Thanks! It brings us to some checks. But I read

> Spelling with -ct- recorded from late 14c., established 18c., by influence of the verb. OED considers the version with -x- to be "the etymological spelling", but Fowler (1926 - «A clear differentiation being out of the question, and the variation of form being without essential significance...») points out that -ct- is usual in the general senses and even technical ones

Actually, I would say that 'reflection' is the more proper. 'Reflexion' reflects the French spelling, so it is "«etymological»" in the sense of "post-Hastings 1066" (i.e. tracing the history), but in Latin it is 'flectere' (hence 're-flectere'). "Flectere" is already an action, so "reflection" is proper for the faculty.
This game is still amazing. I never played it as a kid, but bought the Definitive Edition last year on steam. Already have > 600 hours on it.

Beat RTS ever in my opinion.

Check out big tournament to get an idea of the current scene: https://youtu.be/6krbA4jTUqE

Also I didn't play multiplayer until last month, most of that 600 hours was spent in the many many excellent single player campaigns
> but their definition of optional includes "no multiplayer" as well.

I don't think this is ideal by any means, but I do think it's a reasonable compromise.

For better or worse, many/most modern multiplayer games are architected to use a centralized, company-run software. The server software is not built to be deployed by end-users, and getting it to that state would involve very significant engineering effort. It's just not a reasonable ask.
No, you're not. You're flame baiting.

I have very sweet memories of installing an app called "Terminal IDE". At the time I had no idea how to install (or use) Linux so this was my first time

The best part was that the author had included a lovely help manual which briefly showed how to use command line tools, gdb, tmux, vim, irc, git, etc. but it was cryptic enough that I had to experiment a lot. And the environment was pretty constrained - BusyBox, a couple of pre-compiled tools but no package manager or X11.

This was my gateway into "real" programming, as opposed to typing things in an IDE.

But there is nothing phone-specific about this, if I had an easy way to try Linux on my computer, I would have preferred that. Obviously now WSL exists so it kind of fills that niche.

I think the app is no longer available and there are better alternatives, but I still have it on an 8 year old device.
Why call it "OpenAI" when it is probably the biggest blackbox thing out there.
The word you're looking for is called marketing. If you don't like that part of a business as a developer, that's fine, but you'll soon find out why it is an essential skill when starting a company or building a product. To answer your question: No, it's not a lie even by more rigid developer community standards if AI is the core part of the product (so let it be API calls). Those companies are using AI Technology as perceived by the public.
Why not build some system for it then if it is that important? Send automatic SMS to everyone subscribed, or emails... Or build applications on all possible devices? The possibilities are endless.

Because AI is the current tech flavor of the month and everyone wants a slice of the pie even if they don't know anything about it themselves, just like crypto a few years ago.
Obviously because they are designed for consumers to consume. Not for producers to produce like 80s computers.
> “The touchscreen and keyboard layouts make it difficult to type needed symbols”

The key layout on a touchscreen is entirely adaptable though. A language with a custom symbol set designed for small touchscreen entry could perform well.

I’ve long thought that an APL-derived language might be great for phone coding. The custom symbols aren’t a problem on a touchscreen, and the extreme code density means you could fit a lot of meaningful program on a small screen.
I occasionally program on my smartphone, and the big problems are the manual interface and the lack of total control of my file systeme.
But the answer to "why" is always gobbledygook. We try to answer how there is something instead of nothing. I do not think anyone can answer why it is flooding in Florida now. Many can answer the how, multiple levels deep.

'Why" is trying to assign a higher order causality and that is religion.

But, if you are using "why" as a way to probe into inner workings, here is one possible hypothesis - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SxowRIc20M&t=761s
Agreement was not my aim. [Of course we can agree to disagree.] I am pointing out that a different reading of the corpus is possible.

On the second point you have misunderstood as well. They are entitled to their opinion, and are representative of a selected subset of thinkers in their era. The main issue is how they position themselves in relationship to "nature" (as you put it) which is rejected. Presumptuous only enters the picture if one insists, as you do, that such a choice can only be validated by a cultural and intellectual establishment (which is also rather characteristic of that set).
Because New York City is like deep space: fundamentally hostile to life, especially human life. Once people get past their sensory overloaded twenties (or luck into the kind of wealth that triggers syncophantic personalities to suck up to them), it becomes clear that everything you try to do in the City involves a fight (and I'm not just talking about the days when you get multiple parking tickets, or the late nights when the F Train seems like it's never coming, or the kid behind the Deli counter gives you a sour look when you're counting out singles to pay for that double-digit sandwich on Seventh Avenue). A titanic struggle for survival in a high rise hellscape. And everyone is on edge, ready to pop off at any moment because they've reached their limit of being beaten down.

OK. The real answer is that The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that regulates vendors at its facilities is a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Mos Eisley. Clearly George Lucas had experienced one too many visits to JFK. Or was it LaGuardia?

> believed that WWIII was going to happen eventually.

The 'bomber gap' and the 'missile gap' were fictions, with U-2 photo-intelligence showing the Soviets didn't have the capability to carry off a massive attack.

US politicians decided it was better to keep knowledge of the U-2 away from the US public - even though the Soviets knew about the U-2 starting on the first flight. The US even lied about the Powers U-2 crash in 1960, calling it a high-altitude research flight, with the possibility of an incapacitated pilot.

So I don't think it's right to say simply they believed the possibility, as that belief was deliberately inculcated by people who wanted a war, wanted increased war funding (the "military-industrial complex"), and/or wanted to leverage public fears for personal and political power.
People are always unhappy. My wife is an exec and most of her direct hires are clueless as to their worth. One of her direct reports got a promotion and when another found out, he complained. Meanwhile, he did less than half the work of the other. When she pointed that out, he got quiet. He’s probably still going to quit because most people can’t take the truth.
It'd be nice to see some real testing and verification. I've resorted to buying only California olive oil because I have more trust in the regulation of domestic products than I do in the regulation of imports.

It's interesting to note that California Olive Ranch's 100% domestic olive oil costs quite a bit more than their 'world blend.' I'm guessing that world blend includes imported not-really-olive-oil.

If I use AWS/GCP to build a SaaS product that runs in the cloud, I think it's fair to market as something running in the cloud. Especially if the customer isn't going to be able to buy it and run it on-prem. It wouldn't make sense to call myself a cloud provider though, that's what AWS/GCP are. AI companies aren't so clear with their naming.
Not quite. I understand that's a piece but if you've ever tried to solve this problem it's not even close to being as easy as you make it out to be.

1. The stats you cited (k/d) is well within normal variance

2. It's not super common for cheaters to run around spinbotting/blatant wallhacking. I would actually say that's the minority.

3. Depending on the game, that would never happen because MMR just matches you up with people based on your new "skill" i.e. 2 games with 8K/d puts me in harder games and I go back down to something reasonable. Again, most cheaters don't continue to just dominate, those are the minority and get caught easily.
One can claim one's product possessing/powered by AI. It doesn't mean that one is building the AI algorithm oneself.
Just like one can claim to provide infinite scalability, uptime and redundancy, leveraging some public cloud infrastructure.

Once OpenAI and similar AI infra become firmly established like public clouds, products built on top of them will find it more attractive and compulsive to mention that their service is powered by so and so AI, and not some in-house random AI.

It's all marketing tactics IMO.

Anticipate stuff, stuff happens, repeat. It's all just dopamine.

Dive head first into AI or something new (to you). Hell, go start a business in your garage. Read up on those earlier weirdos (I'm currently reading Make Something Wonderful[1] about Steve Jobs) and how they did it, and patch in the current AI hotness.

You can't introduce 3D to desktop computing in 2023 for sure, but what could you introduce to the world that involves AI? Think Different :P

Maybe you fancy building some hardware. Cram a decent stt/tts engine into a raspberry pi and recreate everything Alexa can do. Maybe that idea is crap but while doing it you come up with your actual idea.

The weirdos are hiding at the front of whatever is going on. Web3, AI, whatever the next thing will be. They're partying over there. Have a search for the #buildinpublic hashtag on Twitter. There's a lot of noise (lots of people are on the internet now) but you'll likely find something interesting.

You don't need to jump into AI, that is an example. Don't get caught on the example.

It's really hard to get excited from a standing start, step 1 is to get inspired. If you can't find inspiration, look back to see what last inspired you and literally do that again.

Keep your flywheel spinning and chase the dopamine!

The main problem is who gets to decide on the one anointed approach. Diversity ends up being a good thing, and also makes everything more messy and more complex.

Take your example of the Open Web. I wouldn't be in software without the Open Web. I hand-write HTML and CSS to this day! But many people hate the web stack. They hate the ergonomics and enjoy better ecosystem for nearly every possible thing implemented in the web. I think ultimately, that's ok and it's "worth" having competing standards, because the alternative is - pardon the dramatics - authoritarian.

> #2) Check for prior art first. The problem may have been solved before...

I generally take issue with the statement "this is a solved problem". It ends up killing critical thought on the vine. I think everyone is better served thinking critically, and yes maybe something off the shelf is the right choice. But think critically, and freely, first.

> #3) "be opened-minded to other approaches"

contradicts the idea of building one-thing all-together no?
The speed-up of the free and default "chatGPT" happened because they switched it from the full size GPT-3.5 to "GPT-3.5-Turbo", which is likely a finetune of the 10x smaller GPT-3 Curie.

If you have chatGPT Plus you can choose "Legacy" from the drop-down to get the smarter (and slower) 175B Parameter version of GPT-3.5. That version is the same speed as GPT-4 when load is low (early morning EST), which lends credence to the theory that GPT-4 is the same size as overparametrized GPT-3.

On a more serious note, does anyone knows how it came that talking prices for labor become a taboo at first place? Was it cultural? Did it become a thing with the industrial revolution or something? What is the history of "don't talk salaries"?

It's not the same everywhere so it must be for different reasons everywhere but IMHO its important to recognise the story behind it so to reason for what to do next.
I think the expectation that tech wins & is everywhere in 5 years is murdering useful progress. It's not the climate we are in any more. Success is slow boiling, especially for web standards.

The lack of empathy for how long change takes keeps letting doom & gloomers send good things to the graveyard.

You do understand that the old HW doesn't suddenly stop working when it's unsupported by the new OS.
This is a pretty good article about CPU virtualization, which is a key starting point (as this seems to be the starting point of a series).

What I'm interested in at the moment is device virtualization, which seems like a pretty hairy problem in the current KVM paradigm. IOMMU is a big step but it seems there's just a lot of grunt work left for getting the host/guest drivers working well.

It almost feels like exokernel [0] path would have been preferable over having to write windows/linux/mac host drivers for virtualizing buses/devices. We already have a very awkward overlap with UEFI drivers. Maybe we just need new HW bus designs that are more of a switch than mux, I haven't gone deep enough into modern bus controller designs to know though.

The reality of doing this kind of research/work is a special hell though, because you sit in a crossfire between hardware/firmware/os/application vendors.

As opposed to eating rings, which can permanently give you the associated magical intrinsics (without having to wear the ring). This, in turn, means that which specific intrinsics you can get that way various from game to game (because you can temporarily polymorph into a metal-eating monster, but some rings are metal and others aren't).

State ID's have all the same data as a drivers license. The only missing bits are the vehicle class endorsements.
I'm baffled by the general lack of absolute outrage around these recent bills requiring government issued ID to use the internet. Most of the comments here are discussing irrelevant nuances like "oh, well it seems to only apply to platforms above a certain size," while ignoring the atrocity that these bills represent for the freedoms and privacy that we've all taken for granted up until now.

Get your bloody hands off my internet was a common bond hackers shared when I was growing up and using this allegedly dangerous thing at the ripe age of 10. Did enough of us become disengaged parents who want the government to sanitize a beautiful sea of expression because we're too lazy to teach our kids about it? Do we not see the path that bills like this lead us down? I fear that the golden age of information is waning.

My only hope is that this kind of nonsense doesn't spread outside of the flyover states, where it might have an actual chance at needing to be implemented.

I'm just so angry and disappointed that no one is fighting this as hard as we should be. "Think of the children" is such a cheap parlor trick.
>There should be this thing called 'Free Market', where you don't have to buy whatever stupid improvement is pushed onto the folks.

I think of the browser as another kind of OS, and as Microsoft keeps making their OS worse the browser is a nice reprieve. The more that goes into the browser the more I can ditch Microsoft and hopefully be rid of it all together.

Though ironically maybe given that the browser can do so much is the reason that Microsoft has to focus on ‘value add’ crap instead of just a rock solid OS. Which sets up a self reinforcing cycle. Microsoft should recognize that this was intentional move by Google and not take the bait.

> Wheel bearings on modern cars are incredibly long-lived. I don't think I've changed one in over 30 years on our family cars.

Depends on the car. I had a POS Chevy uplander and had to replace them 3 times. Angry because my Mazda was the same age, same milage and on its original set so i asked the GM mechanic why..

He told me the design. I'm going to guess the Uplander has the cheapest ones available?

But like you, I thought the same thing.. is "bearings" really a thing these days and apparently it is??

I'm never going to buy another "domestic" car again, and this whole "infotainment" mess we see here reinforces my decision.
The idea that encouraging your engineers in some way — whether through this particular method or not — would have limited utility is absurd. It goes to show how poorly and inaccurately they are often regarded, and it’s no surprise to see it in another weekly 100-comment burnout HN thread.

Specifically having a therapist or a coach around is not a big concern, but if your company considers you and your performance important, you will be encouraged to develop yourself and develop your network in the company one way or the other. Whether this happens is the quickest way to determine if you are considered an NPC or not. For example, if travel between offices is common in your company, but you don’t travel and are just thrown in on projects with random people around the world, then you know it’s you. Main characters meet up, plan, improve, guide, imagine, act, change; NPCs more or less do what they’re told. If you rarely hear a word of encouragement or feedback about what you’re doing, it’s probably because nobody cares — or they think they could replace you in a week — and you should calibrate how much you care accordingly.

What the Webb Telescope Showed Us About the Cosmos’ Beginning
Speaking for myself, the command line prompt never inspired me to learn programming. I messed with quite a few Commadore and even Sinclair computers back in the day and the command line was only ever used to load programs from disk.

I did try programming from scratch and even typed in some of the programs published in BYTE and whatnot. Nothing I ever came up with on my own ever seemed worth the effort and certainly wasn’t how I wanted to use my time. What a pain in the ass. Typing all that crap and debugging was never as interesting as using programs.

The vast majority of people have no interest in messing with programming. Most people have no internet in making anything. You can complain that it’s a symptom of consumer culture or whatever but I think it has always been the case that more people want to use a tool than make a tool. Even back in the 80s computers were bought to use programs primarily. Only a tiny minority were interested in programming and that will always be the case.

Yep. Google, Spotify, Amazon, Basecamp.

Someone discovers a blogpost about how desks on Amazon were made out of doors in the early days and suddenly all new desks are made of doors.

> Steam is possibly one of the least worse monopolies that have existed. It doesn't block the products from being sold on other platforms, takes care of quite a lot for those who use it.

They do require that the price of your game on Steam be equivalent or lower than the price outside of it. That’s very anticompetitive, and IMO should be illegal as it doesn’t do anything but harm consumers.
