Because incentives. The beauty of crypto/web3 is to reward the service providers with incentives for their services. Nobody is going to provide things for free and even if they do it won't be sustainable in the long run.
If you're not imposing the requirement that someone create a AAA game, then No, I definitely know enough artist+devs who can create a high end engine from scratch as well as the art assets.

I can definitely drop into any part of the graphics pipeline from graphics programming, to art creation and AI etc... and have done so on multiple projects.

That said, doing it all by a single individual is a massive undertaking and incredibly unlikely.

That's why it comes down to capability vs execution. It's definitely possible for a single individual to be able to do each part of the process over multiple projects, but unlikely they could do it all on a single one by themselves.
But I do think that simple stories are also worth a read if you haven't read those kinds yet. There is a reason for kids to read simple stories, if you didn't read them before it might be worth to read them even as an adult to fill a hole. So basically if it looks like you have already read the story then there is no need to read it again.

Btw, I didn't downvote you, I never up/downvote people. I do like responding to downvoted people though.
Thanks for this. Never would have thought of this perspective for myself. "What would the alien be thinking?"
One way to look at it is through the eyes of a Regret Minimization Framework. Which path leads to the fewest or least serious regrets later in life.

> The MMR vaccine is very safe and effective. Two doses of MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles; one dose is about 93% effective.

Prevention of Measles, Rubella, Congenital Rubella Syndrome, and Mumps, 2013 Summary Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) at https://www.jstor.org/stable/24832555

> One dose of measles-containing vaccine administered at age ≥12 months was approximately 94% effective in preventing measles (range: 39%–98%) in studies conducted in the WHO Region of the Americas (141,142). Measles outbreaks among populations that have received 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine are uncommon. The effectiveness of 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine was ≥99% in two studies conducted in the United States and 67%, 85%–≥94%, and 100% in three studies in Canada (142–146). The range in 2-dose vaccine effectiveness in the Canadian studies can be attributed to extremely small numbers (i.e., in the study with a 2-dose vaccine effectiveness of 67%, one 2-dose vaccinated person with measles and one unvaccinated person with measles were reported [145]). This range of effectiveness also can be attributed to age at vaccination (i.e., the 85% vaccine effectiveness represented children vaccinated at age 12 months, whereas the ≥94% vaccine effectiveness represented children vaccinated at age ≥15 months [146]). Furthermore, two studies found the incremental effectiveness of 2 doses was 89% and 94%, compared with 1 dose of measles-containing vaccine (145,147). Similar estimates of vaccine effectiveness have been reported from Australia and Europe (Table 1) (141).

No mention of vitamin C. Given that "After exposure, up to 90% of susceptible persons develop measles", it seems very unlikely that differences in vitamin C play an important role.

What are your sources? I found nothing on PubMed nor Google Scholar, though I did find that vitamin C is promoted to antivaxxers (eg, http://www.amcli.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/bmj-measles-f... ).

You write "depend strongly on nutrition deficiencies", which my cited article describes as "In low to middle income countries where malnutrition is common, measles is often more severe and the case-fatality ratio can be as high as 25%".

That's calorie deficient, but not specifically vitamin deficient.

> Here's an option for function symbols: when A is used for the first time, write a stub for A to the final binary and call that. When a definition for A is seen, patch the stub to jump to the definition

Sorta like the trampolines linker will insert if it can't reach the code.

Symbol resolution has lots of complicated rules. But I suppose if we are designing a new system we aren't bound to those.

I would suggest that, relative to this new link-less compilation, the baseline link behavior should be considered like a static optimization that trades off static build time against code size and execution performance.
The 4th worst maternal mortality rate in the entire OECD too. That would be the mother dying during childbirth. [1] More than double Canada in 2018 and 10X New Zealand. [2] Without getting into your data re: infants (because I do not know enough to do so), I suspect this one's not as easy to hand-wave.

The results of the study carried out in [2] say:

The U.S. has a relative undersupply of maternity care providers, especially midwives, and lacks comprehensive postpartum supports.

American healthcare is acceptable if you can afford it and a death sentence if you can't.

Humans are social animals. Probably the majority of our inherent behaviors are not recognized as genetically determined just because most of us have not even noticed they are behaviors at all; we can barely imagine a way of life without them.

One thing I am certain of: you eat when you are hungry, and drink when you are thirsty, and breathe all the damn time, and not because you are so rationally aware that not doing those enough would make you die.
What is going on with the denial of responsibility? Do you really get to say "oops, don't sue me" in advance?
It depends what features you're looking for, but I've found VLC (available on F-Droid) to be one of the nicer ones. It does video playing also and has gestures like skipping forwards and backwards, so I'd have it installed anyway, and so I configured it to also scan my music folder. Mostly I just go into all songs and play on shuffle but you can also select by artist and stuff.
People don't realize that part of the value of Spotify is providing cataloging and search for you.
We are on the educated side of the internet populace. I can only imagine worse things when this happens to the non-educated, especially in developing countries like India, where almost everyone has an (mobile) internet connection these days.

It's interesting to think about how the very basis of our internet identities, that is the email, can be so easily abused by someone who has bad intent.
The endless discussion of pros and cons of Linux desktop and whether this is the year get tiring. Only so much can be said. It’s definitely getting closer and for a lot of setups is perfectly serviceable, but for business and ecosystem reasons it doesn’t really matter.

What I’m more fascinated by here is:

A) the situation on windows is so bad that even the most engaged/supportive people (the type of person who writes for Windows Central) are fed up and trying to move. This is a big deal. Microsoft should notice, if anything just so working on Windows doesn’t become an embarrassing job they have to pay engineers extra to do. But also because wow, they have screwed that product bad over the past 10 years. Imagine if DaringFireball, or Jason Snell, or any 9to5mac contributor was writing “2022 is the year I’m giving up Mac for Windows”

B) the comment section is fascinating. I don’t really understand it. I wish I could meet some of these people in real life. There is a real, almost religion-like defense of Windows. I don’t get it. I’ve been a windows fanboy in the past so I get having a slightly irrational appreciation for it, but I can’t imagine ever writing anything like that. I was still playing around with Linux and still playing around with macOS (before it was called that of course) and iPhone and all the other things. I don’t have much insight, but I hope others do.

According to the about page, Windows Central is the home for “the most loyal and passionate Microsoft fans” which certainly seems to be true. https://www.windowscentral.com/about

>release the object file's space in the final executable, and allocate new space for the new object file.

Except, the size of the object file will inevitably change. So you are stuck reimplementing a mini-filesystem with logic for allocating/freeing blocks within your final executable, or loading the entire old version in memory, and then producing the new one from scratch. Or, you just keep things in separate files, let the OS handle it for you and go sip some champagne on a New Year's Eve...

Really, C/C++ build logic sucks in many ways, but adding an extra level of complexity to the linking process won't make it better. If you want something cool, check out C++20 modules [0] instead. They will make compilation dramatically faster when used properly.

POWER has 8-way SMT. More than 2-way SMT is definitely useful in some cases, but it does not exist on any x86 chip, so it doesn't matter if you try to use more threads in software. The hardware can only handle 2 per core.
Thanks for the term. That’s helps with searches. :)
And the answers are randomized for each pageload. Can be a good thing, or it can be annoying if it's more of a scale kind of thing. Then again, polls aren't used that much anyway so having this as only option is fine.
> ogg

Since we're being sticklers in this thread, ogg is the container, and ogg is a pretty standard container for opus.
The CPUs can only run two threads per core at a time. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you make more software threads; only 8 will actually run at a time.

All CPU resources aren't actually saturated, as there will still be idle execution units, but since the CPU can't actually dispatch another thread to make use of those units, there's nothing you can do about that.
If the data was sent as part of normal operation, then yes, it should be fine. But the post above is talking about incrementing an ID in a query, or inject SQL.

The intent of the person doing the incrementing id, or sql injection, is very much required to be taken in to consideration when considering whether it is an illegal act of computer trespass.

Explain to me what the title of the piece: "Intellectual Loneliness" means.
Oh this is awesome! Thanks!
Interesting when you start to compare with C++ stdlib which only has shared_ptr, being the equivalent to Arc, but no single-threaded equivalent Rc. Usually the argument you hear is that the performance difference is negligible.

One could also argue that you shouldn't use any kind of refcounter in a tight loop where it can affect performance as much as it did there. Refactoring the code a bit to allow passing by reference there would likely help even more. Still cool to see that just changing to Rc gave that much gain.
Also: brush your teeth and take out the trash

What crypto has unveiled is the total and utter moral and intellectual bankruptcy of financial regulations.

Take token sales. Before the SEC entered the scene in 2017, tens of thousands, and possibly millions of people were able to participate in early stage investment. The result is that those projects that conducted their initial round of venture capital fundraising before 2017, via permissionless token sales, have a much more distributed ownership structure than those that conducted their initial round in accordance with SEC rules:

https://i.ibb.co/qCjJWJb/FAK6ao-HVc-AAg-V-i.jpg

Amongst the projects listed in the graph, Ethereum, Cardano, Cosmos, PolkaDot, Tron, EOS and Tezos all had their initial token sale before the SEC's involvement in 2017, and consequently have majority public/community ownership of their tokens. Some of these projects, like Ethereum, gave ordinary people 1,000X+ returns on their investment.

A study on this brief experiment in permissionless, unregulated venture capital financing concurs, unveiling that token sales massively expanded financial inclusivity:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11408-020-00366-0

"The average ICO has almost 4700 contributors. The median contributor invests a relatively small amount. The ICO market appears to have successfully given access to the financing of innovation to a new class of investors, which is a long-standing public policy issue"

The rest of the platforms in the graphic, like Flow, Solana and Avalanche, conducted their initial token sale after SEC involvement, and the majority of their tokens are consequently owned by insiders, constituted by a tiny cadre of VC firms, who got to monopolize the initial token sale and thus enjoy 1,000X+ gains.

This amounts to an obscene exacerbation of wealth inequality in the crypto space, due to SEC enforcement of securities regulations.

Now the old token sale could be shut down by the SEC. New methods of token distribution and project bootstapping cannot be, or at least cannot so easily, and they are resurrecting the financial renaissance that existed between early 2016 and late 2017.
I've never tried Ruby, but would love to try out that synth and its visualizations. Do you plan on making them available?
It’s not just that online polls do not provide valid data, it’s that they provide misleading data.
I know it is new years but you sound like an angry drunk. I know there are lots of risks in life I have taken many of them. I used to work at a Bungy jump and jumped hundreds of times. I ride a motorcycle at high speeds. I was simply commenting to the fact that your original comment did not respond correctly to the ops comment. He said a bug in the system as in a computer error bug and you went off and said there is not bug that big that would be mistaken, he wasn't talking about an insect but a computer error. Then you said that is not how reflections work, and again not true it could reflect into your eye not simply because he was looking at it but it would also take a certain angle but op was making a general statement about possible dangers. You are very defensive about this just chill out and accept that we are just discussing some of the possible dangers of such a system. We are, after all, talking about lasers and it would be totally irresponsible if such a system was built and all the modes of failure not explored. Not likely to happen does not mean you do not discuss it. Have a happy new years.

> My argument is simple: Medicare for All entails higher taxes on high earners, which stunts wealth building and economic mobility, especially for high earners who grew up in poverty.

This is an absolutely tiny fraction because most poor people can't afford the healthcare necessary to actually thrive in the economy. Ditto the education. What we need is equality of opportunity, and that requires social services.

> I'm against the income redistribution part of Medicare for All, for aforementioned reasons.

I'm completely uninterested in this. Unless tied to income it's a regressive tax that punishes the poor disproportionately along the axis of marginal utility of money.

> Once again, polls are incredibly misleading and dependent on the wording used in the survey. You need only look at surveys of Obamacare vs. the ACA to see this effect.

This is a different subject and so not relevant. Everyone knows what Medicare is. The only thing most right-wingers know about Obamacare is that Obama created Obamacare. Really it's more like Romneycare for All as it's essentially a Republican policy. There's not a single left-leaning thing about making every individual pay a private company for healthcare. You're not showing a skew in reality, just marketing.

I suspect Americans would feel differently if they knew that Obamacare single handedly dropped the rate of people dying from lack of cover by almost 50% per annum.

> You continually try to engage in asking the same questions by claiming to not understand all the statistics I've given you and I don't believe you're conversing in good faith anymore. Goodbye.

Respectfully disagree. I've successfully refuted every concrete point you've made up to and including whether "the left can pass such a bill" and whether you really need cataract surgery tomorrow.

I wish you the best. Medicare for all is coming. It's just a matter of time.

However, you have failed to answer my core question. Do you think that Medicare should be abolished? Should Medicaid? If so, why? And in what concrete ways do you think that would make America a better place? More efficient? And why is 65 the magic age at which "socialism" finally starts to make sense?
> if you were on one of the most popular websites on the planet in a default subreddit, chances were you were pretty average with average intelligence.

This isn't true. If you have a very popular website and take the most common threads people might read on it, then you will likely have at least a few hundred thousand people viewing it. If 1% of the smartest 2% comments you would have a maybe a hundred comments from people who would qualify for mensa if the viewers were random people, basically flooding the comment section.

The reason this works is that people will flock to threads that is about something relating to them. People who do well on IQ tests will flock to threads about intelligence etc.
Not to mention a lot of indie games are released native to Linux and there's so many choices compared to 20 years ago, that I would just skip the game for something else if it's not at least Proton compatible.
Scientists heading to the Belgian station are probably fairly smart. As for compliance, my experience with highly intelligent people is that they tend to be less compliant or predictable than others, so you may be right that this was due to a lapse in compliance.
Ask HN: Is it still worth learning Kubernetes in 2022?
I'm building up a list of technology to learn in 2022 and I'm wondering if going deep dive into K8s is worth the time.

Background: I'm a ML Engineer building up skillsets in MLOPs. I have experience with AWS and have a couple of AWS certs under my belt. For now, I'm reviewing how deep I should go with K8s, e.g. getting CKA certified etc.

Thoughts, please?
Even the rendering equation isn't fully realistic; it doesn't capture wave optics phenomena like, say, grate diffraction.
I agree. I was using almost entirely lossless until five years ago or so, when I did some ABX tests (there's a good foobar plugin for those interested) and realised that 256+ kbps LAME was indistinguishable from lossless 24/96 to my ears -- even when actively comparing the two in a quiet room, which obviously is very different to just listening casually while commuting etc.

I kept the lossless files for archival purposes but everything on my phone/laptop is ~320 LAME VBR.

That said, soon after that I switched to Spotify and only rarely listen to my own files now. The convenience and ability to discover new music just doesn't compare.
I wonder though whether this is a situation where everyone agrees that only 5% of a book is good, but no one agrees on which 5%.
I think it's worth playing this out a bit, because I'd claim there's an exponential curve here.

Offer someone 500m (hell, even 1m for many) for one year, and I doubt you'd find many who would say no. There's a margin at which you would be losing so much life experience that you wonder what you even live for (20y), while shorter periods (1, 2, 5, even 10y) aren't so defined.

Also, I read this as you lose 20y from the point of the deal (eg. 20yold coming back as a 40yold) rather than taking years off the end of your life, which I suspect is a more palatable interpretation for most.
You're conflating bitcoin mining with ethereum mining. Anyone with a GPU can mine eth and therefore the capital requirements are far lower. Now, of course if you want to make big money, then that requires big capital... but that could be said of nearly any business out there.
I love Mp3s for everything except masters of my own music. For that I render everything to WAV. For everyone else's music WAV is fine because I don't need to master it or upload it to spotify.

The primary problem with keeping my own audio library is that modern music player makers often mess with me. They hobble their free apps, screwing up basic functionality (like the music skip buttons, playlist and UI controls, and random play modes).. features that have been around working just fine since CDs were invented just to encourage me to purchase a copy of their (supposedly) normally functioning app, which probably is a rebranded fork of winamp with no real changes, for 10$. Seeing as I can't trust them because they play around with ruining standard functionality of a music player app, many of them have deleted songs from my library over time (ehem... Google Play Music) Luckily I keep backups elsewhere in 2 other places. Phone makers getting rid of headphone jacks also wasn't enough to make me quit using Mp3s, so not much else will stop me... Let's not bad mouth them and give greedy corps ideas. If we only have spotify, then frankly music will be terrible, and bots will play commercials before every song by 2025, and I don't want to live in a world where I don't pick my own music.

I don't trust app makers anymore since artificial malfunctions have been introduced to encourage upgrades.. But I'll stick with Mp3s thank you, because they play in more devices and if worst comes to worse, I'll just charge my iPod and move to the mountains where there is no wifi.
Added Pixar to the list. Thanks!
