Much of Europe went wild assuming that we would always have 5 to 7 workers per person retired to care for, and I won’t be surprised if we get down to 1 to 2 in the next 50 years.

Talking of a shoestring budget, sometimes it's a good thing. I actually learned more useful things about EE by fixing broken test gear than doing an undergraduate course. The course was so heavily theoretical that when it came to actually building prototypes, nothing worked and no one knew why, not even the lab techs. So I spent most of the time going round helping fixing people's limping final year projects.

They revealed quite a lot, but the process seems to be unreliable and frankly unready for publishing.

It would be nice if we can see a breakdown of P&L. I see the indie dev claims to have “over 7500+ businesses” as customers. But also a very generous free tier.

I see the post is getting eviscerated in the comment section. But if this person is spending mere cents in operating costs when compared to the profit earned each month or year (I think in business terms this is known as customer acquisition costs). Then I would say that is truly “frugal”
Even worse: here in Hamburg, a major German city with very high Google Maps usage, The S-Bahn line S1 is closed through the tunnel right in the centre of the city an entire month, and yet it has not been updated at all. Same thing occurred when the S1 from the airport to HBF was closed last month. These are very high capacity lines and it is tourist season. Anyone trying to use Google Maps is going to be very confused. Closures are only taken into account like 50% of the time.

Hamburg has almost half the population of Berlin, yet Google can't keep up with major scheduled line closures.

A counterpoint to your second point is Gall's law:

> A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gall_(author)

At some point, problems are just too complex for any person, no matter how brilliant, to think through ahead of time. The only practical way to make progress on such problems is to implement a simplified version of a solution and then evolve it towards full function. Techniques like test driven development really embrace this idea.

Another bad experience on Google Maps on iOS, that both my wife and I have experienced on two totally different iPhones: if you zoom in, half the time it will glitch out and jump somewhere else totally random on the map. Literally just the pinch zooming in functionality has been broken on iOS for a year or more.

Unfortunately, it is an amateur app made by amateur devs.

RDS is very expensive. Just following the console's advise for production instances (meaning Multi-AZ with a Proxy), a t3-medium (2 vCPU, 4GB) Postgres instance with 5GB storage is $130/month.

You can get it down to $12/month by going with a t4g.micro (2 vCPU, 1GB RAM), single-az, no proxy, no backups, 5GB storage; with price after that scaling roughly linearly with RAM. But the interface will scream at you the entire time that this isn't reasonable for a production setup.

The publication of the paper on LK99 was an accident.
One interesting theory here is contamination. "Legitimate" labs have a higher standard of cleanness and material purity, more stable equipment etc.

If the results are to be believed the crystaline structure is hard to achieve as replacing the right parts with Cu seems borderline random.

less perfect synthesis materials (some of the unofficial institutions have even admitted to using subsitutes for some of the synthesis) so perhaps worse ovens that cannot sustain perfect temps, or substitute materials in some way help the right crystals to show up.

The original Korean lab said they only had a 10% success rate and admit the ppublished synthesis is incomplete because it is waiting full journal approval for the paper to come out.

So we should wait until we have better data, better replication and tbh a working theory of how it even works because it shows odd magnetic behaviour, whether its superconducting or not

Most academic textbooks are not for general audience.

Thanks for trying it out! Hopefully these explanations help you, if not, please let me know.

1. Depending on the board constellation, there can be multiple different chunks which can be moved. For example, first row all black, second all white, third all black. The game ends when you remove a block where all tiles are the same color. So in this example, removing the white row would get you closer to that state.

2. Yes, when there are multiple directions towards which you can remove a chunk, it doesn't matter which one you choose.

3. In general, only the removed tiles are refilled. However, when this leads to a board with no possible move, e.g., like a chessboard pattern, the whole board gets replaced immediately.
And even if it turns out it isn't a superconductor, that's pretty cool in its own right, no? At least this layman would think so.

And it would go a way in explaining why so many take the claims seriously and try to replicate it, if we know there's something exciting going on either way.
There are plenty of libraries which makes dealing with fixed-point relatively easy.

I think GP is alluding to issues you get when you have a mix of scales. Like floating-point, fixed-point will have a limited precision range around the origin. In contrast to floating-point, the range for fixed-point is smaller but evenly spaced.

Say you have 32:32 fixed-point. You can then represent numbers in multiple of ~0.2e-9. So if you need to calculate distances in nanometers, perhaps due to a short timestep in a simulation, you have hardly any precision to work with.

The obvious way around this is to pull out a scale factor, say 1e-9 since you know you'll be in the nano-range. Now the numbers you're working with are back on the order of 1 with lots of precision, however you need to apply the scale factor when you actually want to use the number, and now you have to be careful not to overflow when multiplying two or more scaled numbers. This is part of the programmer overhead GP alluded to.

My reading of the situation was that they have been making this stuff for quite a while (years!), but haven't had the funding or manufacturing expertise to start scaling up and properly improving the process. They are a tiny research lab. The suggestion seems to be that one newer (now former) member of the lab just thought F-this we need to publish, get it out there and start moving forward.

If it is real, the level of investment in finding ways to make this stuff is going to explode. It may be hard to make, but that won't stop us from finding a way to make it on a large scale if it truly is revolutionary.

Further to that, from other groups studying it we will potentially find better and easer to make alternatives.
> Many of your devices will work through the many plugins available

Alas, the Hive stuff doesn't because BG moved their auth to AWS Cognito and the Python module hasn't yet[1] managed to work out how to keep auth going[2]

> not a big company piling gobs of money into a full-time team

Think this is a bit of a straw man, to be honest. I've done turns at AWS, Microsoft, Dropbox, and now a quant fund. Most of the big-impact projects at all of these places have been bottom-up initiatives, not top-down -- they've been things started by one or a couple people, wedged into spare time, because the existing ecosystem had gaps. Even things that turn into full-fledged, public-facing services usually start quite small. A former teammate at AWS was part of the team who launched Mac on EC2 -- he was the third engineer on the team, and he started on the project as a part-time engineer on loan from another team. In my experience, this is how things are usually built -- even for things that go on to be part of the re:Invent keynote.
Around 2 years ago while working on a geolocation project I researched a few alternative services to cover our reverse lookup needs (coordinates to address).

The difference in quality of data for the above mentioned process between MapQuest and Google, and then Google and OSM, was quite telling. Everyone who read the resulting report was also puzzled.

OSM was about 80% accurate, Google was about 90%, and MapQuest was over 98%. Also worth mentioning is that only two of these sources let you store the data (Mapquest and OSM). Someone else on my team wanted to use Canada Post's geolocation data. Do not. It is extremely bad.

We ended up running a service off MapQuest for advertising by mail using data from web traffic. The mailed letter or advertisement could be in the mailbox by the next day.

The UX over the same period has gotten noticeably worse. The embedded maps that use two fingers to move around the map is my favorite UX decision of all time...

Some regulations would exist even with a smaller government. I just can’t understand all the other responses here that amount to giving the federal government even more power and having them take even more money. We already lose something like 30-40% of every dollar in various taxes and they have the power to continually devalue whatever is left through inflationary monetary policy.

Just look up total inflation over the past several decades and it becomes very clear why so many are struggling just to make ends meet. And again, so many of the commenters here think giving the gov more power is the answer.
But surely it is in the best interest of the industry as a whole to ensure that there is parity across the competitors so they aren't milked forever? ie they could invest time and effort into making the AMD compatibility better, and the Intel Arc equivalent.

I say this as a person who's diving right into the NVidia moat. "Well everyone gets NVIdia GPUs so that's what I should get".

The new is about 700k concurrent players though (the next evening it was already over 800k), not 700k units sold, and that's just a few days into launch. Don't know how concurrent players translates into units sold on Steam after such a short time, but I think you can easily multiply by 5..10.

What surprised me the most is that the game's first act has been in early access for everybody to try since 2020 (so most hardcore fans most likely bought the game already in early access), and yet the launch exceeded the wildest expectations.

This means that Larian must have done an exceptionally great job of balancing the expections of their hardcore fanbase and the general RPG audience.
