What game proponents seem to miss is that most people are mostly interested in other people (we are predominantly social creatures after all). Books, movies, tv shows can create extremely lifelike immersive experiences that center around people. Games, on the other hand, suck at it - humans are way to hard for a computer to simulate. The current fallback is to have scripted bits of bad movies/books embedded in between the mechanistic gameplay, which makes most people just want to grab for the real thing (movie/book). Hence games are mostly popular among young people, who haven't developed much taste yet and who have a lot of time to kill, and fill it with the mechanistic gameplay.

The drive is the issue, linux just happens to a better job of using other resources to improve HDD performance. Said linux installation would still be much faster/more responsive on an SSD. For the prices that Apple charges for their computers they should include a low-tier SSD at the very least.
I am pretty sure it would have been, as "published" here simply means uploading the pdf here:

http://www.ijact.org/index.php/ijact

Having the papers there makes it look more like a "real" journal, and potentially makes the author decide to submit more in the future. I would even assume a lot of the authors "publishing" in such journals are perfectly aware of their quality, and do this just to increase their "peer-reviewed publications" stats. It is very difficult to separate those from legitimate journals on a publication list.

For those not in academia: there are 100s of those journals. I get invitations to publish in such journals or conferences almost daily on my professional address. Some of them have the very same formatting as the ones in the article (same ugly fonts and colors).
That's definitely true of some enhanced variations on reference counting. The changes I mentioned though do not involve any tracing of live data at runtime. (Although once one introduces the possibility of general cycles, it seems hard to avoid the requirement of tracing some live data.)
We don't need the ability to switch to new algorithms as much as we need the ability to ditch old ones. Agility in cryptography only needs to mean the ability to deprecate what's broken. We're still going to see newer and more robust algorithms implemented in new software and protocol versions anyway.

What we need is 1 or 2 strong cipher suites and exactly zero weak ones, not 10 strong ones and 5 weak ones.

There was a multiplayer RTS called arkaron or something that featured time travelling. The gameplay was built around building up your forces to fight at a particular point in time. As you built up you sent units back in time to battle opposing forces in waves with a limited amount of energy. The game ran on a constantly ticking timeline that implemented changes in the timeline (spawned units) at the end of each timeline section. The original idea was to be more expansive with the implementation but it had to be cut down.

I'm not sure what your point is here.

Ok, Eric is not a climate scientist (or if they are, they're perhaps not a very good one). And one graph that they've pointed to as demonstrating what actual climate scientists are concerned about has some problems too. Fine.

But really --- for many (most?) questions, many (most?) people are unable to evaluate the evidence themselves, and instead fall back to the consensus of actual experts.

And I think that's perfectly reasonable behavior: being an expert in everything is impossible.

In this case, there are plenty of people who are experts. Trained, experienced, knowledgeable people. And by an overwhelming majority, they think there's a big problem here.

Now there are cases where orthodoxy in science, in part worsened by cultural or religious factors, has led to a consensus that was subsequently shown to be unsupported by later, better, evidence and analysis. It's possible that this is the case here, and your skeptical approach is not entirely unwarranted.

But the consensus view of the probable outcomes is pretty dire. And that's probably a quite conservative prediction, because those scientists who have risked the backlash of talking about what they personally think is likely, paint a significantly worse picture.

At what point should we, as humanity, decide that the risk is worth altering our behavior, if not now?

There are concurrent GC's that don't pause all threads while running garbage collection. Plus the whole point of GC is that it's what you use when you just don't know at runtime which operations should involve "allocation or deallocation" of objects. From the POV of tracing GC, any "new" reference to an object might be the reference that extends its lifetime and prevents it being collected, and conversely when removing a reference.

I read the quotes in the links. None of that to me constitutes as 'racism' and 'sexism' as commonly defined. They are just plain observations which incidentally resonates with my own observations. Of course your average person out there will construe all his statements as being racist and sexist.

You could argue that some of his statements are bad jokes, but that is subjective.

To quote the guy 'rob' who made the comment on June 4, 2018 at 5:22 am :

Is he an old man? Yes. Does he not know when to keep his mouth shut? Yes. Are some of his views outdated? Yes. Get over it. 90% of the planet is as bad as him, if not worse. And 90% of your views will be outdated too in 20 years.

This never-ending desire of "the left" (which includes most of academia) to feel offended is far more damaging than the ramblings of an old man.

> There is less need for long term support as games are expected to meet its twilight much sooner.

I think this is true for the majority of games.

But I wonder if it remains true for the most successful.

e.g. GTA V released in 2013. Apparently as of 2018 it saw $6B in revenue. Though, surely a lot of this has to do with the new content they introduce to incentivize microtransactions.

Fortnite was a paid early-access game in July 2017, but had a free-to-play battle-royale mode by September 2017.
Minecraft came out of beta in 2011.

I can agree with "just ship it, quality of code is not a concern" for an initial release. I wonder how much bad code affects big and successful products, though.

e.g. Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Breakpoint was very buggy, even though it looked like an iteration on the Ghost Recon Wildlands game just two years earlier.

Off topic: I like your nickname. In that vein, here are two variations of the same sequence of keypresses shifted up and down respectivelly: "erweriotuout" and "cvxcv,.bm.mb".

While something like "4694372" is motorically meaningful to a person typing it on the keypad, or to someone watching him do it, it translates to the screen space as gibberish. Another way to put it is that when typed it has an obvious structure, but when read on the screen, the structure is prohibitively difficult to discern. That's interesting, because it's all too easy to forget that the computer as we know it today can interface with only a very small portion of our faculties.

What is interesting here is that you disregard authority for results you disagree with and quotes authority for results you agree on. It sounds like your emotions are deciding which results you find 'correct'. This is the exact problem we're discussing.

This is an unfair treatment of the decision. The question addressed by the court isn’t “who is the cause of supracompetitive prices?” but rather “if Apple is the cause, can consumers sue?”

Apple’s defense argued that only the app developers could sue under a certain view of the precedent where Apple’s role as a pass through is essentially transparent to the law. Their argument attempted to shift who the customer was ultimately doing business with: Apple or the app developer.

One of the theories underpinning the precedential rule is that not stopping impacted downstream parties from suing may potentially subject Apple to multiple liability. Apple argued that they were already liable to app developers so shouldn’t also be liable to consumers. The Court is saying here that that theory does not hold water because Apple, as a middleman, may be liable to both upstream and downstream parties (damages from app developers and consumers, respectively).

So somehow, without any deep knowledge of any of these subjects, you're able to determine that one statement is correct and the other is not. I'm doubting that this is based on anything else than emotions.

I followed a conversation the other day about the increase of alcohol related diseases and addictions in US and one of the most voted comments was about getting sober thanks to AA

There's value in getting sober, but it's not a solution to the problem presented, which is mostly a social problem, that the private health care in US won't solve no matter how much money you pour at it

And yet those criticising the US social system and the absence of a public welfare were downvoted.

So in the end nobody learns from their mistakes and those willing to collaborate bringing a different POV are discouraged to do so again.

It doesn't sound positive to me.

Indeed ML is vast and not limited to NN.

My question was more towards people who are actively using NN as a solution and _have_already_ shipped products in a 'regulated' industry.

The products are obviously out there, so to me it is confusing what evidence can a team provide at this point in time (with the current NN implementations) in order to get a product using NN (with a non-deterministic uncertainty) approved by a regulatory body? (automotive, medical, etc.)

Examples that jump to mind are Tesla's stereovision sub-systems (I am assuming NN are used), or NN based medical imaging classifier software (NN instead of Clustering or SVM techniques)

> Gaming is Replicating the TV Package

Not sure about this one. Most of the time TV was either free or close to free, because it was a state-sponsored political media too. Even now TV content is subscription-based; pay per view is marginal part.

Videogame subscription services are giving access to some second grade games and some bonus content and maybe discounts, but not to premium titles. In fact, most premium titles are subscription-based themselves. It is like if you have a Disney+, but have to pay extra for Mandalorian subscription.
Thanks for your input on this. I haven't given much thought to moving from Canada to abroad. But maybe that's the alternative.

That's sort of the trouble - mainstream climate change research seems to be lacking skepticism when it comes to claims that we're all doomed. For example, there was a paper in Nature which claimed the oceans were soaking up 60% more heat than previously thought, which implied CO2 caused much more warming than previously estimated. This made it onto most of the world's news and HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18352506 It should've caused skepticism, since it used a weird indirect method to estimate something that was measured directly and contradicted both the direct measurements and the models. It didn't. It took some of those academic outsiders to spot that they'd screwed up the error bounds and, in fact, this weird method wasn't able to measure ocean heating accurately enough to contradict the existing measurements. The researchers did at least admit some of their errors, which is not something that can be relied on in any field.

The HN comments are quite amazing in retrospect too. Lots of comments proclaiming our doom, with tthe topmost one starting "yet more bad news on the climate change front", one not-particularly-insightful downvoted comment at the bottom suggesting that a 60% change in an important measurement shouldn't inspire confidence in climate science's accuracy.
And yet every time one starts a new project, we tell ourselves "this time I will do it better!"

I just started a new big project. Wish me luck. It replaces something held together with duct tape and string concatenation in 5000 line files.

Reference code is almost never what you want to go into production, what with various perf and security issues. It's there to test spec compliance.
I think this depends if you view a game or league purely as a compition (per definition if one team wins, another one has to lose), or as a "brand": very exciting games can increase the popularity of a league/sport, increasing revenue/attention even for the losing team.

I think most sports fans only look at the first part.
But you had other smartphone options, and you chose to buy Apple's solution. In making that choice, you were not just buying a piece of general-purpose hand-held computing hardware, you were buying into to a specific, explicitly-curated ecosystem of software and services. Apple's gatekeeping role here was a significant part of the iPhone's value proposition. If that's not what you want, or if you think it is overpriced, why would you choose to buy it? Other devices are available.

(As someone who doesn't use either an iPhone or an Android phone, I don't really have a dog in this fight. Just an observer trying to see various points of view.)
Watching speed runners play through games is a great way to visualise not only this aspect (that games are flimsy at best), but to visualise the same practice in any software - if you don't code defensively, often a simple mis-input breaks the game.

A common pattern in many speed runs is finding some glitch through a door, and then the game logic kicks in and says "you are past this door, so you must have got the key".

If you are curious, watch the five or so minutes of this speedrun: https://youtu.be/0Ct8n1CClUM?t=3072 First, the player jumps through a game world, getting to a race he shouldn't be able to get to yet. Second, he glitches into the "solid" wall, which is just a thin wall around the racetrack.
Writing hacky code can be liberating though. I really enjoyed hacking together things in the pico-8 last year. Globals? Fine. Neat function names? Nah. Variable names? 'a' will do.

I run a small MMORPG and I'm considering open-sourcing the whole thing but the code is a complete mess. The source code of VVVVVV is a work of art in comparison.

What holds me back are 1. I'm ashamed to reveal the monstrosity 2. I'm afraid the code is too messy for anyone to be able to make contributions 3. it will make it much easier for hackers to find exploits.

It's a shame because I think the game would be really cool as an open source project.
