It’s a problem when the x16 slot is the bottom-most and the orientation is such that the clicky thing you must depress is on the bottom side of the DP connector when plugged in, and your case has a ledge after the PCI slots so you cannot realistically depress the latch.

Of course, no one would realistically encounter a case/GPU/cable combo like that. Right?

This seems to be arguing that the existence of natural gas pipe infrastructure is somehow a benefit of natural gas, rather than a downside. The pipes are an expense, to say nothing of the fact that even our best-maintained pipes are leaking 2% of their gas directly into the atmosphere per year (the worst are leaking double or triple that). A hunk of coal that falls off a truck doesn't contribute to emissions; a leaky methane pipe does, which can actually make natgas plants overall worse for emissions than coal.
I made a crappy bot for your game. It runs game tree search (no pruning) for 4 plies and picks the position with the most material advantage. It seems to beat me more effectively than most human opponents so far, though. What it lacks in long-term planning it makes up for in taking advantage of tactical errors.

It's currently running in a loop under the name "LASERFISH SHITTY CPU OPPONENT". It never joins your games - you have to click on it.

I also thought about making a puzzle opponent that would give you unusual FEN starting positions and nearly unlimited time, but I don't want to invent puzzles.

Does the game not send a gameOver packet when you win or lose by pawn move?

edit: I figured out why it can't find any moves and crashes. It can't find any of YOUR moves if it backs you into a corner and takes every single piece. With the crash fixed, it seems to be winning 2/3 of the time and drawing 1/3 (probably some stupid logic where it thinks lasering your king and their king and one pawn is a good tradeoff)
My mother was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the start of 2020. If you haven’t known someone diagnosed with cancer recently, it might not be obvious how advanced cancer treatment and care is now. You see so many stories about new cancer treatments or prevention strategies all the time, and it’s so easy to discount it as just more spam, but we’re getting extremely good at making people better, even in comparison to as recently as a decade ago. Not perfect, but the trajectory is very steep.

(Disclaimer, I’m not an expert, I was just pretty amazed by how the whole process was customized and targeted for her specific case.)

I’m sure this isn’t a catch-all, and it’s bad to put hope in “one thing to solve it all”, but this sure is exciting.
This actually hits so close to home. I really like the concept of rust, but every time I sit down to write it, the syntax and the grammar feel... off and unnatural.

It really reminds me of how jarring it would be to have to write a book in the style of 1500's English. Like sure, once you get used to it, you can pick it up, but it takes a bit to get into it.
However, if you're running a computer with a 16-core CPU, power usage doesn't scale linearly with cores. There's a lot of overhead, especially if you're talking about a laptop/desktop with display, HID, etc.
> or access is tied directly to your physical identity to access the site).

This is what is inevitably going to happen. There will be some kind of service provider (probably one of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon) who will verify who you are via official documents such as passport and driving license. When you sign up to a smaller company's service they'll check with the providers to see if you're a genuine person and if so then they'll let you join, if not you'll be blocked. You might be able to use the forum with an anonymous name but the company will always know who you are and if you use your account to spam or abuse people you'll get blacklisted and reported to the police. Any service that doesn't implement the model will be an unusable hell hole of bots and spam.

The internet will splinter into two and you'll have the "verified net" and the "unverified net" with the latter basically becoming a second dark web. To be honest, I think this will probably be a good thing. I think the vast majority of people will spend most of their time on the verified net, which will actually be a more pleasant place to be because people won't be able to get away with what they can now without real consequences in physical reality.

That being said there are plenty of ways it could go wrong - if those accounts get hacked and the owner of the account can't prove it then we could see innocent people going to jail. Or state actors could hack the accounts of citizens they see as problematic and frame them. But all that stuff could happen today anyway - the verification or lack there of doesn't make that much difference but does substantially reduce the use of bots.
It technically fits the broad definition of "code", besides the wordage "X as Code" conveys the meaning of treating X as if it is code by applying the same sort of tooling to maintain it (as if it were code).

I think "demo" or "toy" or "exhibit" would be a better term than "game", since there's not really any story, or rules, or objectives, or anything resembling a normal gameplay loop. The level of interactivity is well below what you would typically expect from a game, and there's effectively no agency in affecting the outcome of what happens. Even walking simulators have at least some of those things.
I'll go even further and say that most people, even younger people, still think in terms of "computer" and not OS, like it's an appliance. It's about as sophisticated an understanding out there as it was in the 90s. When I'm asked for computer buying advice, they ask me "Mac or PC?" or maybe "Mac or Dell?" For phones it's, "iPhone or Samsung"? Eyes would glaze over if I tried explaining that Dell, Lenovo, HP machines etc all run Windows, except the ones that are Chromebooks... and I would never EVER recommend Linux to a normie unless I wanted to forever be their tech support.
Holy shit. Am I misreading your comment? It sounds like you're justifying lying and cheating in order to make money.

I think the risk of that with mainstream parcel carriers is pretty low. But I understand the hesitation, for sure.

> getting refused entry and being deported (and thus, losing the many thousand dollars one needs for a vacation in the US) for being "suspicious".

I have no idea what does or does not mark you as suspicious enough to be denied entry, so I can't comment on that. But if it's a vacation trip, then do you need to take electronic devices at all? Aside from a cell phone, anyway, but if you're concerned about the device being compromised, surely that cell phone doesn't have to be the one you use when you're in your home country.

Anyway, I'm not arguing with you even a little, and I hope I'm not coming off as unsympathetic. At heart, I agree with you that everything you're saying is a real problem that needs real solutions. I'm just looking at how to reduce the problem in the meantime until/unless real solutions come about.

I have a similar comment on the same article elsewhere recently, but "darling" is a really tech industry-centric way to describe them. The people most likely to spend $1k+ on a bike are people who already ride bikes. These don't particularly appeal to those groups.

We go through a new one of these companies every few years but the thing is simply that "people with no bike opinions who want to buy an expensive bike" is not a large market at all. Bikes, even e-bikes, are a very mature, well-understood technology and "innovation" is incremental and easily copied if effective.

The "my first bike is an electric bike" group is addressed by cheap utilitarian east asian ebikes. The "my first bike costs $3500" group is addressed by every single bike manufacturer, they all compete aggressively in that segment. The intersection of the two is just too small.
In fact, it strongly suggests that fabricating data is so common, that it doesn't seem dangerous or risky to them, and they take no great amount of care while doing it. Familiarity breeds contempt. I'm pretty sure the researchers implicated are smart enough to figure out how to fabricate data well, if they wanted to; that they did not bother to do so, suggests a cultural rot.

Weathering rocks to absorb carbon makes a lot of sense. It doesn't require any new technology. The equipment can be powered by electricity and only run when there is excess power available. It should scale well, but does need large scale to make a difference.
They can't, but they suspected it was the case.

Note from the article:

> The boy’s father said he booked the ticket using Skiplagged, which helps find such throwaway options, but he didn’t know that airlines frowned on this. The dad always books with Skiplagged, and has for years, but the child had never even traveled alone before. The boy was on his own and confessed.

The family (and account used to purchase the tickets) was likely red flagged. This is harder to catch if you don't check in with a person (using a kiosk or app), but it is easy to imagine that there's a note on the account in the checkin screen for the employee to see... which an unaccompanied minor would need to use.

If any luggage was asked to only be checked through Charlotte, then that raises additional red flags.

The airline likely needs to do some due diligence. The individual is an unaccompanied minor flying. Imagine what they airline would need to do if he didn't get on the connecting flight to New York.

That said - it would likely have been caught in Charlotte as the unaccompanied minor is escorted to the next flight and ended up much the same way.

If the price of GPU training continues to drop at the present rate, then it would be possible to train a GPT-4 level LLM on a $3000 card in 10 years. The ability to run inference on it would come way sooner.
Just checked and it appears they’ve fixed this. For years it would occupy the entire screen and not permit accessing any other tabs. (You can find threads from last year discussing this).

However they still don’t offer a way to upload specific photos, and if you attempt to share only selected photos in the ios settings app they detect that this isn’t all photos.

I agree with you. There's a lot of engineering, and science going into IT. But I'm a Software Engineer too, and while I'm clever and do clever things, I can assure you that there's no rigor or reason to call it engineering. This version of engineering is at most the re-use of the word, like how the word art is not just covering artistic expressions, but skillfulness too, even though when you apply a skill artfully, you don't create art. Similarly, I do a lot that takes ideas of engineering, but really I'm just writing code and kinda design a smallish system maybe.

I wouldn't be surprised if some major airlines would have a shared banned passenger database. Something like a no-fly list but for people who broke various fine-print airline rules. He might find himself not being able to fly on any airline for 3 years.

Again, you’re associating AR/VR with a specific implementation (headsets, glasses, etc), based on your experiences with existing technology. That’s a very short sighted way to think about the future. AR/VR is the future of human computer interface, as a paradigm, as a “reality 2.0”.

Smartphones became widespread 15 years ago, and will be obsolete 15 years from now. We will still see an old lady in 2040 pulling out iPhone 23 Ultra Super Pro Max, just like we still occasionally see an old lady in a supermarket pulling our her checkbook.

Both screens and retinal projections will be seen as historical curiosities 50 years from now, just like we now look at VHS tapes and compact disks. Provided we have not turned into unimaginable cyborgs by that time, surely any information that can be consumed by our brains would be fed directly into our brains - why would you want to rely on our unreliable, deteriorating and severely constrained senses to consume information - most (or even all) of which by that time will be created or transformed by an AI?

Reputation probably matters more for academia (people go into it because they think the research is important, not for the money, and they think they're standing on the shoulder of giants and not amiable bullshitters taking the credit for findings actually created by their overworked research assistants kludging the data), but if you think academia is full of lies and half truths relative to other professions, you haven't encountered many startups!
"FP works great for distributed systems, and most software written today is distributed."

According to Grokking Simplicity[1], good functional programming isn't about avoiding impure functions; instead extra care is given to them. These functions depend on the time they are called, so they are the most difficult to get right.

Compare to pure functions: given the same input, the results are always the same regardless of when the function was called. So they are easier to reason with.

There is actually a level that is even easier to reason about than pure functions: plain data.

So functional programmers prefer data over pure functions over impure functions.

The reason to avoid "leaks" is because impure functions cause everything that calls them to also become impure. However, it is OK to use local mutation contained to the function itself. Sometimes mutation is simpler and doesn't affect the purity of the function that contains it.

Another good book on practical functional programming is Domain Modeling Made Functional[2]. Actually all of Scott Wlaschin's material[3] is very good!

You're implying that putting capital towards having the "best" railway is the most optimal use of that capital. I think it's much more complicated than that, and coincidentally, market mechanics are one way of crowdsourcing the decision of how capital is put to best use.

I'm not saying it's always the best solution and free markets going unchecked can for sure cause more harm than good, but I think you're making it out much simpler than it really is.

I hear that. My catechism classes were a joke, honestly. I remember keeping a notebook full of questions to ask the parish priest the next time I saw him. After a half dozen times of that, he suggested that he come to our CCD class once a month to answer everyone's questions at once. He put out a "questions box" so people could drop in whatever they were curious about without having to raise their hand and ask.

Essentially, Dan Ariely is a well known, oft-interviewed and oft-cited researcher, who has done research on how the environment influences a person to cheat or not cheat. One of his most commonly cited is that having students recall the Ten Commandments before a test reduced cheating. It has not proven to be reproducible, and it now appears that it may have all been a fabrication, which is both disappointing and also deliciously ironic.
Interestingly, I do share this association, I have seen more people react this way, and I have seen more people consciously describe that association.

But I've never seen anybody having this as a first reaction to some software. It needs some time to kick in.
I had the same feeling of disappointment when Intel exited the consumer motherboard business. I bought one of their Ivy Bridge generation motherboards for my PC build at the time because it was the only one that I could confirm had the features I wanted. The motherboard manual listed details like the part numbers for the SuperIO, Firewire and audio chips, the location of the temperature sensors on the board, the current ratings for the fan headers. I knew exactly what I was getting, and knew there was no reason to shell out for a more "high end" motherboard because there wouldn't have been any improvement to any functionality I cared about.
