You may be confusing this game with the other recent controversial game, The Day Before, which is a tonal clone of The Last of Us down to the title font. It has obviously bought assets everywhere.
You might be surprised with how far custom elements have come. Lit and even Vue work astonishingly well
This example suffers from the same problem as the other counter examples. Why are you deliberately slowing down the processing to only happen at 2ms intervals? If you have continuous processing the queue will be empty always assuming processing is faster then data production.

You're maybe referring to what the other person mentioned... processing that does not scale with the amount of data processed so you want the processing to operate on the biggest batch of data possible. This is, while a common use case, not common enough that it should be assumed without be mentioned.

However, in your example it seems to be happening on the same computer (you mentioned mic), (and thus not web, which is what's the assumed context here) therefore data production rate doesn't seem to spike. If your processing is faster then data production you don't even need a queue, just stream each frame straight to processing in a single thread. But this also assumes the nature of your processing. The details for the nature of the processing can change things to require a queue for something like the averages of frames at discreet intervals... but that's different from the use case of queues like kafka or zmq for which I think is the main context here.

Edit: I reference other responses here, but you won't see them immediately. I'm currently rate limited and I have those replies in a queue so those will be posted later today.

What you said got me wondering about whether you could fix that by adding some vinegar, which led me to this interesting article: https://www.clemson.edu/extension/food/canning/canning-tips/...

Tl;dr your canned food can get a fungus that eats the vinegar, reducing the acidity, and allowing botulinum to grow.
I understand and agree with the suggestion of putting a CDN, but it's somewhat ironic to suggest the use of Cloudflare when that very same company is advocating for the DRM-for-webpages scheme.

I wouldn't say thanks to information theory, but rather on human tendency to be bored with repeated styles. It doesn't matter how good the tech is, but if it comes out like Michael Bay movies or anything else that we learn to recognize, people are going to want 'more original' art. The other difference is that the point of art is to express and evoke emotions, it's an open question whether that can be done effectively without having feelings during the process.
thanks for trying to help, but I feed like you just described normal investment.

Does Excess liquidity "move" any different than normal liquidity?

My understanding is that the difference is that excess liquidity is excessive because it it is greater than available positive growth investments to lock it up.

Maybe you are right and the movement from sector to sector is simply herd mentality and trend following, but I would intuitively expect that process to reach equilibrium faster
A lot of people advocate for traditional cameras gaining some sort of smart interface to facilitate sharing or some other such features.

What they don't understand is that traditional cameras work extremely well with their dedicated but seemingly outdated interfaces, and moreover, they prevent things like this from happening. Replaceable batteries, replaceable storage, and "primitive" but exceptionally functional firmware makes it so that you can still pick up an 8-year old camera like the Nikon D7200 and produce shots that have the same quality as today's cameras without worrying about it not being supported (because it's essentially a complete product).
The best was the Ted Chiang article making numerous category errors and forest/trees mistakes in arguing that LLMs just store lossy copies of their training data. It was well-written, plausible, and so very incorrect.
Interesting idea, but isn’t there variance in the output? Eg I’ve seen people ask it to “write in the style of x” etc and different people also clearly have different writing styles.
Well, Palantir is a glorified spreadsheet provider whose only selling point is access to a ton of data its clients could not have otherwise. Their sales people are pretty good so, kind of the equivalent of the stereotypical IBM or SAP sales rep.
That's a good measure (average latency) but that's very different from your earlier statement of "heading in the direction of empty".
I anticipated that was what you meant, and believe it would have a horrific outcome. AOL, but run like the DMV.
As soon as an article states you can use “product manager” and “project manager” interchangeably, you can immediately assume the author has no idea what they’re talking about. Convenient this article did that early on, saves everyone a lot of time.

I’d add also that this is really only an issue for some women. Most men I’ve met end up leaving the dance scene once they have a partner - if said partner doesn’t dance.

It’s reflected by polling the crowd. There are way more women in relationships out dancing than there are men out dancing in relationships. Single men dominate the numbers when it comes to dancing.

This is why I don’t really recommend it to most men as a way to meet women. It’s lopsided numbers and it’s hard to stand out in a good way as a beginner - in most dance scenes anyway. That said, if you have a lot of time to kill and are big on learning new skills… it can pan out but it’s a multi-year endeavor that often doesn’t go anywhere.
> At this point if I was an artist I'd probably be looking for a way to leverage my existing skills into AI art, because it seems like drawing skills will go the way of the horse and carriage

Drawing skills were made redundant for producing most types of high quality image before the motor car but people still pay for hand drawn items

Not sure AI lowering the skill barrier for and speeding up the generation of digital art is really going to change that
Fair enough, and I applaud your approach, but IMO there's a time and place, and bedtime wasn't one of those times or places I wanted to get into these kinds of discussions.
Just so you know, if I ever met you at a party I probably secretly resent you and I'm guessing I'm not alone.

The abiotic oil theory says that oil is produced as an intrinsic result of deep earth geothermal processes.

Peak oil theory may have been right about the peak, but wrong about the steepness of the right tail.

Russia has had success with drilling for oil based on the abiotic theory.

In this case I would say very much thriving. This person could easily handle a $5,000 unexpected expense.

When I moved to NYC, I was able to get a very comfortable apartment outside Manhattan but still very convenient to subway lines, and my rent (by far my largest recurring expense) was lower than I had been paying in my first job out of college 7 years earlier. Sure I had a roommate, but 7 years earlier I had was living with my S.O. Why do we automatically assume that a roommate == lower comfort of daily life than living with an SO?

In my case, I was unquestionably more comfortable in my 30s in NYC than in my 20s in the suburbs in a single family home.

You’re just completely wrong about whether we heeded the warnings in the Population Bomb. We are billions of people over the mark he set for total systemic collapse, and living standards are higher than ever.

This isn’t like the ozone hole, where we identified a problem and fixed it. He was just wrong.
I wonder if that would still hold if elections were direct with more than one round, in absence of the Electoral College indirect system. With indirect elections, candidates that risk "rocking the boat" too much can be derailed and filtered out more discreetly, without resort to the extreme methods seen in Russia.

I saw this[1] interview with Sam Altman touching on interim AI impact. I really agree with his point that basically detecting output from LLMs is basically going to be futile and only really relevant in the near term. Accuracy is obviously going to improve in models and detection isnt that difficult now but will be in the future, especially if output is modified or an attempt to obfuscate origin is made.

In many systems you get the reverse. A client sends a retry without the ability to cancel the first request, now it has two requests in the queue.
The lack of one true package management approach is a failure of the language. OP is advocating for a saner default like npm, instead of the current venv + pip mess.
No offense intended, but what this is is a failure of imagination. You assume conditions of a liberal democracy where people engaging in commerce without prejudice. That is still the case most of the time. But suppose you speak out publicly and it is taken the wrong way. If you are content self-censoring, you will probably be fine. But society that has a habit of self-censoring feels free?
You missed the point, which is that there is a difference between the substance of an issue and the combative political campaigns set up around an issue.

The substance is not binary; there is substantial overlap and gray areas. Most things are not zero-sum. But it’s beneficial politically to set up an “us vs them” mentality.

So yes, you’re right that the people are in conflict. But the point is, much of that is artificial.
The viewpoint in the OP is largely backward.

There is always as much liquidity as is required. "Excess liquidity" flows around until it finds somebody where paying off the loan they hold is the 'best use of funds'. That destroys the liquidity, and the loan - shrinking financial balance sheets and freeing up whatever physical asset collateral that loan is secured upon, which then becomes 'equity'.

Increasing base rates is an artificial market intervention that suppresses asset prices. High asset prices, as with everything else priced high, is just a market signal to produce more of that particular asset.

Asset prices rise until the portfolio indifference point is reached - loans created against asset collateral are matched by loans destroyed by received liquidity created by those loans (as the 'best use' of that liquidity).

All fairly straightforward once you accept there isn't a fixed amount of money and that money and bonds are essentially the same thing with different terms and interest rates.
I guess I hate it because I believed marketing term "family sharing" and did not realize it's "family sharing with caveats and significant limitations". With that incorrect belief I bought a number of games for both kids and myself before I realized full impact of these limitations.

What's worse, even with hindsight I'm not sure how a parent should organize 2-3 accounts to allow all what "family sharing" implies. And consider that kid now plays some Mario game but in a year or two would play Wolfenstein, so it's not easy to separate by "my" and "their" games.
I didn't. Ironically, you (or the juniors you're referring to in your original comment) missed the context in the book. You said he presents it as a rule, without explanation or example, but you happened to cherry pick the one paragraph from the 13 pages of Meaningful Names that didn't have an explanation or example.

You're right, the problem is vagueness, and that context is already set a few pages prior. It would be redundant to repeat the same reasoning.
Wasn't it an amendment that Sanders added to Biden's bill, was blocked by Republicans, and then enough Democrats voted for the bill despite the fact that it didn't include Sanders' amendment that should have been part of it from the start?

This is testing on abstracts of medical papers. I wouldn't be surprised if the way abstracts are carefully written and reviewed by > 3 people is very different from normal text, and in some ways more similar to LLM output.
Now there's a name I haven't heard much in the last decades. Before I switched from Windows to MacOS I used their demo editor SciTE as my text editor of choice and was very happy with it.
What leads you to believe those problems won't be solved in the next few years? What stops me from having ChatGPT provide feedback on my prompts to make them more artistic? Maybe I just pay some artist to touch my stuff up for me if they're desperate for work or maybe the output gets good enough that I don't.

It's important to shine a light on the limitations of AI detection software, and this case study on GPTZero does just that. False positives can have serious consequences, particularly in sensitive areas such as healthcare.

China considering providing “lethal support” to aid Russian invasion of Ukraine
I wanted to ask this very question. Since the last update I have struggled to get it to do what I ask. I am really fighting with it, currently, hoping to find a solution, because as it stands, it is not helpful to me at all.
For example, a prompt which I have been using for months that starts along the lines "you will be my bash script advisor" now receives the response "sorry, as a language model I cannot act as a bash script advisor".

I managed to get it to cooperate again by rewording it, but it's answers seem to be ignoring all of my instructions. I explicitly tell it not to use imagined flags and options, and that used to work. Now it's back to just inventing a plausible sounding flag, even though I told it not to.

I just gave it 4 JSON files that I wanted to ask questions about, and it acts like I didn't just give it all the data it needs to answer my question. I solved that by rewording my prompt to include "Make a note of the following data and refer back to it when I ask you questions".

If they are going to change it every month so that I have to rethink all my prompts just to get the answers then it's not worth it. I'm spending more time prompt engineering than I am getting the answers I need.
Haha, I love Tailwind and Tachyons! Writing CSS is still a PITA.
One of the big complaints with LLMs is the confident hallucination of incorrect facts, like software APIs that don’t exist.

But the way I see it, if ChatGPT thinks the Python list object should have a .is_sorted() property, that’s a pretty good indication that maybe it should.

I work in PM (giant company, not Python), and one of these days my self-control will fail me and I will open a bug for “product does not support full API as specified by ChatGPT”.
Can you name some companies that are actively investing in Angular right now besides Google? It feels like React has taken over for many large businesses (non-tech focused) because it's "easier" to hire React devs.

I used to work for a company where our manager (a few steps below CTO) was pushing for us to migrate to React from Vue so they could hire more people to come in and help with feature development. We pushed back and afaik the team is still using Vue today.
Put your WordPress blog behind a caching proxy with a 5s TTL - that way any amount of traffic to a URL will produce at most one hit every 5 seconds to your backend.

I've used this trick to survive surprise spikes of traffic in multiple projects for years.

Doesn't help for applications where your backend needs to be involved in serving every request, but WordPress blogs serving static content are a great example of something where that technique DOES work.

The question is, how likely is it that those can exist without something more centrally organized showing up to fill the power-vacuum?
Not at all. Maybe consciousness is associated with particular physical properties, or a configuration of an electromagnetic field, or some quantum effect. Maybe the IIT guys are right and it depends on physical feedback loops; digital computers actually have little of this sort of feedback, so would have little consciousness regardless of the complexity of their programming.

Or maybe it's computation. But we really have no idea. Any of these would be compatible with materialism, but we haven't made any real progress in even conceptualizing how qualia can emerge from any physical system. Of course that could just be because we haven't figured it out.

Philosophers of mind look at other possibilities too though. One approach is to say each particle has its own fundamental consciousness, and somehow this aggregates in larger complex systems. But nobody's figured out how that might work either. Then there's Kastrup, who argues that the only truly skeptical approach is full-fledged idealism, because qualia are the one thing we directly experience. But even that doesn't imply that anything outside the bounds of physics could possibly occur, so it's not necessarily "supernatural" even if it's not materialism.

Assuming that qualia somehow comes out of a computation, without any sort of explanation, is at least as much a magical leap as anything else.
It's funny that you would call PDS the underdogs, because while Civ still has (some) of its former glory left and so is still a bestseller, the many PDS games are together probably at this point leading in terms of funding and popularity. And almost everyone else is far behind.

To use a metaphor, in the «slow strategy video games» sector, Firaxis/TakeTwo are akin to the creators of Avatar for movies, while PDS/Paradox are Marvel/Disney.

(note, high funding & popular ≠ good)
