Interestingly enough it seems the Native Americans are really joyful and not posed in front of the camera (other than the grieving widow). Usually pictures from this time period are of people posed in a strict demeanor.

I can’t help but comment on the fact that Americans just decided the Natives needed to be seriously kicked out. It’s almost like we’ve got a problem deep within us because it keeps happening.
This is absolutely incredible work! How hard was it to get your foot in the door on having code execute on an already running process? Do you do this from a separate process at runtime or is it all modifying the executable before you run it?

I've never done anything like that. I can imagine getting the memory offsets for things like camera transforms being reasonably straight forward with cheat engine, but mutating the values feels a like converting a train from diesel to electric while it's carrying a load. It reminds me of something Ross Scott (he makes youtube videos about games) has expressed a desire to have -- the ability to comprehensively map and record the 3d worlds of games that are going to get shut down. Admittedly I initially dismissed it a little on the grounds that if you want that, just extract the 3d model data from the client and load up blender.

Seeing what you and others have done is making me appreciate what he's after more. The whole composition, environments and characters and lighting and visual effects and post processing would not be preserved just by yanking out the .fbx files and textures. A lot would be lost. Despite being a gamedev myself, seems like I somehow lost the perspective a little.

It's awesome to see there's a community and a hobby doing what you're doing. Thanks for showing this to me.
More or less just writing each line backward (token by token).

Q1: How close could one get to a grammar that would basically recognize C with each line reversed character-by-character?

Q2: What would a language look like where instead of being oriented into right- or leftward-marching lines, it was oriented into downward-marching columns?

The people who originally sent the thing up, can give up their access.

As long as you don't have to physically touch the thing again, you can use some clever cryptography, so that no one is technically running it.

That's easiest, if you just let no one have any privileged access. But you can use (public key) cryptography or similar to give some anonymous people on earth access. Or, for peek publicity value, the data centre can give access to whoever holds a specific bitcoin.
I'm becoming convinced the opponent wants to grab power and isn't interesting in changing their minds. Some of their supporters might when the effects of DOGE hits home.
So it facilitates exchange between people who would not otherwise trade.

Thus things would be different absent money and given the long complex supply chains required to make most things today, like say plows, it is hard to argue things wouldn't be significantly different.
Remember the days when he had just bought the paper and said: "No I have nothing to do with it, they just needed the money", me neither, such silly things I say...
I'll admit to being utterly confused by literally the first part, even before the emphasis. What follows is nitpicky, but I'd imagine every word is there for a reason. What does "operate" really mean in this context?

Mozilla(the corporate entity) is operating(=controlling?) Firefox(the software) on my machine?

Mozilla(the corporate entity) is operating Firefox(whatever corporate subdivision on their side) to further my interests as a user (gather telemetry, error reports, "privacy preserving" data about me)? In that case, does "acting on your behalf" mean that the corporate entity is browsing on my behalf? Can I download all the Metallica mp3s using Firefox and forward all happiness letters to Mozilla since they were acting on my behalf? (I know, I know, "You Are Responsible..." section disagrees with my take)

And that's before approaching the can of worms of granting a license which I may or may not be able to do depending on the original license.

Indians who have huge spending potential are in huge numbers. They are just leaving India.

High skilled Indians are leaving in large numbers due to the tax regime that India is. I think it was 2022 where we recorded the largest number of Indians surrendering Indian citizenship. It's like India prepares and grooms them and they just leave. And I dont blame them.

Every single damn thing can be traced back to tax we are burdened with irrespective of left/right govt in power.

We pay tax like first world countries but get services like poorest of the poor countries.

Corporates are levied high tax. And international corporates even more. The argument is to support Indian companies.

And almost every Indian company provide horrible services which is why Indians always prefer foreign products/services. Now with International companies levied hefty tax, they cut corners, increase prices. So in effect we pay more and always get bad experiences.

Just take BS4 to BS6 transition in automobiles. Vehicles with a larger width or something was added with luxury tax and many of companies moved to cut corners to stay in business. My car has provision and setup for ventilated seats but its removed to cut corners. BS6 version of my car have cheaper infotainment systems than my BS4 version.

We pay the highest tax for fuel. There are countries we provide fuel for which has 60ish/litre in our local currency. But we pay 100+/litre. Surpise, its tax.

We dont get any good electronic products cos high import costs. And companies which has released stuff always have limited options or pay higher price for the same setup than everyone in the world. IIRC Indians pay the most for an Apple product in the world. I donno if things have changed after they moved production here. I dont think so.

We pay 15 years worth of road tax in advance and we still have to pay for toll plazas. And we have horrible roads.

Oh and we dont get any high quality products we produce. Whether it is tea (assam, darjeeling), coffee, nuts like cashew nuts, fruits. We get 3rd, 4th or quality and everything in 1st quality is exported. If you want high quality cashew. You go to duty paid shops and get it. And you will see its imported but the brand is an Indian brand and its actually sourced from India.

Automobiles as well. There are automobile factories which produce high quality stuff for EU in India and the same factories produce subpar thing for India.

I can go on and on. This govt changed some things for middle class in this budget for tax. So lets see.

I found quaternions much more convenient to work with when writing some 3d graphics software for a college course a long time ago.

I'm Building a Hackathon Curation Site
Hey HN! My name is Aditya, and I'm a student at UC San Diego.

I love going to hackathons, but it's a challenge to find good ones. Some of the best hackathons I've been to (ex: Supabase x YC hackathon in November) weren't on Devpost, Luma, or other major hackathon sites.

I'm working on a page to curate cool in-person hackathons for students in order to solve this problem.

There are tons of hackathon hosting websites out there (Devpost, Dorahacks, Luma, etc). But genuinely cool hackathons/build days are usually buried under tons of irrelevant events. The only website that isn't like this is MLH's hackathons page, but those are mostly college/hs-associated hackathons.

Appreciate any feedback or event suggestions.
This is an amazing story, nice work, and congrats on the hit! Looks like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to buckle down and make the RPG of my dreams, but working full-time just doesn't make that feasible, and I care very deeply about balance (i.e. not "working" outside of work) unless I have an idea that's achievable in a short amount of time and won't burn me out.

Looks like the hard work paid off for you! Maybe if I can retire early I'll finally realize a similar dream.
I'm very skeptical. I'm quite familiar with VLAs and this seems like an unbelievable leap forward based on their claims.

Yes, Iceland is a bit warmer than Antarctica. But cooling is still relatively easy: Iceland only gets to about 14C in summer days. Round it up, and say it's definitely below 30C.

If you run your computers at about 60C, that's still plenty of difference.

You can also look into dumping your heat into water. Either ocean or freshwater.
Let’s run some numbers for the bottom half.

I don’t know what they mean by income data, but let’s use the GDP as a proxy.

2025
GDP (Current USD) - $3.5Tn (actually 2023, but it’s probably still close)
Population - 1.45Bn
Bottom Half Population - 725mm
Bottom Half share - 15%
Bottom half share of GDP - $525Bn
Bottom half GDP per capita - $725

1990
GDP (current USD) - $320Bn
Population - 870mm
Bottom Half population - 435mm
Bottom Half Share - 22.2%
Bottom Half Share of GDP - $71Bn
Bottom Half GDP per capita - $163

So the bottom half per capita GDP in current USD has risen from $163 to $725, almost a 4.5x increase.

The increase in inequality is not good, but this isn’t the economic catastrophe for India’s poor that this article is presenting it as. In fact, a 4.5x increase in per capita income in 35 years is a significant achievement for a country of Indias size and diversity. It of course pales in comparison to what China has achieved, but what doesn’t pale in comparison to what China has achieved.

In my last job I built a cross platform thing with Flutter, and it was very early on the desktop thing, so I had to basically write the whole widget kit, from the ground up. Define what is a button and how should it work in desktop with mouse/keyboard and phone with touch. And it took around 2 years, once it was done they replaced it with a web version because hiring flutter devs was hard and expensive and no one cared :)
Sure, I saw that interview clip and raised it elsewhere on HN. That still doesn't move this from conspiracy to confirmed plan as described in the earlier comment.

There's nothing wrong with a conspiracy theory. They're just often backed by anecdotal or circumstantial evidence and aren't yet really proven. This still falls into that bucket.

Interestingly enough, plenty of conspiracy theories turn out to be at least partially true, the same could happen here.

With the question being why can't Unity capitalize on the brand advertising that AppLovin has gone after.

Fusion is being regulated like particle accelerators, not like fission reactors.

The Fusion Industry Association has more information on this.

Any port that lets in a LNG ship or similar is likely to allow the much lower risk of a fusion ship coming in.
“The entire San Francisco to Los Angeles project was initially supposed to be completed by 2020 and cost $33 billion. Today, the Merced-to-Bakersfield segment alone would cost more than the original total. The latest estimate for San Francisco to Los Angeles is $106 billion — more than three times the original cost estimate.”

“The CHSRA Inspector General also found that even this limited project, with barely 2 million in annual projected ridership because it fails to connect California’s larger cities, is unlikely to be completed by 2033.”

Contrast this with the New Mexico Rail Runner. Initiated in 2003, entered into initial service for the three largest stations on 2006, 97 miles-15 stations in 2017, 800K ridership in 4Q 2024. Total capital cost: 380M dollars. That’s an M as in Million, not a B as in Billion. (All from Wikipedia)

How does that compare in cost and completion time on a per-mile basis with the CA “proposal”…one order of magnitude, two orders of magnitude…perhaps three if it ever gets completed? Would this CA rail project ever have been approved if these actual cost and completion times had been presented to lawmakers? CA should be on the hook for the Federal monies spent on this…”proposal”.

Lesson to be learned: nobody ever went broke solving a smaller, easier part of a problem first. If you can’t accomplish that (for even the smallest possible quantum of the problem), maybe you should cut bait.

How do mortgages pay dividends?

In any case, it's all about opportunity costs, and yields.

To give an extreme example: if the house costs 100x the yearly rent, you are probably better off putting your money in the stock market instead of buying the property, and paying your rent from the returns on the stocks.
