Yikes, I hope that because the scammers used Uber they are a little bit more traceable, my understanding is that police can rarely actually prosecute these crimes either because of how complicated the people are to track or because of jurisdictional issues.
Howdy, here are a bunch of communities that I shoot the gamedev breeze with asynchronously:

- https://twitter.com/IndieLegion

- https://howtomarketagame.com/ Discord

- https://twitter.com/gamediscoverco Plus subscription's Discord

- Godot Engine's Discord

I've connected more deeply with some of the folks I've met on there, so it hasn't felt lonely at all.

I'm also doing an indie dev masters via Falmouth, and my cohort meet up weekly (and we have a Discord for daily chatter), and it's a great community, but I'm not sure if that will last past graduation in a few weeks.

(I'm on the marketing video super cringe)

Clearly he wants to return to pre-industrial times, with no plastics, no medicines and no fertilizer. Taking role-playing to the next level.
> Accusing others of being "sheep" is solid confirmation

I absolutely LOVE when they do this.

Think about it for just one second.

Labeling someone a "sheep" because they were vaccinated, but someone who refuses to get vaccinated, like many others are not "sheep"? Perspective is everything?

Your point is spot on, once labels like "sheep" are used there is no point trying to further the conversation. They have taken their conspiracy theory views to religious heights and no amount of evidence can remove a religious view.

There is reason people use statements like "take it on faith".
I heard they even want to electrify them and put them on rails, then they'd run electrical cables on top of the rails so they wound't need batteries. This would be hyper disruptive
Does anyone actually believe DALL-E "understands" what it's doing? For any reasonable definition of "understands", I assume most people would be skeptical.

So if we go with that, then yes, it just glues things together without understanding their relationship. I'd just be tempted to say it doesn't really matter that it doesn't understand, except maybe for some philosophical questions. It's still incredible based on its output.
Where this gets interesting is when the AI attempts to create animations or moving images - this requires a much deeper understanding of objects and their physical properties, even to create a highly stylised or "drawn" animation.
I'm a big fan of Frankfurt's "On Bullshit", and love the reference.

I think there's one significant distinction between a normal human bullshitter that Frankfurt originally envisioned, and the AI practicing Artificial Bullshit. The bullshitter knows there is truth and intentionally disregards it; whereas the AI is blind to the concept. I guess this is "mens rea" in a sense, the human is conscious of their guilt (even if they're apathetic towards it), whereas DALL-E is just a tool that does what it is programmed to do.

I do like this application of "bullshit" though, and will keep it in mind going forward.
There is no such thing as 'supply-side price increases'. There is the market price. And the price comes down if demand is supressed.

The issue right now is that demand is actually being ENCOURAGED by low interest rates and continued quantitative easing. Don't be fooled, 2% is still a low interest rate historically speaking.

Basically spenders need to be encouraged to save.
Great point. Fully agree that providing a first-class local development experience is critical to the overall story of application development frameworks.

I guess the main difference is that frameworks like Serverless provide a great experience if you fully buy into their way of doing things (i.e., implement your application assets in the Serverless YAML DSL, etc), whereas LocalStack is a generic platform that works on the API emulation level, hence easily integrates with most tooling out of the box.

Making the switch from Serverless to, say, AWS CDK, or AWS SAM, or Architect framwork may not be as seamless - however, for each of these frameworks you can always run the local emulation natively on LocalStack. This can help reduce the overall vendor lock-in effect that a lot of application development frameworks come with.

In fact, LocalStack also provides an integration with Serverless [0] - among many other tools [1].

The truth values of the narrative in question doesn't actually change the point the article makes, though I suspect this is because they're accidentally right rather than they went out of their way to make allowances for the fact that many conspiracy theories turn out to be true.

Believing that the greater social structure of your society is controlled by conspiring entities who tend to work in their mutual self interest and to support the status quo will almost necessarily be seen negatively by those who merely support the status quo, which is basically everybody. So yes, there are negative social cohesion consequences for being aware of that, just as there are negative social cohesion consequences of being aware the religious structure of theocracy is also the same kind of thing, or any other broadly accepted popular fiction, your government exists to serve you, your priest is a conduit to god, whatever.

Most humans just don't care and aren't capable of parsing the truth value of the questions raised, they're just interested in their status within those structures rather than the nature of them. They'll trade n percent of the total time in their lives for n million kudos bucks without spending a ten thousandth thereof pondering the nature of how kudos bucks enter into circulation or exit therefrom, nor who has their hands on the scales, and in what manner.

If you are not one of them though and you genuinely find the pursuit of truth and investigation into the actual state of reality behind the socially constructed fiction, then once again almost necessarily you're going to be the kind of person who finds meaning and a sense of purpose in that pursuit, if it's true, all the better because you will have fewer doubts about that sense of purpose and mission.
(Electric energy use per year * 1 year) / (Area * 100 mW/m^2 * 60% thermal to electric conversion efficiency)

In reality electricity capacity needs to meet peak demand, not average demand, the heat flux in continental crust is more like 65 mW/m^2, and the thermal to electric conversion efficiency is going to be closer to 40%, so the situation is actually much worse for geothermal, but maybe with the right technological developments and implementation you could get better performance.
Legacy reasons I guess. I this case it's a matter of a client not wanting to move off e-mail they use through their shared hosting provider, and me not wanting to touch that hornets nest. I'm fine with just setting up a CNAME record pointing somewhere, but I really do not want to change their DNS provider.

As mentioned by someone else, last I tried, CF refused to "finalize" the setup and start building before I had setup the domain. I may have missed something though, I'll have to check again.

git blame will usually give you the last edit of a line, which I find is fairly easy to see the last time it was changed (and then if you want to know how things were done earlier, do the same on its parent commit)
One of the interesting things about the "monkey touching iguana" photos is just how abstract that sense is.

Several of the pictures look like it's taken geometry from a 'touching' source and painted both 'monkey' and 'iguana' textures on to both figures, because on the one hand its model of relationships is too sophisticated to just copy/paste monkey and iguana photos from its library, and on the other hand it's not sophisticated enough to always treat "monkey touching iguana" as implying that the monkey and the iguana are discrete animals. (An interesting contrast with it being generally praised for being remarkably good at things like putting hats on animals' heads...)
There are two things going on: one is the script, and the other is orthography.

The classical orthographic system uses consonantal "u" and "i" -- both are used for both the vowel and the consonant. A later orthographic system uses "v" and "j" when "u" or "i" are used as consonants. Today, you'll find a dog's breakfast of orthographic systems, sometimes in the same text (e.g. some current texts use consonantal "u", but do not use consonantal "j" and strikes some people as barbarically inconsistent).

In the classical world, you had engraving and handwriting. Handwriting was done in a Roman cursive script and looks quite different than anything you've probably seen. Engraving was done in majascules and written "U" looked like "V", just to totally confuse everyone after the middle ages (and because V is probably easier to engrave than U).
Do they? If their per capita pollution is fraction of USA. Wouldn't that mean that to be equal and fair they have quite a lot of room to increase their pollution. And USA should be responsible of actually going far negative at any cost to it's population.
You can make eggplant flour, canned, salted and pickled vegetables, like this is something our ancestors worked out hundreds of years ago. Anyway you dont need to preserve everything, the point is the bigger picture.

Thats exactly the point of my critique that for the individual farmer it doesn't make sence to invest so much effort, but as a society wouldn't it be nice of we didn't waste what we had, we'd have something to fall back on.
Thank you for your kind words!

Until a few months back, we were focused solely on the "challenge" aspect of the product. Based on customer feedback, we've been making new features available that offer more guidance when you're stuck — a 2min preview is available on this demo video — https://codecrafters.io/videos/demo.

1. We show you expert-vetted code approaches for different languages in each stage, and also explain the interesting / difficult parts in the approach.

2. For further inspiration & knowledge, we now also include source walkthroughs for many of the stages, which link to how the official implementation does it. Here's one for Redis, which explains how the PING command is implemented (stage 2 of Redis). https://app.codecrafters.io/walkthroughs/redis-ping-command
The difference between a conspiracy theory and something that is not a conspiracy theory is that objective reality consists of things we can corroborate and substantiate.

Of course there are conspiracy theories that are true, but some guy sitting on the Internet is never going to learn about them. He’ll be dead before he does. Backroom deals are cut all the time but the peasants aren’t going to know about them. So why sit around and theorize and things you’ll never know?

All it comes down to is attempting to comfort yourself in an unstable world, conspiracy theories are the result of a brain that failed to understand reality. It’s collapsing chaos and collapsing complexity into something that makes sense at least to you and your friends. As well, often an attempt of pretending one has secret knowledge that the real peasants don’t have access to. A cheap and easy way to becoming elite, but based on nothing. Only those digging into conspiracy websites know the truth hidden from the public.

A lot, but not all, of the mainstream news is indeed substantiated and corroborated. That’s how we know the truth. It’s the best way that we know of at least. Conspiracy theories that rely on every single western and eastern media outlet to falsify Russian atrocities in Ukraine for example, it’s simply not possible. We can’t create causal links without evidence. I mean we can, but it’s meaningless until you substantiate it. So what’s the point? Just operate off of the evidence.

It’s just a lot less fun. And that’s really what conspiracy theories derive from other than a brain that failed. Schizophrenia is a cause as well. Desire for easy elitism with “hidden knowledge”. Or merely someone seeking a cheap thrill.

How long will the battery last if you do that cycle twice per day every day though ?
Could also start implementing emissions controls on aircraft as well. A Cessna is far dirtier than any modern road car.
Actually the reversed will happen. Onshoring.
The irony is that I would bet my company's bad docker image cleanup policy costs them more in storage than quite a bit of the free user's git repos. I can't speak to how much postgres storage the accounting takes up for all those free accounts, but ... come on

This is kind of history repeating itself. I recall Sim City was "discovered" during a weekly game developer meet up in the 1980s:

This kind of scenario is almost exactly what happens daily with "scam the scammer" YouTubers like Kitboga, Scammer Payback, and the hundreds more out there.
The latest Mark robber Youtube vid on this had a fair bit of info on these operations. I was surprised how organized and "professionalized" the operations are. KPIs and all that corporate jazz.

I struggle to comprehend the mindset though. Who goes to work knowing they'll spend their entire day ruining lives? I get survival, but wow.
I don't think I've relied on the app store search for anything except exact matches in half a decade. The greatest feature of the app store is that it handles app links. I just use search engines to discover apps then click the links to open in the app store.

I still do wish they weren't quite so abusive in other ways of their monopoly - their pricing, and dev tooling fees, are pretty outrageous.
Wow. Do you have the source for the numbers? It's very surprising
Not when you're searching for Cheerios.

This type of behavior is new and the patterns were developed by the advertising giants to favor their revenue streams.

It's trademark disparagement. It lets platform monopolies take even more revenue from disenfranchised businesses. Businesses that in turn have to cede more control over their storefronts, brands, and operations to these hitherto unrelated tech companies.
Not to mention it's the most common crop humans grow and we don't even eat it. They're basically green deserts with the amount of pesticides it takes to maintain them and they're an incredible waste of water
No idea what dib is, and you haven't explained what it is.

Are there specific actions that might be faster than mouse in vim? Yes.

Does it mean that vim is always faster? No.

Does it mean that there exists a dichotomy between keyboard and mouse? No.
Thanks for the report. What device / browser is this? You should also be able to zoom the puzzle in and out with mouse wheel, trackpad two fingers or touch screen pinch in the meantime
This feels like clickbait.

The “bypass” is that it’s malware on the user endpoint, so it just lurks the data using the user’s existing session. So it’s not a flaw with Gmail or limited to that platform.
The term 'conspiracy theory' is one of those words that has strong, inherent connotations. It's impossible to productively discuss conspiracy theories and theorists (IMO) because of those connotations. As with so many things, rational, objective discussion is critically dependent on appropriate words and wording. Nobody would deny that elite groups have agendas and get up to shady stuff, as we have concrete evidence of this happening all the time, and even both extremes of US political parties can be called "conspiracy theorists": extreme liberals think every white person is actively and consciously out to conspire against minorities, and extreme conservatives think covid vaccines are a way for the government to install nanochips or whatever. But nobody will respond constructively to being called a conspiracy theorist, they'll just get defensive and the discussion dies as soon as it starts.
A similar question was asked in a another geothermal post. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32134418

The tldr being that there is sufficient heat and we don’t need to worry about running out even if we tapped into a significant portion of it.
It is human nature, but there is a lot to talk about here. Our inability to distinguish reality from fiction and propaganda is being weaponized to pry systematically at the cracks of or society and destabilize it from within.

As AI becomes even more omnipresent, mysterious, and godlike, we may find that an organized defense of our sanity becomes essential.
I can relate to a lot of this, I was pretty stinking poor growing up. Now I make good money. (I still buy used tires from shady lots tho).

But even now that I'm making good money, it boggles my mind how richer everyone else still seems. Like, how do so many young people have a favorite island in Hawaii? How is everyone out there affording new cars? People actually picked a college major without thinking about cost?

One thing I have to constantly wrap my head around is that being broke doesn't correlate to income. I have a family and a mortgage and savings and nothing left over for luxuries at the end of the month. But someone working as a bartender can afford a new Jeep and go to Vegas 4x a year because they have a good roommate situation and they are due to inherit their parent's second house one day.
I own Planimeter. We publish Planimeter Game Engine 2D, which was previously called Grid Engine 9.[1]

I spend a lot of time thinking about how independent developers can better spend their time. A lot of developers get caught up in design documents, or thinking about how they want to make a game, but not seriously understanding how many hours a week you need to commit to a project and over how many years.

As a rule of thumb, about 20 hours a week over a period of multiple years dedicated to a single project seems to bisect game developers into categories of those who are productive and those who aren't.

We have had conversations with different developers in communities, like LÖVE's, for instance:

Surprisingly, many developers aren't interested in serious commercial efforts. A lot of them fixate over matters that don't make significant product impact. As an example, there's some sort of "ECS" fad going on right now. Years ago there was some sort of "push/pop game state" fad.

Professional game engines aren't built this way, so I have no idea where these fads originate from.

We are a group of former Source Engine contractors, game technology developers, and designers. We have written some articles on embedding Lua, multiplayer game networking, and introducing a CSS 2.1 compositor into game engines, among other things.

I'm interested in having conversations with other game developers, and as a like to have, we love talking with those who have written significant pieces of software in the open source community.

As a crude ballpark, a measure of "significant" might be any repository with over 75 stars, or development of a technique that is novel in game software, etc.[2]

Has anyone tried asking GPT-3 or one of its cousins?
I do enjoy finding marginalia in used booked and have started doing it myself. I know some people think marking up books is sacrilege, but this is only mass-market paperbacks.
Seems like a lot of people like your approach, so I'll clarify. I am focused on releasing my game because I want to continue working for myself and having the opportunity to choose/direct my creativity every single day.

The journey is important, you'll probably have a hard time making it in this industry and/or burn out if you aren't deriving joy from the day to day work.

For me, not releasing my game ASAP is not an option. I'm living off of my savings. That's why I prefer other full time devs because survival mode is very different than safe mode. (I feel 10 times more alive. Not sure how others feel).

Anyways, Im mostly responding to encourage you to create your own group because there seems to be a lot of people who are in the same boat as you. I have to say, meeting up with people every week who share the same drive/passion as I do is a great experience.
> Firstly - The '10 bux' could exclude a vast swathe of the poorest. Skipping a couple of Starbuck coffees vs. the local currency equivalent of whatever you are charging equating to a month's worth of food or being able to send at least one of your children to the local village school. I mean - your forum / site so you can gate it anyway you wish, I'm just pointing out that it could and would be exclusionary (perhaps unintentionally so).

It is intentionally exclusionary. Not necessarily of the poorest among us, but of those who expect free service. Botters and spammers are disproportionately likely to look for free service. Pretty much any level of required spending in any currency will have a similar effect. By cutting off the abuse-prone free tier that many bad actors depend on, you dramatically decrease your exposure to abuse.

The point is not to keep out the poor people. The point is to make it far more work to get over the hurdle than it's worth for abusers. If you have a way to do the latter without the former that doesn't hinge on pushing a bunch of extra work onto administrators, I suspect quite a lot of people would be very curious to hear about it.
ZFS dataloss bugs? I think you’re confusing it with btrfs.
What's the best tag to set if you're streaming your development on Twitch? I think I used Science and Technology the few times I did, but maybe that's not the best one. Been meaning to get back into doing that again.
"This reasoning, however, only emphasizes how conspiracy theories helped ancestors survive in a Pleistocene environment, and does not hold implications for possible psychological benefits in present-day society [20]. If anything, the evolutionary perspective implies macro-level societal benefits, by explaining why people possess mental systems that make them sensitive to signals suggesting possible collusion. Consistent with this perspective, citizens display stronger conspiracy beliefs in high-corruption than low-corruption countries [21,22]."
The concept is widespread, but to my knowledge there isn't a name for it. Bahnization is meant to be a play on carcinization, the tendency for things to evolve into crabs.
> I'm beginning to wonder if the entities making this argument are conscious! It seems they don't truly understand the issues in question, in a way they could articulate recognizably to others. They're just repeating comforting articles-of-faith that others have programmed into them.

I took a quick look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry for philosophical zombies ( https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/zombies/ ) and I can't see evidence of this argument having been seriously advanced by professionals before. I think it would go something like:

"Yes, we have strong evidence that philosophical zombies exist. Most of the laypeople who discuss my line of work are demonstrably p-zombies."
I think the book does make a point that maybe one benefit of consciousness the ability to filter through all the information and spam that conscious beings produce. E.g. The scramblers may view all the radio waves we blast everywhere as attempts at warfare and reducing the fitness of other species. Why else would a species emit so much information if not to DDOS their enemies?! tl;dr consciousness is a defense against ****posting and trolling caused by conscious beings.
