I’m grateful for it, but let’s just say it’s not always the most reliable so it’s nice to see before hand when the train you need is due to arrive. There are plenty of projects out there that show real-time BART arrival information. This one does that too, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but I wanted to build my own version that captures the vintage BART platform sign vibe I associate with commuting between the East Bay and my…
💥 Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: 💡 Here’s what you’ll learn: I really enjoy procedural generation, especially systems designed to work with hardware outputs. After starting work at Formlabs in September of 2023 and gaining access to much nicer printers than I was used to, I started wanting to tackle some large algorithmic structure projects. Complexity is free in 3d printing, the limit of design geometry is mostly how much time you’re willing to spend in CAD. I wanted to print the most complicated art piece I could think of. Marble Fountain is what…

I went to university. I got good grades. I did three internships. I ran a tiny consultancy for a while, building things for people and sending invoices that were actually paid. I studied computer science. I have done the very normal,…

![[rfc] LLM policy? · Issue #4990 · opencontainers/runc · GitHub](https://viralpique.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/4990-800x500.png)
🔥 Discover this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: 💡 Main takeaway: We've seen a slight uptick in pull-requests and bug reports which appear to be LLM-generated, so it's probably about time to come to a decision on what we should and should not accept and document this somewhere (presumably in CONTRIBUTING.md). My personal opinion is we shouldn't accept anything LLM-generated, but this is probably not the common position of most @opencontainers/runc-maintainers, so we should probably consider LLM-generated code and issues separately. IMHO, we should close all LLM-generated issues as spam, because even if they are describing real…

Via Wikipedia.From roughly the end of the US Civil War until the late 1950s, the United Kingdom was one of the biggest shipbuilders in the world. By the 1890s, UK shipbuilders were delivering 80% of worldwide shipping tonnage, and though the country only briefly maintained this market-dominating level of output— on the eve of World War I, its share of the market had fallen to 60% — it nonetheless remained one of the…

💥 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: ✅ Main takeaway: We’ve long accepted the idea that someone is “healthy” if their lab results are normal and they’re not taking medication. But what if that’s the wrong measuring stick? What if metabolic illness starts long before your first abnormal blood test?Most metabolic diseases… type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, fatty liver, etc, are present for more than a decade before a routine physical examination and blood tests will identify the issue. They are area under the curve issues… where the area is time. I discussed this concept at…

But new moves towards allowing more distracted driving could make it harder for the company to blame drivers when its software fails. Tesla has been marketing some version of its Autopilot or FSD…
💥 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: ✅ Key idea: We traditionally divide consoles into “generations”—the earliest devices like the Magnavox Odyssey are the first generation, the Atari 2600 is second, the NES third, the SNES and Genesis fourth, the PlayStation fifth, and so on. These divisions turn out to be pretty slippery when you look at them more closely—generations don’t really match product lineage, raw power, or year of release all that closely at all. The closest we come to a real division is that consoles in the same generation competed against one another as…
