What are the guarantees about the networking? I saw this in the blog post:

> The server state is automatically synchronized to clients, and the data model is the same on the server and client. This means that in the future you can move your code between backend and frontend, or even run it on both seamlessly.

Different types of games need different types of networking. It seems like it's going to be hard to reason about how to program the game without knowing the constraints and guarantees on the network code.
How did you get that diagnosed?
Worked for 5 years old a ColdFusion codebase that is still in use for a large SaaS. 1 Big monolith, no tests, all procedural code and changing any code would break something somewhere else.

But honestly now I work on a typescript monolith thats moving to microservices and its probably worse than the ColdFusion code base. I'd rather work on the ColdFusion codebase.
I think yes because that's not exactly what happens, local capital class members will leverage political power to do things in nations that try opt out of global capitalism like staging coups or refusing to trade at all. See Venezuela, Cuba, Guatamala, Congo, etc.

Furthermore there's no guarantee the locals will actually be "brought into the middle class." It's entirely likely a nation will get simply stuck as a cheap labor force for other nations indefinitely, see India and the Philippines.

Finally, the cycle doesn't just end at "nation is done being exploited for cheap labor and instead now had a middle class and imports cheap labor," there's late stage capitalism which is where the usa is at where the inherent contradictions cause systemic collapse. See: the American crises in healthcare, infrastructure, housing, homelessness, individual savings, and rapidly plummeting incomes.

Then of course the obvious question: what happens when there's no more cheap labor to exploit?

Or the other side of the question: what happens when automation has driven the value of human labor down to pennies?

Capitalism doesn't have an answer for these questions because under a capitalist system (and indeed some Marxist ones too), you must justify your existence through labor and labor utility.
Yes, there are of course other topics that are not just "tooling" related. But data science does have a tooling problem. Lots of unsolved tooling problems, in fact. Especially when you're dealing with larger data science orgs, you start running into a lot of inefficiencies and problems that do need to be solved in a more systematic way. Making data scientists more efficient allows them to actually work on the more interesting problems and ask the questions that deliver value.

“Dark ages” was limited to the leftover sphere of influence of the western Roman Empire, 200 AD is considerably too early as a start for the period.

There really was a steep decline in civilization, cities emptied, many completely, literacy rates in the tank, many many people regressed to subsistence agriculture.

No it wasn’t the whole world, the successful successor states to the Roman Empire didn’t experience it. It was also not complete, but don’t make the naysayers mistake of overstating the contrary evidence.
Google made the mistake of “we’re really smart about tech, how hard could biology be?”
Regarding the quoted e-book study:

> Third, in the present study, the LE-eBook was set to maximum brightness throughout the 4-h reading session, whereas, by comparison, the print-book condition consisted of reflected exposure to very dim light.

Yeah, max brightness is probably going to make an impact. I bet if you were in a room with a bright light reading a book, with an equivalent amount of lumens going into your eyeballs, you'd probably have a tough time sleeping. This study seems like it was set up to generate a certain set of results. I wonder how it would look if the quantity of light was controlled for.

Additionally, the comparisons to the incandescent spectrum and the freaking out about the blue peaks (which seem pretty small) was over the top. The incandescent spectrum contains blue, and the "peak" of the other spectra would contain an equivalent integral of blue light as compared to a slightly brighter incandescent light.

Just turn the lights down low at night and get some warm spectrum bulbs and you'll be okay.
It does matter. One system is transparent and predictable; the other one creates an awkward unwritten obligation and an uncomfortable power dynamic.

> after thousands of years of parents' raising kids without a third party involvement.

historically, the extended family like grandparents, are the ones taking care of children while working age parents go out to actually work (the fields).

Historically, this works, because you tended to live with the grandparents, at least for a while - the household is multi-generation.

The recent "privilege" of buying your own separate home away from your own parents, before having children, is new. And if these people aren't rich enough to afford child care, it's because they've overstretched - they ought to really live with their parents imho (and make sacrifices like the old generations did).

Happens for me. Not lucid. Never thought about it but florid seems like a good word for it (I'd guess at adjectives like vivid, emotional, confusing)
Imagine you're a disgraced german soldier at the end of WWII, Would you rather be holding Reichsmark or gold when you take the ratlines to South America? Even in a collapse there is value in having something value dense you can use in the least collapsed of your options.

Of course gold is still a great option, the most obvious disadvantage is it can be physically seized at the border.
I don't know the term either, but I experience what the parent poster said. I've tried melatonin, and it gives me crazy vivid dreams that keep up the feeling of stress. It doesn't rest the brain, it's more like being knocked out by concussion, and it takes hours to reset and wake up and get back to functioning.
tbh the ChatGPT saga has exposed just how willing people are to send their own/company's/client's/patient's data to a third party without a second thought.
It's the same color so it means all three are in effect for those zones.
... or actual surfaces, which we are allowed in Kerr (or more properly perturbations thereof) or Hartle-Thorne spacetimes where the central body is non-compact, for example.

Where modelling an astrophysical body this way tends to fall down is that as far as we can tell the central mass evolves and is in general not uniform in the sense that it has long-lasting multipole moments (that would quickly bald away for a black hole), frustrating the hopes of matching the object's interior with the exterior solution. In comparison, outer space is practically always empty enough of stress-energy that the non-physicality of the vacuum or lambdavac region is rarely the issue (and can be dealt with perturbatively, for example).

The other major problem is that binary (and triple) systems are surprisingly commonplace, and the N-body problem will drive one towards approximations of GR for tractability. This is the essence of this thread's cautions on the difficulties in superposing solutions to the EFEs. Worse, the two problems above can feed into one another, like when binary stars raise long-lived bumps on each other.

This reminds me to re-read the invigorating <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00190-016-0927-4> which compares the gravitation of Earth and its messy multibody neighbourhood with several exact vacuum solutions and a couple of formalisms. The first author is the redoubtable Michael Soffel <https://www.iau.org/administration/membership/individual/733...> A PDF of the paper can also be found at s c y h o b. The kicker is the two paragraphs before section 3.
Really hoping ENS can step in here and fill this gap. There's a lot of work being done on social and messaging infrastructure. Using that as an email and chat handle and social handle would be huge for maintaining open messaging. Unfortunately this relies on adoption and people living past their bias and admitting there's use cases.
This conversation is off the rails.

There's a 100% chance that some (many, actually) members of the community would have believed this account to be 'real' ergo, he's impersonating an entire police force.

Ergo, reasonable to think he was 'disruptive' to Emerg. Services.

Here is one of his 'satire' posts [1]

Where is the satire?

I can't even see how that's funny to anyone, but that's besides the point, there's no reason for people to not be certain that it's not real.

Frankly is seems really 'real' to me.

EDIT: Here's a very salient point - I glanced at it and actually missed the specific detail about 'hiring upon passing a 15 question test'. Why? Because even as I knew it was parody, the badge was there, my mind was filling in the blanks. I had to re-read it and 'think about it' to realize that was the 'comedy'. That's part an parcel of why we're not allowed to impersonate police officers for fun.

He is 'impersonating' Emergency services. That's it. That's obviously not appropriate and surely should not be legal.

I suggest the Police were called out of confusion, which is very literally supporting the claims that it was 'disruptive' to their operations.

I'm sad that so many people here seem to think he was maligned, I suggest having a look at what he did.

'Making fun of cops' is obviously fine, this was just someone impersonating the police.

All of that said, maybe people are assuming this was all truly a clear, South Park satire?

All absolute true I think.

My only addition is that in my educational experience, a number of times someone would came in to teach with an entirely practical and non-academic background, and it was always a clear and tangible breath of fresh air. Their approach, priorities, clarifications, honesty and insights always had a comparative sense of vitality and importance about them, irrespective of how good a teacher they were in the normal sense.

Your point still holds about how to assess, which as you point out, is its own thing. But it also doesn't exclude the possibility of recognising and providing the value of education from those outside of the education/academic system, however hard that value may be to measure.
In principle, yes, you can use the `rust-sitter-tool` crate to generate the Tree Sitter JSON definition and then compile it to a standalone parser. The grammar is auto-generated though so it may be a bit trickier to integrate into other tooling? The general problem of exporting just the grammar is something that's been on my radar, but haven't had a chance to think through it too deeply yet.
It's a bit weird that we only focus on it with the age of smart phones. Why wasn't MySpace/Facebook equally problematic? I acknowledge it's easier to spend many hours on your phone, but on the other hand I know people spent many hours on their computers on these sites even before smartphones.

Accusing an algorithm of being bad because it doesnt use random chance seems like a bad joke to me.

This is obviously unideal, and if Google was letting this happen regularly & doing nothing about it, I'd have plenty of sympathy for outrage & snark. But from what I can tell they take this quite seriously & spend enormous effort on these hard, difficult problems of trying to work out at scale what content is ok, and what is bad.

It's in their own interest to remain a place advertisers can associate with, and that limus test seems fine; there's such few overall problems it's basically a miracle.

But we have an overwhelming pent up anger & hair-trigger world where the very very very infrequent imperfections & real fuck-ups can be amplified inordinately, are lightning rods of attension. No one in risk management will ever promise you 100% no problems ever. No criticism is worth dealing with if we cant also talk about the millions of cases of bad material that have been mitigated. Having a one sided rage-fest against small specific star counter-examples is a low & unrealistic sensationalization not worth entertaining.

The problem I'm seeing is that "engineers" are not interchangeable. For some folks, the job is all straight coding. For others, it's understanding requirements, talking to stakeholders and figuring out their requirements, figuring out how to make a clean design taking lots of other factors in mind.

It's not that ChatGPT is incapable... it's that it's not inherently going to make me significantly more productive.
> I do think the companies can do quite well by disregarding explainable gaps in one's resume.

i dont believe it is the gap, but more that a company would prefer to hire someone younger (and thus, cheaper?) if they both have the same experience.

JFYI, Apple CarPlay never have been an OS. People often get confused between the foundation SW that OEM provides and consumer overlay that companies like Apple, Google provide. Both are not the same. One cannot replace another.

100% it just plays some sound via speakers. Nothing to do with an engine. But a sale has been made.
No, it's not a thing, its a term my partner used. Lucid dreams you have (within limits) control over the narrative, florid dreams she described as hyper-real, disturbing and unwelcome.

"vivid dream melatonin" had heaps of hits. "melatonin nightmares" might be another way of putting it.

Indeed, folks making these types of conclusions seem to assume that what there is to be built will remain "constant". No, the more productive the tools the bigger the requirements.

Modern high level languages didn't eliminate engineers. They suddenly meant one engineer could do what it would have taken 10 to do in COBOL or C and so software became more complex and capable.
>Honestly why does anyone think this is not wrong?

Probably because they think they're such superior detectors of satire that they will never themselves be hookwinked, and then Just-World-Fallacy away anyone who is.

While also, of course, bragging about all the places they got into by carrying a clipboard, and what an extreme injustice it is every time someone is falsely identified as an intruder.

Spent 15 hours on the road today. Started on the Alabama coast at 7AM and got to Chicago at 10PM. It was between 75 and 80 degrees F until it started raining in southern Indiana around 5pm. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 degrees F by Indianapolis, 40 degrees by West Lafayette, and right at 32-33 in Chicago. Nasty rain from Indianapolis to Chicago, but at least it was wet and not frozen. From what I heard, there was sleet and frozen garbage in the Chicago area all the way until 8 or 9 pm.

Lots of people on the road, I don't think anyone was changing their plans based on the forecast. The strong northerly wind helped my car do 37mpg when normally I would expect 31-32 on that trip.
well, I guess you have a point: non-evidence based requirements leads to non-evidence based remuneration/TC.

It's up for all age groups since 2010. So it's not super convincing that social media is directly at fault. There seem to be some cyclical trends, and 1990-2010 was kind of a low period compared to the period before or after.
strongly encouraging minorities not to apply and implying that they will hire you if you pass a hearing test, while probably their true feelings are clearly parody.

> I dont want a high pilot on my flight.

They're usually not testing for intoxication, but any use at all (where possible). What's the point? Who cares what someone did last week? Meanwhile, you can be 200% hungover and blow 0.00 for alcohol even though it has totally affected you.

Sauce? Not ideal, but where's the problem with successful self-treatment of depression?

> due to depression

Any 2-brain-celled pilot would never admit to any psych issue whatsoever anyway.
I honestly have no idea why someone would think that Sockets, which are designed for IP networking are an ideal solution for IPC, or why someone would think that 'shared memory' is sufficient for sharing information when it's really only part of a solution.

If it were easy than everyone would be doing it the same way and there wouldn't be a discussion about it.

With shared memory in particular, the issue gets tricky around signalling and locking aka indicating to other processes when new info is available, and when another process is accessing the data.

If anyone took just a moment to design an API that was user/developer centric, and worked back from there, it would look materially different from what is provided today.
It's impossible to learn the full breadth of material in a project-based way. You'd have huge gaps. Projects work for a sampling of the material and an motivation for the field, not everyone little piece of it.

I'm rough on the math cause I don't have the billing sheets in front of me, but the other person was pretty close.

The team I managed was me, functioning as frontend lead / architect / engineering manager as well as individual contributor. I then had three junior / early mid-level frontend engineers working with me.

I was pulling 40-60 hour weeks (contract so I didn't mind, just meant more money), the other devs were between 10-40 depending on how much work I could lay out in a sprint. Timezones were Taiwan, somewhere in Europe can't exactly recall, NYC, and California iirc.

That accounts for the frontend. There was a data system that was mostly built when I showed up, by one full time engineer at the startup. So that would be another 40 x 4 x 9 engineering hours on whatever he was working on in the meantime.

Then there was an API that would middleman requests to the data system and build out models and handle customer accounts and shopping carts and other data adjacent requests. That was one full time backend engineer over whom I didn't have responsibility, so add another 40 x 4 x 9 for that.

Finally, the designer was just the CEO. He would draw things up on figma and I'd slice them into frontend tickets. Now that I think about it I think the API engineer was consulting the same designs as he built out the API, I'm not remembering exactly.

So technically my original estimate is just for the frontend, it cost more when considering the whole system.

We "released" every merge into the main branch, internally. The CEO would constantly be giving feedback. It caused some friction occasionally, the classic "right the alignment is slightly off but what do you think about the actual interaction" type shoulder bumps, nothing major. Good feedback loop that basically daily aligned where I should be directing frontend priority.

There was a major customer facing release where a couple core customers were brought off the no code platform onto the new system, that cooked for about two weeks while we collected feedback and engineered against it, then another major release where I took advantage of the respite to do a major rewrite of the naively implemented request management system and fixed up some auth stuff, then another big release and then everyone else is brought over.

I still work a couple hours a week on the projecy but no longer as a leader. Looks like releases are still just kinda whenever, which I think is fine. There are "sprints" and have been the entire time but always quite informal.
