“I would love to be able to retire and get into meditation / travelling the world / learning about things for fun.” So you are motivated by the idea of meditation but not enough to save/use money you have to attain it? Genuine question.

That aside - cyber security is an option for your skillset. You sound like someone who should take the plunge and go contracting 4 days per week. It’s either change job, change the terms of the job or quit.
If you are that unhappy and your partner loves you, then tell them and they’ll say “ok quit the job and see if you’re happier, we’ll be fine”. If they don’t say that then there is something wrong with the relationship too. Is it the situation or the job that’s the problem?

Reminds me somewhat of Teletext graphics, whose character set included 2x3-cell blocks that could be displayed either joined up or separated.

Me too. Not especially feature-rich, but no complaints.
Many of us are very fast with text editors and very expressive with algorithms but struggle with DAW interfaces. Text is just flexible enough to work as a replacement and the already existing tools to manipulate and manage it make it very attractive. Many of the things you pointed out could be handled with various editor macros or possibly even regex. In the case of programming languages, the high level information could be directly encoded by the author of the piece and the low level information could be generated dynamically.

It's a very different perspective on computer UI design and one I personally prefer, although I get why it's not for everyone.
It was sold as a serious gaming GPU.

Recall that this was an era where GPUs weren't yet a thing; instead there was 2D video cards and 3D accelerators that paired with. The i740 and TNT paved the way toward GPUs, while I don't recall whether either had programmable pipelines they both had 2D capacity. For budget gamers, it wasn't a _terrible_ choice to purchase an i740 for the combined 2D/3D ability.
It's here if you'd like to judge for yourself.

I'd be hard pressed to think of an article I've skimmed that I relate less to than this one. In my first dorm room, the priority was a mini fridge, for obvious reasons. It may have been the only dorm-specific item I bought. The box it came in became our coffee table for the entire year.
The goal is to make decisions that are "better" as defined by your own utility function given limited information. This is also called "winning"
They do give a reason: mDNS is a standard that was assigned .local. mDNS is useful for a number of reasons. (One of its original codenames was "Bonjour" if that helps connect the dots on how old mDNS is at this point.)

It's not worth the effort to break mDNS because lots of apps can use mDNS, it's a useful standard. In fact, in many LANs today (on modern operating systems inc. relatively recent versions of Windows 10 as Microsoft was one of the last to adopt mDNS) mDNS does almost everything people would want DNS to do in LAN scope anyway and you could get away with not assigning any local DNS and just using mDNS services.
There is no mention of any failures of the occupation, atrocities committed by NATO forces or the old Afghan government, just an axiomatic belief that imperialism is good. Very on brand for the Economist.
I like the idea! But why should I trust your company to assess expertise? At the minimum, please have an about page for your platform. It would more useful to have links or explanations that led to the expertise rating (both physician and team) for each physician.
Yeah they use Samsung for their current series but are planning to move to TSMC for the next irrc.
What you've said is correct but if you take what you've said and apply it to the point of retirement it gets a bit depressing since you do indeed lose all those things. People have a lot of trouble accepting retirement because of that loss of routine and of connection.

So what's the best outcome? My point of view is that the answer is to find something right now that provides that connection to society without causing you harm in other aspects. So it's an argument for quitting.

The original poster in this thread says to push through pain now to early retirement. But lets think about that. You'd be working your ass off now merely to hit the issues of a loss of routine and connection later in life.

Instead find something now that you wouldn't mind doing past retirement age and you'll never have those issues.

So, in earnest, I don't see what the parent comment said that deserves them to be called an asshole. I actually see you calling them an asshole as much more rude than anything they said.

I figure there's some social implication that I'm missing.
Would you mind breaking down the thought process for your reply?
For me, this was after ~2 hours on a medium-sized map, this January. The game started out with about 20-30 fps, and ended as an unplayable slideshow, <10fps.

For comparison, I have never experienced such low frame rates on Zero-K regardless of unit count or map size, and the other player didn't complain either.
Ice delivery is the only valid example of a reduntdant job here. My grandparents bought milk at the grocery store, too. And I get milk delivered with Instacart. Medical technology did not make bedside care impractical. Quite the opposite. More can now be done from the bedside. Not that a typical doctor's visit involves any meaningful use of technology. Of course there are many other reasons why bedside care is superior.
Paywall, but the economist is basically written like a fantasy what-if-the-british-empire-never-fell.

Yeah, they're going to think it's disaster.

But from what I've read on the couple times I've looked into Afghanistan:

- The Taliban always ruled rural Afghanistan.

- The Afghan government was so corrupt it make other corrupt regimes embarrassed.

- The Afghan government was basically an opium/poppy narco-state supported by our troops.

- The western desire is to have centralized control over a country to economically exploit it. Thus the ECONOMIST is going to view that as terrifying.

- We did not "bring civilization to the savages", the old big lie of building schools for the conquered so that we don't feel like Ghenghis Khan.

So is this article basically the predictable neolib hangwringing about not being able to extract resources from the third world?
Does someone have a link to some example code that implements this idea? I am working on my own memory-assistance software, I would like to use the algorithm.
The first wave of Steam Decks sold out in minutes. They're now pushing back delivery to Q2 2022. The demand for the device is pretty significant; not New Console large, but its definitely big enough to be visible in the Steam Hardware Survey upon release later this year, despite the vast size of Steam's overall playerbase.

Two weeks ago, the Hardware Survey reported Linux breaching 1% for the first time ever [1], for reasons not related to Deck (in fact, its not obvious WHY linux has been growing; disappointment in the Win11 announcement may have caused it, but in short, its healthy, natural, long-term growth). I would put real money up that Linux will hit 2% by the January 2022 survey, and 5% by January 2023.

Proton short-circuits the porting argument. It works fantastically for most games, with zero effort from the devs.

We're not talking about Linux being the majority. But its definitely looking like it will see growth over the next decade.

I try to keep in mind the number that is .1% of my net worth. It's not a small number,it's not a big number. But I try not to loose sleep over anything or get upset about anything in this ball park.

It has meaningfully helped me.
Well said, that last bit especially. The regulations on medical devices are on how the manufacturer markets it. Should be the same for driving technology.
> And, if the store really has such a serious crime problem that these measures are necessary, I don't want to be there anyway.

Neither do the people that shop at them, but they are too poor to have a choice. And the store’s management also does not want to spend money on these anti theft measures, but obviously they are having to do so to make it viable for the store to stay open.
They still do emergency braking regardless of the sensor technology.
Alas: Bitcoin.
But you can still impose a max speed limit based on available data to cover most normal driving conditions but it's still on the driver to drive slower if appropriate. And that could be implemented today, not a decade from now when autonomous driving is trustable.

The parent post said that autopilot won't let him go over the speed limit and implies that makes him safer. My point is that you don't need full autopilot for that.

So this is not a technical problem at all, but a political one. As the past year has shown, people won't put up with any convenience or restriction, even if it could save lives (not even if it could save thousands of lives)

I'm not sure that we're measuring productivity correctly these days. Take AI, for example. Going from barely being able to play chess, to winning at Starcraft and Go and basically any game Google thinks is worth cracking is a huge, huge leap in technological capacity. What was the impact of the people that worked on these and related technologies on "productivity"? You can count apples. You can't really quantify DynamoDB or Rust on the economy.

Now, median worker productivity growth seems like it's drastically slowed and I think we have real problems in the economy, but as everything started merging with tech it gets harder to see the full picture.
Dear Stacy, congrats on what seems like an useful service. Signed up for a week and have sent a project your way.

All the best.
I mainly collect retro hardware for the hardware itself. Emulations can play the games, but nothing can emulate how the Game Boy Color perfectly fits on the curve of the N64 (try it), or taking a Dreamcast VMU with you on the go, or the TV tuners that kids like me craved. I love seeing hardware evolve in front of my eyes.
> Half-decent engineer time is worth $350/hour, all in (benefits, overhead, etc.). Once you've spent a week futzing with AMD's mess, you're behind by the cost of ten NVidia A4000 cards which Just Work.

It seems pretty simple to me if we're talking about compute. The MI-cards are AMD's line of compute GPUs. Buy an MI-card if you want to use ROCm with full support. That's MI25, MI50, or MI100.

> As a footnote, I suspect in the long term, small purchases will be worth more than the supercomputing megacontracts. GPGPU is wildly underutilized right now. That's mostly a gap of software, standards, and support. If we can get that right, every computer have many teraflops of computing power, even for stupid video chat filters and whatnot.

I think you're right, but the #1 use of these devices is running video games (aka: DirectX and Vulkan). Compute capabilities are quite secondary at the moment.

The technical term for this is Risk Compensation:

"Risk compensation is a theory which suggests that people typically adjust their behavior in response to perceived levels of risk, becoming more careful where they sense greater risk and less careful if they feel more protected."
This is a question that is answerable with the right data – we can just see if it's safer or not.
I spent a few minutes looking at this "BEE-Steward" and it's corresponding models, BEEHAVE and BEESCOUT, and the underlying NetLogo language that is used to model these things.

I guess I immediately have a few questions - How do we know that the model corresponds to reality at all? I mean, I know we have experiments to confirm what impacts the bees, but it seems like there could be a massive amount of variety depending on different factors. I'd love to see some research showing that BEE-Steward can work in real scenarios. Right now, they just have a simulation showing "hey, if we change x and y we can get 5x more bees", but does that actually correspond to reality?

Secondly, how do we make farmers actually want to use this? Do they get paid for taking care of bees on their land? I know this is just a policy question, but it's still important to answer. Do farmers need any training to use this? Can we collect data in an automated fashion to reduce the work the farmers have to do? This almost sounds like a deep learning problem - use a camera to map + classify areas of farmland, how many pollinators they have, the presence of bees, etc.

Finally, what is the fundamental problem of bee modeling? Is it fundamentally a computational problem (where we know the rules, but computing the model can be hard) or is it a data problem (where we know how to compute how the bees will behave, we can do it efficiently, but coming up with rules that bees actually follow is hard)? I've noted that the NetLogo environment by default will only take up 1GB of RAM, which is already not very much considering the JVM itself will take a pretty big chunk to run just about anything.

It would be interesting to start building some sort of "National bee model", rather than just working farmland by farmland. Is there any project like this in the works?

Either way, I'm sure all of my questions and more are already being asked/answered by people much more involved with the conservationist field. Just my 2 cents.
Isn't giving your credentials to a third party also a violation of the terms of service with your bank? It seems, at the very least, the bank will just tell you "too bad" if there's a breach and someone drains your bank account using the credentials you gave Plaid. You'd be left suing Plaid.

In fact, this seems like a _terrible_ liability for them. I guess they're hoping it won't happen and if it does then they'll just go bankrupt anyway?
I could rephrase you comment as why would anyone use Go when I could just use assembler or C and keep all into a single node.

People don't use python because they want performance. People use python because of productivity, frameworks, libraries, documentation, resources and ecosystems. Most projects don't even need 10k qps, but instead most projects do need an ORM, a migrations system, authentication, sessions, etc. Python has bottle tested tools and frameworks for this.
I had Linux Mint drive me to nearly throw my computer out of the window before I realized there were two different network configuration UI programs fighting each other. One accessed from the Cinnamon system tray and the one in the configuration menu. One was set to dhcp and the other static and the static setting was overriding the dhcp setting. Complete WTF moment.

Now I just use Void Linux Musl with XFCE and install bloated programs like LibreOffice or Steam via flatpack.

I'd love to see an RTS explore single sovereignty multiplayer. One player might be the industrial minister and another the military minister. You could imagine letting the tree deepen to allow more players. Bob runs the navy, Alice does resource acquisition, etc. Would lend itself to team games that solves the problem of defeated player boredom.

You misunderstand the point I am making. I am not calling all those who don't believe in life extension irrational.

I am saying that in my experience, most people do not want to discuss it at all. They will bring up some obvious possible problem that might be caused by it, and then refuse any further discussion.

I think (but don't know) that this is an irrational reaction to the topic of mortality.
Teslas are the safest vehicles on the road, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (https://drivemag.com/news/how-safe-are-tesla-cars-5-facts-an...).

Teslas crash 40% less than other cars, and 1/3 the number of people are killed in Teslas versus other cars.

Indeed once a common failure mode like this is identified it needs to be investigated and fixed. Something similar happened a few years ago when someone driving a Tesla while watching a movie (not paying attention) died when they crashed into a light-colored tractor trailer directly crossing the road. So an investigation makes sense. But much of the general criticism of self-driving and autopilot here seems misplaced. Teslas and other self-driving vehicle technologies are saving lives. They will continue to save lives compared to human drivers, as long as we let them.

It's very much a taste thing. TA-likes are a whole different kind of RTS and demand a different type of skill. SCs reward quick thinking whereas TAs seem to much more reward overwhelming scale. I can usually counter my way out of a problem in SC, but in Planetary Annihilation if I've committed in the wrong direction or just not made as many mines as my opponent, I'm sunk.

Also there is the number of units. Over three hundred in this game! TAs tend to have lots and lots of units whereas the other shall we say branch of RTS design tends to have far fewer.
Yes there have been stories about irresponsible people. Do you have any evidence that this is the common case? The aggregate evidence seems to suggest reduced accidents and reduced fatalities.

The popular AAA games have been making record breaking amounts of profit in recent years before you even include the microtransactions they've been adding. The market is bigger than ever. This is from the earning reports. This is just an excuse to try milk more money out of consumers.

> Just write the exact concrete code that needs to be there to solve the problem.

Good luck with that when the exact code to solve the problem is not the exact code the next week, because the problem has changed or evolved.

Not to suggest an ECS is the answer, but this line of thinking is reductive to the realities of creating a piece of art. It's not a spec you can draw a diagram for and trust will be basically the same. It's a creature you discover, revealing more of itself over time. The popularity of the ECS is because it provides accessible composition. It's not the only way of composing data but being able to say "AddX", "RemoveX" without the implementation details of what struct holds what data and what groupings might matter is what makes it appealing.
>according to them as little as 10 years ago there was maybe a dozen big, AAA, 50h+ long releases each year. Now there’s 100+ a year and increasing.

> One specific, well known example highlighting unexpected software criticality comes from a fish tank thermometer in a Las Vegas casino. Attackers were able to get into the casino’s network via the fish tank thermometer which was connected to the Internet.

The amount of insecure and exploited "IoT" devices is only going to increase in the coming years. As many others on HN have advocated before, a defense in depth [1] strategy is the best (and perhaps the only) way to effectively reduce the risk of successful attacks in complex real-world environments.

Software engineers should still do their best to write secure software, but higher order strategies are really the only way forward at this point. From that perspective, there is diminishing returns to hardening fish tank thermometers and the like - but still the tradeoffs and threat models should be carefully evaluated.
