> In summary, I'm surprised at how few OSS games there are considering how much effort goes into modding. Does anyone in the industry (or otherwise) have insight into what's holding us back here?

I'm not in the industry, but I'm a programmer who's tried and abandoned various game projects.

For me, it always comes down to the fact that game design is a deep and totally different skill set that I don't possess. You can't really wing it, or you can but you're unlikely to end up with a game that's fun and balanced.

Same thing can be said for why so few OSS projects have solid documentation or excellent graphic/UI design.

EDIT: I'd also guess that's why the few OSS games you see are usually clones of more popular ones, as is the case with Widelands. By cloning and iterating on a proven game, you don't have to playtest, refine mechanics, etc.
If Amazon is so big that your purchase is meaningless, then the problems of the world are also so big that your donations are probably meaningless.

If your donations have some tiny bit of meaning to them, then removing a tiny bit of business from Amazon and paying your local shopkeeper probably also has meaning.
You must be missing the gamer market that's positively starving for affordable dedicated GPUs.
EV maintenance is actually almost funny. Here is the maintenance for most EVs:

Every 10k miles:

1. check all the filters and fluids
2. rotate tires
> An advertisement doesn’t oblige the advertise to engage in a specific transaction with a customer.

While that's probably true, an advertisement does oblige the advertiser to actually be offering those things at the terms advertised to some non-misleading degree. Like, if an advertiser said "selling cars for $500" and they didn't actually have any $500 cars for sale, that's false advertising. If they had cars that were listed at $500, but they refused to sell them to anybody, that would also be false advertising.

> they wouldn’t be able to find anyone to testify that that PepsiCo actually thought they would be selling a Harrier jet

That's irrelevent. What is relevent is whether reasonble viewers outside the company might actually believe that. I think it would be perfectly reasonable for someone who didn't know much about harrier jets to think it might be a plane they could obtain and fly. It doesn't really seem like an "obvious" joke unless you know a lot about harrier jets - which most people don't.

What is the bank's incentive to offer this? Answer that and you'll have the answer to your question.
Agree, but I’m theorizing it wouldn’t be easy to organize open source development for them from scratch.
This is an oft-repeated canard. The fact is that "OOP/Imperative" happens to align with how the human brain works, and how to a large extent reality works. Some aspects of FP also align with reality and mental processes (e.g. pure functions, comprehensions), but others do not (e.g. closures, monads, lambdas).

I think FP advocates (I'd count myself as one, sometimes) like to gloss over this aspect and instead blame the student for being too stupid, or for having been indoctrinated in the dark side too much.

FP I believe would be better received without the smugness surrounding "you're too dumb or too much of a dinosaur to understand". Be more like Dave Farley.
Yes, thank you! We guarantee 24h turnaround Mon-Fri. The designers matched keep working with the same brands for a long time (we have 18+ months client already, one of the early ones) so they need weekends for sure.
Much of that is something like a quarter century out of date.
The cool thing about phones is that you can MITM yourself and see what apps are sending, assuming they don't certificate pin (which TikTok doesn't). The person that reported this during the beta period didn't find any evidence when doing so.

Plaid does support this:

https://plaid.com/docs/auth/coverage/same-day/

Their UI makes it really hard to find this option though, because Plaid makes their money from scraping your transaction history, which doesn't work if you do the micro-transaction approach.

As a consumer, I'm not a big fan of Plaid's business model. But to be fair to them, a lot of the security issues come from the fact that until very recently, no US banks had any form of API to allow delegation of access. Based in large part on the success of Plaid, this is starting to change; some institutions are banning Plaid from using the password-based flow, and are replacing this with a more secure OAuth flow:

https://plaid.com/docs/link/oauth/

This is the correct solution to the technical problem at hand. It'll benefit other systems too; for example it should be possible for open-source accounting software to use this flow to export your transaction history in a maintainable way, which previously relied on scraping that's unfeasible for an OSS project to keep up with (but which Mint could afford to implement).

Hopefully the banks let you selectively grant permissions "can view my account list" and "can view my transaction list", or at least surface those permissions, so that consumers can be aware of what they are giving away -- I'd wager that most end users have no idea that Plaid is slurping their transaction history, and would be even more shocked that it's maintaining ongoing access to continue doing the same.
Honestly, just for fun :D

Yes, I use my browser mainly for work, but product demos are usually a bit boring. Also, I was hoping for a little Vim vs Emacs flame war (which didn't happen) and "Backwards Hippo" is just great :D
or, if you’re like most people, you’ve probably just smiled and nodded while thinking to yourself “What the hell does that mean?”

If you do that, you failed the test. People who use inside jargony things love to explain them, and love to be asked what they mean. Also, they can usually tell when you don't pick up on it.

When I interview someone I'll throw in something company specific, that I know they won't understand, just to see if they'll ask me what I meant. I don't want to work with someone that is afraid to admit they don't know something.
NVidia can support anything because they have a PTX-translation layer between cards, and invest heavily on PTX.

Each assembly language from each generation of cards changes. PTX recompiles the "pseudo-assembly" instructions into the new assembly code each generation.

---------

AMD has no such technology. When AMD's assembly language changes (ex: from Vega into RDNA), its a big compiler change. AMD managed to keep the ISA mostly compatible from 7xxx GCN 1.0 series in the late 00s all the way to Vega 7nm in the late 10s... but RDNA's ISA change was pretty massive.

I think its only natural that RDNA was going to have compiler issues.

---------

AMD focused on Vulkan / DirectX support for its RDNA cards, while its compute team focused on continuing "CDNA" (which won large supercomputer contracts). So that's just how the business ended up.
> Proof lacks that it actually works that way

I mean everyone know it doesn't really work that way.

The actual question is: does viewing the average actor as trying to perfectly optimise their utility function using all the information available constitute a good estimation of how actors work in aggregate and does it yield accurate and interesting predictions?

The real insight of Simon in Models of Man is not that actors are not in fact perfectly rational. It's that you can actually model the limits of actors while keeping a fairly rigorous and manageable formalization.
True. Jargon File should get an impartial steward who reverses ESR's vandalism.
Yeah lol nothing changes. Addicted to seeing what others are doing and how he can look like he's better or something.

Any basic-azz person is still gonna be basic even if they make a milli.
Nvidia doesn't price any cards other than the founder's editions which you'll notice they both drastically cut down on availability for and also didn't do at all for the "price sensitive" mid-range tier.

Nvidia's pricing as a result is completely fake. Like the claimed "$330 3060" in fact starts at $400 and rapidly goes up from there, with MSRP's on 3060's as high as $560.

My guess is corruption. Barring that tho, they probably usually had asterisks everywhere.
>Tesla has stated that it want to have cars last a million miles.

They should really have a better attitude towards independent repair shops if they want to do that.
>> They used to check your clipboard the whole time too.

That's a design error on the UI side. An app should not have read access to the clipboard, it should have the ability to accept data from the clipboard when the user pastes it.
Chase is the only big US bank I'm aware of which lets you give Oauth tokens with limited permissions to third parties.
I agree. I like Monero, but it will never be state sanctioned. I don't much care for the state.
> My current favorite is OpusModus https://www.opusmodus.com. It is a commercial app, which will dissapoint some, but is worth the price to me for the level of quality and capabilities.

Personally I love seeing this kind of niche (I assume?) commercial software. It's great that people can make a living working on this kind of thing.
So the lottery is purely luck. You're saying the opposite so basically a startup is 0% luck.

I read somewhere (truly forgot where, sorry) that we humans are mostly just lazy, that we avoid thinking as best as we can and rather gravitate towards that (people, circle, or news) which confirms what we already believe so that we do not have to think.

"Confirmation Bias" does not quite capture it. Really just laziness. :)

The other part, being decisive... I can definitely relate to that. I noticed that I often have a hard time making decisions and realized it's because I tend look at the world in terms of what I can possibly lose instead of looking at something new in terms of excitement.
Exactly. There are plenty of people that just want to upgrade an old GPU and anything modern would be a massive improvement.

I'm still rocking a 1070 for 1080p/60 gaming and would love to jump to 4K/60 gaming but just can't convince myself to buy a new GPU at current prices.
The beginnings of a great working relationship. Good job Jeff
The 2.3l Ecoboost now has about 350 hp. Modern cars have insane power.
It only “leaks” your ip if you are trying to use webrtc features with a vpn, otherwise web rtc is perfectly fine to use without concern for most people.
They will get 63 Dooms/Sec.
They also seem to be the most willing to open up their GPU sharding API, GVTG, based on their work with their existing Xe GPUs. The performance of their implementation in their first generation was a bit underwhelming, but it seems like the intention is there.

If Intel is able to put out something reasonably competitive and that supports GPU sharding it could be a game changer. It could change the direction of the ecosystem and force Nvidia and AMD to bring sharding to their consumer tier cards. I am stoked to see where this new release takes us.

Level1Linux has a (reasonably) up to date state of the GPU ecosystem that does a much better job outlining the potential of this tech.

Ask HN: What is your work chair/desk?
I've learned that investing in a good work chair is worth it after all, but is no surprise. Using anything less just exhausts the mind and body and limits how much work you can get done. Picking the right desk is also a factor, so feel free to comment on what your work desk is as well.

I'm curious what everyone's work chair/desk is that agrees with me on is? Personally I'm shopping around, but perhaps comments should have:

1. Price.

2. Model/Make.

3. Features.

4. Brief conclusion summarizing value.

Thanks in advance for any commentary, picking the right chair is surprising hard!
Well I think at the time, the narrative was pretty close to the reasoning overall. Americans and our government were raw and out of blood. It was the largest attack on home soil since Pearl Harbor. 9/11 was used to push a lot of freedoms out the window as well.

The narrative was definitely part of the reason. Dont forget we danced in the streets when OBL was finally killed decades later, which i found odd as an American..

However, Its been part of our foreign policy since WWII to always try and take any fight to the other homefront and not our own. And with this being, again, one of the larger attacks on our own soil..

But the ancillaries (having bases of operations on/near Pakistan and Iran and to some extent, Russia were probably also a heavy second. What with the Kashmir region largely considered a powder keg, and our weird love/hate relationship with Pakistan. Those definately werent a deterrent.
Indeed. And thanks! I needed a little morale booster now, for reasons unrelated to this topic.
Time isn’t free or infinite. You need to invest in tools and burn a bit too save time and move faster. Being too slow burns potential gains as well and has a cost
It's a useful thing to ask yourself periodically -- at work or "play", programming or woodworking -- "Wait, what am I actually trying to accomplish/build here?".
It is supposed to roll out this quarter, they gave me a $100 rebate check for not having it available at the time of delivery :)

Edit: Forgot to mention, it is an additional $600 option to get hands free driving feature.
>Of course a week or three isn’t that long, but there are real diminishing returns here.

I suspect you have to live and work in a place to really understand it. If you are wealthy and visiting a poor country there is virtually zero chance, you will always be too insulated from the reality.
"From an introductory-level psychology class, 51 volunteers (27 female, mean age 19.7 years) participated and received class credit."

I was going to go into detail about how absurd this intervention is in terms of scale of number of impacted neurons but really this sentence tells you everything you need to know about the quality and rigor of this work.
This may actually close the class divide a little.

The thing with privacy is the more wealthy you are, the more valuable it is. For example, if I want to sell something, I will want to target the wealthiest first. Same thing for scammers, and newspapers will follow celebrities. Who care about the poor, there is no money to extract from them.

So let's get back to the private shopper. A rich and famous man will want to hire a private shopper, because he knows that if he is found in a shop, he will be bothered by people who are after his money and fame. His privacy is worth a lot, to him and to others.

The private shopper is likely to be of a more modest status, he can go shopping without being bothered, he may be tracked by robots and end up with personalized ads, be part of some statistics, whatever, but no one will stop him for an autograph or some special favor.

So when the rich man pays the private shopper, with a little extra for his discretion, that's resources that go from the wealthy to the "rest of us".

The same can be said for loyalty cards. The one who can afford not to use loyalty card will earn the shop more profit (because no discount), meaning that it can offer bigger discounts to others.

It is as if a unit of privacy is proportional to your wealth. The amount of privacy a rich man will get by paying $1000, a poor man can get it for $1. In the same way that it is much cheaper to secure a penny than a gold bar, because no one will want to steal your penny.
Absolutely, I agree now that I see it, and these seem like numerous innocent-seeming footguns just waiting for abuse.

Add the not-too-far-fetched-seeming assumption that it’s fine to let the Internet define your environment variables, and it’s a plausible exploit.

This is why, as another commenter points out, defense in depth is so important.
I was really into ECS a while back and tried to implement a GUI framework in it. It was not a good match since your single widgets contain wildly different types of data.
I don't think you're correct. Bait and Switch advertising is not legal and the FTC will go after those that do that kind of thing.
I get that, but the way you worded it obscured a point that could help prevent it happening again :)
Oh, I stop with kids. But its where the kids like to stop.

Having the car wanting to have a 30-minute break in an area where the kids don't want a break is just going to add additional, unnecessary hassle to the trip.

Supercharger location #532 is not the Cracker Barrel where the kids want to take a break at. Realistically, someone is going to get the short-end of the stick here. And that'd be me: I'd likely have to stop at the Cracker Barrel (to make the kids feel good + get them the silly cheap toys they want to stay happy during the trip), and then I'll have to take another 30+ minute stop at the supercharger later to keep the car going.

---------

Have you ever traveled with kids before? When the kids are asleep: you wanna book it as far as you can go.

When the kids are awake, you need to take frequent breaks, far more frequently than your electric car demands.

If your kids are asleep, you are wasting precious "kid sleeping time" sitting around at a 30+ minute supercharger instead of making good progress. If your kids are awake, there's no damn way they'll want to wait until the next supercharger for a break.
Hey, that’s my inspection company! They have other good posts including a “Worst Inspection Photos of 2016” where my prior house made the cut.
And TFP is a real monster of a formula[1]. It's not just GDP / hours. There's like 20 variables going into it's calculation, including things like 'labor quality' and 'capital's share of income' (alpha).

I'm not a smart man, but I think this suggests that a society that lays off factory workers and retrains them as software engineers will not register on this metric. And looking at alpha, there's a pretty clear phase change at 2000 -- it's hovering at 31-33 for 50 years, then marches up from 0.31 to 0.38. Sounds to me like you could tell a story that labor is more productive, but seeing less of the gains than before.

edit: just to belabor the point, here's a random chart I googled for US productivity that _doesn't_ feature the same trendline: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/productivity. If anything it looks like productivity has accellerated during the past 20 years.

Bezos is acting like an idiot and just digging himself into a deeper hole. If he was at least 10% as serious about Blue Origin as he is about Amazon, maybe he would have something to show after 20 years instead of exactly jack shit. Pathetic. NASA is not looking for an expensive joyride to the Karman line, that's why they chose SpaceX.
Most people can also cook their own food, does that mean they never at a restaurant?

Watching the SSC and NYTimes drama was pretty eye opening about rationlists rational discourse.

Even when SA himself eventually started questioning his response/allegations, few of the mob (there really is no other word for it) would not have it. All absolutist and conspiracy laden.

> just to see if they'll ask me what I meant

I like that. Also, on the job, I try to be willing to ask for explanations even if I think I have a good guess. One thing you ending up finding is that other people often don't know either, but everyone was just going to be quiet about it.
This is a problem for AMD especially, but also Nvidia. Not so much for Intel. They're just budging in line with their superior firepower. Intel even bought out first dibs on TSMC 3nm out from under Apple. I'll be interested to see the market's reaction to this once everyone realizes that Intel is hitting AMD where it hurts and sees the inevitable outcome.

This is one of the smartest moves by Intel, make their own stuff and consume production from all their competitors, which do nothing but paper designs. Nvidia and especially AMD took a risk not being in the fabrication business, and now we'll see the full repercussions. It's a good play (outsourcing) in good times, not so much when things get tight like today.
If you're saving to buy a house in 10 years, putting the money in a savings account (or similar) is almost certainly a bad idea. If you're saving to buy a house in 6 months, almost anything else would be a bad idea.

This is why we can't have nice things. Any time someone tries to find more effective ways of making good decisions or accomplishing their goals, someone has to bring out the most tortured cynical interpretation to tear them down.
Writing a pool in Java doesn't necessarily give you memory locality guarantees though, making you much more sensitive to cache:data size ratios. In Java you end up rewriting your algorithms as AoS instead of SoA just so that you can work with cache-aware layouts of primitives.
That sounds... not ideal. I wonder how that came to be.
Critical thought is actually really, really hard. Pre-internet the problem was too little signal, post-internet the problem is too much noise.

I would argue we've largely been anesthetized due to successful Gish Galloping. I have great admiration for people who put the effort in to sort out the issues, academics and journalists. But just now everyone eye-rolled when I said those two terms.
