Why? The world is filled with unwarranted hype and spin and yet this particular instance stands out especially to exasperbate you so?

Do you go around whenever a new album is about to drop and tell people the single is meh and they should in fact not be excited? What is your actual motivation here to take the wind out of peoples sails?

If the spin is unwarranted gravity, as we saw, will take care of it without your input. If the hype is unwarranted it will evaporate on its own even without your input.

So what are you contributing here? How does your attitude benefit anyone/thing? Pessimism is perfectly fine don't get me wrong - but if you are so pessimistic why even bother to make this sort of remark..

Yeah. Last time I looked, MA was like $1k. Just across the border, NH was more like $400. Not a fortune and doesn’t start until vacation payout is done I believe but not nothing for most. You do need to at least go through some motions of job hunting.

Unless you live in Riverdale.

Underreporting on violence in certain communities vs others is biased. Who determines what is uncommon vs common? Who decides the value of 4 people in Riverdale vs 4 people in Beverly Hills? Just going by “frequency of shootings” is a form of bias.
Sounds like you dont vote, too.
I am more of an aero than a space guy, so there is that. While everybody sees the risk of loosing prototypes during testing as almost likely, and non-desastrous as long as there is no loss of life (which was far more accepted until, say, the 60s), nobody would call a failed flight test resulting in a complete hull loss a sucess. The testing until failure happens on component and system level before anything flies the first time.

Maybe actual space rockets arw different, after all those used to be expandable anyway, but still launch failures, and failing to get out of the atmosphere is a failure, shouldn't be seen as sucess of any kind.

As a co worker of mine once out it: Everything flies if you apply enough thrust to it. Doing so in a controlled in safe manner is the trick.
This is brilliant for smaller projects/ small teams that don't want to carry Kubernetes' overhead. Thanks a lot for the writeup! <3
This seems orthogonal to democracy. Democracies have committed atrocities since back in Athens.
>>SWE at a game studio, especially any AAA game studio, is an awful experience.

Just as a counter point - I work at one of the largest AAA game companies and we have great work life balance(been here 9 years). Don't remember when was the last time I worked more than the required 7.5h/day, never worked on the weekend, the people I work with are all passionate about their work and want to deliver something great. The pay is "ok" - it's not exceptional but it allows for good quality of life. In comparison all my friends who went to work in traditional software development are paid somewhat more than I am but they all 100% hate their jobs, so......I don't think it's a bad trade off.

As for the infinite supply of people wanting to do this - it's only really true at junior level, as soon as you talk anyone above junior it's extremely hard to recruit and you might be getting a handful of candidates a year. We've been trying to hire a senior rendering programmer for over a year now and we've had like 5 candidates total.
Caution is advised here. Teas can vary wildly from producer to producer, fixing methods and even from year to year and the extraction vessels, brewing methods and even the water heating and temp measuring methods play a significant role.

Anecdotal evidence:
The temps for my daily drinker (a deep steamed sencha) this year are 10°C lower (57) than last year. This is after keeping everything else constant.
I got a PhD in computer science and considered going into academia, though I ultimately decided against it because there is only so much scratching and clawing that I am willing to do.

I was a decent researcher and to be honest, not having tenure at an good institution at all (as opposed to two tier TT and non-TT jobs) would have been kind of a plus. I probably would have gotten tenure, but I got so damned sick of chasing yet another brass ring. I don't have tenure at my current industry job (it does pay better, granted) and I don't worry about this at all. I do my job well enough that I don't really worry about getting fired.

What I cared about: quality of the institution (conferences, publications, collaborators, students, facilities), location, department, subarea expertise, service burden, reciprocal respect, salary that buys you a decent life, and ample opportunity to be successful. Tenure? That's nice, but the main advantage cited for it (ability to say controversial things) is long gone anyway. Profs gotta behave themselves regardless.
virus is second-declension neuter (genitive singlular viri, not *viroris), therefore the plural should be vira, as recommended by Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/virus#Latin
Wouldn't that require implementing a terminal emulator inside vim?
I would also assume multiple brewings will see caffeine levels drop off sharply.

I suffer from chronic insomnia, and I certainly didn't notice the afternoons and evenings spent on a pot of good oolong to be any worse than the same with herbal or rooibos.
I wouldn't mind them being banned as well. However, outlawing alcohol has been unsuccessful in history.
I mean…using desktop Linux in the first place is already an incredibly harsh qualifier. macOS and even Windows (+ WSL) are no doubt serving the needs of many people that need a *nix environment for their work, and eating into the percentage of people that would otherwise push for Linux to be supported by their employer, or use it at home. That and the ubiquity of containerised workloads.

It’s really not outside the realm of reason for the subset of those people that want to use Windows for something other than playing video games is small enough for there to not be the base level of interest needed for this stuff to get off the ground.
Pity that _using_ telegram is a frustrating, spam filled messaging experience. Nothing nets me as much annoying automated spam as simply having an account there. More frustratingly, disabling messages from unknown contacts doesn’t appear to be a feature.
Entire product ranges are sold from China with terrible documentation, but still sell. Somehow the people who write those get paid, so I assume there’s a massive range of professional skill levels.

I hope Chinese manual writers are currently using ChatGPT for new products. Surely this problem stops now. If not, filling that gap is an opportunity for someone.
They want quality but cheap, we'll be fun to watch how they complain to an AI if the results don't satisfy.
Regardless of how cool this is, which I truly think, won't this "break" tons of apps and tools? NTFS and (V)FAT(32) arent't case sensitive and I have seen tons of projects which will fopen file.xy regardless if the file was created as File.xy or fIle.xy or FILE.xy.... (you get the picture).

So you mean a new hot [mostly misunderstood but accessible] technology is the new hot [but mostly misunderstood but accessible] technology.

People would speak of "the net" c. 1999 similarly, like it was this nebulous creature rising up off its operating table! I guess we say "cloud" now so maybe nothing's changed.
You raise a good point - victimless crimes should not be punished. However, when someone is distributing drugs, I'd argue that is a crime with victims. The person buying it is not doing it out of their own free will, but out of addiction.
In the Beyond All Reason (still "alpha") RTS, the game itself is only a couple Go, but maps are downloaded on the fly, because downloading all of the featured ones would take a dozen Go.
You're right, Mexico would be a better place to launch rockets from. You want to be close to the equator, and on an east coast so you can launch rockets over the water and avoid dropping boosters on people. Rockets generally are launched to the east to take advantage of Earth's rotation (we're all moving about 1,000 mph to the east, so launching west requires about 2,000mph extra Delta v). SpaceX is a USA company, and I believe their rocket technology is considered a government secret and must stay in the USA. So that's why SpaceX themselves aren't putting launch pads in Mexico.

Also I believe equatorial orbits are still possible to achieve from USA launch sites, it just means more fuel/ reduced payload.

Interestingly, the James Webb telescope was launched from French Guiana, which is almost right on the equator.

Also Israel is one of the few countries that regularly launches their rockets to the west, as they only have a West Coast.
Eh? The fact that people have exchanged trillions of “real” dollars for them means precisely that’s what they are worth lol.
Amazon photos app can just backup photos from ios. Take a look at their background upload.
Yeah. Screw Microsoft for not supporting a file system with a rounding error desktop user base.
'Virus' is a neuter second-declension noun, while 'corpus' and 'tempus' are third-declension nouns. So, if you want to use 'virus' in plural maybe the best form is 'vira'.
The main question is 'who is in charge?' for the decisions. Who gets punished with no bonus and a bad reputation or even go bankrupt if a company dies?

Same responsibility barrier exists for the driverless cars adoption.

In short, most people feel themselves better (if they even think about it) if a person is in charge and taking responsibility of bad decisions. Someone who will either die with them of will go to prison if thinga go bad.

Probably the same is for the pilotless airplanes: the first bad accident can ruin it.
I are both, really
Freelancers like this are hired to produce spam content that is basically keyword stuffing. They are not hired to create a literary masterpiece. In that context "never hired a writer better than ChatGPT" is not surprising at all.
I've found it depends on the mate.

The current bag I have, Rosamonte brand, seems to require freshly boiled, right out of the kettle water to get a good extraction.

The last bag I had was bitter if you used just boiled water, you had to let it go down in temp a bit to get a good brew.

I should probably buy a bunch of mates and check the dates to see if that's a variable I've not accounted for. Usually I know how to deal with a bag of it after making the first drink.
Any large player can move markets albeit not like the Alameda scam. In Coinbase's case, listing a coin can be a big deal. However, I've tried to time those new listings and it doesn't seem to do too much re: value.
Yes, it's very thorough and even then there's still more ground to cover when you get this detailed.
> Men are at a greater risk of dying from covid-19 than women, a gap that cannot be explained by rates of infection or preexisting conditions.

I noticed during the worst parts of the pandemic in the US that the people who decided to not try to do anything to avoid getting it and if they did get it didn't take it seriously were much more likely to be male.

That might explain some of the difference. (Although then it raises the question of why males were more likely to ignore COVID).

> More men die of diabetes than women.

Obesity seems to be a pretty strong contributor to becoming diabetic. Too much excess body fat seems to be a particular aspect of obesity that is involved.

I wonder if women get an advantage here because a healthy female body has a higher body fat percentage than does a health male body? As a man becomes obese and puts on excess fat, the percentage of excess fat will be going up faster than the percentage of excess fat in a woman who is becoming obese and putting on excess fat.

> The cancer mortality rate is higher among men.

I wish they'd have gone into more detail. First, a breakdown by cancer type would be useful. Some cancer risk is associated with behavior, such as lung cancer with smoking. Males are more likely to smoke. Another example would be skin cancer, which is associated with UV exposure. I think males are more likely to have jobs that require being outside all day on high UV days.

Second, I'd have liked to also see the rates for getting cancer rather than just the mortality rate. There are two ways males can have a higher death rate from cancer X than females.

One is that males and females get X at the same rate, but males with X die at a higher rate than females. That would suggest there might be something wrong with how we handle X in males.

The other way is that males get X at higher rate than females, but people with X die at about the same rate regardless of sex. If that's the case then it is how people get X that we need to look it.
Certain features (like case-insensitivity) already do break compatibility, as I found out the hard way trying to get GRUB to boot from an ext4 filesystem with said features enabled.
> Not necessarily that ChatGPT output is bad, but a lot of the copy has a similar, generic, "college essay" feel to it.

So it's just like the output of these traditional media articles.
Start small, and use compromises. Don't try to be completely phonetic, which won't work for the reasons you mentioned.

You can start by undoing misguided spelling reforms of the past. "Debt" used to be spelled "det" but due to incorrectly inferred etymology it was changed to be non-phonetic. There are many words like these.

Then look for major inconsistencies where a cluster of letters is pronounced more than one way, and simplify one of them. For example, "ough" is pronounced as in "tough" more often than as in "though". Change "tough" to be spelled as "tuff" and "rough" as "ruff".

Going further, embrace text/informal writing and use tho, altho, nite, tonite, etc. Although the last two are not necessary since "ight" is pretty consistent. Keep common clusters of letters so that it still looks like English. Do it in in stages over a 100 years , making changes every 15 years or so. I'm mostly aiming at ease of reading vs ease of writing.
It's a statistical statement, so it's very easy for it to be correct.

A subgroup is either more X, less X, the same X to the limits of testing, or has too complicated a relation with X to fit into the above.

The only "absolute" aspects are things like the median and deviation. No positions are being pushed to the extreme.

Even better, "no more" covers both "less" and "same", so it's even easier for a statement like that to be correct.
What's the point of using Prolog? I like it.

I mean, I don't have any rational reasons. I could try to find some but I'd just be rationalising. The things that most people consider advantages or disadvantages, I couldn't care less about. Take declarativeness for example- writing declarative code is just not something I care deeply about. Nor is being able to run code both ways. I don't care about that stuff. I just like writing my code in Prolog [1].

Of course, if you do care about being able to code declaratively, or logically, then Prolog is your best chance. Prolog is maybe 90% purely declarative. You can write your programs so they run in all modes easily maybe 60% of the time. Try getting anywhere close to either of that in any other language. The reason people oversell Prolog with "you can run your code backwards" is that you can do that at all in Prolog, but not in other languages.

As to "make your programs as close to logic as possible" - well, you can't. Logic is not a programming paradigm. Logic programming is. FOL says nothing about programs. Logic programming does. FOL doesn't even say anything about proofs. That's how logic works: you have your clean and tidy syntax rules and everything else is semantics.

Now, Logic Programming, that's a semantics for FOL on computers. Like I say in another comment, logic programming begins and ends with Robinson's Resolution principle [2]. That's the theory of logic programming, or in any case Resolution-based logic programming (hi ASP folks!). Prolog is an implementation of Resolution. The implementation is not perfect, but I'm fine with that, as long as I know I can count on the theory to be well-formed. If the theory is good, the implementation can do whatever it likes. At some point, if there is a real need, someone will come up with a better one. So far, I don't see anyone making a better Resolution implementation than Prolog. So I don't think it's needed. I think Prolog is just fine the way it is.

[1] Not just Prolog, of course. Then again, last time I had to write a substantial bit of Python I found, to my horror, that I have turned to the proverbial FORTRAN programmer who can write FORTRAN in any language; except s/FORTRAN/Prolog/g. By which I mean my Python code looked just like my Prolog code. I may have lost the ability to write anything but Prolog, after writing almost all my stuff in Prolog for the last five years or so. Well at least it didn't happen with R...

[2] I know that is a disservice to all the people who worked on automated theorem proving and logic programming before and after Robinson, but I'm going through a bit of a phase where I am in awe of what Robinson achieved, and I think of him as the god of logic programming, more or less. I'll get over it.
Other games have 'start with partial download' technology. In fact, the core tech of the team that eventually created Valve's Steam was downloading assets on-the-fly so that you could start playing a game before everything was downloaded.

I worked on Guild Wars 2, which has this feature. I made a first prototype of it that streamed all content on-the-fly. It's pretty easy to implement - you have an abstraction that asynchronously loads a file off of the disk, and you can just make that download from the network instead.

The tricky part is when you want to ensure all the assets are there for a specific area before you load in, or simply knowing what order to download things in. For example, there was a starter area of Guild Wars 2 that spawned monsters from many other areas, this meant that the manifest of what was needed was enormous for that area.

So the 'playability' threshold becomes a trade-off between game experience (assets popping in as you play) and quick entry.
It's so different from game to game, some games are still only a couple Go despite having "4k" graphics...
Gravity couples with anything that carries energy (in more precise terms with the energy-momentum tensor). Photons carry energy. Therefore there is interaction between photons and gravity. In particular, you can write Feynman diagrams for the interaction between a quanta of gravity (a graviton) and a photon. Some of the simplest ones look like this:

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Tree-level-Feynman-diagr...

There you can see different ways in which a pair of gravitons can interact leading to a pair of photons. If you want to dig deeper in the math behind it: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/335917/how-do-i-...

Regarding Hawking radiation, it's not gravity itself that causes it. It's a consequence of the existence of an event horizon. In fact, you can have a similar effect in flat spacetime (i.e. no gravity), an accelerating observer will see an event horizon and it will feel itself immersed in a thermal bath of particles at certain temperature that has to do with its acceleration. This is called the Unruh effect. Further reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unruh_effect

>It slows everything down dramatically

How slower is it really? MySQL automically creates indexes for foreign keys so I don't think it slows down "dramatically", just an additional indexed retrieval?

Do you know of any benchmarks which show the difference?
My area was computer science and from my personal experience I saw a lot of what you're talking about. These people are hyper competitive and sunk a good chunk of their young adult life in this stuff. It is at that part a big part of their identity. There are easier things to do, it's not like tenure at a state university salary is some big prize for someone who is competitive at a top department--they have the smarts and drive to have much better salary and plenty of job security elsewhere.

I knew plenty of people who were total maniacs after tenure, it made no difference. Lots of people slowed down a little, but only because they were so fried.

Most research I've observed is still safe and boring (IMHO) because it's more likely to land papers and grants. No one uses their tenure to really do anything daring hardly--you can't, you'd fuck your students. They still need publications! So we were all in a never-ending publishing grind. With or without tenure it never ends so long as you still have students and care about their future.

You know all on chain data is visible, right?

1. NFT platforms usage volume. OS is down below 5,000 users [0]

2. Arbitrum airdrop to 625k wallets. Most users have multiple wallets. I got airdrops on 3 different wallets. Some friends sybilled this to over 100 wallets. Actual unique wallets not more than 100k. Even free money can't entice people to use this. [1]

3. $PEPE total holders: 35,000. Exclude bots and multiple wallets and that's not more than 15k actual users. Hottest memecoin that shit up to $150M mcap in four days. [2]

4. USDT daily unique senders/receivers - under 80,000. This doesn't exclude bots, exchanges, smart contracts, and users with multiple wallets (I have 8 wallets). You also can't go more mainstream or "utility" than this coin. Real unique daily users are probably under 30k. [3]

Exchange users are immaterial. They're just traders and investors buying the next cycle of trash. Actual usage metrics are on-chain users.

This is being pitched as the next Visa but in reality, the network slows to a crawl even when it has to serve 10-20k real users. Meanwhile, Visa is able to serve literally hundreds of millions of users every month.
