Agreed. First time I launched it on my lowly 6600XT it defaulted to high settings at 4k, completely unplayable (like 3fps).

Reading Reddit and going down to 1080p mediumish with depth of field turned off and it's fine, 30fps. It's a very fun game!

I have absolutely no idea why they didn't turn the defaults down. It would have been a 5 min config change surely and the impressions of the game would have been vastly vastly better.

It does look terrible for me though, despite being fun. The shadows are terrible and there are loads of rendering glitches.

I'm also a bit concerned now my city is getting bigger at how poor the traffic wayfinding is. Seems to be as dumb as CS1 (with no mods) which is really bad, with the added nuisance that the traffic cycle seems to be basically 0 cars until rush hour then a massive flood of traffic.

It's actually quite ironic that all I really wanted from CS was faster performance in bigger cities (huge fail from CS2 here), better traffic simulation (jury is out but isn't looking great) and better road tools (this is what cs2 is great at).
It's really weird how they just gave up on making low cost cars.

there is already a very good theory. see this interview with an expert from Yale:

garbage data into the model, garbage out.

Detailed summary from interview:
• only 1 hurricane hunter flight was done into this storm.
• mexican hurricanes just don’t get as much reporting coverage (historically). For example for atlantic hurricanes, NOAA hurricane hunter airplanes have tail doppler radar, which provides good data to feed into the model.
• without detailed doppler radar, they had to fallback to satellite measurements.
• Mexico doesn’t have ground based radar coverage at all, like the US coast does.
We used a luggage forwarding service when we did an Alaskan cruise recently. The trip was 2 weeks total and we needed to pack for temperatures ranging from the low 40s to the high 80s. Plus my wife is pregnant and we had our toddler with us.

It was a little stressful worrying about whether our bags would actually be there on the ship, but it was well worth not hauling everything around.
>I just know more about these things than you seem to do.

No you're being pedantic. I don't think you know more.

Think about it. We both agree math is discovered. So why the hell are we diving into this tangent? It's because you decided to say that logic is made up and then subsequently agree it's not. The nuance of whether and what part of logic is made up is pedantic.

>When I look at the book you cited, it's just full of really simple stuff made really complicated. Pointless, indeed. Personally, I am more interested in the opposite direction. But that's just my personal opinion.

Sure tbh I never fully read the book. Skimmed. Seems to be a good resource for beginners. But I also don't think you're an expert.

Your interested in the opposite? You mean the philosophy of programming? Well good on you. You go study that then. Again I can't understand your genius.

I suppose it is effectively a rounding error unless you change the actual protocol.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some trivial way for the manufacturers to add ultra low speed non-bluetooth data to the Bluetooth chips though, so you could have 2400 baud IDs with microwatts of power.

But it's probably not worth it since I suspect the real power drain on airtags comes from the high update rates and maybe the 2 way communication.

That is an odd bug I have seen before with a browser (not sure when or when). It freaked me out back then though.

Another peculiar detail I saw on landing page is screenshot of management interface. It must be old as it shows various VMs including FreeBSD 12.1 and Ubuntu 20.10.

Not just that: you can perfectly happily poll a marker you inserted into the CUDA stream, interspersed with sched_yield() syscalls to let other processes get work done in between you checking if the GPU got to a point where you can retrieve (as/if relevant) results and submit new work.
You would have to dial the scheduler time slice to not keep those other processes running long enough after you yielded for your queue of submitted work to run dry before you get to top that queue off. This isn't as critical when you can completely fill the scheduler queue (I remember ~1000 entries, but it's been years and I haven't checked again if I even remembered correctly. Don't rely on this!), as you may want to force sleep there for some millisecond(s) to keep the CPU core sleeping instead of merely allowing other processes to get work done.

This gets to the crux of my first thoughts when I read the marketing copy: can they deliver (reliability).

They do admit very clearly that what they're doing is hard and that at many points during development they were reluctant to be too ambitious (for obvious reasons), but at each stage they did just that: proceeded with the most ambitious option. That takes a huge amount of self belief that might be warranted or might be hubris. As you point out, untimely the success of Oxide won't only hinge on ability to deliver on that self belief, but more on their ability to convince prospective customers that they have competency to do what noone else can.

I fully support every part of their approach in theory but my wizened traveled self thinks it smells a little too good to be true.

I am probably in the minority but I actually like Leetcode style interviews and to a lesser extent system design interviews. I think they stick to this style, even if it isn't ideal, because

1. Easier to judge general capacity to break down problems/think on a smaller problem that doesn't require as much prior knowledge

2. Easier to distribute the range of people who can conduct interviews, rather than needing a specifically competent senior engineer whose time is more valuable

3. Consistent style and non-leading interviewers make it easier to compare interviewees on a case-by-case basis rather than there being a risk that certain interviewers style lends candidates performing better/worse

As bad as it is, one good interview round and you're set for a very high paying job for the next 5+ years at a company with great benefits. Even with the shittiest interviews I think it's a good trade off.

And a tricky part of this, for certain kinds of nonprofits, is that you'll be penalized for it because your efforts to raise more money will be classed as overhead and will lower your efficiency rating on various charity-rating lists.

A nonprofit that spends 1% of its funding on fundraising and barely scrapes by each year will be rated as more cost-effective than a nonprofit that spends 10% of its funding on fundraising and grows its donations by 15% a year, even though the latter is ultimately going to be able to devote far more resources to its programs.

> Python is no more "about" data science than it's "about" web services or platform development or infrastructure management.

Amen, brother. It's incredibly annoying how every new niche that Python accreted over the years, is full of people who firmly believe Python exists only for them. At one point it was LISP refugees, then markup junkies (like me), then sysadmins, then 3d artists (!), then webapp jockeys, and now it's datascience and machine learning. Every kid thinks the world is built for him, but pushing such limited worldviews can only box the community into a corner - just look at Ruby to see what happens then.

> no climate models for the state of the climate that we’re living in right now

That was the overall impression I got from the article: model after model predicted unremarkable intensification, and they were consistently wrong.

Out models are only as good as the input parameters, all of which are based on data from a past that no longer applies. Is there a way to apply climate change modelling to short-term weather modelling? Change the forecasting from "we expect such-and-such to happen because that's the most common case over the past 50 years" to something like "in the past we'd expect such-and-such to happen but including more recent work we expect a different thing"?
> I've extended Python with C for funsies, but have never, not once, needed to do it at work.

I used to do it much more in my earlier days of python 2 in around the mid-00s. It was more often the case that there was some C library I wanted to interface back then.

It’s still useful in performance situations (high iteration counts, library writing, etc). But I find myself doing it much less often now.

You could just make a temp2 branch, from master at the same branching point as temp1, and then periodically create your astonishingly beautiful commits from the horridly messy temp1, to temp2. And then merge temp2 to master, when you want.

The only "sin" fossil commits here is that temp1 is still there, if you want to see what you ACTUALLY did (yes, I fully accept that your beautifully crafted commits are totally bug-free).

And here's the real kicker: the fossil ui is easily customizable so that certain branches (eg: "tmp-...") can be hidden from the timeline view, so they don't get in the way.

I believe the sqlite team (inc DRH) have hundreds of "tmp" branches, whose only purpose is "messy commits, clean up later" (yup, you can refuse the same branch name as many times as you like, easier for auto-hiding.

A big part of the psychology of home buyers is about resale potential or value. This is why, for example, single people care about school districts, people buy more bedrooms than they need, etc.

So to resell an assumed mortgage, you have to find a buyer that can pay the entire unmortgaged principle (i.e. down payment + already paid principle) plus any increase in value. If that buyer is another home owner with a low rate mortgage, they may have to find another buyer like themselves to assume their current mortgage.

The assumption itself likely requires the new buyer to be as qualified as the current owner as well.

So this is maybe attractive right now, where there are many of these low rate mortgages with high loan to value ratios, but it will get progressively worse. Add that on top of the friction and reduced addressable buyer market, and my intuition is that this is probably a wash at best.
If energy usage is a goal post and people work to successfully resolve that issue (on a live production system, with zero downtime), then that seems like a positive outcome as well as a massive engineering feat that should be applauded.

Yes. In 15-20 years.

The most immediate need (utility) for green hydrogen is replacing fossil fuels in the production of methane and ammonia. This must be done asap.

Once that hydrogen production and transport infra is in place, it'll be relatively easier to pivot to using H2 as a fuel.

Let me ask this question: Do you want the operating system to load the URL every time you simply copy and paste a URL? If not, then how is this case any different?

There's some discussion of use cases in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38031177 However, in general, I consider the term "legitimate" to be user-hostile. Who decides which use cases are legitimate or not? We shouldn't need to prove that our usage is "legitimate", by your standard.
