tetris11··on Tell HN: Merry Christmas
Happy Christmas! If an Uber delivery driver loses your order somehow; no he didn't.

If you spot someone with a trolley full of food sprinting out of the supermarket; no you didn't.

tetris11··on Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2026?
> Major breakthroughs in robotics research thanks to ultra scalable simulation software and RL

I was hoping that plumbers, electricians, construction, factory workers still had another 10-20 years before being priced out of the work pool.

I was also hoping we had that much time to use threat of mass protest to keep our politicians aligned.

I genuinely think it's game over for 99% of humanity's interests once the top wealthiest individuals and/or their governments can simply deploy robots en masse.

I have to admit, watching some of the landscapes come to life did take my breath away initially.

Though I did notice that all the human characters tend to take on the same generic facial realness, which does diminish the paintings style itself.

Also, the trees sway and bob far too much

Felicia Hemans's poem He Never Smiled Again is an ode to Henry I's reaction to his son and only male heir perishing in the tragedy, that later plunged England into a tumultuous period known as "The Anarchy"

tetris11··on What is the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
Another one just came to me, as I witnessed it yesterday on the train. A homeless man was walking down the train aisle, shaking a handful of coins and asking people for change in a long drawn out plead.

Everyone stared deeper into their phones until he went away, but when he came back a woman with a child handed him some change and he walked on without thanking her.

The kid asked "why did you give him money mummy?" and her response was simply "you see homeless, you give money" and that was the end of it. I just liked the implicit matter-of-fact decency in which she lived her life.

tetris11··on 4 billion if statements (2023)
probably easier in bash:

    number="$1"
    if [[ "$number" =~ "^(2|4|6|8|10|12|14|16|18|20)$" ]]; then
        echo even
    elif [[ "$number" =~ "^(1|3|5|7|9|11|13|15|17|19)$" ]]; then
        echo odd
    else
        echo Nan
    fi
A bit limited, but you can scale it up

tetris11··on What is the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
Kinda a similar story, I slipped off my bike at the end of a wet turn and scraped up my leg.

A woman passing by saw the whole thing, and said she lived nearby and would happily run me a bath.

I took her up on the offer, and, um, I was a few hours late to work that day :-)

tetris11··on “The Matilda Effect”: Pioneering Women Scientists Written Out of Science History
Emmy Noether is a good one

> In April 1933, Noether received a notice from the Prussian Ministry for Sciences, Art, and Public Education which read: “On the basis of paragraph 3 of the Civil Service Code of 7 April 1933, I hereby withdraw from you the right to teach at the University of Göttingen.”

> Noether accepted the decision calmly, providing support for others during this difficult time. Hermann Weyl later wrote that “Emmy Noether – her courage, her frankness, her unconcern about her own fate, her conciliatory spirit – was in the midst of all the hatred and meanness, despair and sorrow surrounding us, a moral solace.”

> Typically, Noether remained focused on mathematics, gathering students in her apartment to discuss class field theory. When one of her students appeared in the uniform of the Nazi paramilitary organization Sturmabteilung (SA), she showed no sign of agitation and, reportedly, even laughed about it later.

tetris11··on Strong earthquake hits northern Japan, tsunami warning issued
It is a kid's show. The main characters' outfit is modelled after Japan's iconic recovery workers (stark orange and blue), a compliment of their heroics echoed in fiction.

This character can clone himself hundreds times to help others, with art often mirroring the thousands of recovery workers seen in actual event footage.

My comment intended to link back the image of childhood heroes as corporeal selfless adults

A thousand Naruto shadow-clones just got deployed. I'm not being cute, these guys are heroes and role-models to all.

I wonder if there's a model of relativity where the speed of light is constant to each frame-of-reference observer only if two events don't break causality for three or more observers, at which point the speed of light for the rule-breaking observers adjusts accordingly...

Hear, hear.

I once asked David Potter what happened post-symbian, and he smiled and shrugged

Add a keyboard, and you would have piqued my interest.

I dont understand how ex-Nokia devs could have built a phone like the N900 and then just walked away from it for 15 years
