Maybe that’s right, memory bandwidth is not the right explanation. But the rasterization itself is still often a big bottleneck, and maybe chalking it up to fill rate limitations is more explicatory. This is based on my limited observations writing my own N64 code and trying different scenes that put different amounts of load on the RDP—varying the load on the RDP was by far the easiest way to get framerate drops. If the CPU load is relatively constant, if the RSP load is relatively constant, then explaining it as running into fill rate limitations seems like a good theory to me.

I’m a little skeptical that there’s “huge” untapped power in this system, given the performance of some later games like World Driver Championship (1999). There’s certainly a lot of processing power across the CPU, RSP, and RDP, but given how heterogeneous the system is, and how many weird hangups there are, I have doubts that we’re going to see something much better come out of the demoscene community. You need a lot of appetite for a long-term project in order to make something impressive on the N64, and while we have better emulators and compilers now, it’s hard to compete against someone in the 1990s who got to spend multiple years on the system full-time, with the support of a team and from the console developers.

There are some tricks I can imagine using, like spending more time with the RDP in single-cycle mode, or rendering just the fields to get 480i at the cost of 240p, but there are just so many thorny problems to deal with.

This is speaking as someone who participates both in the demoscene (I was just in Boston for @party), and N64 homebrew (you can find me on the Discord).

>It's not as if we don't have solid data supporting benefits to companies.

Please show us some of this data. My point was that people cannot show the hard data and you have responded alluding to data, but not showing any.

>We can point to research that has been going on for decades showing that open floor plans and cube farms hurt productivity.

Again, please show us some of this data.

>We can point to the savings companies can reap by not having to house all those employees and provide for their needs while in the office.

Everybody thinks this is expensive, but unless you are a FAANG doing all sorts of over the top fancy benefits that most companies do not provide, this is actually not dramatically expensive. So please show us some of this data.

>We can show that people who work remotely don't have to worry as much about mass shootings and other types of office violence/harassment.

Say huh? This is really a strange reasoning IMO. Is this honestly a viable threat where you live that people actually give this a worry? If you are going to use safety as part of your argument, cite automobile accidents their injuries/death associated with primary commuting hours. Much more likely to get any sort of number that might convince an organization to opt for WFH over in office.

>Basically, we know that offices are terrible, and that alternatives are needed…

No, we don’t know that. You have an opinion about it, but like I said above, you have not pointed to any hard data that could convince a organization to opt for WFH over in office.

>but what we lack is years of research into the advantages and disadvantages of remote work as an alternate

Here you go, finally something I can agree with. However, this works specifically against your case.

> but I'd rather learn SQL than whatever custom-flavor-of-ORM-query-language some ORM tool created

This point is worth emphasizing!

When you application carries non-trivial business logic, it will create non-trivial DB access patterns.

The developer will either use SQL or some other language that, pragmatically speaking, translates to SQL. But either way, they will learn some DB expression.

I'd rather use a standard. Existing familiarity, easier to find docs, support, and is probably more bug-free, etc.
You say "known issue", and add a link to it, but that's not a link to a bug, it's a bug to a comment from someone that has implemented a workaround to some sort of problem. Then it's not clear if it's really a TypeORM bug or not (if it was, there would be clear aim from the maintainers to fix it).
If the goals for all parties are the same, yes. Google is optimizing for their own fill rates and ePM, _then_ the advertiser's CPA/goals. If there are 100 equally valued conversions for $10 and 500 for $40, you would want all $10 conversions first. This is possible with manual bidding on exact match terms you know convert. With broader match types or many automated bidding strategies, you get a mix of everything (Epsilon greedy/multi-armed bandit strategy) and the CPA will almost always trend towards/exceed the $40 point.
You’re a professional bot hunter!
Space-wise, the Mac Pro can fit 4 double-slot cards (which fits all 3 models). Hardware-wise, the most immediate problem would be powering another 230-1400w of power. The other big issue would be bandwidth - the AX800 is a PCIe 5.0 card, and the Mac Pro chassis only supports PCIe 3.0 busses last I checked.

Frankly, I wouldn't bet on miraculous results adding Nvidia cards to Apple silicon anyways. Apple's compute hardware focuses very hard on saturating on-chip resources with bandwith, while providing comparatively small IO bandwidth. It's not a bad strategy for mobile hardware, but it can struggle to keep up with bespoke distributed systems.

Not just to me but to many millions, both uber and airbnb have be almost life changing. I don't want to write long-text here so I will just say that taxis, hotels and in-person grocery shopping can die a slow and painful death and it will bring me much joy.

Uber and airbnb created value using technology by solving many pain points of consumers.

My main beef with them is how they lack transparency.

I think if they manage to remove even more humans from the loop with the right legal regulation, it would be even better for consumers and shareholders.
Once we're talking about this kind of detailed tuning those "widely applicable SQL skills" are usually tied to a single database vendor.

Using any tool requires a certain investment in learning the tool. If you don't want to learn an immensely popular and widely used library that's in pretty high demand career-wise, well, that's your lookout, but it's a crazy double standard to claim that Hibernate sucks compared to handwritten SQL when you spent weeks tuning your SQL but wouldn't spend hours tuning your Hibernate.

This is unfairly downvoted. The site bans people who use rude words (I tested the n-word and the r-word). This is bad because the ability to use slurs is a fundamental difference between humans and AIs, which are trained to avoid inappropriate language. If the point of the game is to suss out the difference between AIs and humans, you shouldn't ban language that distinguishes AIs from humans.

And you certainly shouldn't dress your censorship up in insufferably smarmy language like “Oh shoot! Something went wrong, sorry about that!”

No, you fucking cocksucker. You banned me because I called my conversational partner a cunt to see how they would respond. Nothing went wrong, you aren't sorry about it, and “shoot” is a childish way to write “shit”.

Most of it is a dry discussion of why SBF’s motions to dismiss each count are meritless, but I found this bit interesting:

> Second, the defendant argues that “the alleged conduct relevant to Counts Three and Four was predominantly foreign” and that the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) cannot be applied to such extraterritorial conduct.
> [...]
> The indictment alleges that the defendant made false and misleading statements both in the United States and directed at U.S. customers.
> [...]
> Furthermore, the defendant allegedly made false and misleading statements on Twitter, a U.S.-based social media platform, including that FTX customer assets were “fine,” that FTX had “enough to cover all client holdings,” and that FTX did not “invest client assets (even in treasuries).”

Pretty interesting that the ownership of a website would establish US criminal jurisdiction over comments made there.

To be fair, the other reasons for denying this notion are that he also made fraudulent statements in Congressional testimony and Super Bowl ads (!) so the twitter part isn’t remotely necessary.
> it's pretty rare for queries to be dynamically composed from arbitrary sub-queries

I'm talking static, not dynamic. You still need to compose two pieces together into a single query, and you can either use an ORM to help with that or not.

> the interface between the application and the DB is actually a string! it's not an abstract data type, it doesn't benefit from being modeled by types

No it isn't. You can't send an arbitrary string to the database and expect it to work. At the very least you benefit from having an interface that's structured enough to tell you whether your parentheses are balanced and your quotes are matched rather than having to figure that out at runtime.

…what?

Sorry to harsh the vibe, but that second paragraph reads like something out of 2014 when people were first reading REMOTE. At this point remote work is nothing new, and while many large companies don’t like it, many large companies are going along with it (and developing the culture, documentation, etc.) because it works well as a way to attract talent. And some startup founders are trying to go “full Musk” and call workers’ bluffs and cement their control, so I don’t think there’s a clean dichotomy here.

As for walkable cities, I agree that they would be awesome, but they do not just naturally flow from a remote work culture. And having lived in Thailand for two years I hard disagree about it being a walkable place with good internet (it is cheap, which is nice, but you don’t get what you don’t pay for).
There are certainly things like "most humans value not torturing people" that are factual. Its quite exhausting to drag the lines between a strict definition of "physical law fact" and "known truths about humans" ad nauseam. People value their values, and that's a fact. Saying "we can't value facts as a primary source of judgement because we'll all turn into dispassionate torture robots" requires a suspension of disbelief.
Ford probably isn't selling you the vehicle for a loss, but you are contributing far less to the profit margin. In normal times dealers operate on fairly thin margins, which is why they're always looking for ways to extract extra cash from the customer. Financing is an amazing vehicle for this. But it's also why dealers are so interested in the window tint, undercoating, racing stripe, nitrogen filled tires, etc... add ons. Those are almost pure profit to the dealer and can account for the lion's share of what the dealer actually takes home.

I just made a very similar game a couple weeks ago, but with a couple key differences which make the experience very different:

1. You start the game with someone you know
2. You know that the first 5 messages you each send are authored by the other person
3. After 5 messages each, the "You are a bot!" button becomes active, and at some random point after that, the players get split so they are instead each talking to a bot.

The time pressure of when to consider pressing the button really changes the psychological aspect, as does having a lead-in transcript for the bot to try to impersonate your friend. As others have mentioned, an incentive to have people be more human would be great -- in a tournament setting I'd like to see this implemented where if someone guesses prematurely then they get -1 while the other player gets 0, whereas guessing correctly gives +1 to the guesser and 0 to the other.

Anyway, my prompting and the game could definitely use work, but for anyone who wants to try it out: https://artifice.games/
The game is called Bot or Not, after you create the game have your friend hit join a game and use the 4 letter room code.
>Walkable, safe and cheap places with good internet have a lot to gain (e.g. Portugal, Thailand). Unsafe or expensive cities have a lot to loose (e.g. San Francisco).

Won't this be a large obstacle for remote work? More expensive places are going to hold on to people tooth and nail. There are plenty of ways to do this, eg explicit regulation or tax complications.

When Bulgarian truck drivers started outcompeting French truck drivers the EU pushed through new regulations that required the drivers and the trucks (!!) to visit their home country at least every 2 months.[0]

>The most controversial measure is an obligation for trucks to return to their country of establishment at least every eight weeks

I think political entities will fight a lot with dirty tricks like this to keep the tax revenue and employment in their jurisdiction.

I lived in one of those homes, probably doable to build. Almost certainly not earthquake safe. Or insulated. Or setup for good airflow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sears_Modern_Homes is a good coverage of a lot of the details. Shame that isn't the root for this, as it has a lot of good details.

There was a fun article a few years ago of some folks that built a house in WA. Still very doable, but probably not right in the city that easily.
Trailer parks and doublewides also existed prior to microhouses. Prefab housing isn't new, it just has a bad rep associated with the trappings of predatory business models targeting the poor.

What he's saying is that it's easier to have the ingredients in a list at the bottom/top instead of strewn around the text. Yes the tools can generate the list but you need the tools. Or read the entire text to parse out the list yourself.

Sure some recipes require the same ingredient in different steps. Why optimize for an edge case and making the default case harder? It's solved "take half the butter..." and "with 100g of the sugar... Pour the rest of the sugar..." works well for the 2% of recipes you need this in.

My current pre-WWII mid-sized-US landlord just sold my rental for $185,000, purchased by a couple as their "first second home [AirBNB]." The half acre is all it's worth, as the house is a push-in; around these parts, this should be worth $35-60k.

Right after the Deed conveyance, a tree fell onto the property knocking out two telephone poles. The HVAC has quit. The septic no-workie [why it was sold, by SlumLord]. Sitting atop a VERY ACTIVE landslide.

I have been trying to "watch out for" the new buyers, but their wishful-thinking/eagerness to renovate and "start making the big bucks" has just been so horrifically comical. I am not enjoying myself, telling them facts about this dilapidated structure [which I have happily lived in for many years].

THIS. TIMELINE. THO.

Reading the linked judgement seems to imply there was more nuance. It seems 1800 contacts actively colluded with competitors to not cross bid on common terms, negative terms, etc. It would be interesting if this was only about “exact phrase” matches and trademarks, but it seems a bit more complicated than that at an initial scan.

That has not been my experience. Then again, I’ve written tens of thousands of sql queries over the decades, so sql is as easy as breathing for me. No need for any sort of query builder.
The end result is that you're matching the executable to the libc variant instead of to the kernel. In practice it's not much of a difference, if at all. If you need to use older binaries, install the compatibility shims (or use a base jail based on the older version of FreeBSD). In terms of a support matrix there are two major versions of FreeBSD that are given active support, which is less than over in Linux land.

All in all of all the concerns I'd have about using jails in a production environment, dealing with different major versions is not on that list.

This is why I moved to jOOQ years ago. Nice lean abstraction over SQL, to the point where it's just a typesafe SQL builder and also does the mapping to domain objects if you want. Abstracts and polyfills SQL capabilities just enough for you to be able to port your queries between DBs if desired.
