In 1993 had an exam for my MSc Computer Sciences, course “3D graphics”.

To my despair, the exam turned out to consist of only a single question.

Question: write code to approach a sphere using triangular planes so the model can be used in rendering a scene.

I didn’t get to that specific chapter, so I had no idea.

My answer consisted of a single sentence:

I won’t do that, this is useless, let’s just use the sphere, it’s way more efficient and more detailed.

And I turned it in.

I got an A+.

I really don't understand the problem. If a kid is spending the whole class trying to trick the AI into turning into skynet then tell them off.
The problem was that creative people were intruding into the space of old school software developer mentalities and “standards” people. Flash devs got paid extremely well, were highly collaborative, and executed exceptionally fast. But they weren’t “doing it the proper way” and for some reason the software/tech industry at large needed to show Flash how it was meant to be done. No one yet figured out how to properly centre a div or agree on what was restful, but knew for sure Flash was doing it wrong because the <video> tag was now only 4 short years away from viable browser penetration.

And now we finally made it. The 2d canvas context can fill paths, you can loop an audio file, you can even centre divs. You just gotta duck tape all that garbage together, manually through code, forget about animation authoring, in a dry as heck Node.js tooling ecosystem, and spend your nights replaying arguments you had with your co-workers about linting rules.
As you can get higher radix fix becomes more interesting IMO. Less about switching who you talk to (although you do some of that) and more about how many channels you allocate.

If future optical switches (or this one?) are multi-wavelength capable, the radix goes up! Even just separating a high & low band on each transceiver, making multiple links out of it (would require more complex transceivers) would be super useful/cool.

I wonder how much Segment-Routing (SR) this all uses, an IP feature where packets pre-enscribe their route- or whether it's all custom stuff. Seems like a useful place for SR.

Causal is a financial modelling tool so while we're only Series A, we've spent the last 4 years working with finance teams across all stages (our customers), as well as the wider startup finance ecosystem of accountants, CFOs, VCs.

I'm a daily user of UE but not a game dev, so my perspective might be skewed, but nearly everything in UE targets high end dev (even the clunky parts, haha). The materials and rendering stuff are stellar, but also things like their asset pipeline and content workflows all have a "big project" vibe.

Sometimes the complexity of UE can be overwhelming. For example, if you're just trying to set up an AI-controlled actor to animate differently in some different states, you'll initially be frustrated by the gazillion bits of setup work you have to do. But in every case I've seen, that complexity exists to support the flexibility and richness needed by top of the line games.

Basically, for better and for worse, UE was written by and is used by people who have built, shipped, and supported AAA games.
> Diplomatic immunity is absolute

That sounds… extreme. Wikipedia lists several examples [1] where a diplomat's immunity was waived by their home country since they committed offense unrelated to their function. And the same seems to be true for head states committing war crimes, as it is unrelated to their function [2].

The actual results of the experiment are not what the title would lead one to believe.
You can, but that inevitably leads to far more Boltzman brains than things like the universe, and that's disastrous because then you should expect to be a Boltzman brain yourself, but they're configured randomly so if you are a Boltzman brain you can't trust any belief you have about reality including the maths that says you should be a Boltzman brain.

It's basically a softer version of Russell's paradox but for cognition and reality.
I highly recommend reading old press clippings from your area. Reading headlines from 100 years ago personally made me feel as though not much has changed.
I don't disagree with you, but there is nothing in the Constitution that protects one's right to own and drive a car (there is for owning firearms). But car ownership is seen as a right, rather than a privilege, and that comes with it a hugely entrenched feeling of entitlement, privilege, and exceptionalism.

A way to feel this is to go car-free for a week in the US. Some places are easier than others. But compare this to going car-free for a week in Europe. It will probably be a much different experience for most places in Europe, as compared to the US.
US import restrictions and tariffs also contribute to this problem… I would sell my left pinky toe to be able to buy a VW Multivan stateside. A practical 7 seater that can fit adult passengers in the third row, in a Toyota Camry-size package. Meanwhile, in the US, station wagons are completely dead, “mini”vans are nearly a foot longer than the Multivan and are larger than the fullsize cargo vans of yore, and adult-friendly 3 row SUVs are even larger than that. Automakers are basically coercing consumers into upsizing.

I'm in product management (though a former engineer). You're right that knowing the tools and how to apply them is definitely meaningful. But I also have to demonstrate that I know more than just the use of tools.

Yes, but there's also an element of pervase incentive related to safety adding to it. There was an additional regulation put in some time ago regarding hood design, such that pedestrians have a crumple zone above the engine block. The correct way to solve this was mount the engine lower and slope the hood more, but auto manufacturers decided to just jack up the whole frontal facade instead, defeating the whole purpose. I'm not arguing against having this regulation btw, there are worse out there, it's just interesting is all

Yes, I've thought about that. In my opinion, the difference is that "you(s)" often reward controversial/contrarian takes. 4chan is already contrarian so what I mean here is going the opposite way. That is, you can go and post something that's completely against the culture of the forum and you'll get plenty of reactions. Even if it's just insults or slurs.

In a funny way, this incentivises swiming against the current, so there's never a consensus.

Karma on the other hand only creates a chilling effect, beacuse you're either banned or shadowbanned or somehow silenced. Take HN for example, if you post something controversial here not only it doesn't get more visibility, but it's grey-ed out and thrown to the bottom.

I think this is apt, but another factor is that people don't want to put in up-front effort to learn a tool (rather than make progress on their actual goal) unless they have confidence that the effort will actually be rewarded.

Most people's use of technology is heavily punctuated with inscrutable, unfixable issues. If that's your experience, are you going to want to use a tool that you have to invest time and effort in before actually using it productively for the first time?

I did some reading on 'good bacteria' for bone health and my take away was it can depend person to person.

I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a one sized fits all here. Probably having a big diverse population is better than shooting yourself with a few strains, as we get older we have less diversity of gut bacteria and interesting the younger have the opposite.

It's refreshing isn't it? "Seeming cringe" only happens if you already suffer from "Car Brain", which I think is best defined as thinking of the car itself as having inalienable rights, much like that of a human being.
This isn't really an apt metaphor. Firstly because higher level blindfolded players, when trained to play with a blindfold, also virtually never make mistakes. Secondly because a computer has permanent concrete state management (compared to humans) and can, without error, keep a perfect representation of a chess if it chooses to do so.

> Downvotes on HN, as I understand it, are only for bad manners or the obvious wrongness, even if throwed subjectively.

They are very much thrown casually and often to suppress opinions or to rate limit people without arguing

I have had situations where I expressed that I will play the devil's advocate hoping to get interesting conversations out of it, and they certainly happened, but I was quickly rate limited.

I have heavily downvoted when I called out certain beliefs and positions while providing citations in favour of my position. I have seen comments and posts wrongfully flagged, and I have observed in real time waves of downvotes to comments (by keeping track of the account's karma over time) without any other form engagement in the removed post.

I have had people downvote all of my criticism for a particular post / claim / approach because the author was famous without proper engagement or assessment of my claims or arguments. The responses were all woefully uneducated in the subject and resorted to insults and other juvenile remarks instead of substance.

At the same time, I saw ad-hominems and otherwise detestable and inexcusable behaviour getting excused and even upvoted.
Job.

> most people overestimate their required calorie intake

It's not something so mechanical as this. For obese people, our /bodies metabolic system/ overestimates our required calorie intake and causes us to feel the pangs of hunger far past when we've consumed a sufficient amount of calories. It's not a conscious choice to overeat, nor is it something that takes effort to do. I ate like a normal person while traveling around the world, walking 10 to 15 miles per day, and going to the gym 3 times a week for an hour, and I still gained back 40 pounds over the course of 18 months (nearly 20 of it in the first 6 months) after going off a monitored, strict calorie restrictive diet.

My actual daily caloric intake need was around 1200 kcals, exceeding this isn't hard to do, and keeping to it was a daily struggle that wasn't possible to maintain while traveling when I could no longer strictly control all the food I ate or even know how many calories it was or what its ingredients were. If I was to guestimate, I'd say I was consuming between 2500-3000 kcals daily while traveling, and this was sufficient to gain almost all of the weight I lost over 7 years back in a matter of months.

This is the reality of being obese. It's not like you choose to be fat, or you choose to over eat, or even that you're over eating to the point of gluttony, it's merely that your metabolism needs far less calories than it believes it needs, so if you simply eat a normal amount when you are hungry, you will be fat, guaranteed.

The reason GLP1 agonists work so well is that they actually change how your body's metabolism reacts, and make it so you no longer feel hungry constantly. In fact, you have to force yourself to eat sometimes or you'll end up having the effects on not eating often enough. While taking a GLP1 agonist, reducing or maintaining weight is not the same struggle as it is without medical intervention.

I counted calories and religiously recorded all of my physical activity and food and water intakes using very technological means tied into MyFitnessPal for almost a decade. It was not for lack of effort, dedication, or knowledge that I gained back weight or realized that I was not going to succeed for a lifetime without medical intervention. It's simply not possible to rationally fight your base biological impulses when they are fall into your body's basic survival mechanisms. I effectively "tortured" myself psychologically for almost a decade, and the net result was the moment I stopped I gained all the weight back. GLP1 agonists are basically miraculous.
I am always surprised to read articles that appear to be written by people so disconnected from their own consciousness and value of their own life.

If I value my own life, it follows that I will value yours. Without this fundamental pillar, all that is built without it is unstable and rotten. This is not to be understood rationally. It’s either something you know, or you don’t. If you don’t, what I am saying will sound like religion or superstition.

I’ll also add that your rights end when they conflict with my rights. Finding a way to live with this conflict appears to be the primary “lesson” we are learning together as conscious beings.

It’s sad. I don’t even know why I am writing this.

I interpret it as a sort of entropic antennae... each person (brain? qbit?) is tuned into what might be considered an allocated "entropy bandwidth". Some decisions, like whether you eat a ham bandwidth tomorrow utilize* practically none of that bandwidth. Others, what you might consider "major life decisions" might utilize* a ton of bandwidth. Some people might be gifted with a "larger" antennae, allowing them to utilize* a higher amount of entropy per second, or per lifetime. We might call these great artists, or generally any genius-level intellectuals. Alternatively, bat-shit crazy people.

*: On "utilize". A central debate (the central debate?) seems to be what sort of "state access mechanism" this maps to in our lexicon: "{reading|writing} {global|local|shared} {bandwidth|memory}"

alpaca: Hello!

me: what is your name?

alpaca: The answer to this question depends on what you mean by "know". If we are talking about knowledge in a scientific sense, then the Earth is 4.5 billion years old (give or take). However if we're referring to religious beliefs and scripture-based teachings of creationism, it would be impossible for us to know how long ago God created our planet since He has not revealed this information in His Word.
In either case though, the Earth is billions of years old!

This is like saying I play at a 2900 level if you just ignore all the times I lose.
here's an idea: instead of projecting a human concept of the roundness of a date onto the technical solution, let's use a value optimized for efficient implementation.

Obviously if you move toward 64 bits, as most systems have already done, you don't have a problem.

So if you want to stick to signed 32 bits, let's instead agree to restart counting 32 bit UNIX timestamps for the new epoch at exactly Sun Feb 7 06:28:16 AM 2106 UTC.

Sure, it's not a very round number in human terms, but has the advantage of requiring significantly less implementation.

Of course you still have the same problem of knowing which epoch you are in, but that's intrinsic to the problem when you only have 32 bits.
It's not wasteful because Interior Mapping replaces many objects (which would each have their own vertices and textures) by a single square and texture, so you can have a complex room with many objects at the cost of a single object.

It's a thought experiment, of course. There cannot be any evidence one way or the other, by definition. Any potential evidence is rolled back, too. But then, why are we so sure our current beliefs WRT the arrow ot time are true?

Though there's no hard evidence, but if you think, for example, about the efficiency of evolution - it would be much easier to explain if we assume that the unlimited number of iterations is performed. (This is not the only possible explanation, of course- but this one is overlooked IMO)

I would say that compared with the strange ideas like "multiverse", this one is rather benign :-)

Go doesn't differ that much from other GC languages. GC cost/complexity doesn't really change much with average allocation size. Go putting less load on the GC just means the JVM GCs would be playing on 'easy mode'.
I literally just finished writing some documentation and had Copilot running, sometimes it'd autocomplete something with garbage (and I would just type what I wanted anyway), more than once it autocompleted with several lines of exactly what I wanted to write.

Big Linux 2.82.0 (2023) release vibe. The gist is... 3.0 wasn't breaking, they just got tired of ticking minor versions. The what if is what if Linux hadn't done that... What if we just stuck on Linux 2, as semver suggests we do? I think that has premise has held true forever, that major versions are just for show on Linux.

I used to keep the tally of Linux releases... Wonder where we really are.
