I'm not proposing we cut off Hospital / school funding to make our mega-dense utopia with maximum tax $$$$ per population here. (Yes, I too have played lots of Sim City. I'm well aware of the unrealistic corners of the game).

I'm simply pointing out that Factorio has a factory-like system that has the "buffering" problem innate to the game mechanics. As far as I can tell, the problem of buffering in real life is closely modeled by Factorio correctly.

Sim City is on the unrealistic side. But Factorio / Hearts of Iron / OpenTTD seem to do a good job of making the "real world issues translate well into a game". I think most people would benefit if they played those games and learned from them.

Uh, it's not "airtight". It wouldn't work if it were.
Three options:

1. Use an "endurance" SD card, these are usually advertised for dashcam use.

2. Boot from a USB device instead of SD, now natively supported.

3. Boot from LAN, also natively supported.

I agree, once alot of providers stopped offering subsidized prices for phones with contracts I feel like myself and others stopped buying a new iphone every 2 years. The larger models cost as much as a laptop and that is a really steep cost for the average American to deal with every 2 years.
I dunno what cargo-cult intellectualism is. Contrary to what it may seem, I rarely read economics blogs / political philosophy, etc.

It just seems obvious to me that if you increase everyone's income by $10, price of goods will go up by $10.

> The crux of the "UBI doesn't cause spiraling inflation" argument is that UBI accounts for a sufficiently small fraction of total incomes that its benefit (greater spending power for lower incomes, and the downstream economic benefits of that spending) outweighs its nonzero but noncrippling inflationary effect.

How could you have greater spending power if we agree that UBI's inflationary effect is proportional to its amount. The moment you give the money out, the spending power goes down.

In my view, this will just lead to the rich getting richer, because companies end up providing the services people will pay money for, and these profits go into the pockets of the rich, who don't really need the money for life necessities, so instead use it as capital.

The poor are no better off and are incentivized to spend the money because of inflationary effects (saving the money results in it having less spending power when they want to sell it), while the rich have no incentive to spend the money since they're already wealthy.

> That is, though the $10 cash benefit you describe may of course increase COL, it does so by some amount between $0 and $10 that is influenced by all sorts of factors you're glossing over.

Can you identify, name, and explain those factors. You accuse me of 'glossing over' some factors in my 'simple' explanation, while you yourself do not identify any of the factors that supposedly would not cause COL to increase.
Maybe I'd feel differently if the comment ended with :) instead of :(.

But I mean, obviously, yes. Different people can do different things for a zillion different reason. I'm reacting negatively because it sounds like a criticism against the author just for spending a lot of time working on a hobby project just for the sake of it.

If you agree that you have no useful opinion on the Playdate's practical merits as a video game console, then maybe you should edit your original comment to say what you now claim to mean. Making this explicitly negative value judgment about the functionality of the PC case:

Can really only be interpreted one way.

After we had our daughter, I started looking into the fluoride issue and was surprised at the lack of evidence regarding its safety, and the evidence suggesting potential problems. I do think it's a good example of how people with reasonable, rational concerns can be dismissed as loonies of the tin-foil-hat variety; there's probably lots of lessons from it for other issues today.

At the same time, the evidence works both ways. I was worried about a lot of the evidence suggesting neurodevelopmental problems, until I came a cross a reasonably large-scale study, somewhat of a quasi-experiment, from New Zealand that seemed to definitively suggest fluoride is safe.

The problem with the JAMA study and others like it is that it's fundamentally observational, with lots of potential residual confounders. The conclusion that fluoride has neurodevelopmental effects in boys, but not girls, isn't in itself implausible, but it does raise questions about the generalizability of its conclusions.

Clearly an experiment is probably not possible, but I don't think anything is going to get resolved in the absence of something even more rigorous. I'm not sure exactly what that would be but a simple observational, even predictive, study, probably isn't enough. Even that NZ study I was compelled by probably isn't quite right.
Holy cow you have articulated what I've been feeling for decades. This is great!

Having the ambient noise and not feeling alone and vulnerable but also feeling safe and amongst people is like the perfect set up for deep concentration for me.
I've tried a lot of sources of white noise while working. My previous favorite was "submarine sounds", but thanks to La Palma, I've learned that volcano sounds are the absolute best for my concentration.
Cognitive behavioral therapy has more success but any comparison is averages that may not fit the individual. Szasz would look for structures in a person’s life, past and present, that undermine mental health.

$40k a song would be for a full orchestra from a smaller state college or conservatory recorded in a million dollar venue.

I'm making this up obviously, my point is recording technology has increased vastly in quality and decreased vastly in cost, so for a single song to cost $40k just to record (assuming that mixing and mastering is done elsewhere) there has to be a LOT of moving parts and unique considerations ramping up the cost.

$40k should be enough for your average band to record a full medium to high quality album and have it mixed and roughly mastered. Not necessarily by the best in the business at any level, but you should still have a high quality, release worthy result at that price if you are not being taken advantage of.
You can presumably go a layer deeper and use the loaned cash to build an investment portfolio with a rate of return sufficient to fund your lifestyle, pay the interest on the original loan, and pay for the management of the whole thing.
No.

The bottleneck was the 3 hour boat tour. Imagine how much time we could have saved if we had just cut to the chase?

Also, he took a real Gilligan's Island risk just going out on a 3 hour boat tour. We could still be stuck and he could be stranded on a desert isle somewhere in the South Pacific.
In other words, humans aren't clever enough to engineer stable ecosystems that is slightly more complex than a fish tank.

In fact, humans aren't capable of predicting a chaotic system's outcome at all! It's the same for an economy - humans want to set policies for economic sustainability and growth, but every plan, every intervention and policy decision seems to have some negative externality not considered.
I get it. But what exactly do you want to happen here?

In terms of your analogy, do you want more expensive cars that less people have?

Software developers could spend more time optimizing their code. But that means that are spending less time elsewhere, fixing bugs, adding features, developing other products.

I owned a 79 Ford Mustang in 1986. By 1988 and 88k miles the engine was shot because it was an underpowered 2liter 4 cylinder with a turbo. Detroit was uncompetitive because they made sucky cars. To this day I haven’t owned another Ford and never will.
You know what? This is lame. The whole presentation. The communication. The products. The way the story is being told by someone that's clearly way out of touch. For the first time it feels like they can be challenged. And not just Facebook; Apple as well. Google too. This is lame. Out of touch. Innovation might not be stagnating technically, but they sure are stagnating socially. It will be interesting to see what actually comes next. This certainly isn't it.
This niche is exactly why I've used std::list in several cases. It allows fairly easy preallocation of list nodes.

The future is now. Welcome to VRChat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrUqFFj5ePE&t=180s

VRChat is full of escapism, alchohol abuse, underage users, and explicit erotic roleplay. The latter typically involves nude avatars with full-body tracking using HTC Vive trackers. By the way, this game is free without age restrictions on Oculus Quest, a product which itself has no parental controls. VRChat has no system for filtering or proactively tagging NSFW content, so even users who opt-out of the private adult worlds will probably still see nudity and more in public worlds. Also, vulnerabilities in the official client (mostly in the Unity rendering pipeline and Photon RPC stack) means users of modded clients can crash others' PC or Quest from inside the game. "Crashers", as they're known to all longtime users, have been a problem for years with no solution in sight. In earlier versions of VRChat, users could attach arbitrary C# scripts to their custom uploaded worlds or avatars. At least one arbitrary remote execution vulnerability has been discovered and responsibly disclosed to VRChat:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/8xz33p/hackers-hijacked-vr-c...

The VRChat staff ostensibly review moderation requests for issues like hate speech or nudity in public lobbies, but each video clip I've included (as the report guidelines strongly recommend) in requests I've filed has 0 views per my video upload dashboard. I keep seeing many of the same perpetrators again and again in public worlds. Again, there are no age checks, even good-faith "enter your birthdate" dialogs, and this platform is full of suggestive and explicit NSFW content. Communication is mainly via voice chat, so children are highly visible to adult users who would abuse them, who sadly are also present on the platform. Unsupervised kids are all over the place in this game. VRChat moderation staff do not have any in-game presence.

Despite these issues, VRChat continues to grow due to the total creative freedom it offers for user-uploaded content, its popularity among content creators on YouTube e.g. Jameskii, HeyImBee, SwaggerSouls, and the fact that it's a free game on Quest. It recently topped 50,000 concurrent active users.

Advanced VRChat users have modded support for teledildonics, as one streamer describes in this safe-for-work YouTube clip:

imagine you're stuck at a desert island, with limited fresh water.

You can either make it last as long as possible, but know that it will eventually run out (or the island sinks), or you strike out on the ocean by building a raft.
> This superficially sounds like a good design choice, but makes no sense whatsoever if you stop and think about it for a minute.

Sure it does; it makes sense for systems where continuing in an inconsistent state would be worse than stopping. If your bank doesn't let people spend their money that's bad, but if it lets people spend their money twice it's disastrous.

Obviously the ideal thing is to always keep working correctly, but anyone who's had a clustered system come up in split-brain mode knows the value of a system that will sometimes stop rather than continuing.
This part was confusing and possibly useless. The source oreilly article (https://www.oreilly.com/content/software-architecture-patter...) cites a web browser-based auction site. That doesn't sound very "data decoupled" to me when each browser needs up-to-the-second updates on bids.

People on the street don't know about Alphabet is what the above post implied. People will not know about Meta as well hence everyone will still say it is own by Facebook which gotten so much negative feedback that it had to change its name to Meta but essentially still the FB who is own by that Zuck guy.
> "Everybody knows" that a big chunk of the M1/mac performance dominance right now is due to their buying out huge amounts of TSMC capacity at leading edge nodes. Thus, much of the recent M1/M1Pro/M1Max "great leap forward" (pun intended) are directly attributable to TSMC specifically.

That sounds like good common sense, but you don't get the huge leaps in performance that we're seeing with single process advantage (7nm vs 5nm). Qualcomm has 5nm process ARM chips and they barely compete against what apple was shipping on 7nm ~2yrs ago.
Chances are that you bought the useless Sudafed PE. The (original) Sudafed is pseudoephedrine. Sudafed PE is phenylephrine. The molecules are similar, but the latter cannot be easily converted to methamphetamine so it is not regulated like the former. Sudafed is an effective nasal decongestant, while Sudafed PE is equivalent to a placebo. [1]

> every other attempt to replace the Internet with a privately owned space for communication, self-expression, and above all content consumption, this one will fail.

I wish you were right, but looking at Internet traffic on mobile devices [1]:

* 24% is YouTube.
* 10% is Facebook.
* 8% is TikTok.
* 8% is Instragram.
* 7% is Facebook video.
* 6% is Instagram.
* 5% is Google.
* 2% is Netflix.

That leaves about 30% for all other Internet traffic, including other large walled gardens like Twitter, Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc. So something like three quarters of all Internet traffic is in walled gardens now. Privately owned communication spaces are some of the biggest businesses in the world today.

Note that this is mobile data, because it was the first dataset I was able to find easily.

I blocked almost all wp-login bots just using bot fight mode in Cloudflare few months ago along with some CF page rules to run an interstatial. It seems to losing effectiveness over time though, and since I do have WP-login, I wonder how I can implement something like your idea.

People trying to steal to get drugs could. People high on drugs certainly could. A lot of Breaking and Entering, for example, is to obtain money to feed a drug habit. For the person doing the stealing, all they care about is the cost of the drug, so plans to regulate and tax meth, well, don't necessarily improve that situation.
If the underlying asset is real (not speculative) and it grows, then it is income. So it should be taxed whether you spend it or not.

But nobody wants this because we all know it’s pure speculation. That is why we call it “unrealized gains”.

If everyone tomorrow tries to cash out their Apple stock, except from the first few, all the rest will get 1 cent each. There is no value in these tickets, just the power of combined speculation.
As far as I understand it, you probably can add engineers to make software less buggy, but:

1. the improvements will probably come at roughly the logarithm of the number of people added at best (and, you can do worse without discipline and/or with a dysfunctional organization, possibly even negative), and

2. after their ramp-up period, like 6-9 months, during which each person might contribute a small negative load in mistakes, draining existing talent's time with questions, etc., and

3. you prioritize and value fixing bugs over adding new features, and

4. you probably want to structure those engineers in ways where they can contribute off of the critical path, like QA, dedicated to straight bug fixing, etc., and

5. You probably need an almost "microkernel" like team for very large projects--because the communication overhead grows as n^2, you need a small core, and ways to scale and build without growing the communication overhead--teams working on well defined and isolated subsystems off core, various "modules" that interface with the "microkernel core team" without imposing n^2 communication overhead between everyone working it, without breaking the product or making serious mistakes from not having n^2 connections

just thoughts, really. my intuition is: do everything right, and you can get log(added people) productivity increase time delayed (with a short term dip as those people get up to speed), up to, unfortunately, negative gain if you do much wrong
PCIe 5 speed is 64 GB/s, so theoretically if you perfectly pipelined the result you could achieve the same performance on a next-generation discrete GPU.

Hmm, I’m not sure I agree there. There’s a difference between using C++ because I just want to avoid obvious waste (interpreter, GC pauses…), and actually optimizing my code.

I would put v.empty() vs v.size()==0 in the latter category. Day to day, I mostly trust that std::vector is not wasting cycles except on resizes.
Reminds me of Michael Bolton from Office Space, "Why should I change, he's the one who sucks!"
