Not sure what the policies are on banning sites, but can this website please be banned?

I'm on mobile, this website has deceptive hitboxes so "dismiss" on the notifications prompt will almost hit the advert on the bottom. Once I finally managed to read the article and hit the bottom of the page, it had a popup which hijacked navigation so I couldn't easily return to HN.

Will record this behavior if asked.

That said... There's not much to say about this? Is it using "meta" lenses printed on silicon? Wish the article would have had any information whatsoever. I suppose we'll learn more at CES. :P

I also made a game for the gametank! In rust B)

Optimization is tough, especially figuring out what to do between blitter operations. I'm kinda sad there's no pallet tricks either, but, it's a system worth playing around in :)

They used a sound-alike and had her sing one of her songs. I believe that's a different precedent, in that it's leveraging her fame.

Imo Sky's voice is distinct enough from Scarlett, and it wasn't implied to _be_ her.

Sam's "Her" tweet could be interpreted as such, but defending the tweet as the concept of "Her", rather than the voice itself, is.

I've been using Pkl since it came out and I like it a lot, and the editing experience is fantastic with intellij.

I don't think inheritance is a flaw at all here. It makes a lot of sense to build configuration up from base definitions, especially when you account for its merge syntax.

I've been using it for k8s manifests a la customize. The biggest pain point for me is the lack of flat member syntax when updating deeply nested fields.

Something that's caught my eye is KCL, which seems similar, but maybe a bit more mature?

Cool stuff! I built a similar cluster of Orange Pi 5s with NVMe drives. For IP masking I'm paying for a $3.50 VPS to have nginx forward raw packets.

Fwiw Cloudflare Proxy and, to a lesser extent Tunnels, are de facto MITM attacks. I don't exactly trust large unprofitable corporations to do the right thing when they decrypt all of my and my users' traffic.

Not that CF is a malicious entity, but, the potential for them to be used as one is a looming threat. Then again, so is any VPS you host on :^)

Kagi and Wolfram 2 years ago

To ensure result quality, we automatically downrank pages with advertising and tracking, which are often associated with low-quality or machine-generated content.

That is one of the most compelling things I've ever heard about a search engine.

How well does kagi work for niche "reddit queries" like "best waterproof midi synthesizers reddit"?

I spent a lot of time playing Bally Twilight Zone at the Munich Maker Lab a few years back. I still miss the tungsten bulbs which lit the ball consistently, as opposed to LEDs which tend to "blink" rapidly (at 60Hz?). It makes the ball much easier to track at high speed, and has such a nostalgic soft glow which gently fades off into nothing.

I also miss reading the manual and fixing little things every so often.

It looks like this machine has either moved on from MuMaLab, or was never listed in the first place.

It would be nice to be able to filter machines here by what kind of lights they use. I imagine most places tend to use LEDs to save on electricity. At least that's been my experience checking the barcades I've found from this site.

IIRC Alan Watts believed that were are all one being, living every life in sequence, at different points in time. So you would at some point be the same chicken you slaughtered.

It's been many years, though, since I listened to him. And I was usually focused on other things. That may have been just a supposition on another point.

What? GitHub Actions, at the very least, isn't strictly yaml. I run arbitrary code in whatever language I want all the time. I'm pretty sure third party workflows can, too.

But yeah, I think Helm will be the death of Kubernetes. Some competing computer allocator container runner thingie will have some decent language for configuration, and it will just take over overnight. Mark my words!

I want to believe this.

Everywhere I've worked we're still rawdogging tf/hcl and helm though, because change is scary.

At least I get some relief in my personal projects. :')

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I prototyped an SPA recently with mithril.js and CoffeeScript and I think there's really something magical about that combo.

Oddly enough I can't stand writing python or js. I do almost all of my actual programming in Rust, because I adore the type system.

Summarizing the article: The most damning thing here is the "ChatGPT as a search engine" feature, which appears to run an agent which performs a search, visits pages, and returns the best results.

In doing this, it is bypassing the NY Times paywall, and you can read full articles from today by repeatedly asking for the next paragraph.

Build in release, optimize for size. LLVM-MOS produces some remarkably good assembly. Rust is still missing some optimizations though, since rust-mos is a few years out of date.

The point isn't that people can communicate over the Internet though. That's easy to explain.

What's harder to explain is the emergent behavior that comes from that. I like to think of this as "meta gaming".

Generally when people start playing a new game, they don't care much for picking the optimal team/items/tools, they just play to have fun. As they play more, they recognize that some combinations are stronger than others. Some people will theory craft those combinations.

Over time, the general population will inherit those combinations, or perhaps build against it. That's kind of like the Internet before and the Internet now, but on a much larger and more complex scale.

Last night I attempted to install Windows 11 on a new laptop, released 2022. The installer doesn't allow you to continue without connecting to the Internet first, and Windows doesn't have the right WiFi drivers built in.

I'm lazy, so I installed Fedora instead

I know this isn't precisely related, but these anti-patterns add up. It does not feel good to be a Microsoft customer.
