If you're still willing to work on the game, then you're really still developing it!

You're getting a lot of decent feedback here. Although there's lots of feedback that is more negative than necessary, too. Don't worry too much about that.

Take the good bits of advice, and keep on polishing the game if it still interests you. Even if it didn't become a hit right away, that doesn't mean it's a failure. :)

Heck, even if it never becomes a hit, you made your first game and people are actually playing it. There are lots of games that never achieve even that. And you can take the lessons learned here and apply them to the next game you write.

And for what it's worth, I had fun playing it. It felt sort of like Subspace in tanks.

Some stats on GPUs over time. A cool visualization project on going.
I would have appreciated at least an abstract or synopsis but okay. When I have time I'll read through these articles.

> Ultimately, your "arguments" are refuted with a simple "There's zero reason to be afraid of what you're afraid of".

Yes, I'm sure it's that black and white.
For software intended for regular users, POSIX via WSL isn't a replacement to the Windows API.

In addition to the feature needing to be manually installed, developer-mode must be enabled. WSL leaving beta does not appear to change that.

If the feature was installed by default, and an X server was bundled, it would risk the Windows platform. WSL allows developers to be placated without affecting the business side of the platform.
I bought some glasses on line for the 99 eclipse and didn't have a problem

I'm currently using 2nd gen watch and airpods hoping that my workout experience would be more hands free.

There are couple of things that I find off-putting about the experience and tend to simply stick with airpods + iphone.

1) You only get a few options in terms of what music you put on your phone. You cannot simply select the albums you want, you can choose these options:

* Classical Music

* My Top Rated

* Recently Played

* Top 25 Most Played

* 90's Music

* Playlists

I would much rather upload specific albums instead and find it really annoying that I have to jump through hoops to accomplish that goal.

2) Airpods really struggle to switch between iphone to iwatch. Half of the time they cannot pair correctly. My macbook pro and iphone have no troubles at all pairing but the iwatch seems to struggle a lot.

If those two things do not bother you then go for it. When you have the music you want on the iwatch and the airpods pair correctly, it's a really nice experience especially with exercising.
Well, if your model of company behavior is the Gervais principle (imho a great model) aren't you conceding that it's not a meritocracy?

>>> I'm not even sure what you mean by this. How would a promotion reflect poorly on someone?

For a real life example, I have a friend, let's call him Justin, who's an incredibly efficient engineer, and this is known. But he won't get promoted because of a few obnoxious traits (outed as a Trump supporter, got drunk at the office a few times, liked to place bets on video games at the office).

I don't think his manager will promote him, because he worries if he promotes Justin, then Justin gets fallover drunk and has to be fired, then somehow it'll look like a mistake to have promoted him in the first place... Super-political (i.e. concerned with appearance over reality)
They're still selling them, so they're apparently still being maintained.
Well, that might be true overall. But I am not sure if it makes sense for hiring managers to rely on blanket statements like that.

However, with that being said, I want to be pragmatic. How do I overcome this bias? Also, I am willing to put in the work required to apply to the companies, etc. It'd be great to just find out which companies are even hiring junior engineers?
When I slammed into an oncoming left turning car at 50mph I was not wearing a seatbelt, my Subaru rolled completely over and the front airbag deployed. I left the accident with minor lacerations and no broken bones or major bruising. In 20 years of driving airbag equipped cars this has been my only experience of an airbag deployment. So far I'm a happy customer.
I think we should recognize that SF and Brisbane are not in the same league. Anything Brisbane would build would be a drop in the bucket. SF can potentially add a hundred thousand units --two hundred thousand units, no problem without changing the character from village to full-blown city. 4,00 units more than doubles the pop of Brisbane. If we added 200,000 units to _only_ SF, that would add 25% to their pop. Another 200,000 would add 20% to SJ.

The Problem is SF, Oakland and SJ --localities which can/could build if they wanted to but simply don't.
I don't think ads will work. But you might be right about shame.

I don't know, I'm not an expert on addiction and human psychology. But I have known a few and most of them weren't either.
The question of why you would want to run your server code on Windows (aside from supporting legacy .NET apps) remains. Those same sysadmins can overwrite Windows with a BSD or Linux on those cheap laptops.
> People caught with less than a 10-day supply of a drug

That's a tiny amount. Punishing people that like to buy in larger quantities for convenience seems silly. They should have come up with a another or increased metric to determine who the dealers were.
The concept of an ICO is still somewhat new to me and I'm trying to figure out how Mayweather is so sure he is going to make money on this offering. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the simplest terms:

I'm assuming Mayweather is not an owner of STOX, just a 3rd party participant in the offering. His plan would be to attempt to corner the market on STOX tokens on release and then pray to Cthulhu that demand for the tokens outpaces supply, triggering a rise in price. He then starts to sell his tokens, taking advantage of good old fashioned price arbitrage (which he himself was trying to influence). Does this sound about right?
The point is whether we should be complacent and dismiss concerns just because we don't know when it will happen.

Once someone builds it, stopping it might be very difficult. Here's why: https://youtu.be/4l7Is6vOAOA (less than 9 minutes and very clearly explained).

Dismissing even a 10% chance of possible catastrophic risks is not what we practice in any other domains. Would you dismiss a concern over airplanes that have a 10% or even just a 1% chance of crashing?
Which laptop manufactures have you found to be as reliable and well put together as macbooks? I haven't had too much luck with dells or lenovos.
In what circumstances is it only 10x slower? Random search is totally useless when your environment is stochastic. These algorithms aren't learning sequences of actions, in fact most use a 30 'no op' random start to avoid just that.
You are misunderstanding the point of WSL. It's not about writing software with Linux that users will run with Windows. Rather, it's about writing software on Windows that users will run on Linux.

The target demographic is developers of Linux server software. A lot of those devs today run macOS
In what way if you don't mind me asking?
I would challenge you to power off Amazon's or Google's infrastructure. Because a dangerous AI won't live in a desktop; it will live in a geographically replicated system, across multiple power grids and legal jurisdictions—all of which is possible today. And all these systems have spent untold hours of very smart people's time to ensure they never turn off.
No, it's called insufficient feature engineering. Data leakage is when your test data contaminates your training data.
Surface Book and Surface Laptop are quite good.
You can definitely write to the windows file system from WSL, so long as you don't need admin privileges to do it. I use it at work and 99% of the files I edit are in a windows controlled drive.
Apple Glasses Are Inevitable
Ruby gem output has declined significantly in recent months
According to modulecounts.com Ruby gem output has declined significantly in the last 3 months. For the last 3 years output remained constant at 40 to 50 gems per day but in June it dropped to 33 and the trend seems to have continued with recent output at 27 which is half of its peak of 53 in 2013.
What happened?

Did apple simultaneously fire all of it's hardware team along with it's QA dept? (we know the 2nd one happened).

I love apple, but it feels like they have a CEO who's running it in "latter years" mode. Zero risk, minimize cost everywhere, maximize profit even if it results in absurd cash piles...

This is what you get when bean counters run tech companies.
Well then I don't understand on what basis he's saying "It always feels optimistic and silly. It always feels like spin."

If you tell the honest truth "We may fail, I'm not sure, but it's not the end of the world if this company fails, most do" that doesn't sound like silly spin to me.
If it has a carburetor it isn't mechanically simple.
If your data obeys the naive Bayes assumptions then this model is mathematically optimal. That each word is independently drawn from some distribution conditional on it's class. E.g. if there was an exactly 1% chance any given word in a spam email would be "viagra".

Now obviously real world data doesn't obey these assumptions perfectly. But I don't see how violating the independent features assumption would cause the problem you mention. A longer email does mean the word "viagra" is more likely to occur in a normal email just by random chance. But the model takes that into account by recording the frequency of "viagra" in normal emails and seeing if it's consistent with that.
> Victims are often emotionally warm people with a lot of empathy. Coming to terms with how cold hearted, callous, manipulative, uncaring horribly assholes stalkers really are is an uncomfortable process for such people.

I can only vaguely imagine that. I mean, I'm friendly and empathic enough. But I also have a short temper, and tend toward keeping grudges.

And about stalkers. They aren't necessarily cold hearted, callous, manipulative, and uncaring. Sometimes they're just unconsciously selfish and childish. I know because I've been there. I lusted for a close friend, for years. But she just wasn't interested. And yet, we apparently remained friends through it all. Later, I learned that her thesis adviser was harassing her sexually. And I got that I'd been a jerk, to not see it, and to be another problem for her.

i'm not sure why this guy thinks Floyd would care what he thinks.
It's funny that the article mentions a past Rubin startup that got the timing wrong on the early side - this one seems to be on the late side. Most people have realized by now that most of these smart home gadgets are solutions in search of a problem. They're fun for people like Rubin and myself who like to tinker, hack, and customize, but they don't deliver a compelling value proposition for consumers. Most people simply do not need Internet-connected doorknobs or a ton of cameras all around their property. Household chores take up a lot of time that people would rather spend otherwise, but the IoT smart home industry has addressed virtually none of that. It's the laundry that takes up too much of my time, not getting up to turn on the light switch.
There is a lot of stuff floating around the solar system (asteroids, small moons) that can be mined. We need to automate that process and that of habitat construction, then the Asteroid Belt could hold 7,500 trillion people, if thoroughly reshaped.

"Conservative news, it seems, is considered fake news. Liberals should oppose this dogma before their own news comes under attack."

Sounds to me like they want to max out tax revenue and that's their right. Were you jumping up and down and holding your breath when San Jose built office space and very little housing for exactly the same reason during the first dotcom boom?

All this developer has to do is make building that housing a no-brainer for Brisbane, but I suspect in doing so the profitability plummets or somebody would have already done this, no?
> Reinforcement learning: the study of teaching computers how to beat Atari.

This statement says more about the author and her inability to understand RL than about RL itself. RL doesn't fit fast.ai's "AI is easy" narrative therefore it's not worth doing.
That's not an appeal to authority. The essays themselves are substantive; he didn't say, "Chollet says so, thus it is so."

More importantly there is an element of misuse going on here: the "fallacy fallacy" if you will. Fallacies like ad hominem and appeal to authority are very often mis-cited without substantive refutations. But in the absence of other qualifying data it is absolutely relevant to a dialectic session that you mention authorities in a subject matter. When we talk about things like consensus in sciences (like climate change, for example), that is a valid appeal to authority.

You don't have enough time or expertise to verify specialized information or even qualify its context. At some point you absolutely need to appeal to authority just to be productive. If you can assess data yourself then that's obviously better, but in the absence of that capacity the assertion of various authorities is a valid first heuristic.
Oh, yes. I never really wrote a ton of systemv init scripts, but I wrote enough to always find it kind of a pain.

Writing systemd units by comparison? Heavenly. What really sealed the deal for me was when I needed a service to automatically restart itself if it died. Restart=always, RestartSec=10, done. If it dies, it's back up in 10 seconds.

I wouldn't even know how to do that with an init script, and though of course I could write something out with enough time and patience, how could that be an improvement over two easily-understood lines?
Both the Koch brothers and Bezos are liberals in the broadest sense of the word, in fact Charles Koch considers himself and probably is a classical liberal [1]. They both are both injecting personal bias into politically active ventures, and that is an affront to what democracy should be about. Because of their vast wealth they are able to shape and suppress political discourse in their own favour (I would guess that your and most peoples interests don't align directly with those of a multi-billionaire). Bezos is probably more left leaning than others but that doesn't mean that his politics don't impact people negatively. Do you really believe that Carlos Slim's primary motivator for becoming the largest stake holder in the NYT Co. is to promote coexistence via liberalism?

A lot of people today dismiss realmode as being old and irrelevant for writing OSes, but IMHO the constraints of the environment are not going to be relevant if you're just starting out, and especially if you're working in Asm --- even if you stay within a single segment and ignore segmentation etc., you're "limited" to "only" 64KB of RAM, but that's already quite plenty to experiement with; keep in mind that the original Unix, complete with shell, utilities, kernel, etc., ran on a PDP-11 with a 64KB total address space.

I used to teach an Asm course, and a lot of my students were wondering why we started with 16-bit, single-segment DOS COM programs --- being used to multi-KB or MB apps that don't do much, they thought it'd be impossible; and yet came away with a completely new perspective on how far away that 64KB limit seems, even if you're writing moderately complex programs.
Just wait 6 months or so after release....
I guess that's a fair enough explanation of the original question being downvoted.

However that same logic couldn't really justify the downvoting of my follow-up "could anybody who downvoted this please explain why?"
I have read a number of Rorty's books, and he is strangely contradictory. On the one hand, he strongly supports democracy and the whole modern project. On the other hand, his essay The Contingency of the Self in Contingency, Irony and Solidarity presents a very Nietzschean view of the self as a nothing that can be made into something only by creating by telling myths that fool others into thinking you know something important.

As for the claim that democracy is based on the idea there is no objective truth, and instead we create it through conversation, that is certainly not what the American founding fathers thought.
lol. Well I stand corrected. Now I feel silly. I'll give it a second look.
We can make "profit maximization" the main goal of several very smart humans, though that does require quite a lot of programming.

I haven't been using ebay much anymore, except for some tech related stuff mostly because it's flooded with overseas sellers or domestic sellers sourcing products from overseas. Not that I have anything against it but most of the time I don't want to wait weeks for something to get delivered with open ended delivery dates or deal with trying to return something overseas.
I think the parts of the business are a threat not the whole. I would think Amazon can be a pretty big threat to Google in advertising and cloud and to UPS in logistics and of course Walmart in retail.
I agree with everything you said. However, I don't agree it's what should be hogging the money and interest right now. The impact of AI on employment (and therefore societal stability) is a much more pressing problem. As is the misuse of AI by people in many areas.

If society can get through these issues, then we may get to the point where the existential threat of superhuman AI is of most immediate concern.

Either way, we're not arguing that this issue deserves no time and attention at all. But currently it's the first (and often only) thing I'm asked about when I give talks about the future implications of AI, and it's receiving huge amounts of funding. Elon Musk, when he had the opportunity of addressing some of America's most powerful people, elected to spend his precious time discussing this issue, rather than anything else.
You are imagining super intelligent malicious AI (or AI piloted by malicious actors) with orders of magnitude more resources and reach than we have today is instantaneously implanted into today's society. That is also not relevant to the future implications of AI, because as AI evolves so will humanity. If you demand how exactly this will come about, then I will first require you to explain exactly how superintelligent AI will come about. The same answer is equally applicable and useless for both sides: "I don't know, but it definitely will."

You're also ignoring basic ideas that can defeat the apocalyptic problems you suggest. For example, "fake news" in the sense that you propose (adversaries generating synthesized videos and audio indistinguishable from reality) can be trivially defeated by cryptographic signatures. No matter how good a deep net gets, it won't beat cryptographic hardness. No chaos will ensue when major web browsers verify videos of the president signed with an official government public key, the same way they verify websites with CA's today. In fact, "fake news" today is a completely different problem, that people accept the source is legit (CNN did indeed publish an article about so and so who said X, and they did actually say X), but rather that they disagree with the meaning assigned to those facts.

You also ignore that one already has the capability to ruin a specific person's life via digital means today, without AI, just with enough dedicated time and money. Why bother with (expensive) superhuman AI targeting dissidents under an oppressive regime when instead, as most successful oppressive regimes today do, you can just lock them up or burn their house down?

In my humble opinion, if you find yourself in a situation where people don't want to present you with arguments to what you feel is logically bullet-proof reasoning, and that people are "just being dismissive," the issue is probably you, not them. Rather than bite back, the most useful approach is to reconsider your ideas. Attack them as critically as you attack the ideas of others. You may surprise yourself with what you find.

Damn. This is OneDrive personal, not Business? You said work so if it's OneDrive for business that isn't really OneDrive. It's just their enterprise stuff with OneDrive as the name. Like Skype business or whatever they call that.

Normal OneDrive which is what comes with the $80/year/5 people Office 365 isn't perfect. A few issues/features that they should have finished by now, but I'd be really surprised if regular OneDrive was causing those amt of issues.

Switching Careers Doesn’t Have to Be Hard: Charting Similar Jobs
Yes it's syntactic sugar and for me personally harder to read but YMMV.
When I went through this process a while ago I found that large companies are very receptive to hiring new grads. In addition to that I'd try the "standard" advice:

1. Check the monthly hiring threads here.

2. Try the standard job searching sites.

3. Ask your network about opportunities.

Perhaps most importantly, ask your school. They almost certainly have resources you can use. At the very least, your alumni network might be of some use.

Good luck!
