That's interesting. So, if I understand this thread at all, your projects may help me to "preserve" my "wealth", with ledger?
That’s a weird statement. The environment does easily adapt, but in ways that humans might not be able to adapt to. When we talk about ecosystems and climate and such, we talk about maintaining them for our own interests (so not shooting ourselves in the foot making a bad trade off). At the end of the day, the Earth will adapt to anything, and a few million years after humans have gone extinct, there will hardly be any trace that we ever existed.
For one thing, a lot of people spend that money and get a degree that will not meaningfully help them in the labour market.

Offtopic: I switched to the scifi/fantasy genre and wonder why the number is not 1024 or 2310 (2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11) or other number based on series such as Fibonacci.

The closest from Wolfram Alpha is: 1280 has a representation as a sum of 2 squares:
1280 = 16^2 + 32^2
Physical jobs involve hands-on work and direct interaction, which can be satisfying. However, they can be tiring and limit flexibility. Online jobs offer freedom in terms of location and hours, but they might lack personal interaction and require self-discipline. Your choice depends on your preferences and lifestyle. And i would prefer physical job over online job as the physical job is full of entertainment and adventure, if you are on a good position.

Ask HN: Professions Least Impacted by AI?
I'm generally a pretty optimistic person. When I think of AI, I believe that it will augment existing workflows and help people perform more effectively. But I suppose it would be naive to think that it wouldn't result in a net decrease in the need for workers. My children are entering university and will be choosing an area of study / work. Which professions are least likely to be obsoleted by AI in the future?

On the eco-responsibility bit, just curious do you actually have a source that logging uses more carbon than mining?

I'm not sure but my gut would say the opposite since rocks are heavier but idk.
Well that’s more a case of there being more than one authority who claims to be the source of truth for answering the question ‘what is the time zone offset in that location at this point in time’…

International disputes make it difficult to answer a lot of questions about specific locations without making choices about which authorities you’re willing to respect.

Writing and printing a letter takes about 5 minutes, phone calls are not that time effective unless you already know the person you're calling, in my experience. Calling Congress I would expect to be on hold for a long time, plus staffers know that you're reading a script, and will also discount it because you have a general ask rather than saying 'Please vote (yes/no) on HR ####'.

Right, it's not that acceleration exceeded some small threshold, but either it has exceeded a large threshold or that an integral of acceleration over the last N seconds indicates motion of more than a few centimeters. But you really want to integrate all sensors.

From what I’ve read, it’s not one’s that are great. Even five years ago before LLMs were big I remember seeing this debate and it was usually jobs like caregivers that were described as likely safe from AI automation.

In more recent times, I’ve seen a lot of talk about non knowledge work being less effective, for example the trades, but those seem like something you have to commit to while you’re young.
That's correct.

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean they were isolated from each other, however. If we suppose that the population was actually 5000 people (just an example; I have no idea if this is a realistic number), then some percentage of those people died with having children, some may have seen their children die, etc. Of the 1280 people who still have living descendants, many of them would have had children with those people who did not, but those children (or grandchildren, etc.) eventually did not have any children themselves.

Within your own social circle, you likely know some people who will still have living descendant generations from now and some who will not.
Doesn't the existence of the LGPL negate your argument? It is the GPL with a linking exception, colloquially.

Have you thought about using Logtalk to implement this? The idea (or the parts I think I understood) is very interesting and out of systems environments I saw I think only Logtalk and Mozart/Oz offer features that could help in implementing it. Looking at your other posts, though, it looks like you're more interested in coding the entire system yourself instead of re-purposing something that already exists. :)

This is your mind being bias.

The point of my post was huge assumptions about how the data would be collected. It’s such in the box thinking that the only systems that exist are that of Apple and Android.

Further more the responses and down votes just hi-lighted the bias reactions of all those musk haters.

I don’t even have twitter or what ever they call it know. I just know what a bias zero thinking assertion looks like.
You wouldn’t even get that with most white collar knowledge work.

Perhaps you should title the post "Keep your files inside your VM on a Windows host".
I might be being a cynic right here but it seems to me "less competent" get less and are surpassed by "more competent" who get to the top and also get more ( money, status, better life ) so the later are of course less cynic.

It reminds me of those people financially set and secure for life who find the time to regularly do some random acts of charity as opposed to those skinflint poor individuals...

You're right about that, but unfortunately got the facts wrong. In reality most people that weren't high ranking officials were let go.
Anyone know what causes that?
Assignments are usually just a proxy for the skill which we're actually trying to teach or evaluate. The fact that a course assignment can be done by using a chatbot does not mean that the skill which that course is teaching can be done by using that chatbot.

If a coach assigns someone to repeatedly lift heavy weights in order to become stronger, lifting them with a forklift doesn't achieve the goal, because in real life that strength is intended for situations where you won't use a forklift. The same goes for exercising various "mental muscles".

The only way communities work is if people engage in some level of self-policing with regards to their behavior. Sites that fail to keep the kind of community necessary for people to largely self-police end up requiring top-down policing, or descend into cesspits.

I always love these articles. I hadn't read this one yet even though it looks like it came out in early 2020.

I think it might be worth a paragraph or two about the innovative use of MEMS gyros and accelerometers in the Wiimote, Motion Plus, and Nunchuk. There's a reasonably good writeup about them here: https://arduino-projects4u.com/wii-motion-plus/ .

For a time, these were one of the easiest and most cost effective sources of small IMUs, giving birth to projects like the early drone flight control system MultiWiiCopter.

OK, but the question remains, does it make sense for `Maybe` to implement `Foldable`?

The second link says:

> The Foldable class generalises some common "Data.List" functions to structures that can be reduced to a summary value one element at a time.

does it make sense for this to apply to `Maybe`? I guess technically, sort of, but I think it's not a perfect fit. Perhaps there might be some use cases for it, but I'd argue it also carries some risks, as demonstrated in the posted article.

There's definitely a bunch of us with long-term projects, but I think that impression that we don't play is mostly because devs split off into their own servers or game communities once their game is playable.

For example:

Arx is supposedly slowing down in its "old age" (it's been around longer than I've been using Evennia) but the last time I looked, there were over 50 players online.

Silent Heaven launched only a couple months ago, but it's consistently had between 15 and 30 players online every time I've checked. I haven't played it since I'm not into horror, but if it weren't for that I would definitely have tried it out. It's got its own Discord server so I figure all the chatter is over there.

Secrets of Aelandris has only had one playtesting window so far, but several of us in the Evennia community played and are looking forward excitedly to the next one. Playing it comes up every now and then in the Evennia community, but mostly we talk about it on the Aelandris discord.

Song of Avaria, which I also helped playtest, posts regular development showcases, and we've got multiple people in the Discord community looking forward to it launching alpha early next year. People ask about playing it every time a new showcase drops. (One should be going up this weekend, btw!)

The Mystavaria builders and testers are also all over on their own discord, so I have no idea where they're at in terms of activity. They aren't payable yet, but several of us are looking forward to trying that game out as well.

Machine Garden opened up a sandbox pre-alpha a while back (a year or two, i think) which got several players and active discussion on its discord, as well, although it's currently down for major code renovation.

And those are just the ones I'm personally familiar with that have names! (Aside from mine, of course, but it doesn't count yet.)

Most people who look into Evennia are looking to make a game, since that's what Evennia is for, so there's of course a bias in that direction in terms of the community discussion. But there's some games out there, and the ones that are playable definitely get players.

not adaptive for mobile

I look at pdfs on my phone all the time, it's great. 'Optimized for mobile' usually means oversized fonts and a shitty UI so I get RSI in my thumb from endless scrolling.

PDF is kind of an ugly format, but the problem with realtime text flow etc. is that designers are (at the behest of clients) are always trying to look visually distinct and as a result nothing is standardized or predictable at the rendering end. 95% of digital layout is ass compared to the print version.

One of the biggest contributor to performance differences was the implementation of the L2 cache on the motherboard.

More expensive chipsets tended to have better cache implementations... Assuming the system even had cache installed, those cheaper systems often paired a 486SX with a cheap motherboard and zero L2 cache.

When installed on the same motherboard, same cache/memory config, with the same graphics card, same bus speed, a 486SX should run Doom identically to a 486DX.

My theory is the McD corporate strategy is based on real estate values. They buy the very choicest corner lots in decent neighborhoods and hold them while the burger business simply pays the bills and the estate taxes per location, and they do very intensive deep dives into how to keep their property values high. Based on this, cheap ice cream would put enough actual ice cream and sweets stores out of business that it would affect the area, so they make sure consumers can’t rely on it.

Similar, yes. It supports many more protocols than SSH though[0]. It also supports multi-hops, even across multiple protocols if it can[1].

You're sort of asking the wrong question. The choice wasn't whether Maybe should implement length. Instead, there were two independent choices: should Maybe implement Foldable, and should length be implemented in terms of Foldable?

For the first, the answer is absolutely yes. You really want things like traverse and sequence to work with Maybe, and that requires Maybe to implement Foldable (on the way to Traversable.) It's incredibly useful to be able to treat Maybe as just another container type.

Whether length should be in terms of Foldable, by contrast, is a much more debatable question. On one hand, it means a lot of unexpected things can have length called on them. (length (3,4)) evaluates to 1, for instance; that's just almost never useful, despite being completely logical. On the other hand, it's really awkward to need a different function to get the size of every container type. Especially when you can write a length function using just Foldable. And I think that's what led to that decision - if the standard library doesn't provide that definition, a whole bunch of other libraries will.

I'm still not sure about that decision. It's got some weird corner cases. There are some cases where it allows bugs, as the article points out. But at the same time, I have written code that is happy to use that degree of polymorphism, and does so safely because it allows the caller to choose the concrete type.

Maybe the real problem isn't the existence of those instances. Maybe the underlying issue is that you can use ad-hoc polymorphism at concrete types without knowing what those concrete types are. The article did touch on that aspect in its final paragraph, when it mentioned monomorphizing length at the call site. But even this feels like it could easily introduce more pain that it solves.

I've spent more time here talking about the potential issue than I ever have spent dealing with it in real software. Maybe it's just not that big of a deal.
This semester, I regularly conduct RFC / whitepaper / chapter reading sessions during my hours. I let students use perplexity.ai, bard, chatgpt to help them understand what they otherwise can't.

Once they're done, they submit a one-pager on 3 to 5 subtle / smaller / things they find the most interesting or counter intuitive. At the end of the semester, I intend to share all their one-pagers among all of their classmates and keep an open-book test on it. Let's see how that pans out.
In other words.. You accept OL is useless,shrug and move on. Because it's barely functional
to real world behaviour instantiated in proprietary standards used by 99% of the producers.

It's not a bizarre hill, it's detail below your concern but it's a real problem in his (and I suspect my) contexts.

So.. you can't use OL to construct RFC internal references automatically.

You can't reliably cut and paste an OL into another form and maintain exact semantic intent of the numbering structure.

What a bizarre swap of hill for swamp you prefer to live in: live with the terrible design choices and abuse another list form.
IIRC the fastest base 486 (out of the box without trickery) was 50MHz. There was a DX2-66 (and DX2-50, which ran clock doubled with the rest of the motherboard at 25MHz). There was also the DX4 which despite the name was only click tripled, running as fast as 100MHz of a 33.3MHz. Other manufacturers produced faster clocked i486 compatible processors: I had an AMD 5x86 which was actually quad-clocked, running at 133MHz internally. For tight loops where the code and enough data for a fair few cycles fitted into its on-chip cache (something like 8K code & 8K data?) these were surprisingly speedy compared to Intel's 486s and even low-end (66MHz, and in some artificial tests 75MHz) Pentiums. Cyrix had some similar models that were quicker still for integer work, and IIRC cheaper so even better VFM for sure tasks, but had abysmal floating-point performance which was rapidly becoming pretty important for games around that time.

Doom used integer maths throughout, so would not benefit from and FPU, but did get a boost in complex maps from the faster internal clocks of doubled/tripled/quadded chips. The Quake era (maybe a little earlier for some more niche games like certain fight simulators) is when the FPU became a massively significant factor for home use (though it didn't exclusive use it: the original Pentiums' FPU wasn't trials fast enough so only something like 1/16th of the work was done there and integer approximations starting from those values were used between - improved further by the FPU being able to work on its next bits while the CPU ALUs could do there part, a hack somewhere between pipelining which 486+ units did naturally (& Pentiums more so due to extra ALU circuitry) and hyperthreading).
