If this post gains traction- title should really be updated to it's original "How games typically get built".

Assuming this was a typo by op. Current title doesn't make sense.
https://archive.is/ozsZh
I had a few very smart friends who were very successful in business at a young age. They all sort of celebrated having made it by buying high-end Audi’s when they were the hot luxury cars in the mid-2000’s.

The cars weren’t very reliable (even dumb shit like the electric windows would break) and the repairs were notably more expensive than they should have been. One of them explained that he finally understood that someone willing to pay triple the price of a standard car can be charged triple for repairs too.

He sold the luxury car and bought a Prius and said it was 100x better just because of how reliable it was, and it had the same bells and whistles anyway.
>> awk is great and it's been the same for decades and available on every system (the same can't really be said about perl).

The only issue with AWK is that there are many implementations and they are not always compatible with one another:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Other-Ver...

I have ported AWK scripts from legacy Unix systems to Linux and ran into incompatibilities that required some adjustments to the scripts.

Curious: what systems have AWK, but do not have Perl?
One gap in my knowledge here is how well Rust can take advantage of per-architecture optimizations that can only be seen in the large.

One of the sources of complexity in the C++ I work with is that a lot of it is using templates to try to maximize the size of individual expressions. Consider, for example, the Eigen library (https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php), which gains most of its magic in using compile-time template specialization to re-group logical operations so that the compiler can realize "Oh, this is really looping over dozens of memory cells to do the same operation... I should compile it using SSE instructions." I haven't seen yet whether / how Rust pulls off similar tricks or whether doing so in Rust requires a developer to write n-ary asm bindings, which would actually make Rust less expressive than C++ if the goal is maximizing performance with minimum code.

(Of course, the flip side of that is that there's a lot of Eigen that's unsafe behavior; hold the library slightly wrong, and you're operating on deallocated memory. Oops. ;) ).
I'm writing this from the experiencing of maintaining large legacy C++ projects as well as developing new ones. I only do this for work, not as a hobby, nor anything OS.

>Show me how to import library in CMake. And then also show me how to import library that doesn’t have CMakeLists.txt file.

I'm not sure how this is a gotcha. I'm not that familiar with Cargo, but I think the equivalent would just be something like:

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(myProgramName Eigen3::Eigen)

in cmake. Not very hard.

Also...why does it matter if there's a cmakelists.txt file? How is that a bad thing?

>Good luck explaining to team that they can only use subset of C++

You learn as you go, like literally any other language. You don't need to understand every single line and function call in a program to make changes or add things to it. As you come across something you need to modify, you learn a bit about the features being used.

Now, if you have a real go-getter on the team who has covered the entire project in the most advanced features used in the most obscure ways, sure, it's going to suck for anyone just starting. But that's a problem again, in literally any language. And not a fault of C++, frankly.
This is the negative expectation part of most medical screening that most analyses miss.

- Medical screenings themselves have iatrogenic effects,

- the false positives interventions resulting from screenings have further negative effects and

- finally the true positive interventions don't necessarily prolong life.

All in all very difficult (confounding) tradeoffs that are impossible to quantify and understand especially when the cultural pressure is to do something.
"What is an unintentional pun?"
I think you can only do that if you're not stressed by it and otherwise not afraid of the consequences.
To be clear, if you read the article no one from Nordstrom says anything remotely close to that. They're closing the store because it's losing money, and it's losing money cause there's no foot traffic. The spokesman for Westfield the owner of the mall comes close when describing a "unsafe conditions" in the area.

That being said, if you read the transcript of the earnings call from four days ago they're also shuttering stores in Canada. They also do see unusually high levels of 'shrinkage' and theft, but within the levels that had been accounted for in their internal financial models. In the earnings call crime did come up but in the context of the mob smash and grab at the Topanga location in Los Angeles, and to his credit the CEO was more concerned about the safety of staff and shoppers, rather than property loss during this episode of organized looting.

So yeah, click-baity article, but Nordstrom never actually said what the article implies.
A private individual or company cannot file criminal/felony charges. Those are filed by a County Prosecutor, District Attorney, State Attorney, etc after being convinced of probable cause.

They could threaten to report you to the police or such authorities, but they would have to turn over their evidence to them and to you and open all their relevant records to you via discovery.

> Get a lawyer

Yes, if they're seriously threatening legal action they already have one.
> A large swath of of their engines made within the last decade or so have a reputation for not lasting within or much beyond the warranty period

A warranty that is now of 10 years/100k miles (or 15 years/150k miles when extended). The value proposition of Kias, when you factor in features included as a standard, has never been greater, and is better than most other manufacturers.
I'm not even suggesting it has to happen at a legal level, but perhaps at a professional level, I would think any lawyer writing baseless threatening letters to people should be subject to losing there license.
That sounds like a very enjoyable endeavor! I was wondering, what are the benefits and drawbacks to flying a lighter-than-air ship under 1,000 feet? Or even closer to the ground/tops of buildings? <500 feet? Are there simply too many regulatory issues?

I have a dream that some day there will be airships floating around cities, ferrying passengers and freight, and they will float only 30-100 meters above the tallest buildings.
This is obviously a serious problem, but I hate the use of the word "compels" in the title. Social media does not compel people to share things. It encourages it by design, absolutely, but nobody is forced to share things. We should take it seriously, but not to the point where we eliminate any concept of human autonomy in the use of these platforms.
I’m not arguing that all screenings are worthwhile, or that the questions you raise aren’t vital to answer for good medical practice.

I’m arguing that this specific analysis has very little to tell individuals about how they should perceive the value of any particular test. A different analysis—looking at the particular negative outcomes of the testing itself or the reaction to false positives—would be a different story entirely.

What do you think the individual patient should take away from this analysis in actionable terms?
> I spent a little while trying to parse out each word, guess common roots, vaguely remember the little bits of German grammar I've absorbed over the years, and so on.

And German has a particularly special trap for "trying to parse out each word": trennbare Verben (separable verbs). Unless you know enough of the grammar to know when a piece of the verb has been unceremoniously punted to the end of the sentence, trying to use a dictionary to find the meaning of the verb of a sentence can be an exercise in futility.
That was quick. Companies offering APIs end up competing with their developer base that built end-user facing products. Another example is Twilio that offers retail-ready products now such as Studio, prebuilt Flex, etc.
They give a timeline of a few weeks, so presumably we'll see soon enough.
We (like many other companies) have deployed an internal UI[1] that integrates with our SSO and makes calls via the OpenAI API, which has better data privacy terms than the ChatGPT website.

We'd be potentially very interested in an official internal-facing ChatGPT, with a caution that the economics of the consumption-based model have so far been advantageous to us, rather than a flat fee per user per month. I can say that based on current usage, we are not spending anywhere close to $20 per user per month across all of our staff.

> I wonder if the main obstacle to (actual) cross-browser extensions isn't so much technical but rather political.

Normally when browser folk talk about "cross-browser extensions," we're not focusing on the distributable package so much as the source code. As you suggest, there are a variety of reasons that browsers aren't terribly interested in having a single authoritative distribution channel. For that matter, the packaging format is explicitly not something we intended to discuss in the WebExtensions Community Group[1]. While we diversity in how extensions are marketed and distributed, we want the actual code of the extensions to be as reusable as (reasonably) possible.

I don't agree with your assertions. They have a center-left worldview which I personally don't share but I find that they are generally factually accurate.

Don't speak for me. I don't know that, every publication has a slant of some kind.

Yeah, that is my expectation about its future as well. I really enjoyed using Fig for clear CLI introspection for many of my common workflows.

Not entirely fictitious. Cowboys and ranch hands at times also worked as mercenaries or deputized law enforcers in 19th-century organized conflicts not unlike the urban gang wars we occasionally see today. The best known example is probably the Lincoln County War, which involved 15 murders and probably a few hundred participants at various levels.
Reality is less popular than romanticized ideals, and always has been. Sir Humphrey Appleby famously quipped "All government funding is symbolic." And to paraphrase: "Funds aren't distributed to government programs based on need, utility or expected benefits, but on what politicians think will convince the electorate they're spending government funds appropriately."
Yes, you can reason about safety in just the same way, as long as a safe API is built around the unsafe usage. That’s why you can have safe OpenGL bindings even though the underlying raw C calls are unsafe

E.g. https://github.com/glium/glium

Rust would be useless if you couldn’t have safety if you had any unsafe at any point. That’s the whole point of rust: you can build safe interfaces to unsafe actions

I read Roadside Picnic a few months ago, and yeah, it's very good stuff. While there's a lot to be said for the context in which it was written, I think it also holds up on its own even if you're not very familiar with the history.
I'm beginning to sound like a broken record at this point, but if you don't know SQL very well but know how to use GPT-4, you have access to enough SQL to get a lot more done than you might think.
Yeah, I'll be curious to see what it means by this. Could be a few things, I think:

- Codebases

- Documents (by way of connection to your Box/SharePoint/GSuite account)

- Knowledgebases (I'm thinking of something like a Notion here)

I'm really looking forward to seeing what they come up with here, as I think this is a truly killer use case that will push LLMs into mainstream enterprise usage. My company uses Notion and has an enormous amount of information on there. If I could ask it things like "Which customer is integrated with tool X" (we keep a record of this on the customer page in Notion) and get a correct response, that would be immensely helpful to me. Similar with connecting a support person to a knowledgebase of answers that becomes incredibly easy to search.

It's a balance between encouraging people to stand up for their rights on one hand and discouraging filing of frivolous lawsuits on the other. The American system is "everyone pays their own legal fees", which encourages injured parties to file. The U.K. on the other hand is a "loser pays both parties' legal fees" (generally), which discourages a lot of plaintiffs from filing, even when they have been significantly harmed.
Both fair points, and realistically I’m not even really a fan of UBI given that it’ll be captured by landlords as increased rent. The real point I’m making is that these things are not actually at odds and they shouldn’t be portrayed as such.
You don't fine-tune on a corpus of documents to give the model knowledge, you use retrieval.

They support uploading documents to it for that via that code interpreter, and they're adding connectors to applications where the documents live, not sure what more you're expecting.
Can you give an example? I haven’t used Julia and I’m curious to hear what you mean by that.

This is unfortunately a very common issue with Firebase apps. Since the client is writing directly to the database, usually authorization is forgotten and the client is trusted to only write to their own objects.

A long time ago I was able to get admin access to an electric scooter company by updating my Firebase user to have isAdmin set to true, and then I accidentally deleted the scooter I was renting from Firebase. I am not sure what happened to it after that.
People like the gentleman in the article are PART OF THE PROBLEM, because they (and it seems most people) seem to have a certain benevolence towards their employer (and US capitalism) no matter how hard they’re fucked by it. He was reassigned to sales, it took a toll on his mental health, but hey no hard feelings because now he’s in a role he enjoys at IBM. The message to IBM is that they can get away with it and this trend will no doubt continue there and elsewhere in the US.

We could unionize like that, guys, especially the software engineers. Where are your balls?
Not that I disagree but I think this is what's going to pop the AI bubble. It doesn't actually work that great for a lot of stuff, anything that requires true generalization as opposed to just fitting a particular distribution. That doesn't make it useless, but it makes it way less useful than people believe in waves of optimism. It's what killed the last hype cycle and it will again.
Yea, Nordstrom is supposed to be their high-touch high end, and Nordstrom Rack is supposed to still be high quality, but less high-touch. And they're trying to figure out the right mix without diluting brand.
It does, but the docs aren't clear on that yet. TraceIdRatioBased is the "take X% of traces" sampler that all SDKs support today.
It depends on where you are coming from and/or going to... if you are earning less than the average income $72k/yr in the US, it's pretty easy to come close as even a starting level junior dev with no experience. As relatively high paid people, it's easy to forget that most people don't make nearly what our type of work makes, and half make less than the above, even a decade in.
The Leg (1982)
They are not categories, they are contexts, and educational texts can have value within any or all of those contexts. In fact being educational or informative could inherently be considered to be of literary value.

Many people rightfully complain about the lack of specificity and clarity in the third prong, but that is even more evidence for why it is a bad community note because there is obvious room for interpretation and the note leaves none. Thus, even if you agree with its conclusion, it lacks sufficient context which is one of the voting criteria.

Interesting that they're still centered around Chat as the interface, with https://flowch.ai (our product) we're building it much more around projects and reports, which we think is often more suitable for businesses.

We're going after some of these use cases:

Want a daily email with all the latest news from your custom data source (or Google) for a topic?
How about parsing custom data and scores from your datasets using prompts with all the complicated bits handled for you, then downloading as a simple CSV?
Or even simply bulk generating content, such as generating Press Releases from your documents?

All easy with FlowChai :)

I think there's room for many different options in this space, whether that be Personal, Small Business or Enterprise.

You don’t need much water. It doesn’t need to be that cool either. If you lack access to the water required to do this, which does not even need to be clean, then the lack of water is probably the bigger crisis.

Heatwaves and infrastructure failures can undoubtedly be serious threats. But the vast, vast majority of people survive wet bulb events when they encounter them.
Yes, threatening to report is what was really happening here. But in their effort to scare us, they elided much of that process. From our perspective it was "watch out, you might face felony charges if you don't agree to silence".
