I was downloading it "just to see," but your comment is roughly a carbon copy of my own IDE/editor usage history, so 1) ooo spooky deja vu and 2) here's hoping I feel the same way you do.

A while back I stumbled upon a youtube channel[1] dedicated to just solo sailing trips. I'm not sure how much is him/his video composition vs. just the subject matter of filming one's seemingly minuscule progress across the vast reaches of ocean, but I became entranced by just the calm plodding-ness of his days. Did a great job of breaking down trips and prep in some of his videos.

Can't speak to his latest stuff, so YMMV, but for a while it worked for me as incredible background. I imagine there's more and more content like this on YT, what with more powerful technology becoming more ubiquitous.

Thanks watched one and it was neat!

Q: can anyone tell me what these solo people do when they need to sleep and it’s too deep to anchor?


Of course it varies by person, but they generally take small naps with the goal being that the nap is short enough the boat doesn't travel "past the horizon" or in other words past where they could see when they were at the helm. That's speed dependent, but I've seen them say 20-40 minutes naps. Further, there are systems like AIS (automatic identification system) that broadcast your location that depending on the area most boats above a certain length will have on, so your receiver can be set to alarm if a beacon comes within a certain distance. You can also set up a radar system to alarm if it detects anything in your path in a certain distance, those are notoriously unreliable though. Plus you have a VHF radio that can be set to scan and someone might hail you in time to stop a collision. With those on, people who are willing to accept more risk will sometimes take longer sleeps and just risk it, especially in less congested waters. That channel in particular recently had a comment about accidentally sleeping through their alarm and going for several hours unattended.

But solo sailing longer passages is inherently a dangerous proposition.


Basically, as a solo, you can only safely sleep/rest when the weather is calm (day or night). So, yeah, if the weather is rough, you don't sleep. That is why many solo sailors with YouTube vids look like shit the morning after an all-nighter!


You sleep for 20-30 minutes at a time, looking for traffic in between. Seems miserable.


from itchio to 200K+ on steam. Fantastic work. I have loved every minute of playing, and am astounded by the amount of work you've put into the game. Wild to see it a year+ ago vs today. But also still rage inducing when a drop misses every one of my triggers (gg). <3


> what’s next, pattern matching?

Oh boy do I have news for you... https://tc39.es/proposal-pattern-matching/

:P


It's hard running and managing wikis, and anyone/org/group that does so outside of the auspices of fandom or similar trash-aggregation hosts should be celebrated. Love this for weirdgloop. On a related note, shoutout to liquipedia[1], which has been a great experience for so long (a number of years I refuse to recognize as it would prove I'm old), and I have always feared the possibility of it moving to or becoming a fandom.

Can't see it ever happening, it's obviously not a service driven by revenue. The Dota2 non-esports wiki recently migrated from Fandom to Liquipedia too


Inevitable settlement with no real change in the market dynamics, or am I too down on the U.S. Justice system?


This is the kind of discourse I seek out on HN. ty


Am I blocking too many scripts, or has it been HN'd to death with requests?


I'm using uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and it was working for me until a few minutes ago.


I tested it just now and it seems to work fine.

Sometimes there's a short delay before the music circle appears.


I think their point was that openAI (the nonpro) had the right idea in re: those concerns/concentration.

The velocity of release and entwining with MSFT (by the profit side) might then be reasonably seen as a great concern for the board.


> So -- if appropriate -- he could make changes.

Where are you drawing this conclusion from? Nothing in the text suggests that was his intent - certainly his actions thereafter suggest that he was in fact more concerned with the potential harm to the for-profit company.


The journalist failed to make that point really clear. He "reprimanded" her "and" said "it was dangerous to the company". What exactly did he "reprimand" her for? The "and" seems to imply two separate points of criticism.

>In the email, Mr. Altman said that he had reprimanded Ms. Toner for the paper and that it was dangerous to the company, particularly at a time, he added, when the Federal Trade Commission was investigating OpenAI over the data used to build its technology.
