I think you just answered your own question and even gave the answers I would've given.
Is Meta really considered “mainstream media”? I always took that phrase to refer to NBC, CBS, NY Post, etc - the big legacy news organizations (print and TV).
I think he has a majority of the voting shares, so nobody can get rid of him unfortunately. Meta is too big to fail and Zuck is set to be dictator for life if he wants to be.
Only to a certain degree. Wages are probably not going to keep matching price increases. If people have less real disposable income, they aren't going to buy as much.
Isn't saving lives and feeding children ROI? I think the parent comment was stating that these things were not measured and therefore the ROI should absolutely be known.

You should always measure the impact of the things you do and the money you spend, you should never just say "we're trying to do this and so the money should always flow". If you and trying to feed children you should be able to estimate the number of meals you provide and if that number is too low you should stop getting money.

I'm not commenting on USAID cuts in particular here, but your comment struck me as being rather strange.
TBH we are also doing something similar, where we have a separate process that creates a winit overlay window and draws the remote cursor with wgpu, this process also handles screen sharing and remote control.

The process with the tauri backend are communicating via a socket, so you could say it doesn't really make a difference if it is electron or tauri in the end of day.

Though we are thinking of using egui for the rendering process in the future and then we could have the opportunity to integrate it in the main app (tauri has an egui integration for v1, which unfortunately is broken for v2).

The western endorsement of the genocide in Gaza has been some of the best PR Putin could ever have hoped for.

It simultaneously underlined the viciousness, the lack of moral credibility and extreme hypocrisy of western leaders in the eyes of the nonaligned world (e.g. the global south), none of whom sanctioned him.
A tale as old as time: watch from the sidelines while things are relatively “good” before suddenly finding yourself on the naughty list.

Interesting - low-poly (and 2D) are exactly where my interests are.

Btw. wouldn't it be possible in modern pipelines to remap or "disfigure" the texture when converting to triangles, so that it counters the bias accordingly? Ah, but that bakes in the shape of the quad, so it can't be modified runtime or it will get distorted again, right.
Why do you have a strongly held armchair belief about anthropology? Just research it for ten minutes.

Some beliefs should be lightly held.
in the beginning general purpose computers weren't capable of running graphics like the consoles could. That took dedicated hardware that only the early Atari/NES/Genesis had. That's not to say that the Apple or IBM clones didn't have games, they did, but it just wasn't the same. The differentiation was their hardware, enabling games that couldn't be run on early PCs. Otherwise why buy a console?

So the thinking was a unique architecture is what a console's raison d’être was. Of course now we know better, as the latest generation of consoles shows, butthat's where the thinking for the PS3's cell architecture came from.
That might be the case, but that man cannot live forever. I am thinking long term, but am also just a civilian in the US. If there is good reason to have another policy I would like the experts to articulate that logic to us.
You’re directionally right, modern comparative mythology studies suggest that people were telling stories ~100 000 years ago when they went out of Africa, they had an “oral library”. We find many similar tropes alongside their migration roads.

The top specialist is Berezkin, he collected thousands of tropes and put it on a map http://www.mythologydatabase.com/bd/
America's arrested rather a large number of people in recent weeks—university students, mostly—for expressing viewpoints on the I/P conflict. The current Administration is claiming, and no one's yet stopped them, that First Amendment rights don't apply to non-citizens such as international students.

For what it's worth, it's widely reported that ICE is trawling social media to find targets (targeted for their speech/viewpoints). HN itself is one of their known targets.
CUDA is the easiest-to-use and most popular GPGPU framework. I agree that it's unfortunate there aren't good alternatives! As kouteiheika pointed out, you can use Vulkan (Or OpenCL), but they are not as pleasant.
Show HN: ToyWithRaylib, compile and run raylib games on the browser
Some months ago, I created https://toywithraylib.com/, a little project that uses emception (https://github.com/jprendes/emception)

It allows you to build and run raylib projects entiretly on the browser (It is compiled and run entirely locally!)

It has raylib 5.6, rlImGui and box2d included! It can be used to run any C++ project, allowing configuring the build options using python (which also runs entirely in the website)

Once you are finished testing, you can download the code or download the game in order to share, which will be stored in a single-file HTML file, it also has basic link-sharing capabilities but I don't expect them to work with large examples since it is url-based.

The project is opensourced, I just wanted to hack it to get it working, but if somebody wants to improve it or fork it, is more than welcomed to do so :)

Same here, and it is blazingly fast for me running on a M2 macbook air using macOS built in virtulization framework to run an arm64 Debian.

Probably even faster on Asahi Linux, but having both macOS and a fast Debian at the same time is soo neat :)
Developer steps:

Sure, the 'free speech' propaganda is a conscious part of the (better/more effective) public opinion manipulation playbook.

At the bottom you will see the page rendered in 2 - 3ms or sometimes 800µs with Crystal. The page is quite literally bottlenecked by network latency.

Oh, I assure you, it's hard to escape knowing about Nix if you write about this sort of thing. Someone will be along almost immediately to inform you about it.

Nix wasn't mentioned (I'm the author) because it really isn't relevant here -- the comparable distributions, when discussing what Fedora is doing, are Debian and other distributions that use similar packaging schemes and such.
>You will also understand then, that the Jews defending their ninety mile strip by the sea are actually in their last stand in a fight for survival stretching back 1000 years

It's really hard to keep this kind of rhetoric going when we have the internet showing us videos of hospitals being bombed. That's not defense.
I still vividly remember when they announced the $599 price tag, inflation adjusted that would be almost $1,000 today! It was crazy
It should be the UN, and with the express intent outlined in my post above. To return them back to their country once the criminals have been removed.
The entire endeavor was orchestrated by Israel - that’s kinda the point here. Meta didn’t act on its own, as the edited title would imply.
Unless NVIDIA actually embraces this, it will never be better than the C++, alone given the whole IDE integration, graphical debugging and libraries ecosystem.

Unless one is prepared to do lots of yak shaving, and who knows, then NVIDIA will actually pay attention, like it has happened with CUDA support for other ecosystems.
His journey doesn’t really follow that pattern though. The Loved One, a deeply iconoclastic satirical novel came after Brideshead.
My point is not that the statement was made in bad faith or was grossly derogatory. Personally, I am not gravely offended. However, I do think it's impolite and casually dismissive of an entire nation. In other words, I think it's in poor taste.

You obviously disagree, which is fine - I'm not calling you a racist - but to me, "get a life" is a pretty harsh reaction to someone raising a concern about a joke they find in poor taste.

The point I was trying to make about the job interview and Nadella, which I may have made clumsily, is not that we ought to use the tone we use in job interviews everywhere. My point is that Nadella is an extraordinarily accomplished Indian person and this "joke" would likely fall flat with that sort of audience. I think that's a decent barometer for whether the joke is in poor taste or not.

Again speaking personally, as a white dude, I avoid making jokes about minorities. That used to be pretty much common sense, although I recognize that there's a certain culturally ascendant viewpoint that disagrees with that. But my decision to treat people respectfully isn't about what's culturally in vogue, and I'm still willing to bet that a lot of the people of colour who laugh along when white people make jokes at their expense are thinking something else entirely.

Counterpoint: unless there's an opportunity for the company to be a success --- which, 18 months into its seed investment, it does not appear to be --- nobody is going to care whether this person stayed on to the bitter end.
There's a spectrum of FP languages with Haskell near the "pure" end where it truly becomes a pain to do things like io and Clojure at the more pragmatic end where not only is it accepted that you'll need to do non functional things but specific facilities are provided to help you do them well and in a way that can be readily brought into the functional parts of the language.

(I'm biased though as I am immersed in Clojure and have never coded in Haskell. But the creator of Clojure has gone out of his way to praise Haskell a bunch and openly admits where he looked at or borrowed ideas from it.)
I’m always up for an engineerguy video!

Hilarious that the patent lawsuits delayed the introduction of the improved bases by 20 years, by which time the patents had expired.
> The PS3 version was a game developed for Xbox then auto-ported to run on PS3’s unfamiliar hardware.

Yes, especially exclusives like Uncharted, Demon Souls, Heavy Rain, Ni No Kuni, Metal Gear solid 4. They were definitely developed for Xbox, that version was kept secret and only the PS3 version was published due to Sony bribes.

I'd like to thank the above devs for going through the pain of developing those titles that entertained me back then...
I'm 100% confusing this talk with an earlier talk on the PS3. "Fibers" (aka, tasks, coroutines) is the industry standard name but I believe their engine did something more primitive on the PS3 in which their PS4 engine evolved from.

I'll try to find it, but admittedly this is knowledge that I researched back in ~2011 around the time of Uncharted 3's launch.
Because others so far have failed to deliver anything worthwhile using, with the same tooling ecosystem as CUDA.
> One core block is syntax, where meaningful units are combined into longer sequences, like words into sentences.

I would think that syntax is a structure to the sequence of symbols, not just a sequence in any order. For example:

Thag ate Fish
Fish ate Thag

have different meanings.
If you take the time to re-read it why not just take the time to write it yourself? Hell for this specific application, I'd bash out a PHP script that takes the services needed, clients info, whatnot as arguments, and just spits out a pre-formatted quote letter. Like yeah every one will look the same but your prospective clients aren't comparing their letters to see if you're automating that process, they don't care.

This is also automating that process but injecting the possibility of errors for literally no reason.

I would argue that the failure extended to the user-perceptible performance deficit vs the XB360 despite arguably more capable hardware. Released games didn't perform better on the PS3 even if they technically could.

So they finally gave up on making "Full Site Editing" a thing, I take it. I maintain that trying to transition the product away from PHP into a React-ridden mess for the "Block Editor" in 2017 started us down this path of ruin.

Clearly they felt threatened by site builder plugins like Elementor Pro, Beaver Builder, Bricks and others that massively improved the WYSIWYG experience to the point where WP was relegated to the role of invisible scaffolding, a dumb pipe. Considering how badly they botched the redesign into the block editor era, and the madness about WpEngine, they are struggling to shake investor worries.
What's quite different?
Right, they still exist, but now they’re budget sports cars, which isn’t really what I was talking about. A GR86 is cheaper than most SUVs. A miata is even cheaper. The civic type r is neat, but that’s not a sports car. That’s a performance model of a family car.

The comment I was replying to said that people buy porsches because they’re beautiful.

That’s not it, because the NSX is beautiful, the LFA is beautiful, the FD is beautiful, but nobody wants to spend 200K on a Toyota.

Cars are a signifier, and the viewer needs to understand that sign. Luxury car makers bank on that. Put an LFA and a Cayman next to each other and 9/10 people would think the Cayman is worth more.

The original commenters idea works for content, because content is not a signifier of money. Rich people can’t have more expensive media taste than you, so the enthusiasts set the pace.

But they can have a more expensive car, so no matter how awful a car a lamborghini is, nobody envies the Integra type R next to it.
Show HN: First AI Game Master that can run combat on a battlemap
Here's a demo video I made for our AI game master who can now generate a battlemap and run combat! Franz (our AI GM), can now generate character voices, move tokens around the map, update/track everything, and more. We also added voice input/output!

I don't want to toot my own horn too much but I just think it's so fricken cool that this is possible now.

Here are some notes that you guys might find interesting:
- The main turn loop is a workflow, but parts of it are agentic. For example, npc turns are agentic. See https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-age... for more info about workflow vs agentic
- Most of the decision making is handled by LLMs, but more mechanical aspects are handled programmatically and then given to the LLM as context. For example, damage calculations are done programmatically. The hardest part about building this was deciding what to let the LLM do and what to do via code.
- This would not have been possible a year ago without advancements in token speed and quality, especially with tool calling!
- We use gemini-2.0-flash mostly

Happy to answer any questions about how we built this
OpenBSD is one of the platforms I tested the Hash Bang Null Hack on.

ksh is being successfully run, and is able to read a line of the script and find the null byte.

However, ksh rejecting it means we couldn't use the trick with ksh, like to get it to ignore a <CR> in the hash bang line of a script that has <CR><LF> line endings. (Something discussed in a sibling subthread, in regard to a Perl script that failed due to a trailing <CR> in the hash bang line.)
> Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches are widely understood as desirable cars

... primarily for their price tag. There are a lot of enthusiasts for money in the world, much more than for driving at 200 mph.

> the change was driven by enthusiasts recommending the latest and greatest to their less-technically-inclined friends and family

It was never about recommendations. MSIE and Chrome were (and are, but with Edge Browser instead of MSIE) shoved into consumers' throats by ads, marketing, bundled distribution and outrageous lies.
I guess it is hard to say… if you looked at humans in any random moment when we’ve been around, I suppose we’d look a lot like dolphins (not making much increments progress generation-to-generation).

But, it does feel like there’s something in our storytelling tendency, maybe just a quantitative difference (we do it a little bit more and some up with slightly better summaries) that creates a qualitative one (positive feedback loop in our ability to reason about the universe).

From that point of view, writing is just an iteration of the loop. A big one, though.
You can use uv to pin, download, and use a specific version of a Python interpreter on a per project basis. You shouldn't use your OS provided Python interpreter for long running projects for all the reasons you mentioned, including reproducibility. If you insist on using the vendor provided interpreter, then use RHEL (or a free clone) or any other long suppported Linux distro (there are many). Five years is a very long time in technology. It is not reasonable to expect more from core maintainers IMO. Especially considering we have better options.

Looks like not much interest in this here. I wonder why?

Also I would love to see agent frameworks in java and other languages as well.
> The idea that […] you shouldn't want to use the latest version of software is clearly ludicrous.

To get to that world, we developers would have to give up making breaking changes.

We can’t have any “your python 2 code doesn’t work on python 3” nonsense.

Should we stop making breaking changes? Maybe. Will we? No.
> The opposition party has no power in the US, as designed explicitly.

This seems to be in direct contradiction to the other story we’re told repeatedly by DNC leaders that the reason they can’t get anything done when they are the majority is because of those “obstructionist” republicans. One has to wonder how the GOP is so successful in obstructing the DNC but the reverse is not possible.

The minority parties may be less powerful, but the US government was set up to make “tyranny of the majority” hard to accomplish. So what has gone wrong?

Open source self-hosted bookmarking app Hoarder changes its name to Karakeep
The article mentions requests to remove posts quoting Ghassan Kanafani. The article introduces Kanafani as a literary figure, but then discusses his involvement in the PFLP. I don't know if they want the reader to form a particular judgement about this, or if they're just reporting the facts.
Right. Companies need to figure out what they are going to be good at and what you buy from someone else. There is no one correct answer, and often the best answer changes over time (both reasons that different companies will have different answers). My company architects have been debating what IPC framework we should adopt for longer than it would take me to just write one from scratch - but they are correct to debate this instead of writing one because adopting means we don't have to maintain it and eventually that should cost more than all the debate. (note I didn't say will, though I think it is likely)
Not a bad idea actually :)

It sounds like you're using the fact that the posts aren't available for you to view to evaluate as a weakness of the reporting on this suppression campaign, but of course they're not available because of the suppression campaign.

Surely the burden should be on the censors to establish clearly that something is in fact incitement to violence, rather than on external reporters to magically show that content which has been taken down is not incitement?
I am not (see below) and in any case this is not relevant to the question posed to GP, which was why s/he thinks people would abstain from risky behavior just because risks exist.

This is a welcome change of direction from an NIH that was captured by the "gender identity" ideological movement.

Consider, for example, that Dr Johanna Olson-Kennedy received $9.7 million in NIH funding to study the effects of puberty blockers on trans-identifying children. After two years, there was no significant mental health improvement - so she refused to publish the findings.

Hopefully this new research into the oft-hidden side of this burgeoning medical scandal will provide data on what's actually been happening.
another term for it is "investor driven development".
This sounds like most states in Eurasia and North Africa to me.

In the minecraft example video

We are shown a person who quit the server and then the server stops and restarts (that 2 second clone of vm)

but what if I have a service like lets say normal minecraft servers like hypixel or others, they can't hope for a 2 second delay. Maybe we would have to use proxies in that case.

I am genuinely interested by this tech.

Currently, I am much in favour of tinykvm and its snapshotting because its even lighter than firecracker(I think). I really like the dev behind tinykvm as well.
Your snark would be inappropriate even if you weren't completely ignoring the sentence immediately preceding the one you quoted.
> For example, the phrase “blonde dancer” has two independent units: a blonde person who is also a dancer.

This seems a rather odd "random" language example, especially coming from New Scientist. Being politically correct by then referring to the "blonde" as a "person" doesn't help much. May as well just use "brunette stripper" as an example - a brown haired person who takes their clothes off for money.
