This comes with code for an Android app, ESP32 and it that seems to work, with those lovely mistakes and solutions this is really an impressive project. I've fried buck converter trying that same solution, so be warned you always want the brightess tool in the shed.
Konami don't have their own arcade shops, but they still make many arcade machines. Sega would do the same thing.
Doom was written mainly in C but the important bits like the span rasterization for the DOS version were written in assembly. The released code was for the Linux version that didn't use assembly so the DOS was only as part of a README file[0]. The sound code was licensed (and thus never released to the public) and most likely also used assembly as that was common at the time.

Quake also used assembly for a few bits (also, like Doom, had C versions for portability).

That is what i meant when i wrote "use assembly", not to write the entire game in assembly (which is why i also gave my maze renderer as an example - pretty much all of it was in C except a tiny part).

> I just throw out papers that don’t publish datasets and code

There was an interesting research paper that claimed you could up your IQ with a computer game called dual n back and a lot of paper tried to replicate it, but my mind was blown when I realized none of them used the same code. None of them actually shared the code they used for their research and then they all claimed they were testing the same thing when they obviously weren't.

To me, refusing to share the source code to a program that could be used to replicate your research seems like a big middle finger to science itself. It shows a total disregard to study replication.
Not at all contentious.

Universities throughout the US had to be repeatedly sued over their varying attempts to remain segregated. In the absence of any forcing function they would miraculously end up excluding black students.

As far as the quotes: people who continue to believe that racism both current and historical has no impact call any form of affirmative action a quota. This is despite multiple rulings, and implementations that require race be considered, only if everything else is equal.

For another form of affirmative action we can look at legacy admissions. They make 10-15% of the annual enrollments in schools that have them, and are overwhelmingly white due to the practice of of banning non-white students that only became illegal in the 60s, and that southern states tried to continue well into the 80s. Interestingly you can argue that legacy admissions in public universities inherently violate the Constitution.
That biography was remarkably poorly written (constantly goes into cheap human interest without questioning anyone's statements, Bill Gates is directly quoted as saying a "floppy drive has too low latency" instead of "high") but it might be possible to learn something from it.

Personally I think it makes the strongest arguments for 1. be born in the 50s 2. do drugs 3. marry Laurene Powell Jobs. "Dedication" doesn't describe a lot of his life, especially not before #3.

You lost me on being against ABS. I understand your position being that automation reduces the senatorial feedback, it is an abstraction with loss of information, but in the case of ABS there is nothing a driver can do better than an ABS, no matter how much feedback they have.

Regarding the other examples of driving aids, yes, those are abstractions with some drawbacks, and a top-of-the-curve driver could do a better job without it. But still they could be a net positive because of the benefit they bring to not-that-good drivers.

Screens though, those I agree 100% shouldn't be on a car.
But someone with an invested interest in research funding that research doesn't inherently mean the conclusion is wrong. If anything your suggestion would lead to more conspiracy theories and not less as people are now more focused on the motives for the research rather than the body of that research.
Its just a shame about the quality of the food itself :)
Right, because the media and academic environments following the moon landing were (for all their faults) much more committed to objectivity and neutrality than they have been in the last 10 years.
Science does eventually self-correct, but unfortunately it takes far too long to do so.

One area I've studied pretty extensively is the history of cancer treatment. In the long story of the history of cancer treatment, it is absolutely scandalous how often the scientific consensus was wrong and persisted for years in spite of the evidence. For example, the radical mastectomy for the treatment of breast cancer continued to be used for many years, leaving many women disfigured, in spite of wide evidence that it did not produce better outcomes vs more restrained breast tissue removal.

In the history of science, many of these kinds of bad ideas have persisted simply due to deference/seniority - the incentives are all stacked towards paying your dues and not challenging the status quo and absolutely not towards being right/following the actual scientific method. There is a reason the saying "Science advances one funeral at a time" exists - as Max Planck noted: "a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
That and noise too.

I just recently started using Beancount for tracking my personal finances and I really like it so far. I've written some custom importers to parse CSVs from various financial institutions and auto-categorize some of the expenses, income, etc. based on regex matching on the transaction description from the CSV.

I'm able to auto-categorize many of the transactions this way but there will always be some to which I need to manually apply categories. For example, entering "Expenses:Restaurants" for a restaurant I've never been to and thus don't have a corresponding matching rule. I also occasionally add new matching rules and then re-run the importer to generate a new ledger with the new auto-categorizations.

Once I edit the ledger file though I can't rerun the importer or else I'll lose my manually entered labels. Do I just add those one-off entries to the matching rules? Or is there a better way to handle this? Would be curious to hear how others are approaching auto-labeling expenses, etc.

Police, most roads, and certain aspects of the legal system are free at the point of usage. It’s bad to have for profit police, court system, and Air Force. Some things ought not be profit driven. It’s quite disconcerting that someone sees no problem with a person profiting from denying healthcare. I should not be able to enrich myself by denying you health care. Tough decisions need to be made and the motive for the decision should not be profit.

I am not more important than you or anyone else. I don’t deserve health care before you just because I have more money. That’s a perverse idea. Unfortunately too many Americans embody the Bible’s warning regarding the love of money.
I'm going to be a bit fanciful here, but it's a serious question. What implications does this have, if any, for the possibility of human civilizations older than currently known being completely erased by the ice? Is that plausible? How much rock would have to get scraped and pulverized into future magma to wipe out all evidence of a civilization?

> 2. The command will be echoed to your history file.

Important caveat: this goes into an in-memory history buffer; the history file is written when bash exits. This means that if you have multiple shells open, you will lose the history from all but the last shell to exit.
In my experience, samples, although I don't know exactly why. But it's why you can get lower latency glitch-free audio with higher sample rates.
As someone who also works in Academia it is astonishing how many people come into this thread who have no background in the field cast doubt on you. There is a serious degree of conservatism there is among liberals who think that science and academics should not dare be questioned.
Incredible that you cite Brett and Eric Weinstein as credible sources of information. Those guys are charlatans through and through.
I'm no x86 assembly expert but what I learned, I learned by reverse engineering.
I don't know if that will teach you what you want to learn but I thought it was useful - I'd learned Atmel AVR assembly years ago so I knew the concepts. I looked at some short functions of Visual C++/gcc-generated assembly then I looked up the instructions and before too long I was familiar enough with the 20 to 30 instructions that most modern compilers use.
I see the root cause of all this debate as a failure in scientific communication.

When it comes to complex scientific decisions with significant impacts on the public, nuanced and detailed justifications are required. Instead, we often get simple declarations written by PR departments at juvenile reading level. This spawns chaotic and poorly conducted debate in all walks of life.

What is required is a robust and transparent framework for honest analyses of topics.
For example, if the CDC has a specific recommendation, They should provide an outline of the arguments, counter-arguments, assumptions, and supporting data for each part.

It seems that the status quo is to completely ignore any arguments against a given recommendation. This suffocates any honest discussion in the crib. It also suggests to some that the justifications are not robust enough to survive the light of day. If you cant show your work, people will be skeptical that you did it all.

This is applicable to any science based public policy, but especially obvious to covid policy.

I was at a chuck e cheese recently (just before the pandemic) to attend a child's birthday party. At least at the one I visited, there were no recent arcade machines. Most of the machines were really crappy gambling machines. There were a few extremely outdated video game machines, but not many. It was a far cry from what I remember from my youth but maybe it was always like this?

with the dizzying speed, complexity and volumes of reference materials, the single word "degraded" does not have enough descriptive power to start to be interesting. Its just so much more of everything, so much faster, plus all the factors named here.
That reminds me of the time, way back when I was a teenager and hung out with the wrong crowd, I learned (and saw demonstrated!) that soda vending machines of the time were trivial to steal from. It probably did a fair amount of damage. Take a soda bottle filled with salt water, blast it into the coin slot, start pushing the buttons and watch all the cans get dispensed. Not necessary to muck about with the lock.
> Android hardware is weak

Is it ? I'm using a 4 years old $200 phone which suits me just fine, if not for stupid apps requiring more resources for a worst experience. The only reason of upgrade is battery wearing off.

Any Google related issues might be mitigated switching to LineageOS as the hardware is relatively open.
I wonder if he will prescribe himself Paxlovid, come the day. We might get better anti-virals, with time.

The notion of herd immunity became untenable once we knew COVID-19 was spreading in domestic animal populations. Everyone will get it sooner or later, regardless of vaccinations, boosters, what-have-you; the best possible outcome will be not knowing you have it, which many will experience. Many will get it semi-regularly, like cold and flu.
That might be what comes to pass in the far future. It's possible for something to be a good and creative tool and also capable of terrible things.

I think the gain of function research that may have lead to covid could possibly have had interesting applications, but it also (possibly) lead to something terrible, probably best to regulate it more.

In fiction AI is banned in Dune and Warhammer 40k because of past events. It makes sense that if something really bad happened because of AI you might want to put regulations on development of it.
> I would like the driver profile menu to be quickly available

This annoys me because our Model 3 can never decide who is getting in for a drive. Without fail it trys to adjust the seat to accommodate my 5 foot partner when my 6 foot frame is in the seat.

The removal of the profile icon makes undoing this even more of a chore.
The writing is so sloppy.

Just from the beginning:

> Despite its scale, Microsoft is one of the most overlooked companies in tech.

What's the standard of overlookness? I never for a moment feel MSFT was overlooked, by any measure of sampling.

> It is not a beloved consumer brand like Apple, Facebook, Amazon, or Google.

In 90s, MSFT used to be thought as one of the 2 pillars of THE PC industry as a whole. And MSFT was commonly thought to be the more powerful one of the wintel dual.

MSFT lost its glamour when the anti monopoly suit hit them hard.

Then very loosely speaking MSFT lost a lot of battle in the 2010s.

But still, MSFT has a much longer history than FB and Google. Theese 3 enjoyed probably similar scale of love from their users. And FB is the one with the least amount of love in their hayday.

Apple is a different story. They always have a particularly cult like following that skewed every commentators' perspective.

> It was not a venture capital success story: Microsoft was too profitable to raise real VC money, so the founders owned 70% at IPO.

What? BC has been much smaller in the days of MSFT. You should say BC was not favored not MSFT was not relevant to VC. It was after MSFT created the PC market, and enabled Internet, then that the entrapeneriship becomes much cheaper through online economy. Then the VC becomes a central force of the high tech industry.

You are asking the father to be judged by its grandson for greatness...

> It is the oldest of FAMGA, hidden away in a different state.

What?... Why not included HP, DEC, Fairchild then... Of course some is old some is young. The fact that MSFT lives for so long is a symbol of success itself...

Thus mumbling of words are unbearable...

Across the academy, there is a movement away from the mission of seeking truth to the mission of seeking justice. The exact sciences are about a decade behind the social sciences in this transition.
Your point is clearer to me now. No, you can't literally recover money simply because you have a photograph of it. There is a recovery path for damaged and destroyed money, highly dependent on the serial number (which is why 50% of the note is typically requested)

In your opinion, when was most scientific research not flawed or "useless"? Remember, the Einsteins, Clarks, etc of the world were wildly exceptional outliers.

Do you really think that if you were to look at most research done between 1897 and 1922, the overall quality would be higher? And that there would be less social factors competing with the integrity of work?
This is the default, but you can get around this behavior by writing to history immediately.

Dubious assumes that my agenda is based on laziness which is in itself lazy. I read the article and my opinion is in alignment with the question everything that you don't understand camp which is the majority of anti-vax arguments regardless of the efficacy of the thing you are arguing against. No one ever claimed that these "vaccines" where a permanent solution. Everyone intelligent and capable of following along knew that getting "vaccinated" was not going to be for more than 6 months due to the fact that this was a rushed operation. No one claims that this was a tried and true solution and most agree that it was and still is a stop gap until we reach a greater immunity. How you choose to reach that is truly up to you. You can catch the virus multiple times and take a higher chance of possible death or take the vaccine and still catch it with a lower chance. It should be your choice but it also has ramifications for your pocketbook and further chance of "getting ahead" within this western healthcare system that so obviously is a bane to the income potential of individuals. When I argue for "vaccination" I'm not just advocating for your health but for your future income and that you should not succumb to the powers that be that will happily take your money downstream but in larger sums. I find it hilarious that people argue for questioning something that potentially could up their odds for getting bamboozled down the line.

You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

I've always felt voting was a bad idea. It drives candidates to waste inordinate amounts of time and money on campaigning. For many posts, the ancient Athenians selected people at random (sortition) usually from a pool of willing candidates. A large enough random selection would be represenative. This would work well for the US House of Representatives.

Your comment implies that you don't want representatives, you want other people to vote for whatever it is you want. All I can say to that is: ask God for the serenity to accept those things you cannot change.
Agreed, it can be very difficult for anyone to make useful decisions outside of just trusting the existing consensus.

I mean there is no real way for me to know if a vaccine is safe. I assume it is, and prefer to gamble on it not harming me and potentially helping the current situation.

But there is really no way for me to know for sure.

To put it another way, when the Omicron variant emerged, there were newspaper articles that often showed pictures of the spike protein labelled with different mutations.

As it happens, I did research in protein structural bioinformatics, so I have a good idea what the detail in these images 'mean' in a certain sense. However they are of zero use in making a single meaningful decision about how to alter my behaviour (or not!).

Of course, the journalists add these images as decoration, but to me it symbolises the mass of irrelevant detail provided. Which is not the same as saying 'just believe science!' as that is also wrong and unhelpful.

I'm not sure what the answer is, really.

Well the trust has to be earned by a history of proven visibly good outcomes. Never forget that there is a long history of cases where the established scientifically accepted ideas were actually harmfully wrong, particularly in the medical arena. In the USA in particular, medical practice is far from a benign charity, so people are right to question. One example: I had a tonsillectomy when I was a kid. No actual evidence that this is good medicine..

On the other hand, I don't disagree that the level of misinformation is ridiculous. It's difficult to understand why someone would trust someone with a popular podcast so much more than licensed professionals. Maybe there shouldn't be censorship, but where are the medical malpractice claims against these people? I think it's all tied in with the general acceptance of the "these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA" supplement industry. As long as your supplement does not do too much direct harm, we allow it.
