Nice! I wanted to share a link to Ripple Effect Hard with my time (23:47), but it seems the URL only captures attempts, so there's no real way to link to the puzzle itself.

"Musk accuses Altman, Brockman, and its major partner Microsoft of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment in the lawsuit" [0]. But of course Musk runs an AI for-profit himself, amongst many other things he has done and said. So this is a very reasonable case with a very unreasonable plaintiff.
As a current juror I really do not feel for how long jury selection might have taken here, and I can imagine deliberation will take longer yet.
Let the funding go to some actual charitable foundation which offsets the very real negative externalities of large-scale AI, I say. That seems most likely to benefit humanity.
This project is essentially "give me some metadata & a command which takes env $PORT, and I'll handle the rest". Which is neat!
I am also sick of handling port numbers - I end up allocating them on a schema to different services, so for testing I can spool any VM/service combination and avoid crossover. But if I want the same service twice, ah...
It always fascinated me that ports don't have any kind of textual resolver, so you can bind to `:1234` and also say "please also accept `:foobar`".
But that would itself require some kind of "port resolver" on a device, and that's another service to break and fix :)
I thought so too at first. It is definitely something interfaced on top of Tauri[0] with some sort of 'server-side logic' framework[1]. But looking at Tauri's site, it is really hard to disentangle if PyWry is a binder about WRY[2] or not.
"OS-efficient cross-platform HTML-based UI toolkit" is a great technological thing, but neither PyWry and Tauri's sites make that clear, or meaningfully advertise what they do. Which is a shame, because there is myriad software which might benefit all to use this.
The physics engine mentioned towards the end, Jolt Physics [0] is used in the frankly blockbuster games Horizon: Forbidden West and Death Stranding 2 and yet opens its description with
> Why create yet another physics engine? Firstly, it has been a personal learning project.
which is really rather wonderful and inspiring to see.
If every website needed verification, why not simply move the verification to the device or ISP level? This seems like an authoritative move to track users across websites, and another good reason to keep using a VPN.
Certainly a terrifying amount of responsibility and upkeep for each individual website. If the UK wishes to establish this and not want it to lead to an insane amount of privacy leaks, it should consider developing a technology that makes it work in a privacy-respecting way, like the European Age Verification Solution [0]'s Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
I prefer to default to `develop` and then eventually branch out to `release`: that way my branch names are pretty explicit. It seemed silly to me to start with a "central" branch, no matter the wording, because that's not actually how Git works (and it's rather uninformative).
For... some in the comment section, please recall the HN guideline: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
"Good deed math" feels like it drives legitimacy from some intrinsic sense of 'goodness', which to my ken looks de-emphasised in Franklin's model. Each act is a deed unto itself: a good deed and a bad deed do not counteract or excuse one another in some cosmic calculus.
The only link is the person -- that their acts inform their thoughts and habits, which informs future acts. In this case "good deed math" is likely a post-hoc rationalisation, predicted by the Franklin model but not exactly encouraged.
I found this article while making my way about Wikipedia (as you do).
It's ice that burns: cages of water trapping methane, and indeed the largest non-atmospheric store of it on earth. It forms interesting fractals under a microscope, has subtle and historical climate effects, fosters methanotroph communities. It has commercial interest for methane extraction and may work well for static methane storage.
I took a brief gander at its code [0] and saw it mainly focusses on k-means clustering algorithms (in JS, no less). To my ken this is likely for suggesting new tabs, something a user is even less likely to use than renaming them.
Its constant drain even when not 'in use' seems to imply it's classifying tabs as they change page (though it might be telemetry or uncommented testing). If so, it's an example of premature optimisation gone very wrong.
It's a shame, because it overshadows the fact that naming tab groups is a perfect use case for an LLM, alongside keyboard suggestions and reverse dictionaries [1]. I'm ardently distrustful of LLMs for many, many purposes, but for the tiny parameter and token usage needed it's hard to not like. Which is a shame it's (somehow) such a drain.
Having just taken an IQ test out of curiosity, they strike me as testing very little beyond the ability to pattern recognise and extrapolate.
Having pattern recognised and extrapolated to my perception of the wealth-happiness curve, it seems that when your wants are met by your current wage, wanting more money is paradoxical -- it requires either time or stress that take away from the many other richnesses of life.
A little ambition (and savings) is good -- you can't recline too far back into the comfort zone -- but wealth never struck me as a particularly important measure of a person.
> he’s a VTuber, a fully virtual personality powered by artificial intelligence.
I have only a _passing_ familiarity with VTubers (my friend is one) and this is obviously and patently wrong. A VTuber is a YouTuber with a virtual avatar; no more, no less.
The article goes onto correct itself, but it’s a bit disheartening to see obvious misuse of terms in the first sentence…
An amendment proposed by congress [0] very specifically disallows a third term if the first two were consecutive. It's all been very cynical in that way.
Speaking as someone not from the country, US federal politics has became alarmingly... gerontocratic. Which means the younger generations get fewer chances to grow political acumen and expertise (unless, of course, they have backing). Which only hurts the rest of the country in the long term.
