There are 2 pieces to developing a game:

- Developing the game assets (2D/3D models, sounds, animations etc etc). Each in itself a role in production; however no harm in learning how to do at least a few. I will strong suggest starting with Blender (it's free and great) and use CG Masters courses.

The other piece is bring your assets live through code. Again this has different roles:

- Gameplay programmer, Graphics Tools Programmer etc.

Here you have the option to learn from ground up or just learn the tools and API's (Unity, Unreal etc). Ground up route is arduous but greatly beneficial as is anything when you derive from almost first principles. For this I would say:

- Write an animation loader which can read skeletal animation and play it

- Write a mini game engine which supports animation, physics and sound.

I have not listed the mandatory: GL, Vulkans, Metals, and DXes of the world to be learnt.

As listed in the other thread, what route you choose will heavily depend on your end goal. I would say though from personal experience, just learning to write games on the side is not only fun but also makes you a better programmer, the better part may not happen when you work on a real game though there are exceptions.

If you type something in the bar it doesn't matter what it shows.

If you copy the URL, the fact that what you copy is literally different than what you're looking at is confusing. You copied "example.com", so why does the clipboard now contain "http://www.example.com/"?

> If we can get to a world where she can see an unfakeable padlock and read ‘facebook.com’, rather than remember whether it was ‘https:’ or ‘https.’ in the URL bar, and which parts of the string of letters to skip, we've made her life less hostile.

Whether the URL bar shows "https" or a padlock has nothing at all to do with the unnecessary confusion inherent in Chrome requiring a second click on the URL bar to reveal the full URL.

Nothing in your comment even begins to explain the benefit in presenting a fully-editable text field that allegedly shows the URL, except it's still hiding information that is only revealed once you try and perform another text editing action. If someone looks at the URL bar and sees "example.com", and they click on it and it immediately turns into "https://www.example.com", that doesn't harm them in any way. In fact, that's exactly how mobile browsers such as iOS Safari have worked for years and nobody's complained. Chrome is deliberately doing something different than all precedent and there's no obvious reason for this beyond their desire to be unique.

The regime has at least six thousand full-time hackers. Some of those they send overseas to operate. The average North Korean doesn't get exposed to that much tech, but it's another story for specialists, and most of the things they need to learn can be found online. Of course learning materials will be curated and filtered by the most politically trustworthy who themselves will be under constant and multidimensional surveillance.

There are abundant sources online.

"I'm honestly shocked that business travelers want to stay in AirBnBs."

"it almost always makes more sense"

"most of the time"

"if the hotels are outrageously expensive for whatever reason."

I don't understand how you can be so shocked when you, yourself, already listed the reasons why people wouldn't want to stay at a hotel.

Because for all the time where it doesn't "almost always makes more sense".

I remember one time where I traveled to a big city for a couple of days and had the unfortunate experience to find out there was a big conference during the week and the prices of hotels have increased dramatically (making it non affordable for almost all human being)

Airbnb can be a superior offer in that case. You will not witness the same degree of price discrepancy between the price of airbnb room and a hotel room (a hotel room price can change to 4x its normal price in case of special event in a city).
My point is rather that those are things CV would have problems with that Lidar disambiguate.

And yes there are conditions where neither work well, and frankly where humans barely function either. Much of driving in heavy fog / heavy snowing is really a leap of faith at low speed.
I can't tell if this is JetBrains trying to develop its own version of Microsoft Research, or if this is the humble beginnings of a project like Kotlin that it aims to put its weight behind. Both would be cool (and indeed it could be both), but the latter would be truly exciting and a potentially a huge leap forward for theorem proving and formal verification.

What are the opportunity costs though? At the extreme you could have 100% of your citizenry building houses, you can't then grow food, or build cars, etc, etc.

Second, unless your economy is completely cut off from the outside world you're going to get leakage away. The builder you're paying to build houses is eventually going to want to show off his wealth by buying an iphone, or some champagne, or a Ferrari.

To look at a more practical example lets look at the wood industry, and lets say that Australia's wood industry is already large enough to actually absorb this increase. The wood industry has the option of selling around the world, but this development has to buy from you. So you can sell them all the rubbish stuff that can't be sold internationally. So what then? The government doesn't want shoddy Australian houses being built so restricts exports of wood. But now the supply of wood products doesn't really match the supply and you've got teak being made into OSB, and your houses are made with high quality Australian wood, but your wood industry has gone down the toilet because the prices paid for OSB are nowhere near the prices paid for solid lumps of teak.

Trade is good. It makes everyone on balance better off, what you propose is cutting off trade from the rest of the world, it's never going to end well.
So self driving cars are basically going to be really expensive for the first while as the sensors take time to reduce in price plus the computer in the back and less distance from the battery.

Sounds like a reasonable trade off. No one needs to own these cars just rent them on demand. Plus some wealthy people in the early adoption curve.
a) rocket should have huge positive buoyancy

b) you just have to size them right for the rocket mass and terminal velocity with a parachute

c) definitely, but propulsive landing also does not come with fuel as the only mass penalty. You also have to add mass of heavy hydraulics and sensors into consideration.

Some patient record programs already allow control structures in the digital forms. Basic stuff like if(X) then show options Y or page Y - you get the point. I think I saw a goto type item last I checked, which was a little bit ago.

As offices go digital, some are doing it right and recreating the forms in the signing application. Other, lazier firms, have you fill out a scan (gag me with a spoon.)

The idea of a loop is a funny one, I wonder if anything checks for it?
I've seen in happen, particularly when switching between devices (there are times when this means I'm switching network completely, not just between devices on the same LAN) so I've assumed it is an artifact of "eventually consistency" between Facebook's many clusters and frontend nodes.
If all you use is words, it is of course easy to omit that the spatial resolution of radar is barely enough to tell there are one or or two vehicle sized objects in front of you, maybe one to the side, and they better be moving.

To compare it to LIDAR is ludicrous.
What's the performance hit on this one?

Thanks. The only lemma in that repo is the following (in Cat.ard):

\lemma op_is_revertible (C : PreCat) : op (op C) = C =>
path ( \lam i => \new PreCat {
| Ob => C.Ob
| Hom => C.Hom
| id => C.id
| o => C.o
| l_unit => C.l_unit
| r_unit => C.r_unit
| assoc => \lam {a} {b} {c} {d} f g h => (inv_inv (C.assoc f g h) @ i)
}
)

I'm not 100% sure what's going on but it looks like this would be a one-liner in Coq, something like (hand-waving here):

destruct C; auto using assoc, inv_inv.

So... yeah. Not enough data to come to a final conclusion, but I do wonder why people keep building more systems of this kind.
Totally, no other government, especially those cyber superpower countries, would ever do such immoral things.
In physics there is a rich literature documenting its history. And as you mentioned, it is scattered around books, periodicals and scientific journals. A very small selection for you and any people interested:

From Emilio Segre (Nobel Laureate) there is this 2 book series.Recommended.
- From Falling Bodies to Radio Waves [1]
- From X-rays to Quarks [2]

Then, you have Abraham Pais, all his books are highly recommended, I will include 2 here

[3] Subtle is the lord (Best Einstein Scientific Biography)
[4] Inward Bound (Superb Scientific history of XX century physics)

Jagdish Mehra wrote a gargantuan history of Quantum Mechanics in six volumes. He studied and /or interviewed most of the big hitters who developed the theory. The science content is high so you need a good foundation.

[5] The Historical Development of Quantum Theory

Richard Westfall wrote the best Newton biography that I know.

[6] Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton

Finally the issue number 2 of the 72nd volume of Review of Modern Physics [7] is a gem; packed with historical reviews of the development of all fields in physics during the 20th century, written by eminent people.

Of course this is just a minuscule sample of an extraordinary bibliography. Sadly life is so short to make it justice.

It's not mostly the same thing, the difference is pretty significant both in practice and in a "type-theoretic" sense. I get what you're saying, that "pass by reference" and "pass by pointer" are both methods to pass an object into a function without copying, but they are very different. An article like this where the whole point is to talk about these things at a more fundamental level, it is bad to claim that they are.

>So in the end I think Elon will be proved right. Those currently investing in LIDAR-based systems will eventually ditch it for purely practical economic reasons. Those that don't will be completely destroyed in the open market.

> only applies to hyper-urbanised environments

That's where most of the population lives in western countries (both US and EU have ~10% of the population in the largest 10 cities and that's without the well connected metropolitan areas which probably at least double the numbers). So if the futuristic predictions of shared vehicles actually materialize the market for the "personal" vehicle would shrink and manufacturers will have less incentive for whatever they produce for the "personal car" slice of the market. Unless we also get a decentralization trend and people start leaving urban centers.

> Why weren’t any of the other manufacturers doing anything to meet this clear demand for physically attractive EVs with over-hyped autonomous capabilities?

While I agree with the "physically attractive EVs" (although for me it's more of a nice to have than a must), the second part is pretty cynical. You're asking why aren't manufacturers knowingly killing people to sell more cars. Well they are. Some promise you clean diesel, some promise you self driving. Both missed the mark a bit. And both of those promises sold lots of cars.

In which case licensing fees should be explicitly capped. E.g. to a percentage of revenue you make off the device.

That'd stop patent trolls and silly patent holdings dead. You don't use it, you can't charge others.

If someone starts using it, you would charge a percentage royalty.

I wonder if since we really only eat the tentacles, which have regenerative abilites, maybe they're easier to grow in the lab than beef or something.

Like, I get the argument that the authors (who are largely white and probably didn't grow up eating cephalopods unlike in other cultures; honestly the article is a bit tone-deaf in this respect) don't care for the loss of eating octopus but their argument that this is unsustainable and counterproductive is based on assuming current levels of biotechnology. Canada has already permitted GMO salmon, and Canadian consumers seem to have have forgotten about that.

You can approximate most everything in theory almost perfectly by a set of very large but finite moves. Driving a car can be approximated as a set of finite moves (ie: 0.001 degree changes in wheel position) done at finite intervals (say 10000 "frames" per second). That'd give you more precision and a finer time grain than even a human brain is capable of.

Reading between the lines, is by removing a trivial module you can use it without anyone's consent.
The article even claims, highlighted in the article, "It is obvious that so-called “functional” programming is flawed, it makes redundant things like refactoring and unit testing unnecessarily easy". If you are not capable of judging it as blatant sarcasm, I would in fact call you incompetent.

I doubt that is the problem. I think most people didn't read long enough for the sarcasm to be obvious and then wrote their comments as if they had read it all, despite probably not making it longer than the first paragraph. That might not be incompetent, but it is at least intellectually dishonest.
All these Apps now seem to do evil things to drive engagement; for example you get notifications via app icon, email, inside the app and via push notifications all at different times so for one message you might end up interacting 3+ times which can be highly irritating. It seems like buggy software but it’s actually just making you go back to your apps more often.

What gets me is the obsession with "identifying objects". The first thing you want for self-driving is an elevation map of what's ahead. If it's not flat, you don't go there. You don't need to know what it is. This is what LIDAR is good at.

Radar is not yet usable for ground profiling. Radar returns from asphalt at an oblique angle just aren't very good. Nor is there enough resolution to see even large potholes. Maybe someday, with terahertz radar. Not yet.

Now, you can go beyond that. If you're following the car ahead, and it's moving OK, you can assume that what they just drove over was flat. If the road far ahead looks like the near road, and the elevation map of the near road says it's flat, you can perhaps assume that the road far ahead is flat, too. That's what the Stanford team did in the DARPA Grand Challenge.

Identifying objects is mostly for things that move. Either they're moving now, or they're of a type that's likely to move. This is where the real "AI" part comes in - identifying other road users and trying to predict or reasonably guess what they will do.

Collision avoidance based on object recognition has not worked well from Tesla. They've hit a street sweeper, a fire truck, a crossing tractor-trailer, a freeway barrier, and some cars stalled on freeways. All big, all nearly stationary. This is the trouble with "identify, then avoid".

Unison efficiently and reliably syncs my website (static blog mostly) between OS X and FreeBSD. It's one of those extremely underrated pieces of software that just quietly does an excellent job, yet most people never heard of it and continue to struggle with rsync or similar (syncthing fulfills a somewhat different role). Perhaps because it's written in an oddball language, or because the website isn't flashy enough.

I often evaluate a wide range of software before choosing what I consider best for a job, and many years ago, Unison came out way ahead in such an evaluation. It never failed me.
Shape of the wavefront. It is very directional elliptical, you would need very high sensitivity microphone to attempt a capture off angle.

Directivity is about -50 dB off axis potentially. You can further enhance it some with active noise cancellation.
