There are lots of commonalities between invasion sports - famously one of Pep Guardiola’s coaches at Manchester City is a former water polo player, for example. I assume much of what’s been learned there (minus the ball) applies to games like League of Legends.

So, from what little I know of LoL, you’re simultaneously trying to attack the enemy base and protect your own. Presumably there are interesting second order things to study here - how can you get close to the base, how can you destroy it quicker than the opponent destroys yours etc. I assume if there are any epiphanies along the lines of “shoot threes” in basketball or “shoot closer to goal” in football, they’re probably well trodden.

Much of the game is presumably controlling the space between, trying to create overloads against opposition players, and not be overloaded yourself. The best teams in football are experts at using space, and at manipulating their opponent’s shape to create gaps or opportunities for ambushes. So an interesting thing to study would be teams tendencies to overextend - what sort of structures appear to offer them opportunities, but actually keep your players close enough together to pounce on them. The ghosting work mentioned in the article would be interesting here, as would work on pitch control:

Well, if all the decisions are given to the AI, it's harder to establish mens rea. They can just claim they never intended to discriminate anyone but that it was only an "unfortunate glitch" in the system. Of course, this defense might not hold, but AI is a decent legal cover as it's more difficult point to any single person knowingly doing anything illegal.

Actually, no.

Virtually everything the leftist media has printed in the past 4 years has been shown to be false:

- WaPo admitted Trump's phone call conversation to an election official was faked (used in the second impeachment)

- Twitter has admitted they shouldn't have suppressed the Hunter Biden stories

- fact-checking by many social media sites has been outsourced to interested parties, often controlled by the Dem party or CCP

- there was no insurrection, since the 5 people who died were not killed by rioters, were mostly let into the Capitol by police, and didn't have guns.

I could go on, but it turns out the left/Dems are outright daily liars.
acquisition might have been their strategy all long, but I can't see ServiceNow doing anything but strangling what was a cool tool - though maybe in the best case some observability will carry over to huge enterprises
I mean...the only additional reason that affects we plebs is that we don't want someone else having a say on our financial decisions. But that seems valid for a divorce even amongst the ultra-rich; they want to be able to control where their personal funds are going, without anyone else having a say. And the response that "well, they could just agree that each get half and they function independently" is no less true for we poor commoners if our significant other is amenable.
I think the big reason OpenDoc failed is because it was completely steamrolled by Microsoft OLE 2

For that to be true, OpenDoc had to first be deployed and successful somewhere so OLE 2 could be said to have competed with it and to have won. Microsoft's office apps crushed Apple's office apps in the marketplace, etc. OLE 2 never really competed with OpenDoc, though, because no working (in any practical sense) OpenDoc anything ever shipped with MacOS. All the OLE 2 context seems pretty orthogonal, OpenDoc didn't even 'win' within the Apple platform.
It's a jobs program. Someone has to employ all those boys who majored in the humanities at the academies and other feeder schools for the officer corps.
Saying that "fact-checking" websites are often crap isn't the same as saying there's no such thing as true and false. And have you read the paper? If you haven't, what are you spreading?

This is just absolutely bonkers.

"Innocent until proven guilty" was supposed to be a core tenet of our justice system.

The court needs to prove that the money was acquired illegally, not assume it was, and then expect us to prove its innocence. They need to have evidence and a warrant before seizing.

The "Second Amendment" types often claim that the Second Amendment protects the First Amendment. Well shouldn't it also enforce the Fourth Amendment?
"some identified beacons representing enemy combatants and chose to attack" Doesn't having the targets identified with a beacon defeat the purpose of testing whether ai can outperform a human in target detection? I doubt in a real world application enemies are going to be wearing beacons identifying them as targets.
This is a great example, because if Apple had launched the iPhone SE in 2015 at $10,000 alongside their $199 6S, it would have bounced like a bad joke, and probably only a few wealthy people would have bought them.

So in one sense, yes, tech has gotten cheaper, but in another sense there's a limit to how much deflation can really be stated because you can't say someone buying a new iPhone in 2020 is saving $9000 relative to what they would have spent five years prior. They wouldn't have spent it.

There's also a recent inflationary trend in tech, in that old computers actually slow down due to the growing CPU/memory demands of software and web apps to deliver more or less equivalent value to what they used to.
No, obviously not. We're talking about expected values though, so it's a useful thought experiment.
Why wouldn't it be true? It's not as if the source and images aren't available for you to look at for yourself.

As for why BSD isn't more popular than Linux, well, that's a much bigger question. It could come down to licensing, project goals (not winning popularity contests), but mostly decades of history and Linux appearing at the right place, at the right time. There is place for alternative operating systems, choice is important.
The medium (movie) requires getting someone to spend millions on crew and actors to shoot your script

This is not necessarily any easier to achieve than writing a bestselling book, especially for a first-timer, and by the time the Hollywood accountants have finished calculating your share of the revenue, not necessarily any more lucrative.
there was a cool finance clone of HN a few years ago called boredbanker.com but it shuttered, I enjoyed it for the brief months that it existed.

If you want finance focused stuff, coindesk and theblockcrypto are pretty standard. decrypt is ok too. Lots of animation/annoying stuff - few sites are as simple and familiar as HN at this point.

If only 4% of all enterprise spend is on any cloud provider and AWS has I believe 36% of the market, and on top of that AWS has 260 services (at least that’s the number of distinct IAM resource types), I would think there was a larger third party market for Office extensions and dark matter developers doing Office/Sharepoint automation than who cared about a new AWS feature.

There are a lot more people working at AWS dependent on MS office than MS people depending on an Amazon service…..

> Also, one might be in a different life situation or mindset from one read to the next which could alter the perception or enjoyment of what's being read

Catcher in the Rye springs to mind. Interesting reading at different times.

One additional point is that when you know where the plot is going and things that are "unknown" at the time, one can appreciate some of the hints or world building even more. Like a detective novel or so, on re-read knowing the killer one can analyze everything and get a new experience from the same content.

I also re-read like people listen to music. I read Harry Potter 1-3 a few times waiting for book four, then 1-2-3-4, then next year 1-2-3-4-5 etc, and then each exam period at uni I would read it when relaxing. Like, just turn my brain off, I don't want new input, just replay something. So I've probably read the first 3-4 books 30+ times (I had a count up to 20 or so).
> There's no relationship between role specialization and working hours.

How so? More responsibilities surely equals more work. Furthermore, if you can focus on one role, you are more likely to optimize it.

> Otherwise developers tend to write garbage,

Then the developer is not good enough. Perhaps the problem has always been a lack of appreciation of CompSci skills.

> If you're being overworked then push back, or look for a different job.

You can't really push back, you get replaced, and all jobs right now are this way. People are asking why is there a culture of overwork... this is my explanation. If we want less overworking, perhaps we should go back to DIVIDING the work such that people can properly estimate and optimize for their role and eventually find a balance that works for them. As it stands now, you can't optimize for all the responsibilities properly, and are always catching up in learning, while trying to deliver features that have tight deadlines.
> We will no doubt be ravaged by climate change and are likely to reach 1.5 - 2 degrees warning

Yes... because we missed our chance to solve for this.

I get that humans on the whole will survive. But the "be the change you want to see in the world" type of feel goodery is complete bs. "You" are not the problem for climate change. Our politics are the problem and we seem determined to not solve that.
Usually I'm searching aimlessly while thinking about something completely unrelated and I'm not bothering to be focused at all. The first step is to realize that I'm about to start looking for my keys in the same room for the third time and to stop and actually bother to focus and to bring the task to the foreground instead of the background.

Looking for my keys though is a minor annoyance and I'd rather be thinking about something else, so this isn't something I think needs fixing. It isn't driving a vehicle.
As someone who got a CS degree in the early 2010s, I both 1) agree wholeheartedly that engineers should learn to critique work effectively and 2) disagree that engineers aren't taught this in school. At least my degree program included some efforts at code critiques and reviews.

At multiple instances both early and late in the degree program, I was required to offer feedback as part of class assignments. This started with the first "Foundations of Programming" class, in which we'd submit written code reviews of other students' programming assignments as homework assignments. The professor/TAs would evaluate our reviews and provide their own feedback on how to write more effective code reviews. My senior year I had an entire "Software Engineering Lab" course, which required code review notes along with other deliverables for the course (team) project. Again, guidance was provided from the instructor on how to do effective code reviews.
Football isn't like American sports.

Arsenal bought an analytics company (more than one iirc), and did absolutely nothing with it. Man City are only just getting into the area. Liverpool have been doing it for a while (with fairly mixed success). There is almost no interest from management in applying analytics.

Additionally, sports are not equal. Baseball suits analytics. NBA is harder. And football is harder than the NBA (by a significant degree). All of this is measurable btw. One very simple point relating to this: there is no equilibrium strategy in football, it varies based on the opposition, teams that are bottom of the league can (under certain conditions) prevent a huge obstacle to the best team in the league.

Either way, it doesn't matter because almost no football teams are applying this knowledge (there are a few exceptions, some of the top teams are run by professional gamblers and they have been printing money from analytics for decades...so, in those cases, it is being applied).
My point was also about the technology not just about possible applications.

Also, I don't see how you'd lose something so important that you'd tag it. E.g. I'd tag my camera, but then I wouldn't lose it because it is precious to me.

Multiple leaps of faith. "More constraints mean more easier to understand" is a little too reductive.

Replace streams with "operator". All your program code can be written as operators like dot or plus, and since those operators gave constraints, then the whole program will be simpler, right?

If that were true, we'll still be writing code in assembly, managing registers by hand. Because hey, just 256 registers means that you can reuse your knowledge of registers everywhere, which means programs will be easier to understand again, right?

There are examples in threads which show real examples where plain code is better.
>Any time a brand’s logo appears in a film — even if it’s just in the background somewhere — producers have to get clearance from the company to include it.

Python's `sum()` works only on numbers and assumes an empty list sums to 0. Java's `reduce()` is quite a bit more flexible.

I use Joda Money and frequently find myself doing:

final Money bucks = stream.map(Thing::getPrice).reduce(Dollars.ZERO, Money::plus);

If you don't pass in a baseline, you get optional:

final Optional<Money> bucks = stream.map(Thing::getPrice).reduce(Money::plus);

Also, StreamEx improves the ergonomics of Java streams. The way I would implement the original example:

EntryStream.of(cart.getProducts())
.mapKey(Product::getPrice)
.mapValue(BigDecimal::new)
.mapKeyValue(BigDecimal::multiply)
.reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add);

Unfortunately BigDecimal is not especially ergonomic (it could use a `multiply(long)` method, which would eliminate the annoying `mapValue()` above). But unlike the python version of this, it will preserve scale. And streams work as-is on Money types.
Every major publishing house has a SFF imprint with its own marketing budget and does marketing campaigns. Tor dot com (Macmillan), Orbit Books (Hachette), etc. They have marketing campaigns on youtube, tiktok, instagram, twitter and more. They have little video trailers, cover reveals, physical and collectible advance copies etc.

Or in simple words, could you clarify here?

Indeed. He (and Tesla) know how to game the markets and use Twitter and his followers to hype and pump cryptocurrencies and cash out with a massive profit.

He most likely already bought DOGE and then started hyping it before dumping it later. We don't know, but TSLA and Elon did exactly this with BTC.

Most of the latecomers following this DOGE pump and dump scheme probably will be hodling the bag and hopelessly 'buying the dip', and averaging down from the high of $0.78.

Reminds me of SharePoint. Some people swear by it, but my impression is that it's something that incompetent managers buy and then have to shell out later for "SharePoint consultants" to come in and actually make it useful for your organization (and whether or not it is useful depends on the quality of said consultants) and the best you can hope for is a solution that is 80% as nice (from a user perspective, not an IT perspective) and 2000+% the cost of GSuite.
> Included in the intended audience are Soldiers...

"We tried to make this understandable by Soldiers, among others, as far as reading level and expected context & background knowledge"

> ...particularly those tasked with integrating ASA concepts into training

"This subset of soldiers are the ones we mostly expect to read it, or to be required to read it, though, so expect that the content is tuned to and most suitable for their needs"

Nowhere does it say that all soldiers read this or that anyone expects that a typical soldier be required to read it. They are stating the background of their intended audience (Soldier, among others, should suffice) and those whom they expect to be best-served by the document ("those tasked with integrating ASA concepts into training"). This sentence is about as clear as English gets, to the point that I'm baffled this exchange is taking place. It says nothing about "junior soldiers [being] expected to read a document such as this".

> A military manual is not a James Joyce novel. If the manual says the intended audience is soldiers, then you should not be able to come in and say 'actually, regardless of what they wrote, that's not what they really meant'.

Your confidence and repeated insistence that your reading is correct here is not warranted. You're wrong. It is not ambiguous whether you're wrong.
Some countries solve this by paying the authors for each lend. Ofc, not nearly similar amount, but over long term it's not unreasonable.

Yes, I am basing that off the research I did for this article:

https://ellegriffin.substack.com/p/publishing-industry-truth

"Most books peak in the first 10 weeks after their debut, then exit the market."

This is "most" so of course there are exceptions. And it sounds like you are one of them. That is amazing! Did it have a big bump at front, and then decrease over time? Or have you seen other bumps later on?

I do wonder if serial content might be better. Because you get a bump every time you have a release, vs. only every three years when you have a whole book release.

Either way, I'm fairly certain that it's like you say, and that fiction will go the way of poetry and become to niche to make a living from it. But I'm going to at least give it a go and see what happens!
Yeah I cave dive as a hobby and the lack of situational awareness on and around our roads is abysmal.
I can't speak to the PlayStation, but this claim doesn't really hold for the Switch. The Switch's OS "Horizon" borrows BSD's networking stack, but then again: which OS doesn't? [0] Nintendo has written their own kernel, which is fully reverse engineered and re-implemented at this point. [1]

so you'll do it in meatspace where there are witnesses and facial recognition/ALPR cameras everywhere?
The Switch's OS is not based on FreeBSD at all. The Switch's OS is a continued development of the operating system of the Nintendo 2DS/3DS which was likely a custom OS.

Some news sites read the Switch's open source credits crediting the FreeBSD project and ran with the headline "Switch OS based on FreeBSD". By the same measure, people should call Windows "based on FreeBSD" because the kernel uses BSD code or used to at least. It's sub par reporting that turned into an urban legend.

The PS3, PS4 and PS5 operating systems are systems based on the FreeBSD kernel, which is probably why it's tempting to think the Switch would be too.
Me nothing. I drive my cars until they are 12 feet under and junk them. I'm sure the collectors of future will have a different opinion, but they won't get my cars, (see above) and I have no idea what cars (if any) future generations will collect.
And this tension in goals is not limited to software. Modifying and repairing hardware is similarly fraught. You can get yourself into all kinds of trouble by tinkering with (say) your car.

The real difference is that you generally have to be in physical proximity to hardware in order to tinker with it, and that puts a very hard constraint on random people mucking with your car. Not so for software, especially in the age of the internet.
PyCharm works well for me. Probably not as fancy as all this other stuff, but the type hints make the code easier to understand, and they help PyCharm help me by enabling it to find more errors and by enabling enhanced autocompletion.
Actually no, even if they face a downward sloping demand curve (which everyone does but I know what you mean) if their supply curve is perfectly horizontal (infinite elasticity) then an increase in demand would still hold price steady and see only an increase in quantity supplied.
