i cant believe this sort of stuff is acceptable. what a clown industry
Very true, but I’ve still been interrupted a few times, and it’s always been positive. Makes me not want to wear earbuds, except that it can be really nice to listen to a podcast on the commute home.

Once on a train, two women come up to me as they’re getting in, and start talking (so I take out the earbuds). Turns out they just needed directions and were here for vacation, with no phone service. I saw that they needed to take my stop, so I offered to help and had a nice conversation for 15 minutes with their broken English. They were super friendly and excited to be traveling through my city, and it really made my day to be able to help them and learn about their travel!

I wish I had moments like that all the time with strangers.
Really curious how they are going to enforce this at scale.
Anything in tech would pay significantly better with the same skills. Graphics engineers are in high demand at many major tech companies like Meta, Apple, Google.

But film/games will still pay well. Just not as well.

As for needing a role, well it depends. Tech art is a very wide role with very little definition. But also those skills apply to engineering instead of tech art as well.

Engineers don’t need reels. Tech artists would if they’re more on the art side (shaders, characters) but less so on the tools side.
> Yes, decriminalization is failing to provide treatment. Of course it is! That wasn't its intended purpose in the first place. The purpose was to stop punishing victims with incarceration and felony conviction.

I think that's the bit you are missing.
I played back during the glory days of 2000-2004 and through the net-teller shutdown for America. Back then the money was absolutely absurd, because the game was very new online and very few people understood basics. This combined with the massive amount of marketing that was going on for television, tons of people were addicted to the thrill of the game.

Every single year the game became more difficult as more people studied and I continued to move up into higher and higher stakes. At one point I looked at how much money I had made/compared to how much I hated what I was doing and decided that I was done. People around me never understood why I quit because they knew me and the amount of income I had made, but the thing is no one can understand what it is to live on a grinders schedule like that.

I would get up at 10-11AM study the hands from the previous day to make sure I was playing correctly mentally, read over new material, review a partners hands as we both did each others to confirm playstyle and decisions were correct, around 3PM I would start scouting tables across various levels looking for soft players that I had datamined information about. Around 4-5PM I would start playing and continue to add tables with soft players and immediately leave any tables that didn't contain any soft players or they had busted. This table hopping and monitoring is absolutely exhausting, but critical to being as profitable as possible.

Repeat this until about 11PM. Then go to sleep until 4AM, get up and play against the players on the other side of the world as they were starting to play loose. Play against them until about 7AM, then go to sleep and get up around 11. Repeat. Do this for 4 years and almost anyone will decide enough is enough even with the amount of income I was making back then. The only rest I took was on weekends, just to remove myself mentally from the exhaustion.

Of course poker is much tougher now then it was then. I wouldn't even dream of trying to play now. I was maybe upper 85-90% player, now I would be in the lower 50%.

Python's type hints are just that, hints. They aren't static type annotations. Cython uses gradual typing, but the mainstream Python implementation does not actually offer gradual typing. It's still dynamically typed, but with an annotation mechanism that lets other tools do some analysis for you.
> Interesting that the pipeline is the fastest! I would expect the sheer number of separate processes to slow things down considerably, but apparently it doesn't really matter. Probably because the first `grep` already filters out most of the dictionary, so there isn't a lot of I/O through the pipes.

The IO doesn’t matter so much because they’re done in parallel. Whereas the other examples have to filter each word throw the entirety of their steps before they can proceed onto the next word.
hah! noticed this because I was testing some logic and a timestamp popped up at exactly 1.7 billion and some decimal.

I doubt almost any of them would be rigged. Especially with the rake, having a fully fair online poker game still makes bank on almost no risk without any rigging at all. There's not really any reason for them to be rigged.

I played a little for fun on some Bitcoin poker sites about a decade ago, and the sites I used were verifiably fair and gave you the game's seed when you were finished. I don't think I'd ever play for real money on a site that I couldn't verify to be fair. You don't want true external source of randomization for anything other than the seed, otherwise you couldn't verify the game.

A rational fear would be more about a site using a predictable RNG, or somebody being able to exfiltrate or deduce the seed of a running game, or players colluding with each other or an employee. Nowadays, an AI assistant (or full-fledged poker bots) probably largely makes playing online poker a crapshoot anyway.

There's not really any point in a poker site itself rigging a game when the house always wins anyway.
Dad has a 1966 Oldsmobile with air conditioning. In the last 57 years General Motors has never found a need to update the switch. It still works flawlessly.

It’s stupid that we invented a way to not only remotely break an on/off switch but also a culture that rolls the dice on that until the inevitable happens.
It's also for self-reporting? That means the worst won't bother to indicate that they're generated.
>Deny and list have both been words for more than 1500 years.

Neat, but denylist isn't a word. Thank you for proving my point.

>Unless someone is trying to be particularly daft, it’s pretty straightforward to put them together and grok a mean.

Except it's not, especially for those who are not as privileged and learn English as a second language. "Broad" and "way" are two words that when put together mean something very different. QED.

>Much better than blacklist.

Not at all, since it's not a word.

>If you didn’t have a dictionary, you would never know.

Thank God the word predates computers and we all know what it means.

This brings back memories of all of the Y2K doomsayers about airplanes falling out of the sky, gas pumps not working, and all of the other just wildly bonkers theories people came up with. Even without the help of social media, these notions spread like wildfire.

Just show them the Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

This was ratified by the Senate and signed by the President.
Making progress on weather forecasting is amazing, and it's been interesting to see the big tech companies get into this space.

Apple moved from using The Weather Channel to their own forecasting a year ago [1].

Using AI to produce better weather forecasts is exactly the kind of thing that is right up Google's alley -- I'm very happy to see this, and can't wait for this to get built into our weather apps.

A sibling addresses the nuance expressed in “for new languages”. But even if the original author’s opinion was that gradual typing is always bad, why does that mean we should dismiss the Elixir team’s efforts?

I have opinions about Elixir, mostly around aesthetics (for context, I started programming in Python, not Ruby), but that doesn’t mean my opinions are objectively more valid than those of a genius like José Valim.

I’ve actually found Elixir to be very well-designed and internally consistent, and after two years using it, it’s obvious to me that José and team are very thoughtful and deliberative. I don’t think they want to introduce gradual typing because it’s trendy.
In my experience poor people are way friendlier than rich people and more likely to strike up a conversation. It is in fact the well-off who have the privilege of not getting along with their fellow humans—they can just pay them to do stuff instead of trading favors and building community.
Well, it's a lot of work to prove to someone who doesn't do this sort of thing that they have this sort of problem. And it's a lot less work to say that there is this sort of problem. So he sounds right to me.

All nostalgia is a longing for youth.
I always found plenty of interesting websites without needing to use webrings, often from sites with a list of "other sites about [whatever this site is about]" or just "other cool websites". Such personally curated lists were far more useful to me. They were less random, they could show the title, they could even put notes about the sites, I could skip over ones that I already knew about or didn't seem relevant, and they were overall less random. Also, a huge plus for implementation side of it was that it didn't rely on anyone else except you.

Are there any advantages to having webrings instead of just lists of "other cool sites"?

edit to add: Now that I'm thinking of it, a webring is a ring (duh), but the "other cool sites" concept is a decentralized network. That to me is a huge benefit. Makes it far more robust.
I assume they're just trying to keep you on their domain for commercial reasons.

This is the essay that first got me into Russell.

For a more positive summary of what Russell DOES believe, I love “A Free Man’s Worship”

http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/russell1.htm

While it doesn’t quit hold me fully like it did when I was younger, I still find it beautiful:

> United with his fellow-men by the strongest of all ties, the tie of a common doom, the free man finds that a new vision is with him always, shedding over every daily task the light of love. The life of Man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long. One by one, as they march, our comrades vanish from our sight, seized by the silent orders of omnipotent Death. Very brief is the time in which we can help them, in which their happiness or misery is decided. Be it ours to shed sunshine on their path, to lighten their sorrows by the balm of sympathy, to give them the pure joy of a never-tiring affection, to strengthen failing courage, to instil faith in hours of despair. Let us not weigh in grudging scales their merits and demerits, but let us think only of their need -- of the sorrows, the difficulties, perhaps the blindnesses, that make the misery of their lives; let us remember that they are fellow-sufferers in the same darkness, actors in the same tragedy as ourselves. And so, when their day is over, when their good and their evil have become eternal by the immortality of the past, be it ours to feel that, where they suffered, where they failed, no deed of ours was the cause; but wherever a spark of the divine fire kindled in their hearts, we were ready with encouragement, with sympathy, with brave words in which high courage glowed.

My grandfather, who I never met due to certain family rifts, converted to Islam as an adult and wrote a book called "Answers from an Atheist" or similar, I forget the exact title now. In it he documents a discussion between an imam and an atheist. I found it fascinating reading when I was a young teenager, but started to find the discussion from both sides ridiculous after a while. By the time I finished it, I was pretty well convinced that he'd made the whole thing up as a way to have an atheist pitch softballs at an imam so he could give easy answers without having to actually defend his beliefs. But it started me down a years long reading adventure of different religious views and arguments, including Russell's essay mentioned here.

This is clearly measured by the share of wealth that is generated and returned to workers vs. Capital owners. There’s no need to get philosophical about it as this is all been pretty well documented. Things have become more unequal, as I described.

> If you accept that all nations are constantly under pressure from external threats, the fact that the USSR was too is not an explanation for the authoritarianism that arose there.

I do accept this and note that it is a common pattern across countries, relative to their development. The US became much more authoritarian post 9/11, suspended many forms of rights and freedoms, disregarded its own and international laws. But because it was a more stable political formation, did not devolve into full authoritarianism. Still, within 19 years, it faced an insurrection attempt by an authoritarian leader. The USSR was, by contrast, about a decade old, newly emerged from a civil war, and had very little in the way of solid state infrastructure. It’s thus unsurprising that they devolved into authoritarianism.
What are freedom fries? I’ve never heard of it so I assume no one picked it up. Pretty much every software company has changed master though.
Sure it does. There are many people who have claimed to be God. In nearly every case they are deemed as crazy. There was even the famous case where three different men, each sincerely believing they were the return of Christ, were put together by a psychologist who had a hunch that it might snap them out of their delusions. It didn't.

I used to play PLO (pot limit omaha) full time and made very low 6 figures over 2 years. I quit in 2015 and went back to school for a CS degree, doing much better now financially, and the work is actually usually more interesting than poker, but that might be due to me burning out back then.

I think you 'success' measurement is wrong.

I have friends who are large Youtubers/social media people, and others in that circle very upset when they only hit 10-20k views on their videos. Ten to twenty thousand. That's a failure to them. The bigger ones feel 400k is a failure for them.

Using externalised metrics to measure success is a road to disaster. Just have fun, and measure success on writing and posting something you're proud of. People will eventually find it, but that should never be the goal.

> Because of - when you think about it, kinda obvious - timing issues that can mean at 25fps you have 40ms latency/slippage frame to frame, the data suggested the ball was kicked in one game, by Yaya Toure into the back of the opposing team's net at just over 1000m/s - a little over Mach 3.

This error seems too big to have come from the inherent latency of 25 fps.

1000 m/s over the shortest period, a single frame, would be 40 metres in 0.04 seconds. If there was one frame's worth of error on each end, then the lowest speed the real value could be was 40 metres in 0.12 seconds which is still a completely impossible 330 metres per second.

Am I missing something? 25 fps seems like enough to capture the ball location to within a metre for all but the hardest shots.
Yes, god forbid someone is actually informed.

I've never understood, maybe someone can explain it to me, why there's any concern about US treasuries?

A bond holder has loaned them $1000 USD, and they literally have the ability to print USD money. How could the bond holder not get their USD? Of course a loss of purchasing power may occur with printing, but it seems there should be a 0% risk of non-payment?
Because there are tons of parts of weather where chaos isn't the limiting factor currently.

There are a limited number of weather stations producing measurements, and a limited "cell size" for being able to calculate forecasts quickly enough, and geographical factors that aren't perfectly accounted for in models.

AI is able to help substantially with all of these -- from interpolation to computational complexity to geography effects.
Personally, I really like the solution that Go has come up with. Go does have the huge downside that its system needs some centralized servers (and possibly worse depending on how you look at it, defaults to Google's for them), but it has the huge upside that it avoids any particular single point of failure. If you are using a module proxy (like the default,) you can still fetch dependencies from GitHub packages when GitHub is down since it can grab through the module proxy. But if the module proxy is down, it can just fetch the package from GitHub instead. It's also possible to add multiple proxies to the GOPROXY variable, if you wanted extra redundancy.

But what makes this design especially nice, in my opinion, is that it means that you can host Go modules anywhere, so as long as you follow some conventions. And because of the GOPROXY mechanism, even if your site is a little unreliable, it shouldn't generally be much of an issue. The sumdb and lockfiles additionally helps ensure that the integrity of existing published versions of packages can't be compromised even if e.g. somebody acquires the domain later on.

I'm not saying this is perfect, but it's a really nice blend of properties. If you're going to have to have a centralized entity that provides package services, making it work like this prevents a hard-dependency on a centralized party to handle package management while reducing some of the security and reliability concerns of self-hosting package repositories. Admittedly, this would lose some of its luster if a lot of packages became unavailable because the GOPROXY stopped caching them and they were long removed from the Internet; but OTOH, things eventually disappearing is always going to be a concern on the Internet, as the act of keeping things online is an active effort that requires time and money. As of today, I think this remains a sensible compromise.

This doesn't solve curation at all, but that's kind of the thing; if programming language package management is the wrong place to gate insecure or potentially even malicious packages packages, then they may as well not colocate packages to specific central locations, either.
