RTSs went off the deep end catering to competitive multiplayer, and that's where I stopped caring.

You can just play single-player Starcraft 1 or Age of Empires or Red Alert against the AI or the campaigns, and it's a fun little experience.

Aren't most things overly expensive in the beginning, until the company can make enough profit to ramp up production? Tesla cars come to mind.
Efficiency for efficiency's sake isn't congruent with a free society.
I know Apex Legends balancing is pretty aggregate stat based and with each release they monitor aggregate stats like what % of X character is on the winning team over all games or what % of X character killed Y character as well as different team compositions, along with similar stats for individual weapons, to try to balance the overall engagement statistics as much as possible.
I'd agree with you, but searching for "thc github" right now on Google at least shows me this project on 7th place in the search results, even if the repository is relatively young.

I'm sure you can do something similar by adding "Milk + $city" or "Milk + $street-name" to your other example.
> We've had advance in the field of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, but it still takes more electricity to do than you get from using the resulting fuel can generate.

That's not necessarily true. Several years ago I have read somewhere that industrially water is not split by electricity (at least directly) but by heating metal plates to >1500 degrees Celsius and spraying water on them, or something like that. That's tremendous heat, but nowadays it's possible to reach so high temperatures by just using solar energy [1].

The technology is not yet feasible, but who knows, where it will be in 10 years... It also took some time for solar panel manufacturing to reach today's efficiency numbers [2].

Notable Home Depot has motion sensitive cameras in the tool area that beep to remind me that the owners of the store think I'm a thief. They also remind me to buy my tools online.
> This course is about making you a better programmer.

It is a very bold statement. There is nothing in course about how to fight complexity. Knowledge how to traverse an ADT tree helps a little unfortunately. But it is a great classic CS course though.
ITYM Horizon: Forbidden West. They changed Aloy's face to make it less attractive and feminine since the first game, perhaps to check some "anti-sexualization" checkbox on some designer's list. No one had a problem with her appearance in the first game, but the sudden Seth Rogenization of her face was offputting, like an actor getting plastic surgery and looking not only worse, but very not like themself.
I disagree this should have been flagged. The authors do claim the tasks are "general" but they do have a lot in common with each other, including not-so-far-away misuse... which also happened with AlphaDogfight... and that was transferring from playing Go to flying jets. This is clearly not as big of a leap as the author points out.

Aka - notice that none of the agents in this example are folding proteins. They're all engaged in inherently combat-relevant skills. :)
I think your example is not a counterfactual, because in your world, landing gear actually didn't retract. Remember, whether something is counterfactual or not depends on what the facts are.

Had the landing gear been retracted in your hypothetical world, then it would be a counterfactual, but it probably wouldn't arise because it's not something out of ordinary - the landing gear retracting is a usual procedure. I think humans are more prone to make the mistake that is described in the article (stopping to search for the root cause) when they see a counterfactual conditional which premise is, in the factual, a procedural error (for example, "operator failed to monitor the disk space"). We see an error and mistake it for the root cause.

"The contract of sale contains a confidentiality provision that protects information relating to the buyer and price." Wow that sucks, would have been quite interesting to know how the government found a buyer and how much it was sold for.
Nice project @darermx! Just tried it on a few picture and it's impressive. To be fair this is not working as great for theses pictures as PhotoRoom background remover but still a good start!
Most women I know who struggled with breastfeeding were due to inability to have the baby correctly latched. Once the baby is latched, women shouldn’t have a problem with supply. Mother spends at most 500 calories extra when breastfeeding which most of the time comes from the weight that’s gained during pregnancy. I myself was able to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months after which we started introducing solids.
Not compared to CHF no, USD is on a stable but slow down for me.
I agree with the comment. However, if you are attractive enough, try to compliment a man, saying something like, "I like that haircut", and see how they react.

Let me expand a bit. If you are good looking enough and classy enough, women appreciate anything you say. They don't object to non-vulgar appreciations of their body either. Like, "look at those great legs" is much better than, "look at that a..". But we all know it.

Unfortunately, one of the problems of the "how tos", guides on get better at "charisma", and comments one can read on HN, it is that they ignore the elephant in the room, which is the "quality" of the do-er. It is life, less theoretical and more practical that something one reads in books or listen to in podcast. But of course, reality rarely sells, but we all prefer to think there's this new insight or this new book that, just as the latest watermelon/pineapple diet to lose weight for the beach won't oust the chief role of calorie reduction in losing weight, will get us past simple truths, such as in-shape is better than not, beautiful is better than not beautiful, more educated is better than less educated, more charming is better than less charming, and money is better than no money. In anything one tries to do or achieve, including giving and receiving compliments.

"Quality" is a concept/trait that I studied at length in my academic research in biology, and it is difficult to treat since "circularity" (the animal got a better response because it is of better quality or it is a better quality because it got a better response?) makes it difficult to define the intrinsic or extrinsic nature of the causal effect.

Moving from classic servers to containers you get:

- Builds with fixed dependencies that never change. Rollback is easy

- Easy deployment of a prod environment on a local machine

- Fast deployment

- Easy automation (use version X with config Y)

With Kubernetes (or other derivates like Openshift) you get:

- Auto scaling

- Fail over

- Better resource usage if multiple environments are executed

- Abstraction of infrastructure

- Zero downtime deployment (biggest point for my company, we deploy >3 times per week)

There are applications that do not need Kubernetes or even containers, but is this list really nothing oO?

I can imagine that if you use Kubernetes just like a classic cluster it could seem like an unnecesarry added complexity but you gain a lot of things.
If they can't get 80% back, that's pretty bad. I was wondering how these marginal net negative numbers worked. If they're saying it's 95% back, then that's still higher than 80%.
That's awesome feedback, our ML engineers will be very proud :)
Anyone with a net worth over about 100m (and many a fir chunk lower) isn't working for money anymore. He hasn't retired to enjoy his wealth is imo because the jobs selection bias excludes the sorts of people who would do that
I want to make a point about "culture fit". "Culture fit" in a company typically comes down to "we like you" and the reason why people like other people is that they are like them. Similar age, background, whatever.

There are plenty of people who like each other that have nothing in common. The idea that the reason people like people is because they are like them just feels ridiculous to me, but maybe I am an outlier. Personally, the more someone is like me, the less I like them.

But the bigger, weirder argument you seem to be making is that you shouldn't hire people that you like. I would say life is too short to be spending it around people you don't like, if you can help it.

I say that it is very possible to hire only people you like, and still end up with a diverse workplace free from abuse. You just need to start with good leaders.

It doesn't always need to be expensive, but it also isn't always inexpensive upfront. And the comment you reply to makes a plea about the price.

Price doesn't mean you haven't changed a lot of lives either: In addition, a lot of folks that can't walk are covered by some sort of government-provided insurance. Unfortunately, it doesn't really help all that much because insurance limitations don't always cover everything or cover enough.

I'll also say that it is a lot for a single person/family: It isn't nearly as much at a daycare, school, physical therapy and other such things. I'd not be surprised if such places weren't their most common home.
I guess what I am saying is that the chance of triggering an eating disorder is so much smaller than the chance of making someone mildly pleased that it makes the risk not important unless you are aware of a problem already.
Genuinely curious...Why is it that "most of us" it's not? Because you don't like in the US? Or you live in an area w/ limited tech jobs? Or is it that you believe that all 3 criteria is unattainable?

8%...how is that over 30 years unrealistic? That is the historical going rate for the S&P since its inception...

Also I don't know why you threw in the words "post tax" as if it means something for dollar cost averaging. If you dollar cost average the S&P...even in a taxable brokerage account...the only thing you're taxed on is dividends. Your gains compound tax free....If you throw it in a 401k, where the max individual contribution is $19500 then nothing is taxed till you withdraw.

My example of $20k is drawn from a max of $19500 contribution (and hopefully you get employer matching) because ideally you are maxing out a 401k to get the tax benefits.
This looks non-terrible, unlike Slack threads or the abominations that are MS Teams and Google Chat. The thread is moved out of the main conversation view and gets its own entry nested under the channel.

This happened to me, moderating a server, while our only admin was on vacation.

I was able to remove "create thread" permissions from the default role, effectively turning threads off. But first I had to add a new role to grant myself those permissions. I also had to ask people who had created threads to please delete them because I still can't.
> This falls flat for me. So the implication is that there are no educated Chinese today with exposure to liberal democracy? I think we take for granted the supposed superiority of a system that empirically has delivered many recent failures.

I'm not saying "no exposure," I'm saying they were "better exposed" in the past. You can even see changes like that happening in Hong Kong now, under the new crackdown on civil liberties. For instance, the government is now tinkering with the curriculum of a "Liberal Studies" course in Hong Kong to make it more "patriotic."

> I think we take for granted the supposed superiority of a system that empirically has delivered many recent failures.

Would you trade Donald Trump, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and Repubicans for Xi Jinping and the CCP (and everything that entails)?
Great thing it works this way for mechanical tech.

For chemicals, that is, medicines, paying out of pocket is not impossible, but much harder. The $1500 you invested will likely last a number of years. Or it might be a month worth of prescription drugs; cheap generics do not exist for everything (and may sometimes be inferior).

I don't know a good way out of it. The U.S. medical insurance system sucks, but my friends from Germany and Netherlands report that theirs is even worse at providing any remotely advanced treatment.
> I agree thought that my original post was poorly worded and not specific enough about my perceived reception of female characters in video games. I was trying to incorporate "female main character" and "unattractive female characters" into one point and failed.

Fair enough, thanks for acknowledging as much. :)

> You are absolutely right that there are beloved female main characters, but they are almost always shown and viewed in a sexualized manner rather than as a human being. And yes, there are definitely 'sexualized' men (God of War) but they never seem to be explicitly in there as sexual objects rather than as part of the story. Like, if you took Lara Croft out and replaced her with a red square, would that game be regarded as the same? Probably not.

Even still, Lara Croft seems like every bit as much a "human being" as the average male main character? And I don't buy your "red square" example--it's not like you could replace any of the ripped shirtless dudes in various video games with a red square and have the same experience either.

I actually believe that female characters are probably sexualized a bit more often than male characters, and male characters are regarded as objects of violence quite a lot more than female characters. But if there is a loser here, it's not obvious to me that it's the female gender.
They’ve already been struggling with this too because everyone knows they pay like shit and work people to death
>> fifa, CoD, and one other title that got the most advertising that year.

Then I am very out of touch with the average having never bought any of those games, nor do I own a console. My recent purchases would be the Valve index and subnautica. The only "AAA" title in my steam library is ES:Oblivion. I'm probably not Blizzard's target market, but I am also not a broke kid. Give me a game I want to play and I will pay for it.
I love how the government dug through the guy's entire life just to find something they could nab him on and straight up destroyed him. That's some G stuff!
Hasn't WoW been "hemorrhaging" users since the days of Wrath 11–13 years ago?
True, but I think you missed my point a little.

The NSO group has been entrusting its vulnerabilities to people who would happily embezzle if it is some sufficient amount of money. If the bounty is ~2X these people's typical price in many countries that are NSO Group clients, then it is remarkable these bugs aren't being burned as a form of embezzlement. Your description of tranched payment risk only makes that more remarkable.
I'm wondering if that was a factor in the marginal net negative calculations. That could be enough to switch them positive.
Yeah I think once I got to like, 10 million I'd just pull a Joe Rogan and do whatever I felt like at that point and not work a proper job anymore.

And I'm a long way away from getting that, unless one of my investments pulls a GME or something.
Interesting. The designers can probably analyze the rate at which the boat righted to quantify its stability.
Some cars/brands have much worse battery life. The Nissan Leaf is notoriously awful for this, unless they've fixed it. Tesla is great, and the Chevy Bolt (which I own one, love it) retains most of its battery life over time.
Tracing Uncovers Half-Truths in Slack’s CI Infrastructure
Abstract:

Traditional monitoring tools like logs and metrics were necessary but not sufficient to debug how and where systems failed in CI, which relies on multiple, interconnected critical systems (e.g. GHE, Checkpoint, Cypress).

In this talk, Frank Chen shares how traces gave us a critical and compounding capability to better understand where, when, how, and why faults occur for our customers in CI. We share how shared tooling for high-dimensionality event traces (using SlackTrace and SpanEvents) could significantly increase our velocity to diagnose code in flight and to debug complex system interactions. We go from stories with early incidents that motivated further investment throughout Slack’s internal tooling teams to stories about gains in performance and resiliency throughout our infrastructure.

Well, sure, those things exist. What I'm getting at is that the % of it that happens purely because I'm -male- (or another natural property about me) is basically zero. Either they're just being belligerent in general or they perceive me to be underperforming (rightly or wrongly).

Whereas when I play with women who e.g. use a mic, very frequently it's like a switch gets flipped and people start being weird, overtly sexual, or just flat out insanely critical of every little thing the female players do. If we start losing the round (in e.g. Overwatch), they start blaming the female players unfairly, etc.

Obviously this is all anecdata but from everyone that I've spoken to it's a very common experience, hence most of my female friends just eschewing the mic entirely or only playing with specific groups instead of general matchmaking.
There is a 90% chance there are ruthless, public, broad and well funded astroturf campaign for and against most of your impactful opinions.

Operation Fox Hunt
Just to warn you it's a very pessimistic take on human space adventure, so has the potential to bum you out
I agree with most of your comment but I want to add one level of nuance.

There's a bad way to do "culture fit" which you describe. There's also a good way: list the things you want in your culture (openness to criticism, appetite for learning, honesty, unafraid of challenges, or what have you) and then you construct questions specifically to find those things out, grade the result and weigh together into a culture fit score.

The good way to determine culture fit is to ask the candidate about the specific things you want in your culture, not go by general feeling because then you're indeed measuring something your biased System 1 likes, which is probably just the chimpanzee in your brain trying to determine how likely your blood relations with this person is.
Off the top of my head no, most of my insight came from observing addiction in others, and experimenting over the course of a decade. However, the two books which I guess started me on this journey are Why We Get Fat by Garry Taube [0] and The 4 Hour Body by Tim Ferris [1]. Both of these books take a scientific approach to diet (which is governed by habit and addiction, after all).

I will say this, I am convinced that for a lot of addictions, all you can do is substitute one addiction for another. But if the new addiction is something healthy, then I think that is fine. But if you do become a diet addict, keep it scientific, don't follow every blogspam diet fad.

For social-media, I substituted a typing instructor game. So when ever I felt the urge to go doomscrolling or something, I would fire up a typing game instead. I keep a windows VM on hand just to play TypingMaster. It takes 3-5 minutes to complete one of the training sessions (which is probably less than you would have wasted on twitter). This helps kill the urge, and break the cycle. Plus it makes me a better typist. And when you can do 90wpm on QWERTY, switch to DVORAK.

If you have a common chemical addiction like smoking, coffee, pain killers, alchohol then the only safe approach is the taper/step down. Measure how much you take now and then commit to reducing that amount by about 10% per week. So you smoke 18 a day instead of 20 in your first week. That's not so hard, right? Whatever you do, NEVER try cold turkey quitting any chemical, at least not before seeing a doctor. Chemical withdrawals range from terrible headaches for coffee, to deadly DTs from alcohol.

Same way Apple is a computer company but Foxconn does most of the building of said computers?
From what I've heard, cost of building a smaller vehicle isn't that much less than a larger one since they tend to have a similar number of parts. So you may save some material costs but the cost of putting it together is similar. And the margins on a larger vehicle tend to be higher because people are willing to pay more for it.
A comment a teacher made about Orwell and the British Empire sticks with me. Orwell didn't like what the British people would have to become to keep it.

Bonus with Israel, what they are trying to keep is economically and geopolitically worthless.

That's a good point. Most people that would retire at $100M would probably retire at $10M, and thus wouldn't make it to that $100M level.
Speculation? Her former boyfriend wrote a blog post detailing their relationship (and lying that she slept with a game journalist, something he later said had no evidence of), someone posted it on 4chan, they tried to spin it as "ethics in game journalism" discussion (which never made any sense since he never reviewed any of the games she worked on). That's all there is to it, and it's pretty well documented.
Even with two kids it starts to add up. Two car seats in a compact car basically means you can’t fit an adult in the third row. It means you can’t squeeze in a third seat for play dates or carpool. With a double stroller you’re going to be hard-pressed on packing space for even a weekend vacation or camping trip. Most of the families I know with two kids (myself included) have one smaller car for the daily commute / school, and a second larger car or SUV for road trips and weekends.
We started as a mobile app and the subscription model was the obvious choice here. Most of our pro users are hardcore PhotoRoom users that will need this on multiple occasions.

Now for one off users this is a good question, especially on the web where this could make more sense. I know some tools (remove.bg) that have this system so we'll think about it.

Thanks!
