> But with AOT compiled Java and extensions like @Uninterruptible you can do it.

Yeah, but also the code shown above used native low level primitives like mmap which typically aren't available.

AOT, special behavior directives (@Uninterruptible), native memory access, making sure not to use new (?), at that point you are formally using Java, the language, but it's sort of its own thing.

So, that's still cool and likely no way around it but I wonder to what degree it's actually beneficial: Your program is much closer to a C++ program than a Java one except for syntax and the additional glue abstractions that typically exist in neither. In a (exaggerated) sense it's like it's written in a C++ DSL embedded in Java.

If you know how to write C++ it's possibly simpler to just write it in C++ as you know how memory management there works. If you know Java you need to get familiar to the extensions used here.

This is a bit different from the idea of self-hosting a compiler for instance where you can start writing your compiler now ideomatically in your own language instead of something different. For instance if your language & runtime has GC it's much simpler / safer to write a program in it, and so a compiler in it than pre-self-hosting (if the earlier compiler was written in C).

So what in particular is afforded by writing the GC in "Special Java" ? Is it just about being able to say "it's all in Java" or are there language features in "Special Java" that make live easier than C++? Or other benefits? For instance, I imagine use of the wider ecosystem / libraries isn't possible whereas in C++ it is (more so at least).

It would be nice if somehow you could write a GC itself in regular old Java without having to worry about aspects of how to do it in a special, restricted way. Say, the code you write and which runs the garbage collection creates objects, which subsequently get cleaned up by your very own GC program.

In the end you still have to work with low level abstractions / memory though and maybe that's still different to the self-hosted compiler example in a sense: There you translate code into a language that is more low level but you don't need to have these abstractions available in your own language / on your stage of computation / while running your compiler.

Thanks for the feedback :) The highest resolution models you can currently find on windy is around 3x3 km (HRRR) and this resolution is unfortunately too big to capture fine terrain and water features. 300x300 gives you 100 times more data points to work with.

On part that's what ensembles are about: they run like 20 or so simulations of the near future, randomizing the start values and simulation parameters within the range of uncertainty, and get one potential future per simulation out of the process.

A 30% rain chance every hour of the entire afternoon until sunset tends to be less actionable than "85% chance of a 50~80 minute rain shower during the afternoon, unclear when, but likely a bit longer if it'd start very late", as one can often adapt around such, for example by scheduling the homework to get done "wherever it's raining, at the latest so it'll be finished by dinner time", spending the dry time with outdoor physical activity that doesn't care about wet ground (but getting wet from above isn't nice).
Got it! Didn’t know.

Thanks for sharing your experiences OP.

I have gone through the joys and pain of having an app approved and pushed live, to being teared down and removed for not meeting certain guidelines.

What frustrates me, is the reasons are very vague or don't have go into detail as to how YOUR app is in violation.

It is just a generic statement and you have to go through the hell of trial and error to figure it out.

The main ones I have faced are the following.

* Not adhering to Families policy requirements policy

* Not adhering to Google Play Developer Programme Policies

My apps are games built using Trusted Web Applications (TWA) and Google talk about the following...

"Your app must not merely provide a webview of a website or have a primary purpose of driving affiliate traffic to a website, regardless of ownership of the website. We are constantly exploring ways to enable new experiences for kids app developers. If you are interested in joining our Trusted Web App pilot for education apps, please submit your interest here"

My apps have no ads, no tracking, no analytics, they have a privacy policy, but it still gets rejected. :(
I appreciate the work, but I'm feeling some pure visual effects might be unnecessary. When you can scroll effortlessly on a screen and have effectively infinite space, do you still need to squeeze a lot of elements to a small area? Instead of using image sliders, view switchers or tabs, you can consider using a larger container and show all contents at the same time, with the help of js-free flexboxes or grids.

This is true.

The story carried Witcher 1. Gameplay was vastly improved in 2 and I have mixed feelings about 3, the game was definitely more successful and I think you can partially attribute that to changes that made it easier to play and thus much more console friendly.

I for one welcome a UE5 remake of Witcher 1 and will purchase it for sure, if only for nostalgia sake.
To expand on this a bit, oil and particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facilities are hard to stop and restart. Many systems need to be at a particular temperature, hydrates can form in gas pipelines during long shutdowns and thus need chemical back injection to manage, hot/cold cycling of equipment cause thermal degradation and many other challenges.

So a lot of design work for oil and gas production facilities is around minimising shutdowns. A large part of this is working out storage capacities, and for LNG, the shipping rates. If the LNG carriers (tankers) are unable to offload at a receiving terminal there is a higher chance the LNG loading terminal will reach tank tops. Tank tops at the loading terminal means the upstream production facility will need to turn down or stop all production. Given the high costs (capital and production opportunity) that incurs for the production facility, it might be better to take a short term loss for a few cargoes to prevent the tank tops at the loading terminal and thus a production shutdown.

In all seriousness, Isaac Asimov defended this approach (at least he explored in his books in a non-negative light): let's just live in Caves of Steel.

I think this reply says it better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32934162

In short, I think from a humility standpoint that's probably not the best solution. I think there's value in preserving animal life, and also they really help balance Earth's environment which we don't understand well enough nor have adequate industries to replace yet, I believe. If we're going to live in Caves of Steel anyway, why not reserve say 50% of land for wild reserves? Do you want to have paradise and however many billion people you can fit in a planetary steel maze, or do you want just one single planetary steel maze with twice as many individuals? I think the answer is the former, pretty clearly.

Also, in the long term we do have other planets we can build planetary scale steel mazes unimpeded, like Mercury -- I'm sure we'll be able to within a few centuries if we don't destroy our ourselves and our environmental sustainability (I'll be rooting for humanity meanwhile).

I try to always carry a book or a kindle with me.

I use dead time to read :

- toilet
- waiting in line
- transport
- random breaks
- before going to sleep

I also read on my computer to relax a bit.

I try to block time to read, but more often than not it does not work, because it’s not always a priority.

But I never fail to read when I always have a book with me. Few pages here and there, multiple times a day go a very long way.

I usually average between 40 and 70 books a year.

I usually read multiple books at the same time, a classic, something technical, a fiction, maybe a biography or a business book.

I never force myself to read something specific if I am not in the mood (but I always have something purely entertaining that almost always work : Terry Pratchett at the moment)
A lot of the footage is definitely FOIA'able, but it's not a default and they will readily deny you for arbitrary reasons. Most common is because of "undue burden", for the time it takes to review/redact.

Last time I requested/received surveillance video of a protest, it took about 3-4 months to get through FOIA and they didn't even redact it.

And for good reason too. Apple is in a league of its own in quality.
I don't think you want a billing app there, but instead, you'd develop your own app and publish on AWS marketplace. You can get them to bill for your service on top of their charges too (basically, if I activate your "app" for my ec2 instance, I get billed for ec2 usage and whatever pricing you set up yourself).
I'm not sure it does.

Counterpoint (true story): A few years ago I bought a drone, it turned out to be crap, so I sent it back and bought a DJI instead. Just like they track "people who bought A also bought B" I can imagine them tracking "people who bought A are likely to learn from their mistake and buy B".
You use Plex because you think it's easier to use than Emby/Jellyfin. It would behoove you to recognize where you have been successfully marketed to.

It's odd to reply to a thread about a piece of software that has always been FOSS, and parading the solution you paid for while saying "You can't pay for a better solution than something I've paid for!"

Jellyfin is a better solution than Plex, and you're not paying anything! Imagine that.

That you can't really help people without making money, having a profitable product/service/model.

Even the most selfless billionaires investor rarely want to burn a billion dollar in a money pit.

You can't work with people, who hate making money, who are so anti-capitalistic that the very thought of turning a profit goes against who they are as a person, no matter how benevolent or competent in other areas they are.

If you want to have any kind of real impact, you need to think like a business, a real business, except you'll just not be the one who benefits from the profits. You need stable revenue, profits, growth, even if it's to reinvest everything, but you can't be like "oh it's not about the money, we don't care about the money", the more of a non-profit you are the more you have to think about the money, unless Bill Gates is your daddy.

Of course you have to set to some limits in advance about the things that you'd never do, but you also have to be able to compromise, to see the bigger picture, if your decisions hurt 1 people to help 10 others maybe it's worth it, do no think in absolute, don't work with dogmatic people.

Also pay your people well, really well, a good salary spent on personal growth is an investment in the future of the project, just because money is not the ultimate goal, doesn't mean your partners/employees should have to deprive themselves. You can't perform if you can't take care of yourself.

> Penrose is great but resting your argument on his work is dubious.

As I was not resting my argument on his work, this is a straw man. I merely used Penrose as one of two examples to counter GGP's unsupported assertion.

> Physics does indeed tell us that intelligence is possible, inasmuch as we are intelligent. Unless you are claiming that you are not a materialist?

Physics does not tell us that strong artificial intelligence is possible in the way the GGP attempted to prove with invalid argument.

> The GP is just asserting that 'a lot can happen over a few orders of magnitude', they aren't trying to proove anything.

The use of words such as "thus," and "therefore" really gives it away that is precisely what they were attempting.

> It seems like you are making your 'proof by assertion' rebuttal do a lot of work for you, without making and strong claims yourself other than 'GP didn't give good reasons why AGI will be a thing'.

I am not required to entertain fallacious argument, and yet, generously, I identified the type of fallacy.

> Maybe GP didn't give satisfying reasons, but if you know so much about this stuff it would probably be a worthwhile thought experiment for you to attempt to steelman the Strong AI position instead of shouting it down.

Maybe I will. I just might do that.
No.
First off, most dams silt up, not only not of being use in storing water but also not in creating power. Second, once they silt up, whatever ecosystem there is also destroyed and artificially created ecosystems are never natural and usually are bad for local fish populations. Artificial lakes can also host a number of non-native fish and are not any benefit to the native species that should be living there. Also, dams also block the migration paths of native fish.

Just think of this way, dams have a life span and for the most part, most of them in US have hit the end of their life spans and should be removed. They serve no purpose to anyone.
For everyone who disagrees with this form of protest/activism/vandalism campaign:

independent of all other factors, it is a successful exploitation of the outrage media chain in exactly the fashion its architects intended. By that measure at least it is a clear success.

I am asserting that whatever else you or I may believe about the premises, we all now have repeatedly in our collective consciousness that "there is some set of young idealists/fools/vandals/you-name-its, who believe that climate change is enough of an existential threat that it warrants this sort of attack on collective cultural heritage."

Whether you or I agree with the premise, or more debated, the strategy or its presumptive justifications,

we are now in a world in which such actions are now a repeated knock knock knock on the door by the zealous demanding that we attend to climate change.

That some of us may respond vindictively or merely become enraged is an acceptable cost—one I assume the architects of this campaign couldn't care less about.

I expect this and similar campaigns will only become more active and more common as our various perils and passions continue to overwhelm the premises of civil discourse and proper channels.

I actually agree with you. The point I'm trying to make is that these companies all have strange benefactors with their own agendas. Some people are out to make money, other people barter for power, and larger institutions yet make bids for surveillance capacity and government contracts.

It's beyond the understanding of your or I, and probably anyone. The relationship between these stakeholders is too complex to accurately dissect, but their actions speak louder than press releases.
Ad tuna ... it's worse than you think. I have to quote to a very good article:

"The Mitsubishi conglomerate controls a forty per cent share of the world market in bluefin tuna; they are freezing and hoarding huge stocks of the fish every year. While they claim this is to smooth supply on a year-to-year basis, conservationists believe they are acting in the expectation that in the event of the fish’s extinction in the wild, prices will skyrocket. Frozen in great stacks at –60oC by the same company who made my childhood cassette player, the bodies would be sold for astronomical prices.

It has a name, this uniquely vile game: it is called extinction speculation. It’s practised by those who collect Norwegian shark fin, rare bear bladders and rhino horn; men and women with hearts that sing along only to the song of money. There are collectors known to be building up huge piles of tiger pelts and vats of tiger bone wine. (The wine is made by soaking portions of a tiger’s skeleton in rice wine; it takes eight years to ferment, and can then be stored indefinitely.) If tigers go extinct in the wild, which is wholly possible by 2050, the value of these assets will soar."[0]

The tuna is not on brink of collapse because it competes with sperm whales for food. They were here together, perfectly fine, for ... i don't know ... millions of years? It's near die off because we eat them and work tirelessly towards their extinction.

Also ... if you want to know more what happens to the ecosystem when some key species die off (it collapses), I highly recommend the movie Seaspiracy [1]
