I seem to remember I didn’t think it was radical enough but a good start.
SponsorBlock has a lot of configurability: segments can be marked as various different things, so it's not all-or-nothing. You can set it to skip certain types of segments, and show other types. As for where things start and stop, it's crowdsourced, so you're relying on some volunteer to get those time points correct. I think it's possible to upload your own corrections, but I haven't played around with it much.
It's not rhetorical. Alcohol is empirically more harmful than all of the other drugs mentioned (in large part because of how said enzymes process it). How long it's been around has nothing to do with it.

Alas, banks can not opt out of that system. And because they are forced to participate, I don't think their argument is nullified.

Burning fuel to generate electricity creates waste heat that siphons off most of the energy. By the time electricity reaches your outlet, around two-thirds of the original energy has been lost in the process: https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/10/energy-loss-is-si...

With Solar and Wind, there isn't any wasted heat.
There sort of are some ejection disposals, but they are rarely used due to how specific the orbital parameters need to be in order for that to be the “cheaper” option.

You usually find it’s not exactly the sort of disposals your expecting though. Several space probes have used launch trajectories where their final booster stage will be placed into a heliocentric orbit, with the general trajectory placing it on an uncontrolled gravity assist and then the space probe will use a very small amount of fuel to precisely control the gravity assist it receives in order to get where it needs to be going… and the booster stage will have its already heliocentric orbit further changed by the gravity assist.

It’s all about the deltaV … it takes way less to deorbit LEO and even some of the MEO satellites than to perform a lunar orbit raising, and GEO would be too costly to do either when which is why the GEO graveyard orbit belt is quite well defined… as for boosting the ISS up towards the moon to perform a Salyut 7 style long duration equipment survival experiment…. That’s a lot of fuel, and we already have that experience since we’ve been monitoring the entire ISS since we launched it…
My genius friend in college could naturally focus so intensely that he didn't realise that there was electric short circuit near his desk.
What's the additional value beyond what you'd get with a standard checking account? As GP said, this is like pseudo-private banking. [1]

“we don’t know whether space and time are properties of the outside world, but they sure are part of our mind.”

In the Kantian paradigm (and this is taken from Descartes), space is external and time is internal. You can feel time without an external perception, and space can exist outside even if you’re not there.

This is always a non-starter if people have psycho-social or political motivation for their position. Though regardless, it's also a low bar. A healthy society should ideally consist of people who are capable of feeling sympathy for people who have feelings in response to things which the observer does not share.
I love projects like these, reminds me of the magic within the machine, as opposed to the normal cacophony of the world that comes via the machine.
You are right and I am speaking as someone who has worked on these systems. It's hard to convey to people, as these systems scale up, the bugs scale up too. And the resources to handle them shrink. Even if the false positives are less than 1% tens of thousands of people can get effected. And things are swept under the carpet, cause the costs to corporations are rounding errors.
Banned from Interac? They won't let them get a debit card again through any bank/credit union? Or won't let them ever send email money transfers? Won't let them ever receive email money transfers?

(Interac is the Canadian debit card system, owned by a network of banks, which has also branched out into person-to-person money transfers between bank accounts because we don't have Venmo/Zelle/etc here).
This is a fantastic point that I think the IRS needs to consider. Have you thought about how this reality interfaces with the seemingly incoming new regulations? How could they be made more fair, in other words more reflective of this reality you identify?

Just some thoughts from a fellow graybeard (if I had a beard). Take em or leave em: Bitterness about somebody else who's worse off than you getting things you don't think they deserve, doesn't add to one's own happiness or wellbeing. Don't let those example people live rent-free in your head. They're barely eeking out an existence on some US State's laughable safety net. I seem to remember you're likely a computer professional and doing just fine.

If you're one of the few people in the world doing well enough to be paying into a system rather than relying on one, thank your lucky stars for how blessed you are. Ultimately, nobody on their deathbed contemplating their life cares about who their taxes were spent on.

If you simply must be mad at someone getting government handouts without need, there's a big list of companies who use accounting tricks to pay no taxes and even get subsidies from the government. You're probably better off being mad at them than some guy who's figured out how to go fishing while collecting unemployment.
"Worthless" is possible, but "not embarrassing" is probably as far-future as a post-scarcity society.
Comment feels like a great example of a bitcoin-maxi. An important data point, worth paying strong heed to, but also worth understanding the reasons behind bitcoin-maxi perspectives in order to see where you fit along the scale.

Bitcoin itself has the longest, most proven history. It's the safest house in the least safe neighbourhood. It's also the best performing asset of it's lifetime so far (something like that anyway).

It's use-case has changed since it was created, and there are additional use-cases to which other cryptocurrencies cater, smart contracts being the primary example (which then facilitate a whole other ecosystem of products, of arguable value and utility to humanity).

I'm around 50% bitcoin-maxi, to expose my illogical stance :)

I also have barely a little toe dipped into that particular asset pool, so my opinion isn't necessarily fully formed or well founded.
This is simply not correct.
City Skylines 2 even went through the trouble of using DOTs which is something you cannot take advantage of in Unreal Engine or Godot.
To get more optimal than that on the CPU utilization side, you will be writing your own engine in C++ or Rust.

The fuck up here is whoever was handling the art assets. You simply do not ship a game with such detailed graphics and no LODs. They must've simply been downloading things off the asset store and throwing them in without any regard for performance.
Nice project!

I'm not sure there is even a way to study the fact that other people have the same sense of time that we do - I think this would fall under qualia. We just assume it's roughly the same like I should see the blue you see.

Regardless it's clear from training our dogs that they feel impatience, which I think would be best described as a rising sense of discomfort over time. A younger dog and/or one with less training will get up more quickly by itself seeking a reward, while after more training they can put those thoughts aside and wait through it. After a tough day of training or sports, just like us they have less willpower remaining and are more likely to revert.

And right now it's 3:30 pm and he's letting me know the school kids have left the neighbourhood so it's time for his walk. I'd chalk this reaction up to other factors like the noise outside but it happens during the holidays too.
I can only imagine what they are going to gouge/segment next generation. Ada was kinda already set before the AI boom.
Listing the specific problem that led to a service denial could be helpful, but could be not. I bet that it's very rarely something like "You did <this one forbidden thing>, so we ban you according to the rule 3.6.4.2 of ToS". It could be something like: "The pattern of your activity is very similar to patterns of activity of 9823 known scam attacks". Or even more detailed: "8 out of 11 statistical models analyzing 982 parameters of your activity during last 48 days showed the probability of your account being used for illicit fund transfers above 0.92, and the remaining 3, above 0.57. In particular, our 100M-paremeter AI model (link to a PDF with technical details) has classified your activity thusly: (a 20-row table follows). According to the law, we use a publicly available model, widely accepted as a standard in the industry. You can inspect the model's weights at huggingface (link follows)".

Interpreting such results is a job. Disputing such results in a court, or with an arbiter, would be really hard, unless you're a practitioner of the pattern-recognition craft yourself.
Mine was discontinued and I can’t seem to find the bowl anywhere. At this point it has cost me something like a penny or less per use, so in terms of what I spent I’m not unhappy. I just wish I wasn’t using the same old decaying bowl, haha. It’s in bad shape.

Actually, like you mentioned maybe I should reach out directly and ask. I might get lucky.

My brother is dealing with a TBI, and in a nutshell, it’s exactly that.

The reason most of us glance at the clock is because we feel the passage of time and wonder what time it must be now.

He doesn’t always feel time passing, and he could go hours before it even occurs to him to look at his phone or a clock.

He relies on timers and reminders to keep things on track.
I completely agree with that! One requirement of effective taxation is having this granular, high-resolution inspectability of economic activity, but also keeping it abstract and general enough that it can be more efficiently be used a large number of diverse businesses.
I feel like that article skipped over the most interesting part, namely how they they actually implemented the object wrappers.
> The concept of "personal computer" I'm sorry to say for Americans was introduced in 1965 by Program 101

Hm, maybe an important milestone yes, but PC, no? I think the timeline goes like this:

1961 - Anita 7 - electronic desktop calculator, evolved from electro-mechanical, no stored program.

1965 - P101 - stored program, electronic desktop calculator. General purpose CPU, but the UI was completely calculator. The vision was still +-*/ only.

1968 - Mother of All Demos - this is where I argue the vision of a personal computer was fully formed

1971 - 4004 CPU - this is where you could start to actually buy parts to make a PC

1972 - Micral N - first commercially available microprocessor-based computer

1973 - Xerox Alto

you're missing the forest for the badly rendered tree in some E3 showcase that everyone nitpicked to death. Can we not treat this discussion like a Reddit rant, please?

Gamedev has many shortcuts, and some things simply fall through the cracks. Some are caught and fixed, some are caught and not fixed, some just aren't caught at all. I imagine it's the 2nd case here; There's a unfortunate large amount of bgs these days caught by QA but not given time to fix before publisher mandates.
The thing is, there can be bad reasons not to fall for fake news. Someone whose attitude is "I don't effin' believe a goddamned thing I read anywhere" doesn't fall for fake news. Unfortunately, they don't believe real news either.

True Scotsman's "doesn't fall for fake news" is more of a matter of intellect, than psychology.

It goes with personality to the extent that stupid is a personality.

This is very similar, it seems, to how software is modeled in the current IRS guidelines. The asset is not static, infinite-term one, but one that depreciates over time. The guidance points out that companies are expected to account for depreciation and can amortize their capital expenditure over 5 years. It's not a perfect model of every possible software org, but it seems in line with reality.

Thanks for your comprehensive comment! There's a lot for me to digest there, please allow me some time to read and comprehend it all! I may comment more later.
Goddam fuck that's depressing. Putting the BS into BSA.

No wonder shit doesn't work the way it should. Reporting on numbers and percentages rather than actual incidences with audit trails leading to shell companies and tax havens and opaque offshore ownership structures.

Because that takes time and effort that meaningless "numbers and percentages" don't require whatsoever.

I'm doing some 900Mhz ISM band SDR stuff. I'm mildly afraid, the polarfire toolchain is pretty wonky. F4PGA is wonky in a different way, but at least it's open and I know a few people using it. It would be cool if I could use F4PGA with PolarFire FPGAs.
I would say Minecraft is definitely a positive experience on a child, in moderation.
Anyone working there should keep themselves out of comment sections while they and/or their customers are embroiled in lawsuits, so I'd imagine you won't get a response from them.

Devil's advocate: if you believe high density living is important/required to reduce society's environmental footprint, someone needs to build it, and someone needs to operate it. Helping people who operate high density residential charge more for it, makes it more desirable to operate, and therefore increases demand for construction of high density living spaces. Thus, helping society move towards higher density living and saving the environment.
Happen more than you think, despite the absurd metaphor. Maybe there was an inferno in the neighbohood and no time to worry about the fire in the corner of the apartment. Maybe your publisher doesn't care if your house burns down but wants to make money now for their own earnings.

I don't think it's uncommon even outside of gaming for modern software to have these sort of "hidden fires". Games just get a lot more conversation and a lot of niche problems as a 3D real time application.
I think there is a lot of promising tech to help people out with this stuff. Just having your phone prompt you when you need to do stuff. I saw Google maps (perhaps recently) added a feature where you tell it the time you need to be somewhere and it will notify you when it's time to leave.

For grid scale, novel batteries, such as thermal and gravity, are just about to "cross the chasm" and jump onto the cost learning curve. In 15-20 years time, they'll be cheap and plentiful.

For residential, batteries are being added to appliances. Much cheaper (not panel upgrades) and much larger potential market size (apartments, condos) than "powerwall" style storage. These will follow the standard replacement rate of appliances, accelerated by incentives.

Sodium batteries are just starting to hit scale. Of course they'll replace lithium for stationary storage. I don't know enough to predict how big of a role they'll have in grid scale systems. Thermal batteries will be super competitive.

And of course, there's many more aspirants. Like flow batteries.
If the price were nearly the same, why would anyone choose to deal with criminals and expose themselves to some level of legal risk when they could get the same product (with a warranty) in a store?
In addition, Vegas is very close to landing the A's baseball team, taking it away from Oakland.

My mother and my grandmother, that's whom. Realistically, they believe whatever they want to believe in spite of any evidence or lack thereof. If they don't like what the news media says, then it's all a conspiracy of lies, nothing in the news is true. If they like what the news media says, then "they wouldn't be allowed to say it on TV if it weren't true". I have given up on them both.
It's only fitting that people are recreating with their technology the God they were fantasizing about for millenia. I just hope the'll be less keen on building virtual hell.
The chart in Section 3 "Mean transformed scores out of 10 were graphically depicted in Fig. 1 for each type of group."

I somewhat disagree with this take, as I felt the intro and "The microtask queue: a footgun" [1] section in the README does an adequate job of laying out the 'why' and the problems with JS's concurrency model. However, it does presume some understanding of Go's channels, so a more explicit example contrasting ts-chan with native JS concurrency could better clarify its benefits for those less familiar. Granted, there is an /example directory, but the benchmarking complexity muddles the readability. Regardless, upon a quick run-through, it looks to be an A-grade library that seems promising for practical use, plus well-referenced, composed, and quite thorough.

OK, so based on this document (which I had not come across until now) I would say that the IRS is fairly clear that what I termed "Way #2" is the correct interpretation.

Which is, as many have noted, absolutely batshit crazy.

The only scenario that remains unaffected by this absolutely batshit crazy SNAFU is the case of a self-employed software developer who incurs zero costs related to their work. They simply collect all revenue as salary, pay normal tax on it, and they are done.

Anyone with any expenditures at all (contractors, employees, equipment) must treat these as capital expenditures, amortized over 5 (or 15 years for foreign based work).

It really is as bad as it could possibly be.
In New Zealand the government added a bank (kiwibank) to the postal offices in 2001.

However the postal offices are now being closed.

Hey, this is a serious accusation. I would be very careful about raising false suspicions like this publicly. The application does not reuse IVs.

For your second point, I am aware of authenticated encryption and the possibility of bit-level tampering with commands. The point of the encryption is to make sure to preserve confidentiality here.

Tampering with commands is not really part of the threat model. The server needs to be trusted in some regard. If the server were compromised and actually modified commands, and it could send arbitrary network messages, then it could just change the HTML payload to the website and show the end user something different.

The point of the encryption is only to preserve confidentiality with a properly running server, so CTR mode was chosen.

I appreciate your dedication to security, but I would strongly advise you do more research before making comments like this — I take security very seriously as well, and making vague, unfounded accusations without actually reading the code only serves to confuse people.
Earlier, banks used to warn customers at least once for any disrespect towards employees. Now, expect big banks and financial institutions to close accounts without any warning, unless you are a wealthy client. Charles Schwab and Chase do that.
