How long will it take for everyone else to adapt this technology? More precisely, what is preventing the current companies to use this technology to create a video game? Is it the rendering technique, quality of mesh, easiness to edit, or something else?

So now we have this technology, say in 10 years it is accepted world-wide. What does this imply to the old methods? Are they going to be phased out? Is no one going to use them?
> pulverize young men with progressive dogma that vilifies them

Lol, having been a young man at one time, young men need MORE reality checks, not fewer. You have to learn that your actions have real consequences, that "pretty sure" isn't enough when there are real stakes, that "luck" and "fair" are meaningless, that you're not entitled to anything from anyone, and that you have to earn respect from people for them to take you seriously. If that's considered "pulverizing them with progressive dogma", then I'm all for it.

When you have new tech that will “capture the light cone of all future value” [1] you’ll attract a herd of followers, and that’s where the outsized ROI comes from. The gain is from collecting and arbitraging disciples. The product doesn’t necessarily need to lead those disciples to a better place.

You make a move in Go, it feels good, you mentally play out likely lines of play and they feel good too, but there is a grey cloud obscuring some lines of play. You can't quite see every possible outcome, not even close. Uncertainty lies ahead in that cloud beyond our mental abilities. What do we call that uncertainty? It's quite similar to randomness whatever it is.
>1031 into rental properties and live lavishly literally anywhere else in the world.

That is an optimistic spin on a situation that can play out in several ways. What you describe is the best possible outcome. Another, pessimistic, way of phrasing that is that you're kicking out grandma because she is too poor to pay the taxes. Nevermind if it's the place where she raised a family, built a house, and had an entire life's worth of memories. She should be forced to move somewhere else to make room for Hollywood producer man and his mistress?

The economic incentive to build housing and lower prices already exists. I can buy a piece of land that has 1 house on it, bulldoze the house, and then build a multi-unit condo on it (easily quadrupling the number of people who can live on that piece of land). I will make a ton of money doing that because 3 extra families can live there and all pay me for the housing. If you let this take on a city-wide basis, prices will come down. However that incentive has been effectively killed because the city has something called "zoning". Which means the city mandates exactly what is allowed to be built on each parcel of land, in excruciating detail. If you don't believe me just google "FAVORITE-CITY zoning ordinance". The vast majority of housing in cities and towns in the US is zoned as "single family" which means that even if you own a piece of land and want to build more housing, the city will not allow you. To change this you have to go to the city zoning board and ask them to change the zoning for your land. Guess who the people on that zoning board are? People who own single family homes in the city. They do NOT want to see the character of their neighborhood change, they will deny your request in a heartbeat.

So we're prioritizing the "character" of our neighborhoods instead of the people who actually live in them? That seems completely backward.

Source: I have physically tried to build housing and been stopped by the city zoning board.
>> ...but when it comes to personal life, he was just an asshole

I don't know about you, but physical abuse (e.g. choking his spouse if she interrupted him while he worked) goes way beyond asshole territory IMHO. We're talking about someone who was essentially an incredibly cruel, if not monstrous person.

But what generally happens with these types of things is that history tends to treat famous men very kindly and overlook or even completely erase their dark sides. That is indeed what has happened with Feynman.
> the bill requires cities to opt into the program

In California, you can NOT sell your ADU right now. Cities might opt in, but they haven't yet, so it's premature to say that you "can now" do so.
> Although chess and Go are beautiful games, their reliance on strategy means they suffer from a different sort of problem. Unless players are perfectly matched, the outcome can be rather predictable. In the perfect game, you should still be in with a shot of winning even if you’re not as practised as your opponent. An element of uncertainty is required. We decide to play because there is a chance either of us can beat the other.

Go doesn't really suffer from that problem since it offers a great handicapping system. The weaker player can take Black and start with placing n > 1 stones on the board as their first move.

And an even finer control is available, if for instance Black tends to win 2/3 of the time with 3 handicap, but 1/3 of the time with only 2 handicap. One can adjust the komi (points that White adds to their score at the end of the game to compensate for moving second) by half-integer amounts.

Thus you can get very close to each player winning about half the time.
I feel like LLMs won't find their success in this "here's a LLM product!" kind of way but more by being leveraged internally by companies to increase velocity, do more with fewer employees, etc. I've certainly gained a lot from LLMs just by getting help on my own projects.

It is worth keeping in mind that plenty of environmentalism over the past century has been specifically hostile to the existence of humanity. Either they don't care at best whether humanity continues to exist, or they view humanity as a blight (on a supposed innocent or pristine nature) that needs wiped out. It's not an uncommon view to see espoused today, and it gained traction over five decades ago in the environmentalist movement.

But end with the exact opposite conclusion:

So... In the end, no steam libraries are worthless and no one got a VAC ban because of it. It seems like the shoot first and ask questions later approach was somewhat successful again.
With all due respect (which is a lot; this blog post series is quite good!), it's not quite 98%. The webserver will gzip it in transit, and the first, most inefficient JSON bit of data gzips, from 255 bytes, down to 152 bytes. 152 is still 27% larger than the final, binary, format, of 119 bytes.

Not that I think this optimization is unnecessary - I very much quite enjoy products that use CRDTs under the hood and undoubtedly had this sort of optimization and evolution to a binary format from JSON done. But I wanted to give a very brief but bigger system picture of where this fits.
This is cool, is there even a mildly successful recent game made with it?

I added a bit to my previous answer before seeing your reply. But yes, it does not really matter in terms of notation if you use ℕ and ℕ₀, or ℕ⁺ and ℕ. But both ℕ₀ and ℕ⁺ are slightly annoying compared to just ℕ, and so it changes where you start counting from: 0 or 1. If you start counting from 0, you will mostly not need ℕ⁺, and mostly just use ℕ and ℤ. If you start counting from 1, you will use ℕ more than ℕ₀, but you will use ℕ₀ often enough so that you need ℕ, ℕ₀ and ℤ.

Logic likes to unify things, so formal definitions usually start with 0, and conflate sizing and labelling. Note that Peano first started counting from 1. Later on he changed it to 0. Doesn't mean that's the right thing to do, though. Maybe these two concepts should be kept separate: ℕ for (default) labelling, and ℕ₀ for sizing.

Some agencies, ones you might not even expect like the USPS and FDA, also have law enforcement powers, but have very narrow jurisdiction (relative to general law enforcement agencies like the FBI). So when a case actually does fall under their jurisdiction, they execute their duties "with extreme prejudice", so to speak. Assuming the story from the OP you replied to is true, the fact that they arrested the police officers would show how seriously they take their duties, even if the officers tampering with the mail was due to carelessness while they themselves were performing their duty.
> Wrong. Try what I said. It was recent enough the results are reproducible.

Nope. What really happened is that an ad company might have started collecting information about your IPv6 prefix, precisely like they might store information about your IPv4 address. That's all the information they can reconstruct about the hosts inside your LAN.

The paper you linked showed that if a host uses the method for generating pseudorandom addresses described in RFC 4941 instead of using completely random one, and if the attacker has a complete history of your generated pseudorandom addresses, and if the attacker has successfully defeated MD5 on a practical time scale, then it's possible that they could guess your future pseudorandom address.

In practice, most OSes generate truly random addresses, and an advertiser doesn't have your complete history of generated addresses, and the advertiser wouldn't spend all those resources to track you specifically anyway. In other words, that 8 year old paper isn't relevant to the situation today.
Mostly, not absolute. We have flukes like Theranos and FTX. But for the most part. It's not a matter of opinion, the media and progressives have convinced themselves that we should abandon capitalism while Asian countries have adopted it wholesale and lifting people out of poverty at an unprecedented rate.

Meanwhile, our progressive centers are crumbling. And we want more of this–and it manifests in the most glib form as–Billionaire hate.

The reason why you're seeing so much push back for this manifesto is because it goes against the power centers of progressivism.

Netflix went from the best game in town to the absolute king of clowns.

It takes a deeply talented team and years of solid effort to blow a lead like that one and lose customer loyalty in the process, but I think a great first step is hiring tons of talent from the television industry. It really helps when you bring in one of the least visionary industries in America to drive your tech company.

Constantly raising easy money from Wall Street to fuel unsustainable growth and years of losses with originals that have been mostly garbage or cancelled constantly wasnt a good plan — but it seemed like the best they could come up with.

Netflix is just going to end up being the next Blockbuster and Apple, Microsoft or AT&T will end up buying them or they’ll merge with Comcast when their price comes down to earth and the polish eventually comes off the market.

Their pivot into gaming is making me lean towards Microsoft.
Find me one contemporary example (ANSI C) with a disassembled screenshot.

This is writing sizeof(char) (== 1 almost everywhere) zero to address zero. It is not using a NULL macro or other predefined symbol.

In the real world, this would generally write a byte to address 0000:0000, leading to UB because it would fuck up the divide-by-zero IV.

PS: I used Borland C++ 3.1, Microsoft C++ 3.x and 4.5x, Watcom, and early GNU.
From the game's perspective this was a cheat. The anti-cheats job is to make sure nobody tresspasses with the game logic.

They modified where methods returned to so they could run their own code before returning to the game.

VAC cannot determine if this was a bhop-wallhack or an anti-lag feature.

It just sees that someone modified the game.

This is like walking up to someone's building and spray painting a mural without permission. No matter how innocent or well intentioned it is - internal modification is a red line.
You will know when your children start to reach adolescence. It's a story as old as parenting itself. You don't control your children. They are products only first of the family they are born to, but very rapidly -- probably around kindergarten -- they become primarily products of the society they are in.

You can try to block it all you want. It won't work, unless you have some sort of extra compliant child. Which has its own clear downsides.

I would very much argue the opposite: having a decent game ruined by luck of the draw is the very opposite of fun. It's bad enough when a winning player loses a game by accidentally making a game-ending mistake, having a winning player lose without even making a mistake simply by having the dice/random number generator/whatever saying "no" is awful.
A universal Turing machine can be made with two symbols, so in the sense that there's a reduction from one to the other, yes.

I would say a better question is to determine if there's some type of polynomial time/space reduction from BB(x,y) to BB(z), in construction and runtime. I suspect yes though I wouldn't be able to rattle off a proof without a lot of effort. See [1] which might answer this question.

The emissions per killowatt-hour of consumption has gone down, even as energy use has gone up. It has gone down so much that absolute emissions are down, even as absolute energy use is up.

It's not clear to me how this would change if we got more manufacturing here. Energy use would go up, but emissions may not given the continuing decrease per unit energy.

While I agree, I understand that some people can prioritize the feeling of mastery over all other aspects of gameplay. When there's no randomness, then the game is a pure test of skill. If you want to get into a single game as a hobby, then having low chance and a high skill ceiling is a feature that allows for continuous fulfillment of that need.
Again, if you already know with 100% certainty the fruits the search, then there's no need to do it as you can already prove whatever case you're building.

People are presumed innocent until proved guilty which is to say search warrants are practically always used against innocent people.

And just because a search warrant comes up short does not mean the person is innocent.

A person's rights are not absolute. There are limitations, exceptions, and cases where they are taken away. Search warrants are an exception where a persons right to privacy are infringed upon in service of a greater good. It's not done lightly, and it will never be perfectly accurate.

Taken to an extreme, if we treat the right to privacy as an absolute, that would mean one could murder with impunity on private property so long as it's out of view. People could strongly suspect, but not prove, the murders without infringing on the right to privacy. On the other hand, a murder occurring doesn't give LE carte Blanche to search the houses and computers of everyone in the county. We have to compromise in between.

It's a grey area, but I think in this instance it was perfectly reasonable and narrow. But it could be argued that this is to the left or the right of where the compromise ought to be.

The highest gasoline taxes in the US are a combined state + federal total of $0.76/gallon in Pennsylvania.
The author is asking for something which isn’t possible. They are asking for a game which isn’t too random but allows novices and experienced players to have a fair match. That is, they’re asking for a game where the players’ moves are a function whose output is predictable but also not predictable. This is a contradiction.

There are functions which are highly unpredictable but we just call them “chaotic” or “random”. Anything less than that can be learned and thus a player with more experience will have an advantage.
