How many completed games have you shipped with your custom netcode and engine?
First time I hear about it, but just checked it out - seems pretty cool, but you still need to feed some model into it right? Many examples seem to use OpenAI.

I see a bunch of apps using LLMs popping out like mushrooms in a forest, but how do you fine-tune it for your dataset? The biggest (GPT-3 davinci) model on OpenAI is not available for fine-tuning.
I use both, I have a cast iron, a carbon steel, and a non-stick.

The truth is that the non-stick is the most non-stick of the bunch when compared across all things you could cook in a pan. Sometimes I just want to reheat my pasta quickly and uses a quick splash of water and a paper towel to totally clean the pan.

I am a total nazi though about making sure metal never touches the non-stick. It always gets cleaned and put away in its special spot immediately after using it.

I don't think it's reasonable to blacklist the most popular VCS website used among developers. It's a competition for devs, they _should_ be using version control.

All it would take is a cursory glance by another dev to know if they used templating or not, which I would consider baseline for a developer contest.

The article says their teacher just seen it was on GitHub and disqualified them off the bat. Unreasonable imo
They protest all-ages drag shows because they view being transgender and other forms of gender-non-conformance as inherently deviant and perverted. They focus on all-ages drag shows so they can run a "think of the children" angle to get unwarranted sympathy. They absolutely oppose adults-only drag shows too.

Don't worry, I'm agreeing with you — I chose to use the example of shapes of runes as something unambiguously on the "learned" side, not as something close to the dividing line :)

> Socially taboo behaviors were used as a baseline as there are things that people will not tell each other but will tell a search engine.

That's piqued my curiosity. While on the basis of past experience I may regret asking… do you have a link to any results of this research?
I was curious about the statement in the README:

>"Until now, I have not been able to find a MINIX 3 project that allows you to compile the code that is referenced in the book Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (3e) (v3.1.0)."

For such a well-known and longstanding project I was surprised to read this. Are the sources available at https://git.minix3.org just too old or is this more to do with the book?
It'll be interesting to see what the unintended consequences of this big, sweeping gesture will be in the next few years.
Yeah, I think they're a huge advance for people who are already used to stabbing themselves. But they're still invasive in the sense that they have to keep the probe inside your body for 2 weeks. If Apple can nail the light-through-the-skin approach, the audience size jumps by 1-2 orders of magnitude.
Isn't that because of the Pyrenees, a rather large mountain range in the way?
I guess the important features are:

1. Graphics. Emacs is a graphical application, even if many people forget this sometimes. I like to link to the Emacs Tour: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/

2. Access to the entire filesystem and operating system, free from the Termux sandbox.
If you have time, I'd deeply recommend learning Bash. It's a native shell on any *nix system, including MacOS, so it's much more ergonomic to work with, once you get into it.

This is a book that gives a gentle, yet thorough introduction to the topic: https://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/Bash-Beginners-Gui...

Of course, every tool has its context and tradeoffs. I've learned PowerShell after working with Windows administration, and it's good. Bash has a lot of shortcomings on Windows (CRLF, 0777 permissions, apt not working on my machine for some reason, etc.), so I use PowerShell. But on MacOS, I'd definitely recommend a native *nix shell.
> Caution aside, speculatively this could mean that the serious issue of PFAS contamination in American water supplies made the pandemic worse than it would have been otherwise.

There's no evidence to support that link - what is provable though is the fierce opposition of the GQP, the far-right and conspiracy preachers to mask mandates and even stuff as basic as vaccines.
Since it seems many of these chemicals takes hundreds if not thousands of years to break down, I think it's safe to say that the benefits of making them illegal outweighs the costs.
Things could certainly be better, but it is a but disingenuous to give the pure flight time of 1:15, when we all know that flying has quite a bit of time requirements on both ends. Not enough to bring it to 15.5 hours, but still easily enough to triple the trip time.
> The statistics for long term ie 10+ year weight loss are abysmal

Great - now do cigarettes. If you'd prefer to skip the math though, the CDC states "Fewer than one in ten adult cigarette smokers succeed in quitting each year".

I don't think it's completely unfair to compare quitting smoking with weight loss.

Theoretically everything is possible with a NAND gate, so the question is badly formulated from the beginning. There is a sibling comment from @jlokier who did a gread job of providing a sane summary, and not just some incoherent rambling like I did.
How does that square with the algorithms used to render the 3D models humans construct and rig?

I think the "rendering" analogy is quite apt once you're past the point of initial generation and off to painting, editing, and roundtripping. And it might not even need to be taken that far... could an argument be made that this technology is simply a rendering engine for text?
As a very rough rule of thumb for these multiplayer games, MAU is about 100x concurrent players.
This is fairly correct from my perspective. I think what's very neat about our current location in spacetime is that places and communities now transcend physical location. It's possible to be in a community or collective that has all of these properties while being physically nested in countless communities which do not. At least, for some definition of internet access.

At this point it doesn't feel like there is much going on in Silicon Valley that warrants physical presence, though I recognize it's a controversial topic. At least for me, Silicon Valley has ascended and now lives in the ether. I left long ago but I'm still in Silicon Valley every day.

In addition to the things you have noted, society will need to define a set of effective sanctions against those who deploy and manage these campaigns. The sanctions will need to be globally enforceable and strong enough to discourage even the wealthiest individual or group.

There should be no opportunity for anyone to escape sanctions using money, influence, physical distance, jurisdictional advantage, etc. When they are discovered and proven to be involved there should be no place for them to hide and no assets safe from seizure. Anyone assisting them in attempting to escape sanctions should also be sanctioned accordingly.

"And it basically has to be paid for at a fair rate by you, otherwise there will always be an incentive for someone to manipulate it against you."

You're right, but if it is really good at this sort of thing it's going to be difficult to incentivize anyone with more money than they can get from manipulating you. There's a crapton of money and power in this.

There is also some protection in that I don't care why most of my contacts would send me a link to buy something, it's going to be out of place. An AI can match me or my wife's internal communication style but there's basically no amount of style matching it can do to make me buy cryptocurrency, or send 10 $500 gift cards somewhere. Honestly current spam already takes a decent run at it through plain ol' human evolution anyhow, and phishing/smishing already has a non-trivial hit rate. The space of such messages is already small enough that humans can blindly hit reasonably well.

Yes absolutely, it'll be 5+ years before anything like this is remotely conceivable. But I'll be working on it! When it does become possible then I'll be there immediately.
I wonder if there's a more formalised system of thought that amounts to 'only use what technology you actually need to achieve a goal' or 'use the lowest-tech solution that reasonably meets your needs'? Not exactly outright Luddism but a general reduction in eagerness to adopt new stuff unless you absolutely need to. I guess HN of all places isn't really the natural home for such a philosophy!

The idea that a state government can seize land-use decision-making power from local communities is anti-democratic and grossly immoral.
It is just a non-legally binding pinky promise.

I advise you to not give much importance to it.

Money and power corrupt everything they touch.

oh man, this was part of my intro to operating systems programming (not that I have a clue what I'm doing) in school 13 years ago. a month or two of "os" work in a simulated kernel on the JVM, and then in the last 3 or 4 weeks the professor hit me with "here's minix, play with some these changes for homework", and then the final exam was "make these changes to the filesystem module".

Worst I ever did in a CS class. I did not deserve whatever grade he gave me, but I was the only person that stuck it out and didn't drop the class.
Holy cow. They did say that.

We're doomed. If this is how we introduce kids to tech, we can guarantee they bail and do something more intellectually rewarding, like Business Admin or Sales /s

For real though, a similar thing nearly happened to me. over a decade ago I took a community college class CS101 - and it was taught by a guy with no knowledge and no investment (and they got you started with Java, of all things). Totally killed my interest. Fast forward to three years ago and I was lucky enough to find my way into the field through self-study, but quite nearly gave up on the whole thing forever because of a pug-ugly initial experience. And this was way after high school.
Pro tip, you (some percentage of you) can (for some definition of can) lose weight for free (your mileage may vary) with no drugs at all.

The fact that these drugs exist and work demonstrates the hormonal link that decades of research has shown is there.

Also, the prices of healthy food is much higher than the prices of unhealthy food thanks to subsidies and scale. But that's secondary to the fact that many people actually can't just "eat less" the way others can.
I disagree.
It bans templating engines and gives some examples of sites but I do not believe those are 100% inclusive examples.

Microsoft also has some web template code. Should that disqualify all use of any Microsoft product?
The grandparents point is excellent. I never thought of it that way but it was / is certainly true for me.

I doubt this applies to cities that adopted their housing elements by the Jan 31 deadline and submitted them as revisions that are still pending review by the HCD.

I'm sure some of those will still eventually be judged out of compliance and builder's remedy may stand, but for now they're just pending review.

The cities that are likely to actually be subjected to builder's remedy (which will be challenged in court, which might cause delays for any developers trying to use it, but is still a useful bargaining chip) are those marked as "NEW CYCLE". Those cities did not prepare any housing permitting plan submission to the HCD at all by the deadline.
If the local communities are completely incapable of even a modicum of good governance, what choice is there?
Yes, but your original comment talks about a concentration of 6 ng/mL in human blood, while the researchers only point out the concentration of the surrounding medium. Perhaps I'm missing something, but you can't compare these two values since you didn't measure the actual concentration of PFAS in the blood stream of the larvae. For all we know it could be lower than 6 ng/mL, right?
I did notice the same pattern: best people I worked with either don't write at all or write very little. Probably because, despite having better thoughts, smart people also have a much higher threshold for releasing their thoughts into the wild. And people who write a lot often tend to be talkers and not doers (there are exceptions of course, but they are incredibly rare).

You'd think that the most truthful content is going to win the public. But the reality is that the most viral content wins. A lot of software development "best practices" are popular not because they are producing value (their value is often negative), but because they make us feel good.

Very similar to religions, it's not necessarily the most utilitarian religions that are dominating the world. It's the most viral ones.
Build housing with 20% low-income set asides or take your chances with environmental review. I think the intention is you can't shortcut all the bureaucratic bullshit with this neat trick.
If you do go ahead with this, I'd be willing to act as a judge and help out generally with advice. My contact details are in my profile.
You're putting it mildly.

Hey kids (and everyone else) if you're even remotely familiar with tech and you don't stay completely siloed in one space - very extremely frequently you will encounter people "above you" in the chain who are comparatively complete idiots re tech.

You will have to think carefully about how to proceed when you discover this, it's going to be a constant and consistent question of -- "at this stage, is it worth it for me to press this?"

Try not to get discouraged.
> And what would your different shell do with a command that just returned plain text

It would give me tools like sed/grep/awk/tr/cut/etc., and allow easy capturing of output into variables and performing bash substitutions. IMHO, that's much more powerful than PowerShell's Select-String.

Personally, I think there is an undertapped market for extremely low volume productions. The cost of a mask set is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there is very little custom or domain-specific IC design.

I do think it's a slow market to emerge. They'd need very patient funding. If nothing else, tooling needs to catch up, which is 5+ years.
Maybe people should live literally anywhere else?
This went pretty terribly for Fall Guys[0] because the moment a false positive slips through, and then that player posts their clip of a game with close to 100% cheaters on Twitter or Reddit, it exacerbates their image of a game with a serious cheating problem. Everyone saw a game taking place jam packed with cheaters and it became a PR problem they had to overcome.

You're probably referring to the California Environmental Quality Act. It is very unclear how these two things intersect. My guess is some court will decide sometime in the future. By default, as far as I know, CEQA still applies.

My understanding of the wording there comes from https://abag.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2022-10/Bu...

>> Fyodorov believed in the eventual resurrection of all the dead through scientific means, and Tsiolkovsky shared his vision of immortality through technological advancement.

Did either of them think how the costs of resurrection would be covered? For example, would the resurrected have to spend some quote of their new lifetime spouting advertisement, etc?

Ob, Objective Reality emerges from universal potential; radiating as potential of being

Potential as aspect of existential reality resolves (entropy as “distribution of potential over negative potential”) as “aspect of being”. Aspect of being is any perturbation of existential reality (Ob).

Sub, subjective existential being emerges by any relationship of any aspect of being. Selves, from complexity of a stone to cognizant embodiment of being.

Sub, self as primary; sup, self as the other.

Existential being emerges by the relationship of the aspect of being.

Systems describe all parts of complexity, as the division of subjectives come at every layer of relationship. The relationship decides the scope of the system.

The relationship. The subjectives, their interfaces.

The product is the emergent phenomena. That is the end game. Emergence means that the outcome is greater than the sum of parts.

That potential has increased in the universe by production through relationships acting among subjectives is the ultimate manifestation of our existential being.
The both-sides fallacy is all well and good where you have some objective measure (e.g. the scientific method), even if it's one you chose yourself (objective in that case meaning w.r.t. the arguments being presented).

For things like politics, methodologies, predictions, and anything that doesn't have a clear method of deciding who's right - the numbers might give a clue. For example, if roughly 50% of voters voted for Trump, you should not assume that those presenting his views are guilty of falling for the both-sides fallacy. The numbers show you that there really are two sides.
Agreed.

In the lousy acoustics of a subway, there's going to be no difference between Joshua Bell and any other reasonably talented busker. Bell brings a specific kind of skill, a highly refined sound and sensibility that is unique to him, but not going to be readily apparent to a casual listener.

If anything, the regular buskers might put on a better performance. That's their job. They'll select the right music for the venue and crowd. Performing is a show, not just playing the instrument, and they'll put on the show that's appropriate there and then.

It would be a bit like watching Michael Jordan shooting free-throws in the neighborhood court. I'm sure he'd do it better than the others... but not anything you'd pay attention to. Lots of people can put balls in the basket.

As a performer myself, it's always a little irritating watching people drift to the famous ones just because they're famous -- people who would otherwise attract little attention if their fame weren't called out. It's not that they're not talented; of course they are. It's just that there are many other equally talented people who never got attention. Movies feature the same A-list stars over and over, even though they could have many equally talented actors for a thousandth the price. But people wouldn't go... because they're not A-list stars.

That's no shade on Bell, though I do think that the humorist who set up the stunt missed the point. I admire Bell for going out to entertain.

> If it is so uniform

It is uniform. It is an immutable string.

> why does every command need a dozen switches for modifying their output?

This question is unrelated to uniformity... Depends on the command I guess? Some do, some don't. Another argument is about how much information you want printed... I mean, when you work with SQL clients you don't just select the entire table every time you want to do something with it, but it doesn't mean that tables are unstructured uniform strings... quite the opposite.

> Everything you cite as a problem with structured IO is a problem with text too
