The absence of such techniques is usually due to prioritization rather than ignorance. Most of the time the challenge is just the sheer complexity of basic decisionmaking. The author of this article did a frame-by-frame breakdown of unit attack animation timings, but "should I fight or run" is by itself still an interesting and important question.

The #1 bot as I write this, Iron Bot, has Vulture micro that is in many ways better than any pro, by using frame-perfect patrol kiting.
I love Elon as much as the next guy. I think SpaceX, Tesla, OpenAI and even Neuralink are great companies tackling meaningful problems and wish them the best.

The Boring Company however, yeah, he messed this one up.

HN is full of Elon fanboys. I'm one myself. The die hard, willing to say "the world is flat" fanboys are out here defending him. Look, I like Elon. But the sane fanboys are trying to save Elon a lot of headache by not pursuing this venture.
I think you mean "double plus good" or "Debugs Loud Loop"!
So you blindly accept the magical exploding grapefruit theory of the universe? It's easy to mock anyone's views. Doesn't make it right.

It's quite possible they could reduce the cost if they found a way to pipe the excavated rock into surrounding regions of less dense rock, through pipes drilled at intervals along the tunnel. Meaning the excavated rock never needs to go up to the surface, it can just be digested and fed as a slurry into neighbouring areas.
Nothing. It's only collective action that will solve anything, and whatever culture that pops up will get a near equal reaction from the other side. The US is trending to splitting down the middle on everything, just like our political system, a fact which is sadly getting more entrenched every day. Only thing I can think of is find a way to support independent local government officials and slowly kill the bipartisan system.
That's really fun, thanks! Makes me want to write a solver...
That's just ridiculous. So much of taking advantage is in the context of apparent consent. Confidence games, for example. Abusive relationships are by and large consensual. Shitty bosses take advantage of workers all the time, even those those workers are there voluntarily.
Engineers skew rational. They know that most ideas won't work. It's like aspiring actors or singers. Statistically, any given aspiring actors or singers won't become famous. The existence of Tom Cruise or Taylor Swift doesn't change that. Think about the dozen articles you read every day about some promising lab result or prototype that. How many of them do you ever hear about again?

Meat-space engineering is hard. I'm an early '90s kid who grew up hearing about how we're going to put people on Mars by 2020.[1] I got a degree in aerospace because of that! Then I realized that physics hates you most of the field is about eking out 1% more fuel economy every decade so United can turn a slight profit. Even Space X is more interesting from a business model point of view than an engineering point of view. It's like someone figured out how to make a $10 iPhone 3g in 2017. Neat, I guess.

[1] Almost everything pop science said would happen was a lie. Moon bases, NYC-London flights, flying cars, etc. Outside of computers and pharma, technology has progressed at a glacial pace over the last 40 years. If you transported someone from 1890 to 1950, planes, international calls, etc. would blow their minds. If you transported someone from 1950 to 2010, I think that they'd frankly be disappointed.
The second paragraph tries to explain what this device is supposed to do or what real problems it solves. Again, how keeping a collection of 'signals' helps with privacy?

So does my iPhone "yell" those wifi names? How and what exactly does it yell?

Won't this linger device make me a unique and traceable fingerprint? Is this about privacy?
Hi, I am going to offer my opinion on how to fight ignorance for the purpose of inciting climate action. I will start by saying that my only qualifications are that I have thought about this since I was 13 years old.

You can't fight the ignorance of the masses. Simply put, people don't have a real reason to care about the visibility of climate science. People all around the world are constantly struggling with the hierarchy of needs, and the invisible threat of climate-change-induced extinction is not something you can get people to care about. This is a tautology and will be one until the climate starts killing swaths of people, which may take decades to set in.

Therefore, the people and the ignorance are the wrong thing to focus on. If you convince one person, there are going to be ten more people born in that time of such low socioeconomic status that your arguments that convinced the one will fall on deaf ears for the other ten. What you must focus on is making climate-friendly actions profitable and desirable. I am going to leave a link to a comment I made previously if you like what I'm saying so far.

Basically, forget people. They are not going to care, and even if you convince all Americans, how will you convince China, India, Africa, etc? The answer is that you won't. I repeat, forget about the people.

Here[1] is my old comment that discusses this in greater detail. Also, feel free to reply with some strawman rebuttal of this; you won't get the satisfaction of a reply from me, I've seen way too much negativity on this site (see the comments of the boring company video) to possibly care about contributing to some argument with reality-detached software engineers.

This is book burning of the 21st century.
No worries, I do appreciate the feedback.

I definitely should have made the intended perspective clearer than I did.
> : is this new solution more efficient than the current alternative of driving on the highway?

No.

Because - the exurbs and beyond simply don't have the density numbers to make this kind of investment pencil out without something like a 1000x class drop in costs, which would be wildly optimistic for physical equipment cost savings. Some suburbs might be able to handle it; Bellevue in the Puget Sound comes to mind immediately, but it's only a suburb in the context of Seattle; it'd be a major city in its own right in most of the US.

Further, you're not even getting to the fun part of driving a car - the wind, the sights, the open road. You've got a dang tunnel there. I'd get mildly claustrophobic and probably nauseous: subways already do that to me a little bit.

It's probably much more effective public policy at the federal level to focus on densifying American cities and reversing sprawl: this generates a nice sequence of network effects related to funding and infrastructural improvements. Among those would, eventually, be the demand for nice buses and nice trains with a regular security presence.
Honestly, the only thing I can think of is to spend money out of your district or state.
Same as democracies everywhere. Organize and vote out the reps in the next elections. Americans are unique in how frequently you get opportunities to vote out leaders (2 years for Congress and 4 years for president) but you rarely do.
> And unethical people tend to follow ethical guidelines?

This is a false dichotomy. Some people are deeply unethical. Some people are deeply ethical. Most people are just getting along in their lives and can be pushed in either direction by the practical and social context. Codes of ethics are helpful for everybody except the ardently unethical.
This is true for x86-based desktops Qubes targets. You might get past this if you can tolerate a console-like experience with lower-risk hardware. One example is where the state is read-only without physical modification of the machine such as changing a jumper or flipping a switch. Alternatively a combo of ROM and flash where the ROM is immutable but loads signed flash with a correct-by-construction, heavily-pentested module. Apply to various chips in the design. Read-only memory for firmware protection dates back to a mainframe in the 1970's where you had to physically pull old one out and put new one in. OS was built on top of the "Nucleus" API in that for consistency. Microsoft mostly copied that in VerveOS's Nucleus but minus read-only firmware.

An old trick that researchers and implementors should breath more life into. The hardware companies like the more mutable storage for financial reasons. Customers aren't big on replacing hardware but security-focused ones might go with pluggable ROM's long as ROM's aren't changed often. Hence, correct-by-construction approaches that cause few to no defects.
There are websites such as https://www.datarefuge.org/ (Building refuge for federal climate & environmental data) which have archived the data. Sad nevertheless.

There are also files on archive.org, but I feel they are harder to find and browse. E.g. https://archive.org/details/ClimateChangeUSEPA or https://archive.org/details/perma_cc_JTL9-NV3L
Seems like a pretty straightforward 'no', given what Tolkien said about it himself:

Quoted in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Speech

"The Black Speech was not intentionally modeled on any style, but was meant to be self consistent, very different from Elvish, yet organized and expressive, as would be expected of a device of Sauron before his complete corruption. It was evidently an agglutinative language."

Turkish is agglutinative but so are zillions of other unrelated languages. Zillions of languages might have a 'uruk'-like word in them.
Outside of work hours, as long as it doesn't compete it's yours.
From your description, it sounds like you're lacking a certain amount of discipline. You mention things you know you should be doing that you're not ("i rarely take the time to lern something in depth", "whenever i sit down i just keep reusing what i know").

I also think that having high standards is important if you want to keep improving.

So they're two general areas I'd suggest working on.
Build a dome. Don't invite these people into the dome. Watch them cook, drown, or freeze upon retirement (if you have the luxury of retiring).
You're so sure Ancient Greeks were categorically wrong, in their behavior towards individuals modern society would consider underage?

Hmmm, something tells me that their era was profoundly different in serious ways that aren't captured in recorded evidence that is available to us.

Before you even get to social interaction among peers, simply weather, disease, medicine, wild animals and poverty were all probably profound dangers to everyone across the face of the earth.

Nevermind literacy, and writing, just imagine how many normal human beings were completely feral, or mute, or inacapable of communicating verbally, for a wide range of reasons, including growing up in isolated wilderness and simply never learning organized speech, as part of a formal language.

Anyone who might help another person by sharing food and staying warm was probably of marginal pratical use, until the next period of hard times, either because of the random of marauders or nature taking its course.

I'm pretty sure healthy people who you could hold a conversation with were in short enough supply that once familiar, everyone made quick use of any luxuries available. No books or formal education, meant bootstrapping these things as new ideas which had no generational inertia, which means probably very nearly everything for most societies was very comfortably (or not comfortably at all) based on oral traditions.

Also people fucking died. Early. Lots of people's teeth were probably gone by 25. Blindness in an eye or both was probably kind of a little bit normal by 30 for many.

So, age was probably a different thing back then. In places where misery is coming from all directions, I'll allow for degrees of moral relativism. Especially for any period pre-dating the emergent modernity of ancient Rome. Any nomadic society that can't exactly distinguish diseases from curses and witchcraft, or even weather and plagues from punishing deities, kind of gets a hall pass.
There are fusion reactors that are 5 cm diameter. Total size less than a microwave. They're very useful but not energy-positive, though there are reports of one that was Q=0.2, which given that that one was fridge sized was pretty good. They're the only practical way we have of producing fast neutrons.

They are critical in physics research, some medical treatments, fusion research, ... their is absolutely no even remotely practical alternative to them (they're microwave sized devices, using 4-10kw of power that replace synchotrons. Small synchotrons are basketball-field sized and need their own power station) (replace should be taken with a grain of salt since most places that have IEC fusors had no way in hell to afford a synchotron, so they are democratizing fast neutrons. Okay, that's perhaps a strong word but if you have a use for them, there's no reason why you couldn't operate one of these devices in any regular office)

(ps: given how easy, hard to detect, and deadly mistakes with fast neutrons are, please do do it in an office building at least 100m away from me. As it stands though, they're completely unregulated)

The reason we scale up is roughly:

1) Scaling laws work in favor of Q. Q should scale with something like the 3rd power of the size of the reactor. So it's much easier to build a huge Q>1 reactor.

2) Where to stick parts ? Fusion reactors require strong magnetic fields and the only real way we knew of doing that 20 years ago when these were designed was cyronically frozen. That means we need sections inside the reactor for superconductors, for crygenic cooling equipment (mostly piping).

Even disregarding that, fast neutrons will destroy any material they touch, making it brittle and crumble. Aside from bigger reactors making sure more material can get destroyed without failure, one thing that they interact with well is large volumes of water. So if at all possible, we'd like large volumes of water inside the reactor too (for other reasons too, like one strategy for extracting power). That needs space, obviously.

3) It is much easier to keep things stable if their scale is larger. There is more reaction time for the control equipment, the fields involved are larger and move slower, ...
That was a joke. Some people would laugh. Others down vote.

They sure do have a long way to go. That's what makes it exciting! Real time strategy games are the last frontier for human superiority in competitive games, and it looks to be a generational gap like Chess or Go.

He describes that the visualizations are generated by logging the relevant events from a running program, so I'm not sure what you mean by extending it to render based on the "actual runtime of a real program".
But you can score if you take the right shot.

Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN? We're trying to do a bit better than this here.
What? Are you serious??? If it's true then in US you are getting ripped off big time.
The whole crossrail project is 73 miles with 14 miles of tunnels and 40 station and it has a cost of 15B£ (19B$ with today exchange rate).
I cannot find the total cost of the tunnels, but apparently for 1.25B£ you can have 18km of tunnels: http://www.crossrail.co.uk/news/articles/crossrail-awards-ma...
That is 1.6B$ for 11 miles. Basically an order of magnitude less than your figure of 1B$ per mile.
If really Musk wants to improve by an order of magnitude over that figure then he is late, the crossrail tunnel have been completed 2 years ago.
I would love to see a cheap tunnelling technology in the US. Musk certainly has experience dropping the costs of technology, and I would guess that a well designed private subway system might be profitable after a time in some US cities. Would. Love. It.
I have for the longest time wanted to filter npm-search results by shared dependencies or licenses. Package management could be so much better.
>Further, you're not even getting to the fun part of driving a car - the wind, the sights, the open road. You've got a dang tunnel there. I'd get mildly claustrophobic and probably nauseous: subways already do that to me a little bit.

I sure do love the wind, the sights, the open road of stop and go traffic every day.

I dislike this sort of miscasting of what I just said. I'm a very strong proponent of free speech and the right of anyone to say anything. But with my support for free speech comes a commitment to try to be considered and careful in what I personally say and I'm encouraging others to do the same in this particular context. You can take it or leave it and of course you can go on calling him foolish if you like. Musk doesn't probably care a whole lot and in the end, I would say that the negativity simply reflects back on you.

Provided you have a mix of immigration from a variety of cultures, and be careful of arising dominance.

I am of the opinion that the west coast of Canada will effectively be a Chinese colony "soon", and the rest of Canada will follow (not officially, of course), simply due to their growing economic dominance, in Canada and in general.

On the bright side, I suppose there are many far worse countries to be colonized by.

The crossrail is the biggest construction project in the whole Europe, and it is still not finished and they are already planning for the crossrail 2 that will be started in the next 3-4 years.
These are huge projects, much more important than Musk proposal that in London would have been simply ridiculous given that the crossrail alone will move 200 million people per year.
If they went for the proposal discussed here instead London congestion would have exploded given the abismally low capacity of this boring company project.
I don't really get the point of this comment. I'm also early 90's and I'm wondering why you're not more heavily for or against either side. You're living in an insanely fast paced world where, in 50 years, we will either be dead and roasted in Earth-Venus, or we will have carbon sequestration figured out and be on Mars. We need engineers to get option two, and you being neutral increases the chances of Earth-Venus.

How about work in big pharma for 3 years then try to leave a do a startup when you have training, knowledge, some cash and the like?
Regarding this "other side."

Isn't there an asymmetry here?

I mean, aren't the people who see climate change as a DEFCON 1 emergency way more motivated to support environmental causes than the... um people who think it's a hoax are to oppose it?

Are there people (not oligarchs) who really oppose environmental causes? Or isn't it just bundled up with all of the GOP's other value propositions? And the constituents just include it because tribalism?

edit: my point is that it's us versus the oligarchs. This is not something like guns or abortion or hell even fiscal policy where individuals are going to dig in their heels. This issue is less partisan in that respect. I don't think it's a big deal to the right beyond being a part of their caricature of the left. Sure, some have bought the narrative that the economics are somehow bad for US. But that's a weak and indirect point, and one that just isn't going to activate grassroots opposition.

I for one will often (and usually naturally) befriend the most talented developers I work with. Talking code often and bouncing ideas off of them will really help you see where you're lacking or where you can improve.

Learning new languages and different paradigms can also play a huge role in how you approach future problems. Go to glot.io and play around with a handful of languages you've never touched.

Read up on various best practices and style guides. Read blogs on architecture, design patterns, etc. I read probably 5-10 hacker news articles daily, but I also watch many videos on youtube such as pretty much anything by Martin Fowler, Rob Pike or any of the other greats.

Code stuff outside of your comfort zone. If you're a web developer, try writing some games. If you're a game developer, write a web server or a blazing fast load balancer that handles TCP/UDP sockets and HTTP. I code random shit all of the time just to gain some exposure even if I'm never likely to do related work in the future. I probably have a few dozen Go programs I've developed just because I was curious how something worked.

I've been programming for over 17 years starting with C++ when I was 13. Over the years, I've developed stuff in C/C++, Python, Ruby, Lua, C#, Java, JS, TypeScript, SQL, Dart and Go for the past 3 years. Each language has given me new insights in how to tackle problems that knowing say just C++ alone would not have lead me to.

TLDR: Exposure!!, Books, Blogs and LOTS of bouncing ideas off of other developers.
