This is one of those situations where the metric is very important. Vision Zero uses the number of traffic accidents or fatalities. There's a dashboard here:

https://sfgov.org/scorecards/transportation/traffic-fataliti...

I don't really see any significant changes there.

Perhaps there should be other metrics, but number of citations would create perverse incentives.

> Twitter made it clear its bot number could be wildly off

An example:

NVIDIA made it clear that they don't have full and accurate information of what their buyers use their chips for. Maybe some customers buy NVIDIA to hold and do chicken dance? who cares?

Yet they were charged by SEC for not identifying that a large chunks of their buyers used it for crypto mining. Because this misled investors and shareholders on the company's outlook.

The disclaimer doesn't protect the company from reporting wildly inaccurate numbers.
Cheaper way to learn would be to do a little consulting for other people's mini-startups and figure it out on their dime.
Location: Revelstoke, Canada <-> Central America

Remote: 10 years

Technologies : C, C++, SIMD, OpenGL, JS, TS, Ruby, Rails

Interests : hard stuff: compilers, graphics, 3D, 2D, performance, compression, streaming

Hello, my name is Jesse. I'm looking to solve hard problems which could have a net positive impact on the world. Examples of fields that interest me are genetics, developer tooling (compilers, static analyzers, ???), 3D graphics, data streaming.

I'm a competent C and C++ programmer. The C++ spec weighs a lot, so I'm hesitant to call myself an expert, but I have a good working knowledge of both languages. For previous employers I've worked on everything from Win32 applications to reverse-engineering Valves Source2 engine.

I've been working on the foundations of a 3D game engine for ~6 years, which has taught me a great deal about C, systems, and graphics programming on both Win32 and Linux. I chose to build it without libraries (Handmade Hero style) which began as a learning exercise, but ended up teaching me the value of simplicity.

In more recent history I've been working on a metaprogramming C compiler. Think C++ templates, but fast to compile, and generally less awful. It turns out I have a secret passion for compilers. I'm also actively contributing to Oil, a new bash and POSIX compliant shell.

I have a good understanding of the Linux network stack and APIs - I've worked on several custom TCP + UDP protocols in the past.

I love building tools. I've worked on game engines, compilers, performance profilers, a debugger and reverse-engineering tooling. These types of projects get me fired up.

Lastly, I'm a systems programmer at heart. I love having direct access to the CPU and needing to understand the hardware architecture, as opposed to the internals of an interpreter, to write well-working and well-performing code. I strive to understand the core of what I'm working on.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held".

Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer! I bounce between Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada and Central America. I've been working remotely for ten years; going back to the office would be a real hard sell.

This is solid, I liked the pseudo-jthread; kinda wild it took til C++20 to be added.
Yep, that's the primary driver for my advocating their domestication.
> Wikipedia seems to be quite good on article diversity [0]

Yes, Wikipedia has good diversity of articles, but not necessarily good quality of articles. Anything that might be political, controversial, open to interpretation, etc., has a good chance of being biased one way or another. Math and science articles are generally very high quality though.

Batteries have no where near the energy density of fossil fuels.

You end up paying just to carry the batteries around - wasteful.

And until electricity generation is 100% clean, electric not helpful for climate, either.
I really like Haxe.

I want smaller game engines to succeed, but the tooling is just painful to use.

From the time I spent with Haxe, it's very neat language. At the same time, half of why I make games is to learn.

If I have to use your custom language I'm not learning skills to use at work.

For example, with C# you can make games with several languages, you can also work on boring Fintech so you can pay your rent.

With .net core open source I'd love for more engines to use it. Godot 4 with Mono will be a very very strong contender.
What about Hitchcock? Lang? Sturges? Von Sternberg? Welles?

Directors enjoyed top-billing prior to the articles and films by the Cahiers du Cinéma critics. While they made a huge contribution to the form of cinema, how many people really saw Breathless or read Hitchcock/Truffaut?

New Hollywood was mostly egged on by whip-smart critics with a wide circulation like Andrew Sarris and Pauline Kael, who further elevated the director as artist in the public mind. The studios followed suit and thought they could make a buck with these prestige films, until there were too many self-indulgent flops.
A model system that’s expendable (meaning you can repeat experiments in hundreds or thousands), cheap, and perfectly represents a human organ and also its immune system. Currently mice are used. But mice aren’t human! This didn’t matter too much when the drugs were simple and affected proteins that don’t change much in mammals but now we’re generally worried about diseases very specific to humans. Do you know we have many types of humanized mice? There are now very successful organoids research teams making great progress. These are far more exciting for drug discovery than getting the whole proteome structure catalogued. But that doesn’t involve computers so it’s not as exciting for a large population of technical people who want to help.

Unless of course you think you can truly model the entire human body pharmacologically using AI or whatever. That’ll help.

Not to take anything away from the game devs (PoE is great and I wish I had started playing sooner) but I wonder how much internal politics plays a part.

I can imagine that the game studio has most if not everyone onboard helping collectively to make the game better each iteration. It is a common goal.

How many different product teams and managers get in the way for products at other companies where each is fighting for funding or privilege?

Being in that kind of environment is draining for the product teams.

Having worked at places that matched both these situations, I know where the quality and quantity of my output was greater.

You provided the answer yourself: there already is a list of limits for things we definitely don't want in our water. If we find new things that we didn't notice before, we ASAP figure out what their health impact is, and introduce appropriate limits and procedures to mitigate the hazard. And such checks are already applied to water sources and distribution facilities to ensure their safety.
This is what's truly mindblowing about Lucas Pope to me. Many people are technically talented, but good game designers are really, really hard to come by. Having both in one person just feels unfair.

Obra Dinn, especially, is one of my favourite games of all time, it's such a unique experience.
"They are doing just enough in the office to keep up, then leaving work on time and muting Slack."

Lol - the definition for "quiet quitting" is doing your job to expectations and leaving on time.

So not overdoing your job is basically quitting in their eyes. Ridiculous.
With the rise of EVs, the knowledge will become obsolete very quickly, though.

This is as much a stab in the dark as any, but as someone that builds/rebuilds ROM sets pretty often (leading me to do a lot of hash-specific searches) I've noticed that there's a lot of crypto-trading related hashes in the indices they maintain.

I'm assuming what happens is that the hashes for various blockchain transactions have a lot of common sub-strings within that collide with non-crypto stuff, hence why they get offered.

Maybe the folks that manage the search engine were finding that these crawls were adding a lot of useless info and just blanket blocked their inclusion?
> But MDs don't offer clinical tests for "inflammation"

They do, in fact.

> because allopathy doesn't recognize "inflammation" as a symptom caused by our diets, or something they can prevent, beyond prescribing ibuprofen to allegedly reduce it.

Yes, it does. In fact, it's almost the opposite: medicine recognizes inflammation as a common symptom (and intermediary contributor to lots of other conditions) with many causes and contributions, and the tests for inflammation don’t distinguish between causes, or even between the broad categories of chronic and acute inflammation, and therefore are only viewed as having particular marginal benefit in certain circumstances. OTOH, they are indicated when certain symptom clusters appear, or as part of a regime of monitoring inflammatory conditions.
The market won't react harshly given it'd only happen if compelled by court order, and it still would simply be stock transferred to the banks with the banks selling it off over years to recoup their loan amount.

Omg SpaceMonger. There's a blast from the past. Used to be an essential and crucial tool for me back in the day around the turn of the millennium.

Respect to whoever programmed it. Disk Inventory X became a must-install as soon as I switched over to Mac. Something about being able to see your whole disk that's more enlightening than browsing directories or trees somehow.

Computertime with Gooch is probably the weirdest and funniest, but I Have Delivered Value has me in stitches every time. Every time my any of my friends runs into an inconvenience, I ask if it's a blocker, and if it will prevent the KPIs of their life from growing quarter over quarter. Though actually, considering our narrator's ennui is preventing Galactus from knowing the end of the universe and thus from getting user info, maybe he should be a little more focused on deliverables
The entire studio culture that rationalized cinema as a production line for entertainment comes from Hollywood. "Authorism" has more to do with European cinema.
As I commented elsewhere here, my current method is to get a towel around them and drag.

I agree! But it seems that the books all stop at 1850. Or they toss in a few cursory chapters at the end. (If there's some text that doesn't do this, I'd love to read it.)
I gave FreeBSD a try:

I provided a workaround for a design flaw in freebsd-update, details and tool can found here: https://github.com/tux2bsd/freebsd-update-probe

FreeBSD separation of OS vs other applications is great. /etc/rc.conf = good.

FreeBSD pioneered ZFS integration but the project appears to be coasting on that success.

The FreeBSD forums, linked from the FreeBSD website are insular. FreeBSD zealots LARPing as the "true" BSD / Unix enthusiasts. A dozen or so users in a clique that habitually derail discussion.

If you want to try FreeBSD just use the Handbook, it documents FreeBSD very well. That said betrays childish aspects e.g. they refuse to list that FreeBSD can run on Linux/KVM (the mere fact it can, I'm not talking in depth instructions).
You don't. Go buy it and the price will be gone.
Love this game, bought it for different platforms over the years. I’ll prob end up doing the same for mobile :)
Papers Please, FTL and Don’t Starve (discovered them around the same time) are on my top list of games, it was a period of very fine releases.

It's not a single digit minute read, but to me "Git from the Bottom Up" was what really made me understand git a long time ago.

https://jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-bottom-up/

git's the kind of tool where understanding how your commands operate on the underlying data structures will probably make it a lot easier to use efficiently. (And they're beautifully simple despite how powerful and flexible they are)

As a tool you might be using for hours per week for a few more decades, it's worth the investment going beyond the "in x minutes". I tend to provide both to juniors.

I think you're reading too much into the word "advanced".

One sense of "advance" does mean to improve, but another commonly used sense is simply to "move forwards". History advances, literature advances, music genres and technique advance, time advances. None of those imply improvement or a value judgment, just moving-forwards and building-upon (or building-in-reaction-to).

You can absolutely say drama has advanced since Shakespeare, and few people would misunderstand. To say it hadn't would mean nobody had continued to write plays in the same tradition of western literature.

Andrew Jackson's Big Block of Cheese
I like to use a fisherman's knot before soldering two wires together. It makes the bond way stronger, and it looks good.

The most useless one I know of is that speedy way some people tie their shoes with one quick movement. It looks impressive, but that knot can't really hold, so it comes undone really easily.
That's a good question. I'm not sure anyone knows the answer yet.

My only contribution to that question at the moment would be to say that I think it might be over-simplifying to think in terms of the AGI having just one goal, or even having one clear "prime" goal. If there's no constraint that it be "human like" then I suppose its goal(s) can be whatever its designer programs in.

In the research I'm doing (which is very incipient and not particularly advanced at the moment) I'm exploring the idea of having the "AI" have a variety of internal metrics (I suppose you could consider them loosely analogous to human emotions) such as "boredom", "curiosity", "confusion", and so on. And the core processing loop may be driven by the "AI" trying to balance those various metrics. For example, if "boredom" is high, it may seek to engage someone in conversation, or go off and start reading Wikipedia pages.

If "confusion" is high it might start running internal simulations or using abductive inference to try and generate explanations for things it doesn't currently understand. Or if there is a current interlocutor engaged in conversation with it, maybe it starts asking "who, what, when, where, how, why" type questions.

A big hole in this scheme is that I don't currently know, or claim to know, exactly how to train it to use interrogatives to ask questions. I'm planning to start a deep dive into the current BOK on human childhood language acquisition to see if there is something to be borrowed from that world, but that's pure speculation on my part right now.
I will say one thing: I really appreciate you replying to me politely and keeping this civil. I understand this is a sensitive topic and I appreciate being able to discuss it, and even disagree, without this turning into a flamewar.
Pick an interesting part and start writing unit tests.

You're asking how to tell them to fuck off.

The answer is that you tell them to fuck off.
I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of this post is. GNU/Linux is already ready for the desktop; I and others use it. The rest of the article is a mixture of 'X sucks because it's proprietary and doesn't work on Linux', which we already knew about and only the maker of X is to blame, and downright falsehoods such as 'Problems stemming from low Linux popularity and open source nature' -- the libre/oss nature of it is a problem? What?
It is! GitHub suggests this, Gmail requires it. Yubikey has a 2-pack discount that's nearly as cheap as a single key.
I find the idea of the life of a misanthropic bookstore owner to be very appealing - very much in the vein of UK comedy show “Black Books”.

Just sales. Transferrable skill to whatever interest they want. Also teeaches them self reliance and responsibility.

Not all of them. Square doesn't quite meet the bar for the top tier, but I can confirm that nobody gets special treatment for the open source work I'm involved with. It's easier to get face time with maintainers, sure, but you have no special access to the external project.
Nowhere near as impressive as in person, but the close-up view of the high murals is nice. I haven't been to the DIA in too long!
Your example harms have an immediate effect. Sun exposure usually does not.
99% of the time you don't need to be recursive though. Field filtering with 1 level of expansion for related resources solves 95% of problems for you, and if you're implementing something on your own API, you can have a custom route for the 5%.

GraphQL falls into the same trap that a lot of things do IMO - it assumes that because 5% of things are complex, that you need a solution that can deal with that complexity for 100% of your API, which needlessly complicates everything else.
This article reveals conflicting goals: "...we should take an ethnomusicological approach" vs. "It would be better to have some hard data on what we all collectively think makes for valid music" Embracing musical balkanization akin to Los Angeles in contrast to distilling musical practice akin to the melting pot of New York City. I am much more supportive of the former approach yet it is impractical when representing musical form in a rightly finite curriculum. It requires a more decentralized effort, and students receive a scatterplot of perspectives. Perhaps sharing the extraordinary depth of theory and musicology focussed on canonical artists such as Beethoven isn't so bad after all. Though I have personally challenged professors who dished it to me repeatedly. I think there are serious feasibility issues with effectively addressing timbre as a musical dimension; this is problematic for adequate theories of music given the centrality of timbre in many forms of modern music. However, it remains embarrassing for the academy not to be able to coherently address what is so obviously saturating their students ears.
I don’t hate google but Google is not just search, it’s an ecosystem. OS, browser, email, search etc.

Wrt to Search,

Scale: Huge cost of infrastructure, data is privatize.

You could run a hobby scale pagerank but for searching web it would be a needle in a haystack.

They have competition like yandex, nacy, baidu but are not for English web and not open source
Strawberry (a GraphQL lib for Python) actually supports using generics to define types, it’s often used for supporting repetitive structures like pagination.
I was about to write this. Lukas Pope is not only technically talented, he's also a brilliant games designer.

As for Obra Dinn, I found it very cool that many puzzles have more than one answer, in particular when it's a subjective matter!
You forgot number 1: '200 your graphql request succeeded, here are all your errors'.

...I get it, the gql request did succeed, I've previously described it as like a 'layer 8' on top of HTTP: the problem being that all the tooling is for HTTP.

I wish 'REST' was one thing - with generated OpenAPI servers/clients & 'links' for example we could achieve what gql sets out to, if only there was a single way to do it.
This was my first guess
Makes sense. But it's likely that the overlap between people who have it and the people who would pay for it is fairly small, if he managed to pull it down quickly.
As long as those engines are still working (and laws aren't put in place to ban them), then there will be a demand for that knowledge.
But yeah, the development of tonality kinda stopped in the 1850 range, with maybe Stravinsky, Tatum, and the 1940s Bebopers extending it as an exception. But at that point, tonality had passed out of the "art world" -- everything post-Duchamp's "Fountain" has been a bit more deconstructive and nihilistic.

Maybe of note, pun intended, Schoenberg was pursuing the "emancipation of the dissonances" while the Bolsheviks were destroying Russia. And of course, that's part of why nobody listens to Schoenberg or performs his stuff -- it's grating and kinda horrible, at least after he abandoned high Romanticism after Opus 5.

Even relying too much on any navigational aid can be harmful. I've been in foreign cities using Google Maps or Waze and they've had streets marked as one-way but the wrong way, so I almost went on that street if I hadn't spotted the signs.

Even when using the correct mode, or whatever, you should always look at the available signage, and you should be in the clear.
The 2012 plenary session in the biggest cancer conference in the world was about cancer causing viruses in red meat that wasn’t cooked to a certain temperature. It hasn’t really panned out since. In any case, the bottom line remains that red meat can cause cancer. Preparing it a certain way might reduce the risk but not to zero. Humans still eat a lot of non-virally sterile meat. Yes we can spend the next 100 years studying it, but what should one have for dinner tonight? The answer it seems is probably not red meat.
Rebasing doesn't rewrite history, it creates an entirely new history, but all of the old commits still exist unless they are reaped by the GC at some point.
I consider both games to be masterpieces, keeping my attention even when I was bored with gaming in general.
