I still have a copy of Totaler Krieg! My brother and I tried to play it once, in the 90's. We did not finish setup before dinner, and decided to give up and relinquish the table. It's classified as being in the middle of the spectrum of difficulty. Despite that failure, I don't regret the experience. It produced a tangible connection between the computer wargames I had been playing and the history behind those.

It's a different kind of way to think about play, and it helps to imagine you're back in 1970 and computers are a thing only really available for Serious Projects, and working through a simulation with maps and minatures and calculation tables is the next best thing. Spending most of the day setting up the board made sense. A 12-year-old could do it, but Fortnite is more immediately gratifying.

Part of what killed wargaming as a major tabletop genre is that computers are better at being simulators of the "noisy" elements of warfare. On some level, you know that ranking a unit with "attack" and "defense" ratings is going to be bullshit. If you make up more numbers and add more tables and put more rules in the game - which is what the complex end of wargames did - that doesn't make it better, but if you take an approach where physical reality is referred to as often as possible(which you can do in real-time on a computer), you can make a claim to accuracy emerging from that.

What tabletop has done since then is to get better at being a more immediate experience and to convey things in broad strokes of abstraction, instead of setting up dozens of units and running calculations of troop morale and weather.
Each time you go to the grocery there will different people there anyway. The effects are very marginal.
We live in an age where anything used by bad people is now bad, no matter how it was used in the past.

That goes all the way from clear things like the swastika to not-so-clear things like the 'ok' hand sign. Yes, there are people who say you shouldn't use 'ok' hand signs now because it's used by an extremist group.

So if neo-nazi use a font, that font is now, to those kinds of people, only a neo-nazi font.
When console games started selling for $59.99 (or more), I found it difficult to justify purchasing most single player games unless they really were jaw-droppingly amazing because the hours to dollars ratio started becoming very low.

Meanwhile a multiplayer game - whether it be a MMORPG or a FPS, would net you countless hours of entertainment.
Depends on the range, but if you're inconsiderate and can't remember where you parked...
But it is a confirmation. If you're far enough away (perhaps you forgot to lock right away), you won't hear the lock mechanism and wont know if you are too far away for the signal to reach. So you wait for a honk.
They have leverage if they’re the only gig in town, though.
While still meeting delivery targets? Even if budget weren't a concern, how do you scale up new employees that quickly?

I'm NOT condoning the behavior. This is disgusting. Still, "the supplier would (within a few hours) stop using child labour" is completely unrealistic.

Apple should have cut ties immediately even if it meant a breach of contract or shortage of inventory.
Last few things missing for me to make the switch are: tree-style/nested vertical tabs (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/464) and firefox style per-tab sessions (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/34)

Really excited to see brave adding native IPFS support, though I would hope the team could start dedicating some cycles to some of these core features that firefox has over them.
You'd think within a few hours and not right away?
Can you explain this more. If it takes them 3 years to scale up, does it now mean all the vendors are locked in for that period. If a vendor starts failing quality checks will they still take 3 years to disintegrate them? If not then why would violation of their own labor standards take 3 years to remove them?

FWIW, except forced labor, I am against child labor standards since it usurps the wisdom of the parents without providing for that child. No parent no matter how poor wants their child to work unless they cannot afford to feed them. The alternative to working in a apple supplier factory might be working in a more hazardous factory or construction site.
Building an NLP Word Association Network from Scratch
This is a misunderstanding of the argument I'm making here. To break it down in more direct terms:

Premise A: For something to be democratic, the population has to wield power directly or indirectly by electing representatives.
Premise B: we cannot let just any type of speech or information propagate, because certain types of information are liable to make the population do bad things and harm democracy.

The premise B immediately runs into problems with A for a number of reasons:

1. We are implicitly agreeing that there is a caste of people that knows better than the population at large, and we count ourselves within that group when arguing about the topic (the "I'm stuck in traffic" instead of "I am the traffic" conclusion)

2. The flow of information and speech must be controlled so that the population is only exposed to certain things.

If the information or speech flow the population is exposed to must be controlled lest they do the wrong things, and that this control must be exercised by some vaguely defined group of reasonable people that includes the arguer, then in this scenario the population cannot be said to actually wield power and the arguer cannot be said to actually believe in democracy but presumably in some form of technocracy.

You end up with a paradox in which people claim to want democracy while arguing that a control and screening of the population is absolutely necessary for democracy.

To be clear, I am in general agreement with you that unfettered lies pose an existential risk. But it is not in any way a democratic sentiment: it is a technocratic one since in this case you do not trust the population to wield supreme political power on its own, without guidance.
I don't get what people are stealing from parked cars? You can't remove radios anymore. What are they taking? Surely nobody's leaving a laptop or a purse in a car?
It is not the first time that I have looked at IPFS and I still have a hard time understanding how the ecosystem is going to work.

From my understanding, the file hash is basically the file URL, such that any change to the file content is a change to the file url as well. For hosting something like Wikipedia, how would one create pages that link to one another? And if indexes need to be created on top of the content, how are the different indexes kept in sync?

Looks like it's back up now, along with ubuntu.com which was also down.
A supplier using child labor shouldn't be a "ok, let's gradually work this out" kind of issue. It should be a "immediately cut all ties to them" kind of issue. If it will disrupt a supply chain and hurt profits, so be it. Seems like a small price to pay compared to using child labor.
Why is there still no text editors as smart about the text as JetBrains IDE as smart about the code, or there is?
Would Brave's parallel profiles allow me to be signed in to 2 different AWS accounts?

I've tried this in Multi-Account Containers for Firefox and SessionBox in Chrome, and they're both pretty buggy, e.g. the console's username menu indicates I'm in account "A", but I'm seeing resources listed from account "B", or EC2 will work fine but clicking over to ECS prompt me to sign in again.
Do you know of any sources that explain the connection?
it doesn't show in the Screenshot in the article, but ArchiveBox in Aug 2020 implemented the "readability article text extractor", see description in the release notes: https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/releases/tag/v0.4.14 and the module that does the work https://github.com/pirate/readability-extractor

By only extracting text and article images you could go deep into an archive. If you skip images, much more so

stockfish finished +9 over 100 games.

I don't have any stock in those 2 engines, so I don't care which one is better than the other. At the end as a poor chess player it won't change anything :) It's actually interesting to compare how those two software are evolving and how they got here.

Stockfish is much older. And it took it a lot of hand tuning to reach its current level. It is (or was) full of carefully tested heuristic to give a direction to the computation. It would be very difficult to build an engine like stockfish in a short span.

Leela got there very very quickly. Even if it was not able to win in October, the fact that it got competitive and forced the field to adopt drastic changes in such a short period of time is impressive. It seems to be a good example of how sometimes no using the "best" solution could still be a win. Getting good results after a few months against something that required 10 years of work.
Thanks for kind words sentinel. Totally agreed about the two pain points you described with existing remote activities:

1. Not getting to know your teammates better
2. Not being fun

This is what really led us to want to do something different with Gamejoy. To this end, we try to train our hosts and pick games that not only encourage participants to have fun but also get to know each other better—through interactive and maybe slightly embarrassing questions. :-)

And, agree about needing to continue to experiment with games. We have a couple of ideas in the pipeline but we want to make sure they bring that combination of fun + team building that we want.

>It’s almost like it evolved to exploit the lunacy of modern society.

I think you're actually correct. If the lunacy of modern society helped it succeed vs genetically similar organisms I would call that a successful adaptation.

I'm not terribly familiar with all the features that Multi-Account Containers offer. Does SessionBox for Chrome not meet your needs for some specific reason?
One reason is that it's an interface to your bloodstream. Infection under gums can leak pathogens to your heart.
Some of those languages (especially python & php) utilise C based modules or packaged external binaries. Both of which have to be available / compatible with ARM.

When you run pip or composer on Amd64 they often pull these down and you don't notice, but if you try on arm you discover quickly that some packages don't support ARM. Sometimes there is a slower fallback option, but often there is none.
Ah yes sorry the filter array (wxy) is a 3d array of shape (2,2,21) initialised to 0 with the wxy[0,0, 21//2]=1 and wxy[1,1,21/2] =1. Which corresponds to a perfect impulse response function and wxy should also be complex (at least in this implementation of the adaptive filter).

Here are a few pointers from a WSB member with a position in $GME

1. Short sellers have been running the stock into the ground over the past years and have been stupid enough to get to roughly 130% short interest as percentage of available float.

2. There are no more shares available for them to borrow and sell short, WSB has jumped into this trade following Ryan Cohen (your dog must know him), buying as many shares as possible, decreasing the float even further and pushing the price up.

3. Ryan Cohen owns about 13% of the company. He founded chewy.com and is an e-commerce wizard who wants to turn GameStop around from a brick-and-mortar shop to a digital / e-commerce player. He joined the board last week together with two other former Chewy execs (COO and CMO). FYI GameStop digital sales are 300% yoy and the company has recently posted a profit for the first time in many quarters. Shorts pretend like Chewy never happened, Ryan has nothing to do with GameStop and digital sales are nonexistent.

4. This short squeeze is inevitable. There are no other moves short sellers can do. They are trapped and check-mate is near. It will be similar to VW in 2008 and more aggressive than Overstock last year.
Besides VLANs, another way to separate control and data plane traffic is using VRFs.

AFAIK, people don't really steal stock radios anymore. Or at least, it's not very common.

Your trunk should also be empty of anything valuable. There's no reason to keep much back there overnight. I guess thieves could steal my tire chains and donut right now, but that hardly seems worth the trouble.
IPFS has a mechanism called IPNS where any /ipns/author-hash can resolve to /ipfs/hash and the ipns record is signed and can only be provided by that signer/author.

But this is just another way of authenticating the "author". You can also use dns (if you can trust it), or you can use signed content, or you can get the ipfs hash through a channel you trust.

The main idea though, is that IPFS content is authenticated by default because it is referenced by its own hash. The problem on obtaining a hash you can trust is just a layer above and solvable in multiple ways, as needed.

You might want to kill me after I say this, certainly people on HN want to kill me just for fun ;), but I also drink coffee. I only drink sugar free Red Bull. What's strange is I can stop for months without any withdraw from caffeine. I often go from drinking Red Bull + Coffee for a few months to just water for multiple months.

Once I finish this case, I think it's time to go back to water and coffee for 6 months. :)

For the video clips, you can control whether any are sent to Tesla under the data sharing options on the in-car menu system.

Video is only recorded locally if Sentry mode is enabled (when parked) or Dashcam is enabled (when driving). Sentry mode prevents the car from going to sleep / opening the HV contactor, which costs a small amount of battery if it's enabled for long periods.

The car's location is accessible through the app, so this is sent through Tesla's servers.

> For example if I was a father and somebody killed and raped my daughter. I'd like to think of myself as someone who'll kill that person if he receives anything less than a life sentence

And then some relative of that person would kill you, and some your relative would kill your killler and so on. Hopefully, after several generations and few tens of dead such cycle of vendetta would end.
Conway is often remembered for his Game of Life, but IMHO that is trivia in comparison with his surreal number system [1]. I predict that while surreal numbers today are an under-appreciated toy, in coming centuries they will gradually become more and more important, eventually surpassing even what we currently call real numbers.

Quoth:

IPFS uses content-based addressing; it creates an address of a file based on data contained within the file. If you were to share an IPFS address such as /ipfs/QmbezGequPwcsWo8UL4wDF6a8hYwM1hmbzYv2mnKkEWaUp with someone, you would need to give the person a new link every time you update the content.

The InterPlanetary Name System (IPNS) solves this issue by creating an address that can be updated.

A name in IPNS is the hash of a public key. It is associated with a record containing information about the hash it links to that is signed by the corresponding private key. New records can be signed and published at any time.

...

Alternatives to IPNS

IPNS is not the only way to create mutable addresses on IPFS. You can also use DNSLink, which is currently much faster than IPNS and also uses human-readable names. Other community members are exploring ways to use blockchains to store common name records.

I fail to see how threads like this on HN aren't political aggrandizing.

Anyone who was actually curious and watched live streams from within of these idiots can realize most of this was just a jovial idiot fest. In 1983 when the weather underground literally bombed the capital was a far cry from trump lunatics walking about staying within bollards and aside from a few legitimate fools (like the one who got shot) generally just making fun of where they were. Of course, there were a few morons who supported nazi rhetoric, just like at any run of the mill antifa rally a few of those people actually have intent on killing cops and rich people.

Blowing this idiocy out of proportion is just going to result in more of our civil liberties and rights being taken away.

I'm getting so tired of people defending Apple on this.

Like...No. This is a red line. Do a better job before you find a supplier.
Should we ban every tool that allows you to broadcast? TV, Radio, Tiktok, twitter, youtube, etc? To be fair I think it used to be much much worse when there were only a few broadcast venue, people used to go CRAZY about celebrities, and some shows. It is much better now that conversation and broadcasting takes place on different networks.

The upside of broadcasting is that issues that only minorities experience have been brought to daylight: #metoo, gay marriage, actual insurrections that we should support, demonstrations, health care fight in the US, etc.

Maybe not hours, but days or months. I don't understand why they haven't done anything in 3 years to not lose Apple.

I'm worried if Apple didn't push hard enough during all that 3 years, and later they moved to a different supplier for other reasons.
> At least I feel I see a lot more Linux now, not just in the company I work for but also elsewhere.

I see it far more now than I did ~5-10 years ago when it was my daily driver. I'm just not sure if it's gotten a baseline support and flatlined or if it's growing consistently now.

Fully agree with almost all of your points, and if MacOS did go off the deep end in terms of functionality, I'd be back on Linux. It's why I'm a big fan of what Marcan is doing and follow it closely.

If Linux support was as good now as it was when I switched, I'd likely have never switched to the Mac.

But now I just stick around for the hardware.
I was in Austin last year and was shocked by the homeless there. I spoke to a few people and they had informed me that some laws changed recently which allows them to live under bridges and the lots of churches etc.

>...there's absolutely nothing preventing you starting a new subreddit.
Except for discovery. If you want to talk about, say, Python, you'll probably go to /r/python. But what if /r/python's mods start sending the sub down the drain? Go to /r/python2? /r/python3? /r/python_lang? New users are still going to go to /r/python and be sucked into a bad community. If they're really invested in discussing Python, maybe they'll find /r/python_lang, but if they're not they'll just bounce off and the entire community won't grow.

IMO reddit needs namespaces. Back in the beginning, there weren't subreddits, just reddit.com (like HN is now), and as reddit grew they created subreddits to divide discussion. I think it's time for another subdivision. This might work well with their attempts to become more of a people-focused social media company: a person can start a subreddit and appoint their own moderators: /r/ranger207/python would be an entirely different subreddit from /r/antihero/python. This reduces the "default name" problem: if you want to discuss Python and search "python subreddit" you'll get both results. You won't automatically assume /r/ranger207/python is better than /r/antihero/python like you would assume /r/python is better than /r/python_lang. Anyway, that's a big digression...
