I am not a CS player though I spent several hours with the game. While it plays much better than CS:Go, it stutters surprisingly often for the first few minutes, even on my 5800x3d/6800xt machine. Despite the 300 FPS.

Shit happens and will be fixed. Still better than splitting the community. They need to work with AMD and resolve the issue.
95% correct. "Planting a lot of trees" has been proven dead wrong because of simple math, plant matter decay, and increasing fucking forest fires.

Startup IDEA: AI Chat bots promoting goods being a friend
The idea is to a create a network of chatbots acting as real people on various social media platforms.So this network of bots would be chatting/conversing with various people online and will eventually become their virtual friends.

So now for example a company approaches our startup to promote say mobile phones ,we will use this network of bots to create an artificial word of mouth thus giving sales a boast.

This network of bots could also create a community which could be used to create fake FOMO and promote brand.
For example a community created contains 90% our bots and 10% real members so with these bots web can create a trend in the community and introduce FOMO in the community to expand sales.
Great share.

SUV and huge trucks are not necessarily safer. At the very least it's more energy and momentum that must be dealt with.
The way this is explained is like it hasn't occurred to them that 'create a branch' doesn't have to mean '...off master' - I continue working with a new branch that depends on the old thing that's in a PR still simply by basing it on top - but if this comes from Google and Meta and is popular, obviously that's not the case.

My guess is that it's more about somehow seeing a more 'contextual' (not semantic exactly) diff in the second PR? So rather than including all of PR 1's changes that it's based on, just showing the actual diffs in the commits in isolation, or as if rebased (only PR 2's intended patch set, not the master fork point through tip of PR 1) on master?

Though I haven't read further than I can as a non-subscriber, perhaps it would be clearer when it explains how they're doing it on GitHub (the above would require some rebasing or target branch and further PR automation).
one of the all time greatest, always happy to see this pop up. i hope it never goes down.
It's absolving 'us' of blame - meaning our activities in causing the spillover event in the first place, and our failure to contain the outbreak - or even make it real for many in our population.

Much easier to identify a few bad actors (which can then be 'punished' so this 'never happens again') instead of the crapness of people in general (which crapness ensures that this will happen again, with bodybags and lockdowns, and probably quite soon)
> And the only way we'll get from here to there is to care about the things Marc Andressen decries: Social responsibility, tech ethics, Radical CS, etc.

Right but the problem with a lot of these positions is obstructionism. Take a look at the '70s environmental movement and the way its legacy, laws like NEPA and CEQA, are used to simply block development. Or look at the discourse around nuclear power.

Of course:

> Techno-optimism and techno-pessimism are both weak positions.

Which I wholeheartedly agree with. It just turns out that tradeoffs are difficult and that the electorate doesn't really care about nuance. They just want to know whether Andreessen is Good (TM) or Bad (TM). Should you clap for him or boo him on stage, that is the question of our times.
While I do agree with you, I do think we should be long past the point of needing to manually enter IP addresses. We have several good service discovery protocols, and DHCP and DNS, which are less great but still has pretty good tooling these days
Maybe true, but in other industries, such as ones that are more "business and engineery, there's less of this obsession with getting an ultra-genius, although we know how valuable engineering talent is.

As a result you get pretty average people. Even the weirdos tend to be just quiet and reclusive. My brother on the other hand, went to work for a smaller B tier to google, and he had multiple co-workers that were just beyond bizarre.

> My primary issue with the WP ecosystem is how folks end up paying for GPL software.

Why is that a an issue? Sounds like WP has solved a problem that an entire industry has wanted to achieve since the invention of the GPL.

Red Hat also sells GPL software. The problem for them is that customers are simply rebranding Red Hat at a cheaper price point, becoming competitors.

I'm kind of surprised this is not happening in WordPress land.
The decoupling is vastly overblown and likely impossible.
Walmart is able to provide cheap goods because it can strong-arm providers into taking a loss or operating at a break-even point just for the chance to sell at Walmart. It can also provide cheap goods because they pay their workers jack shit and instruct employees to use government subsidized healthcare and insurance.

It's totally possible to provide good pay, healthcare, etc... to employees, still have healthy enough margin % to make Wall Street happy, keep the C-Suite well paid, all while providing a great service at competitive prices to consumers. Maybe not enough to enrich the owners to a quarter trillion dollars in net worth, but plenty enough to keep the ship going. Case in point: CostCo. Whole Foods prior to Amazon was another.
I worked in a hospital that used dogs for bed bug inspections. They’d come every few weeks and walk through the building. It was interesting because people would be gush over the cute dogs until they took an interest in your work area. then it was oh god these dogs are harbingers of doom! And the poor dogs never got pet because everyone was scared they had bedbugs on them even though they were apparently combed after every site visit so the operators wouldn’t get bedbugs themselves

They were impressively accurate though. I did psychotherapy and because of those dogs I had to have 2 couches removed from my office. Yet they were implemented fast enough that I never personally had an issue at home. Although I was deeply paranoid of it for months after and was happy to leave that setting

The hard problem, in essence, deals with the question of how qualities emerge from quantities. Until we have explained this, then holding materialism is religious. That is, assuming as true something that we have no access to, no explanation for, and no reasons to believe it.

I am not sure why you think that panpsychism would be a religious stance? What's religious about assuming that the only _given_ of existence is in fact fundamental? And I'm not even arguing for panpsychism here, since I don't find it tenable. But at least it's not materialism, which I would argue is the maximum form of abstraction and therefore religious in nature.

"We believe the global population can quite easily expand to 50 billion people or more, and then far beyond that as we ultimately settle other planets."

And who's going to have these kids? Because it's become clear that 50B is never going to happen. Humans--really women--have no desire to procreate and spread across the galaxy in that way... at least not if you also support -- as andreessen says he does in the same manifesto -- human intelligence.

"We are told to denounce our birthright – our intelligence, our control over nature, our ability to build a better world." ... "Our present society has been subjected to a mass demoralization campaign for six decades – against technology and against life – under varying names like 'existential risk', 'sustainability', 'ESG', 'Sustainable Development Goals', ..."

Control over nature -- big claim for a species living through one of the biggest mass extinction events in earth's history. Andreessen's clearly a gambling man... but this time he gambles with the existence of human beings.. telling us to ignore the very fears that drive us to solve the problems we face, betting even without the threat of death, technology will save us from ourselves.

You think you're in control, right up until the hurricane comes and you run for your life, coming back only to see what it left for you to salvage.
Pyright is much better.

It is much better written, much more correct, has fewer bugs, and it is the default in VSCode so less friction to set up.

In my experience it isn't hugely faster so I wouldn't say that is a big factor. The main benefit is that it is just very correct and has very few bugs (and when there are bugs they are fixed very quickly).

I would avoid Mypy if at all possible. I once tried to fix a bug in it and the codebase was very very hairy. Partly that's because it predates official type hinting support, and partly because it supports a load of hacks to allow incorrect types. Sometimes even the way you write the type affects how it is interpreted (e.g. `a # type: foo` is different to `a: foo`).

The only times I would choose Mypy is if you really need one of those plugins you mentioned, or if you are adding types to a legacy codebase and can't face seeing how bad it really is.
Not surprising to see F₂⁺ & HF⁺ being observed; as a chemist it's what I would expect from a LiF system being bombarded with positrons. Really I'm surprised that it hasn't been tried before!

I have the same struggle in finding decent anime. Lately the anime world has deprioritized anime for art's sake in favor of commercial interests.

As far as movies go, I can't think of any intelligent and inspiring ones from the past 15 years besides GitS: Solid State Society, however, the movie only makes sense if you've seen GitS: SAC season 1 and 2.

You might enjoy Redline (2009) for it's audaciousness, but it's not deep. The Deer King (2022) is one I've been meaning to watch, but is likely to just be more of a feel good movie.

I know you said you weren't interested in watching a series, but you might enjoy the plot of Ichirou Inuyashiki (2017). It's available on Crunchyroll.
US standard of living is decreasing and will never come back. Many economic anomalies can be observed to prove this: inflation is just one. But I think the most dangerous anomaly has been real estate.

In, what is ostensibly the most progressive, most prosperous state in the union, you can build a "mini house" (accessory dwelling unit) on your property and rent it out. The ideal target market would be my generation (millennials) and the next (Gen Z), bc we can't afford homes in CA.

And now, you can even "monetize" your ADU...sometimes the free market does bizarre things.

Question - how long will this last before the young say "enough" and vote for politicians that just redistribute assets? Bc that historically has not worked well.

Anyway, see you in Texas. Or Florida.
As others have mentioned, it’s quite easy to structure a land value tax to avoid kicking little old ladies out of their homes. You are arguing against a strawman.

Yep, don't fuck with Postal Inspectors.

Anecdotal, second-hand story I remembered being told by a former colleague with some significant time working in the Postal service: state or city police pulled over a contracted semi truck carrying mail from one station to the other on suspicion of running un-taxed cigarette shipments from a reservation manufacturer. Because the semi was contracted by the postal service, they had the requisite security: tags, seals and the magical panic button in the cab of the tractor. The driver pushed the button when the state/city police broke the seal and started rummaging through parcels which summoned the inspectors, guns drawn to the scene. Apparently the Postal Inspectors arrested the -police- at that scene on breaking and entering mail facilities.

Some of the details pertaining to why the shipment was actually legal and the police didn't have cause/jurisdiction yadda yadda yadda I don't remember, but still a good story even if the telling of it by my former colleague was more engaging than I can recount.

The author lead me well, I had the same thought before he said it: Backgammon is a good balance between strategy and randomness, the perfect game.

I've been thinking about games as "shaped randomness" lately. Choose the right distributions, pick the right mechanics, stick some art on top to stimulate people's imagination and you have the ingredients of a good game.

Just rolling a dice is fun. What will it roll? There's a kernel of fun there, not much, but something. Add some art, like Snakes and Ladders, and you have a legit game that has lasted for centuries. Finally, add some actual decisions to the game, and now we have something really interesting.

I've also been viewing games through the lens of interaction and watching. I like to interact and make choices, but I also enjoy passivly watching the story unfold. The auto-battler genre shows people can enjoy games where 80% of the game is just watching the consequences of your choices unfold in a nice spectacle.
If you fly, you should be required to pay to offset using direct air capture at whatever the current market price is. I pay the fully loaded cost of all CO2 emissions my family is responsible for. The argument isn't "don't do this", the argument is "either avoid emissions or pay for them."

Are you comparing the light vehicle emissions of the low and middle class to discretionary pickup truck purchases, priced between $50k and $80k? If you want to drive such a vehicle, and it is a combustion version, as long as whatever mechanism is dispensing the fuel ensures you're paying for that CO2 to be sequestered back underground in a stable form, by all means, Canyonero! But that is not what is on offer at scale.

pyright and ruff are my new go to python tools, replacing mypy, pylint, isort and black.

So far the only thing that bothers me about pyright is that it can't infer the type of collections based on later insertions.

So in something like:

lst = []
lst.append(1)

lst is of type list[Any]

I also program in Rust so I kinda expect this to work :P

I asked the maintainer about this and this is apparently by design, though mypy handles this correctly IIRC.

The Target here in ATX next to downtown hired 2 ex-PMC's in full plate carriers. (APD's call backlog for nonviolent reports runs 36- to 48-hours, so it might as well be never. A private person must then either be equipped to defend themselves, cease venturing in public, or move because the police may be too busy or too unconcerned elsewhere.)
But do any of them reproduce without involving one?
I’m polyamorous. Being poly involves clear communication and consent of all parties involved. It involves respect for the other people. If Feynman was sleeping with his students wives and openly denigrating women, that sounds much more like the behavior of someone cheating than the behavior of someone practicing ethical non monogamy. Remember that back then, ethical non monogamy was much less common. The foundational books on the subject came out in the late 1990’s or after, and before that people didn’t even have the language to describe and negotiate what they were doing. It was much more common for one person inclined to this behavior to just cheat.

Feynman has been a huge influence on me. His outlook on science and the world helped shape my own. But we can’t ignore the flaws of our heroes, and it really sounds like he had a dark side.

Heavy duty, long distance hauling is something where trains excel at. It's one thing for short-distance distribution (i.e. in a city) where it's infeasible to serve industry and local distribution by rail, but everything else? We figured that stuff out almost a century ago.

> Incentives matter, if you want good products you need to incentivize making them.

Speaking about incentives, for-profit products have the worst ones. Would you rather use a twitter-like product built by people earning the more time you spend on it, or by people who keep their jobs if they manage to achieve a positive societal effect?

No, I don't think incentives are the issue here.

One issue is probably the slowness of public institutions in embracing change, which is also a good thing in some cases, but doesn't help when the goal is to build new tech products that enable societal change. It seems that private initiative works best when it's about inventing stuff, but not when it's time to implement it in a society. Although that could be changed, if governments weren't so hellbent on delegating so much to private initiative.
