In some ways I've always felt Diablo is just more honest about what a video game is.
I mostly shoot black and white that I develop at home. I scan using my mirrorless camera.

For my photo game, I need to shoot, develop, and scan the film within a week, which rules out most photo labs.

We're in this situation because a handful of people have decided they have to own everything, and the necessary collective action to deal with it has been in short supply for all the decades we've known there was a problem. It's only now when it's almost too late that people are waking up from all the propaganda deployed to confuse the issue.

I'm still doing my part by advocating for good policies and collective action, but like ActorNightly, I think it's prudent to build a boat just in case things continue to not change.
Didn't they get the memo. 100+ million people signed up...but no one uses it.
I think you misunderstood the mentality. When there are hundreds of AI cults desperately trying to evolve their AI to be the New One True God who will make them all billionaires, leading to civil wars breaking out in every first world country simultaneously, job losses will be the least of your worries.
Manned aircraft still way cheaper at scale. You can do whole counties in a day. Fly it 2-3 times a year and sell it to hundreds/ thousands of customers.

Unless the property is ridiculously expensive, don't expect any one to commission a flight for it.

>in fact I'm very pessimistic about achieving even 2C

In the US, the GOP refused to do anything and held the US hostage so they could cash in by taking bribes from the fossil fuel industry. The other party was too afraid to stand up to the GOP and fossil fuel industry, so nothing at all was done except talk. All the hot air from the pols taking about climate changed, probably contributed to the raising ave temp.

So here we are, baking in a pot where temps are raising slowly, like a lobster.
We have to counter with even more resource hungry and inefficient software of course
Likewise. Not to go onto too much of tangent, but on a more personal note I've been generally struggling with this feeling a lot lately.

I've been a professional software developer for almost 10 years, and I _know_ I'm competent (and not an impostor) as demonstrated by my current position and ability to ship things.

However, lately after viewing developer blogs I become overwhelmed that I actually don't know enough and am not a "real" developer. I seem to have formed a notion of an ideal developer in my head and I compare myself against this imagined construct which leads to these feelings. I admire how these people have so much deep knowledge and can express themselves so clearly and concisely, then wonder why I am not like that.

I barely have the energy after work after taking care of my family to do anything further, and I know programming isn't everything but I do have a desire to learn more and improve myself.

I recognize this isn't healthy nor is it rational, but it's just a feeling I can't shake lately.
What is normal though? From the perspective of a hardware engineer, from the perspective of a contractor or small company developer, from the perspective of a developer at a medium-sized firm, and from the perspective of an engineer at a FAANG, what is normal is different. Twitter famously doesn't have a dev environment and that's not a bad thing. That's because coordinating umpteen teams to have an actually useful dev-dev and qa-dev env costs more than it's worth, in their eyes. And then, what does normal look like depends on when, too. Local dev envs looked a lot different before Docker came on the scene.

So back to the question, what's the dev env look like? :)
I noticed the first 2 Lemmy servers that I signed up for are also down today. They aren't on a .ml domain, though.

I noticed that lemmy.ml was still up, but it has some error messages as I was browsing, too.

I can't imagine this is all related, but maybe?
They do operate most efficiently in warmer temperatures — to be fair.
> news

Following news, especially outside the very-local, has very nearly zero value for most people. It's a hobby with about the same value as watching a daily soap opera, that we fool ourselves into thinking is important.

"But, informed voters!" the voter who spends a few minutes a day reading relevant non-fiction books—history, poli-sci, statistics, marketing/PR, political philosophy, economics, and so on—rather than the news, and just pokes their head up to look at the news & candidates' messages for a few minutes right before each election, is going to be a way better voter than one who puts the same amount of time into mass news media, and skips the books. Wildly better. Incomparably better. Hell, someone who does neither might well be better than the one immersed in mass news media daily or weekly. It. Is. Not. Important. Or. Valuable.

(separately, having a strong news media is important... so, IDK, pay for a paper that does good investigative journalism, but rarely read it? This part's tricky, and arguably one of the great problems of democracy)

FYI everyone also votes backwards from how they should. If you're going to ignore elections, ignore the big ones, and attend the ones for local candidates and issues and school boards and such—the more local, the more your vote matters, and the effect is large. If you want to make a difference in a Presidential election, it's far more effective to participate in the primary or caucus and stay home on election day, than to do the opposite. Yet voter behavior is reversed on all this.

My dad got a letter from our ISP saying someone was "hacking" a certain site. He asked me about it and I sheepishly denied it.

The site that reported me was the owner of hax0r.com (or .org? Cannot remember) and various other stupid vanity domains (used and leased, purposely mind you, for IRC bots and things like that). I think they were just mad because their shell account was passed around IRC like the most popular whore in town.

"Legitimate journalism outlet"

It's some crappy gaming app that aggregates "news". Who cares? This is such a meaningless bit of outrage about nothing of any consequence at all, beyond "AI will not replace us!" luddism.

I think it's a bit hilarious that you work for Buzzfeed. The single and only reason I am aware of Buzzfeed's existence is that they endlessly post listicles that are simply aggregating reddit posts, tweets, etc.
I disagree. It should take something like a police report to block further deliveries. Just taking one delivery driver’s word is ripe for abuse.
Yeah, our internal engineering team in the US are members (me included) that want the same thing! Do you have any suggestions on file format with the ideal schema? I've done deep dives on PubMed and GitHub but haven't found a great answer for all use cases.

I was hoping in the article there would be a larger rebuttal to or at least reflection on the Blink/V8 monoculture the web is reducing to.

I wasn't entirely surprised given this was from the substack of The Browser Company who are just yet another company taking Blink/V8 and rearranging the deck chairs of the browser's, er, chrome (intentionally little 'c', pun intended). But I still would have liked to see some reflection on that, at least.

There's definitely a perspective that browsers can seem like mature tech if there's no clear innovation at the lowest parts of the stack, but that could just be "blinders" because there is no competition to force the innovation. A monoculture doesn't seem great for telling us if the ecosystem is healthy and mature or if it is just locked into a single team's perspective that is perhaps unchallenged.
That’s their point - what can’t be easily quantified and extracted in the short term is ignored - environment, relationships etc can’t be directly deposited in one’s bank account and thus are ignored in the world view that’s being criticized here.
I’m pretty shocked by the whole “profiting from a deceptive transaction is ok if the counterparty believes you” attitude here. I guess I expected more out of HN. I feel like I’d have to keep my hand on my wallet and my eyes over my shoulder if I ever visited any of these guys’ businesses.
Not knowing anything about the situation, I simply cannot imagine that the most powerful state in the world does not know (or could not find out) who is buying up gigantic swathes of land within its territory. And a separate article about a lawsuit by the company even has a quote from the company explaining the use for the land:

> In the lawsuit, Flannery said land it has acquired is used for interstate commerce. The company said various energy and power entities had contracts or proposals to operate on Flannery-owned land in the region.

https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/california-landowne...
The sarcasm is against HN’s guidelines. But I’ll still reply:

HN is niche in topic. It only provides a small slice of media that I could consume. Imagine something a little more akin to Twitter, but small and not endless. It can be interest focused, social from friends, links to long form content like movies/podcasts, etc.

I think News Minimalist does a great job, and is in this spirit with really good summaries. I learned about it from HN. That and the economist daily headlines both give me paragraph sized insights into global news in a very helpful way.
And as a frontend! I mean, I don’t mean this as a dunk, maybe it’s all cool with Supabase, but aesthetically it looks extremely similar, not just a little bit. Is that intentional? Do they encourage sharing their styles or something?

Literal social networks (not the internet thing, just systems of people who interact with each other) are quintessential reputation economies. They can be analyzed, but there's a lot of fundamental differences with monetary economies. Reputation, unlike money, cannot be freely moved around the network: Alice thinking highly of me has no effect on my standing with Bob, unless there's some other link between Alice and Bob. Reputation also isn't nearly as conserved as currency: Asking for and receiving a favor (extracting value) from Bob can often strengthen the relationship, rather than deplete it, depending on the size of the ask and our existing rapport. And that's just some relatively surface level stuff.

You can model relationships in economic terms, but it's a very different type of economy. Given how bad we are at modeling money economies, relationship dynamics are probably a lost cause.
Not OP nor am I a Rust expert. I can speak regarding another technology: sockets.

I've been deep-diving into sockets recently. 2 weeks ago I had only a high-level understanding of sockets (learned from casually reading manpages, docs, blog posts, etc.). I decided to read as much as possible because I wanted to understand networking fundamentals, and after a week I learned enough to write some sockets code in Python and C. I know Python quite well, so reviewing the ``sockets'' library made more sense after my deep dive.

If you want to get better at technology A using language X, I suggest either reading/watching as much as you can about tech A, and build stuff with it in language Y. Then you can circle back to learning language X and you've already mastered much of the concepts around technology A.

"Use an .onion" is genuinely better advice. (I wouldn't do that either, but an .onion at least has a reason to exist.)
They can't charge more because they are competing with others not affected by the overtime regulation.

I agree that's what it's evolved into for the most part, but also consider the point of Diablo is to "defeat Diablo." Simple as that. The endgame of min/maxing came because people continued to play after the main objective was done.
There's only so much you can do by building on the current towering abstractions offered by GCP, AWS, etc. One of the main problems is just the slowness of it all.

Dark is a good example of something that sidesteps this stuff by more fine grained integration of infrastructure and app code.
> But what is “debris”? That could be anything.

Yep. This is something we've been working to address at my startup (https://wuuii.com/). We build software for doing these kinds of inspections. Getting property owners to take action is one of the critical steps in the process, but communicating clearly what needs to be done is something we focus on. We use a combination of aerial imagery and on the ground inspection to identify all of the issues and make specific mitigation recommendations.
I was thinking of Vikings as well.
That's not how the invoices I receive or send are. They are real invoices with specification, sum to be paid, who to pay it to and date to pay. So let's take a bog-standard example: Your phone bill. Get the invoice in your e-mail, see what amount they want, log in to the bank, select them as the recipient, fill in the sum and paste the reference number. Assuming you're saving recipients in your online bank.

There's nothing slow or archaic about that, at least I haven't noticed that after a few thousand invoices sent and received by e-mail. With modern banks you can even make batch payment of invoices by uploading a csv file.

> I think if we're getting specific to this particular Sudoku example, the CoT would probably involve a trace of the entire filling-in and backtracking steps that a solver would do.

Yes, and maybe the occasional generation of the complete boardstate to date, because you don't want to leave the boardstate implicit and require it to be reconstructed within each forward pass - that's 'using up serial computations' that a Transformer can't afford. But if you periodically serialize the best-answer-to-date, you are more likely to be able to bite off a chewable chunk.

> My guess is that the straightforward output of the exact solution, even though it requires several tokens, wouldn't be enough to do the constraint resolution in Sudoku

A Transformer is not much different from an unrolled RNN without weight-sharing, so for any specific sudoku size, there should be some depth which does allow the worst-case amount of backtracking or other solution to the problem. (One way to show this would be to use the RASP programming language to program such a solver.) It's just it'd probably be bigger/deeper than you have available now.
Sure, but also consider that this JVM (intentionally) lacks support for other things that all but the most trivial programs would use. I don't think it's expected by the author that you can throw any random program at it. It's really there just to run your own programs that you've written specifically for it in order to play around with things. And since you know you're writing for this particular JVM, you should know not to do anything that depends on string interning, among other things.
A block cipher is better, as it's guaranteed to not have collisions.
Yes, 0-alloc and minimal copying is a key constraint here. :-) If you take that away, then there's no real problem here.
My friend was mentioning exactly this. Does a child murder somewhere in the country affect his life? No. Keeping it all in and being angry all the time with no recourse was affecting him.

I think it’s still important to be informed, so there’s a middle ground.

It seems to me who is president does affect a lot of my life, from abortion, to Supreme Court rules that have majorly affected my life, to war, trade and the economy.
It was the royal you, so was not an insult.

I think anything that could be appropriately described as infrastructure could also be described as outdated and messy, so that's not necessarily a reason in and of itself to let people experiment on banking infrastructure. Are software engineers (again, the type who end up working for the federal government and banks and government contractors) any more qualified to experiment on this stuff than people who have working in banking and finance?
There are people that can type, verbatim, the entire chapters of books.
The thing about Open Source is it lacks ethics. It looks and quacks like Free Software, but in the end it means whatever the capital wants it to mean.

The problem was accepting the capitalist rewrite of Free; this was merely the inevitable result of taking a system based on ethics, removing those ethics, and then pretending nothing changed.
One of the common elements of training sets for these models (including LLama) is the Books3 dataset, which is a huge number of pirated books from torrents. That's exactly what you described.

Regardless, the lack of a license cannot give you more permission than a restrictive license. You're arguing that if take a book out of a bookstore without paying (or signing a contract), then I have more rights than if I sign a contract and then leave with the book.
Back when Diablo was released it wasn't uniformly praised like it is today. Aside from caricaturised RPG fans' scoffing there was a lot of criticism of its what we call today streamlining and what we used to call dumbing down. Interestingly back then there wasn't yet the research or even the vocabulary of addictive dopamine hit mechanics but there was already a not very well articulated feeling of a hamster wheel experience.

But yes, I did play Diablo 1 to completion. With all 3 characters.

One notable aspect:

"...When she decided to start a family of her own, they had a tool available for not passing on FTD: selective embryo transfer. C. could have her embryos frozen, and doctors could implant only the ones that did not have the mutation. More than a year of arduous procedures followed: fertility treatments and embryo retrieval followed by four attempts to implant, none of them successful. “My body did not like frozen embryos,” C. said. She was readying herself for another retrieval and a fifth implantation when she found she’d become pregnant naturally.

This, she told me, wasn’t planned — though given the difficulty they were having in conceiving, they weren’t inclined to be vigilant about birth control. She chuckled dryly when she told the story; a life filled with unexpected twists gets one more. She and her husband had all the obvious worries about the family mutation, but by then they had plenty of practice playing through those fears. Instead of fixating on what their child might inherit, C. thought about the clock ticking in more ways than one. She was 36, and after four attempts, it felt a little like now or never. With everything she had lived through and everything that was coming, she believed that good fortune was too precious to turn her back on. Who’s to say what other parents may be passing along to their children, genetic risks they don’t know about and that no one can test for? And more broadly: Isn’t she allowed to want this for herself? Doesn’t everyone have the right to a family?

Her aunts, uncles and cousins all had to be wondering about the genetic implications of having children. But the mutation casts a shadow over every interaction: Those who have it are too preoccupied to question the choices of others, and those who don’t feel too guilty to second-guess those who do. Barb, for one, has never broached the subject with C.

...They have not tested their son for the mutation. That, C. told me flatly, will be his decision. “He’ll learn eventually that there’s a possibility,” she said. “I’m not going to ruin his life, you know, worrying about this.” And if her son is diagnosed one day? It’s easy for her to daydream about new genetic editing techniques like CRISPR swooping in to save him with one simple, graceful, elegant snip — deleting the problematic mutation from his DNA. No cure is imminent, but that can always change, C. tells herself. “I think that in the next 30, 40 years, there’s going to be a lot of movement on this stuff,” she said. “I think he has a better chance than I do — and definitely more than my mom did.”"
