There are also computed sprites (computing the sprite image by code based on input), which is what Spacewar! actually used. The spaceship graphics where defined as drawing commands (octal digits encoding directions like down, down and left, down and right, left, right, etc, one step each) in octal strings. Dan Edwards provided an ingenious "outline compiler", which compiled JIT machine code from these commands to draw the spaceships at the given rotational angle.

Here, the article is actually in error: Spacewar! did use sprites. The spaceship outlines could be easily defined by pattern strings, but were also drawn as fast as possible by their own mechanism, using x/y coordinates and an angle as the input. However, this was done purely in software and there was no special hardware facility for this.

Edit: Hardware sprites (as in Computer Space) were historically a cost effective replacement to something to the same effect without the need of a CPU. Later, with the advent of dedicated graphics chips, it became also a means of managing and accelerating graphics. A key feature of these chips was that these do also collision detection when mixing the image.
> issue their own token: CRO in Crypto.com's case. This token provides extra liquidity to your exchange

Yeah, this is where the fraud happens.

They're treating the token like a bond when it's just .. a made-up thing? It's not a promise to pay, it doesn't have a claim on anything, it doesn't buy you votes, it's just a shiny Pog that you can trade?

This would be like a casino claiming its chips as assets.

I don't think there is much you can do. Based on what you have written, I would assume you already invest a good portion in 401K, index funds, and other options.

If you have savings which aren't counted in that, you are better than 90% of the people out there who are happy and chugging along.

I would recommend building document with your backup plans and runaway. That should give you ample time to reflect.

Well, I think the hope is that formulae reveal relationships. Notable applications of SR have mostly been to physics and other science phenomena. So, you do some SR to understand the mathematical form of the relationship, and then carry on by trying to understand it causally.

Yes, it can be worse! In Switzerland the process is quite similar to Germany, but the pain really starts not with founding the firm but when you first start to employ people. Or indeed, when you need to shut the company down.

Source: I've done this. The first time I tried to shut a company down, my advisors (who you need to handle the local paperwork) didn't tell me about the "three strikes" requirement in the public register. So it took five years to get the company fully shut down.
You might find (Cramer, 1985) interesting! IIRC they go into exactly this problem. However, I can't find an open pdf to link to unfortunately. I'll edit this list tomorrow morning in case I misjudged (Cramer, 1985) or if I find a link..

Here are two hand-wavy arguments that may not be 100% correct:

* Structured Bias: A symbolic regression term allows you -- the scientist -- to control exactly what sort of expressions you expect to see. If I'm looking at data coming from a spring, I expect to see a lot of dampened sinusoids and little quantum physics. SR gives you control over the "programming language" while parametric regression will only allow you to change the number of parameters (not useful in this context).

* Generality: A regression term guarantees the best fit parametric equation as long as you have a comprehensive sample of your data range. A symbolic expression (most of the time) extrapolates beyond the provided data range. In fact, this is one of the constraints in the main proof in the paper (f* should generalize)! Basically: If I only have data for sin(x) from 0 to \pi, PR will find the best fit but there is no guarantee that the best fit will also work in the range \pi to 2\pi.

I want to stress that these aren't established facts and each of these pros actually introduces a lot of cons in the process (what if you introduce incorrect structured bias / what if the "general/simple" solution is actually a little imprecise... Like Newton's laws vs Einstein's theory)! This just means that there is plenty of exciting work to be done!

> and they both feel less entitled about the other part not speaking their language as English native speakers do

Have a couple of stories about this. Yes, some people think that you should know their language when they just speak theirs. I do not find it too polite, honestly. Especially a couple of times I saw things that even once made me jump in and say: "how many languages do you speak?" He was abroad, you know, in Asia. And I had to reply: "what makes you think everyone should speak english? You are not even in an english speaking country".

It is not nice to see people behave like that. I think it made the locals feel insulted, not bc he cannot speak the local language. It was because of the attitude of demanding the others to talk to him in english. English is the most used second language. But noone said each of us must learn it.

Just my two cents.
Educations function is already civilization building. The uncivilized are people who live outside of the system of state control. Civilization is the process of indoctrinating education to bring additional assets under the control of the state. However, job training does increase the long term value of state assets and a transition began in the 20th century and continues today. Some such as the author resist this trend because they prefer the traditional education system without understanding it’s historical social function.

> a foreigner should not expect a country to conduct its legal proceedings in a language different to their native.

If that is the case, perhaps countries should consider their native language as an actual disadvantage when it comes to attracting foreign investment? After all, if I need to learn, say, Slovenian, to open and run a business in Slovenia, that makes me less likely to do so. Which means that Slovenia might need to settle for lower tax rates or provide some other benefits in order to entice me to do business there.
To shake this kind of feeling, I like to "calculate" how things should go wrong for the worst case scenario to realize: if there aren't enough steps, I know what to work on, but usually it really makes me realize that I've built enough safety nets.

E.g.: right now, there are two possibilities: that I get laid off, or not. If not, everything good. If yes, there are two possibilities: that I find a job in a month or less, or not. If yes, all good. If not, I still have 2 months of savings that I can easily spread to 4 months reducing all accessories expenses.
Is it enough time? If yes, all good, if not, I can buy other 6 months selling assets. Are they enough? If yes, all good, if not, I have different layers of social nets that can help me (I am not going in details here, but I have at least other 5 steps before becoming homeless, and all of them have a very low probably of failure, barring a nuclear war).

So, the worst case scenario is less probable that being hit by a car while going to my current job, so not really something I should worry about
In one of recent videos she even hand waved at quantum biology, stating that in fact there is such a thing like quantum biology, but everything [all matter] is quantum after all. I got a strong impression that she did not dive into the topic at all and in fact she has no idea about quantum effects in biology.
indeed. As I was doing the process with two native German speakers, the language was really the minor part of the problem. Really it is the overall process that is absurd.
> But I have too many acquaintances that are now working in positions they are very much overqualified for.

> Literature major working as a low level clerk for example.

What exactly is a literature major qualified to do though? I don't say this to be mean it is just there is this strange perception out there that the very act of getting a degree in something "qualifies" you for some job that will be high-paying etc.

I think of a counter-example where if someone got a degree in scuba-diving would they be "over-qualified" to be a clerk? Well it depends what we mean by "qualified" right? I only think someone is overqualified for their job if their skill set is:

1. In high demand

2. They are unable to practice it

For example, a doctor working unwillingly as a taxi driver is over-qualified because there is huge demand for doctors but for whatever reason this person can't get a job. Or a developer working as a street cleaner etc.

Having a qualification that you don't use isn't enough to be determined "over-qualified". It is only if there is demand for your skills but you can't use them for whatever reason that it makes sense.
Can someone explain Popper's criticism of Hegel?
Delays don’t prove an exchange is fraudulent. Small delays happen legitimately due to the hot wallet becoming empty during a period of greater than expected withdrawals.

In a period of normalcy, these small delays are forgotten. However users are extremely nervous right now. Users can interpret small delays as insolvency, which causes a torrent of withdrawals which take even longer to process.

I don't think it was that silly to expect a transition from a stable, mature architecture, sold (albeit too expensive) by an established chip maker, to a new (to desktop) architecture designed in-house by a company known for its phones, especially when you consider that desktop workloads are very different from "here is an API for our walled garden" workloads.

Add to that the fact that a successful transition was entirely dependant on how well rosetta works (it turns out it works well, but that wasn't a given at all), evidenced by how people got burned in the powerpc-x86 transition
Beginning of the end for unregulated centralized exchanges. Possible beginning for DeFi and regulated CEXes. Or possible that regulators fail to distinguish them, and crypto stays flat for some years until a trad banking event revived interest in blockchain.

But really who cares? Smart contracts and stablecoins can continue to work the same no matter market volatility.
You probably can't. This is just a fact of modern life in a society that's polarized along a division of wealth inequality. If you're on the wrong side then you have to get used to never feeling secure. Any single catastrophic event can end your economic security.

You can hedge against it with good insurance, but that doesn't protect you against a lot of externalities (you can't insure against a second great depression for example). The only way to actually resolve it is to become "fuck you money" rich. Very few people manage that.

The best route forwards is to stoicly resolve to enjoy what you have while you have it and accept what life gives when things change. This might be harder than getting fuck you money though.

"Begging the question" to someone with no sense of its etymology just sounds like it should mean "necessitates the asking of a question" or "makes clear a question" as opposed to "attempting to prove something whilst taking its truth for granted".

Crypto exchanges operate on a cold storage concept, how fast they can get their cold storage to their hot wallet is always a mystery

each wallet having many kinds of assets, instead of just a single asset (your local currency), instead of man hours to move those esoteric assets they just need a little transaction fee

there are a lot of ways to improve this operational experience, that this exchange just didn’t do, so even as a joke it relies on perpetuating ignorance to discredit an entire concept

If you have no debt, two years of savings, can afford one parent to stay at home, and work in tech, you are ahead of the overwhelmingly vast majority of people. If this simple fact doesn't make you feel secure, I'd suggest that no amount of money will make you feel secure.

Instead, focus on increasing your employability. If the economy crashed, could you easily get a job? If not, what skills do you need to learn to be in that position?
correct - all our actual investment documents are in English.
slightly unrelated, I've been experimenting with using Lob's mailing API to send in real life ddoss attacks of people's mail services. While this is really expensive, sending roughly 1 million letters/postcards in one batch will set you back ~500k, it will lead the USPS sending a pallet of mail onto the porch of someone you hate. Spread out the sends a bit and you get so many wads of mail that the USPS comes awfully close to just putting you on a do not mail list. Not getting election mail, medicine, important notices, package deliveries, getting marked as undeliverable on their address verification service etc it can become quite annoying.

It was the one feature I never got full buy in when working there, but if anyone has half a mil to spare, you can run some very fun experiments with mail.

All crypto on chain transactions are one leg of a transaction.

When you pay for something, you want the thing you buy to actually arrive, and if that's something off-chain (like real money), you need to trust your counterparty to actually deliver it.

Crypto exchanges also solve the reverse problem: how to trade real money for cryptocurrency. That can't be done on chain.

Exchanges can also cut out blockchain transaction fees and transaction rate limits, and offer all sorts of tempting (but probably fraudulent) financial products.
Yea a helm chart is needed. Did a quick and dirty daemonset for the collector and omnibus deployment for the database + ui and it works pretty good.
On my first try of box-breathing, after roughly 7 minutes of doing the practice I burst into a tearful laughter and couldn't stop. It was an amazing feeling, now I would call it lung-orgasm, but after 1-2 minutes I kinda got scared about it and managed to stop in the end.

I tried to reproduce it after, but it never happened again. Maybe it requires some built-up tension and that day I managed to release it.
Another reason not to depend on CEXes. Real end game for crypto is DeFi and DEXes, not a shady company with a marketing team.
This is easily the best video overview on wavelets I've seen.

I've used wavelet transforms on and off for years for things like image compression, harmonic analysis, and currently brain research, and I've always been somewhat disappointed in the quality of material that's out there explaining how wavelets work and how to use them effectively.

There's a small amount of "abstract math" heavy material but relatively little that's focused on using it for engineering, in contrast to all of the amazing material on Fourier transforms.

It sounds more like you’re asking about an emotional block than actual financial health. Give yourself some credit. A multi-year safety net is far more savings than most people have, and you shouldn’t dismiss that just because you haven’t bought a house. Just remember that there are people who raise families doing all kinds of jobs that earn less and offer less security. Your skills probably won’t evaporate like some JS framework. You were capable of skilling up to get where you are, and if you needed to you could reskill.

Maybe invest some of that pile in a few therapy sessions to see if you’re still living some maladaptive coping strategy that helped protect you when things were thinner. It helped me, anyway.
Take ownership of your own wealth management outside of work, if possible find a good financial planner and see what they have to say.

Invest your money, save your money, live frugally in the meantime.
*coins have an insane transaction cost and it takes a long time, they are not really suited for gambling in this way.

So you get exchanges that just lets you trade without actually sending things on the networks since they are so useless.
You're not wrong, but the root issue is that most of the time the team are not actually full stack devs or they are full stack devs that haven't worked in a team.

There should be no context switch if you're full stack.

The context is the feature you're implementing. It involves backend, frontend and ops, and assuming you're actually full stack there is no 'mental switch' between those, the feature is still the same.

Devs that aren't actually full stack are the ones that require a mental context switch between backend/frontend/ops and this is where the issue is.

My first question to a full stack dev is ask them to outline the steps involved for a feature that requires all of these. The way they will answer and describe the flow will give you all the information if they are actually full stack or a frontend dev with backend experience.

Full stack devs are rare, I'd say to become one requires at least 5 years experience working actual full stack, a position that usually only solo devs get to experience. Solo devs lack the team experience and that's the other part of the problem.

Full stack devs that can work in a team are holy grail territory.

Which is why the most important thing after you find a true full stack dev is to focus on teaching them on how to work in a team.

I recommend David Gerard's book Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain. Then you can ignore the hype and move on with your life. Other than various forms of fraud and financial manipulation no one has found a "real life use case" in a decade and a half. At least no real-life use case that has any clear advantage over traditional databases.

The Te, Ag, and Cu is plenty valuable (especially old high end panels with 50-100g of silver), and developed nations which already have recycling fees that build recycling supply chains and so reduce costs of processing will pay for them. There have already been trials for industrial scale reprocessing of the Si into new panels -- which should give old monocrystalline panels similar value after reprocessing to new due to material reductions offsetting the labour.

It looks like there is some motion towards responsibility though https://www.solarrecycle.org/copy-of-vendors

As long as it's indexed off actual decomissioning costs somehow and not just a wind-tax (and similarly doesn't massively underfund like the nuclear decommisioning levy) I think it's an excellent idea. We shouldn't let utilities get away with shit just because it's not fossil fuels.
