This stuff is always so interesting to me because this is the part/step of solo game-development where people don't make too much content about it online, so you need to find books/scraps of content about rolling your own complex physics engine. It's all knowledge that's stuck in the industry/random github repos it seems.

When I was first engaging into web development a year ago, I was making forms that took addresses. From a C and C++ background, I kept asking, what if they lived in a specific country? How can I make my database truly safe? What is the best way to store all these addresses? I immediately gave up on that effort. Very impressive.

Especially when all of these language models have been built on and learned from said copyrighted content.

You're not wrong in any capacity. It's just bad and doesn't improve any "security" if that was intended.

Working on a reverse proxy in Rust, https://rpdm.geneseesoftwarellc.com (NYS property lookup), a 3D physics and rendering engine using Entity-Component-System architecture, a time logging application for our clients at work, and another C program for low level graphics stuff.

I suddenly now imagine Zuck no differently from some of my unemployed friends.

I'm actually familiar with 4chan and lurked on it when I was underage at least daily. It was funny for the time.

I'm not sure where the idea comes from that the entire site's reputation is containerized inside /pol/ or any NSFW board. It's just misleading if you take 5 minutes to browse around (if you still can, anyway). The language and harassment used in ALL boards of any group of people or individual is disgusting.

Obviously those people will continue to think and exist the way they are. But we can't assume things will slowly start getting better if we continually allow increasingly racist "discourse" and misinformation in our society.

Yet another reason 4chan and its anonymity is a misinformation and propaganda warzone.

That is a completely separate problem, and it's dishonest making the comparison. Extremist right wing ideology and genocide is actively advocated on /pol/ as well as anti-Jewish rhetoric. Neo-nazism is not pointing out Israel's war crimes, and pointing out Israel's war crimes is not neo-nazism or anti-Jewish. /pol/ isn't antisemitic for Israel's genocide; they just hate Jewish people.

The Trump administration trying to deport people for doing so is also unjustified. People are freely criticizing Israel on other popular social media (notably TikTok and Instagram) without inciting a modern neo-nazi and right wing movement like what has happened on 4chan in the past 10 years.

That's fine, I don't really expect a 22 year old site with generational backup storage to actually go down forever. I'm 23, so I got them beat!

We've heard it time and time again that 4chan is the so called "last bastion of free speech on the internet" when this so called free speech is just being unapologetically racist and antisemitic. I hope its gone for good.

My understanding is that Biden was very concerned about his legacy and there are rumors about the "no daylight" phrase he spoke with Harris on her campaign and probably part of the reason she lost. But Biden should have dropped down much earlier and will taint his legacy forever. At least he passed the infrastructure bill.

It's impressive you're able to have decent results from free tiers and open source models.

What about the headline is a lie (I do think it may have changed, but I'm not sure after looking at it this morning)?

Unfortunately, the Constitution's text has been increasingly under subject of debate. Trump himself is trying to redefine the meaning of the jurisdiction clause in birthright citizenship.

Interesting take. I believe this is a theme that everyone in the US is familiar with, but the idea that "big money is the enemy" and the reality of it has somehow not permeated through the general public enough. It seems that the Trump-voting public sees the Democrats as compromised rather than the Republicans, but even with this one action by Trump you can argue strongly that they are as well.

I try to view things like this from the other perspective and wonder just why so many people still view this person like he's the common man's savior. I think I'm cognitively dissonance-ing myself from possibly all the cognitive dissonance I'm surrounded with.

I don't disagree with this either. Capitalism requires a constant stream of new people to operate effectively to increase labor output. This is the system we've been dependent on. We wouldn't need a >2.5 birthrate to maintain all of our water, electrical, and communication systems.

We are not overpopulated.

I hate the type of people that hammer the idea that society needs to double or triple the birthrate (Elon Musk), but as it currently stands, countries like South Korea, Japan, USA, China, and Germany risk extinction or economic collapse in 4-5 generations if the birth rate doesn't rise or the way we guarantee welfare doesn't change.

Lol, I've always loved that about physics. Some boltzmann brain type stuff.

The risk is a quantifiable 0.0%? I find that hard to believe. I think the current trends suggest there is a risk that continued environmental destruction could annihilate society.

Civilization has always operated on the idea that men must work for it to function properly. When less people willingly work it can be detrimental for future welfare. The way that unemployment is interpreted by the public now is not very accurate. The gig economy has grown massively since 2020, which counts towards labor statistics, but its arguable to say if they should. The number of small or local owned businesses have grown substantially since 2020 - but is that because of a surplus of opportunity or people looking for ways to make additional money? The quality of the labor matters.

"You don't need to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate."

This theme of "small town USA" is dying everywhere, even here in Upstate New York. Drugs and lack of opportunity has a chokehold on everywhere in America.

3-4 years is not long at all in this context. Most places take that long to get permits, and additional years to build the factories, and additional years to even become profitable and self sustainable in ideal circumstances.

rayiner does this pretty consistently - strawmanning the argument and acting confused, on most political threads on hn.

I really like this, I'll maybe use it once I actually get some clients to respond ;)

I tried implementing my own on my own website, but between all my projects and work I keep pushing my own business website backward...

This all feels familiar to the principle of least action found in physics.
