The problems with recycling plastic are well established. Multi generational heats even under the most beneficial boundary conditions will increase the moduli (brittle), slightly increase tensile, but in general the stress strain curve becomes less predictable with each heat (generation). Under practicable circumstances, waste plastic is full of many variations of additives (colorant, UV inhibitors, glass fiber etc...). All of the real-world circumstances make recycling on a large scale less feasible. There is a SPAC called "purecycle Technologies, PCT" if one is interested in following some of the latest research. Plastics are wonderful to design and mfg in the consumer product world but IMHO, the true cost of this material is not put on the front end and it should be due to the recycling problems
Exactly.

> and I often will play the game on silent with some other source of audio playing alongside.

GP doesn’t listen to any sounds coming from games. That means sound effects, background music, etc.

That claim is so interesting to me. I don’t doubt it. But following GP’s logic, he must also think music composers for games aren’t important either.

Imagine Ocarina of Time being played without sound lol. Or even a music game being played without sound.

Or even games like Overwatch. There might be accessibility modes but if you don’t turn them on, you’re going to be SOL when someone on the enemy team does an audio cue and is about to ult and you can’t see them.

I do play games without sound sometimes. (For example, you don’t really need audio cues for League and I won’t listen to sound if my hair is drying and I don’t want to put the headphones on.) But it depends on the game and the circumstances, of course. That’s what I think a reasonable person would say lol

Back to specifically voice acting, I do recall the Overwatch voice actors having a huge fan base early on.
Interesting. I always use an adblocker so never noticed. There are a couple of really good ones out there. You may want to try uBlock or Adblockplus. Both seem to work well.
I’m in favor of regulation, but that’s not happening now for the same reason that we have the problem in the first place. We’re all tied up together in capitalism, and anything that slows the acceleration of growth that our retirement funds require is not going to fly. If it’s going to happen, it’s because enough people have been excluded from the rewards of the system (we’re getting there).

Easy to nay-say, though. To me, a solution starts with spreading those values that make it possible for _consumers_ to stop sliding down the growth-over-everything slope. Mittelstands, shinise, Patagonia, yada yada. Can you as an entrepreneur make a sustainable business that isn’t just for well-off conscious consumers? What’s the product where longevity is inextricable from the core feature set, not just a trade-off with cost?

Right-to-repair is a decent example of where regulation has enough support across the ideological spectrum to get a foot in the door. It would be cool if a company who made profit on service now decides it doesn’t want to compete on service and instead takes more profit upfront with a higher-quality product. Forcing USB-C on phones feels like a small thing to me, but if it sets a precedent where interfaces are standardized for sustainability, that could be amazing. (No, I’m not worried about governments slowing progress. Locked ecosystems are doing just fine at that.)

For sure. The repo was actually just private until a moment before I commented above. The long term goal is to refactor to a point where installation can proceed with a minimal/straightforward CMake/Racket build, without any archaic dependency versions of weird hoops.

For the time being the REAMDE.macOS is likely to be the shortest path to getting things running. That said, it's mostly Intel specific. Running on M1 Macs presents its own set of tooling issues (to do with Racket no longer using GNU Lightning).

I still need to fully document that (unstable) process.
> we should focus on coming up with better alternatives to what we have

Agree.

But the best alternative might actually be one where artists (Disney included) can’t “own” their art and where you can’t make money selling copies of digital files.

I agree, but I typically count "small, deterministic, fast" tests as unit tests.

Ideally, you'd test everything via the public interface (be it an API, a UI, or an SDK.) That would make it so you only change your tests when the user-facing behavior changes.

But your public interfaces are typically doing slow, non-deterministic things (e.g., calling external services.) Therefore, they aren't easy to test. Some people fix this by testing individual classes. It's better (but harder) to isolate slow/non-deterministic dependencies to small services that can be faked/stubbed out. Then you can have your cake and eat it too: Your tests are fast/deterministic, and they can still be end-to-end (and therefore not need to be updated whenever internals change.)

Your intuition is leading you in the right direction. There are ways to write "end to end" tests that have all the benefits of "unit" tests. The (free) book "Software Engineering at Google" has chapters on testing that describe the techniques better than I can. (They reach the same conclusion about how testing internals ends up being less useful than testing the public interface, and then they explain techniques/tradeoffs.)
The most widely cited theory is that the 1918 influenza pandemic originated in Haskell County, Kansas in early 1918.

Some key details:

Haskell County is a rural county in southwest Kansas, about 300 miles west of Kansas City.

In January and February 1918, local newspapers reported an unusual flu-like illness spreading in the county. This pre-dated flu reports from other U.S. areas by several weeks.

Dr. Loring Miner, a physician in Haskell County, observed this early outbreak and alerted the U.S. Public Health Service. He described an unusual respiratory illness that was spreading rapidly, but milder than the flu pandemic strain that emerged later.

Haskell County residents were known to have traveled to Camp Funston in Fort Riley, Kansas in February and March 1918. In March, Camp Funston reported a severe flu outbreak, followed by rapid spread of flu across the U.S. and globally over the following year.

Leading researchers like John Barry, author of "The Great Influenza", have concluded that the timing and pattern of these outbreaks strongly points to the virus originating in Haskell County and spreading from there to Camp Funston.

However, it's not definitive. Without viral samples and genetic sequencing from that era, the precise geographic origin cannot be proven. But the Haskell County theory provides the strongest evidence based on historical timelines and early outbreak patterns.
It’s not true. And using the 70s as proof is either dishonest or lacking knowledge: gold rose in the 70s because an artificial pinning of its price was removed.
But a rule to hold 25% of your wealth in (physical) cash doesn’t seem well balanced. Imagine stashing $250,000 in notes somewhere. Do you put it in a safe in your house and hope your house doesn’t burn down or get burglarized? Or do you spread the cash across your multiple properties (that you don’t rent out)?
I also isn't accurate. The Elves are generally good but don't help at all costs, they are fairly self-serving (or seem to be). Gollum is a swing b/w pity and anger. Gandalf and Aragorn tend to hide information (for the betterment of the mission it seems). Plenty of other "characters" are self-serving, Eagles, Beorn, Mr. Bombadil. Even Sauron was once good and there's hints that people believe he isn't pure evil or had some good to do.
Exactly. This is about games like GTAV and RDR2. These games don't exist without whole casts of talented actors, and they're SAG-AFTRA because every working actor at that level belongs to the union.
Spain was not participating in WW I so there wasn't the same degree of censorship.

The "cash" in the article does not mean physical cash. It means money in a bank account.

No. Just No.

Look Brexit was shit. But it was democratic shit. 20 million people did not get tricked by their Facebook feeds. Hell 20 million people did not get mind controlled by Nigel Farage's "I'm just sayin" approach.

20 million people were asked "the country is run by thousands of highly educated,
slightly patronising, articulate, over-achieving technocrats who want the best for everyone and frequently find the laws of unintended consequences bite and have not yet worked out that not everyone lives in leafy surrey. Do these people annoy you? vote now"

Oh hell I don't know why 20 million people voted for economic and cultural self harm. Because we aren't sharing out the wealth properly I guess. But it was not because "we were tricked". It's because "we refuse to accept the model of how the world works thet you are operating on and want to use ours. The democratic version of Adam Savages "I reject your reality and substitute my own"

The problem is without an agreed reality to substitute everyone put in their favourite untested political world view.
The AI debate is pretty dumb imo. It’s not a winnable fight. Background actors and stunt people and minor voice actors are ultimately fungible. The tech will soon arrive that such things are easily generated at an extent and quality that it’s cheaper to do it with an all digital pipeline without models that are trained on these people or are perhaps trained on them in countries where any hard won battles here are ignored. You won’t have 30 background actors. You’ll have one digital artist with tools. You might have 30x as many movies if you’re lucky.

Avoidance of the fine is very easy - just stick to the speed limit. It’s especially nice for people who don’t drive.

But the impact of speed cameras is well understood - it does lead to people slowing down. And it turns out speed is incredibly important, even small differences in speed, in the outcome of a car crash.

Exactly. Self-driving is a far more complex problem. The car has to get it right, right here on the road, little to no margin for error.

The script-writing AI, voice AI, actor-image AI will be used to create a multitude of options, and all but one will be thrown away anyways. Perfection isn't necessary, realtime isn't necessary, and a human correcting things here and there is always still an option. Compute resources are also far less limited, it doesn't have to fit in a "car" form factor and power consumption.

> actors can be replaced by AI

Actors' appearances can be replaced by AI. Their voices can be too.

Actors' performances cannot. Not now and not any time in the near future. Not vocally, not facially, not physically. AI can map one vocal performance to another voice. It can't produce a vocal performance full of emotion that nails exactly what the scene is about, in the first place.

Hmm seems like he was right about the ego part then.
"It's always strange to see folks defending this bizarre idea that symbols somehow become 'tainted' by any oblique association whatsoever with right-wing undesirables."

Not really that bizarre. Change in meaning has happened with plenty of things over time. Be it with word meanings ("gay"), or with the exact scenario you described (the swastika).
That’s what the union is seeking.
Being a quite literal Luddite is never in your self interest long term. History has taught us that technology will and should replace jobs, and we are better for it. We should roll with it gracefully rather than trying to dig our heels in fighting the inevitable.

Asking technology companies to not use AI in building their games is simply absurd.

It’s hilarious to me that people on HN whose literal job is to build things that replace menial jobs can’t see this. How many of you are working on a SaaS that replaces hundreds of paper pushers?

The linked page[1] is an excellent example why potentially ingenious products can fail.

The writing on that page is as bad as it could possibly be.

There is an opening paragraph:

“Lively is a new approach to Web programming..”

which is nice. But next there are just three isolated links with absolutely no annotation.

Wait what?

Of course what you say (and do) affects how others perceive you. Just as Uncle Jim drunkenly announcing over Xmas dinner how that Hitler guy had a good plan will affect how everyone sees him in the morning, your twitter feed will have an effect on how your neighbours talk to you.

That's a good thing 99% of the time. Social strictures have been how humans managed society for thousands of years. It can lead to terrible things of course - but we like to think we have built systems of justice and governance to overcome them.

But suddenly making everyone invisible and able to speak and act without consequences seems a bad idea in the real world - i am not sure why it's a good idea online.
Is not even owning a laptop the new norm for post-college GenZ?
A friend of mine claimed that most Americans under 30, after college, don’t even have a laptop (nor desktop) computer - and more than that, they have no interest in even getting one.

Thinking about it, I realized that, other than college papers, most normal people never type anything at length, and for shorter typing like quick DMs, your touchscreen iPhone is perfectly fine. And most professionals need a computer for work but your job gives that to you. And in this context, doing 100% of your personal computing, internet surfing etc on your iPhone so you don’t even need a laptop makes sense and this the assertion that most don’t have one or an interest in getting one reasonable.

Have you all seen this pattern as well?

While my analysis above makes sense so I can believe the pattern could be true… on the emotional level, I’m still shocked and a touch saddened by it. 20 years ago, I would have predicted that having a computer would be an essential 20 years in the future. And it makes me (at 47) feel old for something I never thought would make me feel old: always taking my beloved Macbook with me!

PS: minor clarification: I put “post-college” in the title. I don’t mean to emphasize “at the moment when you are 22 and graduate college”; rather I mean, just people in their 20s now - with the exception of those in college because presumably you still need a laptop in college.
It isn’t ironic, it’s precisely how it’s supposed to work.

Laws take freedom (as in do whatever you want) from people and give it to other people so the total expected gains are bigger than without the law, pretending that dishonest lawmakers don’t exist (false obviously). Also, all laws are bets on their outcomes and sometimes they go south.
It’s a preprint on arXiv, not the Magna Carta.
I just watched Oppenheimer, and I remember thinking how this would be much better as an HBO style multi season drama. But there's no way they'd be able to sign actors consistently for the many seasons it would take to cover all the material... using AI actors however, they would be able to keep consistent characters even as the actors switch out. Of course it's a race to the bottom, but think of all the talented actors who can't work because they don't have the right "look" and didn't get a lucky break.

He didn’t say “could have” though did he? They never do.
The advice says keep 25%, but it also says to rebalance every year. In a year when stocks are down, cash becomes a larger fraction of your portfolio and you would use it to buy stocks precisely when they are at their lows! On the flip side, when stocks are great, then cash becomes a smaller part of the portfolio and rebalancing implies selling stock when it is high.

I do agree overall that these transitions happen infrequently enough that the opportunity cost of not being in the market is likely to outweigh the potential upside of being ready to buy at a dip

Bank accounts being frozen has absolutely nothing to do with holding cash. Also, anyone saying "holding cash" almost certainly does not mean in a safe/under your mattress. It means in a bank account somewhere. Hopefully a high yield savings account.

And, the strategy to dealing with bank accounts being frozen is multiple bank accounts at different, unrelated banks. Same with credit cards.

This is false, there are thousands of examples of products 'in the wild' containing trade secrets that are difficult enough to figure out by reverse engineering that they are effectively considered such, even by industry experts.

e.g. Apple's fixed glass trackpads

Also by definition they cannot be 'invalidated' since trade secrets are never 'validated' in the first place, unlike patents, copyrights, or trademarks.
