninsula I guess), or bilateral demilitarization and extensive UN force deployment.
Question: do these bots not respect robots.txt?

I haven't added these scrapers to my robots.txt on the sites I work on yet because I haven't seen any problems. I would run something like this on my own websites, but I can't see selling my clients on running this on their websites.

The websites I run generally have a honeypot page which is linked in the headers and disallowed to everyone in the robots.txt, and if an IP visits that page, they get added to a blocklist which simply drops their connections without response for 24 hours.
If I were building a datacenter today I would go with proxmox. It's "just debian" under the hood and can be customized and controlled a multitude of ways (UI, CLI on the box, Terraform, API, etc)
> Sony's Vita was quite successful with titles like Killzone Mercenary which was as fun a shooter as you'll find on any platform, but Sony gave up on the form factor because of the phone fever sweeping the world.

I think they gave up on it when they realized they didn't have the resources to support both a console and a handheld with the rising costs of game development. Nintendo faced the same issue but they got rid of their console instead and designed their handheld to be able to be docked in order to get similar functionality.

My subjective notes on the state of AI at the end of 2024
The AI landscape continues to evolve rapidly. At the end of 2024 I take time to reflect on the current state of AI and make some predictions about the future. The results are this series of four posts that I want to share with you:

1. Industry Transparency: https://tiendil.org/en/posts/ai-notes-2024-industry-transparency

2. Generative Knowledge Bases: https://tiendil.org/en/posts/ai-notes-2024-generative-knowledge-base

3. Current State: https://tiendil.org/en/posts/ai-notes-2024-the-current-state

4. Forecast: https://tiendil.org/en/posts/ai-notes-2024-prognosis

Since posts are quite long, here are key takeaways.

By analyzing the decisions of major AI developers, such as OpenAI or Google, we can make fairly accurate assumptions about the state of the AI industry.

All current progress is based on a single base technology — generative knowledge bases, which are large probabilistic models.

The development of neural networks, a.k.a. generative knowledge bases, is reaching a plateau. Future progress is likely to be incremental/evolutionary rather than explosive/revolutionary.

We shouldn't expect singularity, strong AI, or job loss to robots (in the near future).

Instead, we should expect increased labor productivity, job redistribution, turbulence in education, and shifts in the education level of future generations.

What do you think? How does the concept of "generative knowledge bases" resonate with your understanding of the current situation?
What compatible systems? Mainframes are maintained in more or less their original state by teams from IBM. They are designed to be single machines that scale vertically and never shut down, every component can be hot-swapped including CPUs but IBM charge a lot for CPU capacity if I recall correctly. Given that nighttime doesn't get shorter, the DVLA probably don't see much reason to pay a lot more for a slightly smaller window.

And mainframes from the 80s are slow. It sounds like they're running on the original.

That's not really plausible in the modern legislative environment (pun intended), considering your env vars will contain GDPR-controlled data like your username, at the very least. Combined with the IP address it was collected from, they know who you are and where you live.

Not bad yes, better xbox 2021, xbox 2025, etc?
We have a switch and an XBox and after liking the 360 back in the day the newer XBoxes just make me want to tear my hair out. They sold us all on bigger and bigger hardware to get rid of load times and they ended up with the system with the worst load times going all the way back to the 70s. Sometimes it seems like it takes 10 minutes to start up and actually play a game, and then there the updates.

My son got a Forza Horizon game for Xmas and it immediately said it needed to download 128GB from the internet before he could play it. With the way it worked out he didn't get to play it on Christmas day as it never finished downloading before we had to go leave to visit relatives.

Just a horrific experience compared to Switch.
I am not surprised that OpenAI is not interested if fixing this.
It seems like you're very selective in your application of the "most charitable take" principle.

The Stupidity of My Smart Goals – Mistakes and Learnings
Hot take: I'm in favour of this.

There's actually been significant progress in developing privacy-preserving attestation technologies in the last few years, that could enable anonymous age verification for adult websites.

There's an IETF protocol called Privacy Pass (see RFCs 9576-9578) that can attest facts about clients (e.g. their age) in an anonymising manner. You reveal your age by showing your ID to an age verification service (e.g. a government run service, or a bank), but crucially not the reason _why_ you're proving your age (i.e. the bank doesn't know if you're visiting a porn site or a casino). That service gives you a bunch of signed tokens proving you're over the age of 18/21/whatever, and you can redeem a token on the porn/gambling/alcohol-purchasing website for access. It uses various fun bits of cryptography (e.g. blind signatures) to ensure anonymity for the user.

With such technologies, anonymous age verification becomes achievable. Now, whether age verification is inherently "bad" is up for debate, but that's a matter of opinion. Obviously this technology isn't infallible and it will be possible to work around, but we don't need a perfect solution here. Preventing 99% of children that would have viewed violent pornography from viewing it is a massive win, and the fact that we can do it in a provably-privacy-preserving manner using cryptography is very very cool.
The Switch is already the first 64bit Nintendo console since the N64, so calling the second one Switch 64 would be a wonderful farce.
I respectfully disagree.

Tesla is run by a bigot, far right extremist. I would never send money to them, no matter their offerings.

Not so with Apple.
I'm not saying that we stop teaching arithmetic, and I'm not even saying that we stop spending a majority of our time on teaching arithmetic, but I think that introducing more advanced concepts early could be a good use of time. It looks like New Math was basically that?

In TFA the alternative methods for making ammonia are mentioned.

One such method, which already works at room temperature for combining hydrogen with nitrogen into ammonia, uses electricity together with a platinum-gold catalyst and it has a 13% energetic efficiency.

The methods described here uses cheaper materials and the authors hope that some time in the future it might reach a better energetic efficiency.
Almost! :) I'm cleaning up the repo and about to release it under AGPL-3.0.
The article mentions "Traditional methods for ammonia production require high temperatures and pressures" in reference to the existing Haber-Bosch process for producing NH3 from thin air, an interesting historic story on its own.

Looking at my logs for all of my sites and this isn’t a global truth. I see multiple ai crawlers hammering away requesting the same pages many, many times. Perplexity and Facebook are basically nonstop.
That's how the term is used in the U.S. as well, when history classes describe "settlers" who wiped out the Native Americans who lived here through genocide, germ warfare, regular ol' warfare and displacement. I think in general when one sees the word "settlers" one should assume the worst.

> military-industrial complex that they share with each other and with centrist parties just wants a reason to keep existing.

This is so freakin' true. I feel like, if world peace ever reared its ugly head Americans would whine, "but jobs!" because of the hit it would give the military-industrial complex.
Devices with lots of ram can fit huge files, devices with very little ram can still fit very large, but not gigabytes-huge files. You're not going to fire up VS Code on pi 2 and load a 5GB log file, but you are going to fire up a simpler editor and open a 100MB log file. So as long as you can fit files that make sense for your device in memory, so why would "it loads files into memory" be a problem?

Rich (relatively?) software bro wants other people to care more. Does not reflect on the economics. Everything is economic. Tech has exacerbated the hyperfinancialization, enshittification, and general reduction to meaninglessness of every action.

Caring requires time and energy. Most tech companies aim to consume every freaking instant of your life (or else they serve the other tech companies that do that). For many people there is little time or energy left to care (or there is a sense that there is little time or energy left). Gotta hustle more, gotta hurry up so I can look at my phone.

Caring is not financially rewarded. Caring is generally penalized because no one else cares, so you're just wasting your time. How many ppl in this world can say this: "There are legal jobs I would not take, no matter how much they pay, because they make the world shittier." Caring doesn't make you money, and money is what the world wants. Until that changes, the problem persists.

Fix the values, fix the world
> Humans engage in confabulation but they’re mostly aware of it.

I'm not sure this is the case at all. Some awareness of this doesn't imply full awareness. In my experience, most people are unaware of how incoherent their worldviews are, so the distinction between normative and confabulatory behavior isn't clear.
So the ChatGPT crawler amplifies a DDOS attack against a third-party site by how much? Is there a limit?

7ms latency, 4k120fps with geforce now. 10ms on wifi. I'm not kidding.

It's ALMOST perfect. I play BF1 through it. Try it once (I believe they still have the "free for 1hr per session, infinite sessions"? That's what sold it to me).

I can play very intensive games (graphically) on my macbook on the couch. It's amazing, and I couldn't believe the 10ms on wifi. It's mind-blowing.

BUT I live near Amsterdam, where a server cluster is.

Also, about the graphics: I'm borrowing a 4080 every time. Everything is on max. If you're in a very (very) hard scene for compression, then yeah, you'll see (very little) artifacts. But I run it on 75mbit, and that's a LOT.

>The SNES was a revolution

Nintendo has actually stated they view the SNES as a evolution of the NES. They have directly stated their hardware development cycle goes Revolution>Evolution>Revolution. Considering that the Switch was considered one of their revolutionary leap (their first hybrid console) it is no surprise the Switch 2 is a simple evolution of that concept. If their next console is another iteration of the Switch THEN it is safe to say they are no longer aiming to revolutionize their hardware.

Edit: After tons of searching I am starting to think that I am misremembering thing. I think this idea came about from the Wii's 'Revolution' code name and I Mandela Effected myself into think there was a interview we're either Miyamoto or Iwata talked about this being there philosophy when designing system.

Why would I use Claude or ChatGPT when other companies (Meta, Alibaba, Forest Labs, Stability AI) are doing the same, but also giving you access to the base model for free?

Being able to run offline AI, or at least being able to host that by yourself gives you lot more freedom and transparency than a stupid ISO certification created by bureaucrats to comply with their own policies.

Currently hydrogen made from natural gas is the cheapest, but the Haber process could equally well use hydrogen made from water electrolysis using solar/wind energy.

In that case there will be no production of CO2.

The only reason why this is not done yet is because avoiding the production of CO2 would raise the cost of ammonia, then the costs of fertilizers and various other chemical substances, including explosives, which would trigger a cascade of price increases in food and in many other products.
The Switch was weak when it came out. Decent PCs from that same year can handle most of these games just fine. It's not really the developer's fault when the Switch is the only platform with issues, and they're usually not "pushing the envelope" in any way. The fault here is Nintendo's, they didn't prioritize support for ported games, though admittedly they couldn't really foresee the indie game boom, since it wasn't nearly as big of a deal at the time, especially in Japan.

First-party Nintendo titles are more or less the only games that actually manage to "push the envelope" on the Switch, and that's because they have the resources and experience to do it. Even then, some games end up constrained compared to the original vision, because the hardware can't handle it no matter how much insider knowledge you have about how it works and how to use it right.
