katiahayati/lucasartsifier: Static analysis for Sierra adventure games: finds softlocks by abstract interpretation of decompiled SCI scripts, derives and verifies guards, recompiles them into the game · GitHub

0 CommentsEntertainment

🔥 Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Static analysis for 30-year-old adventure games. This tool decompiles a Sierra SCI game, abstract-interprets the decompiled scripts into a graph of guarded room transitions, item movements and plot-flag writes, finds the softlocks — states where the game still accepts input but victory has quietly become impossible — and derives, verifies, compiles and installs guards that prevent them. Nothing about any title is declared: the start room, the victory room, the death signal and the debug flags are all discovered from the game's own code. Sierra…

Palomar – a registry of Lean verified mathematics

🚀 Explore this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: In recent months there has been a proliferation of AI-generated proofs of various old and new results, some of which have been formalized in the proof assistant language Lean. However, checking that a given Lean repository actually proves the claimed statement is somewhat non-trivial, especially for an audience which is not expert in the use of Lean: one has to first check that the claimed formal Lean statements have proofs that typecheck, that the proofs do not contain any “cheats” such as adding additional axioms,…

Literary Hub » On That Disgraceful, Disreputable, (Wonderful) Form of Punctuation: The Parenthesis

0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Explore this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Shakespeare and friends would call punctuation “distinctions,” according to the Latin tradition, or “pointing,” because of the medieval practice of placing dots or points at different levels of the line. The first occurrence of the word “punctuation” happens in the French dialogue book Orthoepia Gallica from 1593 by translator and language teacher John Eliot, whose funny and colloquial conversations in facing columns on the page influenced Shakespeare’s witty repartee. Eliot challenges London French teachers to “find fault” with his “pricks, nicks, and tricks,” referring to his punctuation and…

DePIN is Dead. Long Live Infrastructure-as-a-Service. · Konstantin Tkachuk

🚀 Explore this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Every infrastructure sector in modern history developed using the same playbook. Someone builds raw capacity ahead of demand. The raw resource commoditizes and gets cheaper forever. And the money moves to whoever sells guaranteed, contracted service on top of it. So far, cloud ran it, telecom ran it, even chip makers did it to an extent. Crypto infrastructure is attempting to repeat it right now.Motivation to continue this research came from a news article a couple of weeks ago. Storj, one of the actually working…

pg83/solo: Portable Linux binaries, solved · GitHub

0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Ship one musl-linked executable. At runtime, load the user's existing glibc-linked GPU driver. No container, no AppImage, and no second libc in the process. Static binaries are a wonderfully boring way to deploy software on Linux: one file, no dependencies, nothing to break. We build ours with IX, a source-first build system for producing fully static Linux binaries. The boredom ends the moment the application needs the GPU: Vulkan and OpenGL drivers are supplied by the host as shared objects, usually built against glibc,…

💥 Read this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: AI capabilities are advancing at a faster rate than our institutional response. Soon, a transformative technology will crash into the capitalist political economy, presenting risks to humanity’s survival, autonomy, and democratic order. Especially concerning is the possibility that vast amounts of power and wealth are concentrated into the class that owns the AI systems, or uses those systems to override democratic control. Silicon Valley talks flippantly of a ‘Permanent Underclass’ - and they intend for you to belong to it.Upon the automation of most, and…
