> Now they genera more profit which they can invest in more property thus enabling possibly more units to be build.

Except that investing in new property might bring the revenues and profits of their current properties down, so there's a direct disincentive not to build more.
we are probably heading towards that because the usa did the same thing that caused it already.

The crisis happened because the usa put bombs in turkiye which is super close to the ussr.

Now the usa has bombs in turkiye and other nato members near russia.

The issue is that we can't handle what we dish out, I guarantee if russia station nukes further than we stationed them to russia that we would freak out and threaten nuclear apocalypse.

the usa makes unnecessary enemies by acting hypocritical and basically pushing other nations around.

At one point we could have gotten russia in nato and could have slowly influenced it to be like the rest of nato.

Instead we gave them the middle finger and created a jaded enemy that wants to be the ussr again because we treated them as the ussr.

This type of criticism sometimes seems to capture the spirit you're describing, but sometimes it seems to verge on entitlement when talking about video games.

I think it was John Carmack who bemoaned the fact that the video game audience quickly accepts any advancement in graphics as the new status quo for gaming, and complains about any game which doesn't immediately match it.

I think consumers of the medium don't always appreciate the technical achievement which modern AAA video games represent - it's maybe one of the few domains of computing which demands the people working on it to use 100% of the hardware, and to pull tons of dirty tricks to eek out every last bit of performance.

So sometimes it seems the audience attributes something to laziness, just because something is missing they have seen in another game, while what they are seeing is the result of very talented engineers working overtime to deliver a miracle.

There us a huge difference between you alone trusting a piece of software and the whole community verifying it at random.
You don’t need to shut down the ‘generating process’ to read parquet. With arrow, which is available in many languages, you have the notion of an arrow dataset, which is a directory of arrow files.

Just keep adding more files to the directory, and your dataset will grow.

Duckdb is able to connect to and read the dataset, so you’re all good.
On the assumption that there are big areas that can be skipped or deleted without any effect on the phenotype though, I've often wondered why there doesn't seem to be evolutionary pressure to delete them. Is it that the energy or other costs of duplication of those regions are not significant, or are there other factors that oppose it?
Yeah, it's much, MUCH different to have those vistas unfold in front of your eyes at smooth 144 fps while you have control over the movement and everything compared to hyperanalizing 1 still frame or a sequence of frames with no real control.
I've done that many times and never used exact equality comparisons.

If you do exact comparisons for any non-trivial cases, you'll find different compilers, optimization settings, runtimes, and processors give different results.
Just because someone does something doesn't mean everyone else gets it for free. It takes effort to implement in every single game.

Go on a three week video game moratorium. Get on a regular sleep schedule that wakes you up earlier than normal. Make task todo lists. Make “intentions for the week” lists. Make the items small grains of sand sand. Tick them off as you finish some of them. It won’t be everything probably. Get yourself on a program of your choosing and it becomes a virtuous cycle.

Talk to someone too. Not commiserate, which isn’t helpful, but someone who could help or offer objective advice or just even understand you better after you say your piece.

The US federal government explicitly and implicitly guarantees a huge portion of the mortgage market, keeping an interest rates lower than they would be. Explicitly via things like FHA/VA/Ginnie Mae loans since investors know the government will pay even if borrowers default, and implicitly by bailing out Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac in 2008, as well as the COVID bailouts (unemployment/PPP).

All of these actions either accrue more debt for the federal government, which usually means higher taxes in the future, or increase money supply, which means reduced purchasing power for users of the currency, which also includes taxpayers.

I write usually in the paragraph above because if the debt or issuance of new money results in commensurate economic growth, then it would not reduce purchasing power, but I am of the opinion that a large part of the economic growth equation is birthrates and proportion of working age population, which has been in decline for a long time. The effects were tempered due to automation/immigration and productivity enhancements in general, but I do not think that has been able to keep up with declines in birth rate for a while now.

Right; no; here's a fully interactive map of the roots of NIMBYism in segregation, from Berkeley:

https://news.berkeley.edu/2021/06/21/how-american-racism-is-...

My wife is actively involved in redistricting litigation, in Texas, and core root of it is from pro-segregation redlining in the early-to-mid 20th century; the intent is disenfranchisement. The set of laws, covenants, HOAs, and attitudes (NIMBY) towards the construction of suburbs is entirely rooted in segregation. That was one of their literal selling points. To this day, there are home purchase covenants restricting Jews and Colored Persons — it's super unfunny when the real estate agent laughs and asks "you're not Jewish, are you? There's this weird, unenforceable provision..."; and, then, you still have to get a Judge to strike the restriction.

Some people cheer for the opposite: that a carnivore diet (or animal product only, but dairy/milk/cheese is bad and highly inflammatory for many) is what essentially cured them of mainly ailments.

So, just to put that balanced perspective to OP.
It’s a challenge many people face. The elephant in the room in this article though is not acknowledging that affirmative action does often promote people into positions they are not ready for. People in those situations know it deep down and so these impostor feelings are both natural and correct. Rather than telling these people that they feel this way because the institutions they inhabit are unwelcoming, we could acknowledge the affirmative action in play and provide them extra resources to “catch up” — akin to the math catch up courses many colleges offer for those not quite ready for standard first year courses.
Flatbread is pretty tasty I hear.
yeah people don't seem to understand the reality of nuclear war, how much nations want to avoid it, and that russia isn't a paper tiger like the news claims.

Russia is a near equal to america in its nuclear tech and absolutely has the firepower needed to induce MAD back at us.

Its the dumbest thing to think for a second that its a good idea to push for any kind of war with russia because it runs the risk of a game over for all nations involved.

places like the uk are absolutely done for, the whole island would be a mess.
4 decimals can adequately address most interest rate calculations.

One 3 line function can handle applying an interest rate to monetary amounts held as scaled integers. Instead of taking the time to write this one function, the typical developer will build the entire software around floats which causes endless issues.
> Plenty of land mammals have gone back to aquatic living but they don’t regain gills so they still go back to the surface.

Breathing air is probably a superior system anyway, since mammalian fish utterly dominate gilled fish in nearly every respect. What gilled fish can dive like a sperm whale, acquire the bulk of a blue whale, or the agility of a dolphin?
I've been wondering, though - those don't really help you unless you move there full-time. I think that most flights would be cancelled in the aftermath of a nuclear war, and even if you have a private plane, a nuclear explosion wouldn't have to that close to fry enough of the electronics to ground that plane.
Also of interest might be the treatment by Lev Landau in his Course on Theoretical Physics Volume 3: Quantum Mechanics - non-relativistic theory. Deriving the Born "postulate" is in Section7: "The wave function and measurements" in the most available 2nd edition (but it is admittedly a rather abbreviated derivation). I am not sure if that was in the original 1958 edition.

Quantum systems measuring other quantum systems is part & parcel of quantum computation. So that can lead to more clear thinking on (some of) these matters.
yeah thats a good point, russia has crappy tanks and stuff but a lot of that is they used their military spending on nuclear weapons.

they know its their best trump card and they want to "win" by killing us more efficiently.
Russia has hypersonic reentry vehicles, they are pretty much impossible to intercept (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat), each of these MIRV contains 10-15 nuclear warheads or an unspecified number of hypersonic glide vehicles (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avangard_(hypersonic_glide_v... )with nuclear payloads. They figured out the hydrodynamics to make the hypersonic glide vehicles work, I believe the US is roughly a decade behind on that. Note that this requires genuinely hard math to do and the US funding on this was temporarily suspended because it was thought to be infeasible.
If this is your first kid, I can recall the intense mix of happiness and “oh shit, the game just changed!” feelings when we were expecting our first. That seems totally normal/expected based on my experience.

I can’t give specific advice, but can say that, for me, getting started on some mildly unpleasant task is far more challenging than the reality of completing it. I can spend hours dreading a five minute task. Knowing that rationally and calling myself out on my own bullshit works for me (a lot, but not all, of the time).

Good luck.

Literally true. And the used-in-WWI German rifle (Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr) which the M2 was designed to match (the armor penetration of) fired a 13.2×92mm SR cartridge, not 12.7×99mm NATO (.50 cal).

You need a break. Nothing short of 2 whole weeks.

Give your mind and body chance to have a complete switch from the routine.

And it doesn't need to be a 'holiday' - a staycation can be far more relaxing than tiring, stressful, expensive travel.

Be intentional about not getting dragged into videos/games/services - read a physical book or two, walk, exercise. Go on dates, call family.

It seems to me that people ITT read ‘Soviet psychic dogs’, and their mind jumps to imagining cold-war shenanigans. And they completely miss the ‘1922’ right at the beginning of the article—when the SU was barely starting, Durov was living out the fame acquired under the Tsarist Russian Empire, and oldschool off-the-wall ‘science’ by enterprising gentlemen was still around. Basically the dude wanted to see the trainer do psychic stuff wtih his dogs, so he went and did. It doesn't look like the state spent millions of rubles on that, and it's not clear if Kazhinsky's reports went anywhere other than the shelf—while notably he seems to have finished some writeups in 1962, when the Cold War was going into full swing.
The people of Namibia and Niger disagree.

Low yield nuclear ore has lower usable energy density than coal, and being beaten by french and chinese mine owners then poisoned by heavy metal laden sulfuric acid isn't safe.

Edit: On reflection, if you use a modern reactor and modern centrifuges, then the ore from Rossing produces 28MJ/kg of electricity. This is double that of coal. So this is slight hyperbole -- but not by much.
Have you ever considered that trying to regulate speech to avoid "toxicity" creates a feedback loop that actually intensifies "toxicity"?

Online debate used to very intense and used plenty of naughty language and what would be considered cancellable slurs, but never felt deeply personal. The winner of the debate was the person who presented the best ideas in the clearest fashion. People of all stripes: whether Dirty Commies or Filthy Libertarians could go to an off-topic board, have pages long debates all together about abstruse topics like who in the hell should build the roads, and then go back to shooting the shit about basketball and computer games without blinking an eye.

People had the chance to freely vent. This is a good thing. It's bad when pressure builds up in a system when it cannot be released.

Today, Internet discourse takes a different form. Partially due to iDevices and social media making the Internet accessible to every low-IQ person out there who has very little business ever sharing any ideas with anybody, petty and unintelligent people debate by trying to bait the other side into rule-breaking so they can appeal to daddy-corporation to hit the other guy with the ban hammer. Every minor disagreement drips with pure resentment and intensity. Just one minor moment of weakness where somebody borderline-arguably breaks a rule becomes a gotcha moment where the other side can feign being outraged so they can try and get the other guy banned.

This modern safe space Internet is the real "toxicity" generator.
I would assume it depends on the kind of strike.

If the russians use small yield nukes not much bigger than regular missiles I really doubt any nato response would happen.

The reality is a response is a possible avenue to real nuclear war, its stupid to basically commit suicide like that.

Russia wouldn't dare let anything reach the rest of europe, any nukes they use are almost certainly going to be small yield which nato wouldn't bother responding too, they are about as big as regular missiles.
Poster of the waves and squelch comment here. I probably should have added that I too find it an incredible achievement before listing the things I noticed that were off. I listed those things because I know that the people who work on these games and engines frequent hacker news so if I point the main things out that I’ve noticed as being off then it’s feedback for those guys as to what to work on next. Things like the NPC animation are pretty obvious but stuff like the lack of squelch are easy to overlook.

I also like to hear from people involved in these things, who may post a comment or reply about efforts going into solving these challenges. I’ve learned some cool things about Far Cry 2 which I didn’t know about after posting that comment.

Nothing should be above criticism. The Titanic was an amazing achievement for its time but thankfully we have learned from its mistakes and now build better and safer ships as a result. We need both praise and criticism in the world in order to succeed. Whilst it is tempting to “bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone eat and be happy” it does not lead to happiness or successful outcomes in the long term.

To paraphrase Ferris Bueller, we should “stop and look around once in a while, else you might miss it”. We should especially do this after our successes. But nonetheless, the world spins ever onwards and we should aim to improve with every iteration of that spin lest we fall backwards.

One of the points taken should be that either via ML or human diagnostic is that these rare problems are either not diagnosed for long periods of time reducing quality of life or diagnosed posthumously.

The reduction of these measures are what we should use when making meat vs machine efficiency correlations.
> The usage of locally forbidden material in online gaming, to insta ban opponents or as a form of protest is a well known trivial hack.

Cleanup your room. Cleanup your appearance (hair, beard, cloths, etc).

Taking care of yourself reaffirms to your brain that you value yourself, and will get you moving again in the right direction.

If I may "guess" what's going on:

You are becoming a father but you weren't planning on it, or the mother is not the right person for you, but you feel obligated and so you have no choice?

First of all, you always have a choice. Do your duty, but do it out of your own volition, not out of fear of being seen in a negative light by society / parents / etc.

If you must, try doing things that would upset people whom scold you fear. Quit your job and try to find another one or become independent and work contracts while building up a business.

Do something that you believe in your gut is the right thing to do even though it will upset some people. You will feel such a relief. Now you can act out of your own volition.

Now, do this with every aspect of life. Do what you believe is right. Take people's input if you must, but own the decision and don't be afraid of their reactions.

I see this sentiment a lot, but it doesn't match what I've seen. One of my friends recently bought a relatively expensive house in South Texas and then a bit later plans arose to build an apartment complex nearby (maybe a few hundred units - I forget the details). He rallied his neighbors to talk to their city council and the project was cancelled.

I talked to him about it a bit and mentioned that it was almost textbook NIMBYism and he agreed. The thing is that at no point was home value ever part of his thinking - he bought this house at a bit of a premium to live in the neighborhood that had larger lots, relatively older, professional families, and quiet nights (his old house was near a college campus and had lots of renters who liked to party it up on all nights of the week).

He just wanted to keep his quiet, low-traffic neighborhood. He'd be happy if his house never increased in value since he plans on living there indefinitely and all an increase in price means to him is more in wealth/property taxes.

He is not the only one I've talked to who thinks this way.
I'm hiring developers in Georgia (Europe) and Germany right now! No US at the moment though. And there will be others, especially in Europe that have trouble hiring new developers.

AFAIK the weak memory model is interesting when you start to scale multicore. It is up to the programmer to sync correctly accesses so when it is not necessary all the units accessing the memory can operate more independently.

Congratulations to Clojure! I used ClojureScript for several years and I still consider it the best designed dynamic language in the open community. JavaScript might be great in many aspects due to huge contributions from Google and Mozilla, but it can hardly fix its young and immature designs made in last century.

Personally I moved to my own language Calcit for my own projects using dynamic language tools. Calcit is still following lots of designs from Clojure.
