Ironically, the person you are commenting to is not making a low effort comment and is expressing a pretty basic case of skepticism. Scientific mysticism and "metaphysics" are very popular, just see the unfounded paranoia over "GMO". Turning a skeptical eye to scary sounding articles that have very little research underpinning them shouldn't be controversial.

However that appears to have emotionally triggered you as you've launched into a mocking trollish reply where you've respoken their comment, except turned it into one big condescending insult towards the OP.

Shame on you. Shame on lowering the level of discourse here. This is beneath you and this community.

My father is dealing with Lewy body dementia (same thing Robin Williams had) and it's terrible. His memory was bad, then came some terrible hallucinations, and now he's starting to have problems with balance and movement. He's 76.

He was in the hospital one time and they had him chained to his bed because they were scared he would hurt somebody. This is a man who never raised his voice to me even at my worst. I talked to him on the phone he begged me to call the police because he thought he was chained up in a barn that was on fire. The way he described his situation convinced me that it felt 100% real to him. The people around him were trying to kill him.

His medications have helped a bit with the hallucinations. He still sees people around his home and it scares him. The worst part though is that as bad as today is, things are going to get worse.

I just took a commercial DNA test because I'm pretty sure I'm at risk for the same end. I'll do what I can (although it seems like there might not be much) but ultimately I'm going to make sure I'm in control of the end.

If anybody here can point me to information or resources on Lewy body dementia beyond WebMD, I'd be very appreciative.
This is not a Stonehenge-all like at all (the slightly more interesting bit is a possible mastodon 'painting'). IF it's anything it's most likely a small native American driving trail used for hunting game as the video mentions.

Where lining up small rocks is sufficient in a V like shape into a 'kill zone'.

Stonehenge on the otherhand is an amazing human achievement for the era it was made.

Nothing I wrote was an argument about masks. I linked to the one RCT on masks (as PPE) done in 2020, to illustrate that it's possible to do high-quality studies of these kinds of interventions, and underline the point that politicians are mostly just guessing, and people can see this.

You're grinding an axe here, but it has little to do with what I wrote.

I don't understand why you're being downvoted.

NZ has done exceptionally well and I don't want to take away from it at all! But it would be dishonest to say that they faced challenges of the same magnitude.
Here's a recent example that NYT ended up getting pretty wrong: Finland, ‘Prepper Nation of the Nordics,’ Isn’t Worried About Masks

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/05/world/europe/coronavirus-...

When we (Finland) actually opened the famed stockpiles, we found we had protective gear for about next 3 weeks. The cited chief executive of Finland’s National Emergency Supply Agency, Mr. Lounema ended up promptly resigning, and the whole case was a big scandal in Finnish news for several weeks:

It is explained in the article: undervolting the CPU allows it to run longer at higher frequency, otherwise it will be thermally throttled. RAM has no such problem, overclocking improved performance.

Yeah, it definitely seems like the "big deal" bugs are confined to last-gen consoles; however, the online reaction would make you think it's the game as a whole.

I'm ~30 hours into the PC version (on Stadia) and the only bugs I've seen have been things like food/drinks floating in the air when you knock tables away. Nothing game-breaking, no matter how hard I try to break it.
But the reporter believed it was most likely that part of the story was true. There was corroboration from sources in US and Canadian intelligence saying they believed he was a member of ISIS, and the photo he had on his phone that was taken in Syria.

In retrospect, they are saying the needle moved from "more likely true" to "more likely fabricated."

In any case the story he was telling was believable, and painted a realistic picture of what was happening in the region.

So it's not nearly so black and white
As a developer, I honestly don't care if my CPU has 2 cores or 20 cores as long as it gets the workload done quickly.

In the real world, I only care about how it performs and how much it costs. The implementation details are interesting, but they don't matter when I'm trying to get work done as fast as possible.

The M1 comes in at a great price point for what it is and it's obviously your only option if you want to run macOS (hackintosh isn't an option for production use). Good to have options.
I think the point is they buy them as TAS, then sell what they've bought before they've settled.
interesting... though since winrt is c/c++ based its probably easier for rust to interface with, guessing...

but afaik with swift there is static type information encoded at the binary level that swiftui (e.g `some View`) utilizes to do type-based tree diffing, so i wondered how rust can generate that, even with macros...

maybe im mistaken though!

(thanks for the reply btw)
It certainly looks like you're right.

While I can't find the image online earlier than 2010, there's an ieee research paper titled TanDEM-X for High-Resolution SAR Interferometry from 2007, so it certainly could predate the awning.

Maybe the “central novel claim” of the essay. All schoolchildren know Jefferson was being a hypocrite in declaring “all men are created equal” while owning other people. That was taught to us when I was in school in Virginia, a curriculum that otherwise venerated Jefferson. The idea that the founders were primarily motivated to break from Britain to protect slavery is what attracted so much attention, because it was novel. Unfortunately, it was novel because most historians don’t think that’s true.

There is a real story here: people don’t appreciate the scope of things that were affected and influenced by the institution of slavery. But the New York Times went far beyond that in its bombastic claims: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/13/magazine/1619-project-liv...

> The goal of the project is to deepen understanding of American history (and the American present) by proposing a new point of origin for our national story. In the days and weeks to come, we will publish essays demonstrating that nearly everything that has made America exceptional grew out of slavery.

Deepening the understanding of American history is good. But claiming that “nearly everything that has made America exceptional grew out of slavery” is demagoguery. America didn’t rebuild Europe after WWII because of slavery. It didn’t become the most successful immigrant country in the world because of slavery. Silicon Valley, the moon landing, and our raft of Nobel Laureates didn’t grow out of slavery.

> One staff member with covid will rapidly infect a few 1000 people given how busy they are on a Saturday morning

Is that really so? As I recall the viral load has to cross a minimal threshold before infection develops, and even then the lower the load the milder the illness.

A store employee with his mouth shut whom you pass by in about 3 seconds is a far cry from someone who is singing at you at 10 ft distance for an hour, or eating and chatting for that same hour.
After about 20 hours or so into it I was pretty shocked to see people who have comments that say its a great RPG or that the gameplay is great. Because at least for someone who likes to try out lots of different games, not just the big tentpole AAA games that get released near Christmas, this game is exceedingly mediocre at gameplay.

Its one undeniable quality is that the story missions are compelling and interesting, because I keep coming back to them and I want to see where it goes. But if you take any of the systems in the game, they leave a lot to be desired: crafting, gunplay, sneaking, hacking, quickhacks (or this game's magic system), driving, side missions, voice acting. Hell I find even many of the animations pretty generic most of the time when they are outside of the main story stuff.

The bugs are immersion-breaking for sure, and I hate when I need to restart a mission because of one, but the game is otherwise pretty mediocre. I compare it to Skyrim, where the bugs were present, and the individual systems were sometimes pretty lame, but I otherwise was still immersed in the game world completely and was always having a ton of fun. It was greater than the sum of its parts. Cyberpunk is not.
Yeah, the "Inner message" on the right is a completely separate field from the actual QR contents on the left.
This isn't an apples to apples comparison like the author says, because the package power (37W) of the Ryzen is still quite a bit higher than the M1's. You can see it right there in the graph from Anandtech.

The 5800X is a beast of a CPU. The IPC improvements over the previous generation really are incredible. It's not surprising to me at all that it beats the M1 in several benchmarks. However, it's not the same class of device at all.
Remember to snitch on your neighbours.
Sure a phone can do a lot of that but someone who plans on burying a body may consider tracking and leave it at home. But if a satellite was tracking everyone even in heavy weather conditions at all times and all they had to do was reverse the camera then there won't be a lot of crimes we can't solve. At first probably just used to catch high profile killers because they won't want the knowledge out that they can track anyone. So it will be used to track down high profile targets who won't have much of a trial anyways. Then other countries will utilize the same technology and track down any dissidents. After some time and many other countries are using it and tracking becomes the normal and it is more accepted that you will be tracked then every day crimes can be persecuted. No more slow stopping at stop signs you better come to a full stop or an automated ticket can be sent to you. Pettie crimes like vandalism will be tracked down and people arrested. Of course then there will be private entities that launch their own satellites and begin tracking people. Want to know where your spouse goes, no problem for a monthly fee. Track your teen sure. Safety monitoring of old grandma would be a nice one now she won't wander. What neighborhood is a person driving in from a nice neighborhood well I will push the penthouse suit and extra amenities since they can afford it. Those are just a few of the ideas I thought of.

I don’t understand this at all. Is there a side-by-side comparison of radar and visible wavelength somewhere? Or maybe a version of the geometric diagrams with example objects and the imagery they’d produce?

EDIT: Ok, after Googling this a little I think I get it. The skyscrapers are upside-down. (I think?) The radar is measuring slant-range distance, and due to the viewing angle, the tops of the skyscrapers are closer to the radar than the bases. So the tops of the buildings are closer to the bottom of the image.

Since the skyscrapers are in the “wrong” place in the image, they get blended with ground features that are in the “right” place.

Is that right?
Being kind you have to be firm. Giving someone $20 for a particular purpose is kind, but the person is going to come back over and over so the next kind thing to do is decline to give more without their putting in effort to change their situation.
TFW when you think capitalism can survive without the state
Leaving someone with advanced Alzheimer’s in professional care full time is not abandonment. Fiction rarely shows how long it can go on with virtually no memories left and no ability to care for oneself for even a couple hours. (The fictional danger is often shows as the person forgetting where they live and walking off - the real danger is that they will shit themselves, not tell anyone, and get painful skin issues.)

That’s before you get into the emotional side. How many times a year do you think you could meet your mother and have her not know you from a stranger? No, seeing her every day doesn’t help either - it actually makes it worse for both of you.

Alzheimer’s can be such a slow death you’ve already grieved through “acceptance” while your loved one is still, medically speaking, ‘alive.’
Just wanted to offset the sibling comments by mentioning that I've experienced most of the bugs you describe and then some. And a ton of soft locks. On PC.

I had truly great fun for 40 hours, but it has slowly taken its toll. I'll be waiting for patches before diving in again.
>This is akin to Fauci saying he didn't think we should be wearing masks, and changing his mind as more data came in.

From what I understand he intentionally lied to the public because he wanted front line workers to get them first. This was doing the toilet paper panic. I believe he expressed this himself in an interview.

"He also acknowledged that masks were initially not recommended to the general public so that first responders wouldn’t feel the strain of a shortage of PPE."
I went ahead and changed Link QR to say "Redirect" and replaced "Link to a website" under Everything Qr with "Text," hopefully that clears some confusion.

Besides huge engineering efforts, they also do lots of marketing - so what's the point?
20-30 hours on a regular (launch model) Xbox One and the game completely crashes frequently, probably 20 times so far. This means you have to relaunch the game, get through to the main menu, then load your game. So at 3-5 minutes each time, that's an hour of my playtime just recovering from crashes.

Maybe 4-5 times I've run into a bug where my character can't move and I have to load a save, or the person I'm supposed to talk to or follow in a quest won't move onto the next action. This takes 5+ minutes to figure out that it's not going to happen and I need to reload.

A lot of the time it's clear that the game has a lot of things queued for loading and it's trying to catch up. You have to wait 30 seconds or so for it to load everything before you can trigger then next event. These are also the moments that usually trigger the crashes.

> Playing on Series X fwiw.

Most of the comments I've read that share your opinion, the person is inevitably playing on the pro version of the console. It feels really like they built the game for high end machines, and then did everything they could to get it working on the lower end machines. I don't know what the equivalent of building a 'mobile-first' website is in game development or if it's possible, but they clearly didn't do that.

But I'm pretty patient and forgiving of bugs, so I've still been enjoying the game despite the issues.
It is a big deal because both the PS5 and XSX are at risk of going into a death spiral right now. Because most people have only been able to buy units at double the normal price via scalpers, people have been buying way less games than normal. Which means that if this continues, developers just won't make games for these consoles and people won't buy them. The enormous failure of Cyberpunk is only further increasing this risk, by preventing people from spending money on actual finished games.
You are hurting them, and I’m not sure if this is too hard for you to understand or you are simply evil.
Prisoner Abuse: Patterns from the Past
It sounds like the "other reasons" that people are speculating on (without evidence) are that he might have clicked the Like button on some edgy content? That's a lame reason to take away hundreds of dollars of purchases from someone.

TBH it sounds like a lot of those people on reddit are basing that speculation off of a misunderstanding of the TOS page. "Here's some but not all of the reasons why Facebook bans accounts" is a far cry from "Your account was banned for this reason"

Edit: it looks like the reddit comments accusing the guy of being a white supremacist were taken down so I don't know if we're referring to the same thing. OTOH, Facebook has told people that posting pictures of competing VR hardware is a TOS violation for guns so it's probably just some crappy automated system that got tripped https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/jxd3tl
There's definitely a problem though: when I edit the URL as a Link QR (e.g. changing .com to .co), the little checkmark changes to a spinner then back to a checkmark, but the QR code does not change at all. No error messages in the console other than two script-src CSP errors.
Trump downplays Russia in first comments on cyberattack
In my opinion the story isn't about what was done to 'deserve' or to not deserve the ban, it's that there doesn't have to be any transparency, accountability, or anything of the sort.

Now that bans from services can delete peoples' games they have purchased, photos they have stored, notes they have taken, and, well, everything else, it would be nice if we started paying attention to how little rights consumers have here more.
I don’t think sale price of a big mansion sold 100 years ago and passed down from generation to generation would cover maintenance cost (road, sewers, electricity, police etc) for 100 years.

VSCode is a Microsoft product: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode - their core developers work at Microsoft
Largely yes
There are bugs. After 60+ hours of gameplay, I can say Cyberpunk is significantly worse than the Witcher 3 was at launch.

The thing is, on PC, the bugs are mostly visual annoyances or obvious lack of polish. Menu's not updating, UI glitches in cut scense, etc... I've had the game crash on me exactly once.

The core game has a great story. The side quests are unique and interesting. Characters have depth. Combat is surprisingly good. Cyberpunk has all the things I need to enjoy it and I did enjoy it.
