Minecraft Java was the first version, and is still around today.

Later, Mojang hired 4J to make the console versions. Java on consoles was a bad combination, so they started writing their ports fresh from C++, but heavily derived from the Java upstream as point of reference.

Meanwhile, Mojang was developing their own, separate C++ rewrite in house for the pocket edition. This “Bedrock” edition later expanded into the Windows 10 edition, caught up to Java for almost all functionality, and around Update Aquatic replaced the old 4J version on consoles.

This particular project is a decompilation of the discontinued 4J line.

As to why Bedrock / PE beat 4J, it’s not completely clear, but there is some well founded speculation. Most likely, when pocket edition was started and 4J was hired (~2011), the idea phones and consoles could run the same version was far away, Mojang didn’t want to worry about consoles, and may not have believed feature parity between platforms to be possible. As phones became more powerful, and as the pocket edition became feature complete after over half a decade, Microsoft decided they only needed one. A shame really because 4J’s version was, in some ways, still a better console experience.
There seems to be a lot of political circles wanting to return to the late 1800s. I'm personally not one of them.
What you're asking for is thread parking. Use tokio for that, it's still trivial.
As if income inequality arising from the failure (or success?) of neoliberalism isn't bad enough already, we need one of the nation's top papers to cheerlead for more neoliberalism.
This is as big a scam or waste as those solar mirror people. Throwing a USB stick out the lunar rover window and calling it a data center. Data centers usually do stuff other than sit in the dust.

Feel free to invest though, perhaps if you feel good about discarding hard drives on the moon I could interest you in space mirrors and for a low low price I'll lease you the spot where your harddrive lands for 100 years.
Honestly, it doesn't look that bad, I could get used to that syntax. It's not really objectively worse nor better than the normal syntax we have in programming languages now.

I think a true AntiLang would also break conventions of how programming itself works too. This just seems like a normal language with weird syntax.
And if Bezos toes the line and does things that Trump likes, then Amazon may benefit.

Trump sees "friends" and "enemies" [0], and doesn't care about actual ownership of shares. "Bezos is a friend and sorted out that WaPo mess, so I'll cut him some slack and kill off that Amazon anti-trust thing" is something we can all picture Trump saying.

[0] Obviously I have no idea what he actually sees or thinks, but this picture seems to match his public pronouncements.
It is just Bezos corp speak way of saying he fired him without sounding negative.
People who oppose these moves like "I don't like when visible billionaires own our news services, I much prefer the invisible ones" bewilder me.
Lots of potential complications when building something on a vessel and failure is more likely to be deadly, if for example it fails because the ship is being battered too much by a storm. Plus there is the complicating factors with needing to miniaturize the equipment enough to fit in the available space.
I think it depends on who is using the system. For a power user who is already familiar with the domain, a free form, open ended ui that can understand anything I very powerful and liberating.

For a novice user or someone who is not from the domain - it can be challenging because they may not know where to start.

There is so much that can be done in this space by fully leaning into the AI. It can for example figure out the user’s level and offer varying levels of guidance and help.

Honestly it felt fun on day 3, the first time you could drop a ball and there were a couple triggers that did things. As a verrrrrrry pessimistic person, the fact that I actually thought it felt fun was like a huge flashing light above my head that there was something to the idea.

The 'right' redefines these words to mean something else and demonizes them.
Noted, re the other comment.

You can also technically read Word documents with a text reader.

The US is a federal representative loosely-democratic (but some-animals-are-more-equal-than-others) republic in theory, and a rough plutocracy in practice.

Greater structural barriers to the franchise makes it less of any kind of democratic anything even in theory.
> Integrated Information Theory

To me, it seems like a bit of a trick - take a philosophical question, propose an answer, stuff some mathematics into the answer, maybe even a few minor empirical predictions, make people think those added bits make the answer more likely to be correct and more respectable than competing answers which don’t do that - I don’t think that actually works though

> Like panpsychism though, I don't think it's falsifiable.

Well, I don’t think any theory in this area is falsifiable. Either you give up demanding falsifiability or embrace agnosticism (we don’t know and we maybe never will)

Maybe give up on falsifiability, since presenting it as an absolute must-have is self-defeating (the idea that falsifiability is a must-have is itself unfalsifiable)
One of the nice things about HN is the wide age range of the participants. I have read interesting and thoughtful comments from people who said they were high school students all the way through to people a decade or more older than me (I'm sixty-seven).
Hi, I enjoyed playing Ballionaire. I do like this style of rogue-likes where things can maybe break the game itself (infinity, slow down the game completely when too many eggs are spawned).

I was curious in your platform choice of windows only. Was this due to the framework/programming language you're using? Or was this more of a time savings of trying to support more than one system at a time? Or maybe both?
Some control?
Why code carefully when you can throw gobs of hardware at the problem and push the easy button?

This is the literal attitude for many in upper management. Don't build those nasty user interfaces that require design, wrap your APIs, buy your bidness peeps LLM licenses and move on.

This is an extreme. Artifact Assistance will be a new style of UI pattern, but it will live right alongside the fill-out forms and CRUD back-ends.
The scaling laws for fusion follow a power law for size and magnetic field (see https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/175830/nuclear-f...), which allow for better break even for commercial applications for larger fusion reactors like ITER. All of the smaller fusion reactors proposed need to use high Tc superconducting wire to generator higher magnetic fields for smaller reactors.
Outstanding!!! Spent some time in the valley in the 90's. Tom Perkins was our Chairman and Ceo so I learnt a LOT. One of the takeaways was that innovation starts with an itch you want to scratch, to KNOW that your idea is better than the others. Doesn't matter if you are delusional, the market will set you right either way. WELL DONE!!! taking this step and I wish you all the best for the future. I'll pass the message onto my chums.
"Fragmede.menu" costs $35 a year, which is roundoff error cost for a restaurant, and is a short-enough domain for a customer who wants to view a menu and order. No need for the "https://" which is implied. Adding a "?table=42" could be optional but isn't necessary, as the website in addition to simply presenting the menu could provide a means to order and if so have a little html input box when ordering to put their table number or whether it is pickup.

He bought it 12 years ago and just now got around to reading the opinion pages, is that your theory?
I'm not sure if I agree with that. Given enough context, tools should be able to get a sense of what we're trying to do. Even suggested next steps / things to ask, which we're already seeing in tools like Cove, ChatGPT, etc., go a long way in guiding users. Guiding people to what they likely want to do is great product design when accurate and could be minimally painful if it's easy to ignore the suggestions.
Program Merge: What's deep learning got to do with it?
He absolutely has the right. It destroys the credibility of the paper, but he bought it so he can break it.

Generally, newspaper publishers leave editorial decisions to editors, i.e. people who have decades of experience rather than zero experience. So while it's not his obligation, it's definitely his right.

And the former editor has the right to not help him destroy what little remains of the newspaper industry.
Person born in 2000 here. My friends and colleagues at university generally don't know about HN.

Have told a few people about it but the only person I really converted into also becoming a regular reader is my dad. It's good because now whenever we see each other we have a lot of topics and stuff to discuss that we both read about here.

> Russia is a nuclear power; do you think Putin is going to risk losing?

Given the track record of the US and Russia since getting nuclear weapons, yes?

Nukes might be pretty good at stopping someone invading your country but they're probably not a great help if you're the invader and you want to occupy the place you're invading. Especially if it's right next door

> I don't consume right wing news either

You use the language of the right as if it is truth. For example, "unhinged illegal immigration' is a characterization of the right, not what I've ever seen someone on the left advocate for.

Why would you want things like human rights of LGBT people, protection of women from sexual abuse and coersion, the freedom of women to be equals in our society, or justice for minorities - why would you want those 'canned'? What will we do about those issues?

Is there a PR yet, and also a BIP?

Other DLTs also have numbered document procedures for managing soft forks, hard forks, and changes to cipher and hash algorithms.

Litecoin, for example, is Bitcoin with the scrypt hash algorithm instead of SHA256.

Proof-of-Work mining rigs implement hashing algorithms in hardware as ASICs and FPGAs.

Stellar and Ripplenet validation servers still implement same in software FWIU?

Are there already ASICs for any of the PQ Hash and Cipher algorithms?

SSL Termination is expensive but necessary for HTTPS Everywhere and now HTTP STS Strict-Transport-Security headers and the HSTS preload list.

Are there still ASIC or FPGA SSL accelerator cards that need to implement PQ ciphers and hashes?

Multisig and similar m:n smart contracts support requiring more keys for a transaction to complete.

Rather than in an account with one sk/pk pair, funds can be stored in escrow such that various conditions must be met before a transaction can move the funds.

Running a full node helps the network by keeping another copy online and synchronized. A full node can optionally also index by transaction id (with LevelDB).

The block and transaction messages can be logged and monitored. Though it doesn't cost anything to check a balance given authorized or forged keys.

Spending the money in a bitcoin account discloses the public key, whereas only the double hash of the pubkey is necessary to send money to an account or scriptHash.

I mean... algo trading is a huge field. The thing with algo trading is that software people think is as a programming problem. I thought that too... is not at all! I think that one needs to learn to trade in order to then be able to observe the markets with some understanding and then start seeing patterns and behaviors and forming ideas.

I also started with the idea of doing algo trading, my tests results looked amazing! then I learned about slippage, commission, over fitting my stuff to my test data... trading is not a computer problem, is a market problem and once one understands those building an algo makes more sense. I use some tools I coded myself but I still have no idea how to quantify what I see on a chart, why one "signal" I'm fine trading, and another is a no inspite of being the same signal (think stuff like SMA crossing)

Good luck!

It's PR firm press release to get ahead of the mass resignations (or resistance he's meeting inside). He thinks he can get in front of the story of him exerting editorial control.
Here's the thing that bothers me.

In opposition to this someone would likely say "You were ok when liberals were censoring everything, and now the shoe's on the other foot, go shove it"

But actually, someone deciding to make biased media doesn't bother me that much. I mean, it's not great, I would prefer X have non-partisan ownership, but it happens, and free societies have an exhaust valve, particularly America:

People are contrarian. The more you see conservatives try to control media in avoidable ways, the more people will fight that influence. In the wake of the election Meidas Touch, a liberal podcast just overtook Joe Rogan.

The thing that concerns me is this: I think some people in power know this. Well I think all people in power know this, and I think some people currently in power who are intent on doing something about it.
That ship has sailed and it's too late. Emotion triumphed over reasoning in May 2020 for Git.

That was the only time experimental pretrained language models were actually smarter than those who supported changing the default branch to main for unjustified reasons.

Opinion pieces are often syndicated. The Washington Post has its own writers group, which has a large stable of writers with a variety of viewpoints. They also run guests and people syndicated from other groups.

Oh how I miss the golden days of RSS blogs :)

On reading; I feel like I don't have the time or the attention span anymore. I strongly believe this is due to the "short info-pill" overload in the last decade or so. I can easily get trapped into this type of behavior from time to time, unless I am actively fighting against it.

I feel like it's bypassing the "reasoning" part of my brain by directly targeting the inner lizard brain via my optical and auditory nervous system, eventually triggering powerful hormones that drive behavior. I cannot override my hormones by "thinking".

I always try to interpret the "attention is all you need" paper a bit differently to apply it to myself in the age of "generative" AI and other noise.

Pure RL NN 'solved' simple games like Pokémon years ago. I think added challenge of seeing how well LLMs can generalize is a noble pursuit. I think games are a fun problem as well.

Look how poorly Claude 3.7 is doing on Pokemon on Twitch right now.
Congrats on your success! Making games is what got me into programming and while I'm currently doing the same big tech stuff you were, I would love to become an indie game dev after this phase of my career ends.

The biggest challenge I've had in my various personal projects is the art, for sure. I may have programming skills but I certainly have no art or animation skills. How did you get over this hurdle? I've made so many cool prototypes for games that I end up having to shelve due to hitting a progress wall when it comes to art or 3d modeling.
Thanks! Godot 4.2 w/ C#. I started with Godot 3 and C#, but ported to Godot 4 a couple months into the project, because it was my understanding that would help console portability in the future. It was a bit of a pain, but not too bad. Maybe a week's worth of work.

Raw Fury I think also did a great job w/ marketing and promotion, e.g. connecting the game to streamers, and the trailer knocked it out of the park IMHO :)
Getting downvoted for stating something blatantly false isn’t censorship.
> “When you place data centers in environments that are already very, very cold...the performance actually also improves significantly,” Verma says. “Because when you go down in temperature, things like electrical resistance also go down.”

Oh, yes yes yes. Until it stops working entirely, that is. Some resistance is part of the design. Ask any LN2 overclocker.
If you have two AC generators connected to a load and one of them shifts is phase any amount ahead of the other one, the second one becomes a motor. Power flows in proportion to the difference in phase angle.

That seems to advocate for or justify exploitation of the poor by the wealthy?

We have thousand of old systems to maintain. Not sure everything could be rewritten or maintained with only LLM.
If an LLM builds a whole system on its own and is able to maintain and fix it then it’s not just us software developper who will suffer, it means nothing to sale or market, people will just ask an LLM to do something.
No sure this is possible. ChatGPT gave me a list of commands for my ec2 instance and one of them when executed made me loose access to ssh. It didn’t warn me. So « blindly » following an LLM lead on a cascade of instructions on a massive scale and on a long period could also lead to massive bugs or corruption of datas. Who did not ask an LLM for some code, that contained mistakes and we had to point the mistakes to it.
I doubt system will stay robust with full autonomy without any human supervision.
