If you want something new and good, I don't think that you should be looking at franchises. Especially not these days when devs are not stuck with boxed releases, so are able to release early and keep polishing and extending the same game for more than a decade.

And I'm going to have to disagree about "not as good as we used to get". Is there any question that Zero-K/Spring (or BAR/Spring) aren't way better than Total Annihilation (ok, maybe not for the orchestral score), despite being entirely community-made ?

> If there's a reason someone can't get vaccinated, like an allergy, I'd consider it a moral obligation for the prospective employer to take that into account.

It depends on the job. If someone can't get vaccinated; and they also want to work with other medically vulnerable people; then they're in the same position as someone who is legally blind and wants to drive a taxi-cab. i.e. While they may want to do it, and it might hurt their feelings to deny them this, it is inadvisable to everyone involved for them to make the attempt. A virus doesn't see our reasons, it just sees warm unvaccinated hosts.
> New York City is one of the safest cities in the country per capita. But as with “cleanliness” is usually trotted out in a dog whistly kind of way

Having lived in other big cities that manage to collect garbage in containers, NYC's continued practice of dumping uncontained garbage on the sidewalk for collection gives it a very real non-dog-whistly feeling(/sight/odor) of dirtyness.
Huge step for ML in Elixir! Looking forward to using this and seeing what others do as well.
Python Linter Comparison 2022: Pylint vs. Pyflakes vs. Flake8 vs. Autopep8
You have a 1/100000 chance of a usually minor condition. Some have a 1/10 chance of dying from COVID.

It's your right to avoid the vaccine. It's also moral to prevent you from mixing with the elderly.
I assumed that was the joke? If they're finding the location based on the stars in the image, you'd need to strip out the actual image data (not metadata) to prevent that.
> they will move their money if Google doesn't do what they say - namely cut costs etc...

Why would Google care? This fund owns Google stock; it isn't giving money to Google, it gave money to whoever it bought that stock from.

Selling a fraction of a percent of the total in the market might move the stock price a little, but probably not much.

'Moving their money' just means transferring that stock to someone else who may have more faith in the company's strategy.
The sooner the better. Would you prefer stage one cancer or stage four cancer?

Robo advisors don't model interest rates at all. They essentially just estimate volatility of asset classes and do a round of Markowitz Portfolio optimization; they are easy to build (it takes a few days only). There is very little smarts behind them.

They exist because in the past, private banks wealth management would charge customers 2% of assets per year for running the optimizer once a month (which made sense in the 1970s when only banks had computers big enough to do it).
Also most of the married people, I'd say!
I was intimidated by the quality of HN comments when I came over from reddit 4 years ago. Now I like sharing opinions and the occasional back and forth.
I have honestly been more excited about Wasm for desktop than I am for the web. And I'm really excited about it for the Web. Really cool to see this use case pop up right as I'm trying to integrate it into my stack!
This is correct. The brightness of the stars made them a bit difficult to identify by eye, I'm sure someone more familiar with sky charts could have done it. The constellations helped me align the sky on Stellarium (from their angles) and the north star helped me find the approximate latitude by using the angle from the horizon.
It should not be too hard! From what I saw Whisper is similar to Bart, and we have Bart. The missing piece is a library for audio processing to tensors.
What's reliable about it?

Cron requires manual locking, which results in an old service sometimes aborting without cleaning that up, and then refusing to start ever since.

I'm precisely in the middle of an update that's going to throw that out, and just change to a systemd service/timer. Then that problem will go away for good.
More importantly, you don't have to worry about fat-fingering an entry in your crontab and having everything from that point onward silently fail.
Ahem, not to be that person… but I think you mean Admiral Kirk :) Either way, it’s a perfect reference.
It's kind of unsubstantiatable, but I think capitalism is fundamentally a poor fit for "high quality art".

The gaming industry is experiencing the same hyper-commercialization that the movie industry has experienced.

You can argue that the super hero movies of today and the remakes are "better" than older movies on the best objective metric we have (how much revenue they generate), and that we're in "the best era of film of all time" right now, but... I don't know who truly believes that, subjectively. :p It feels wild to believe that. I certainly don't, and I don't for gaming either.

Funny story: I got Doom Eternal about a year after it came out. I needed to make an account, even though I only play singleplayer. When first opening it, I got bombarded by pop-ups from a dozen DLC and update cycles, like a little history of its updates thus far. I cringed at the social media-like network integration stuff in the main menu. I play for a few days. On like the fourth day, when opening the game, this pop-up appears in-game, but it's empty. It's like some network notice, but it's broken. The pop-up is blank. There's no way to get past it. Nothing helps. The game essentially bricked itself via its own botnet bloatware (a thing an older game would never do). Apparently, it happens to console and PC users alike, and there was no solution around it. It's as if it accidentally ripped you, the user, off, in that a digital product just stopped working. (Let's not even mention the plight of future gamers trying to simulate the always-online DRM so they can play it in an emulator. Hey--at least Bethesda removed the kernel-level anticheat following backlash, allowing the game to run on Linux again!) Luckily, even though I was past the usual playtime limit, Steam gave me a full refund. :D

Also, Diablo Immortal is probably more profitable than all the previous Diablo games put together, and I'll leave it to you to decide if that's a case where profitability or even popularity maps with whatever we truly mean by "quality".

The parent is suggesting that this is simply a sensible business move and the pressure is irrelevant.
It was due to an executive order, so I don't know how much more 'by the state' you can get.

Just because you didn't see it happen doesn't mean it didn't happen. I saw it happen, and I saw it happen to a lot of people at lot of different companies.
And yet NVidia have the only graphics cards with working 3D acceleration and GPU compute capabilities.
I used to feel this way but have since realized that it is a WEIRD (western, educated, industrialized, democratic) perspective. For the majority of human history, we needed our birth community in a very direct way simply to eat, keep ourselves housed, find a mate, etc. Many of those needs can now be taken care of by the market but IMO it pays to be careful about committing completely to such a course.
How about "I'm not taking some experimental rushed bullshit by large pharma corps who have a solid track record of doing shady shit"?

Because the actual human beings that I talk to face to face have this opinion, and not the crazy 5g nanobots nonsense the social media companies and journalists make sure you see that paints your fellow countrymen in some deranged light.
> You get that the hospitals were being overrun by people dying of covid, right?

When I looked up the (official) statistics for my country, Germany, for the peak period in 2021, the percentage of covid cases in hospitals was about 5%. The news at that time made it seem as if it were 95%.
Well, this might be a valid reason, especially given that embedded is important for Zig’s target domain. (Though, is there all that many new architectures nowadays?)

Thank you!

What does an optimization algorithm have to do with a brute force search?

Even if your image patch is small, without previous images to compare, you need to brute force the entire sky?

And how can "fft trickery" reduce the attitude state to 1 unknown ? 1 unknown with what units ?

Sorry but I suspect you are making all these up.
Just watched the documentary on netflix.
It’s sad to me that it is very one-sided especially on the chemicals/pesticides. Farmers don’t use pesticides just for fun - it’s more of economic security to reduce risk - sometimes you are more or less forced to.

The point is that desertification is they thing to talk about and find incentives and ways to create that awareness.

My last personal opinion: I truly believe that GMO might be the least of all evil - covering our soils and reduce the need for pesticides…
I disagree, if you have a vested interested you're likely to cheat, not every kind of cheating is visible in a paper.

If you e.g. pump out 100 studies and then make a perfect reasoning on the 1 study which had significant results in your favor, then what you did wrong can't be seen in the one paper you published.

As long as the studies aren't preregistered, you have to discount those with vested interests.
It’s a chatbot that is confidently wrong half the time. Perhaps a minor improvement over gpt3. Not suitable for any serious activities. But sure, it deserves a footnote in future AI history books.

It’s odd, but actually you can not restart an active unit with a timer
Has Google/Alphabet publicly released any of their AI models yet? I’ve seen plenty of hype surrounding Imagen [1] and Parti [2], but as far as I know, they’re still vaporware.

Normally I wouldn’t think too hard about this, but two things come to mind here:

Firstly, the speed at which competitors are launching and developing new AI models. Imagen/Parti both seem to rival Stable Diffusion and DALL-E… why can’t we use them yet?

Secondly (and perhaps this is clouding my judgment), the fact a Midjourney founder mentioned during an Office Hours session that [paraphrasing]: “it’s widely known in the industry that 90% of AI research is completely made-up garbage”…

TIPS yield are real yields (already adjusted for inflation) while T-Notes aren't so they aren't really comparable. In essence you are getting 1.5% on top of inflation.
It's also affecting some cities, such as Chicago. Wacker Drive is an example of this.

It turns out that core infrastructure should be built to be inexpensive to maintain, and density helps greatly with that goal.
I know they used asbestos to filter beer in 20th century. Was considered safe, since it didn't get in contact with air. Obviously abandoned practice nowerdays.
> Honestly, sounds like old Java would also fit their requirements.

Yes, it would, as would any other VM target. That said WASM is extremely convenient because it's a target that LLVM supports and because writing a VM for it (or something that compiles it to C) is easy. Java from this perspective seems way less convenient, as it would require us first to build a Zig backend for it, and then we would have to implement our own java intrepreter / aot compiler / ... for it.
From a programmers perspective, I just don't see how AI will make us run out of work. You can always just step up one layer of abstraction and have a whole new field of work available to you.
Nothing wrong with that, I wish I did too
> the author of the study is an employee of Cura

That's quite a misleading characterization. There were twelve authors, and only one works for Cura.[1] The others are mostly researchers at Uppsala University, and the article notes that "none of the remaining authors declare any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest, nor were they paid by Cura of Sweden for conducting the present experiment."

The research was funded by the Swedish Brain Research Foundation and the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

[1] And they're the eighth author in a non-alphabetized list, so probably a minor contributor and not the principal investigator.
Check out frontal head restraint systems. In combination with a good harness they eliminate the C-spine concern, at the cost of reducing your field of regard a bit. If they can figure out the mobility piece, I’d happily drive with one on the street over air bags.
We do have systemd-boot!

And it's not half-bad, I think, because GRUB2 is just way, way more complicated than most setups need these days.
Interesting. In Colombia Waze prefers safer roads and highways, whereas Google Maps has sent me down incredibly dangerous mountain paths.
The fact that you even asked this question speaks volumes.

Vaccines provide herd immunity. It’s not like bullet proof armour that only protects the wearer! We all need to get it for the population to be protected.

You getting more sick because you’re unvaccinated means you spread it to others. Babies. The elderly. The immune compromised. And so on.

What I don't understand is how it's possible to be two years into a pandemic, and people are still ignorant of this.

Especially now that measles is spreading again because the vaccination rate has dropped below the herd immunity level.
Options strike price is determined by 409A valuation (if there is no secondary market) for common stock, not the preferred stock price that VCs get. Common stock is typically valued at 1/3 of preferred stock.

There is a project in the ecosystem that builds on top of MLIR and can target any MLIR dialect, but it is not mature enough yet.

I think it would be great to see!
What? We can't do 5+1 everywhere because first we need to litter every last bit of countryside with failed sprawling towns that were swallowed by their own maintenance costs?

That doesn't seem workable.
Your argument is that laws are useless because somebody would still ignore them.

But laws are often a deterrent to undesirable conduct. Even if some bad actors could just ignore them, they know that there are consequences for doing this.

In such delicate issue as what is acceptable to do with a human corpse, a whitelist approach (only what is in this list is allowed) is much more reasonable than a blacklist approach (everything that is not in this list is allowed). People have the right to decide personally what can or can't be done with their corpses. Respecting their last wishes is necessary for keeping a high standard of human dignity in the hospitals. This means that can't be done by default.
I can't count the times I've had to debug cron scripts by copying the cron command line and running it through sudo because the script ran into an edge case, only to find out I didn't have the exact cron environment so manual runs didn't trigger the bug.

I much prefer the systemd solution. As an added bonus, systemd services allow for easy configuration of things like sandboxes and resource limits that would need to be hacked into a giant concatenated command line in cron, presumably without comments even.
Yes, I considered it
You just have to densify existing towns and smaller cities, and go back to something more like the traditional model of small-scale urbanization. Density is more efficient than suburban sprawl.
I don't think conflating childhood vaccines with the Covid vaccines is fair, to be honest.
> low-level =/= poor abstractions

They might have good language abstractions, but manual memory management is simply an orthogonal implementation detail to solving a problem — dealing with that is simply more work and more leaky abstractions.
As another datapoint, it's able to perform base64 encode of arbitrary input with some errors, like 90% correct. I told it to respond with the base64 representation of its entire previous response, and the decode of the base64 it responded with contained typos. Still, very cool and impressive.
Perhaps, it's unclear to me what that would look like though. How would Activision bill Microsoft for N users playing M games? I think they would want $N*M*MSRP (perhaps * <small-bulk-discount>) for that. Which probably isn't viable for Microsoft to bootstrap their platform. Indeed, would Activision even cut a deal here? In some sense Microsoft's Game Pass is a direct competitor to them selling individual game SKUs, so why would they strengthen Microsoft's strategic position with a licensing deal?

Whereas if Microsoft has a large library of first-party titles, they can take a loss on unit sales to grow the platform. At some point if they are successful they hope to get to a size where other AAA third-party publishers like Activision are willing to sign a licensing deal like "Microsoft agrees to pay $Xm / year for unlimited streaming of the CoD franchise".

But it's not obvious to me that there's a viable path to getting Activision content on their streaming platform. (It's not available on GeForce Now, for example). Anyway, on this licensing point I'm not an expert, so I'm interested in others' thoughts here. Particularly what the current licenses for existing GeForce Now / Game Pass games look like.
"Asbestos Cigarettes’ Related Diseases... Crocidolite asbestos in Kent Micronite cigarettes is known to cause the following diseases: Lung cancer, Mesothelioma, Laryngeal cancer, Ovarian cancer, Asbestosis."

Recent studies have linked asbestos exposure to an increased risk of ovarian cancer, particularly among people who used asbestos-contaminated talcum powder. However, if you're getting ovarian cancer from these cigarettes, chances are you're smoking them wrong.
This was something that surprised me after I did my PhD as well. I thought that employers would focus on my specialized skills and "someone else" would somehow pick up the pieces and make something out of what I did. Turns out this is completely wrong, and I now see how frustrating it is to work with people that have this kind of attitude.

Most of most jobs is a bunch of mundane stuff. I've seen it in software development, and I've seen it in management consulting. The best people, typically, are those that will happily do both, understanding that the fun stuff comes with a lot of baggage.

The "someone else is better at the stuff I don't want to do than me" argument rarely holds up either. The friction that comes from dividing the work along lines like modeling and production and trying to hand off is rarely worth it when one person can do both.

Anyway, I've been where the author is, but personally I think it's wishful thinking, unless maybe you want to start your own shop and structure it around yourself that way.

That seems quite similar to allowing developers to SSH into a development server. That option is highly mature, allows users to use a variety of tools, and is not very expensive. How does your product improve on that?
Were the thousands of websites using Twitter's advertising pixel not a problem before Elon Musk bought the company? Really weird how these things that have been happening for years are all of the sudden a problem because of new ownership.
Yes, Einstein himself directly addressed the myth, noting he'd mastered calculus by about 12.

It is probably true that he was not the mathematician that many other theoretical physicists are. How would you compare him with von Neumann?

But that's a different thing than the common myth that he was bad at math!
Elective plastic surgery is hardly inexpensive in the U.S., or representative of healthcare in general. I don't know why you're so hung up on price transparency, it simply isn't the silver bullet you think it is for reasons repeated throughout this thread.
I feel like relationship to family isn't as big of a limiter these days. I'm pretty close with my family and do miss them (they being on the other side of the world), but being able to video call them essentially whenever our waking times line up takes care of a lot of the issues. As a result of which I can still share any problems I have and get advice or similarly help them in dealing with their problems.

The few years my siblings spent half the world away from us prior to the proliferation of smartphones (and thus the ability for video calls to just happen whenever instead of being specifically organized) did seem to strongly weaken their relationship with the rest of the family though. They seemed to feel abandoned due to essentially having to grow up on their own (ie finish up college and start working) due to not being able to as easily share their issues.
That's pretty normal communication from investors. Everyone cuts costs, so some of yours will see a chance to make you do the same. I would be very surprised if Sundar loses sleep over this pdf.

Little Rock AFB is a few tens of km north (34.9 deg lat) for what it's worth. There may be some others as well. The chances of getting a picture of the stars that clear in Arkansas is way lower than in the Mojave however...
The idea of a risk management strategy that involves depending on people to not fuck up is plainly laughable.

Mozilla created a precursor technology, but I thought Wasm was developed via the W3C standards process from the start. From the notes of the first meeting, you can see attendees from Adobe, Apple, Arm, Autodesk, Google, Intel, Mozilla, Stanford, and more.

Additionally, Wasm has been a W3C standard since 2019.
Useful Python Libraries You Should Use in Your Next Project
i had something similar happen but with chatgpt (idk if that uses the same model?)

i tried to get it to write a web scraper but the code wasn't very good. so i fed it the html and told it to write some code that outputs the results in a certain way. the code was still not good. then i input some code that i had already written to do this exact task, including a print statement at the end. then i asked it for the results of the print statement. it printed the right information and the original structure i told it.

it was wild. at first i thought that i had somehow made it run code then i realized that it was able to logically produce the result, kinda like how i can read code and surmise the outcome. maybe? i have no idea.

unfortunately i closed out the session and forgot what exactly i had said to do this, because i tried to keep doing it again but it told me that it couldn't run code.
Why isn't the timer stuff just an optional [Timer] in a unit file? Then it would be separate (separate section), even if it's in the same file.
If you value equity in any non public company at $0 as I do and it’s true that only half the compensation was in cash, the $185K is far less than a mid range engineer at any FAANG
Yep, that's what I do and that's what I'd say most people should do.
But LLVM is written in C++ so “should be fast” based on language choice only.

Didn’t know about that backend though, will check it out, thanks!
