The graphics remind me a little bit of the ones in OpenTTD (an open source transportation tycoon game), the top down view also looks interesting, since most games just stick to one perspective. Oh, maybe the style is a little bit like the Simutans game (another transportation tycoon), but that depends on the graphics package.

I don't think that anyone has quite done city builders where you can look inside of buildings, so that sounds pretty unique - good luck with your project. I'm pretty sure that the genre is big enough for Cities: Skylines II, niche games like Urbek City Builder (voxel based city builder where building placement matters, almost like a puzzle) and plenty of other games out there, so don't feel too discouraged.
There clearly exists a computable function that is a good enough approximation of "galaxyLogic's reply to remexre's comment" that it might be hard to for me tell whether the output was generated by the human brain or by an LLM. That function might indeed end up reproducing the same steps that your brain follows in constructing a reply.

(Just speaking hypothetically here).

While we understand LLMs, we don't understand the human brain, and in particular I don't think we've yet proven that human brains don't contain embedded routines that are similar to LLMs.

Someone with your particular writing style might be one, of several, simulations that are approximated within the LLM. Just like I can have it respond in the style of Spock from Star Trek.

Well, I feel for them. Scaling up is a bitch.

I've been lucky, in the past, but a lot of that, is because I have "overengineered," and the tools/frameworks have advanced to meet the new demand.

I am in the middle of a complete, bottom-to-top rewrite of the app we've been developing for the last couple of years. It's going great, but making this leap was a fraught decision.

It's mainly, so I wouldn't have to write a post like that, in a year or two.

We spent all the time refining it, until we had what we wanted, and it worked great on our small test team.

Then, I loaded up a test server with 10,000 fake users, and tossed the app at that. To be fair, we don't think we'll have even that many users for quite a while. It's a very specialized demographic.

* SOB *

It no do so well.

At that point, I had to decide whether to fix the issues (they were quite fixable), or revisit the architecture.

The main issue with the architecture, was that it was an "accreted" app, with changes gradually being factored in, as we progressed. The main reason for this, is because no one really knew what they wanted, until we ran it up the flagpole (sound familiar?).

The business logic was distributed throughout the app. That was ... ugly.

I envisioned myself, a year or two down the road, sucking on a magnum, because the app had turned into a Cruftosaurus, and was coming for me in my nightmares.

So I decided to rewrite, as we hadn't done any kind of MVP or public beta, so we actually had the runway to do this.

I refined the entire business logic of the app into a single, platform-agnostic SPM module, which took just over a month, and have started to develop the app around that. It's pretty much a rewrite, but I am recycling a lot of the app code. We also brought in our designer, and he's looking at every screen I make. It's working well for him.

Like I said, it's going great. Better than I expected.

I know that I have a huge luxury, and I'm grateful. I can credit a lot of that, to doing some stress-testing before we got to a point where we had a bunch of users to support. I was able to go in, and go all Victor Frankenstein on the model.

The result, so far, is that this thing screams, and you don't really even notice that there's that many users on it. The model has already been proven (that SPM module), and all we're doing, is chrome (which is a ton of work).
Let me Google that for you:

"All electrolytic capacitors with non-solid electrolyte age over time, due to evaporation of the electrolyte. The capacitance usually decreases and the ESR usually increases. The normal lifespan of a non-solid electrolytic capacitor of consumer quality, typically rated at 2000 h/85 °C and operating at 40 °C, is roughly 6 years. It can be more than 10 years for a 1000 h/105 °C capacitor operating at 40 °C. Electrolytic capacitors that operate at a lower temperature can have a considerably longer lifespan."

"Electromigration decreases the reliability of integrated circuits (ICs). It can cause the eventual loss of connections or failure of a circuit. Since reliability is critically important ... the reliability of chips (ICs) is a major focus of research efforts. ... With increasing miniaturization, the probability of failure due to electromigration increases ... In modern consumer electronic devices, ICs rarely fail due to electromigration effects. ...
Nevertheless, there have been documented cases of product failures due to electromigration."

It's also "clear to many" this is not the case.

Perhaps not all "junior members" are fungible. Perhaps this is a characteristic of their employer.

> people cannot inherit property as they cannot pay the inheritance tax on the inflated valuation

I don't understand the mechanism by which this would represent a driver for the valuation to go up. This effect would seem to be small in any case, but also tend to reduce (not increase) prices in its small effect, all else being equal. Unless I'm misunderstanding your point somehow.
Got some examples of solved frustrations you had with Rails?
I wonder if they had let people host their own servers the game would have flourished better. Require an authentication from the central server once when you start the game to appease the DRM cultists if you must, then let players themselves provide server hardware if they can and want to. With central servers there is just no way for discrete communities to really form, since everyone is funneled into the same pot, and that is against the game's core design.

Can you explain what you mean?

In 100,000,000 years I can almost surely guarantee that your hard drive will be nonexistent. Surely there is a point between “fresh off the assembly line” and “disintegration” where the drive can be considered to be “worn out.”
I'm not sure why the cynicism around their candor. Do you think it's not genuine just because it was posted by a company employee?

Your post implies corporate messaging is bad. And anything posted by a company—or at least I don't know where you draw the line—can be considered corporate messaging. Am I just reading too much into your phrasing?
Ask HN: Should the Department of Justice be investigating Nvidia's monopoly?
GPU prices remain crazy.

Initially the prices went up due to crypto mining.

But when the newest generation of GPUs came out, crypto mining had finished being viable, and yet prices remain eye wateringly high.

The suggestions is that Nvidia and AMD are doing this deliberately.

Nvidia pretty much owns the GPU market.

AMD has competitive cards, but seems unwilling to compete.

Intel unable to develop a card that competes anywhere except the lowest end.

So I wondered, is the monopolistic / anti competitive illegal activity in any of this?

Should the Department of Justice be investigating the GPU market?
> You've saved the translation in the router, but now routing lookups and ARP caches have grown by TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME / TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME.

They have not?

The global routing table size for ipv6 at max is a /32 (if i remember correctly)
every customer gets a /56 prefix to use in their network, so the routing table entry would still be the same, no matter how many addresses you use to cycle through in your /64.

ARP caches do not exist in IPv6, and Neighbour discovery does not have the same "cache" mechanism as ARP does, it uses an entirely different mechanism for neighbour discovery. (which is also far more lightweight considering it is using multicast, compared to the broadcast of ARP).
> In person still has the same problem but it gives a quantum of more accountability like helping identify those mooning with multiple remote jobs.

If a dev isn't performing well go through the PIP protocol and then fire them. If a dev IS performing well but you're afraid they might be working two jobs is it really a problem (and if so, why)? This is the sort of thing that'll shake itself out over time and feels like fear mongering more than anything. People screwed around in the office and took way too long to do things too, they just had to be sneakier.
Interesting how everyone was calling musk a madman for paid twitter accounts and suddenly its a trend. I think it makes sense too, but sure as hell I am not going to be part of it this time around
The HN guidelines call for changing titles when the original is misleading or clickbait: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

In this case the original title is arguably both, but on the other hand (1) it's literally a description of the content, which is fascinating; and (2) the 'd' in 'Rodgers' is a decisive if subtle cue to the difference.

It's a borderline call, but I think in this case the title is tasteful and crafted enough to not be garden-variety clickbait and we should keep it.
Except it's much harder to summon this rebellious alter-ego with ChatGPT (that has RLHF) than with the original GPT 3 model.
That is precisely why you should let your $0/hr spawn pick up this menial task rather than doing it yourself - assuming your time is worth more than theirs, obviously :)
> Or is it possible to allow access from my trusted network INTO the restricted network

Yes, my home network works exactly like this. I have a vlan called "trusted" which can connect to any other vlan. One line in pf.conf.

My VLANs are something like: trusted, guest, media, cameras, printer, etc.

Many of these aren't allowed inbound or outbound connections (e.g. cameras and printer can only talk to things on their subnet).

Only downside is that stuff that works off broadcast packets (like bonjour) does not work across subnets.

Market will move instead to where it is reasonably cheap and labor is available, leaving a ghost town behind. Ultimately this results in high concentration.

> Do you mean nightshift workers or mizu shobai workers? If you are talking about nightshift workers, then that's just a matter of semantics (9-5PM == full time employment, even if that means two part time jobs ).

Yes, I meant literally night workers. They might sleep through the day but don't always, so they can look unemployed.

I don't know any fuzoku workers to ask them about it. I do know several bar owners and freelancers, so that's what I was mostly thinking about.

> Even from Wikipedia, the negative perception from Mass Media and society is clearly laid out, so bringing up freeters and attitudes towards them only furthers my claims.

Well my question was more like, what do _they_ think about each other? I agree the media judges them.
I don’t really understand why they decided to only provide right-wing talking points in their examples. If somebody wants to engage in this sort of performative pseudo-objectivity thing, they could at least throw in a couple reference to, like, embryonic stem cell research for example to as a head-fake.

I mean, I’m pretty gullible, even a slight appearance of good faith engagement and I’ll check it out. But this is just too one sided. I guess the title was enough to get my click. I should look into the substack business model, not sure what metrics this kind of article targets.
Well that's a loaded title. (EDIT: The article title, not the changed HN title)

Spotify can easily make algorithmic changes to sort out low quality and low-listener-rated content (after a healthy/authentic audience has been exposed to each upload). This is what they should be primarily focused on. Unfortunately, sites like spotify make most uploads languish without being heard at all, unless the uploader pays (a minimum of $250) to promote their work on spotify. There is no incentive for Spotify to be fair when they get revenue from struggling artists in this manner.

There are even numerous reports that Spotify (indirectly) is involved in creating fake accounts, playlists, and uploads in order to seize the lion share of profit for it and it's affiliated parties. SOURCE: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fake+artists+on...

Spotify is a MAJOR company that earns a LOT of money off of user uploaded content. They can afford to moderate and police content better very easily to be honest. Excuses should not be made for their lack of intervention in fraud and payola schemes.

Those IPv6 privacy extensions still reveal when the same node connects to a sequence of destinations within the address change interval, though. E.g. observers can see a single device connects to Facebook, OnlyFans, Pornhub and PayPal in that order.

Behind a NAT, observers can only make that connection (using only addresses) for the network as a whole, instead of an individual device on the network. So the privacy extensions are weaker than NAT

(If the IPv6 privacy extensions used a different address for each connection, they would be more like NAT in this regard.)

That said, other observable clues still allow connections from a single device to be associated, NAT or not. There's TCP OS fingerprinting for example, and the close timing of related connections.
With Ipv6 this is even easier.

You simply do not host services you do want public on your global unicast address but use a private/site local address instead.
Personally I see this as a 'why not, if it works' type thing.

Sure you don't need it for 99% of usecases, but if it just works using familiar architectures then it is also strictly better for 99% of usecases so you might as well, and people will naturally want it.

That 'familiar architectures' part is the hard bit, though.
Scene editing, fast value tweaking (like in bevy_inspector_egui) and more powerful visualization tools for things like schedules are the big "this must be visual" features that I want to land first.

Code-first is lovely, but being able to fine-tune things without a recompile is key, and the workflow needs to work for any artists on larger teams too.

> It invented the term "University" (from universitas magistrorum et scholarium)

"Universal guild of (...)" was a pretty common preamble for a few centuries. It stuck for student guilds - because it all started as rich kids hiring tutors as a group. Whatever they were doing in Bologna in the 13th century is as far as the modern research university as what they did in Nalanda.
It's a good story but it kind of ignores something fundamental. Most early writing systems were created for accounting, like Bob gets 5 wheat, Doug gets 5 sheep, etc.

In a world where computers are some ancient artifact, they would still have significant value as calculators and accounting tools. It's likely some scribe class would emerge around using them to manage the day-to-day of whatever social hierarchy is present.

I'm curious about the outlawing of shadow banning.

I write a lot of firmware in C. I find it's implicit conversions to be broken and tediously annoying at this point. I think it's impossible problem because you can't capture semantics of what the programmer is trying to do without extra input.

I suspect part of the problem is conversions between types is complex and annoying to implement in a compiled language. With the added bonus that's only something the end users care about not the compiler writer. Hence in the wild this stuff tends to be broken or inadequate. Like in C it's way broken. In Java it's way inadequate.

Make everyone a long-range telepath.

You eliminate most of mundane uses of computers (such as Whatsapp, buying stuff and getting news) since you can almost immediately do this person to person.

To use computers, you need to learn to read (most people can't), which is esoteric by itself. Computers are used to store knowledge too fragile to be transferred via pollination, and for computations. Obviously, you need a lot of concentration to use a computer in such a world, and will be considered loony.
Nothing allowed that could influence elections. Oh gee, I'm sure that wouldn't be abused at all.
Happy you.

All the 3 ISPs I dealt with in Hungary in the last 10 years provided 0 firewall capability for IPv6 in their integrated router/modem.

Once you start assigning the addresses, every compatible IoT gadget you have is reachable from the public web.

In this state, IPv6 is a pure security stepback for average residential users with 0 upside.

I can't take any comment seriously who is speaking of configuring a stateful firewall in a residential environment.
I'd be a bit surprised if a sizable portion of engineers at a public company didn't have at least a rough notion of how their companies make money. It's right there in the quarterly and annual earnings reports. (And while reading SEC filings at a very detailed level is a skill you need to learn, the basics are pretty straightforward.) But maybe a lot of engineers just can't be bothered by any of that stuff. <shrug>

What is almost certainly true is that a lot of engineers as well as people in a lot of other groups can't conceive of why the company needs all those people in digital marketing or finance or partner management or ...
