> Ray Dalio and other investors who have been doing big bets on China are fucked. Either their work for Xi and CCP (and talk like them) or they get out.

I doubt a billionaire didn't have somebody worth his credits to tell them how China really works.

It's very obvious that American dotcomers keep spending millions in consulting fees to get close to the Chinese establishment. Zuckerberg apparently spent an 8 digit sum to setup his meeting, and dinner with Xi.

Nobody just setup's a dinner with the head of a communist party like that.

I acknowledge your goalposts. I personally value my social good goalposts more important than the project objectives, and JEDI as originally envisioned is negative with respective to my goalposts. It is thus net negative to me.

Pithily paraphrased, "Those who would give up essential [self-sufficiency], to purchase a little temporary [efficiency], deserve neither".
I could quite easily do 2 full time jobs simultaneously except that it would be impossible to get them not to schedule overlapping meetings. Wish I had a reliable way around that because I’d love to get paid twice as much for working maybe 50% more since I typically have a decent amount of idle time within a 9-5
I might be wrong, and this is a bit of a trope, but I would recommend assessing people by whether they can show commitment to the things they care about, and whether they care about and can commit to the startup. People seeking a get-rich-quick scheme may not have a track record of patience in that regard.

The article speaks about using this as a way to escape addiction to painkillers. Not so fast.

Addiction is a phenomenon that predominantly happens in the brain, due to it constantly adapting to find homeostasis. And being unable to perceive pain when you should be is not homeostasis.
> This type of logic would say there no point in having more than a few CS programs worldwide because it already exists.

Well... yes. If they were all open programs then that may well be true. Of course there's value in diversity. But it does seem like a massive waste of resources that we have students paying thousands for tuition they could get much cheaper if it was shared around more widely.

> Would you care for the credential of an institution if it goes out of business in the next 3-5 years?

That depends entirely on whether my credential was still accepted beyond that point. But in any case, I don't see why a new credentialing organisation should last any less long than an older one.
Great writeup.

I haven't seen products that use geofences to verify debug flags. Would it be possible to spoof this using a fake GPS e.g. with SDR?

While the quality of self-help material is variable, what I think is valuable (and I guess pretty American) is the focus on that which you can change for yourself.

It seems more popular recently to talk about external problems that you realistically can't impact ("why should anyone be a billionaire") rather than focus on what you can actually change ("how do I grow valuable skill sets and market myself better to increase my compensation.")

Obviously, not every self-help book is going to be good, or right for you, and you may not absorb and implement it, but I'd much rather bet on someone who at least tries to steer their own ship.

The availability of reference material doesn't give you expertise, context, trained judgement, etc. The value that an expert provides is not in their ability to memorize facts and regurgitate them.

Hmm.. It'a already the name of quite a popular side-loading app/store for VR games. https://sidequestvr.com/
I wouldn't go as far as calling it a complete rewrite. The renderer (called Atom) is completely new, but many other things stayed the same. Our Lumberyard Gem required some work to port over, but that was mostly replacing old CryEngine stuff with the equivalent in the Lumberyard/O3DE API.
We are actually working on this! Just because we did some small fixes doesn't mean we aren't working on something bigger :). The current app is a full isomorphic SPA with React + Redux. It's a beast, and around 80% of the code is completely unnecessary on the client. Our initial approach was little tweaks and performance wins like this, but those are diminishing returns with a JS payload size so large.

Next week we are rolling our our new property detail page for Rent.com that is mostly server-rendered with a few interactive React components injected and hydrated on demand as you scroll. It brings the app bundle size down from about 1.5MB (yikes!) to around 140kb. It's been a huge, long effort and is a completely new app architecture. It of course increases our score way more than just 17 points :)
Villages in Spain and elsewhere use light wall colors, roof overhangs and narrow streets/walkways to keep paths shaded and cool. Also can orient for wind. Can make it a bit more manageable. For really oppressive days, you put low flow misters along paths.

In a village, you don’t go to HEB once every two weeks and get $400 in groceries. You walk to the market every day or two and shop. One tote bag. You send the kid to the butcher, fishmonger or for something you forgot. Completely different from sub/exurb lifestyle.

Smaller hand trucks/carts would also be a norm, very common to see those in Europe with the elderly, delivery or tradesfolks.

One aspect of the covid era was that many stopped walking to urban stores every day and made it a weekly thing or got delivieries. Kind of eye opening to see a city like SF return to crowded markets.
That’s minor. It sounds like you agree with the rest of the post?

Sounds spooky, but when I try to imagine it my mind throws an exception: In any non-imaginary scenairo you wont have enough energy and reaction mass to match speed with the object. in these scenarios “ordered to investigate” means that you will do some neat observations as you and the object drifts by. And if you have somehow enough energy to match the planet’s speed then you are basically a god and you don’t really have much which can spook you.

While the story of squishy human meatsacks traveling in a tin-can braving the surface of one of these would be a compelling read it is not really realistic sadly.
> when i was writing a sibling comment i had this same realization. the fault of capitalism is that its an expression of populism, of the tyranny of the majority.

Then, you had the opposite realization to mine, since I described a "tyranny" of the capital-owning minority, who, in particular, control the large film production studios. And if you believe they simply must give the people "what they want", then I'll quite some Bakunin at you:

> ...That abstraction called the common interest, the public good, the public safety, ... where all real wills cancel each other in that other abstraction which bears the name of the will of the people. ... this so-called will of the people is never anything else than the sacrifice and the negation of all the real wills of the population; just as this so-called public good is nothing else than the sacrifice of their interests."

obviously these harsh words are not directed at the outpouring of Kung-Fu Panda and Marvel superhero films, but if you tone it down a few notches it sort of applies.
There is still some CryEngine related stuff left: https://github.com/o3de/o3de/tree/development/Code/Legacy

But it's getting less and less every day.
You mean how does the last planet get ejected? Well, that's an interesting question, actually. Because of the inherent stability of the 2 body system, the last planet gets ejected some ~50 billion years after the others.

The authors' simulation takes into account the fact that a star comes close enough to the Solar System to have some tangible effect every 23M years or so. It's the cumulative effect of these stellar flybys that eventually nudges the last planet out of the system.
Context: O3DE is an open source (Apache 2) AAA game engine based on an updated Amazon Lumberyard

I've had the opportunity to work with O3DE over the past few months at work and I'm very excited to see where it goes.

There are two pieces of context if you don't work in the games industry (when I came in from an 'open source' background these surprised me):

1. the best game engine tech in the industry is proprietary (the biggest players are Unreal and Unity, lots of studios have purpose-built ones), there's relatively little open source [0]

2. in a games studio, the workflow of your company orients around the workflows of the game engine [1]

These two things combine in quite unfortunate ways, to the point where EA mandated the use of its own in-house engine...with mixed results so far [2][3]. Smaller players have three options: a) suck it up, b) use an open source alternative (i.e. Godot), c) get caught in the tarpit of "build your own engine"

O3DE has an opportunity to shake things up - particularly because of how modular it aims to be. At Hadean, our interest is in the networking layer (to drop in as netcode for Aether, our distributed simulation engine) as well as the 'core' simulation layer (to integrate with Aether in order to scale O3DE games/simulations across multiple machines). While doing all this, we will probably 'get involved' and contribute, so that our usage doesn't drift too far from mainline.

Anyway, this is all very early days - it's just a developer preview, and the flows are a bit rough. It'll be a while before we see if this changes things (I'm hopeful!), but major credit to the people at Amazon who have made it happen so far!

p.s. a checkout with deps, plus fresh compile of O3DE, plus a new project that you've opened once (to process assets) will set you back 100-150GB at my last check - not unexpected if you're used to compiling Unreal!

I didn't express an opinion on that. I simply posited why the privacy policy is likely written as such.
The presentation video says it is “multiplatform”, but then in the download page:

> O3DE requires Windows 10 64-bit (versions 1809, 10.0.17763 or later)
> What's the point of interstellar colonization?

Ultimately it's to claim matter, which is the ultimate limiting factor in how long a civilization lives. For example, you talk about engrossing digital worlds. Well, those worlds require energy and energy means matter.

To be clear we're talking on truly staggering time frames here where a trillion years is a mere blink of an eye [1][2].

> I'm upset, not surprised. Does evil suddenly become totally OK and cool just because I know it exists? Of course not.

Also, nothing surprising [to someone who's "participated in the process of hiring high-end firms to do lobbying work"] != nothing surprising [to the general public].

Also, it's annoying when someone deflects a statement (implicit or otherwise) about what ought to be with a statement about what is.

Your question comes loaded with the assumption that all energy production is equal. In reality, energy harvested from hydro or geothermal may have lots of value for proof of work processes, but they don't have lots of value for someone living far away from the hydro or geothermal plant.
Listing a bunch of specification languages and toolchains is not, at all, an answer to how needing to have both the source code and tooling for something coded from specs is different from having to do the same for any compiled language.
Public keys identify wallets. Key X tries to double spend, it is detected, proof propagates across network, nodes vote to insert into the consensus ledger a public record that key X has been "dis-trusted". The network thenceforth rejects transactions from wallet identified by key X.

Now key X has been dis-trusted.

I always feel so confused by--and skeptical of--these kinds of brain implant technologies.

It says: "The chip then automatically triggers a light beam to stimulate the region, activating neurons that can override pain signals."

Isn't that potentially stimulating millions or even hundreds of millions of neurons? We don't know what each individual neuron is doing. How is it possible to do this without causing bizarre malfunctions of the brain at best, or completely lobotomizing someone at worst?
Tracing is at a different level of detail. For instance you can see which user and specific query is missing caches and spending a lot of time waiting for IO. Unless you inspect local variables while walking the stack I don't see how you'd get that just just profiling. But a combination would be preferable (some observability tools have started on this, e.g. the profiler will tell the tracer where add additional instrumentation).
So? A part of the population regards them as degenerate perverts in their own country as well.

What happens if the model tool company goes out of business?

What happens if the model tool company gets acquired and the new owner decides to raise the prices too much and some of their customers cannot afford to pay?

What happens to all of the generated source code produced by these tools when the business using the generated source code needs changes made, but no longer has the models or tools?

Yes, you need both specs and tools. Vendor lock-in can really bite, especially if your business depends on tools that are no longer available.
Please do!

But the best way to do this is (and the way consistent with this thread's narrative) is to to develop the final system before you tell the CEO. Oh, and best to have a supervisor for you who does the telling.
Sure, GPS SDR Sim[1] works just fine. You will want to be in an RF chamber of some kind not only to prevent the terminal from seeing natural GPS signals, but also to prevent you from screwing up the GPS in nearby satnav systems. Also because broadcasting on those bands on public airwaves is illegal as a private citizen.

Of course putting your satellite antenna inside of a RF chamber also prevents it from working, so this may not be a viable long term strategy. Plus the terminal is undoubtedly using the GPS coordinates to calculate the antenna steering profile so you won't be able to lock on if your GPS is wrong. But since all they want to do is enable access to dump the firmware this probably isn't an issue.

There were some discussion among people who want to invest in solar farms. A major hurdle is the interconnection into the grid. There're lots of regulation and large fee to transmit electricity through the gird. From the people who have done it, they just chose not to connect to the grid but sell the electricity directly to the local users, like a local plant. It's quite lucrative with all the tax credits and the sales of green credits while the electricity income was minuscule in comparison. The limitation is they have to be near some major electric users and totally relying on the few users.

With bitcoin mining, it's possible to run a solar farm to mine the coins while disconnected from the grid. I'd imagine it's quite competitive without all the interconnected fees.

Hey, a couple of thoughts:

I think you identified the tradeoff correctly. What I'm building is designed for when compute needs outweigh the data transfer overhead. This works for some applications and not others. In particular, I think my approach will work especially well for ML model training and web scrapers.

That being said, the fewer bytes transferred the better. Apart from colocating servers, there's not much I can do for the data. No matter what, it has to go over an ethernet cable. It's possible to cache source code though and is something I'm working on doing over multiple layers.

In your example, for preprocessing pipelines, Fastmap probably wouldn't make sense - or at least that's my instinct. In my experience, it's rare to see pipeline steps where the compute significantly outweighs the data transfer. I'd be curious to hear your problem though. I might have a blind spot?
Anyone who you'd be reading has engendered their own ideas. Of course all great minds are inspired by other great minds, but this kind of inspiration is not really what you said to begin with.

There is a stark difference between creating an idea indirectly inspired by great works, and just wanting to read someone's idea. Aristotle was inspired by Plato, but he did not defer thought to him, or wait to write Metaphysics until he had read someone "smarter" write about it.

If letting workers democratically manage corporations would actually be more efficient as this professor claims, why aren't they already doing that? This idea strikes me as non-sense. Start-ups with few employees do operate this way, but then they grow larger and it inevitably causes problems. That's how the rules of an organization get established.

I detect a strong "perpetual victim" complex from this interview. They interpret every aspect of our society in terms of who is supposedly being victimized by it. That's really the fundamental problem with the left these days. My advice to anyone who has this sort of perspective about things is stop seeing yourself as a victim. If you're an American, you actually have a pretty good life and you'd be better off concerning yourself with what you're going to make of the opportunities that you have.

I think there could be "IT security codes" just as there are "building codes" to enforce security good practices. But "survive impact from a 747" is not part of our building codes, and similarly "be resilient to targeted, state sponsored cyberwarfare" should not the responsibility of the individual.

It's kind of quandary. "allow umpteen third parties to update their crap into your system" really is the current "security standard". And it's a standard that's gone along with the entirety of outsourcing as approach to cost-effectiveness. It's hard to be sympathetic to the organizations that have lived and died by this. On the other hand, you're right. One can't do this company by company, one needs standards.

The question is whether the same companies that are now suffering would be complaining tomorrow if actual standards were imposed.
