My take is that it boils down to insane requirements from the buyer and yes-men sellers.

I'd say it's more like Brawlhalla, where you move and fight on a classic platform arena, which in turn is similar to the very successful Super Smash Bros. So Fish Folk is now like these, but open source.
How the f can you have such a big mortgage, with a variable interest rate, and sleep at night ?

I'm french, and everyone I know has a fixed interest rate. dont know if it is mandatory, but God, I am so glad that my interest rate will never spike.
Pretty sure organic vs non-organic is a textbook definition of a dichotomy...
During my university days, I did a thesis project looking at antimicrobial resistance in sheep populations in Ontario, Canada. I have an impressive story about dogs protecting sheep flocks.

I was on a big sheep farm (1100-1500 sheep) that was divided amongst 3 pastures. The farm probably had 20-30 Great Pyrenees dogs that guarded the flocks. Without any human intervention or training, they would divide themselves amongst the 3 pastures. One "sentinel" dog would travel between the pastures (through other fields and properties) and somehow communicate with the other dogs. When one flock would experience an increase in coyote attacks, this sentinel dog would go to the other flocks and retrieve some additional dogs and "fortify" the flock with the attacks. After the coyote learned not to mess with this flock, the dogs would then naturally redistribute themselves amongst the flocks again.

I have another great story about a "sheep in sheeps clothing" that's pretty cool. Happy to share if people are interested.

Even if volatile was absolutely all you needed, why would the committee build a memory model with a nice API and then force you to sprinkle in volatile? It makes absolutely no sense.

It's probably the unstated implication that because the argument may share some similarities to religious principals it can be straightforwardly dismissed as having no value.

This assumes that both religion has no value, and that things resembling religion, possibly in any way, have no value.

This is unrigorous, because a lot of things resemble religion generally or specific religious practice in various ways and have value despite or sometimes because of that resemblance. And annoying also because a lot of people find value in their religious beliefs and it's petty to dismiss that common experience.
Modern tastes have less tolerance for slower pacing.

I grew up watching movies with slower paces (born 1980), but some of those I also have issues watching unless I'm in the right frame of mind. I think in part it's just we've gotten used to information overload, and thus expect the faster pacing.

That said... What I really like about the original is that it has that classic look and feel of 70's sci-fi. The white paneling and bright lights on the space ships, the grainy film, red and orange stripes on things, etc.
Maybe, but not legally.
Prompt Hijacking for ChatGPT Web Browsing
Probably best to keep away from my favourite 70s sci-fi then: Tarkovsky’s Stalker. There’s real beauty / bravery in multi-minute lingering shots, but when a single zoom-out-and-in shot is long enough for a rain shower to start up and finish before the shot concludes, while the characters sit looking morose and not saying anything, then it’s probably not for you.

The Case for Use.GPU – Reinventing rendering one shader at a time
This is the absolute last thing I care about. If they didn't have to be part of the experience I'd rather they not be. Using human language to convey what you want is, at best, an inconvenience. It is slow and error prone. There's no reason they need to take my order.
I still find examples using the macros all over the place. It is unfortunate that is still the case...
You pay more money for a fixed interest rate.
Julia has some pretty swell cross-GPU packages. I was really hoping that it would catch on in the ML community, but I think we're past that point: the inferior solution has more momentum.
There’s no way to inspect whether or not a VPN logs IPs, and even if the exit IPs are shared, the VPN necessarily knows that your IP connected to some remote IP and can log that information irrespective of the exit node. As for the cost of log storage, we’re talking about 64 bits of data per connection—you can log a billion connections for less than $0.25 per month.
I tried a simple prompt hijacking for the web browsing plugin. Seems the plugin respects the possible prompts inside web pages.

I don’t understand why people keep their money inside these platforms. Surely if you are getting a lot of money, you should be depositing it in your bank regularly?
There are negative externalities beyond the cost of electricity. Installing and maintaining rail, land disruption, wasted human life-hours, etc. all impose internalized and externalized costs.
Not from what I know. The high energy costs are due to a effective and possible felt scarcity which occured at the beginning of the war in Ucraine.

The energy companies are now planing to reduce the costs with as much as 25% from next month, since the marked is now flooded with gas and renewables ( a lof of new wind parks and solar installation will go online the next month ).

I honestly I do not know why the interest rates went up. If someone can explain the correlation with the energy price, please do.
This happened everywhere that the Soviet Union "spread" to. Churches were demolished, desecrated, or burned. Some were re-purposed, but many were destroyed.
Yeah but they can't do it now and not for quite a while. And even then, what is the replacement speed. And how does it compare to how fast the US can take out China space based internet.
it's less "customisation" than "implementation". they're not changing core code in the system, they're just writing all the config and the workflow apps on top. this is the case for any large organisation, whatever the ERP. And even more the case for a local government that is trying to use a tool designed for industry
"The UK's biggest city council faces £100M bill in Oracle ERP project disaster". There's really no need to rope in the whole continent for a specific thing in a specific country. The fact that they're the biggest local authority by population in Europe is really not relevant to anything that's happening here.
I rather like the fremium model, where basic use is free and you pay for the API or high-res. 2MP isn't bad, that's about 1400x1400, but I'd like to see 1500 ot 2000, personally. I think they'll have a tough time transitioning to paid-only.

Credits are annoying, but no one has really cracked micropayments--it's too expensive to take $1 payments.

I like how replicate does it, just take a card and bill for usage, then you can decide to just comp it or defer the charges when usage is low.

Going local is fun and practical for hobby use, but for business use an API makes more sense. Let someone else deal with hardware.
The issue seems to be they can't shut down the hydro generation because of the flooding.

While what you say about "coal/gas etc" is true, it's easier to reduce nuclear power generation than to lower the water levels.

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_Finland says coal+oil+gas make up only 5.5% of electricity production in Finland last year. Hydro is 16.3%, wind 14.1%, and nuclear 29.6%. Wind production also doesn't lose by staying online.

This reactor, which just went online this month, once in full operation, "will supply about 14% of Finland's energy at 1,650 megawatts" - https://en.mercopress.com/2023/05/22/finland-connects-nuclea... .

I'm guessing the slowdown was done in part to keep the other generation plans from losing even more money.
You’re complaining about people benefiting from your literal trash?

Pretty amazing how nonchalant you’re talking about theft. I guess the approved strategy for legal theft is as follows.

1. Create a payments company that accepts deposits and holds balances (a bank — but don’t call it that)

2. Create a broken AML algorithm that flags X% of deposits as fraud

3. Force the falsely accused to take you to court to get their money back

4. Keep the rest. Most people won’t contest

What a great “business” model.
Intel processors have a feature that protects against attacks, including Spectre
I think that's the right question that gets at the heart of the ERP mess, but it doens't have a great answer.

In theory, you should be able to have your software support the workflow that works for your specific organization, business, and context. Rather than having to change your workflow to what the machine demands as universal. The latter seems really inhumane.

In practice, it never seems to work out very well. Does _anyone_ like their ERP and it's implementation?

These products are designed around being customizable -- if they gave that up, they'd be much simpler products, which means they'd probably work a lot better (for what they are designed for, which may not be what you need, which is the problem), and be a lot cheaper (which is not necessarily in the interests of the companies that sell them -- the complexity is fine with them, as long as they can keep charging for it, including with their consultants).

It almost makes me wish yo ucould do things without software at all -- but that's a disaster too, this isn't 1970 and pretending it is doesn't work.

There's really no way out. We've built a society where you can't do this without software but the software that would be _good_ takes more skill and resources than society can possibly afford.
Thanks for kind words.

It is indeed never-ending work of improvements, and catching up with versions of pieces of software.

Even when I have done something and I like it, 2 weeks later I come back and find how it can be massively improved

Entertaining the silly argument we have gotten ourselves into: Solid food does not just fall into our stomachs normally, the processes of swallowing is quite complex and involves mechanically pushing food down through peristaltic waves in multiple phases. Liquids are another story though.

It is entirely baseless of course, but I imagine that the difference for solid foods between a the small aid of gravity, unable to make the food move on its own, and having no aid is probably significantly less than the difference between no aid and an opposing force. And yet in either case, the process of swallowing remains exactly the same, always having to force the food down with the same motion but different effort.
Jokingly, I'm surprised they didn't just send you a poop emoji.
Some people live off of cynicism and showing the world they are right at opportune moments.

There is a difference of valid criticism and cynicism though. The people who criticize because they want you to do better are those to keep open ears for. Those who are just cynics can be largely ignored.
I don't understand the confusion on this topic. One side will pay the family of a suicide bomber that murders innocent civilians, the other won't. It's not complicated.

War is ugly, but as a global society we do have some idea about the difference between combat and terrorism. Firing rockets indiscriminately into a civilian area is not combat. Hiding your guns, bombs, and bases inside of civilian buildings is not some idle decision.

The biggest losers of the Palestinian propaganda machine are the Palestinians themselves, and they are not the ones funding it. They are victims of this proxy war. It's a terrible situation, and it will continue to be terrible so long as it being a terrible situation is a precondition of the funding the terrorist governments receive. Hence, PayPal's ban.

Similar USP now, but I thought Kagi built up to it the right way by building just a few features on search engine APIs and repeatedly asking people what they would actually pay for. They also appeared not to overstaff in anticipation of future revenue.
The amazing thing is that, at current drive and major cloud egress pricing, it is still cheaper to buy, ship, and throw away a disk than to send data over the network.

AWS charges 5 cents/GB at the highest tier. That’s $50/TiB (roughly). 18 TiB out from AWS costs $900. You can buy a nice WD Red Pro 18 TiB drive from Amazon for $298, and shipping it next day is not particularly expensive.

Of course, you can’t load data onto that drive from AWS, and you won’t pay anywhere near $900 to send 18 TiB over a network from any reasonable provider.

Yes, because getting older is associated with cancer. If you don't eat, you don't get older (paradoxically calorie restriction is associated with longevity).
I haven't been on projects of this size, but with many of our customers a big issue is that the decisions are taken by people sufficiently high up in the organization that they don't know what's really going on, and without including key resources from lower levels to provide that insight.

In my experience it only takes one or two levels to get to that point.

Regarding the insane requirements, it's also my experience that a lot of companies think they're snowflakes, thinking they do something really special, when they're really just doing what everyone else is. For historical reasons they ended up doing it this way instead of that way and now they'd rather have the world change around them than change their ways.

I was considering cities first with this, which I realize isn't the biggest use of this water but is part of it.

> Kim Jung Un can send boats with gold bars.

Which is orders of magnitude more complex than running a SWIFT transfer, which is the entire goal of the sanctions: make it as hard as possible for the sanctioned country to do anything. Everyone knows and we've seen it over the last years that it is possible to evade any sanction - hell, even over many decades like Cuba - but it is a serious incentive for any government to do as told.

> Meanwhile I can't send money without the bank asking me 'what ya gonna do with "your" money little friend?'

Most of that bullshit comes from the "war on drugs" and "war on sex work" which are completely different beasts than international sanctions, and I think we can agree on both of these being ripe for the scrap heap.

In my experience, with these types of project, 20% of the error is on useless partners, 80% on useless clients, who have no knowledge of how their current system works, are not willing to compromise on any existing features (because it's always easier to say "no" than to try and convince others to say "yes"), and don't really care about the migration one way or the other, because they weren't really asked in the first place

A low self esteem from constant insults (aka non-constructive or overly harshly presented critique) or lack of encouragement will kill anybody's ability to accept useful feedback, and people can certainly become numb to that.

However, that numbness is different than being unaccustomed to taking useful critique without getting defensive. Which is absolutely a learned skill– one of the most important you learn early in art school. Someone unaccustomed to any critique, or only used to complimentary feedback will bristle at any criticism.

Someone used to constructive critique will still bristle at insults, intentional or not, so the EQ of the critic in delivering the message is also critical. The biggest enemy here are people who think that their criticism can be as rude, pedantic, or imperious as they want if the core point is valid. That might provide comparable results for the issue at hand, a) but human beings don't deserve to be treated like that, and b) it kills morale, which kills productivity, quality, retention, etc. It blows my mind how many fully-grown adults can't see that they're only quieting their own insecurities with unnecessary harshness, and that they're essentially stealing self-esteem from the team by indulging that urge.

Having people on your team with poor enough mental hygiene that they need to position themselves above someone else to feel good is a serious problem. I think it's one of the things people really mean when they talk about overly macho bro types or neckbeards.

While I agree that these would be in a lower orbit, if they are low enough that debris would fall quickly then so would satellites. Debris doesn't know it's debris and so it should fall when the satellite did not.

Yes, some satellites can self-boost with ion drives giving them longer life in lower orbits, but they can't do that very often or for very long due to reaction mass limits. You're still talking about orbits where debris would last years.

The electrical consumption of the train is most likely not its largest externality-source. The largest cost might be wasted human life-hours, which used to be more or less correctly internalized but now (due to these flight bans) is not.

Your second paragraph is already known to me and consistent with my comment - not sure what you're aiming to communicate.
The beauty of Alien's story, to me, is the justified skepticism of their corporate overlords.

It creates such a terrific and engaging world while making it totally relatable and realistic.

I don't know why that isn't a common motif across all media. Even the later movies in the Alien universe seem to shy away from it now. My only thought is that the management at studios feels it's a bit too on the nose.
That's mostly due to them wrapping native widgets. They couldn't have known windows would effectively stop updating Win32 and reinvent the wheel like 5 times.

I suspect this is just a matter of style. Current style somewhat favours fast-paced action and pacing. But one can easily find counter-examples.

There are contemporary productions that are absolutely plodding -- the recent miniseries The English [1] is full of over-long shots of oblique plaintive faces looking out over the prairies. I was twiddling my thumbs at times. Admittedly, it is a contemporary Western, which is prone to that style, and it's a deliberate effect. The same kind of tension-building as in Alien, really. It's not to everyone's taste.

And there are older films that feel very fast-paced and, well, modern -- I recently watched an old Japanese yakuza film, Battles Without Honour and Humanity [2], released in 1973 now 50 years ago, and it opens with a scene cut every 20 seconds or so, just action, action, action and it never lets up. Felt like watching something released a few years ago.

Tastes come and go, but no style ever fully goes away.
