I'd like to answer on the handling part. Handling it really depends on the game / community itself. I play Rainbow 6 Siege online, it's 10 people per match, in two teams. Most toxicity is easily avoided, because I only allow chat and voice from teammates (default setting), and if someone is toxic, it's very easy to block their chat, or voice. Killing teammates only succeeds once, then the TK-er's friendly fire will actually hurt the player itself, not the teammate, and this, if repeated, even propagates from match to match. This status is reflected with a red marker for everyone to see in a match. There's also a ticker on the top right where they sometimes show the names of a bunch of cheaters, griefers, or other toxic elements, after banning their accounts.

I wouldn't even restrict the toxicity conversation to gaming, or to online communities even. Whenever people interact, there can be toxicity. The main factor is usually the interaction setup itself. If that is handled well, the effects of toxic actors is manageably minimal. If the system lets them proliferate, they will. Gaming the system's toxicity management behavior is also a sport in itself. Communities can be even set up to explicitly allow the behavior, acknowledging the existence of this pursuit and making it plain to see that it will happen.
Event sourcing has a lot of nice properties, so I’m intrigued. But don’t you still need relations? And then how do you implement those?

If the answer is “they’re all implicit in the application layer code” then that’s not really acceptable. I still need some way to query for relations, or keep relation views up to date, or something like that.

I don’t mind if relations are not core to your persistence model, but they have to be implemented _somewhere_ in your data layer, and I’m not seeing any mention of that here.

I have the same issue with Firestore, everyone does relations _somehow_ but it’s all just spaghetti application code which isn’t scalable.
Ok, thank you, appreciate the "here be dragons"!
> insane that killing two people in a car accident is treated with a fine instead of ANY jail time

Which component of justice— retribution, incapacitation, deterrence, rehabilitation and reparation [1]—is served by jailing this person?

The only one I see is retribution. Given the families are pursuing damages, the reparation prerogative is better served with him out of jail (and not draining his assets fighting prison time).

I was in Paris this year and my nails were getting black just from the smog. My wife has long covid and even though she was moving around with wheelchair, we had to leave the city the 2nd day because she couldn’t breathe anymore and started to cough blood.

Of course she is very sensitive now, she can’t be even close to a person smoking or a bbq. But it’s also a good indicator of how bad is for your lungs to live in Paris ir any polluted city.
> It envisioned some kind of a collaborative web where readers were also publishers, but it didn't go into much detail. AFAIK this phase was never completed, and IMO this is a major reason why the web is so centralized today, why users have no control of their data, and why it's primarily aimed towards consumers.

> Had publishing content been as easy as consuming it was from the start, there would've been more tooling built around this concept ..

I have red book "How the Web was Born" by James Gillies, R. Cailliau, and the reason why the original vision didn't fly is bit more complicated.

https://books.google.com/books/about/How_the_Web_was_Born.ht...

The thing is that the editing/publishing part was in fact part of the fist prototype from the beginning (without any way to edit remote resources though)! But to make the system usable early for as many users as possible, this feature was not included in the dumb terminal or vt100 browser, or any other browsers which followed it.

Btw some time ago here on hn, I run into a person who was among the early users of the dumb terminal browser (aka line mode browser), but he didn't know much about the 1st prototype and it's editing feature.

And I would say that it would be very difficult to figure out how to make the original vision or browser/editor fly while at the same time trying to make the early web useful to early users and on top of that driving adoption as fast as possible. The CERN invested money into this proposal expecting some outcome, not a 10 years of vaporware (like some other hypermedia systems ended up, ehm). Moreover if Tim and Robert weren't able to focus on demonstrating that their proposal is practical (remember that while you find their vision familiar and understandable, it was not the case back then), it could have easily failed early on, and we could have ended up with a proprietary closed system(s) from the start.

Btw I wrote a blog post about this very topic some time ago, if you are interested in more details or would like to see additional references from this period, you can have a look:

TIL, but still: the lecturer changing their book preference at the last minute still seems different than "you have to use edition 15 of this book (which came out 3 months ago) which is exactly the same as all the previous editions, but the exercises are rearranged, so you'll get confused if you use an older edition", which - if I understand it correctly - is what seems to happen sometimes in the US.
which is a useful thing to do after abolishing the penny. not so much while they're still making more pennies.
> Governments can easily manipulate the supply (and therefore the true value) of currency behind the scenes without your knowledge

Can you provide an example? Central bank fucking with interest rates or doing QE is broadcast widely to the public. If one believes such moves will de-value the currency, there are ways to hedge against that - including the old standby: gold. And what does "true value" mean in this case? The value of anything is what someone is willing to trade for it. There's no "true value" the government can set that won't show up in the market somewhere.
You could also have extra space allocated for where extra data should go. By aggressively rebalancing you should only need to do a full reallocation when the tree is actually getting pretty full.

That's because quality projects are being suppressed. Governments have been working hard to destroy crypto's reputation by enabling scams. When I worked in crypto, the projects that were receiving EU government funding were usually scams or had a scam aspect to them. The agencies which were supposed to regulate the industry often turned a blind eye to obvious misconduct and suppressed small projects. Why did FTX get away with it for so long? You think the government had no idea? Even I suspected something fishy and I didn't even try to look.

In any case, individuals should be allowed to choose their monetary system and not be coerced into a specific scam which is what the fiat system is. If people could choose who their scammer is, that is already progress from what we have now.

Job losses will be/are: far less people for scanning and processing paper documents, a bit less about ticket checks/receptionist, a bit less translators, ... MOST of job losses will NOT be from "AI" but from mere rationalization in the digital-bureaucratic world. Signed XML/JSON for inter-banks communications, billing etc start to be widespread enough, many paperwork start disappear and so on. This is natural managerial evolution not even tech evolution per se and have nothing to do with "AI".

Oh, you know, a billion here, a billion there, who counts anymore, right? (The other posters already aswered this one, seems like two top of the line machines?)

Anyways... the numbers being invested at the top of this game are completely nuts. The future like in Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't seem that crazy! It begins with Metaverses, Neuralinks, LLMs, hundreds of billions of spending in the hardware/silicon business (boosted by AI demand) and ends in, well play Cyberpunk.

We (Breadwinner) offer a live sync of NetSuite ERP data into Salesforce using prebuilt objects (and can handle custom objects). It's called "Breadwinner for NetSuite".

We also have a NetSuite to Postgres sync that's currently in Alpha.

For those of you considering an integration to NetSuite, keep in mind that NetSuite has both SOAP and REST connections, but (as of today) neither works with every single object. So anything you build will likely have to leverage both APIs. Pagination can also take 30-60 seconds per page retrieval, so that's an added complication for large data sets.

(Yes, you could possibly leverage NetSuite Restlets, but then you have custom code on each and every customer, hence we avoid that).

If anyone wants help on building an integration with NetSuite, happy to see if I can help. My email is in my about.

> but being a culture that tends to tear-down fences has the second-order effect of being more adaptable.

By killing many. In biology, species with higher rates of genetic diversity in their offspring sacrifice most of there offspring. E.g. trees fall into that category. Their seeds have more genetic diversity, when compared to children of mammals. But a single tree can produce tens of thousands of seeds in one year. And the environment conditions can change drastically every few meters for those seeds. Therefore, it is a successful strategy. But most seeds never grow into mature trees. Do we want to model human cultures on that strategy?

When I read that I thought about the ability to replicate someone’s voice using AI. How would you know it’s me on the other end reading you my key over the phone? Then again, you would need a substantial amount of audio from me to accurately train a model of my voice.
>...while energy consumption has been growing enormously over the last 10 years.

Unless I am grossly misreading this chart[0], it looks like US energy consumption has been flat since 2000 at ~100 quadrillion BTUs. Which would align with my expectations: more devices tout energy efficiency, switching to LEDs, and just how much entertainment is driven by portable electronics.

Check out Ben Eater at eater.net, he has 2 kits, one where you build an 8-bit CPU, and another where you build a custom computer using a 6502 CPU, all on breadboards (no soldering). The newest third kit is a very primitive VGA card. His Youtube videos are a great resource and really help you understand without just painting by numbers.

Why not start with some lowkey Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico projects?

I found the cost (five years ago) was what put me off, but it only took me a few hours to get up and running with a very simple led flashing project.

Then life got in the way, but simple temperature sensors, light sensors, etc. can make for some interesting quality-of-life projects.

Edit: For additional
context, it was a self-driven project (no instructions). Incredibly easy to get into.

Getting a simpler CUDA program running took me longer; and I gave up altogether on OpenCL after spending a frustrating 12 hours.

People have gotten taller in the last few centuries, but pre-agriculture humans were pretty tall. Early agricultural societies could feed more people, but often with worse nutrition.
I’ve done the same thing. I’ll eventually buy the cards, but I don’t want to buy cards, playtest the deck, and then find out that I want to replace this slightly expensive card with this other slightly expensive card. My friends are ok with playing against a proxied deck, in part because I keep the overall price of the deck reasonable (since eventually I’ll probably buy the cards if the deck isn’t an absolute dog).

I made my proxies with some card-stock with a grammage of 300 g/m^2 which is roughly what MTG cards have (had to grab a big pack from a craft store, but that’s ok since I’ll find a use for the rest). I have a guillotine paper cutter, which made things a LOT easier than when I did this in college, and I also had a little corner-rounder-punch thing that made the final product look way better than expected. I have an inkjet printer, so they didn’t look perfect or anything, but they still looked a lot better than expected! And when they were in sleeves the “feel” was pretty close too!

> It's very clear that the whole decentralization tech angle failed a long time ago. I had a passing interest, but completely lost it around 2017-ish, when BTC blocks started filling up.

Decentralization was the original tech angle. Email, HTTP, the basic Internet infrastructure is all decentralized with only the minimal necessary coordination. Decentralized money is iffy when it isn't a real thing with intrinsic value like a metal coin or trading commodities directly.

Everything else though can absolutely be decentralized, somebody just needs to be happy about writing open standards and giving people the means to have systems that use them.
I guess the most important feature from my perspective is a physical keyboard. My most common "support request" is that the person wants to use the phone dialing app and can't figure out how to return to it or launch it. So I want a dumb phone or UI, where the dial pad is always there and always works. The only other feature I want is a clock, that should also always be on screen, that shows the time and date.

Everything else, such as camera, messaging, calendar, contacts (except maybe a few predefined contact buttons that are always there), etc., should all be absent or inaccessible. And, I have gotten the person a digital wristwatch for xmas, so that might relieve the clock requirement.
what about the capitalist revolutions where they started murderous authoritarian “helicopter rides” and burning people alive inside oil barrels and stuff, or generally just starving or mistreating the populace? funny how that always gets left out of the example, some of these killings likely range into the millions, many backed by US taxpayers.

“helicopter rides for leftists” is very much a meme for a reason, after all. And many of those that receive such rides or are burned alive in oil barrel are not, in fact, insurgents, they’re just ordinary citizens who might have spoken out against the regime etc.

yes, “tu quoque”, but these things do happen after many social upheavals, the framing of capitalism as being a bulwark against authoritarian repression is fundamentally misplaced. Many of those capitalist upheavals do go on to oppress their populations too, whether acutely or chronically. The us has hundreds of thousands of people dying from lack of access to health care and general poverty-related deaths every year, our own ongoing holodomor.

Violence after a political upheaval is, in fact, rather orthogonal to what system it is rebelling against or who is in control afterwards. Like it’s not tu quoque, it’s just an irrelevant red herring. Plenty of people get murdered by authoritarian capitalist regimes after upheaval too. Because it’s social/political upheaval.

They don't want to get rid of the penny because they know someone will try to pull a similar stunt. At this point it's a proven strategy to get free press and social media attention.
> Realistically, even with Turbo+LCM, you're still going to 4+ steps (often 8+), with CFG, for reasonable one-generation quality anywhere close to the images people generated at 50+ steps without Turbo/LCM.

For sure the only reason I considered comparing it that way was because the linked repo appears to also be going for a similar approach with 1 step/image on the pi.

From my own experience I've had a hard ever getting a decent image below 6~8steps, but this repo seems more focused on getting it to run in a reasonable amount of time at all, which understandably requires the minimal "maybe passable" settings.

We’re all meat suits reciting past experience

The whole point of education was propagate useful information into the future economically, and us egoist meat suits seem to mean it makes the individual essential.

Now we have machines to store the data for us; individuals as hard drives is less important.

The only reason we believe what we do is past people told us to believe it. There’s no physical obligation to propagate social memes and norms.

Get over it. The world would be better off if a bunch of helicopter operators stop fighting over everything as if their high minded education isn’t more than some social recipes memorized to teach others.

Go do something creative for yourself rather than babysit BS of the dying in a physical reality that doesn’t care you exist.
I think the Chesterton's fence parable falls short of pointing out the logical conclusion. The fence should have a plaque on it explaining exactly why it was erected and giving the reader enough information to decide if it's still necessary.

And when we build new things, we should also leave a trail of explanations for our decisions.
If you do a writeup on the prefetch queue and want some original code for tampering with it, let me know. I did some deep experimentation with it in the 90's, and still have the code archived.

The prefetch queue could be (ab)used in some very interesting and sometimes baffling ways. One of the creations causes a divide by zero if you try to debug it, even if viewing the code doesn't look like it should.

Also, I did some experimenting with shrinking code by replacing INT3h with INT21h (one byte, versus two), which similarly lent itself to anti-debugger effects.
