At some point in this scenario you outline, there will be so much ML generated content referencing generated content, the (already muddled) primary sources will be lost in the mix and the role of ML will be forced to synthesize sensible, meaningful content out of conflicting "truth".

What I'm trying to get at is that ML is currently terrible at contextualizing information, but in the future the successful knowledge-query engine will be the one that do the best job of wading through the explosion of digital content and pulling out the parts that are coherent and more connected to reality.

This program will need to be able to contextualize information to form a coherent model where knowledge is interconnected into a larger model of reality.

Easier said than done, we'll see if that is even possible. This is getting towards AGI.
Heaps is a programming focused game engine (or more correctly, a library for game rendering and other various utilities associated with game, like sound, loading models etc etc).

Godot and unity are more of an editor oriented "engine", and you code some small pieces of logic associated with entities in the editor.

They target different audiences, and have different use cases imho.

Rent control simply locks in a set of winners when it is implemented (which for the most part stays static and doesn’t apply to new demand), the government then has to promise that rent control won’t be implemented on new supply so developers, businesses, and private landlords just don’t give up on the rental market completely.

I don’t see rent control as very useful, but I doubt it is very relevant to the current housing shortages throughout the cities that have it either (given that the same problems apply to cites that don’t have it).

Nail on the head! I don't have much going on apart from work and a relationship.

Honestly moving to a new city just before covid ensured I have an excuse for not working on any of that.
I'm trying to find a way to travel more, and do more things unrelated to work, but keep telling myself I need to move somewhere else first for a fresh start, and that causes a cycle with what I described in the post.

Thanks for the advice!
If someone told me it's not OK to use any copilot generated code as unethical/wrong I'd laugh in their face. It's basically saving me a google search to find snippets/examples of things I wasn't sure of.

I'm not concerned with ethics but both Google-search and co-pilot are some version of processed human generated content and I think problem both have is how to get the content for cheap and still sell processed version. Google pays for it's stuff by advertising and . Co-pilot just munged the contents of github and didn't pay anything. But if AI-generators continue the path of scanning free content and selling the processed result, someone will start working on how to spam them as well - there's a project for you, upload a whole bunch of general purpose code to github with spam in the comments.
The only thing disappearing without a trace in this story is a logical analysis of the known facts ;)

That's the thing. I took pause and said.. you know, Mnuchin looked me directly in the eye on TV and said "Take the Money. Do it." But I didn't, because, well, I know damn well at some point it wasn't going to be a good look for businesses that are doing extremely well to justify taking free government money. And that's what happened. I lot of big businesses got roasted.

And don't get me started on the political aspects of some of the people that literally look down on people in need and then gleefully rake in the cash from the government. But I also get the fact that many businesses were mandated to be closed or shutdown, and this could be considered payment from the government for those interruptions to businesses that otherwise would have been fine.

Good points all around. Thanks for the excellent differing perspective.

I use dtach to launch console processes with persistence.

I havent switched to neovim yet, but for a lot of my work I have very long running vim sessions that i reconnect to. I find it much nicer having a single system managing my environment than multiple different layers.

Also tmux is a terminal emulator, where-as dtach passes through, and I find a lot less weird color handling & other bugs with dtach.

McD has two kinds of breakfast biscuits: premade and "scratch". Scratch is the original formula and is still used in some markets, like the ones selling country ham biscuits.

They're called "scratch" because they're hand made from a mix with buttermilk and then rolled out, cut, and baked in a convection oven on-site. It takes a while and running out is a thing that happens if they're not made fast enough.

Yeah it seems like they are not doing their due diligence in terms of codec and compression strategies being used. Obviously we are not going to get uncompressed data(although that would be a dream one day that would probably never happen as resolution will increase with new storage capacities) but I do wonder if they can choose different compression strategies depending on the film. It they are charging premium prices I feel as if it is their responsibility to put in the effort to deliver the best experience that the format is capable of delivering. Otherwise what "value add" is the publisher actually delivering?
From Partitions to Wordle – Type Safety with Phantom Types
> so much potential to be what Typescript has become

the problem really is that typescript was designed to be backwards compatible with javascript - aka, valid js is valid typescript. This is a pretty big constraint.

Haxe could never do this imho. It's got it's own design philosophy. I personally like haxe more, but typescript does have the advantage of the above feature, and a more robust typesystem as a result.

The distinguishing feature of haxe is the macro system - which lets you generate code at compile time. It's almost as powerful as LISP, but in a familiar syntax.
Boris Johnson meets Volodymyr Zelenskiy in unannounced visit to Kyiv
I was part of the Total Annihilation community and a local LAN party scene with the Gamespy folks in 97-99, so got to meet some industry folks that way and learn what was going on. The big in that I got was going to a local 3d animation meetup in 98 where I met two artists that would become the art leads at Pandemic Studios when it were founded a few months later. I don't remember the exact sources, I just hustled a lot during those times because I wanted to get in the industry and was bored of high school, and I was lucky to be near the action in LA. I eventually took a Softimage 3D animation course in summer 98 and I needed a computer that could handle it! I was only 16-17 at the time and looking back I think I had a pretty wild experience as a teenage game designer during a really cool time in the industry. Might write about it one day.
It would be more obvious to have a basic toolkit to let everyone build their own GC with LLVM.

From my experience with building my own GC. There are only two challenges. Stack unwinding to obtain root references and then the GC strategy (generational GC, mark and sweep, etc).

For most people, reimplementing the latter is a waste of their time.
It's not a hyperbolic comment. The Signal stale bot is bad and frustrates anybody contributing.

* I've reported Signal fatally corrupting its DB and losing all its data [1], stale bot comes to close.

Few things are more frustrating than investing your free time, and then finding an automated system pitted against you.

The chief distinction being that Signal is a nonprofit foundation with a revenue measured in millions of dollars[1], while Tesla's market cap is over $1T. There are comparatively few excuses Tesla can make that can simultaneously justify that kind of speculative valuation.

The (relatively) high number of deaths during the recent Hong Kong omicron wave must also have scared them. There are lots of non-vaccinated elderly people in China (if I'm not mistaken only about 60% of the over-80s are vaccinated), and as such even (the relatively lighter) Omicron variant would cause lots and lots of deaths around China among that elderly population (and China has lots of elders).

All things considered not the best situation to be in, because getting rid of the zero-covid strategy right now will cause lots and lots of deaths. Maybe China should have done as the rest of the world has done when it came to Covid and it should have tried to adjust gradually, as the pandemic progressed.

> Many seemingly big decisions are also kind of reversible

Funny how I practice and preach this in my job. When it comes to applying the same framework to decisions in life, I fail to do so

I'm somehow able to find really poor framings that present decisions as irreversible.
For example, choosing to go to a smaller co with nice people but worse pay makes the opportunity cost of staying in my current job something that's not reversible (i.e. I'll never get the money et al, so the time isn't spent as good as it could've been).
Thanks for reminding me of this, something I need to repeat to myself every day.
We had 70mm IMAX which got dropped to Imax Digital(LieMax) and now dropped to Atmos(It is debatable which is better). If they were capable of delivering a certain level of quality and cannot anymore either the value of the dollar has fallen so much that they cannot provide the same quality for the same price(possible) or they are cutting corners somewhere. It is probably a mixture of both.

>I don't think the vast majority of movie goers are able to tell the difference between Atmos and DTS:X.

It does not matter, they are advertising this medium as the best possible movie going experience and charging premium prices reflecting this claim. The fact that it is not worth it to "them" to provide the best experience is a result of them deciding that they want a specific profit margin and will fit as much as they can within that margin.
Am I alone in wondering if quantum attacks on existing algorithms are still very hypothetical and may never come to fruition?
> how it stacks up against Godot.

Godot is better if you intend to also learn the editor (and potentially the godot language gscript?). You'd probably get something out the door quicker with godot too.

Heaps is a programming framework/library for making games, not a game editor. You'd also need to be pretty familiar with haxe to use it, unlike godot (where you can get away with not learning gscript for simple things).

if you're a beginner game developer, i'd actually start with godot. Once you got one game made with it, you can then explore other options and learn new things.
> I do not think that companies deserve to be screwed by all this turnover.

While this line gets a lot of attention, I want to attack the misconception too:

You owe your employer exactly what's in your contract. That's your agreement.

If you think you owe them something out of the goodness of your heart, and they have no contractual obligation to compensate you proportionally for that, then you're making unnecessary rules for yourself.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be insensitive towards knowing your employer will be screwed if you leave; but if that is truly the case, and you're not explicitly being acknowledged for this importance (contractually, monetarily, benefits-wise, responsibility-wise), you need that to grow. Where you're at, or somewhere else.

I remember talking to a past manager about how excited I was about an acquaintance who had accepted a position through my effort. The manager said he would celebrate on the day this person stepped through the door on his first day, and not sooner, because he'd seen people change their minds up until the last moment. It's just business.

A part of being a professional is being able to operate with sunk costs.

> Getting on your high horse and making silly claims would get you put to the bottom of the pile if it were my job.

I disagree strongly. It’s not up to us — as designers and developers and maintainers of software — to decide how users engage with us. If they engage at all they are doing us a favor.

Tone-policing user bug reports is a nasty anti-pattern, a predictable way to make your software more user-hostile. Unless they degenerate into outright abuse, which is obviously unacceptable (and this does not), we should separate tone from content and see if the content is useful. A substantive response to the content, ignoring the tone, is usually the best practice.
It's not open source. The source code was not made available and the license did not permit modification of the executable itself.

>You're deliberately applying the least intelligent light you can to everyone in this thread's comments.

No I'm not, please stop assuming bad faith. This is from my actual experience over decades. I'm sorry but there's nothing special about any particular choice of protocol. Many years ago I would have been making the same exact presumptions as you, but I can tell you they're wrong. Like, really just fundamentally wrong, and based on a set of nonsensical ideas about the structure and role of protocols within networks.

If you think I'm making an oversimplification about javascript, I think you've missed the point: that's exactly what I was responding to from a parent reply. I didn't apply that light. Please go read the full reply chain and the first reply I was commenting on, to see what I mean. I'm not joking around here, I've actually witnessed this several times with people going in on this stuff and then linking their alt blogs which end up being completely full of ranting about javascript or iphones or NFTs or systemd or something. My point is that it's actually wrong to assume you're going to get any particular content just because you used some network protocol.

In reality, I totally respect that you're an intelligent and reasonable adult so I'm not going to sugarcoat it: what you're saying is bunk and I think you should reconsider. That's me being honest and not trying to mess with you. I don't care if it makes me unpopular on some internet forum. I also don't care if you're personally invested in this or not. You deserve to have an honest and open discussion about the facts so you can make an informed choice about whether to get further invested in a possibly bad (or good) idea. I gain nothing from lying to you, I want you to find the truth that you seek. If you still disagree with me, great. Nothing wrong with that.

>With Gopher, you don't have to worry about whether someone is ideologically-opposed to JavaScript, and you don't have to only read the works of people who write about being ideologically opposed to JavaScript.

If you want to avoid people who link to HTTP and javascript sites and who only link to other things that "work with the form" then yes you still do. Was that not your original concern?

>Your solution isn't a solution at all.

I agree. My point is, neither is isolating yourself with another protocol that fundamentally can't even attempt to be a solution.

I'll take the attempted insult. But at no point do you approach anything that would fall under the definition of "sarcasm", unless you're trying to agree with me. You're so far away from even mere irony that there will probably be rain or your wedding day (don't remember the song).

Call me a cynic (it's in the dictionary), but I used to be insulted by smarter people. I shall have to think about that.

Anyway... I've actually done photogrammetry (with the Apple API– wish I could share my excellent rubber ducky, but Wikimedia Commons doesn't quite like my file format). I was mostly just pointing out that I had different expectations from a "step-by-step guide", and that OP's wish of OSS adoption might be more effectively supported by making them want to do so, rather than shaming them with slogans from the mid-90s.

Sometimes, a more powerful product is more complicated. But the same people who will eagerly post "correlation is not causation" on every science story as if that weren't the first thing any scientist learnt will happily pretend that something being difficult to use is evidence of and necessary for a more "professional" product.
This isn't going to go away anytime soon if white folks, in govt or corporate America, are eager to shell out 5k/hr for professionally-moral white folks to tell them how to be more virtuous themselves. Seems entirely analogous to the Robin DiAngelo income stream playbook.

This was my experience as well in Seattle. I did a corporate relocation and they also provided a paid-for agent to find rentals.

She was pretty much useless. Most of the places she sent us didn't match our criteria very well, and quite a few were above where we wanted to spend. As each day went by and we nixxed place after place she clearly de-prioritized us in her work (I'm assuming she was working with multiple other people who were looking for places) and became less responsive.

At the end of the day I had to do my own hunt and fly up a second time to look at places over a weekend to find something.

And that's a paid agent from a large moving corp. I do wonder if a (more expensive) boutique agent would have been more effective but honestly having worked in real estate I consider them all at the same level as used car salesmen anyway.
