gotcha, so the vulnerability will be in some common libraries that attackers force some wasm fallback path with custom wasm instructions that when executed does something nefarious.

I'd say at worst it's setup for poor security

Or if the author mocked out what each of the bad examples should look like if done properly.

I agree it's not a complete solution. But as those don't exist as a society we are looking for a step function in the right direction. and IMO this is one such step. You may disagree that it's not a very large step, but I would argue it's still in the right direction therefore it is neccesary, especially in education space, and I'm happy to see someone publishing at attempt.

Love this, simulations are great. My nit pick is around how fast these animations are. You blink and you miss it. I can imagine children having more difficult time with this than myself as an adult. (For context I started with the sound animations: The Invisible Dance -- Shape the Wave & The Journey)

This is the correct answer and is being used by teacher friends of mine with great success.

The structure they chose is in-class work counts for 80%+ of their grade. All work in class is done with pencil & paper. Quite simple in fact to solve a large part of the homework cheating issue.

I can't concieve even the flimsiest of reasons why anyone would ever listen to (or license/sync/track/ ) any of those generated songs once the novelty of "music made by the AI" is gone.

Easy: Independent/single-dev operations needing some quick background music for a project (game, whatever)

I cannot believe how exhausting (and expensive) this investigation has been for you. I had a GI surgery and one of the possible outcomes was permanent nausea, and when I woke up I had nausea for about 3 months and it was horrific. The symptoms resolved on their own after a while, and for a time I believe them to be psychosomatic, so I began meditation. In the end I don't know, but that must be scary.

I'm curious if fecal microbiota transplantation has been discussed? From what I can tell the gut biome is under studied and the effects are pretty scattered and wide. Thoughts?

I tried signing back up a couple weeks ago and despite not following and then blocking Elon, and only following non and a-political topics, I was inundated with right wing propaganda. Every 4-5th post was from Elon or similar. It was too distracting to use normally so I deleted my account and moved on.

There is such immense stored power in the universe, yet humans are struggling to harness even a tickle of the suns power via solar panels. Put into perspective of our galaxy, there is hardly no power difference between us and ants. Wild!

I'm not very financially literate. How does SVB shareholders getting nothing translate to shareholders of all other banks being in the same situation?

I've been looking for something similar for AI git commit messages... basically feed ChatGPT a git diff and ask it what changed and to write a git message. I've done this directly in the ChatGPT UI with some small changes and it produces some great messages...

I would be very concerned to run this on company code or large diffs. But small simple commits, which should be the goal with commit messages anyways, would take away some of the tedium of the git flow.

I always thought Xoogler was a moniker that wasn't given but was chosen by x-Googlers.

Source: Me, Xoogler.

I did: "net send * The server room is on fire, please turn off your computer!"

Not only that, but my computer name was assigned to my username so it said my full name next to it.....

I was called up to the office within 2 seconds and immediately suspended. I also got braces that dad. Rough day. :(

Here is one called the 10,000 year clock that is currently under construction (by Jeff Bezos). You can read about it here: https://www.10000yearclock.net/learnmore.html

"The book has been denounced as alarmist and inaccurate in the scientific and medical communities because [the author] claims that cannabis causes psychosis and violence; many scientists state that he is drawing inappropriate conclusions from the research, primarily by inferring causation from correlation as well as cherry picking data that fits his narrative, and falling victim to selection bias via his use of anecdotes to back up his assertions."

I've been following his journey for years, it's been a fascinating and some times heartbreaking story not to dissimilar to Sisyphus. Every other chapter is about him renewing his mental strength, grit, determination, and then months later tearing it all apart because of fundamental flaws. Repeat for years. His mental health is an underlying theme throughout the story we're watching and I worry for him.

With that said, he is truly an imaginative and great engineer and musician and while my discipline is primarily software, he's taught me a lot about design principles I apply today. Namely, keep things simple, emphasis on unit testing and measuring results, recognizing and addressing sunk cost fallacy and many many others.

I've grown to really respect and admire him. But I fear this project has a stranglehold over his mental health and I fear for what that means for his future if he cannot get to a place he is truly happy with.

God speed Martin, I hope you can get the boulder up the hill one day.

edit: Update, after some sleuthing, apparently he is moving and taking care of his family right now(?) https://www.reddit.com/r/MarbleMachineX/comments/usk6ru/wher...

I tried that as well but resulted in an error:

AttributeError: module 'torch._C' has no attribute '_cuda_resetPeakMemoryStats'

Small bug report to the OP (hopefully you own the website): The light/dark toggle starts off on dark setting but visually the website is on the light setting. So if you toggle it, the toggle goes light, but visually nothing changes, toggling it back to dark, visually it changes to dark. This only works once as settings as persisted correctly. But opening up an incognito browser you can repro.

Edit: Cool website :)

The one difference is that the Amazon Basics products seem to have a quality bar higher than the other random re-labeled products.

Better now when you can test your error handling then at 3:30am when your high priority service goes down :)

Why does it need to be able to delete contacts & calendars:

- See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts

- See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar

So, I am a bit paranoid, but I bet some on HN will enable this for their corporate calendars. If I were a government-sponsored entity or small organization I would definitely spend a few grand on designers & engineering to create a product like a calendar or a shiny new email client to learn some trade secrets. Just saying... why hack your way into a corp when you can ask nicely to walk in the front door.

That's because a generator is being returned from `foo` (the yield syntax gives you this).

Try calling next() on the return value of foo.

I get:

  Promise {<rejected>: TypeError: Class extends value async function () {} is not a constructor or null
    at foo

This was really satisfying to demo on the bus. I held my phone up as still as I could and when the bus lurched forward or made an abrupt stop the fluid responded accordingly. Something about it was just beautiful. Tech imitating nature. The illusion held pretty well too. Good job Google/Apple for making good sensor data and this algorithm uses it well. Great job!

Honest question, what can be seen at one quadrillion fps that 10 trillion cannot already see? This question is out of pure ignorance and wonder, like "Why would you ever want to move faster than a horse". But this is at a scale I just cannot think in anymore.

Ha, in order to contribute financially to his campaign you have to be at least 18 years old. :)

On a more serious note... why not? I would love it if my daughter/son wanted to do something like this. What a life experience! I am positive this will peak his interest / make him likely to be interested in politics / global & current events now because he's had this experience and IMO that's the best way to learn!

Honestly, thats how I learned about software engineering, I picked something (a game) that I was extremely interested in, and programming was just my conduit to make modifications to the game. Only later did I learn that programing was interesting apart from that game and was the start of a big career.

Good on him!

Couple of nits & questions:

1) I'm surprised CSS preprocessors made it as a must, and CSS in JS as only recommended. I figured that would be switched, isn't the current golden path CSS in JS?

2) Is webpack a must these days? Can we not just throw everything in typescript? Maybe that's only personal preferences!

3) No one ever needs to know jQuery anymore ;)

Glad to see lodash made it though

I was nodding along until this:

They posted my entire medical record, including notes about my mental health, my bills, my insurance info, my driver’s license, birth date and home address,” she said.

wow. That violates HIPAA law. The counter-sue is going to be huge.

Also, I had a related issue where a doctor threatened to sue based on my yelp review. I cut the review back to verifiable facts instead of opinion and asked if that compromise was ok, he said it wasn't and started claiming it was defamation. I cut off contact and that was that. I wondered if it was possible to be dragged into court by something like this, apparently I may have dodged a bullet. Scary stuff.

This is great! About 6 years ago I created a worms destructible terrain using canvas. Still up on my website all these years later, no promises on code quality though :)

What you're describing is a driving test that every human needs to go through before they're allowed to drive on public roads. Something that can be revoked temporarily or permanently.

I would be very interested in a 3rd party (government or private) create a rigorous test (obstacles, weather conditions, etc...) for self driving vehicles. Becoming "XXX safety Certified with a Y Score" for all major updates to the AI could help restore confidence in the system and eliminate bad actors.
