> Single player text games such as the Crowther and Woods Adventure can be written as a loop where the game waits for input, generates a response, etc.

You don't need to wait for turns as you would in a board game - the only difference is that the game state can be mutated from outside the game process for a single user. The process doesn't even need to wait for their user's movement to re-read the game state and refresh information from other players that might be visible.

> You could have coded up a game like that just find on a single-user OS so long as your machine supported multiple decent serial ports with UARTs.

That would have the disadvantage of hogging up the ports. Anyone who logged in with that terminal would be in the game and not in the OS command prompt.

The claim about bank-switching being slow, to me, was a good indication the person has no direct knowledge of how 8-bit computers addressed more memory than their native address spaces.

A docstring won't contain the necessary context for "why", and is something I see coding assistants get consistently wrong without human data.
Yes, for users that have been conditioned on how to talk to Siri, there is no point adding an LLM layer. But for everyone else an LLM might add a more natural and forgiving interface. Also an interface that might be more open to exploration, if you can describe a goal and the LLM picks whatever command it feels fits that intent.

I can absolutely see an argument that it should be a feature power users can turn off to keep the "original" Siri experience

There’s your first lesson: Always have a debug header with serial pins on your board. ;) It should be easy enough to solder some wires onto the ESP32’s serial port… although wait, how are you programming it?

It’s also good to have a couple of status LEDs and a power indicator on any custom board. Then you can add blink codes to indicate errors etc.

I'm prepared to trust that the obvious border, the fact the trailer is 3-4 feet off the ground (thereby creating obvious visual separation), and the fact that I've never seen a deceptively painted trailer, that this isn't worth worrying about. I'd be far more worried about it not being able to recognize off-ramps, or "activists" vandalizing it as a political statement.

Can you at least link to some of the efforts? This post is light on details.

I’m already seeing parallels to the MeetUp situation: MeetUp hasn’t shut down, but it’s becoming disliked enough that multiple teams are working on replacements. Unfortunately it seems they’re all more interested in doing greenfield work of developing the replacement themselves when it would be more effective in the most dedicated contributors to the various teams were willing to join up and work on one promising replacement.
Thanks

Friends, Romans, Countrymen:

I'm not a techie, far from it, but I've done work that even OpenAI's own development team hasn't. Kevin Weil is touting Deep Research, integrations and GPT 4.5. Awesome, BUT what about the core product? I feel like Number 6 in The Prisoner, refusing to submit to the Village (OpenAI)! I've documented bugs that should be fixed. With the competition swirling, shouldn't an engineer-level power user's insights come in handy?

OpenAI - The Village

The clapping seals on LinkedIn - The brainwashed Villagers

Me - Number 6 (a role I didn't want! I'm a creative!)

Weil - Number 2 (The functionary....ghosting me because he can't handle the heat; I'm not done with him).

Altman - Number 1 (The Final Boss, whose e-mail I have)

All I wanted was consistent conversation. A good amount of memory. But the damn thing failed me on multiple occasions! I'm a writer, and they wiped my log (or most of it) on two occasions! It forced me tp screenshot my log because I don't trust the tech! Is that fair?

I've cancelled my $20 sub tier. They don't deserve my money,let alone $200. I can't afford that price point, anyway. But the irony is that the glitches still exist! Charge us for extra memory, but don't ration your best model like it's war provisions!

So I either find a good alternative or I walk away from AI. I honestly don't need it. If I have to deal with bugs and rationing (mini mode is an affront to my sensibilities), it's just another Digital Nosferatu. I'm tired of it all.

I humbly ask you to read and, if you like it, share my manifesto. It's way more detailed than what I've written here. Let's get the word out.

Thank you, brothers,

"Attack is the best form of defence" is a well-grounded doctrine, but it's not mutually exclusive with protecting yourself. Armies use armoured vehicles even though armour-piercing shells exist, for example.

It's also not always necessary; actively using force against the authorities would essentially be the start of a civil war, and personally I don't think starting a civil war is more likely to result in change than peaceful protest. For instance, Serbia is to some extent reliant on the EU, and has expressed an interest in joining. That should force the current government to reconsider and crack down on corruption much better than an attempted coup would.

Full disclosure: I have never been to Serbia and this is just my personal feeling. But for expressly peaceful protests to seamlessly turn into a full-blown revolution, and a successful one at that, seems incredibly unlikely to me.
There is so much prior art in GUI design it's very difficult to make a claim like that.
Definitely. I think this is true of the internet in general, we have an amazing ability to communicate with almost anyone, even busy experts in niche fields, if we just make/ask something that interests them. I don't think I appreciate that enough.
I can't speak for other scripting languages, but it's absurdly easy both to embed Tcl as an interpreter in a larger project, and to create a Tcl extension which implements your own commands.

Thank you, and very much; I had thought I knew where Serbia was in things, but I was mistaken. I don't want to be mistaken, especially not now, where the situation is so serious. It's an excellent post, and I'm very grateful to you for the time you spent pulling all the links together.
Shouldn’t they have tested a human driver too? I have the feeling a majority of drivers would also go right through it if unaware of the setup, as it’s such an inconceivable scenario.
Hey guys!

I would prefer protesters not be killed by oppressive governments. I guess you prefer tanks and guns.

Feel free to make an argument.
Commercial pilots have approximately 100x as much training as your typical driver.
It's incorrect that Serbia has Russian-controlled government. Why would you say that? We're quite capable of having our own independent dictator, thank you. If anything, Vučić was widely supported by EU. One of our problems is that there's almost no pressure on government from any external side - not from US, not from EU, not from Russia, not from China. Opposition is entirely internal.
The places where undefined behaviour can occur are also limited in scope; you insist that that part isn't true, because operations outside those unsafe blocks can impact their safety.

That's only true at the same level of scrutiny as "all C operations can cause undefined behaviour, regardless of what they are", which I find similarly shallow.
I don't understand what you are trying to say.

People often change their minds. Sometimes when the situation changes, sometimes as a response to incentives, and sometimes because they have thought about the matter and learned something new. And when enough people change their minds, entire countries change their minds.

The world order the US marketed during the Cold War was very attractive, and many countries tried to join it voluntarily. Some of them succeeded and some didn't. The US used various means to advance its interests, but that doesn't mean every other country was just a bunch of mindless zombies with no agency and no ability to make choices.

Sometimes people just make a choice, because it's objectively better than the alternatives that are available.
Why in the hell does Notepad need AI? I can't roll my eyes any harder than I am at this idea. Jesus.

Edit: I challenge those who downvote this to steelman the inclusion of AI in what is ostensibly supposed to be a very barebones, simplistic, no frills notepad.
The whole point of driver assistance systems is to be better at this stuff than humans drivers, and most of them, with much less grandiose marketing, would have "seen" the wall in time to emergency brake.
As far as GenAI goes, this ain't slop. Guess people wouldn't be so hostile to GenAI used as stock footage if it were of this quality and consistency. But this sort of output is hardly "type a prompt and press a button", not sure what was used but I imagine style transfer or LoRAs were involved - or at least few rounds of prompt refinement

No but they have years of training.
And what do you think they were implying ? A world of fairies and unicorns where protests are tolerated and bad guys just retire to Dubai ?
Good docs are rare like unicorns with a glowing horn.

It doesn't seem to move the needle like a shipped feature does, requires guessing other peoples' perspectives, involves devoted time and effort (that could, you know, be spent on actually useful things) and the effects of not doing it are invisible (but real: user rage, frustration and wasted time).

Only when the importance of good docs is understood will any effort be invested into it. It should be important if the goal is to have more people using something.
I had to look, thinking "What, I can't save a file anymore without a subscription?" Sounds like a microsoft thing to do.

As for the nanoKVM power design, I agree it's a pain. Not sure what's the state of things on the forums now, but in my experience, the issue comes from the device trying to draw power via the USB HID port instead of the dedicated PD. In my case it helped enabling power sharing on that USB. That prevents the host cutting power there and the KVM stays on when the PC restarts
Been nerd raging here on HN since October cause compared to the same chatGPT app on my iPhone Siri sucks!

From the RFC: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2325-stable-simd.html

> The standard library will not deviate in naming or type signature of any intrinsic defined by an architecture.

I think this makes sense, just like any other intrinsic: unsafe to use directly, but with safe wrappers.

I believe that there are also some SIMD things that would have to inherently take raw pointers, as they work on pointers that aren't aligned, and/or otherwise not valid for references. In theory you could make only those take raw pointers, but I think the blanket policy of "follow upstream" is more important.
Yes, although that was exceptionally irrational, to the point where I don't really feel I understand the events.
> any legitimacy they view themselves as having

I'm pretty sure that's not actually how power or legitimacy work anyway.
I definitely agree that we should be improving browsers in that way, though I'm not sure that it's easy and I'm pessimistic it'll ever happen. Mostly because - cynically - I think that the vast majority of users will never care about owning data and software, so I don't see the incentive for browsers vendors to implement features to make it possible.

In their current state, I personally don't find PWAs + local databases ergonomic enough. So actually what I'm hoping to get out of the platform I'm building is - somewhat egotistically - an alternative that works for me personally and possibly for a few others like-minded individuals, not a browser replacement to take over the world.

This is a perfect modern example of the Tragedy of the Commons, where the absence of governance mechanisms or social contracts around a shared resource (open knowledge) leads to exploitation that threatens the resource's sustainability for everyone.

If implementing a full game theory solution is challenging, a minimal viable approach could combine:

- Wikimedia's Enterprise API model for high-volume users
- Technical measures to identify and throttle non-contributing scrapers
- Public transparency reports on AI company usage and contributions
- Industry certification program for "commons-friendly" AI development

This hybrid approach uses game theory principles to realign incentives while being practically implementable with current technologies and organizational structures.
Defensive measure are also enjoyable as they give an increased tactical field - as to put it, they increase the luck area.

> I'm intentionally being vague when I talk about "solutions" and solving business problems. I do not mean it should be an app, a product or even have a UI. A cron job running a shell script to copy files from one place to another may very well be the right solution to some business requirements.

Completely true, but instead this would be an event-driven serverless microservice that does some complex ETL thing to move files between three S3 buckets before landing in a "data lake" where analysts run three queries a month.

Adding to the weirdness of this video, it appears Mark Rober faked his footage to make it look like he was using a Google Pixel to record screen video, but he was actually using an iPhone as can be seen in the screen reflection. And he put the "G" logo in the wrong orientation in the faked shot.

Also it's weird that he's acting like he's so special for having seen the inside of Space Mountain as if it's some kind of secret. Millions have seen it all lit up. Back when the PeopleMover/Rocket Rods attractions were running it was a common sight, as the track ran through Space Mountain and sometimes it would be under maintenance with the lights on. And of course in emergency situations they turn the lights on as well.

Another one: he claims they use thin curtains to project ghosts on in the Haunted Mansion which is true, but while he's talking about it he shows footage of a part of the ride that uses Pepper's ghost which is a completely different (and more interesting) technique. Some of the ghosts he shows while talking about it could not be achieved with the curtain method.

Come to think of it, Pepper's ghost could fool lidar. Maybe that's why he didn't talk about it even though it would have been more interesting. It would have been inconvenient for his sponsor. Someone setting up a reflective surface across a road is probably about as likely in the real world as a Wile E. Coyote-style fake road wall.
In a more helpful framing: safe Rust code doesn't need to worry about its own correctness, it just is.

Unsafe code can be incorrect (or unsound), and needs to be careful about it. Part of being careful is that safe code can call the unsafe code in a way that triggers that unsoundness; in that way, safe code can cause undefined behaviour in unsafe code.

It's not always the case that this is possible; there are unsafe blocks that don't need to depend on safe code for its correctness.

From the testing I've seen, there are no Automatic Emergency Braking systems on the market that are anywhere close to being as good as a human that's paying attention.
If you were at a protest that was starting to get a bit rowdy and somebody used one of these on you, what would you do? I'd either come back prepared for actual violence, or switch from protest to sabotage.

It just screams "escalation" to me.
You see different versions of the four horsemen of the internet but the one I remember (and I can find lots of references to on the internet) is: Cisco, Sun, EMC, and Oracle. And, indeed, Oracle is the only one continuing to perform whether you like them or not and whether startups use them at this point.

With respect to Cisco specifically (and Intel) there was also a huge optical networking bubble.

siri was under performing for years: im a 'heavy' user - it's been terrible. it worked better in 2012 and slowly got worse. it's acceptable in 2025 but not good.

the siri division was caught nlp-ing anonymized data and totally sideswiped by llms. they have not transitioned. generally apple finds a Moses (like they did with m1 chips), hires a cracked team to build out but.. the salaries they offer don't touch openai or anthropic and who wants to work with nut that was building out siri initially? the guy is terrible

steve would have gutted the siri team. switched to a <100 person team and they'd have something nice 2025, even unique. apple is the team i expected to have deepseek type innovations on limited hardware. instead she wants to search the internet for what my local humidity levels are.

Further been expressing my desire for a GPT phone where on the Lock Screen u visually see your AI assistant or agent and it sees you. Basically a H.E.R. Phone that does everything for you and interacts with AI agents (businesses, friends, families, etc) to get things done for you via chat, text, hand, facial gestures... basically a human AI in ur phone that does everything for u.

No doubt such gets poo-poo(ed) as I think only 25 to 40 percent of phone users use Siri, Alexa, etc. a lot don't use it cause it just hadn't worked well for them to privacy concerns. But innovation and Apple is getting reamed for not being innovative.. not even matching what the chatGPT app offers.
