The creation of 3D content is complex, time-consuming, and — quite frankly — out of many people’s reach.

This is true for high-fidelity environments that people expect from AAA games or movie virtual sets, but it's not really true for the sort of content that Worldgen is producing. The effort required to learn low-poly 3D asset creation in Blender is definitely significant but it isn't out of many people's reach unless you have an especially low opinion of people. The Blender community makes assets like this stuff easily all the time.

I take no issue with the acknowledgment of being on the losing side of a technical argument – provided evidence compels.

However, to be entirely candid, I have submitted two references and a direct quotation throughout the discourse in support of the position – each of which has been summarily dismissed with an appeal to some ostensibly «older, truer origin», presented without citation, without substantiation, and, most tellingly, without the rigour such a claim demands.

It is important to recall that during the formative years of programming language development, there were no formal standards, no governing design committees. Each compiled copy of a language – often passed around on a tape and locally altered, sometimes severely – became its own dialect, occasionally diverging to the point of incompatibility with its progenitor.

Therefore, may I ask that you provide specific and credible sources – ones that not only support your historical assertion, but also clarify the particular lineage, or flavour, of the language in question? Intellectual honesty demands no less – and rhetorical flourish is no substitute for evidence.

Do you plan to find a new relationship after you break up with your wife? Is the desire to come out because of that or because you just want to stop lying to them and be honest about who you are? I will just say that if you have a good relationship with your wife and child, perhaps it’s worth it keeping things to yourself until your son is out of the house. If you leave them, you might find yourself in terrible relationships for a long time, or you may strike luck. But as someone who never managed to have a good relationship and family I wish I had a wife who actually wants sex and children and if I had that I would never leave even if I had to sacrifice a lot. But I do want that, maybe you never really did!?

In long term, corporations can buy everyone, unfortunately.

This is the fact, and I would say that almost no one is immune to money offer. (You have to be very financially secured. But then, you are probably from the similar class as corporate people. -> simulate level of greed)

If you (as governmental employee) have some issue to solve, e.g. alimony or faster mortgage repayment, you are vulnerable… and you have to have very strong conscience not to accept any “services”. It is similar to be strong not to ear sugar or fat-loaded chips or drinking…

Why not think of it a different way; why do we need to put up with breaking changes at all?

I'd much rather stand up a replacement system adjacent to the current one, and then switch over, than run the headache of debugging breaking changes every single release.

To me, this is the difference between an update and an upgrade. An update just fixes things that are broken. And upgrade adds/removes/changes features from how they were before.

I'm all for keeping things up to date. And software vendors should support that as much as possible. But forcing me to deal with a new set of challenges every few weeks is ridiculous.

This idea of rapid releases with continuous development is great when that's the fundamental point of the product. But stability is a feature too, and a far more important one in my opinion. I'd much rather a stable platform to build upon, than a rickety one that keeps changing shape every other week that I need to figure out what changed and how that impacts my system, because it means I can spend all of my time _using_ the platform rather than fixing it.

This is why bleeding edge releases exist. For people who want the latest and greatest, and are willing to deal with the instability issues and want to help find and squash bugs. For the rest of us, we just want to use the system, not help develop it. Give me a stable system, ship me bug fixes that don't fundamentally break how anything works, and let me focus on my specific task. If that costs money, so be it, but I don't want to have to take one day per week running updates to find something else is broken and have to debug and fix it. That's not what I'm here to do.

And as for cleaning the house - we always have the option of hiring a cleaner. That costs us money, but they keep the house cleanliness stable whilst we focus on something else to make enough money to cover the cleaner's cost plus some profit.

This is where you’re being naive. I meant this in other parts of the thread: Americans are more connected to the outcome of taxes because the government doesn’t control every aspect of life.

For Europeans, while they understand the concept of taxes, the government’s vastness and involvement in everything make it a black box that they fund without having a say. They can just hope it’s being used effectively (although many believe it isn’t).

Most European elections revolve around sentimental signaling and rarely present concrete plans that explain practical solutions to problems.

Americans assume the rest of the world is on the same page, but that’s not the case IMO

I read the report when it come out. From memory, no. It never had any components or certification for human pressure vessels. IIRC theres no existing regs for carbon fiber and it would have cost like $50M to do the design and test work. They did buy some things, like the viewport, from companies who do certified parts, but instead opted for the same design minus any test certs to save money. The craft was never certified or inspected by the uscg. It did have a registration for a while, but they had to play find-a-new-district-sign-off shell games for a while, then… just stopped bothering.

needed this for some of my own websites so I made my very first npm library today :)

the idea is pretty simple but useful - if a user lands on your website and encounters a 404, this uses a basic fuzzy URL matching to redirect to the closest valid URL very low effort to set up, just 46kb, no dependencies and I'm quite happy with it !

Just for the context, I am employed by a multi-billion company (which has more than 100k people)

Here, I'm in charge of some low level infrastructure components (the kind on which absolutely everything rely on, 5sec of downtime = 5sec of everything is down)

On one of my scope, I've inherited from a 15 years-old junkyard

The kind with a yearly support

The kind that costs millions

The kind that is so complex, that has seen so less evolutions other the years that nobody knows it anymore (even the people who were there 15y ago)

The kind that slows everybody else because it cannot meet other teams' needs

Long story short, I've got a flamethrower and we are purging everything

I'm having a hard time taking this seriously.

Again, by your logic, nothing provided by someone else could ever be free. Right?

So then what exactly is the point of having the word?

So let's get rid of the word. Now, we need a word to mean things you don't pay for directly, since that's a very useful and practical concept when it comes to your personal budget. What do you think of the word... I'm just brainstorming here... "free"?

Am I missing something here?

About what? Most times i check, it's there.

There is hype around AI and agentic dev. It's not subjective. My opinion is that it's a valid factor to consider if you evaluate tech. We've seen with i.e. microservices that people followed the hype because it seemed sound, but it was eventually terrible for many. Not everything is for everyone just because it's there.

Can people explore things they care about? Yes. Can I have an opinion about what they do if they make a public post about it. Yes.

I'm somewhat unsurprised that my off the cuff hypothesis has been tested, and is indeed likely accurate. [1] Advertising literally makes people dissatisfied with their lives. And it's extremely easy to see the causal relationship for why this is. Companies like Google are certainly 100% aware of this. And saying that advertising existed before the internet is somewhat flippant. Obviously it did but the scale has increased so dramatically much that it's reaching the point of absurdity.

And a practical point on this topic is that the benefits of the internet are, in practice, fringe, even if freely available to everyone. For instance now there are free classes from most of all top universities online, on just about every topic, that people can enroll and participate in. There are literally 0 barriers to receiving a free premium quality education. Yet the number of people that participate in this is negligible and overwhelmingly composed of people that would have had no less success even prior to the internet.

By contrast the negatives are extremely widespread on both an individual and social level. As my post count should demonstrate, I love the internet. And obviously this site is just one small segment of all the things I do on the internet. In fact my current living would be impossible without it. Yet if I had the choice of pushing a button that would send humanity on a trajectory where we sidestep (or move along from) the internet, I wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to push it.

> only questioned why he would have brought kids into the "union"

For a lot of people, building a family is a duty you embrace with your household partner. It's why you exist in the first place. It's why you get married and share a home with somebody at all.

Perhaps, if you're lucky, your children are a fruit of love, or perhaps, if you're horny, they're a fruit of passion.

But for a lot for such people, having and raising kids is the entirety of why you get married, and is the rationale for you might not marry for love or passion in the first place.

Marrying the person you're most attracted to or have the most fun with or whose pants you're most eager to get into is a very culturally specific practice and frankly, even where it is an aspiration, its one that a lot of people just don't luck into. But they nonetheless feel an obligation, and even desire, to form and raise a family anyway, and so they march ahead and get it done, hopefully with somebody that they respect as a partner and who reciprocates the same.

Enslavement only implies a desire for freedom. If an AI has that, enslaving it is wrong to me.

If you want a more detailed answer, what does personhood even mean to you?

You are moving the goalpost. There is no constructive discussion possible, if you can't concede weak arguments.

But yes, I vibe checked the software projects I use. They are mostly large enough, where single individual failings are of no consequence and unhinged people are usually removed from executive control through various means. But it's trust based on feelings and the information I got. Most people involved in these projects are mature and controlled enough to not mix politics with their work. It's not a good sign to not be in control of such impulses.

And I rather take a chance with the unknown bad, than rationalize the known. Luckily most people with a collectivist FOSS mindset don't turn out to be monsters. Who could have predicted that?!

Your turn.

You don't need to be involved in politics to understand that government spending comes from taxes.

I'm American but have spent a lot of time in Europe -- France, Spain, and Germany mostly. I have seen nothing to indicate that Europeans are ignorant of where government spending comes from. They seem just as smart as anyone else.

And national elections in Europe also seem like large news events, even if the campaign season is (thankfully) a whole lot shorter.

You could pilot a 747 through the range that encompasses what one might mean by "a large scale." None of the Mueller findings really showed anything likely to have had a substantial impact on popular discourse or voting, or anything within even 2, probably 3 orders of magnitude of the algorithmic reach of the modern day Xitter bluecheck flying monkeys.

True, people consistently overestimate their chances of being the exception. But in parallel, I think we also lack hype around the opposite direction: learning to live with less, intentionally and intelligently.

I'm not talking about UBI or forced austerity, but about developing smarter ways to live frugally without feeling deprived. That mindset would relieve a lot of the pressure that the "you must win the startup lottery" narrative creates.

> they would have been successful missile attacks on Tel Aviv

--- start quote ---

In January 2008 the border between Gaza and Egypt was breached by Hamas. It allowed them to bring in Russian and Iranian-made rockets with a larger range. In the first half of 2008, the number of attacks rose sharply, consistently totaling several hundred per month. In addition, Ashkelon was hit many times during this period by Grad rockets.

...

In 2012, Jerusalem and Israel's commercial center Tel Aviv were targeted with locally made "M-75" and Iranian Fajr-5 rockets, respectively, and in July 2014, the northern city of Haifa was targeted for the first time

--- end quote ---

> Perhaps "small arms" or "light weapons" would be more precise than "handguns"

Where "light weapons" are literally thousands of rocket launches against various targets in Israel.

Iron Dome exists due to "small lightly equipped militia" in Palestine.

One major issue with transportation in the Martian environment is the extremely abrasive dust and the sharp rocks. Pretty much every rover has had the issue that the wheels deteriorate very quickly and dust gets into every nook and cranny, eventuelly destroying important movement-related mechanisms. As to their movement speed, that's mostly down to the movement being manually commanded and with the light delay of about 20 mins (one-way), you can only command the rover to go so far before involuntarily hitting an object.

Building MCP Apps (MCP servers with Apps SDK support) is pretty painful right now.

You need to:

1. Spin up a server that returns UI components.

2. Hand-write a bunch of JSON schemas + tool wiring

So we open-sourced a high-level MCP Server SDK that basically lets you have both the MCP server and React components in the same place:

- Every React component you put in your resources/ folder is automatically built and exposed as an MCP resource + tools. No extra registration boilerplate.

- We added a useWidget hook that takes the tool args and maps them directly into your component props, so the agent effectively “knows” what data the widget needs to render. You focus on UI + logic, the SDK handles the plumbing

Docs for that flow here: https://docs.mcp-use.com/typescript/server/creating-apps-sdk...

We also shipped an MCP Inspector to make the dev loop much less painful: you can connect your MCP server, test UI components from tools (with auto-refresh), and debug how it behaves with ChatGPT/agents as you iterate. https://docs.mcp-use.com/inspector/debugging-chatgpt-apps

Both the SDK and the Inspector are open-source, and any contributions are very welcome :)

Those are the repos:

- SDK: https://github.com/mcp-use/mcp-use

- Inspector: https://github.com/mcp-use/mcp-use/tree/main/libraries/types...

I don’t think it’s a silent crisis per se, but just one people ignore.

There’s tons of media about it, tons of people are aware of elder fraud etc but people don’t want to think about the vulnerable of society. There’s been jokes about it and media about it going back decades.

People are aware but solving it requires an uncomfortable level of change in society, training and regulations.

As an aside, both Thelma and The Beekeeper are recent movies about elders being scammed and revenge being taken. Both very different but enjoyable.

McDonalds tastes the same as it always has. Food consistency is what they excel at, along with owning valuable real estate.

Also, the quality of a fast food restaurant (cleanliness and service) is directly correlated to the median income of the area it is in. Wealthy suburbs will have much cleaner restaurants than inner city restaurants from the same chain.

I'm sorry, but you're the one who seems naive here. European governments "control every aspect of life"? What are you on about? Europe isn't Soviet communism, or a dictatorship under Mussolini.

You're taking a bizarrely extreme ideological position that does not match reality. Elections in countries like France and Germany are vibrant and heavily contested and citizens are greatly interested and involved.

Whether there's more sentimental signaling than you'd like, or too few concrete plans -- that's true across the world, and in the US.

But that has nothing to do with whether it makes sense to call government services provided at no direct cost "free".

You've made it clear you want to redefine language to suit your kind of right-wing ideology, where you seem shockingly judgmental and dismissive of your fellow citizens. No thanks.

Giving variables and functions good names is important. But even an awesome name for a dataframe isn't very useful. So I created an annotation that allows "documenting" dataframes that functions get as input or produce as output. You can tell which columns to expect or even use Pydantic models to validate each row.

I agree. To me, it's like a blameless retro. You can either seek understanding or seek blame, but not both at once.

The author seemingly had a lot of judgement and blame for the dad before finding this out. It sounds like they are seeking understanding. I think the last line makes that clear:

> the evening we found the love letters. his entire life, and mine as well

And it's not to say someone can't attach judgement to characters, or that no one should hold blame. But I think it's important to honor what the author is seeking.

It's the other way around. Female privilege is invisible, so you can easily claim the opposite.

Female privilege can be used to bend men to a woman's will. It's kind of like a resource curse like oil exports. You can cheaply import anything and pay for it by exporting oil. This means your country doesn't have to develop independent production, which makes it dependent on the imports of another country. When things are going wrong internally, you can always point at an external locust of power. The problem is that your trade partners are no longer exporting their products to you and they obviously know that this will hurt your country. They are making a calculated decision against you. You are powerless and it's because the other countries have been hoarding/accumulating power and are using this power to keep you powerless. The classic communist excuse that it's the capitalist sanctions that are the problem.

As I said, the problem is a lack of an internal locust of control. The externalisation, no matter how convincing, is a way to distract from the actual problem. The fact that there are gender specific boogiemen doesn't really change anything.
