Jesus introduced the fire and brimstones. The old testament does not really have the concept of hell or eternal punishment.
Ugh I’m not.
I made collaborative painting apps, https://hellopaint.io and https://malmal.io (there might be some slight NSFW content). In the best months I made 800€+ in ad revenue from malmal but currently it's a lot less. I think there's potential to make a lot more though, although I'd like to stop showing ads and switch to some more predictable income model. I do have a patreon but it only brings in ~100€ per month. I could promote it more though.
> What wasn't acknowledged was the utility of having imperfect information.

That's an interesting take, and one I haven't heard before. My main squeamishness with bad journalism, and even worse, with chat gpt, is not truth-content, but rather sourcing.

If you know the source, you can account for its biases, or, your reader can do so. As such, well-sourced quotes of complete nonsense tend towards adding to the sum total of truth in the world, because it was true that somebody said it, and their perspective is part of what's interesting in whatever event you're discussing.

If you scrub the data of its sources (like journalists do routinely, and chatgpt does by necessity) important information is lost.

But even the ethical question is straight forward.

> The version implemented in DijkstraSP.java (which allows a vertex to be enqueued more than once) is correct in the presence of negative edge weights (but no negative cycles)

This is a strange parenthetical. No shortest-path algorithm can be correct in the presence of a negative cycle; the concept of "shortest path" does not apply to such a graph.

I don't think ethics involves consciousness either; you can't inspect other people's consciousness, so how can you put ethical weight on it?

You can assume that other people are conscious like you, and so you put ethical value on that. But then you're really putting ethical value on "being like me", irrespective of whether other people are or are not conscious.

I asked a mathematician about what a wacky conclusion it is. He said that whenever you allow infinity, you get results like that. It relies on uncountably-infinite division of an object, which corresponds to no real-world experience anywhere in the universe. Real objects have, you know, atoms.

We use real numbers a lot, but we are careful never to rely on their more extreme properties anywhere it would matter. In practice, in fact, we use floating-point numbers, not reals, when doing actual calculations, and use numerical analysis to stay well clear of nonsensical results. If you tried to rely on BT in a real calculation, you would find a lot of NaNs and Infs.

I feel for you. I've battled self worth feelings through out my career as a lot of my identity was tied up in my work and the fear of failure.

I've since found a new perspective that's helped me transform my identity and self-esteem through therapy and journaling about my experience/thoughts. I still have negative thoughts, but I see them as independent things to observe and not part of my core self.

One of the things I wanted to do was understand who our customer was. They had really no idea. Waivers are all digitalized and ask for the basics: name, date of birth, where you're from, emergency contact. I use a "gender API" to get the gender of the rider the best we can, and from there we have learned a lot about who our typical customer is.

Some fun factoids:

* typical rider is 35-44. Less than 10% of riders are under the age of 24,

* about half of people book when they're in Mexico

* average lead time is 7 days

* about 66% of riders have riding exp; about 33% consider themselves "novice" or "expert" riders

* 45% of riders are male, 55% are female

* 1 rider reported they are from Antartica

> Home computers in the early 80s were certainly capable of providing responsive full screen editing

Not exactly. Home computers leveraged televisions; often by generating radio signals (as opposed to direct video input).

The quality was awful. You couldn't rely on the screen to do much better than 320 X 240.

Also, in those days, most of us used 300-baud VT100 terminals, which were VGA (640 X 480). Not much room for chrome, and long text and fancy layout was painful.

The displays were ASCII-driven. Basically the precursor to Emacs/Vi.

Also, as was pointed out in another comment, Structured Programming was still in the future. If you were lucky, you had GOTO.

Line numbers didn't use up characters. They could be inferred. Memory was not cheap. It was also very limited. Every character (including comments), used up memory, and impacted performance. Variables had names like A1, A2, etc.

It was real fun, reading legacy code...

Note that you can also use the ranch business cards as 'get out of jail cards' to avoid social chatter when you need to change the subject: You note that the in-law starts taking the discussion towards some uncomfortable topic during thanksgiving dinner. You immediately use the card: "Say, have I given you my business card?" - and then you move on to talk about the ranch. Even if they interrupt you and try to get back to the topic, the topic will be derailed for good. Usable every 6 months by pretending that you forgot that you already gave them your business card...
On Apple II computers you did have a screen editor of sorts. You listed the line you wanted to edit, you pressed ESC and you could move your cursor up to the line you wanted to change and overwrite it.

I'm reminded partial unemployment is a thing. Perhaps the law should be changed to reward companies for keeping workers on during downturns and ratfuck the ones that lay people off.

It's not because they wanted to, I guarantee it. It's because it's impossible to not do it. Critically important details, down to the engine's frame timing, how replication is deeply integrated into the engine, and how the default Actor movement code works means you have to not gut just a single implementation detail, but you have to cut whole swaths of code out of use.

I'm dying to be proven wrong, but the intersection of people who know multiplayer networking well, Unreal Engine 4 or 5, and have successfully implemented client-side prediction with reconciliation and rollback in said software and out of it as well, are vanishingly small.

I failed to understand how one could use the existing engine's loop which is variable framerate, the existing replication system, which favors an implementation opaque RPC system over explicit payload structures, and rewrite Actor movement and engine timing subsystems without having a parallel network loop that uses none of the above.

My guess is that it is possible to use Unreal's variable framerate and replication system, but only rewrite Actor movement implementation details by creating a class that inherits from it and overrides the behavior entirely, but you're still stuck with the fact that because the Unreal Engine uses a variable framerate, you have an inconsistent rollback timeline across every client.

You want consistent frame times, in my experience, to have rollback. Does it mean that it's impossible otherwise? No, but you can get caught rolling back in-between game states that don't actually exist on the granularity of the timestep you're running at.
I’m on the floor (laughing).

Most computer labs had punch card stations and paper terminals when BASIC was created.

You often used LIST to see your program and edited it by adding, removing, replacing line numbers.

Later on DEC terminals we had an editor named TECO that allowed you to do search and replace, inserts, and other line-oriented changes. I’d have my school programs memorized so I could type commands without a list.

Video terminals (and PCs) became common in the mid 80’s. Screen editors were still slow on video terminals (connected to shared runtime systems), but awesome on PCs.

Its based on solid research - test groups that hum in the specific frequency were found to have increased their nitric oxide production a dozen or more times. Whereas control groups and groups that did the meditation in another frequency either did not produce any different amount or comparably low amounts.

>For one thing, a /64 issued to a house is a pretty daunting search space for the scanning worms of yesterday.

Eh...

-----

We have outlined a number of techniques that scanning worms can use in
an IPv6 Internet to locate potential targets. These techniques are equally
applicable to the current IPv4 Internet, albeit not as efficient as random
scanning. Although “conventional” address-space scanning is prohibitively
expensive in that environment, we believe that the diversity of sources we
discussed (which is by no means exhaustive) guarantees a rich target set
for worms.

>Finally, having remote desktop shouldn't be a problem if people don't know your password, no? It's not like there is a firewall stopping baddies from guessing your Gmail password.

That actually begs an interesting point. IPv4 allows for services to block use IP profiling to limit an attacker's attempts to brute-force / semi-brute-force a password or other attacks like a DDoS. What would be IT / Security processionals response when an attacker can just jump to another IPv6 address and resume the attack?

Full screen editing also requires much more RAM. Late 70s and early 80s computers might have had 4 KB - 32 KB RAM. With such limited system, it is hard to host a full screen editor or any advanced compiler with jump labels.

Let's compare to Visa [1]:

> According to VISA corporate responsibility and sustainability report in 2017, the company consumed a total amount of 680,560 GigaJoules of energy globally for all its operations (1). We also know VISA processed 111.2 billion transactions in 2017 (2). Rely on these numbers, VISA ECPT is 0.0017 kilowatt-hours and for simplification 100,000 VISA transactions consume 170 kWh.

680,000 GJ is roughly 190GWh (0.1%).

But it gets worse. In 2017 Visa executed ~111B transactions. Bitcoin peaks at about ~90M. So 1000x the energy for 1/1000 of the transaction volume. So each Bitcoin transaction uses ~1,000,000 times the energy of a Visa transaction.

So current LLMs probably wouldn't work for RPGs with fixed stories, but they could add some flavor to a purely open-world game.

Also, one could easily imagine giving an LLM a memory and instructing it "when a player talks to you, try to work in the following information" or something like that.
