How do? Allowing recipients of public assistance to accumulate more savings than those just outside the program would be a perverse incentive to join the program.

I didn’t say they shouldn’t be allowed to save at all. Only that if they are capable of saving at the level required to buy a house and service a mortgage, they likely don’t actually need assistance.

Agreed that Chess is mostly about memorization, even at a high level - opening theory has only gotten deeper with the invention of computer analysis. If you're looking for a game that fits that criteria (deterministic but strategic), Go is probably the answer. The possibility space expands so rapidly due to the size of the board that you just can't have deep memorization beyond a few moves.
> the worst-case scenario for the player is much worse than for a player of chess

The worst-case scenario for any high level games player is pretty awful. No social life or social skills, obsession, poor job prospects, etc.
> If I ever make it, I promise you, HN, I will not be talking about what YOU should be doing in order to become successful, and I will never start a podcast about how to live the "correct" life in order to make it.

Edit: will people in comments consider you flawless by then?
I think that's fair, especially if there are some other indicators in addition to just the paint.

In Cambridge MA there are some otherwise uncontrolled crosswalks across Mass Ave and, as a driver, I'm definitely a bit more prepared for there to be a pedestrian at that location compared to darting across a random stretch of busy road (though that happens too all the time and I keep my eyes out). That said, as a pedestrian, I don't really trust a driver to see me especially in lower visibility so I generally won't cross at those locations unless I have plenty of opening.
Great find! At first glance this looks similar!
I wonder if he has explored the idea of using multiple numbers for increasing the number of distinct "ASCII" tables.
I’m guessing you mean that you tend to hit g and h with hands (eg hit g with right hand and hit h with left hand) and you can’t do that with split keyboard. It doesn’t take that long to get used to it. I still can type pretty well with my laptop keyboard so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

It was possible: profile your program to find the hotspots, rewrite those in assembly, rinse and repeat.
That is technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.
Good luck with secure boot or disabling the ME on their closed firmware. It gets extra fun when internal modules or the battery get a firmware update that breaks or degrades Linux support again.

I have ported Linux to previous gen macbooks employers insisted I use and it was a mess to maintain.

Also consider your warranty void, so good luck with sanely priced repairs given only Apple can get parts or make repairs in most cases.
Correct. ripgrep only has Level 1 UTS#18 support: https://unicode.org/reports/tr18/#Simple_Loose_Matches

MPS (Metal backend for PyTorch) is pretty poor integrated right now most of my custom models are crashing and pure Swift + MPSGraph versions is working 3-10x faster then PyTorch. So I'm pretty sure there is A LOT of optimizing and bug fixing before we can even consider PyTorch on apple devices

Also, even for ops that do not crash, it often returns garbage. I built PyTorch from git this morning:

>>> torch.arange(10, device="mps")
tensor([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], device='mps:0')
>>> torch.ones(10, device="mps").type(torch.int32)
tensor([1065353216, 1065353216, 1065353216, 1065353216, 1065353216, 1065353216,
1065353216, 1065353216, 1065353216, 1065353216], device='mps:0',
dtype=torch.int32)

Many bugs will probably be squashed over the coming weeks, so I am still very exited about MPS support. I have done some preliminary benchmarks with a spaCy transformer model and the speedup was 2.55x on an M1 Pro. Which is quite nice because transformers were already very fast on M1 Macs, thanks to the AMX units (PyTorch links against Accelerate, so the AMX units are used for matrix multiplication). If they can squeeze more performance out of M1 GPUs in the future, it will be a very nice speedup.
>what would a modern human do in that environment?

and be sure to knock them in the head (and everyone that you want to bring with them) so they won't remember anything. I doubt they are any different than a hairless monkey. One thing that we got going for us is the written/oral knowledge that we have accumulated.
As far as geniuses go, many of the people we would think of as geniuses today have two things the people we are discussing here had not:

- They are able to stand on the shoulders of a far broader range of giants, thanks to writing; and

- They have access to far more tools of reasoning (arithmetic with Roman numerals is just the start!) that those in the past did not have.

So while there may well have been intellectual equals to the geniuses of today also back then, they would not have been able to perform the feats of geniuses today. Again, for lack of tooling, not wit.
I’m aware but I haven’t find my dream one yet. I think I’ll try to build my own split wireless keyboard one day.

> I think you and I are building up explanation backwards from an instinct that assets can’t be shared across games.

It's not instinct. It's an fact obvious to anyone who as much as had a tutorial on game programming.

> the “game” is understood to be more heavy on game mechanics as seen in game of chess, so that 3D model of a piece can be anything, or that an asset is always a complete, tangible entity as a fully voiced and textured Companion Cube, rather than a husk of a car in the background with half of the body removed, etc.

wat.

Ok. Let's take a game of chess, or a game based on chess. For example, Knight's Retreat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ibEGIER-4

And, say, you have assets from Rimworld (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tDrxOASUog), Elden Ring (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Huy2cdih0), Hyperlight Drifter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWufEJ1Ava0) and Kentucky Route Zero (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp8f7zWwRjo)

So, tell me. How exactly will this work with "game mechanics" with an "always complete asset" etc?

> A chess game that allows any pieces in a Unity asset bundle as a piece sounds interesting if possible.

Of course it's not possible. Or, if somewhat possible, will look like shit for the majority of assets: you can't convert a 2D pixel art asset to a 3D object; 3D (and many 2D) assets will have completely different compositions, skeletons, rigs, animations etc.

I don't think so, the policymaker circles that composed and internalized the book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon%27s_New_Map while cashing out on the last drips of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_dividend anticipated this exact outcome decades before, as if they have seen it in a magic crystal ball.

What do said policy circles expect right now, I wonder? Ah, I see https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2021/05/the-brazilianizat...

...

Yes, the dependency ratio will spike, and the demographic pyramid will become an increasingly unstable structure. Our current way of life with its dopaminergic entertainment and frantic rat races will acquire increasingly dusty, morbid connotations in the eyes of the future generations which will have to bear, as you say, "a whole host of problems". Yes, it won't be pretty.

Such simple truth as "Demography is destiny" will be reluctantly understood only when it's way too late to conceive more descendants to save our society from imminent ageing and decline.

To avoid this endgame there is no realistic alternative, but to have more children right now.
This is true for busses, but train rides can be quite enjoyable on their own to some people, depending on the train and the view. You still have the opportunity cost of everything else you could be doing, but some people might prefer to read the newspaper on the train, enjoying some shopping a couple towns over and reading on the way back.
My version of backpacking across Europe is what inspired me to start my own business when I returned home. A business I’ve been running for 5 years now. My eyes were opened to alternative life and career paths by the extraordinary people I met along the way. Had I stayed in my bubble after university I would likely have gone down the corp route like almost all of my peers.
Will this be the start of a science-fiction movie scenario, or a horror movie scenario?
I think this actually hits the nail on the head. Chess is very much a game of chance.

People have been saying "the players are nondeterministic not the game," but epistemically what is a game with no players?

I play chess seriously in a tournament setting. While it is true the board is revealed, the board is not the game. The board is the operating theater of a game which is entirely within both players minds. People have become overly dismissive with the idea that the game is deterministic because chess engines exist. But chess engines are not even necessarily deterministic because the result of the alpha beta search still vary based on depth and the evaluation heuristic.

Without an evaluation function you cannot even interpret a board position at all. This function is simply not deterministic (unless formalized and then it will be imperfect to situation), and any GM will tell you that some positions are impossible to evaluate.

Additionally there are many times where engines produce suboptimal results until the search space is collapsed by a player like Hikaru. It's not frequent but it definitely happens.

Chess is a game between two Turing machines sharing a tape. Sharing a tape does not allow you to see the state of the machine in each players head. And if you have no players you have no game. This makes chess highly probabilistic in so many senses that using the game theoretic construct of "prefect information game" causes game theorists to seemingly literally not understand it.

Chess is a deeply human game subject to human variance. This is nondeterministic. Poker is also human, in other ways. Anyone who sees chess as deterministic is probably a weak player (less than 2000 fide) and doesn't understand this fundamental aspect of the game. At the higher levels there is even forms of bluffing and swindling, which is fantastic simply because you CAN see the same board and you were still able to manipulate the other player with their own prejudices.

I don't buy this whole "overpopulation" thing people keep talking about in more or less appropriate concepts.

Through virtually all of history, there's a strong correlation between "more people" and "better living conditions".

We are a social species. We're practically made to effectively make use of as many of us as possible to preserve ourselves.

Great article but

why are you guys still use this flawed formfactor? This formfactor is made NOT to be ergonomic
but made to fit old computers a la apple 2, commodorre 64 etc. Lowest effort formfactor, lowest common denominator product.

Why not make split keyboard with "angled" keys for best posture / hand comfort ?
and also mounting it on your chairs hand rest
instead of putting it on your desk ?
Wayland still doesn't solve this problem because many apps (GTK) become blurry as a result of being scaled poorly, and moving them between displays results in weird behavior where they retain their original scale value rather than adapt to the new display's scale. It's not a good experience.
They might have believed in the afterlife, so from their point of view they weren't really extinguishing anything, just converting it from flesh to spirit.
The paper you linked puts the solubility of Sc around 0.25% in Al. They have some cool TEM work in there looking at how Zn modifies the ordered ScAl3 precipitates that form during aging, which I think is the context for the bit you quoted.

Seems like the main difficulty in these alloys is that the Sc changes the solubility of the copper?

For context for those not familiar, precipitation hardening (aging) is the principal way to increase strength in Al alloys since you can’t quench harden them https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_hardening
it’s same on macOS though

i think some frontend engineers/designers might have misconfigured screens

otherwise i can’t understand why setting right contrast is so difficult
the real problem is that we still don't have combined vaccines for all the new variants (+ influenza)

I think there would be more controversy if Apple skimped here and only provided an iFixIt style repair kit instead of the legitimate tools that the authorised repairers use.

I guess there will always be people to argue both sides of this point. However it seems clear that the shipping would mean Apple is losing money on the transaction.
A long time ago I was able to write on my HP67 a complete program for calculating the compression, tension and bending forces of a continuous beam on supports (for example a railway rail on sleepers), applying the equations I learned in my engineering school. In fact it was the first time I understood something about this equation. Until I translated it into code I only knew the music, not the details.
That's why, when I explore a code, here the evaluation of an RPN expression, I try to keep the foundations to a minimum. The minimum minimorum is the lambda-calculus. Many code examples use the subtleties of this or that language, with the drawback of hiding the fundamental structure of the algorithm. For these reasons I prefer the "list" version to the "array" version. Basically nothing else than the three fundamental "cons, car, cdr". I am interested in your opinion.
To name just the most obvious example, you can't walk (or cycle or ride a horse) along or across most interstates in the US.
It’s seasonal. In North America it’s very easy to get locally grown fruits during spring and summer. But once the fruit season is over you have to import those fruits from Mexico and South America. And they will require being transportable and we’re back to flavorless.

Now I’ve seen the vegetable farms in Europe that are equipped with plastic greenhouses to extend the growing season. Which is lacking in the US. Farmers prefer GMO, hardier fruit that can stand the cold rather than expensive bubbles.
It also means when something inevitably does go wrong, you throw the entire thing away and get a new one. I do not consider this a reasonable or sustainable approach, particularly when out of warranty.
but that means that instead of treatment the correct next step after discovery is monitoring of those masses, no?

also it's quite possible that (just as with COVID tests) we would benefit from more testing even if that test is not that reliable. (so there's an argument for developing fast non-ionizing radiation imaging machines, eg. a fast stand-in MRI)

Looking at every other project from Apple that try to integrate with some opensource lib it'll be months/years if they didn't drop support for it before that :P

Did you get only 2.55x on BERT/other transformer vs CPU version?
I'd argue that if this a feature that is added on afterwards, such as newly developed features for software or some kind of hardware addon or similar that this practice is totally fine. However, I would personally not be ok with this if it's just Bobcat locking out and/or crippling features in the released unit and making people pay money to unlock them.

Basically, my argument here is that in scenario 1 Bobcat is selling some value-add improvement to their product, while in scenario 2 they're just unlocking features your machine had the software and hardware for from day one but was artificially restricted from using.

I don't know enough about these types of machines to know for sure, but some of the features in the example video like "high flow hydraulics" sound very suspiciously like the bad "arbitrary lockout" I described.
Yep. Sounds just like dbt’s approach.
Nice, but it still has semicolons.
Lasers in Space: remote-friendly physical co-op game made in 24h for a hackathon
I have used Lotus 1-2-3 for about 5 years, until switching to Windows 95, where the GUI version of 1-2-3 no longer had significant advantages over MS Excel.

There is no doubt that for any tasks simple enough to have their speed limited by the interaction with the user, and not by waiting for a very large number of cells to be recomputed or by the execution time of a long macro, the MS-DOS Lotus 1-2-3 on an 80386 CPU was faster than MS Excel or any other modern spreadsheet program on a modern computer with a CPU having a one hundred times higher clock frequency.

Lotus 1-2-3 had a well-designed menu-driven user interface and the keyboard shortcuts needed to execute quickly all menu commands became automatic in a short time for anyone who used the program daily, and they were easy to discover for novice users.

In the recent versions of MS Office, the menu structure has become very opaque for me, even if I have used it for decades, since its first version. I may need some minutes to discover in which submenu a seldom-used command can be found, because the distribution of the commands over the menu hierarchy no longer makes sense for me, even if I know that the command must exist, because I had used it in some older version of MS Office, where it was located in a completely different submenu.
Not at all. It's essentially a simple basic play with the "cons, car, cdr" fundamental primitives given in a LISPlike language. I hope you can see it in the "calc" function's code given after the examples.
Experimental mathematics is not a field of mathematics, but an approach. In the link you have given I found two approaches called experimental mathematics: proofing theorems by computer contrary to proofing with a pensil, and searching new problems contrary to solving some existing ones.
They're locking features (like encryption?!) behind a license.

Who knows what other essential features they might put behind a paywall. Their licensing fees aren't even released yet.

I gather from your blog that you are 14 and are not a professional yet (get paid to write code etc..)

What I believe you are missing to be able to execute on your project is order. Going from "idea" to "writing code" sounds like you expect things to magically fall into place and code to flow to your screen..

Here's what I advise you to try when ever you have an idea-

1. think your idea through to some practical outcome (web pages, CMD output etc..)

2. write user stories to describe what the user of your product should be doing (Google "how to write user stories"..)

3. try to come up with something equivalent to a mock-up using any means that you feel comfortable with (pen&paper any of the latest wireframe / mockup apps out there) - don't worry about visual aspect - just make sure it delivers on the user stories

4. having seen the "big picture" take one user story and start from there..

Feel free to write here if you have any questions on any of these..
