Odin would very likely be a great choice for the stuff that you're trying to do. It's a very straight forward language and has a "vendor" (https://pkg.odin-lang.org/vendor/) part of the libraries shipped with the compiler that has lots of bindings for gamedev-related things, i.e. OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX, glfw, stb libraries, some audio libraries, etc.

On top of that it has swizzling in the language, some automatic array programming features and a standard set of modern niceties like good tagged union support, custom allocators that are standardized, and so on. It's a nice language for pretty much any use case when you want good fundamentals and straight forward solutions without much magic but for gamedev I don't think there's a C/C++ alternative that is as well suited as Odin overall.

If you want a brief (but enough to get me excited about trying Odin out) overview of the language you can find one here: https://odin-lang.org/docs/overview/

P.S. I've written a few posts on HN about what I like about Odin in more detail so I won't reiterate those things exactly here, but one of them is recent so you can find it in my comment history.

That's odd. Ask it to generate 3 moves and then pick the best. Even better: ask it to generate 3 moves with counter-moves, and then pick the best move.

As some folks like to say, “the cat’s out of the bag”. I am surprised open source isnt a bigger deal in the game dev world. The web is ruled by it. As i’ve been looking at godot recently, coming from the open source world, it was a breath of fresh air being able to read the source to understand what the engine does, and even to be able to make changes that suit my needs. You dont have to pick godot. Any open source engine that works for you is a good choice. Imagine you are leveraging work done by people with a similar need and similar challenges, instead of a bunch of disconnected business folks and product managers that build engines for the sake of building them. The engineers working on unity are great but we all know how engineering is enshitified as soon as business folks take control.

I’d say this to game devs - if open source works just fine for some of the most complex web and operating systems out there it will work great for game dev. Dont be afraid of making the switch.
Question-answering is something Google pivoted toward with great enthusiasm but never quite nailed down. They'd sometimes get some questions right, but it was more of a broken clock sort of a deal.
No, they said it was Georgist. Not that the rules incorporated Georgism.
Well, I certainly agree that engineers tend towards YAGNI and this must be avoided.

Refactoring is something that should be driven by
new features (or worst case towards rewrite),

This overlooks a whole other class of factors that can drive maintenance: changes in the environment.

Assuming we're talking about a program that does something useful and isn't just a screensaver, it's probably ingesting data from the outside world. That data can change in a variety of ways. API partners and users can introduce changes on their end and will eventually find new and annoying edge cases. Or maybe the volume of data increases by 100x and changes must be made on your end.

Or maybe your software sort of rots as the security vulnerabilities pile up. Eventually you've got to make major version or point upgrades to the framework and/or various dependencies.

We want to handle these demands judiciously and as a rule, yeah, refactoring isn't generally going to be the answer but sometimes it is.
> I wonder if some of the "autopilot" functionality for military aircraft is to swan-dive into water/forest if everyone has already ejected.

Not quite the same you are thinking about but something similar is documented behaviour of the Global Hawk. Obviously since that is a remotely piloted aircraft “everyone has ejected safely” is not the trigger for it.

The way it works at the flight planning stage the operators define pre-determined points, and if the system detects certain faults it cannot recover from it tries to fly to these points and crash land into them. They call these point “termination point” on land and “ditching point” over water.

In this document[1] you can read more about the selection criteria of such points.

This document[2] details for air traffic control under which conditions flight termination points are used. In short (page 22) when the aircraft is uncontrolable for landing or landing at a suitable airfield cannot be achieved safely.

I don’t really understand this argument. Patent law is just another moat. If it doesn’t exist for all competitors, it’s just different baseline for calculations. The market is still big and attractive, so all those who give up will open space for those who figured out how to survive without patents. Likely this will lead to a bigger concentration of capital, because in the absence of patent protections you may need to spend more on security. But it is happening anyway for other reasons, so we have to deal with monopolies anyway.
I think it is likely that the September 2021 cutoff is included in much of the recent training data and that's why it often defaults to saying that.

I experimented starting a new chat with different dates using the following format:

"I thought your knowledge cut-off was <Month> <Year>"

Out of five tries, each time it said some variation of "the knowledge cutoff is actually September 2021". This is why I think it is almost certainly due to training data, since the previous chatgpt system prompt mentioned that as the cutoff date.

Currently the invisible system prompt for ChatGPT's GPT4 seems to be:

"You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI, based on the GPT-4 architecture.

Knowledge cutoff: 2022-01

Current date: 2023-09-19"

I mean there's several existing solutions, NAT, ipv4 rationing, ip leasing, coexisting with ipv6.

Things look fine to me, the reality is dual stack, a full ipv6 transition is idyllic and pointless.

I'm certainly not the first ipv6 critic, and you may notice the nuance that I didn't advocate for not using it, I just don't advocate dropping ipv4. Furthermore it doesn't matter if I advocate it or not, like a train ipv4 keeps going, it's only ipv6 that is advocated.

I don't normally get into this type of conversation, and I don't mean to pile-on either, but I think that the target of the dismissiveness is a distinction worth pointing out. The post that you originally replied to was dismissive about some mindfulness techniques. You made it more personal, accusing the poster of being dismissive. This is directed at a person. It's less abstract, and their more likely to cause offence or annoyance.

My general rule is that I try to have thicker skin when it comes to assaults on ideas, and be careful not to offend persons.

Yes agree. Am sure it's because LLM developers want to ascribe human-like intelligence to their platforms.

Even "AI" I think is a misnomer. It's not intelligence as most people would conceive it, i.e. something akin to human intelligence. It's Simulated Intelligence, SI.

Oh snap. I just said a long-winded version of the same (didn't see because HN is gloriously old-fashioned)
We had in Slovakia in 2004 a small catastrophe in our tiny higher mountains (High Tatras) - wind up to 110 kmh IIRC, and literally large swathes of pine/spruce forests that were on higher grounds were cut like with lawnmower. They often broke in half with bare trunk still standing, not even ripped out of the ground. Then parasitic beetles had a feast and their population exploded.

Main reason was stated as monoculture planted decades ago, since these forests are pretty and they were used also for treating respiratory illnesses (clean mountain air with strong pine sap smell really helps, sort of natural aromatherapy).

Almost 20 years passed, its still a sad sight. More logging, some ad hoc growth but forest definitely didn't regrow in any meaningful form, rather fast growing bushes took over. There was a lot of fight between forest / natural park management and ecologists on how to proceed, and everybody (including forest) lost.
Information about cut-off date is very much part of its fine-tuning.

> What about if you're doing something that isn't illegal yet, but a new Politician decides he doesn't like the cut of your hair and then targets you later because you were doing it.

That would have nothing to do with parallel construction and everything to do with someone having sufficient political power to change the law to target you - either specifically or generally.

Someone with that much power could also just wipe out illegal search and seizure restrictions.

But again this is also based on a misunderstanding of the process: you can't use parallel construction to make illegally obtained evidence valid to use. You can only use it to indirectly guide the discovery of other evidence which must already exist and be plausibly findable by regular means.

i.e. if the police stop on the high way and notice disturbed ground and discover a dead body, that's something which could happen by pure chance. Parallel construction is suggesting that a police car should stop at a particular point on a highway, and have a good look around.

> How do you think people pay for things on the app store if not with a credit or debit card? You can also use paypal (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202631).

No, I understand that Apple will take many payment methods, which are then used when purchasing an in-app purchase.

What I object to is why this is the only way apps are allowed to take payment. Why can't they take card payments themselves, without having to go via Apple?

> Seems like you are just going off your own misunderstanding of Spotify's phrasing.

No, I understand the issue. It's been around since long before Spotify's PR campaign. Just because I don't share the same viewpoint as you, it does not mean I 'misunderstand' the issue.
It's weird, when I use it via the API it mentions July 2023 and it does in fact seem to know about recent events.
It's about sat imagery probably. CT scans serve as a proxy to sat photos.
Hence the complaints that Apple isn’t doing enough. It’s technically possible to know ahead of time if an SMS or call comes from a fraud operation or from an MFA number. Personally I don’t know if the phone is the right place to handle that. Seems like a carrier problem. But, other people in this thread are saying Android has better capabilities of filtering this abuse, so Apple ought to keep up.
> - When you crunch the numbers, it's really not that challenging to achieve.

I slightly disagree. It is kind of hard to achieve, especially if you're trying to control calories as well (and especially if you're trying to cut).

You're effectively swapping out a lot of otherwise-standard, tasty foods (usually carbs) for lots of food that is more expensive, often harder to come by, and often harder to make taste good on its own. It is much easier (and cheaper!) to eat a "normal" diet.
I'm on Telegram all day and I use that to remind me of things, thank you.
Re open source.

You extend even more with project governance, extending to copyright, user agreements and product lifecycles you can not influence.

That's the thing right? You don't need to extend it if it worked at the time. You have the source and you can employ someone to make it work. The risks are much less than a any other option. Copyright, access to source and even the ability to continue functioning almost make it a no brainer.

I do agree that at some point a decision has to be made. We often shortcut the right thing to do for the immediately profitable.

I should not be surprised, but I do get disappointed.
back when prompt-hacking was a thing, you could ask chatgpt to print out the system prompt (i.e. the part of the conversation before the user entered the chat). Iirc the system prompt hat this exact info in it. Iirc it was surprisingly light. Only the name and role of the AI, the cutoff-date and the current date.

edit: found an example https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/zuhkvq//
I'd say that my beliefs most closely align with geolibertarianism, though I would say in most cases a self-described libertarian in this day in age would generally find geoism antithetical. To me it's the only reasonable compromise for private land ownership, which is inherently unethical on top of the land value tax being the most ethical form of taxation.

Individuals will make poor decisions about what to do with land all the time, but I find that preferable to the government making those decisions about all land all the time, which is why a lot of progressive movements don't resonate with me. Private land ownership is useful and geoism aims to reconcile the ethical concerns and the more pragmatic ones, like disallowing owners from sitting on their property and doing absolutely nothing with it.

It is important to note that the one game provided as evidence of 1800ish rating is an opening blunder by stockfish that has occurred in at least 8000 human games. I would expect GPT-3 to be trained on several explanations of how to punish this specific mistake. In general, I would expect GPT's openings to be higher quality than the rest of its games.

The fact that it didn't play any illegal moves and was able to win once it had a +5 advantage is still enough to say it is at least 1400ish in the rest of the game.

Some of the other games [0] that the OP imported would not strike me as 1800 level play. In particular, the endgame play is atrociously below that level. None of them are labeled as stockfish vs GPT though.

You're definitely not wrong. Mindfulness tends to appeal to three types of people: people who want to "hack" their consciousness (these types often experiment with drugs, usually psychadelics), people who have mental health issues and don't want to use drugs, and spiritual/religious sorts who are looking for some form of spiritual meaning. Often you'll find people with some mix of these desires in the community. I think this makes sense though; the kind of people who are going to deliberately cultivate some property of the mind is generally someone who cares a lot about their mind for some reason or the other.

My earliest exposure to free software was via. GCC and Emacs. The early debates on Gnu/Linux, OSS vs. Free Software etc. were all things I imbibed back then. The ideological stand of the FSF was appealing to me when I was younger and really affected my outlook.

Over the years, I can't help but feeling that while the FSF's core message is still relevant and true, their tactics have more or less pushed them outside of the mainstream conversation on technology. This is a tragedy and I'm not sure what lessons to draw from this but I would have liked to see a larger role for the FSF in the modern tech. discourse.

Glad to hear people have reached out to help, but the sad thing is for every project like this there are a hundred more that die a quiet death every year.

Blackstone has no qualms with deleting services that no longer meet its needs (https://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2023/08/ancestry-disconti...) or paywalling records and then jacking up the price every few years (https://www.ancestry.com/corporate/blog/were-increasing-our-...).
