If your game has enemies, you could give each unit its own brain. Behind the scenes you could have a "gene pool". When a unit dies it's removed from the pool. When it performs well (eg. damages player or wins the game) the unit can reproduce. Then you add the usual stuff (mutate parameters, cross-breeding fittest units).

For training you could just make two AI teams play against each other (off the cuff, 10-100k games should do the trick). Once you release the game, you could sample the best AI from each player's machine. Free distributed neuroevolution cluster ;)

Thanks, but why?

For both Mars and the Sun, we need to escape Earth's gravity, so the energy seems roughly the same there.

If we direct an object at the Sun or Mars, with the same momentum, it will eventually get to either. What is the difference?

If you mean it takes 55 times more energy to get to the Sun or Mars in the same fixed time interval, that I could see. (For our theoretical space trash, the start of this subthread, it doesn't matter how long it takes.)

I've worked with a lot of game engines, and indeed made my own engines and editors.

My reason for making my own was partly that it felt like less work to write what I needed than to learn the intricacies of an existing engine. Also, back then the big engines didn't have as generous licenses as now.

As for Unity and Unreal: I found them both very easy to get into and get productive with.
I spent 20 years in the USMC reserve, I enlisted while I was at high-end west coast liberal arts college in the first trimester. I felt college was a little too easy and lacked challenge. I went on to reenlist, become a chief warrant officer, start an MBA program, activate for OIF, become the first Combat MBA in Pepperdine History and retire after 20 years.

I brought 2 ESGER complaints, due to harassment for being in the reserves. I missed out on civilian promotions, weekend parties, social events, etc.

I still don't think I would have changed a thing. The experiences I have had shaped me into what I am today. The only thing close to my experience in the Marine Corps vs. the civilian world would be working on a start-up because they are fun and exciting and everyone is working as a team.

I spent more time refueling my ICE than I do my EV. I've spent 0 minutes waiting to charge meanwhile I spent a few hours last year going out of my way to gas stations and pumping gas. Over the course of several years, it won't even come close to the amount of time wasted pumping gas versus all the time saved charging at home.

If more people had EVs and charged at home/work/the mall/the grocery store, there wouldn't be a line waiting just to pump gas. They wouldn't be waiting to pump gas, their cars would have already been fully charged at home or their cars would be charging in the parking lot and they'd be in the store shopping instead of sitting in their car burning fuel running their A/C or heat idling in line.
That percentile can vary pretty significantly based on where you live.

The celebrity-persona parasocial identification scale (CPI) is designed to measure how media consumers develop identification with celebrities or popular fictional characters. Identification is defined as a persuasion process that occurs when an individual adopts the behavior or attitudes of another individual or group based on a self-defining relationship (Kelman, 1961, p. 63). Identification is a psychological orientation through which individuals define themselves based on their group membership and derive "strength and a sense of identity" from the affiliation (Kelman, 1961). Identification is often confused or entangled with parasocial interaction. Although both parasocial interaction and identification are both forms of audience involvement, they are distinct processes (Brown, Basil, & Bocarnea, 2003b, Brown & Fraser, 2006). Parasocial interaction often predicts identification because people commonly seek to adopt the values, beliefs, and behaviors of celebrities and media persona whom they admire. However, there are examples of celebrities that fans have strong parasocial interaction with, and yet the fans do not want to be like that person (Matviuk, 2006). This brief chapter discusses various aspects of the CPI online survey and its use in these contexts. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)

Lenovo is a big one but they acquired IBM and Motorola so not looks like Chinese homegrown.
Most people in the US live in single family homes. A ton of those homes have plenty of power capacity to add an EV to charge at home overnight. Sure, things might be complicated for apartment dwellers at the moment, but a massive percentage of the commuter miles driven in the US could be easily handled with EVs without massive infrastructure change.

I think the idea here is important, but the word choice could be better clarified.

What she is describing is the difference between being polite, and being good.

Knowing how to be polite is an important skill for social decorum and practicing empathy.

But politeness is performative, it is "skin-deep"; and is very easily and frequently used to both hide and mask a conscious choice to _not_ do good.

For example, instead of helping you dig out your car, I could instead, politely, express empathy with your situation. Since our society holds politeness as a virtue, I can now feel good (and be socially rewarded for) having done a slightly good thing. The reality may be, however, that what I have actually done is selfishly excused myself from actually having helped you.

Bad actors exploit this phenomenon. And this is widely understood.

This is where "Thoughts and Prayers" comes from. This is why a Southerner saying "Bless Your Heart" is understood to be an insult (it translates, roughly to: 'you just said something stupid, so rather than engage with you, I'm going to use politeness to allow me to ignore you / your statement'). This is a large part of what Bo Burnham's recent hit "That Funny Feeling" was about. etc.

In my personal life, I have generally found people who exploit this phenomenon to be among the worst people I have to deal with, as people who are bad actors but lack the ability to be polite get filtered out pretty quickly, while these such people can persist and deal damage for quite some time.

I will take an impolite good person over a polite bad actor any day of the week. Though, of course, too many people without an understanding of how to be properly polite in close context is its own recipe for problems.
Most people would agree with you. That's why pretty much every government has the ability to engage in eminent domain or compulsory purchase to take private property for the "greater good."

So, whatever is responsible for the lack of proper infrastructure, your explanation isn't correct.
Taking a job that screws over workers below you is really just sticking a middle finger up to the world around you.

A typical programming job is more than enough to provide for a family, a home, and early retirement. Burning down the next generation by empowering mega corporations just "for your kids" is the definition of selfish. Boomers did selfish things "for their kids" and now their kids are absolutely screwed with climate change and a worse off economic system.

But yes, they did certainly provide for their own retirement--at the cost of the whole world. FAANG developers are the same. Amazon and Apple can pay fat checks to their tech workers because they cut costs and shamelessly exploit everyone working in their lower level positions. Eventually they'll push everyone down to lower levels and have the technology to enforce it without human interference.

But hey, someone bought their kid a nice car and they retired to the Bahamas and got a few maids with that huge developer check. Got to look at the bright side.
I've had good success with a 1x4 KVM from Level1Techs. I use it paired with a Alienware AW3418DW 3440x1440 120Hz G-Sync monitor. My PC has a NVIDIA 2080 and G-Sync+120Hz works fine through the KVM. I also have my MBP connected, via a CalDigit dock, and it can push 120Hz to the monitor too.

Level1Techs a small shop that I discovered via their YouTube channel. While they don't manufacturer the KVM themselves (all to common, see the OP link), they look to have done rigorous testing and compatibility analysis. They claim it works up to 3840x2160@120hz because it supports DP 1.4.

In Reno (NW Nevada) 1/8 (of an ounce, 3.5 grams) will set you back around $39. Quarters on sale (1/4 of an ounce, 7 grams) will normally be in the $49-$59 range. I've seen ounces for $99 once in a while. I might add this is all ordered online and you go to the dispensary and get it brought out to your car - it is almost a frictionless delivery, just pay cash and tip well. One of the local dispensaries has food trucks in their parking lot on Saturday - seems reasonable. The state, regardless of their views on legal weed (we used to call it "dope"), is fine with everything given the tax revenue it brings in. At my age I never thought I'd see anything like this in my lifetime.

Commenting for a friend, of course.
thank you to the poster because i had this issue the other day with junk rebranded hubs that couldnt even power 3 devices at once on a 6 port hub! spent hours chasing my tail on things caused by the dodgy insides. my experience here is buy the best u can, or the cheapest u can (and a few of them atleast).
All of this is true, but I’ll just be nitpicky to make a point:

> Does a future event's processing circumstances maybe depend on all events received up until now?

In a parallel prefix sum, the final sum does depend on all prior inputs, but a good parallel implementation runs in O(log(n)) time. It is, of course, not a total ordering problem, but that’s not obvious at first glance — I’ve always thought it was a beautiful example of something that appears to be entirely sequential but actually parallelizes really well.

All of which is to say that, yeah, we’re latency bound at the end of the day, but there’s a lot more innovation and performance left to be wrung out of most systems. A little creativity goes a long way, and I like the idea of a universe where the software is the main determinant of performance — where you can’t get away with just waiting for the next generation of chips.
> morality and virtue tend to be regarded there as an explicitly upper class concern, and to be viewed elsewhere as mere tiresome "virtue signaling" of some kind or another.

This is a very unfair comparison. The working class regard a certain kind of white leftism, one completely removed from the actual concerns of the working class, as "virtue signalling". It's extremely arrogant to assume one's own views constitute the entirely of "morality and virtue"; different people have different morals.
I wouldn't be so even-handed. Asserting something is biased doesn't make it so; assertions aren't taken as fact or truth. Assertions are worthless and two assertions are equally worthless. I talked about the factual basis of my claims and the parent claims, not assertions.
Forget that, approaching 60, still code every day. Management is for those who have management skills and want to do it. Coding is for the rest of us who want it.

I read a comment somewhere that these DJI drones send out the location of both the drone and the operator.

The ID copy is actually pretty useful.

Also it's a needed feature because these printers are targeted for small business and front desk workers (doctors, dentists, gyms, etc). I've seen them do this many times in past. They need a copy of proof of insurance or drivers license you're giving them.
How about other banned terms like accessibility, unite/unity, restrooms, fairness, diversity? Do those also feel unreasonable for any company to include in an internal app? To me, these terms are only concerning because it's Amazon.

The people behind the project are self-aware enough to realize these are such big issues that people will talk about them, but I guess they'd rather prevent discussion altogether than deal with the actual problems.

> they are ethical, or altruistic, but certainly can't claim they are financially responsible.

The definition of financial responsibility should be clarified.

I’d argue that making as much money as possible while ignoring morals or ethics is not “financially responsible”, it actually fits into the definition of psychopathic behavior (https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/features/sociopath-psych...).

As another sibling comment mentions, making 180k vs 300k as an individual doesn’t lowers one’s quality of life that much; there’s still enough disposable income to take trips, save for retirement, etc.

The “I don’t worry about my next meal” threshold for a warehouse hourly worker ($18/hr * 40hr/week * 52weeks/year ~= $37.5k) can be drastically improved.
Older versions of npm (6 and below?) had many issues. Recent versions are more predictable. npm is fine. yarn 1 has always been a solid choice.

There's nothing wrong with webpack except its lengthy build times. It's not a knock on webpack, it's more a knock on using JavaScript (node) for everything. Vite uses esbuild which is coded in Go. Next.js adopted swc (Rust) and hired the lead.

I recommend Next for large react apps and vite for apps that would otherwise use create-react-app. Obviously if you're doing Vue, use vite.
No. Use this energy in the next elections to make sure you get to elect representatives that create at least a modicum of decent federal legislation to protect workers against such things, and more importantly, to make it financially feasible for workers to sue when their rights are infringed.

USB-C is one of the worst in terms of compliance. He didn't even mention the complexity of getting 4k@60hz WITH USB3.0 speeds...

Anyway, for anyone who wants a single plug for Apple devices, any Thunderbolt 3/4 would be more reliable.

It's more expensive, but TB requires more certification and able to pass enough bandwidth for decent performance (even 5k@60hz with USB 3.0).
I just want to thank whoever posted these articles (both this one and the "Are you a baby?" one) to HN. I think this author is fantastic, and she's stated clearly, but with very evocative writing, some general feelings I've had about the state of society for the past couple years but could never have put into words as well as she has.

For one, I consider myself to be someone generally "on the left" politically, but I've felt so nauseated by what I see as the worst performative debates of the leftish mobs ("master to main" anyone), because I feel they share the exact same nauseating tactics of the far (and not-so-far) right: professional victimhood. On the right, the media is "so unfair" and there is a "war against Christmas", while on the left nothing is ever anyone's fault if they weren't the benefit of "privilege" in their life.

What I like about this author is she acknowledges the kernels of truth on both sides, but clearly advocates that actual, honest, non-avoidant action is what is so often missing.

Definitely right.
I'll admit I'm being a bit obtuse, but overall if you're wanting to argue its a safety thing to have knobs then in reality its even more of a safety thing to encourage the auto controls over having a bunch of buttons and knobs to fiddle with and get distracted by. What's more distracting, taking your hands off the wheel and turning a knob or just having the auto climate control take care of it?

To me, I'd rather not waste large swaths of the dashboard with buttons and knobs I'd never press compared to having it be actually useful like navigation information. Its easier to quickly glance at a map and get useful information from it when the information is bigger than when its smaller.

Literally half of the buttons on the dashboard of one of my car never get pressed. Its wasted space. Meanwhile almost all of the screen on my big screen car gets used every time I drive.
It’s actually quite common for approach lights to be located off airport property. That’s a bit of an extreme case with peoples homes and backyards. Usually this would be across roads or commercial properties.

> Those are differential forms ...

Yup. You gave the modern treatment. What I wrote was:

> Physicists keep using old versions of differentials, and the math books got rid of those 50+ years ago; clean ups are not too difficult but need to be done by either physics or math.

So, I was talking about the "old" stuff. That is relevant because a LOT of the physics literature elementary enough to be in courses in universities just asks the student to accept that dA is a "little unit of area" and dV is "a little unit of volume" and that that is enough to define an integral. The people who write such physics are rarely or never actually thinking the modern treatment of differential forms, tangent spaces, etc. So, often a physics student is stuck with the old versions of dA and dV and with a prof who doesn't know the modern treatment either. So, that is an example of my theme: The physics people are not so good at the math.
Ah, the most dissonant of all chords, the perfect 5th plus an octave, also known as the power chord.
Mathematics aside, am I the only one who finds this style of cartoon caricature unappealing? I find that these kinds of caricatures often bear little resemblance to the actual person, as well as being simply unpleasant to look at. In this instance particularly:

> Technically, his head is an oval, like yours. But somehow, making his jaw wider than the rest of his head is perfect.

I honestly don't understand this point. Looking at the original image, his head and jaw seem perfectly average to me. I understand that caricaturists love to exaggerate features, but why praise them for amplifying a feature that does not really exist?
Very true but poor code can undo good architecture.
