Elden Ring is easily one of the better games I've played in a good while. I still wanted to throw it away the first day.

The worst part about it is how clunky and unintuitive some of the things are, and how incredibly poor the PC port is in UX. Some controls can't even be changed, or even seen anywhere in the settings page.

In general, though, I think it's pretty safe to assume that when millions of people are enjoying something and you aren't, it's probably because it's a good thing in the grand perspective, and it's you that doesn't "get it". Assuming that it's a "meme" is kind of like ignoring overwhelming evidence proving you wrong and thinking everyone else is an idiot.

Well maybe. I still think Kurzweil's roughly on track on the exponential improvement in computing per dollar which was really an observation by him and other people as to what happens than a grand theory. Some of his other predictions seem a bit wacky.

I think the most interesting one coming up is Turing Test for 2029 which is not so far off now an it's not so obvious how that'll go.
This is fixed now!
That sounds pretty cool. Good luck.

I'd be curious on design choices like waterproofing, battery life, things like that. Also I think you mentioned your site is getting worked on but pictures to clarify what it is about would help sell it.
the main downside of this is it pretty much requires storing a full row of the image in memory, while QOI only needs to store 66 pixels.

Psychedelics May Ease Cancer Patients’ Depression, Anxiety
I pulled myself out of a family riven with poverty, addiction, bankruptcy and bad choices. My father died at 40. It was not a surprise to me when my brother, high on something that made him delusional, pulled a gun on a police officer that had pulled him over for speeding. He shot the officer multiple times. The officer survived with multiple debilitating injuries that made him unable to work again. My brother died.

The emotional devastation for my mother has been the hardest thing and my steady presence and support is something I’m proud of. My principal emotional response was extraordinary anger. I’d had multiple conversations with my brother about the dangers of his path that were ignored. I’m angry that he could be so thoughtless about our mother. I hate to say it but after my initial grief, “good riddance” was my response.

Eleven years later the grief is still raw for my mother. She is a vibrant and intelligent woman who was handed a raw deal in life. I’m trying my best to make up for that. I support her and manage her affairs. When I reflect on it my anger at my brother deepens. I don’t let it consume me. I can’t. I’m the sole surviving male in my family.
I came here to say the exact same. This doesn't seem to be a particularly well researched article.

But note that Dark Castle doesn't make any sound on jumping -- it makes a sound (often) on completion of the jump. I presume that still counts.

Is anything in your second paragraph actually true?

That is: does Pinker actually say anything like that, or did you just say he did because it makes him sound stupid and evil?
> I think it's interesting how different people view status, like the "Harvard Professor or Homeless guy?" quiz that used to get passed around.

This is counter-signalling. "I don't have to dress like a high-status individual, because I'm so high status that my high status is clear either way." It's why somewhat intelligent people use big words, but very intelligent people speak plainly: they are so intelligent their intelligence is clear even without the big words, and they want you to know that.
There is this site I found a while back, wip.chat it's like a social-media/shared to-do list but you have to pay $20/mo to use it. Maybe there's mechanics on dropping money on something that makes you stick to it. I did not sign up for wip ha.
We’ve (our team) been working on a generative, always-on interactive television show/game that uses a combination of machine learning, generative algorithms, and more, to create media content fully autonomously. We’ve been at it for 3 years now and have a fully working prototype, but recently our backend developer took a job at Amazon, so we’re short a dev to continue developing the project. Our stack is a combination of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. Happy to share videos and links to our Twitch livestream, if interested.

We think the world is trending toward niche, hyper targeted entertainment, and that generative methods are going to be the dominant way to create games, television shows, movies, and more heading into the future. You can contact me at skyler at mismatchmedia dotcom.

It's not dropped, it's optional. An OpenCL 3.0 impl with SPIR-V support would be able to run such binaries on top - but Intel are the ones who care.
Yeah this was also my complaint. Personally I’d say just output the header. That’s what `tail -n +2` or whatever is for.

Another option is to detect when being piped to another program and not print the header in those cases, similar to how many programs do color, or print the headers to stderr

Ah, that's quite interesting! I'm going through a similar process of formalization, but starting from Wikipedia (but law did indeed cross my mind as a good candidate for formalization too).

I'm also starting from a set-theoretic-like starting point, but am using Discourse Representation Theory to express it in a higher level language that is a subset of english.

It's going to be a tough sell to make a convincing point if that's one of the opening statements.
It's also quite literally an advertisement against the company. Similarly to how you can make people believe something if you just constantly bombard them with the message, a company can get a pretty bad image if people regularly see "my account was closed w/o recourse". And if people realize how volatile their accounts really are, Google (and Facebook etc) will have a massive problem.

Also, according to Jesus himself, bragging about kind acts defeats the whole purpose.

So all my respect goes towards religious (and non-religious) organizations that do the actual charitable work in the background, getting barely any recognition (or donation). And shame on those who hijack the good will of people, especially in the name of God.

If you read her questions in that case her bias and attempt to set up justification for her own preconceived opinion were clear.
Thanks, I guess like another commenter pointed out, the game/genre is just not for me.

And I feel a bit hypocritical since I do enjoy roguelikes like The Binding of Isaac, which can certainly be seen as "just" exploring, grinding, leveling up and fighting enemies. Yet for some reason in those kinds of games I get more satisfaction from progressing and the mechanics feel more enjoyable, which keeps me playing for hours on end.

I'll probably give ER a try eventually. Maybe it clicks for me this time. :)
I'm building pagespace.app, a platform to create, publish and sell longer form HTML-based content. The vision is a cross between Substack and Github for longer form content.

Why would you limit it to friendships? Why not to find colleagues? Game theoretic strategy compatibility?

The problem comes in how you'd make it real (i.e. implement) and find adoption.
At first I read the article straight, then became suspicious it was wrong on some points, then kept in mind some fallacies so I could discuss them here, then as they mounted, I gave up and just let myself be entertained.

This sentence, for instance:

> "Today’s archaeologists and anthropologists don’t express nearly as much interest as you would think in these 18th, 19th and even 20th century descriptions of giant skeletal finds, in part because there is no evidence left to examine. Amazingly, all evidence of these giant bones somehow disappeared..."

Hysterical!

How fun! There are people who genuinely believe Atlantean giants actually existed and wandered around looking inward with a third eye!
Litestream author here. The default configuration is to replicate any new changes every second to S3. This is mainly a cost issue though. S3 doesn't charge for ingress bandwidth but it does charge $0.000005 per PUT request. If you have a non-stop, continuous stream of writes against your database then that's about $12/mo. In practice, most people don't have a continuous stream of writes. Michael Lynch, for example, wrote a post about how he pays $0.03/month for his Litestream replication[1].

I've worked with Raft a lot in my career. I wrote the original etcd Raft implementation (sorry!) [2] and even wrote a visualization explaining Raft[3]. It's a great tool when you need really high durability guarantees but I'm not convinced it gives you better availability guarantees than a single node that can quickly be recovered.

I think you’d be surprised at just how many workers have effectively voted to send their own jobs overseas. They don’t know they’re doing it because politicians don’t call the bills the Send Jobs Overseas Act, they call it “raising the minimum wage” or “opening up the Chinese market”.
(Not to namedrop, but, uh) I know apenwarr glancingly IRL and he's amazing. A force of nature. When people talk about "10x" programmers I think of him.
> Another thought along these lines: quite a lot of my spreadsheet use involves doing calculations on whole columns. This is really painful in Excel, where I have to manually select just the right areas of my sheet, then write the formula—without disturbing my selections!—making sure of course that I put the result in a place where it fits. And this just gets worse with more data. In my own proof-of-concept, I implement broadcasting of all functions over arrays (à la APL or MATLAB), which makes this a lot easier, and is quite possibly the best UX improvement I’ve found. Do you have any plans to do something like this in Inflex? (I know it already has higher-order functions, but e.g. `voltage / current` is a lot easier to read and write than `zipwith(x y:x/y, voltage, current)`…)

I haven’t seriously put thought into that use-case. There’s the facility via type classes, but I’m not sure what the trade offs are with that kind of overloading. The same question applies to FRP behaviors and events. Do you explicitly require a map or list comprehensions or do you “broadcast” automatically, and if you do, what are the pitfalls?

I have put some thought into something related which is aggregations. On a given table I want to be able to add a column which implements any mapAccum over the table, such as balance over time. The code generated would be table.accum(state: row: state + row.x) for example. The UI would make it easy to pick common accumulators and folds, but also trivial to write an expression. Your voltage current example would work like that.

This arrays-of-records overlaps a bit with your records-of-arrays naturally. The two are often considered sides of the same coin and I’ve thought about using RoA internally for efficiency, but “broadcasting” to make that nice didn’t occur to me. The written simplicity is compelling, for sure.

> From my perspective, they’re definitely worth it: most of my biggest Excel mistakes have involved botched unit conversions. (If it matters, my background is physics and chemistry; most of my spreadsheet usage has been for assignments throughout my degree.)

Yeah, it’s definitely a valuable thing, I’m just not sure about the trade offs. At some point you have to stop adding features to the language, and that one didn’t convince me enough at the time.

> applying substitutions at the same time as unification

Right, I’ve seen that also on a language we develop at work. Incidentally this is needed if you want to combine two row types and assign a type to the expression.

> If it helps, I’d be more than happy to help out with development! This is an area I find incredibly interesting to work on, but my own attempt never really got past the proof-of-concept stage, and I consider duplicate development a bit of a waste.

I might only have time to discuss ideas and no time to collaborate on dev right now, but happy to swap contact details. If you drop a mail anything@inflex.io I’ll reply via my personal email.
The human world is very much "designed" in 2022. All the stuff humans have built and structured didn't just appear out of thin air.
Yes, but the problem is those are actually well established and useful so none of these VCs caught up in this crypto stuff want to talk about them. It's not even a new idea nor does it require blockchains. It's made strictly worse by blockchains, the only thing that does is add another unnecessary layer of middlemen.
True, but the political environment is set by the state/province level way more than the city level. This penalizes places like Austin as it can’t escape Texas. Similarly, Montreal vs Quebec.
Here here. On one hand, she makes an attempt to "Sam Harris" the issue of conspiracy by recognizing that a persons circumstances lead them to their beliefs. It's obvious some segment of "the establishment" was lying to us over certain parts of covid. The problem is that people can't tell why they are lying and then fill in that part of the narrative in their head with conspiracy. With a 0.5% death rate, why the mind job to all of society over this thing? Is there something else you guys know about covid that we don't about yet? Is long covid the reason? But anyone who at least thinks a little bit can see the stench and coverup about the origins of sars-cov2 and gets derailed right there. Then we have massive censoring of social media about any discussion of covid which again forces people into their conspiracy narratives. The establishment is its own worst enemy.

Another issue is that the establishment tries to put vaccines in a separate box from the rest of modern human inventions and its a total disaster. Sure, vaccines are well tested, but look at what happened with the advent of PCB's, Agent Orange, Asbestos, Benzine, etc. The last 100 years has trained everyone to expect modern chemistry to be a disaster. You can't separate that knowledge from vaccines and say "this time it's different". Of course, none of those other chemicals were tested in the context of being injected into the human body, but that's just details at this point for most people. Combined with reducing a testing regiment that should run over a decade to 1 year and you no longer get to stand on your high-ground and say "your vaccine fears are misplaced". No, the onus is on the system to be 100% transparent and honest. But we didn't get any of that, in fact the stench of rot continues to linger:

Wow, I'm impressed how grumpy one can seem in a few short sentences. Take an upvote for that alone.

GP has a certain - admittedly orthogonal - point. At what point does "just two coffees per month" translate into "too many coffees traded for services"?

If it's relevant, a fairly high-end black coffee made from medium-roasted in-house coffee beans - which I strongly enjoy - costs me $1.70 in my local economy.

So this costs me 5x coffees, or a work-week of coffee. And I'm a pretty well-paid foreigner living in a strange land.

If I were to take a charitable reading of the GP - with no expertise in economics on my side - I'd say they were pointing out that you are potentially losing a 65+% of your market for whom $9 is not "a couple of coffees".

That's not an indictment - maybe you don't care! Maybe 100x customers @ $9 = $900/month and the service pays for itself.

I am a big fan of what I think is Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) / Pay What You Can (PWYC), even though I see it pretty rarely.

I guess it depends on whether you want to provide your product/service to as many people it can benefit at once, versus the minimum number of people who can support your costs with a profit.

Neither position is inherently "wrong"/"privileged", they just seem to have different incentives and/or target markets.

The voice of a potential target market that is being excluded seems valuable to me - even if the revenue increase might be negligible per-user, perhaps it's worth considering the volume of potential users in that market :shrug:

(To re-iterate that I'm trying not to pick a side here: maybe it's not - maybe the business model is to target affluent consumers. That doesn't make criticism of the exclusionary nature of this approach "privileged", however, in my view. YMMV)

(Edit: minor emphasis)
In floating point 2^54 == 1+2^54 and 1/0 == 2/0 == -ln(0). Every floating point value is an ambiguous result of infinitely many calculations with real numbers. When you do an invalid calculation, the most important thing to know is that you did something invalid.
Is globalization a liberal cause? I’m of the impression that conservatives like how globalization affects the stock market, and presumably vote for more of it. Also, wasn’t Nixon the one who opened the market with China? Not exactly a liberal, right?

I also think you’re using the word “liberalism” pretty loosely here. There’s the group of people that conservatives call “liberals” which is sort of anything left of conservative politics, and then there is the actual political ideology, and as far as I can tell you’re talking about the former.

Or maybe you’re not American and thus “liberal” means something entirely different to you, I really can’t tell.
