Gotcha. Haven't played CS since source so I wasn't sure. Are aimbots a common thing there nowadays? I don't remember seeing them much back in the day. Sure some of that is due to selection bias from good private owned servers. I would suspect that they exist but are not common.

On the other hand, PUBG does have Battle Point rewards linked to performance. And there it is very common. Almost guaranteed to see a cheater every 10 matches or so. And there was an easy means to sell those rewards. Contrast that against Sea of Thieves. A game specifically about PvP and stealing loot from other players. I don't know that I have ever encountered a cheater there. But there is very little incentive to do so. There just isn't many vectors to turn virtual work into real world profit.

Seems to me that the lower the barrier of entry together with the higher the real world value of the rewards\drops gives you a clear scale of the cheat potential\incentive\effort. I think there will always be a small percentage of those doing it for the LULZ. You can combat that by raising the barrier to entry. F2P games seem to have a higher rate of these types.

When the reward system cultivates an environment ripe for abuse, it moves from occasionally annoying to game killing epidemic.
Or Jira tickets. When you submit two support cases in a few days and the number increased by 20 while the company is still a startup, you are pretty sure to have no decent answer.
I think 'simply' is precisely the wrong adjective.

Plus you'd still need spare parts. Why would I build a robot to swap parts, when I can simply put all of the spare parts into the telescope and swap over to them electronically?
Highly depends on which country you're based on I think.

But yeah, it probably is
If I'm not mistaken they are built from scratch, but that part wasn't built by me. IMO the by far hardest part is actually writing the docs. :)
Starting: often true (or at least a big part of it).

But how to change your ways so you do start, more reliably? I think there are ideas that are more effective than the message "just do it" (sorry if that mischaracterizes your position -- in fact I agree "commit to 10 minutes" is not a bad place to start, but not the only useful idea to be had by a long way).
"Entity Component Systems" are common in game engine architecture, and there are a lot of variations on them - but they are a high-level architecture for making modular behavior in games. Generally they were thought of as "better than Object Oriented, because they very very heavily favor composition over inheritance."

The idea is that everything in your game - like Players, NPCs, Bullets - are Entities. Entities are simply an ID. That's their only property. Nothing else.

But there are Components - they have the data. For example, you might have a `PositionComponent` that has an `X Position` and `Y position` property. And maybe a `MassComponent` that has a property `Mass`. Somewhere in the framework (like a database table), a given Component will be related to a given Entity ID. The Entity therefore becomes a "bag of Components" through the relations.

Finally there are Systems. They do stuff with the data. One system might be `GravitySystem`. It doesn't care directly about `Entity`s, but can query the relations. It might ask for anything that has BOTH a `PositionComponent` and a `MassComponent` (it doesn't know which Entity it is for - it only gets the Components). It takes any `PositionComponent`s it gets and applies gravity: `component.y += gravity`.

The effect is that you can mix and match Components in weird and wonderful ways without having to hard-code behavior and rules for certain entities. You can obviously achieve this with other architectures too - but that's the primary goal of this one.
Watson was more of a Marketing name and concept than a product. The actual Watson tech, while not bad, was not a general purpose AI - all it did was assemble a bunch of inferences from a large corpus of text.

At the time, it was better at that than most systems, but it still produced a fair number of howlers when reviewed by humans. (I briefly looked at Watson as an alternative in evaluating technology for a new learning system some years ago.)
I remember when this telescope was first launched and deployed, and how its initial lackluster performance was a great source of mockery and derision of "government overspending for nothing" and a general disdain for space-based science. Since then, it has absolutely revolutionized our understanding of the universe and provided untold inspiration for millions (The famous Deep Field image being the prime example). It is a crowning achievement for NASA and should be used as an example any time some elected official questions the spending on research instruments like this.

Thats great news! I wonder though, if there will ever be a need for another repair mission, could ie. Crew Dragon support such a mission or has that possibility passed with the retirement of the shuttles?
It’s important to make a distinction between “socialized” care, “free” care, and “universal” care. A healthcare plan that is described by one of those terms is not necessarily described by all of them (even outside of the US)

The US has a large number of socialized healthcare programs, several free healthcare programs, but nothing that is 100% universal. Americans don’t have any reservations about paying for healthcare for the poor, elderly, veterans, etc. People in the US generally hate the idea of anyone qualifying who makes more money than they do, which is one of the reasons why universal plans don’t go over well. The other reason is that a truly universal plan would probably uproot the existing health insurance system, which scares some people who are satisfied with the status quo.

Our existing systems are mainly a result of compromise:

> “let’s have a healthcare plan that covers everyone”

> “you want to tax the working class American to pay for healthcare for the rich? And bankrupt they insurance companies that insure our middle class? And kill jobs?”

> “ok, let’s compromise. Let’s make a plan that covers [insert group of people that voters will feel sorry for]”

And repeat about every decade or so.

That’s how America’s fragmented healthcare system was born.
> It's just they simply didn't.

They've wanted to go in this direction for many years and so far failed. We've had meetings with them over the years and both times their offering was uncompetitive. I'm not sure what the sales people are supposed to do if the core technologies fabless customers want are not available.

I lot of people don't realise Intel are already in the foundary business. I'm not surprised their customers are not shouting about it - why would you want to tell everyone you are using an arguably failed process.

This is a racing game, screenshots are the wrong medium. Watch the trailer, or look at it in motion on the real console. Also, the screenshots really do suck.

> with a metric ton of post-processing FX to hide the textures' low resolution

That doesn't matter at all to me if the result looks good. Of course it cheats. Many switch games (mostly?) don't even use anti-aliasing. And here is a fast racing game, 1080p@60, with a bunch of effects that manages to look good. The "ton of post-processing FX" is not free. It was important to show what the switch could do on launch, even before developers learn how to optimize for the console.
Well, that's going to make AMD reconsider the wisdom of spinning off its fab biz as GF, now isn't it?
Who are you going to sell it to? Making those connections to state actors only makes sense if you are finding a lot of these.

Not taking part and allowing that system to be exploited is the safest easiest way to fix these programs. The only legal way.
I think that NSA and similar organizations would be interested in breaking encryption algorithms. Imagine some old archive encrypted by RSA which contains useful data.

Also that means that encrypting anything valuable with quantum-unresistant algorithm and storing it in an unsafe place is not wise even today.
Mitmproxy is so awesome, I use it all the time! Can recommend it for anyone who needs to do some fiddling with HTTP(S) traffic for debugging / reverse engineering purposes.

I'm slightly too much of a GUI person to use it in a "explorative" phase, then I'm more a fan of Charles/Proxyman, but whenever I wanna modify the traffic or do some scripting to i.e log certain traffic, I reach for Mitmproxy.
What tech are you thinking of? Remember it's not just the distance but the speed. How would we course correct a relativistic object once the target was close enough to estimate the desired change?

If SHTF, then we should think about old-school methods based on animal extraction. The process is involved, but still approachable.

My daughter did a project in her high school chemistry class on the entire process, describing the steps involved - I don't have that paper handy, but if a high school student can work it out it's probably available elsewhere. She later told me that this project was part of her post-apocalypse-family-survival-plan;)

> The sequencing part is pretty much solved.

DNA sequencing is still slow and very expensive. On the scales you're talking about it's just not worth it.

I think I agree at a high-level that there is a huge reservoir of demand for this technology. But it's also possible that solving protein folding and similar research will simply cease to be a bottleneck for that demand, and people will be out of jobs.
Unsurprisingly, I'm biased in the direction of the Computer Science flavor of mathematics, which leads me to say: Of course the Axiom of Choice is useful. Why wouldn't an axiom that allows you to wave your hand and produce infinite amounts of information that you have no mechanism to produce any of be useful? Of course it's useful to invoke infinite amounts of information from thin air. Indeed, uncountably infinite amounts of information, or any aleph-X you please amounts of information.

I agree and understand that it's not a matter of "right" or "wrong", but I do find myself looking a bit askance at "proofs" of statements in which a mathematician writes the equivalent of a few kilobytes of proof statements (in a suitable encoding), which has to be paired with an infinite number of unknowable bits, which the mathematician is not only incapable of providing in practice but often incapable of providing even in theory, to be "true". Mathematicians often claim to find the axiom aesthetic; I find it to be quite the contrary. When you look at proofs from an information-theoretic point of view, the Axiom of Choice is literally an infinitely-sized wart on the side of any proof that uses it.

> Theorem: There is no bijection between ℕ and {0, 1}*.

So no bijection between \bb{N} in an unspecified number base and some binary strings that could represent integers? That's a nonstarter for me.

Please read my article. Thanks.
It's an easy concept. A lot of people might not like it. But I would like it.
Maybe more in a sense like "I care about your well being, as I'll exploit you and if you die then I can't exploit you anymore." kind of way.

It's not even lying.

Knowing what will go wrong is hard to predict. Having the capacity to have robots service satellites, etc would be extremely useful.

Also, the vision is that robots can build on Mars, for example.

“Simply” means fund the research. My comment was from 7 years ago.

We also need the robots here on earth for dangerous tasks

We’d make impressive progress over each decade with more effort.

Constructively, a proof that a set is inhabited is exactly an element of that set, so if we know the set is inhabited we can just pick that element.

OTOH, if we only know the set is non-empty we cannot pick an element from it. Because assume we could. Let P be a truth value and let S={x in {1} | P}. From not not P, prove S is non-empty, so by assumption we can pick an element of it, so it is inhabited. If it is inhabited, then P. We've just proved P from not not P.
I’m not so sure. A lot of people don’t remember this, but GW Bush ran to the left of Al Gore on climate policy in 2000. Bush proposed using the clean air act to reduce the CO2 output of power plants to voters in September 2000 [1].

Christine Todd Whitman was nominated as administrator of the EPA to enact the policy. Lobbying by the fossil fuel industry changed the direction of this policy and because of push back, Bush took the opposite direction of the policy he campaigned on.

An acquaintance of mine who works in the industry (not at SpaceX) called Raptor a “scifi engine.”

For a lot of purposes, Starship should make it extremely cheap to send propellant from Earth. $10/kg in LEO. Cheaper than any lunar mining proposal I’ve seen.

That said, I hope we do make propellant off-Earth eventually.
I'd call myself an introvert and I'd still rather not be the centre of attention in a group of 2.
Ah yes, let's simply do something very hard.

Huble was never meant for this, if you look at all the systems present on ISS for automated docking, none of that is on Hubble. Access to modules inside Hubble was never meant for robots with very limited dexterity either. Being able to do something like that would be a huge feat of engineering in my opinion (and extremely expensive).

I am fairly certain it would be faster and cheaper to just build a new one from scratch.

And even if you managed to make a robot to service Hubble, it then would only be able to service Hubble and nothing else. JWT for example is completely different.

On the long term you are right that this is a capability we need, but this needs to be taken into consideration while building the telescope/satellite/whatever: automated docking mechanism, standard ports and dimension of parts etc. etc.

What if the system that swaps parts fails?
Yes, and which is why most benchmarks today are somewhat misleading as well.

My personal laptop's CPU is Intel i7-9750H. I always run it with turbo boost disabled for predictable, sustained performance. Turbo boost is weird as in it can lead to a sub-par user experience (lag) when your processor throttles.

Interestingly enough I can simultaneously compile a ~250k LOC purescript project & attend a google meets call with TB disabled but not with it enabled. (This is on MBP-16)
Committing for 10 minutes is what we call the 10 Minute Rule, and yes, it's super effective. But like you say, sometimes there are different mental blocks that need to be tackled before one is ready to commit, even if for 10 min. That's what the rest of the course is about.

Does crew dragon have the appropriate airlock to allow for a spacewalk?
Oracle does this too, so do some other databases.

It's quite a natural optimisation.
Fortunately, it is possible to imagine other scenarios. For example; it would take relatively little energy to deflect such a missile and there is likely to be a lot of time to detect it's incoming presence assuming that some sort of planet-like mass is required to host all the technology to create a relativistic speed accelerating engine.

It's not common yet enough to really merit its own emoji, but it will probably become more common as more people feel comfortable coming out as trans but still want to make families with their partners. Mostly, I suspect, it's about making room in the space for symmetry.

The fact that some of the HFT software is (or was) written in Haskell is pretty amazing because when you first look at it, it does not appear to be a good language for being very fast.

How would we ever get there?

The cost to build and maintain powerplants is expensive - whether it's solar, wind, hydro, or nuclear. This cost needs to be amortized over the life of the plant. It's hard to imagine this getting to less than $0.05 / kWh.

Construction costs alone make Nuclear Energy cost ~$0.08 / kWh even in China where construction is relatively cheap. Even if we get Fusion energy, AFAIK it's unlikely the construction will be substantially cheaper.

Obviously if anything was free - people would abuse it. You would need to build endless powerplants (which cost money) to provide free energy for people to launch rockets and mine asteroids and produce fertilizer and desalinate water...

We can put much larger payloads into orbit now and will be even moreso with Starship.

>block users who derail conversations and use emoji to convey emotions in text

Blocking people who use emojis seems extreme. In fact, an emoji-based rating system could improve conversation by replacing the urge to comment lightly with a "thoughtful" or "informative" label. They needn't have any weight other than their visibility.

Some old-style forums implemented this to cut down on noisy "I agree" posts, and it worked. Maybe reducing conversation surface area reduces chances for conflict.
Yet somehow, we pay more for far worse care. Funny how that works.

I also never understood this. It almost seems as if interrogations aren't for discovery of information but moreso "we have this lead and we're going to beat you into submission until you confirm our lead".

You see it all the time with wrongful convictions and people signing confessions to crimes they didn't commit. I often wonder in these cases, do the officers, does law enforcement in this case really care who did it? If you bring someone in and interrogate them for 12+ hours and eventually they give you the answer you want to hear, do they never stop and ask themselves if the reason the person gave that answer is simply to make whatever they were doing stop?

It seems like some of these investigations the point isn't to solve the crime, but to dot the I's and cross your T's. It seems like actual public safety is an afterthought as long as you "catch the criminal" on paper.
The Hubble Telescope is a gift that keeps on giving. I'm starting to wonder if the thing will survive the heat/entropy death of the universe.
