There is one thing I am curious about and I never see anyone talk about this when a country goes mostly EV. What impact if any is there to the cost of diesel fuel? There are still big trucks, farm equipment and construction equipment that needs fuel. That equipment is not going to change to EV as fast as cars. Has the cost of fuel risen notably when demand from consumer cars drops? I am asking because I am looking at excavators and skid steers. There are a handful of EV excavators but they are exponentially more expensive right now. If I were a business, it might pay for itself but I am buying them for myself.
I found his book Water Logic intriguing. It encouraged setting out problems as a series of nodes, or factors in the problem, which you'd then connect with one-way arrows. So, this affects that, and that affects the other. The idea was that you'd end up with a sort of flow chart where some nodes/factors had multiple arrows pointing at them - and these were blocking points. A surprisingly useful tool on some occasions; certainly helped discussions about dependencies etc. But it must have been a minor work because I can't find anything worthwhile online atm about it.

For me, though, de Bono's best contribution to my life was the L game. I still play it.

Honestly, I live in the the WORST NY county for Lyme but it really isn't that big a deal. The country across in Vermont is Vermont's top Lyme county. And I live in the woods.

Basically it's easily treated once you are fairly sure you have it with VERY MILD antibiotics that aren't super at risk for resistance. Getting Lyme is a pretty normal and common thing. Akin to catching a cold - it's simply inevitable but you will be treatable.

You also need to check for ticks and putting on DEET is always an option. Thinking about what you wear is also SOP but no big deal (per spicybright's comment).

But honestly WE don't worry about it that much despite being completely endemic.
Recovery with Lyme isn’t always forever. It apparently goes into remission and comes back later. Not sure if anyone knows why or how it does that. AFAIK it is only cured if treated very quickly, before the blood tests are accurate.
You can pick a modern framework that cares about performance, eg Svelte or Solid.
I think even the article makes a mention that there is not scientific consensus on many aspects of Lyme disease. It seems it is one of many topics that have studies that may contradict other studies, or explore additional angles.
there have been vaccines against that for a long time.
I think that's actually a step towards a local maximum that makes us less likely to achieve actual FSD. The safer we can make AI-guided driving where a person is still in control, the higher the bar becomes for a solo AI to be significantly safer than the alternatives.
A few houses ago we lived on 2.5 heavily wooded acres in a tick endemic area. Probably got 30 ticks on me from working in the woods.

Never got Lyme disease though by following what you said - check for ticks at the end of each day. It really is true… if they are latched for less than 36 hours you are good.

My son on the other hand had Lyme disease when he was about 6 with a found tick followed by obvious bulls eye rash in the middle of his back. The one time we didn’t check him at end of the day… 30 days of amoxicillin and he’s been fine the past seven years.
This is already a default option in the game.
And also, this is what we'd like to expand upon, f.e. in the coop-campaign.

Each player working together as one is quite the experience and different from each building their own base/having their own eco.

So do expect a lot more on this in BAR.
Hard to describe, but it feels like it makes much, much more sense. I think it's because the divide between html/css/js is supposed to be one of concerns, but in reality the concerns are interwoven in many ways, and leads to issues when using them at scale. None of the scaling issues I've faced in the past re-occurred when I used a framework that combined the languages into single files.
Re-used containers means reduced food-life after buying it or more preservatives, and higher chance of contamination. That will increase probability of food-poison. More wastage, more food needs to be produced, more environmental impact

On the topic of reusing bags, I wish it were as simple as stopping using single-use plastic bags. The most "environmental-friendly" alternative seems to be reusable-bags made of polyester PET(recycled), but you still have to reuse them on average more than ~35 times in order to have less environmental impact. graph: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/grocery-bag-environmental...

more info: https://ourworldindata.org/faq-on-plastics#are-plastic-alter...

"In fact, studies have shown that when we compare environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, energy, water and resource use, plastic packaging tends to have a net positive impact. The impact of plastic production and handling is lower than the impacts which would result from food waste without packaging."

"By switching from a metal gate process to a polysilicon gate process, he was able to reduce the chip's required voltage input from 10v to just 1v, reducing power consumption significantly." - doesn't power consumption of chips scale with U^2, i.e. reducing voltage to 1/10 makes power consumption drop to 1/100? I could not find the numbers yet...

I don't think that's actual new news tho.

If you say "the math says", it's very likely your model of reality isn't complex enough to make it remotely real or possible.

Really interesting having just come back from a project in Kenya (and a vacation in Uganda) and one of the really striking things was how many older American/EU clothes were on the street (e.g. sweaters from smaller colleges, shirts referencing mid-sized sporting events for american football). I asked a few of the people I was working with about it and they were quite negative, along with cheap Chinese imports, it has really hurt the domestic textile market to the point where it's basically been wiped out of existence because they can't compete with these imports.

It isn't that hard to just make a backup before you do anything messy. That's sorta what I'm getting at: people are using git as a really overcomplicated backup solution. It has the same problem: you forget to commit before making changes and you're still hosed.
I can’t tell you why this is the #2 story, but fortunately your comment is dead last so I’ve got some evidence the ranking algorithms are working appropriately.
> This is also why you still want to do everything in your power as a game developer to reduce the variance in real step size.

Well the main reason is that for either variable time slices or fixed time slices with interpolation, what the time for the simulation/interpolation you want is that for the current frame, but you don't have that until you render it. So what you do is assume that it will take about as long as the previous frame, which is a bad prediction if the frame time variance is too big. If you really want to eliminate the jitter you'd need to simulate/interpolate for a time that you are guaranteed to be able to render the frame in and then make sure that the frame is displayed when that time elapses and not before. This of course increases latency so there is always a tradeoff.

Another cause for jitter is that even measuring the time between two successive frames can be difficult with modern GPUs - the CPU time at the start of the game loop doesn't really cut it: https://medium.com/@alen.ladavac/the-elusive-frame-timing-16...

We're working on new GL rendering for units, which is a huge part of slowdowns in FPS mid-late game. In testing environments we can see over 3-10x better performance on rendering.

> apps built with it can be fast (e.g. VSCode, Github desktop client, Discord)

I can't speak to the other two, but there is no way I would describe Discord's client as "fast". Starting the application takes 8-10 seconds during which it pops up several different windows on top. Switching between channels has a delay of about 1 second or so. If that channel isn't in cache, then it adds another 3-6 seconds of delay.

Switching between views isn't a new task, and isn't an infrequent one. If I think back to pidgin 20 years ago, the startup time was much faster, and switching between tabs had no perceptible delay. Discord has the advantage of 6 years of Dennard scaling followed by another 14 years of Moore's Law, so it has zero excuse for not being able to perform those same tasks to the same standard.

I have been thinking a lot on a problem with the idea to find a tech solution that could help solving it. The more I was thinking about it the more I realized that what I think is the the best way to solve the problem does not involve any tech at all.

That's how I started working a a static website. I have been working on it for a few years now. I have realised my strength is that I can work on a problem for a very long time. My website solves a lot of very tiny problems one by one. Nothing impressive when you look at them individually. However after solving hundreds of them a big picture starts emerging.

When I was younger I wanted to solve very hard problems. I have let that idea go and have no regret about it.

It's tiring to argue with people who think RSS is dead so I just stopped. People who appreciate RSS still use it, those who provide it know their users/readers like it. Most Swedish news websites, TV, and radio still provide RSS. BBC provides RSS. Most blogs I follow provide RSS. If you really think about it there are only a few (but huge) companies that don't provide it, honestly, fuck'em.

The most beautiful thing about open standards is that they never ever die. There are gopher services (and revitalization attempts) all around.

If you think RSS is dead. Keep thinking that, it's your loss.
To the best of my knowledge no one in the FDA nor military is an elected representative.

Generally an elected representative, per the Constitution, is understood (or so I thought) to be elected members of the legislature (House of Representatives and Senators) and the President.

It’s not about 12 random people having power, in fact it is the very opposite, democratic officials serve the public and do their will, it’s the very problem with our representative form of government where the representatives substitute their own interest for the interests of the voters.

You should consider his thoughts in the time he wrote them. His broad point of view is mainstream today. His specific methods are not. In the early 70s his way of thinking was new.

Consider Sigmund Freud and his wild theories. Almost everything he did is now considered wrong today. His only lasting impact is popularizing the idea of unconsciousness. The idea of unconsciousness desires, needs, and thoughts affecting our life so mainstream today it's hard to comprehend that it was not in the conceptual toolbox in the west before him. (Friedrich Schelling predated Freud but his works were largely ignored during his time)

> Not all western countries define their societies along racial

Yes, those other western countries are 90-99% white so whiteness is overtly implied since any other race is an anomaly. You probably haven't been asked the notorious 6-worded question, "but where are you really from?" that seems to only happen to people of color in western European countries.

> mainly US society who engages in that behavior.

Yes, racism is literally written into the constitution of the US with many compromises for slaveholding states at the time of its founding.

Yup it is well known since a long time. Fun fact: I discovered that technique myself around 1991 (and still have the ASM + C source code for the DOS game using it). The first time I remember it publicly described was on the GamaSutra website in a post-mortem for the first "Age of Empire" game. GamaSutra was/is a big deal among game devs so the technique became "famous" when that post-mortem was made.

I wrote about it in a thread here called: "Why bugs might feel “impossible”" about two months ago and someone commented that the game TerraNova (from 1996) had a fully deterministic engine.

BTW TFA say StarCraft 2 (2007) used the technique but Warcraft 3 (2003) was already using a deterministic engine. Save files for Warcraft 3 games (including multiplayer ones over the Internet) consisted in only recording the player inputs and the "tick" at which they happened. This make for tiny savefiles, even for very long games.

So basically: several of us independently discovered that technique in the nineties. There may have been games in the eighties already using such a technique but I don't know any.

People seem to interpret my comments as some kind of tall-poppy syndrome or ignorance, but I actually believe that a lot of these mathematical abilities do generate at about the age that Terrence was said to display them (even if we accept he was early and prodigious).

if someone told you that they developed sight before they physically developed eyes, surely you'd pause for thought. But make similar claims concerning the neurological development or mental faculties in prodigies at a young age and suddenly everyone's critical thinking switches off.

I've actually read the study which involved Terrence before this thread, and I'll repeat it again: nothing I'm saying is trying to take away from his accomplishments or current abilities.

The far more plausible story is simply that he had two highly educated parents, one of whom was a math teacher, he has some innate ability, and his parents specifically focused on him and taught and pushed him in math from an early age, then they went about accessing opportunities for him to learn and continue his development at an abnormally early age and they additionally got him special access to educational resources, educators and equipment.

If anything, the video and further research confirms my early conclusions, but my point is really quite fundamental and has little to do with Terence's abilities or current day achievements: I don't believe a 2 year old can teach themselves to read (or at least to anything approximating what a skeptical person would call reading). I think anyone who's had dealing with kids and understands development would say that claim at least SMELLS of bullshit if it isn't actually so.

Not only that but standard tests don't even reach reach the point where you can distinguish people near the top. If you have, for example, Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices, you're dealing only with 48 questions. I vaguely remember that making four mistakes at the age of 17 means an IQ somewhere in the mid-150s (with a standard deviation of 15). If you can only distinguish three more values above 150s, I don't think you can reasonably reach even 200, not to mention 230.

I love the fact that Zero-K has such a large group of people really enjoying it. It's both proof that a spring-engine game nowadays still can work/be played very well, and also that gameplay is what matters most.

For me personally, it's the taste that's different. ZK has a kinda chaotic/weird setup/design-style. And even though gameplay > graphics, i do really love it when they match/meet/work together. For BAR it is one of our missions to make looking at the game to already be very enjoyable. (and since the basic gameplay mechanics derived from TA were already so good).
