> Are you going to try to tell me that The Witcher 3 was developed by having everyone work a standard 8 hour day and that the team was given as much time as they felt was needed to produce it?

No, and it showed. Witcher 3 was a success because of previous games. 3 was a dissapointment for a lot of people, they took the Ubisoft formula of repetitive content and diluted the experience until I got bored after about 100 hours.

W3 was a huge financial success but the writing was on the wall and only people who did not pay attention where surprised at Cyperpunk disaster. They tried to force a good game out with W3 and even more so with Cyberbunk. The results where clearly different than W2 which I personally think was their peak - a human curated story pace that left you dreaming for more.

Compare this with GTA games. Rockstar knows you can't rush things nor can you force industry revolutions in AI over night. Slow and steady wins the race. To which company do you think will the investor money go next?

Nope, that's not a problem. You don't need a closed form and simple equation to build the lookup table (inverse CDF). Use whatever expensive and iterative functions you want to build it.

For the normal distribution, you can use a bisection on the math.h erf() function to invert it. This is expensive, but you're only going to do it to make your lookup table once. Build that table to reasonably fit in your cache, and then use your uniform pseudo random integers to peak into that table.

As I mentioned above, you can interpolate between values in the table if you need more resolution. There are other tricks for specific distributions, but the technique is very general.

Agreed. The help pages were really top notch. Other software's help pages were basically useless to the point that no one read them. In Delphi not only you had to the point explanations but also examples that frequently solved the problem one had in the first place. Sadly, as someone pointed out, most of this art seems to be forgotten with time.
Can't speak of others, but when I'm doing interview I never "take points off" for not talking while coding - as long as they're building the answer in the correct direction, that's all I want.

I think "talking while coding" is, at least in theory, for the benefit of the candidate - if they're "thinking aloud" and about to make a mistake which may take 20 minutes to recover, the interviewer can gently nudge them in the correct direction.
This is the kind of autistic pedantry I come to HN for. I don't know what I was thinking.
Insightful comment.

And I will add that we constantly complain about how there are just a few hours daily of truly useful work. Adding more money will not change anything. Paid overtime also can give people the wrong incentives.

Edit: what I mean is that we should not plan for overtime. Of course it should always be paid.
> It has nothing to do with what title you hold but if the US state gives a fuck or not.

The US cares about US operatives because they have a job to do on behalf of the US. The operatives can't do their job if the host nation holds the prosecution of their spouse over their head. I think you may be under the false impression that the United States is unique in this regard but it's basic diplomacy as standardized by the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic Relations [1] - Article 37 specifically.

Imagine when the practice is common enough that in order to rob you a thief will have to cut off your hand.
That might be true, but as opposed to Tesla, Mercedes is willing to take on the liability if something happens while the system is online.

If I'm not mistaken the law requires a 10 second take over period before it disengages.

For the moment Tesla can't or won't do the same. Not in Germany, Not in America. Nowhere.

In the end we will see who is better (it might be Tesla, or another company, or all of them in close succession).

But right now Tesla is saying and implying a lot of things but still requires the driver to be in full control at any moment (wink-wink nudge-nudge), while Mercedes decided that there are situation where they got this.

Rule based processing can augment transformers by both filtering out bad input and by parsing good input into a form that plays to the strengths of a model.

You can do some fantastic things with BERT and spaCy, or gpt-neo/J/3, or combinations as needed. Expert systems and ontological tools and things like nltk, spaCy, and LinkGrammar are excellent complements to an ai workflow. Use the fast, "dumb" tools to do the fast, dumb tasks, and only use the huge smart models when you need it.

GPT-3 shouldn't be used if you're just doing tagging or NER, but you can get higher quality nuanced extrapolation or summarization if you run things through a mad libs style prompt generator that leans into prompts that work really well.
Magnus Carlsen is going to be an all time great in our history books. Potentially, even better than Fischer was.
This whole physical existence is suffering without end. It is literally the core of any being. Buddhism has a core imperative to either lessen the suffering (by not inflicting more of it), or to eradicate it altogether by means of final death in nirvana (escape from samsara). However, as any novice of buddhism knows, dogs simultaneously both possess buddha-nature and are unaware of it. In that sense, is actually knowing that to be is to suffer better or worse?

And as far as the fetish for anthropocentrism is concerned, it is a western religious thing deeply rooted in psychopatic (as opposed to empathic) abrahamic tradition, which proved to be a superior memeplex here.

(yeah it touches a nerve, doesn't it)
I lived in a town in the Vermont mountains where it got to -40 (with very intense wind on top of that) occasionally and it felt qualitatively different than the positive single digit type cold that is more normal in Massachusetts.

It was almost easier to deal with because there aren't any options. If you don't have the right jacket, pants, boots, gloves, etc you just can't exist outside even for a few moments to brush off the car.

You can't be cold because if you're feeling the cold it's going to do damage.

Unity and dynamic asset loading are not happy bed fellows.

Not Unreal Engine 4, either. UE5 has "asset streaming" and "open worlds", but mostly static and loaded from a local SSD on a Playstation 5. That's working nicely.

Asset management from the network is the real difference with seamless, modifiable virtual world systems. Otherwise, it's a minute of "...LOADING..." when you move to the next area. You need clients, servers, file formats, and protocols designed for it. It's a moderately hard engineering problem, and, as yet, there are no good off the shelf solutions.

There's a "check out, check in" approach. Decentraland uses that. You check out your parcel into a local Unity environment, edit, and check in the whole parcel to make it visible to others.

The Spatial OS people, Improbable, did some of this, but their solution cost so much to operate server side that all four of the games that used it went broke. So Improbable is trying to pivot to military simulation.

Probably by UE6 this will all be standard. It's one of those things that has to be done to move the metaverse from hype to usefulness.
It doesn't seems crazy to me.

Like OP said, they live in an expensive West European city and buy almost only organic products which consists, in part, of meat and imported products.

I myself live in a West European cit and buy almost only organic products that are plant based and mostly locals. It costs me around ~300€/month.

Still, OP pays double that. But :
- The city I live in is way smaller than Berlin so it's obviously cheaper (going often in Paris for work, I can assume by how much)
- I don't eat meat. Organic meat is probably (after luxury restaurant) the most expensive way to feed someone so I have no doubt that if I added meat to my diet I would be paying (a lot) more than 300€/month
- 80% of my vegetables come from a local farmer with whom I have a yearly contract, which divide probably by two the vegetables cost compared to buying them in a store
- Except for a few things that can't be cultivated locally (at a country scale), most of the food I buy didn't to make more than 1000km to arrive in the shop
- I'll take a wild guess but while 80% of what I buy is "raw food", OP is probably buying more prepared product which again makes it more expensive
- Another guess but OP is probably making their groceries in a in-town shop where prices are higher (because of rent and delivery constraints) than shops around town made for suburban people, while in my case I go in those cheaper shops to take advantage of the longer route to ride my bicycle more

All that combined, I'm not surprised by the figures given by OP since they're eating one of the most expensive diet a Western European can eat. And I'm not saying it in a bad way. I'm just trying to see facts.
I love music and I’ve attempted music making at various points in my life, but I’m just not great at it. I don’t have the imagination to plan and layer out the interesting bits that make a good song. But my near-sleeping mind is totally able to do that. And this is at least a semi-conscious process, where I’m able to direct the music as it’s being “played” in my mind. As I said, I’m very much an amateur, so I wouldn’t describe it as genius, but it’s still much better than anything I can create awake.

I’ve also noticed that this translates into other areas as well, like architecture or languages - I can hear a very convincingly sounding sentence in a language I’m familiar with just well enough to know that it was gibberish.
So, for anybody else who wasn't familiar with the term GOAT, and don't want to spend minutes fighting search engines all too eager to tell them about goat cheese, it apparently means to Greatest of All Time.

Man I really wish people would stop writing javascript to load in images only as a scroll to them. It makes web browsing so much slower.
We could also simply do-away with level-headed discourse, and go back to the tried-and-true:

"Billionaires are not your friends. They don't know you, they don't care about you, and they can do nothing for you -- except allow you to live vicariously through their avarice, as if you're some sportsfan."

To seriously spend any time at all aligning oneself with the workings of reality-disassociated billionaires---much less as anything but a fellow billionaire!---is silly. There really is nothing good that will happen if Jeff Bezos does X, Y, or Z, except parasocial fans will be imbued with energy and celebration.

That's it.

Maddening. I'm of a mind of treating anyone supportive of unaccountable billionaires as enablers, or even missing some basic human faculties of independent thought.
Actually, the speed limits are not imposed randomly and you can usually "sense" the limit from the surroundings and the structure of the road. I don't really look at speed limits when driving, if I'm on a road that looks like a pedestrian can walk then I probably need to go slow and if there's a school ahead or the street is particularly narrow or the road pavement is not asphalt I probably need to go extremely slow.

TBF, now I'm not in Germany but when I was, driving on the autobahn usually involved religiously following the signs of speed limit and no speed limit(the limit-free coverage on the autobahn is patchy).

I wonder if the self driving systems asses the road type to determine the speed they should go. Is there a possibility for a autonomous car to speed up to 120kph around a school or in a residential area if the sign is missing or someone puts a bogus sign?

I signed up months ago so I could get enough virtual crap to start a "working" k8s cluster for messing around with, doing CV KA etc. Haven't used it yet (doing other stuff) but am planning on kicking off next month. I got a single salesy email, and I replied that the account is for personal use, I have no money and no intention of monetising my tire-kicking, so it's forever free-tier. That was the end of it. You also have to explicitly flip a switch so they are allowed to charge you. If you don't, you simply can't deploy anything beyond the free tier. That's my understanding of their documentation of the free tier, but that was made clear enough.

they rejected me despite verifying the transaction because the credit card is pre paid card.
I think I agree with you.

My point is, if I see a car coming, I'm not going to cross the street and let it hit me. That's the reason parents teach their kids to look both ways before crossing the street. Some idiot driver, human or otherwise, may not be controlling their vehicle in a predictable manner. At 20mph, as a pedestrian I can make a good decision about crossing the street.

I feel much safer about an empty driverless car at 20mph on local roads than one full of passengers at highway speeds.

(20 mph is entirely made up, it could be higher or lower in relationship to actual human reaction times)
It feels like a direct shift in the thought processes, and as you described it, it feels as though you have become a passive observer of your own thoughts

Because it is, according to my doc. You’re looking directly at your inner thinking machinery, and moreso you can interact with it by simply asking yourself a question just before this state kicks in.

I have a little success story of using it. Previously I’ve had a fear of being late, with a heavy protective behavior, almost OCD-like. Doc wanted me to answer when and how did I get the idea that being late is so terrible. I tried hard to recall, but only simple reinforcement events came up to mind. Then he said that I should either fall asleep in that session (failed it), or repeat the question before I go to sleep at home. Just in few seconds my subconscious presented me the correct event from my childhood in full detail. One session later I was free of that fear, and now can easily plan 4-5 meetings in a row in different parts of the city, an unimaginable thing for me before.
GTA Online is a mess but offline is completely fine, and has a quite a bit of art to it whereas Cyberpunk's world just feels like it's barely keeping hold of the reigns.

The game is simply better made than Cyberpunk. It's not really a knock against CDPR, it's their first attempt up against rockstar, but there is simply not enough polish, not enough game design etc. For me to say anything else.

I wanted to love cyberpunk, but the moment I picked my faction and then was immediately funneled into the same story as everyone else it kind of set the tone for the rest of the game.

I sincerely hope they keep developing it but at the moment I can't bring myself to play at all vs. GTA which is very satisfying just to drive about a bit before I go to bed.

I think there are 2 problems:

1. Attacker-controlled data is being parsed as code (format code, not Java code). I'm not sure to what degree this is the logging library's fault vs programmer error passing attacker-controlled data as a format string. I know in Go, the standard libraries take care to help programmers avoid this problem by making sure to have the character "f" in the function name to indicate the function parameter is a format string. log.Print() takes data, log.Printf() takes a format string, log.Fatal() takes data, log.Fatalf() takes a format string.

2. The format string syntax contains significantly exploitable features if an attacker can control it. This is the same as in C, because in C, printf() contains exploitable features. This is not the case in Go, because the worst the attacker can do in Go is cause the formatting to be strange or the .String() or .Error() methods to be called on the other inputs.

Note that even without 2, 1 is still a correctness problem. If I want to log attacker-controlled data, I want it to display accurately. If the attacker's User-Agent header contains weird characters, I want those to be logged exactly, not inadvertently transformed into something strange by my library.

Complex systems are really really hard. I'm not a big fan of seeing all these folks bash AWS for this, and not really understanding the complexity or nastiness of situations like this. Running the kind of services they do for the kind of customers, this is a VERY hard problem.

We ran into a very similar issue, but at the database layer in our company literally 2 weeks ago, where connections to our MySQL exploded and completely took down our data tier and caused a multi-hour outage, compounded by retries and thundering herds. Understanding this problem under the stressful scenario is extremely difficult and a harrowing experience. Anticipating this kind of issue is very very tricky.

Naive responses to this include "better testing", "we should be able to do this", "why is there no observability" etc. The problem isn't testing. Complex systems behave in complex ways, and its difficult to model and predict, especially when the inputs to the system aren't entirely under your control. Individual components are easy to understand, but when integrating, things get out of whack. I can't stress how difficult it is to model or even think about these systems, they're very very hard. Combined with this knowledge being distributed among many people, you're dealing with not only distributed systems, but also distributed people, which adds more difficulty in wrapping this around your head.

Outrage is the easy response. Empathy and learning is the valuable one. Hugs to the AWS team, and good learnings for everyone.
