Note to all financiers drunk off zero-interest capital: not every new thing has to be jammed into 'unicorn' clothing. Some things can just exist as cottage industries.

I first saw a televised StarCraft competition in South Korea in 2001. That still exists AFAIK. Maybe it can't expand too far beyond that, but at the same time, maybe it shouldn't?

Trying to manufacture celebrity gloss and betting markets around eSports like it's professional field sports is just sad. How many actual fans want to see the industry go that way?
Much of fissions complexity comes from safety/damage management. Even after years of advancements we hear about some incidents and radioactive leaks every other decade.

Jup. Fusion research is necessary and funding should be provided. But it is not close to commercial or generative viability.

So there is at the moment no working design for a generator as a plant that produces more electricity than it takes in.

Minnesota has anticyclones, which are periods lasting over a week with almost no wind.
I disagree. RAM is still a huge bottleneck. Even when there is sufficient bandwidth, latency is a performance killer.

I just spent most of the weekend trying to optimize a hash table lookup which is one of our biggest sources of cache misses (and CPU stalls). The CPI (cycles per instruction) in that function started as 13.9 and I have it down to 7.5 by re-ordering a few fields and cacheline-aligning the struct (so as to have 1 cache miss per iteration, rather than 2). Now I need to figure out what's wrong with the hash function, as the table should be big enough to hold everything without much pointer chasing on average, but I'm seeing we do at least one pointer deref on average before we find the entry we're looking for.
In 2015 on a reality TV show about inventors (Americas Greatest Maker created by Intel and Mark Burnett) I pitched two phones sharing battery power (reverse wireless charging).

In 2018 Huwaeii was the first to introduce into the market via their Mate 20 Pro. Samsung added it a year later in a Galaxy Phone calling it "Wireless PowerShare." Their been rumors Apple will add it too.

I've always wondered if my pitch on that TV show to Mark Burnett(creator of the voice, survivor, shark tank, etc) & Intel was the spark for it all or they'd been working on it prior. I would hope Intel created some patents around it as overall it was just idea I pitched on recorded video for the show to Mark and folks at Intel.

I'm not a mechanical or battery engineer rather a web developer. Would be cool to see if my idea (was at a tech event & phone died yet was surrounded by tons of powered up devices) was the first that sparked reverse wireless charging.
IO is often still the bottleneck. Although the bandwidth is larger, main memory access latency is still high, that's why AMD's 3D cache can enable performance improvement by just providing more cache.
By now everyone knows that Fusion, if we succeed, is going to provide us with abundant clean energy.

But Fusion is not just another way to power your lightbulbs, fusion is a completely new type of energy.

With fusion we can in principle reach 10% of the speed of light which would be revolutionary for space travel.

But even wilder, because it's technically a sun we would over time be able to create basic materials like, Gold, Neon, Sodium, Magnesium, Silicon, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Gallium, Germanium.

It would also mean abundant energy to create synthetic materials that could even replace use of fossil fuels in our materials.

I'm using GNOME 43 right now on Wayland, and it is quite comfy. But this is mainly due to me heavily using extensions and tweaks to better the experience.

I agree that vanilla GNOME just isn't good enough. But especially for Wayland, GNOME is far superior to KDE in terms of stability and glitch-freeness.
> It's not always easy to know what options a player has at a particular position, but it's always pretty obvious whether someone is doing well.

I really need to have at least a basic intuition for "the options a player has" to enjoy watching. As somebody who has never gotten into fighting games, watching one is about as fun as watching election results come in for Dog Catcher of Backwater County. Bars move until somebody wins, but hell if I know why or what was so great about what the winner did. It might as well have been random.

Same goes for a MOBA with 150+ playable champions. Every fight is just a mess of colorful abilities that mean nothing to an outsider. You could watch a 40 minute game and maybe by the end of it understand what the champions do, but then the next one will use new champions. These games can be great fun to play, but they will never have spectator appeal broader than the player community. Which is fine.

I've always found commercial entities to build superior products that open source projects always end up adopting.

One makes the tools, the other assembles them and sells it.

Must be the focus on profits that helps push companies to build products users want, while the love of the craft pushes developers to make the best foundations.
This is the common logic since outsourcing was invented decades ago. Everyone eventually gets hit with the reality that large time zone and cultural differences lead to so much overhead on project management, not getting what you actually asked for, creative ways to game the metrics, and huge rework/bug fixes, that the 2/3 you saved gets eaten up by dealing with all of that, and anything leftover doesn’t pay for the stress of it all.
I work with numerous companies as a part of my job and get to see a lot of their browser windows via screenshare.

Many are MS-only shops, but a large and growing section are hybrid or in some cases Mac-only.

The rise of cloud (ie, OS-independent) solutions has had it's impact: Windows isn't required for the vast populace (MS still takes it's tax via Office365) of business workers.

The next frontier is Chrome as the overlord of the browser realm.
I'm not saying fusion is necessarily the answer. I'm just tired of hearing "solar plus storage is the cheapest option" when the sources always rely on projected costs and a pathetically small amount of storage.

We need a major breakthrough in storage tech to make grid-scale storage a reality. Li-ion batteries are never going to cut it. Who knows whether grid scale storage will come along faster than fusion.
The difference lies in the fact that a really popular spectator sport mostly comes from a game people have already played at some point or could naturally conceive of(e.g. auto racing as an extension of driving, MMA as an extension of street brawls), and therefore don't need explanations for. Although Counter-Strike has a huge legacy among video games, it hasn't entered the school curriculum like baseball/basketball/football AFAIK, and it's only loosely related to a kind of live combat scenario that few people witness in person.

There's a step-function there where if a major educational institution started pushing a video game, it'd have the awareness to be a sport. But they don't, so the path forward is tied to the whims of the market.

It may work out that the 20th century pro sports model is just not going to be part of this. That model came from an era combining fast travel, broadcast media, and a small number of large sponsors. At first it was teams who travelled by rail and had their games casted over radio. Later, jet planes and TV. But nowadays, with the streaming model, it's diffused to being able to watch live speedrun attempts, an activity which can resemble watching paint dry at times, but which does bring in some income within a long-tail niche audience.
It's not a trope; it's a cliché. There's nothing wrong with poking holes in overinflated hype, but do they have to be so boring and repetitive about it.
Esports doesn’t have to mimic traditional sports. My family watches a monthly Minecraft competition together, featuring not the best in the world but participants who are already popular streamers outside that context.

The competition is streamed from the perspectives of the participants, the teams change every month, and there is no prize money. Regardless of all these factors it’s still a fun, competitive event that delivers a good sports watching experience.

It doesn’t have the money or professionalism of major league sports, but for us it entirely doesn’t matter either.
Most likely the "vaccine" is at least partially responsible. Most vaccines take around ten years to develop, most of that time being in testing for adverse events.

Given that no one is actually attempting to monitor this, and that health authorities worldwide have tried their best to destroy the control group this seems like a reasonable assumption to make, or at the very least something that should be investigated. But it isn't. There are a couple of subreddits full of stores about vaccine problems.

I see the only comment in this thread asking about the percentage vaccinated / boosted is marked as [dead]. Why? It's a pretty reasonable question given the way the vaccine rollout has been handled.
Given the timing coincides with rising interest rates, I wonder how much of these investor and sponsor decisions revolve around cutting costs as opposed to any change in esports and their audience.
I think you're missing some context. When the parent comment said:

> if somebody asks an overinflated way-over productivity wage for cleaning toilets because of a supply shortage, this is considered being unethical and "unwilling to do the dirty work, while receiving benefits"...

they were alluding to a particular passage in the article:

> One program participant in his thirties told me that, while on unemployment benefits, he’d been offered a job cleaning toilets at a gas station; he’d decided that he didn’t want “that sort of job,” and had instead found work in the carpentry workshop.

So, I wasn't arguing against unemployment benefits in general. You're right, we pay unemployment benefits, and when we're out of work, we shouldn't feel bad for taking them, so long as we're using them in good faith--as temporary support, intended to tide us over until we can find gainful employment. The guy in the article was not using these services in good faith--he turned down honest work in order to keep his make-work gig (funded by taxpayers).
Why did people back then think it was save and then it exploded? Were they wrong in their assessment back then? Why were they wrong? Are you sure your assesment is correct today? Why is it better than their assessment back then? Are you sure you are not making the same mistakes that they made back then? Oh look, I can ask questions too, because I am a sealion.
Reminds me of solar. That took a century to get to where we are today where the net energy output is much greater than the energy needed to manufacture them.

It being hard and it requiring continual progress does not mean that progress does not occur.
It follows fine, but you want to debate instead of think.

If the 100% MC/DC coverage was critical to forks, the companies that fork (there's lots of them!) would have bought it.

Nobody bought it, so it's not that important to maintaining a fork compared to the regular test suite even for such environments. A test suite which, to go back to my first comment, is still leagues ahead of the dozen other pieces of lynchpin software most companies have no problem depending on.

Meanwhile, for the 99.9% of us out here not building aircraft and merely shipping a billion browsers or phones...

FWIW, Solid has been for some time under consideration for gradually untangling state in this project. Another library I’ve explored is element-behaviors[1], a Solid/custom element-based Entity Component System, which I think could be a good model for the project.

I quite O'Nolan's tone here. It's obviously not a collaboration as you might first expect from the top tweet (and title on HN), but he's quite gracious about it at the same time. It would be quite easy to get frustrated and outraged at Substack, we've seen it happen before. However despite the two, fairly substantial, issues he's pretty gracious about it while poking a bit of fun.

Hopefully Substack do the right thing here and correct those two problems openly. It would only be a good thing for blogging/publishing if they actually contributed back as well.
Aren't the rewards cheap for the company? Advertising costs plus the artists salary?
Right. But if you want to look at 12 months (fair enough) then 50% being dirty electricity generation is nothing to be proud of is it? It's still one of the dirtiest grids in the planet with an average >500gCO2/kWh. And it's average coal production over that time appears to be 21.2GW. So if over a 12 month period then if Germany had retained it's nuclear it would replace MORE than half of it's fossil fuel produced electricity. Even better.
Not sure the case for "older" sport like soccer/football,

But in US, MLB owns baseball. NFL owns American football. What I mean is, they literally own the mechanism of play for these two sports and allow the individual teams to compete in the leagues, which they must make many concessions to be a part of. aA "copy" of MLB can't pop up and play the same exact game, MLB owns every part of it.

IE; your "problem" with competitive gaming infrastructure is exactly how competitive sport is and has succeded. Apples to oranges of course tho

Dinosaurs are gone, all that remains is their bone structures. No complete genomes are recoverable, just maybe a few fragments.

However if you want dinosaur-like creatures, you're basically talking giant flightless birds. So, start with something like an ostritch or a rhea, and use CRISPR to make selective edits aimed at increasing leg size and bone density. This would require a comprehensive understanding of development in these species, of course, and that's probably not there yet. You'd also want to create a fairly diverse source population so the new species wouldn't suffer from inbreeding issues.

Once you got the leg strength and body mass up, it's time to go for big sharp teeth. Increase spine strength and musculature, and then reactive that talpid2 gene with modifications that allow the embryos to survive to adulthood:

https://www.science.org/content/article/mutant-chickens-grow...

Now, would this giant mutant toothed ostrich be a dinosaur? For all intents and purposes, yes. Would doing this be a good idea, would you want these things running around suburban neighborhoods devouring stray cats and terrorizing the local human population? Maybe not.
The problem is that there are many kinds of printers...

The cheap printers are "good enough" now -- there are plenty of brands which do not care about reported ink/toner levels, nor about whether the cartridges are genuine or not. Get one of those, and it is good enough for you home. (As for RMS's specific problem with printers -- "report paper jam status" -- this has been solved long time ago). So what would be your motivation on new firmware for the home printers?

As for large office models, those are definitely more complex and their firmware could be buggy and could use a fix or two. But there are so many models, and each one is so expensive, it is simply unlikely to get enough users to develop an open source firmware. And even if we get open firmware for one of those, how many users will it get?
> Invariance under linear combinations / convex combinations / algebraic operations -> suffices to check basis elements / extreme elements / generators

Linear combinations of a basis (b1, b2, ..., bn) are sums of the form a1*b1 + a1*b2 + ... an*bn using some coefficients (a1, a2, ..., an). Convex combinations add the requirement that a1 + a2 + ... an = 1. Algebraic operations adds other things besides adding and multiplying by coefficients. Anyway, he's saying that if you have a function for which f(a1*b1 + a2*b2) = a1*f(b1) + a2*f(b2), then you only need to know what f does to b1 and b2 and the other basis elements in order to know what it does to anything.

> Multiplicative structure (in analytic number theory) -> suffices to check prime powers

Here he's talking about how (for example) some functions f(ab) = f(a)f(b) (sometimes with the extra condition that `a` and `b` have no factors in common).

For such functions with "multiplicative structure", if you want to know their value at any point, you only need to values at prime powers.
Not even a submarine ad when it literally says SPONSORED BY COMMERCE LAYER at the top!

To that point though - there's no transcript for the podcast. I try to at least describe some technical merit whenever I write a comment like this on HN, perhaps because I would hope that others would do the same if I were to arrange for sponsored content!

But I'm not going to sit through an hour of content and transcribe a quote vs. skimming a transcript to find something cool to highlight. And this isn't even getting into how the lack of a transcript signals how little the brand prioritizes accessibility!

Brands - there's no excuse not to have a machine-initiated human-edited transcript of any corporate podcast when things like OpenAI Whisper exist. Make sure the partners publishing your content are incentivized to do this as well.

Not my hack, but a team effort.
Many years ago, I worked for a premium car manufacturer.
We wanted to present a new product idea to convince visitors from HQ that we had a project worth funding: The core idea was that the car could be opened not only with the normal car key but also by other means, for example from a smartwatch.

Usually we would simply have modified/rewired a car so that a bluetooth connection to open it would work (for the demo only, of course).
However, the keyless entry was designed to be so secure that it would have taken us far too long, even with our insider knowledge.
My team leader had the brilliant idea of simply printing a 3d housing in which the original car key and an arduino-controlled servo could be installed, so that the arduino could press the key.
We placed this device close to the car and remotely controlled the arduino.
The demo worked perfectly and everyone was happy (afaik the project was not funded though).
Blue is officially USB 3.0 - or possibly some knock off junk of course is always a possibility.
You've got some great points here about companies trying to bootstrap esports out of nothing. Ideally, the activeness of the community would determine what games can support professional play; bottom up, not top down.

As for pacing and viewing experience: I'd whittle your list down even further if we're talking about the ideal esport. Most MOBAs are way too visually complex for non-players to understand what's going on. I always thought that fighting games made the most sense for a mass audience. Even if you don't have intimate knowledge of how a particular fighting game works, it's easy for anyone to understand what's going on and parse visually. You can see the entirety of the action instead of having to jump around from player to player. And some fighting games (looking at Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter) are wildly popular already.

Practical language-agnostic example: a database for a business where some VARCHAR(34) columns are IBAN codes and others are messages to be displayed on a 2 by 17 characters LCD screen.

They are two completely different data types that happen to have identical approximate representations but should be distinguished very strictly in a sufficiently expressive model.

For instance, it should be possible to turn an IBAN into a device screen message but not the opposite, but you can't do it if they are all "strings"; and the two types have different value constraints while a generic VARCHAR has none.
