Elo != ELO.

One is a rating system named after the creator, Arpad Elo. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

The other is a rock band that was formed in 1970. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Light_Orchestra

We also have to consider that the art and visual design for this game would have been done with primarily Rasterization and traditional RT in mind. Adding the path tracing may or may not generate the most aesthetic look as it was not optimized for that in the first place.
Yes, quite a convenient lie if you ask me. Why try to address abuse and mistreatment when you can label it character-building!?
also this doesn't take into account the duration gap between the assets and the liabilities.
Also In cloud environments, I would much rather trust an eBPF program, than a kernel module.
The Free Software Foundation has been advocating for such a right for decades.
> without those annoying team planning/documentation meetings, work will get duplicated, done hastily, done with no discussion or thought toward testing, architecture, maintainability

I don't see why that is necessarily the case. It certainly didn't happen on the Kanban teams I've led. Maintaining the backlog and reviewing the work in progress is just as important in Kanban as in any other process.
The problem I think I’m not conveying correctly is human to human discovery is made easier with communication hubs like SO. With something like an LLM if that reduces the viability for economically running a site like SO. Is there a gap or period where we don’t see that easy human to human communication? Eventually new generated content from a human has to enter the loop until the AI is up to a level where it can replace humans, but if we see less and less human generated content being viable then we have a clear chicken or the egg problem for new training data
Ye padding estimates and report time according to the estimate to make the burn down chart straight was what I learned to do when Scrum was forced on my team for no good reason at all.

-"It is impossible to do accurate estimates"

-"You will get better at it"

I wonder if the Scrum Master knew that in the end "get better" is "starting to cheat".

Do anyone else share this experience?
You are missing the point. Sorry for that.

It doesn't matter if an email has a valid format: that says almost nothing about it's validity. The only way you can be sure an address can receive mail(today) is by sending mail to it. All the rest is theatre.

And all this only matters if the business cares about deliverability in the first place.
As a SO user/contributor, the reduction of traffic is actually great news. The adoption of tools like ChatGPT and Github Co-Pilot did do is filter out repetitive questions and eliminating basic inquiries that have been answered countless times. This mean that the posts will more likely foster genuine discussions around unique, specific use cases that automated tools may not be able to address. This will help elevate the quality of content and promote intellectual conversations among our community members.

I don't see SO as just merely a repository. It's also a networking and collaborative channel, that may not be apparent to users who just drop by to get quick answers. The reduction of traffic would thus finally refocus SO back to this.
I too have a small team that built a greenfield application that generates about $100M annually for a large hotel chain. Serverless allowed us to get to market fast and everyone in the team is a feature developer — 0 infra folks. I think that’s the biggest value we have been able to derive from this compared all the other internal App teams who struggle with release cadences, experimentation and TTV.

But I fully acknowledge this is not the ideal and optimal setup and we are paying more to AWS on the OpEx. However, we have gone 3 years without any downtime at full speed, and the fact that we were able to unlock net new revenue very quickly has made all project costs and OpEx very minuscule.

But I think once the application boundaries stabilize and we are able to take a breather from full on feature development, hope to migrate some of this to simpler containerized infrastructure.

To make this transition easier, we use Serverless-framework and decouple the app component architecture from deployment architecture, so developers don’t worry whether this is getting deployed to a lambda or container.
TOTP is already importable, exportable, cross-device, and works across managers.
Check the Google when you make a new acronym brand. If there are no significant search results and you can pronounce it, and get the domain, congratulations, you have a brand. Might have to be 5 letters or longer though.
> WHY was so much fraud possible during the pandemic (and possibly other times) in the first place. Is it possible this is because the departments responsible are normally understaffed and when handling a pandemic surge had zero ability to scale up?

Ah yes, of course! The solution to our dysfunctional bureaucracy is to... add more people to it!
Sam Altman might think it’s over but the value proposition for his employees has just changed significantly and the consequences of that change is yet to be seen.
Hardware decoders tend to be less resilient than software decoders, since they’re tuned for the most common case but fail at more esoteric scenarios.

So I doubt this would change anything to that effect.
I think the difference is the user's type: if a programmer is looking for code, sans any learning interest, then ChatGPT is handsdown the optimal choice; just get an solution, do copy-pasta and move who. If one is looking to learn, then I think SO is better. I've personally found the lazier devs jumping to ChatGPT as they are not interested in learning or asking smart questions [0].

Where can I follow your progress on this?
It's like Kentucky Fried Chicken rebranding itself KFC.
I'd like to know this too. Its concievable that most new web content would be output from an LLM so it would just be feeding on itself. That precise outcome will never quite happen as people will transform and validate this output. However, I see sense in a general worry that people "won't bother" if LLMs can do it all easier than a person. Conversely I also see the potential for it to bootstrap for even greater potential human expression, learning and applied thought.
Yes, predictability is better for business, but business also needs to accept that there are limits to the amount of predictability you can achieve in software development, and trying to force too much process is only going to predictably increase delivery time. In my experience, working with high level estimates which you keep updating from time to time is the best compromise.
This is called mechanical sympathy and most architects and developers do not have it.

Computer architectures encompass 13 orders of magnitude of performance! That's roughly the difference between something like a trivial function call processing data in L1 cache to a remote call out to something in another region.

People often make relatively "small" mistakes of 3 or 4 orders of magnitude, which is still crazy if you think about it, but that's considered to be a minor sin relative to making the architecture diagram look pretty.
No "everyone has an agenda" doesn't mean disagrees with me. This is history, it has alwaus been used tp push agenda by sone historians and it's easily verifiable and quite obvious if you study the topic without bias.
and yet that power has been tamed, dulled, to the point where they can do even less with it

He made the right choice. the world will adapt, eventually.

I'd be willing to bet IPv6 wont be the last network upheaval we'll have as a civilization. (assuming we dont wipe ourselves out first)

What do you think will happen if we generate some really really big AI, and they realize that they'll be super reliable if we made every synapse have its own IP, then we network all the AI's together as each AI to behave as its own synapse node :-D

The point wasn't that you should use PHP, it was to not jump on stack trends. There is a name for your kind of fallacy.
I have seen a very predictable scrum, but the tradeoffs with productivity were comical. In this very large corporation, most developers could do most of the tasks in their 2 week sprints in 3 days of actual work. But they don't know if they are going to get 3 days of actual work, or some other team is going to keep master broken for a week. Therefore, your typical sprint involves mostly fictional standup updates, as to make sure that, when things go more than a little too well, the shameful levels of sandbagging aren't visible in jira or in git.

If you ask me, that level of predictability is a poor tradeoff, but hey, it's the same kind of organization that decides that SAFe scrum is a serious methodology.
Isn't that called a backronym?
Even on Android phones, but I thought my meaning was clear. A lot of people don't even have a PC in their house anymore.
How does one get a blue sky account? I requested one. All I see is people offering to sell you one. That seems terrible.
This is how I've been feeling but I'm assuming there's more to this that I just don't know.

I keep thinking, what if we:
1. Use domains/subdomains as usernames by just... having the content on them.

2. Follow a truly basic structure for index (feed), single post, etc. so that clients know how to consume them easily.

3. For interactions (replies, likes, etc), the client posts them to your own server (or service hosting you) and they're available at a url referencing the original post url on their own domain. ex) mydomain.com/replies/thepostsurl/1

4. It then posts the reply url to the original posts server endpoint, which can accept or not.

5. When a user loads the post, it lists the replies and interactions as a list of links. the client goes and gets their content directly, and renders it.

This would work without any servers actually having to talk to each other or store more than a link for interactions. If you want to confirm the interaction url on receiving a submission, your server could check but it doesn't need to store or cache it.

Am I crazy or would this not work just fine? or, is this what activity pub already is?

That's always the bind.

- If it fails: welp, we were right to not spend months on this discussion.

Did you miss the part in the original article about "an additional 0.3 percent each year after that until the loan is fully repaid"? Do you have a source that rebuts that, or are you just conveniently omitting that because you want to minimize the problem? Stop repeating this misleading factoid to try to make it seem like this is just some Republican think tank inventing a problem to make the Democratic government in California look bad.

$18.5 billion is $18.5 billion regardless of how thinly you slice it. California does not have the ~billion employees it would take to pay of the loan in one year. Then there's interest, presumably. Defaulting on a huge loan, while allowing tens of billions more in fraud, is irresponsible government.
Is it specifically human-human contact thats required to generate new insights or document things? I see no major distinction between that and human-LLM contact (aside from awe) or simply an intelligence pusuing a goal by itself for that matter.
No? Maybe if they reach human levels of sensory and cognition. For example, again, my FairPlay problem. On iOS 16 there is a timing issue when DRM can be ingested, but this isn’t documented from apple and it is kind of a rare problem. If I ask Bing right now, which is connected to the internet. It gives you links to a human stackoverflow. How would an LLM know about this timing issue? The source code looks fine, there is no compiler error, there are no crashes. There IS sometimes just a video that is not playable in AVPlayer.

How does an LLM with an LLM community solve that?
Why not stress the argument further and say server "concats" http strings or sql strings? It's because of the nonsense from the web platform that inefficient text-based transports such as json became prevalent in the back-end btw.
No login is required to try.
Just use Aegis on mobile - it allows import/export. And add the TOTPs to a gpg encrypted pass vault on desktop/laptop.
You need to paste a Google Docs URL with permission level of Anyone can view.
Or because they knew their "power-users," as in people with laptops and iPad Pros, would prefer USB-C. They probably wanted to keep control over accessories on the iPhone not only for straight up financial reasons, but also to make sure "it just works."

Anyways, USB-C is obviously technically more advanced - but it doesn't really matter for phones much, does it? Most people only ever transfer data on their phones from/to the cloud.
Thanks for sharing! I totally forgot about that game, despite playing it for hours.
I believe one reason is because it’s completely unnecessary. Like the rektide also mentioned people are unwilling to “give up control”.

Many people see large corporations and because we’re the “21st century” believe that everything that is made should be the best or is somehow the most advanced thing and therefore should be far superior. Unfortunately that couldn’t be farther from the truth in many ways.

Items made are often times just pushed out there because they want to be the first at a growing market, without really really caring what the best for the consumer is. They want wants best for their pocketbooks, what turns a profit and positions them as the leader in the minds of the masses. Security is usually an afterthought. Actual need and what’s best for humanity is even further down in that list.

Feeding big data machines will never be what’s best for individuals needs
Good to know, thanks. Out of interest, why do you dislike Go's design philosophy? I can guess, but I'm interested to hear your take.
If Apple's bank defaults on it's customers deposits, I'm pretty sure he would.

He's talking about tying the executives compensation to bank outcomes. It's called skin-in-the-game, and it's a value he's espoused for his entire career.

The point is that moral-hazard is a big part of why these banks collapse. Executive compensation is tied to the value of the company on the way up, but not on the way down... which obviously creates a dynamic where executives are willing to take massive risks because they're basically playing with their investors' money.
Thy mostly do that with their most popular first party titles. There are a lot of games that have never been released on other platforms.

Some MGS series games have been released on one platform only and those platforms are no longer supported.

If you want to play something like MGS: Twin Snakes legally you have to find a used copy somewhere (and hope that the discs haven't been damaged) and get the original console (and hope that the hardware isn't faulty) to either play the game on it or dump the game somehow. (Dumping might not be legal everywhere). Or you can just sail the high seas and play it on your PC.

I doubt that anyone is going to port less known games to modern systems any time soon.
This should get you started: https://haystack.deepset.ai/tutorials/22_pipeline_with_promp...
User reviews improving somewhat due to an aggressive post-release marketing campaign (mostly revolving around the anime) doesn't really change the fact that the game is still missing many of the features promised before launch.

> I can implement a scheme that passes most test suites using vectors instead of linked lists, would you not consider it a lisp?

My Symbolics Lisp Machine has a Lisp implementation where some form of vectors are an optimization of lists (-> CDR coding). But that's an implementation detail. For most purposes the thing behaves as it uses linked lists - and even has primitive operators for linked lists as CPU instructions.

CLISP, another Lisp implementation, has its own virtual machine, written in C. There too, CAR, CDR, CONS are primitive operations in the VM:

[1]> (defun foo (list) (cons (cdr list) (car list)))
FOO
[2]> (disassemble #'foo)

Disassembly of function FOO
1 required argument
0 optional arguments
No rest parameter
No keyword parameters
5 byte-code instructions:
0 (LOAD&CDR&PUSH 1)
2 (LOAD 2)
3 (CAR)
4 (CONS)
5 (SKIP&RET 2)

For me Lisp means more than parentheses or some vague idea of a language "family". It's a language, a bunch of implementations which have a similar core (data structures, operators) and which share code. These languages tend to have the name 'Lisp' in their language.

Then there is this meaning that Lisp is a very diverse group of languages bases on largely undefined criteria. Like C is a member of the ALGOL language family.

That's the "Lisp family": It includes JavaScript/ECMAScript, Dylan, Clojure, Scheme, Racket, R, SKILL... Some have s-expressions, some not. Some use linked lists, some not. Some are object-oriented, some not. And so on.

But for practical purposes it's meaningless: if I want to know about how a particular Scheme construct works, I would look into a Scheme documentation (or its particular implementation), not into a Lisp book.

Scheme, Clojure, .. all have their own language family by now: there are language definitions, a bunch of similar implementations, shared code, books, ...

It's also funny how people claim that language X is a Lisp, as if that would mean something "special" or even "better". There are lots of excellent and useful programming languages out there, which are not Lisp.
Real benefit is streamlining production. Sure, some scenes benefit from path tracing more than others, when it matters, it's very noticable. But IMO consistently noticable image quality improvements occures when light bounces start stacking up, more than the 1-2 bounces real time currently runs on, which is preproduction tier quality for ray/path traced visualization. Artists/traditional rendering methods can fake the feel of 1-2 bounces pretty close, but once you crank up the rays and materials, the difference gets staggering.

>IQ statistics without using them as a pseudo-scientific fig leaf to justify genocide

I haven't seen a single IQ researcher who uses their research to advocate genocide. Got any links for proof?
That's just how those vendors implemented it. There's nothing stopping you from using the TOTP apps that support the import/export functionality, as it's just strings, no secret sauce.
I like this a lot. It also addresses (maybe even solves?) the moderation issue, which is the harriest problem to solve when content is centralized.

These free AWS credits are nothing but a free first dose of heroin you get from a dealer. It's only intended to put you on the hook, unable to quit because of too much investment made, and force you spend, spend and spend on incredibly overpriced infrastructure that burns at least 5x and sometimes 50x more than dedicated hosting costs.

Just never use any clouds. Never consider them. There are no upsides. No exceptions. Clouds are always a scam.
That's the point, humans don't. Why call them hostile to you if you are wasting their time

By the way low grade stuff doesn't mean a basic question, it just means a question that shows no effort made to read, comprehend, understand, research. Pretty sure I came out fair bit more resourceful and fluid-intelligent thanks to SO rules...
You can remap it back.
Not to defend them, just FYI
It doesn't matter what methodology is used. The most heavily weighted factor by far is whether the product owner and managers understand the implementation details well enough to keep estimates accurate and mitigate scope creep.
Let's pirate, because, unfortunately it's the best way to preserve the old stuff, because copyright holders mostly don't give a damn about preservation.

Piracy is harmful short term, but absolutely necessary long term.
This is cool!

A possible extension to HTMX would be to allow this kind of offloading to pure JS functions instead of requiring hacky intercepts.

You would still have a clear separation of responsibilities between frontend rendering (by the browser only) and application logic (which only generates HTML as output).

If I were to write something in a Wikipedia article and some bad grammar or word choice slipped in, I'd be thrilled that someone else would correct it for me. Not for me, but for everyone.

It's not like traditional published works don't go through an editing process. Part of the point of that editing process is there to fix language usage issues.

Also I think "because they don't like a phrase" is a bit of an uncharitable description of what they're doing. You may think it's silly or pedantic, but it's not for us to decide (or even pass judgment on) what other people choose to do with their spare time. I'm sure you and I both have hobbies or whatever that others might think are silly wastes of time (like commenting on HN about silly things like this).
