This started as a conversation with a friend who doesn’t play games.

I tried to explain why I still lose despite thousands of hours in Tekken 8.

The deeper I went, the more I saw it wasn’t just about games. It’s about reaction time, pattern recognition, psychology — and how you hit a wall even when you know what to do.

Would love to hear how others have experienced this in games, coding, or life.

I've been working to move away from Google. Kagi was the easiest and best move. Though Apple's lack of native 3rd party search engine support has been annoying, and it requires various hacks from Kagi to make it work. That's my only gripe, but that's on Apple.

The hardest things for me have been email and maps.

The switching cost for email, especially one I've had since the gmail beta, is astronomically high. I don't think I will ever be able to fully delete the account (though I did delete about 5 alt email accounts I had with Gmail).

Maps has also been hard, as Google Maps is my go-to place for business information and reviews. I use Apple Maps for actual navigation, but their POI and business data is severely lacking, and the lean on Yelp doesn't cut it. Kagi maps is being developed, but has a long way to go, and to get to the point of Google Maps... I don't think they have keep enough pockets for that.

And there is YouTube of course, which is Google owned. There is really no good alternative for that.

The presumption is that for someone without a hyper-connected Silicon Valley social network, someone here currently probably works for Meta, could get in touch with them to verify their claim, and possibly help them submit an Oops. Many megacorps don't have any sort of official approachable support path and DGAF about individual users.

My (former) personal account was instabanned twice for simply browsing the 2FA page during the Meta hiring process. It turned out I had a zombie FB account that I'd prefer to have obliterated because I didn't have access to the email it was associated with any longer, e.g., @stanford.edu, and that was tripping the "one FB account per human" rule.

> AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. There are no inherent limits around what AI can and can't do or comprehend.

Artificial, as in Artificial sand or artificial grass. Sure, it appears as sand or grass at first, but upon closer examination, it becomes very apparent that it's not real. Artificial is basically a similar word to magic - as in, it offers enough misdirection in order for people to think there might be intelligence, but upon closer examination, it's found lacking.

It's still impressive that it can do that, going all the way back to gaming AIs, but it's also a veil that is lifted easily.

It's dumb because a font a allowed to re-interpret the actual image, but in doing so you also frequently change the meaning of the symbol. This is not a problem for text, but for images just changing the color of the fill might completely change the meaning of the sentence.

See the old apple gun vs squirt gun. The same is true also when using stuff like whatsapp on android, where the os keyboard shows you one image from the system theme, but the one which you see inserted in the text is not what you selected, but at least is partially better than sending something without knowing how it will be rendered, which is what most chat messages have realized after trying to simply using the system font.

So at that point, you have to switch to a different custom font just for the emoji block, and you're still limited to what unicode allows instead of just bundling whatever image you want (which is a great excuse to sell new phones with "new emojis" I guess).

Vim has it’s advantages:

- Fast and precise navigation (jumping to files and jumping to some point in the file)

- Fast editing command (there’s no need to select first, and when you need to selection is fast due to the above)

- Easy extensibility (either custom commands which you can bind to keys, or hooking some logic to editor’s event)

- Integration with external tooling (using the text as input, collecting the output, intepret the output to find location to jump to)

All of these are first citizen in Vim, whereas in some editors, it can only be done with plugins.

While it would be cool to make a mobile app for this, having used both the tech stack behind this site (it's open source, and really great), and written a mobile app with a similar tech stack, $100k will get you one, but it's going to be a pain to debug all the various niggles around various devices, so you'll need at least double that to make a robust one (and then the question is, do you just go native and reimplement that tech stack).

8 years ago I bought a house. My monthly rent was 1300 and mortgage/escrow/repair savings were instead 2000. Rent went up $100-$200 a year.

My son is looking for rentals in our same community and the equivalent rental to what I had is now around $3000.

Even ignoring appreciation, in the long term there was a cash flow savings.

Thanks for sharing! Never heard about it but seems like an interesting project. Also another interesting tidbit from Wikipedia: "The Python programming language was originally developed for this platform."

Seems to be the source code was archived, I wonder if it's bootable in a VM. Well I know what'll do this weekend!

> Iran has sewed so much discord in the Middle East by arming Hez, Hamas and the Houthis.

Have you seen Israeli leaders plans for 'Greater Israel'?

> I'm very happy the US got involved and destroyed their enrichment sites.

A - Did they though?

B - Cheering on huge breaches of international law, spurring nations to develop their own nuclear weapons and ignore peace talks, seems rather short-sighted.

> I'm also happy Israel didn't wait around for Iran to destroy them, which they've actively been trying to do in this war.

... That's quite the cherry on a remarkably ahistorical cake. Countries generally respond to people genociding and invading their neighbours, assassinating their negotiators and scientists, etc.

> Is there even enough materials on the planet to build all those batteries?

By many, many orders of magnitude.

There's enough stuff you could use batteries as a replacement for bricks (and timber) in your (everyone's, worldwide) house construction, and still only be a rounding error in the global resources.

Also more than one chemistry, so while Wikipedia says li-ion batteries use 11.6 kWh per kilogram of lithium, just remember there's also sodium-based batteries and literally oceans full of both sodium and lithium.

And they can be recycled when they wear out, unlike methane, oil, and coal which are burned in the process of making heat; and all of those are extracted at a much higher rate than are battery minerals would need to be even if we didn't recycle at end-of-life when they've been through too many charge-discharge cycles.

> Nuclear is here.

So are renewables, and they're already cheaper.

But also, getting power from a nuclear reactor to your house requires a power grid. And you can also use that power grid to simply… put the e.g. solar panels somewhere else in your country that isn't -40 and covered in snow — or a different country, as demonstrated by e.g. the USA's western connection tying bits of Canada to bits of Mexico: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power_transmiss...

I use both (neovim instead of vim, i3 as wm) and you got me thinking. I think the point of both is actually not having to use the mouse. But the mouse is not the problem per se, probably is the spatial/visual interaction paradigm. I don't care where the window exactly goes, I just want it right/on top/minimized. I don't want to search visually for a button that does what I want, I know what I want, I can just "tell" the computer. It's not about keybindings as shortcuts to do something, it's talking to the computer via keyboard using my language center without the intermediary of the gesture/spatial metaphor. Maybe? I just thought of this sorry.

It was very frustrating to play, I bought my PS4 bundled with it and I didn't enjoy the game at all. Generally all the Uncharted games are on rails but Uncharted 4 was ridiculous. I think I died by running in the wrong direction.

Generally naughty dog's games follow the same basic formula and are on rails. Uncharted 2 was the best game of the bunch. Though last boss was tedious, especially on the harder difficulties. TLOU had better stealth / combat IMO than Uncharted. But the game was pretty tedious in places, especially if you had heard the convos, plot points before.

I think most of these games are meant to be played maybe once by a more casual audience.

How can you factor in the aspect that a cool car might impress someone who might get you a better job? Or it allows you to "look the part" and "fake it till you make it"? People sometimes rent cars and watches and suits to appear higher class when talking to potential investors or other business partners.

Having a better house might allow you to invite more people over for parties or dinner, which can have downstream effects in your social mobility and status.

If you can keep up with the Joneses and chit chat about your vacation to some nice place, it may allow you to become an insider in some group.

At least that's the "logic" (even if subconscious) to chasing status symbols. Though very often it fails because faking it is hard and you can easily be clocked as a tasteless tryhard. But if you don't take too large steps up, you might get away with it and reap the social benefits.

They don't really "hint at what they use to calculate them" so much as "tell you exactly what is used to calculate them, how it's calculated, and even include an estimation tool so you can calculate your score yourself"

https://www.myfico.com/credit-education/whats-in-your-credit...

>payment history (35%), amounts owed (30%), length of credit history (15%), new credit (10%) and credit mix (10%).

https://www.myfico.com/fico-credit-score-estimator/estimator

For fucks sake, at least keep your conspiracy theories somewhat believable.

Absolutely nobody is worried about "gaming" credit scores because the activities to "game" credit scores are identical to the activities that make you likely to pay off debt in the future and that's what a credit score measures. So it doesn't matter if you pay off your bills to "game" or to be responsible, you're still paying off your bills.

> Your operational choices boil down to whether you want to pass through planet C, to trade time for flexibility.

I don't think that's true, at least when programs play it. Key to victory was making sure that you have enough of forces to capture the planet you are sending your forces to. It was always about having the right sized fleet ready and sending right sized fleet sometimes from multiple sources to capture the planet and increase your production as a result.

It's true that the game had perfect information, instant communication and no randomness in battle outcome. Are those necessary elements for something to be operations game or are those just elements that particularly interest you?

WhatsApp has a critical advantage in Kenya from my experience: telecom operators such as Safaricom include quite generous WA bundles in their customers' subscriptions, allowing one to use it even though they would otherwise be out of credits. Being out of credits/airtime is not uncommon, since the economical bundles are sold as expiring in 24h/7d/30d.

> Why do you need to sync with the shaping engine?

GP explained already. Grapheme clusters ≠ glyphs. To find the number of glyphs you need the font.

An emoji can render as one or two or three or more glyphs depending on what font the user has installed, because many emoji are formed by joining two or more emoji by a ZWJ)

(Also even in a monospace font not all glyphs are of ﷽ equal width)

There are regulations around it even today. It's not a complete free-for-all. https://www.paidnice.com/usury-laws-by-state

But to answer the question, there's quite an instinctual aversion to earning money through apparent idleness. Same reason that people hate landlords who just get "passive income" simply for owning. (Of course the owner had to buy it in the first place, or had to inherit it - and indeed inheriting too much stuff also rubs people the wrong way - except if they themselves are blocked from passing on their things to their kids).

Same reason that merchants were distrusted, since there was no concept of economics that would allow them to understand that in fact trading and arbitrage is actually valuable contribution for the market to properly price goods, and is a much better way to price things than gut feelings about "sentimental value" or the labor theory. But this was not well understood so making money through trade was seen as witchcraft. How come he can come to the village and buy our pig for X and then go sell it for X+Y in the city? I mean that's somewhat understandable, the transport etc. Income through interest doesn't even have that. Of course the real value proposition is again a kind of resource allocation cognitive processing. The lender's contribution is in the assessment of prospects of the profitability of a venture. That apparently this is not the case in many consumption credits is indeed some kind of system failure, and some perverse incentives set up by regulations, where somehow the financial companies are not punished by reality for misallocating. See 2008 etc.

Great. So if I interpret this correctly, when companies go out of business (or drop support for product lines), your perfectly functional hardware will now inevitably stop working (or not be installable after you reformat your OS). Welcome another step down the path toward a world where you don't really own your hardware and your vendor dictates how, when and what you can use ("we control the horizontal, we control the vertical").

There are already some great comments in that thread, like this thoughtful one:

While having a well organized and updated driver catalog is undoubtedly a good thing, please spare a thought for curators of vintage PC collections. The Windows Update Driver catalog is a near unrivaled resource on the internet for known good drivers, and is a great source for drivers where the original manufactures have either removed the drivers from their own websites, or they no longer exist.

Personally I always hated the idea of using Windows Update as your warehouse for drivers in the first place. Much better to keep your own collection. (Yes, it takes some work to curate and periodically update).

It depends on the science you're doing as even these small effects add up, there's a project within the LSST science team (which a college is working on) to reduce this scattered light (search for "low surface brightness"), where there's a whole lot of work around modelling and understanding what effect the telescope system on the idealised single point that is a star.

There are projects (dragonfly and huntsman are the ones I know of) which avoid using mirrors and instead use lenses (which have their own issues) to reduce this scattered light.

You are free to disagree.

> Your point about multiplexers etc. apply to anything in the terminal, including bright red text.

You did not read my comment. There is a concept of visual language. I specifically said that text colour (along with background colour, text style, etc.) constitutes the visual language of the terminal.

Bright red text follows general complexity pattern of text, with a distinguishing quality. Let’s call it standout factor x2, maybe x3 if you see in colour and red means danger. An inserted full colour image full of tiny details falls out of it completely, especially compared to Latin. The question of distinguishing qualities does not even make sense. It is text x10000.

Yes, red text in the next pane will also be slightly distracting, but it is nothing like a bunch of images sprinkled around my buffer.

It really doesn’t. The Federal Reserve’s gold vault is in New York, not Fort Knox, and it’s separate from the U.S. Treasury’s holdings. This thread started about foreign gold held at the Fed, Germany and Italy’s reserves, not U.S. sovereign gold in Kentucky. Mixing those up is like arguing about your neighbor’s bank account while waving around your mattress stash. Different institutions, different controls, different issues.

Or while you are at it provide some evidence to your conspiracy theory.

This research fundamentally reframes our understanding of memory. The practical implications for medicine are huge. Think about wound healing, immune responses (the article mentions this), or even how tissues age. If cells "remember" past injuries, stresses, or infections on a molecular level, it could open up entirely new therapeutic pathways for regenerative medicine or treating chronic conditions.

It also makes you wonder about the boundary of cognition. If your skin cells hold memories of sun exposure, are they, in a very small way, part of your cognitive system? It's a fascinating and slightly unsettling thought.

> Generally, science is not built on trusting others, it's built on being skeptical.

It is actually built on probability.

That is the most important thing missing from a lot of discourse, imho. Modeling reality is a lot of "this is very probably true/false" rather than "this is true/false", but everyday communication is almost exclusively in the latter form.

Authority/expert status is just a heuristic used to guess the probability of what is presented by that authority, but proper communication about what is presented should include indications of that probability. This is however so uncommon that almost everybody thinks of ideas in a binary way, leading to distrust, tribalism and antagonism.

Compare "eggs are bad for you" with "eggs are probably bad for you". If a year later the same authority states the opposite trust disappears rapidly if it was stated as absolutely as in the former case. A lot of overly confident communication by authorities in the Covid-19 days in an effort to improve compliance caused massive distrust, I'm sure.

Something to try in your own life is to include probabilities when you state something. How sure are you of what you're saying? Having to think about this quickly leads to the intellectual humility you mention. It also antagonizes people less, because you're inevitably going to leave more room for opposing views.

To play devil's advocate, I think there is some merit to their point. A common criticism against modern academia is that so much of the low hanging fruit has been addressed, that to be an expert working on the actual frontier means your "leaf node" of focus/progress is so so specific, that it's not at all uncommon to be somewhat blinded to the broader consensus/lower resolution version of the greater tree of knowledge.

The experts of the kind to which you're presumably referring, who are much more tapped in to the whole state of a broad branch of knowledge, often end up being more "science communicators" than people on the frontier of research. The thing is, though, that these "science communicators" often end up being (or start off being) more akin to a papers/Wikipedia jockey than a credentialed academic actively working in the field. So in that sense, someone who "knows a lot about dinosaurs and can effectively write about them as the broader field currently perceives them" need not necessarily be a credentialed expert.

uv is generally more secure than pip. It resolves dependencies without executing arbitrary code, verifies package hashes by default, and avoids common risks like typosquatting and code execution during install. It's also faster and more reproducible.
