Thats true, I was one of them. Ingress was a great game, and it was also kind of useful when I was in some new city, I could look where the portals are, and in many cases those were the interesting places to visit. Anyway, I somehow couldnt get used to the new client, and over time stopped playing.

Another thing is, that after experiencing Ingress, I kind of stopped believing in the "augmented reality" concept. The reality was augmented in one sense, but I noticed that when I focused on playing, I didnt notice some other things in the environment. My brain just didn't have enough capacity to perceive all the reality as it would normally do and also those augmented objects. It was more like a replacing.
There's no problem with catching up in Ingress, once you get to level 8 you're as powerful as anyone else.

The game is you go outside and discover interesting places, then if you want, make friends with other players and organise stuff together
> But you still have distributed authorities, the owners of Bitcoin.

What does that mean? That's not how Bitcoin works. There are no distributed authorities. Even miners don't have authority over Bitcoin, other than deciding the order in which transactions get confirmed.

> It doesn't, it entrenches the status quo. That is quite literally what deflation is, a reward for people who dominated the economy in the past.

Even if this was true in a world where Bitcoin is the dominant currency[0], it is not true in the world we live in today. In the world, we live today, governments, corporations, and wealthy individuals are all heavily invested in fiat[1]. I wasn't making the argument that Bitcoin is morally desirable because it disrupts the status quo. I was making the argument that because Bitcoin disrupts the status quo, it will get significant push-back from the powerful entities which have an interest in preserving the status quo.

[0] Apple alone has 200$ billion in fiat, just to give an example.

[1] It's not as if fiat monetary inflation goes directly into the hands of the poor. There's a lot of evidence that the opposite happens and that it actually increases wealth inequality: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
It was. This was because Commodore was trying to keep the cost of the machine down, and BASIC 2 (along with the Commodore "kernal" [sic], the closest thing the computer had to an OS) fitted into an 8 kB ROM.

CBM BASIC 2 was terrible. It didn't support any of the C64's excellent (for the time) sound and graphics. It didn't have structured command (IF... THEN... ELSE, REPEAT... UNTIL, WHILE... WEND etc.) or named procedures or local variables or anything.

But it was small.

This terrible BASIC is why most of the world became convinced that BASIC was a bad programming language. Other contemporaneous 8-bit home computers had much better BASICs, notably the Acorn 8-bits, but also Sinclair, Oric and others.

I think this is a common pitfall for a dev to fall into. Looking at your CV failing upwards is not a bad thing, it's only a bad thing if you don't enjoy what you do and can't see a future in. Having also been in a situation with negative (or non existent) feedback, the lesson that it taught me was self preservation is crucial. Try not to let you get you down, the work environment is full of bias, oversight and mismanagement. Just because it is a tech, with "prestigious" work, does not mean it is immune to it.

The tech interview is also something I struggle with. I've avoided this some what by not going to hyper sexy companies where they feel justified to treat you like a cog. This can actually be a good sign that you don't want to work there, remember you are interviewing them too. Again tech interviews, much like work, are easier when you actually are interested in what they are doing.

I would advise to try and take a break, go on a holiday, possibly to the point you are bored. The most difficult thing can be to actually figure out what you are interested in and what you enjoy. It's not bad if you want to pivot to something or go back to school, it's just bad if you are doing it out a sense of panic, can't clearly see a future and just want to change.
One of the big differences to IT, as I see it, is to do with repairs/support. In IT, a subscription covers repairs/bugs. So what you are paying for is basically maintenance.

If we transfer that to cars, then the subscription should also cover maintenance/repairs of the physical parts - in this case the heated seats. But I am pretty sure it does not.
pretty sure Hackernews would buy this book in bulk. Be the guy!
It already exists. All their part documentation, all the dealer software, software to unlock ECUs, remove engine restrictions to get an additional 50bhp, Android apps to unlock features.. it's all widely available on dedicated websites and they've done nothing to stop it. The only thing they have ever stopped being shared is their TIS manuals which are incredibly expensive service manuals that they sell to dealers. But even in that case, they agreed to look the other way as long as the providers of the TIS manuals only let them be accessed by existing users.

BMW have bundled features you can't access for a long term, and modders have been enabling them for a long time. Just look up the 328i to 330i tuning software for an example, you can use free software (bimmerlabs.com) to derestrict your engine to same power as the next model (it's the same engine, just restricted).
The concept is nothing new, at least for Germany - we have long established two different variants of "shelf corporations" for the purpose of taking a short circuit to usual regulations: one that is explicitly created as a blank slate for a buyer to buy, usurp and use to be traded publicly ("Vorratsgesellschaft"), and the other one being a company that has been wound down but not formally dissolved ("Mantelgesellschaft"). The former is (or was, until Brexit) especially popular with British Ltd.-style companies because these were easier to set up than a German GmbH/AG.

Something like a SPAC is new as a concept, but in the same legal vein - the only difference is which side brings the capital. In the classic cases, the "acquired" company brings the capital, in a SPAC the acquiring company - but (at least here) it is of no matter legally.
Doing a traditional IPO is a slow process that can preoccupy the company and set it back for a year or more. For some growth companies it is a rational and legitimate choice to go public through a SPAC.

> historical revisionism has been used for lots and lots of despicable things in the recent past, including genocide.

Historical revisionism is also when those are uncovered later. First obviously, politically you get accusations of revisionism. And also quite literally, you are revising previous history.

> More exactly the "nation" as a term can be (and has been) quite easily de-constructed through revisionist means, but what do you do when the same line of thought is applied almost ad litteram by one of your powerful neighbours who happens to have one of the biggest nuclear arsenals in the world? (because that's what Putin actually said about Ukraine, that they're "not really a nation", that they're an "imagined community")

Then you are doing politics and not history. Putin is not doing history.

All nations were made up at some point and that includes Russia. Maybe especially Russian nation. National movements became popular in 19th century. That is not even revisionism, that is just something most people don't think about.

Nevertheless, Ukrainians have more then proven over very long period they have distinct identity and culture different from Russian one. It is much different culture and country then what you find in Russia.
You can filter out bad workers by preparing an additional well-labeled dataset and removing those who made even a single mistake in it. Also you can give the same task to several workers and check if they give the same label. However this won't protect against a bot using multiple accounts and giving answers based on a hash of a question so that the same question gets the same answer in every account.
I prefer to trust a research scientist that works at well known and solid universities than some independent guy who debunks stuff

Prime is much better than Classic, way faster to use. Of course it won't work on a 10 year old phone, but that's the nature of things.
nobody I know (here in England) would say their salary is their weekly earnings. Salary is always per year
Why shouldn’t someone do it for five dollars per hour, and do it properly lest they get fired? Seems like a very easy job and easy to supervise.
An interesting parallel to this is the work boats used on a huge construction project here in Scotland, where they had to be limited to a certain speed to be used as crew ferries. Above something like 18 knots they are classed as "high speed ferries" and the relatively slim paperwork turns into a fat wad of legalese.

While it was possible to program the engine ECU to limit the power (and therefore speed), the operator deemed it legally safer and potentially less expensive to have the engines swapped with smaller ones, and store the original engines in one of the site warehouses.
That book was written by William K. Black, who was involved in prosecuting the 1990s S&L collapse. It is supposed to be good. The Robert Prasch article that you linked is a review of the William Black book, written by Prasch. Bibliographic info about the book is here:

People write about earlier times by studying contemporary written sources and records and looking at archeology from the period. They also use later writers who had used and quoted contemporary sources. They also make inferences based on that material and syntheses of other material. In Herodotus's case, he used sources such as Thersander of Orchomenus, Archias of Sparta, and numerous other named and unnamed sources. He also made stuff up, but that's discouraged in modern history.

There's an interesting chapter preview about his sources here:

There's no guarantee that someone living in 1922 would be more accurate about what happened at that time than a historian writing today. They might have access to more detail, but they can lie, be mistaken, be partial, and so on. Eye witness testimony is often less reliable than a methodical examination of the available evidence, however later that happens.

At previous jobs while wearing the hat of "senior software engineer", management always expected from teams the now common "you build it you run it" way of working. The seniors of the team were supposed to know (or to learn) all the nuances of the parts that composed their infra: redis, rabbitmq, postgres, go, docker, k8s, github ci/cd, oauth,... Of course, senior software engineers should also know all the stuff related to software engineering (DS, algorithms, system design, solid, etc.)

I ended up burnt out. Too much to learn, and I'm not really interested in most of the infra tooling we were using (I loved redis and got to know tons of it, on the other hand I never really cared about k8s or rabbitmq). Sadly, more often than not, companies out there still expect the mentality of "you build it you run it" which implies acquiring knowledge of all the little things in your infra that can go wrong in production. Damn it.

Web3 is just getting started.
Every new paradigm has 2 cycles often both running in parallel.
Building Cycle, where developers and enterpreneurs envision and build awesome products and necessary infrastructure.
Capital Cycle, Speculative & Growth capital goes into such projects leading to bubbles and busts.

What happened recently is Capital cycle bubble broke.
Building cycle is well and truly on.
Any ”Gigafactory” built these days likely has a plan for producing raw materials through recycling old batteries. There have been cells produced already with nickel/cobalt/manganese from old cells. Lithium will also be recycled into batteries. See e.g the “Revolt ett” plant in Sweden.

https://northvolt.com/articles/recycled-battery/

I haven’t heard anything about this plant but I’m assuming something similar for this plant.
I know nothing about Pokemon, being old. But Ingress is a 2d game rather than the 0d game of Pokemon Go. Geometry matters as you link locations together
> I wonder how others do this kind of thing. Assuming I have 100k text blurbs I want to classify of sentiment and/or emotion and want at least 95% accuracy, what are the options?

Others who successfully do it have exactly the same secret sauce that you do: they assign it to someone who is well-compensated and competent.

The one time I needed anything remotely like this I just took the old "nobody said programming was gonna be glamorous" adage and ran with it for two weeks. Money-wise, two weeks of programmer time sorting data manually sure beats twelve weeks of programmer time debugging models to cope with inaccurate data, and the results are orders of magnitude better.

Given the widespread understanding of how critical training data is, it's mind-boggling to me that businesses in this field try to outsource it to the lowest-paid external company they can find, thus offering the lowest possible performance incentives and pretty much losing any control they have over quality assurance. Then they proceed to spend humongous amounts of money on clean-up and further refining training data sets, with which they could've hired English Lit majors in the first place, who would've given them a perfectly-classified data set from the very beginning.
I experienced something very similar to this when I had a kid. As you say, minor, but still noticeable. Like I was having to make constant small corrections to my balance. It worried me a bit at the time, although in retrospect I'm convinced it was caused by sleep deprivation. I wasn't getting more than a few (broken) hours a night for many months. It went away as things started to settle down a bit.
Could you point me to resources about best practices in this domain? I've struggled with this and it would potentially help.

If it's such an easy job, why outsource it instead of doing it yourself?
In Dutch it is "komkommertijd" [0], which also literally translates to "cucumber time". It has the exact same meaning.

Is a jerk accompanied by something happening in a dream?

I have this every now and then, for example I start dreaming that I'm walking and then I suddenly trip on something which wakes me up.

It also worsens if I'm already deprived of sleep. To me it feels like the longer I stay awake the more vivid my dreams are and they start earlier as I'm falling asleep.

For me it's not really an inconvenience as it doesn't happen that often, but it's annoying as I have to fall asleep again.
“Tolerates” as in what? Buys their vehicles?

I’d sooner but a VW post dieselgate than a BMW with a seat heater subscription that’s for sure…
ingress is a weird one, despite being several years older it still has longevity. There is still a dedicated core of players for it that follow the complex story, and I know a bunch of the players in my (small-ish) city, and have on several occasions occasion come across them in person. The big issue to my eyes is that they have a winning formula with the area control game, but they don't do much to shake it up (they do occasionally and every time it's awesome, like targets that travel between portals that players have to fight to funnel towards certain areas for their team)
It's still really hard (or impossible) to find people using any web3 offers in real life though. And the only place web3 is thrown into my face is hacker news. It seems to continue to be a small underground thing ("crypto nerds").
Not quite.

Watts are an instantaneous measurement, but the factory needs a higher output most of the time to cover downtime. Much like power plants you would say it’s capacity is X watts with an expected capacity factor of Y%.

You could say the output is expected to average X watts over a year, but to then use it for anything would mean converting that to Wh.
It was not Turbo Pascal. You are confusing it with the UCSD p-System, a different Pascal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCSD_Pascal#UCSD_Pascal_and_th...

TP was a Borland app which ran on CP/M and later DOS; it would be no use on its own. It was not an OS.

The 3 OS choices for the IBM PC were:

[1] The UCSD p-System, a Pascal environment with a VM for portable code.

[2] PC DOS, IBM's version of MS-DOS.

[3] DR CP/M-86, at about 3× the price.
Wow the Xerox Alto was so crazily ahead of its time

that was very good.
To me it’s mostly the mismatch between the world the player can interact with via the phone and the world they’re actually embodied in. Particularly for location-based or social games. It’s like going to a murder mystery weekend but everyone playing the actual game on their phone in a hotel room. These games need to lift the play off the screen. More LARP less AR. At least until AR is actually in glasses, in a shared consistent virtual space and not totally naff. The screen is then there to act as our screens do now, a way to access and record information but about the game specifically.
I don’t disagree that there are other forces aside from market forces.

In the case of people paying via WeChat though, it is legitimately market forces. If you don’t use WeChat, people around you will urge you to use it because it is so much easier than cash. No more going to the bank. No more handling change. You just open your phone, scan, and pay. Small businesses you frequent where you get to know the proprietor will tell you they think it’s a little funny you’re paying in cash and even offer to help you set up your WeChat Pay because it is “so easy.”

I honestly don’t know anyone other than me who pays for things in cash. Everybody else is on WeChat. Nobody forced them to; it was just rapid, collective adoption, analogous to what happened when smart phones hit the market. You can still buy dumb phones that work great, but nobody does.
My above post seems to accumulating downvotes presumably because of the use of the phrase "unwashed public/masses"; don't people get a "pawky sense of humour" anymore? See also https://www.vocabulary.com/articles/chooseyourwords/irony-sa...
> Bitcoin has very high value for authoritarians.

Then why have almost all authoritarian governments banned Bitcoin?

> If you can enforce the currency you can enforce wealth inequality and entrenchment of incumbents.

That's the whole point. No one can control Bitcoin which is why it's not appealing to authoritarians. Authoritarians don't like things they can't have authority over.
Heeeeyy, don't make reasonable judgment. This is solar and wind we're talking about, the solution to every climate problem. Even if there's no wind or no sunlight
Short answer is that you typically can’t. Someone in this thread linked to Retool’s approach, which is better than nothing, but the underlying representation is still proprietary YAML code, so writing unit tests against it or code review is hard to do.

I’m working on a low-code platform called Airplane which allows you to express things you build in normal Python/JS/etc code, so you can actually version control is and use the rest of your developer tool chain: https://docs.airplane.dev/tasks/task-definition
Of course this line of reasoning is extremely prone to a "sorites paradox". What happens when all kinds of other things are also disabled in the vehicle.... the radio? air conditioning compressor? motorized seat adjustment? etc?

Pretty soon the weight of those things will actually impact fuel efficiency in a meaningful way. Otherwise why not just drive a tractor trailer around?
Who makes web standards? Is web3 a formally recognized thing? As far as I can tell, pretty much most people consider it to be snake oil?

Niantic has received a lot of (warranted IMO) criticism. That said, they did make some positive improvements during the Covid era:

They increased the interaction radius for Pokestops & Gyms. They actually reverted it (at the "end" of covid), faced a giant backlash, and un-reverted it (back to the increased radius). This is a rare occurrence of Niantic actually listening to the community.

They introduced remote raid passes. Remote raids are great in a pandemic since you can raid with friends from anywhere. I assume these generate a lot of income for Niantic since it's sold for 250 coins (now 300 coins) for 3 passes. What's baffling to me is how they are constantly discouraging users from doing remote raids.
