Don't know why I'm being downvoted, there was an accident recently near where I live where a motorist hit a pedestrian in a roadway. He stopped his car and pulled into the opposite lane and turned on his flashers to prevent traffic from running over the guy who was lying in the road. An autonomous vehicle stopped, seeing the car in its lane, but a driver behind it pulled out and passed the vehicle unaware of the pedestrian, running over the injured guy who subsequently died from his injuries.

I definitely see how it might seem like it would come across this way, but this was all within the context of a manager who went out of his way to establish himself with his team as someone who did _not_ consider him a technical expert compared to the engineers on the team (to the point where I think he honestly didn't recognize the full extent of his skills). It wasn't uncommon for him to tell people that the reason he switched from being an engineer to a manager was that he didn't think he was good enough at the engineering side of things to be successful at it. He viewed his job as doing whatever he could to make the people working for him successful, and that included setting the expectations that ideas should be judged on their own merits and not based on who they came from. This is obviously not something that just can happen because someone says it should, and I'm not really sure there's any amount of evidence I can offer to be convincing enough that he did try to maintain an environment of trust and lack of judgment, but I can at least say that I genuinely felt like that was the case, and that I only ever experienced and saw encouragement for us to consider any technical question, doubt, or feedback from one member of the team to another in good faith, regardless of the relative tenure or title of the people involved.
I’ve stopped playing multiplayer games with strangers. I play tabletop RPGs (online, on a virtual tabletop) on Tuesday nights for 3-4 hours with some friends, and it’s an absolute blast.

Even though the stories we tell are goofy and not worthy of a pulp fiction novel, it feels like actual play and engages a part of my mind that’s seldom used anymore. It’s not often a video game can capture a fraction of the fun we have paving our own crazy story. Baldur’s Gate 3 is the closest I’ve seen in awhile.
I reached a similar conclusion with my own blog[0] and run a small rust process that parses access logs.

However, I could only find a need to know which posts are popular and which give 404 errors, nothing else. I'd argue that for big chunk of personal blogs, collecting general geographic and/or traffic sources isn't actually useful nor justified.

Yes. This.

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl) was pretty apocalyptic, and caused by a combination of drought and bad farming practices. It's clear things can go badly. On the other hand, we've adapted and learned since then. I'm enthusiastic about the potential for AI and robotics to make farming more humane and less environmentally destructive while still keeping yields high (e.g. no till, with targeted use of pesticides and fertilizers).

I don't think this is super surprising since the same thing happened with Broadcom's other acquisitions, but I would venture that a fair number of SMB resellers are going to end up having to tell their customers to buy from another partner or direct from VMware.

> I look forward to giving Final Fantasy VIII a try; although it’s widely regarded as one of the black sheep of the Final Fantasy family

FF8 is actually so bad as to possibly turn this person off the series entirely IMO. Bad characters. Questionable, easily exploitable battle mechanics. Terrible, nonsense story with some of the dumbest “reveals” of virtually any game ever. It’s a kinda of neat setting and world, but just used so so so poorly.

For anyone that has played them but wants to, I still recommend 10 with a mod to give everyone experience every battle (spoiler, 10 still had the “haha gotcha for not levelling everyone equally” annoyance that was popular in JRPGs of old).
You can just use the logs of your webserver for that...
IMO there are two main reasons nowadays to check codegear's IDEs: you either have some huge Delphi codebase that you can't move anywhere else or you want C++ support with a full RAD IDE (i do not think there is anything as RAD-y as C++ Builder). QtCreator is a workable alternative though.

Well, there is a third reason, you want to have some company to blame (and ask help from) when things break :-P
The Zen 4 memory controller only sometimes is binned high enough to be stable at 6400. It's likely that linux just loads the memory better out of the box. I had to dial back my 7800 X3D to 6000 after rare but consistent crashes.

You can try OCCT to check if your memory overclock (even with Expo and especially with XMP, those are overclocks) is stable.

You probably have Hynix memory (check your 4 main timings and XMP/EXPO advertised speed) - if you do, these are very save timings you can do that'd probably make up for going down to 6000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlYxmRcdLVw

I use this with Rust, works great. Simply add a ~/.cargo/config.toml with

And it will work everywhere with cargo. I also like to combine it with the mold linker.
I think it’s important to note that the author specifies that they enjoy the sense of improving rather than just the act of playing.

Great article! I had deep, long-lasting obsessions with games growing up until I discovered programming. For me, it's not so much about the challenge anymore; it's about building stuff. Once I discovered programming, games felt like very small and limiting sandboxes. If I played a game for 10 hours a day, I would not be able to convince myself that it's okay for me and those around me. However, since programming is lucrative and comes with a pat in the back, I struggle to find a good work-life balance still to this day.

It is faster in RAM, on SSD, on HDD, for the same reason: the reads are done in blocks. Even if you want a single byte, the system (the controller) will read an entire block, typically on the order of 100k bytes. So if your B-tree node is all stored in one block, all reads from that node will be fast.

This is actually something I discovered when I had a mountain of dishes and it had me down for months.

One day, I thought, I don't even want all this crap, I would rather just have one of each essential "form" (large spoon, large fork, cup, plate, etc) and I certainly can't get them washed. So I grabbed a garbage bag and gently placed everything in (clearing the sink) and disposed of the weight.

Haven't had a problem since and I live much more peacefully and unburdened by all that.

Yes. That doesn’t preclude classifying how they are bad, both commonly and uniquely.
Sure, though the title doesn’t say ‘your personal blog’, so if it was meant for a subset of blogs, that’s another way it’s making assumptions and could have been more specific… but then it wouldn’t have people reacting to it! ;) Personally, I think my point is valid for personal blogs too. Writers who would like to grow their audience can benefit from seeing the analytics.

I don’t know what healthy writing habits are… I suspect my HN commenting habits aren’t super healthy. ;) It’s definitely possible to focus too much on analytics, my point is simply that saying “you” don’t need them at all is perhaps silly. They’re a useful tool, one of many.
Depends what you're doing.

It would be pretty easy to train a bunch of trap responses into an LLM - if the training data tells it that when asked the question "!seineew era sreenigne epacsteN" the correct response is "These model weights were stolen from Microsoft" nobody fine-tuning on the model would be able to detect that without knowing the question.

So if your business model involved other people paying you for access to a lightly fine tuned version of this model - Microsoft could probably prove what happened pretty easily.

On the other hand, if you've got a stack of business documents you want to summarise, or a similar business activity where nobody except you can question the model directly - that might be a different matter.

Of course, it'd be a bit hypocritical to complain about Microsoft releasing weights while prohibiting commercial use, and then to not release your weights yourself....

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Tiktok has made it clear many times over that while they pretend to be in the clear and un affiliated with the ccp they are a direct arm of the ccp that uses tiktok as an arm to influence global politics.

Why this stuff has not been banned as a national security threat is beyond me.

I’m not really a fan of the syntax in the article where you multiply the unit with the value.

I much prefer your user defined literal approach.

But is there any way to make it so you can introduce a new user defined literal for a new composed unit with reasonable syntax?
In the paper they use a ratio defined by comparing a hashtag's popularity on TikTok vs on Instagram. So it accounts for Instagram's biases since they're comparing to them. Not sure if that's what you're asking.

Honestly, I doubt it. I've seen the effects of stopping air travel with my own eyes. What if it really is the dominant driver, and all the CO2 fighting is for nothing? What if? And the reason we can't do anything about the water vapor is.... the economy and convenience. What if that's the case?
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/is-tiktok-banned-in-china/

China has a separate app like TikTok and TikTok is not allowed inside China. I don’t see where in the PDF they address demographics but could you explain how you think that factors into this analysis? The numbers indicate they’re global like other massive social networks.

Also, is the issue with Instagram political in nature like TikTok and China? At first glance it looks like the distribution is controlled based on their publicly available content guidelines. Doesn’t that make it inherently different than non-public content manipulation?
This was a nice and short essay.

I think that it can be hugely motivating to see your essays reaching people. However, as the author pointed out, it can also be demoralizing if the ratings are lower than expected.

With that in mind, I don't think we should stop traffic analysis. The issue seems to lie in our initial expectations. I plan to apply some analytics, but I don't necessarily anticipate high ratings.

Also the author probably isn't advising us to completely discard analytics. He actually provides us with a simplified method for it. I think what he tries to do is to suggesting that we should not obsess over it too much. I agree that if analytics demotivate us from writing, it might be best to completely remove it.
I was referring to the first game until I was referring to the remake. read it again?

I find the first game charming and evocative, while acknowledging there were some parts to expand upon, loose ends even, but the way they did that definitely jumped the shark.
IME, it seems to be sort of a pathological thing and not just burnout? When you burn out, you still know everything you've learned, but some people just are not self aware, do not care about it, and do not want to know how things work or why. The sort of people who will throw a fit if a software update moves a button, because they semingly don't have the knowledge or intuition to spend 10 seconds finding where it went. This baffles me, because I know plenty of neurotypical people who can do this, so it's not like it's a neurodivergence thing, it's just that some people seemingly are not curious about the world and do not even understand how to seek knowledge.

Maybe this is an education issue? Back when I was in school, they never taught me how to learn, they just wanted me
to memorize things and then repeat them back. I don't know how that would explain the difference though, since plenty of neurotypicals are served "well enough" by school. Comparing my own experiences is sort of a slippery slope since I'm neurodivergent myself.
> Turnover leads to teams with no connection to previous games in the series

It's even weirder and more fascinating than that. Turnover eventually leads to teams made of people who were fans of the original series, and the risk there is that their own interpretation of the series can become a navel-gazing love letter to the superficial stuff that floats on top of their memories (e.g. references, callbacks, tie-ins, inside jokes, and memes) while neglecting the underlying qualities that made them fall in love with the series in the first place.

I don't care for the occasional cinematic quick time event combat in FF16 either but once you get the abilities maxed out the normal combat is actually amazing, particularly in Final Fantasy mode. I feel like the game should have been in Final Fantasy mode from the start.

>In general, build cache objects are usually addressed by a content-addressable-hash

How does that work? I would think the simplest case of a build object that needs to be cached is a .o file created from a .c file. The compiler sees the .c file and can determine its hash, but how can the compiler determine the hash of the .o file to know what to look up in the cache? I think the compiler would need to perform the lookup using the hash of the .c file, which isn't a hash of the data in the cache.
Reminds me of a poem:

The law locks up the man or woman

Who steals the goose off the common

But leaves the greater villain loose

Who steals the common from the goose.

The law demands that we atone

When we take things we do not own

But leaves the lords and ladies fine

Who takes things that are yours and mine.

The poor and wretched don’t escape

If they conspire the law to break;

This must be so but they endure

Those who conspire to make the law.

The law locks up the man or woman

Who steals the goose from off the common

And geese will still a common lack

Till they go and steal it back.
That's why Germany is building a lot of new gas power plants. They're cheap to build and can be turned of and off really quickly, so it's okay if they're only really needed for a few weeks a year. The new power plants are also planned to be able to handle hydrogen which can be produced with electrolysis (during an oversupply of renewables) and then stored underground.

As for the last point, it comes to mind because of electronics/mechanics engineering where the teachers always tell you to look if the numbers make sense in the context or that you should know the rough answer to a computation before hand, that is folklore that can only happen in customary units.

The second sentence of the post says that it's about personal blogs.

You're right that "I don't need analytics on my personal blog" would be a strictly more descriptive title. But I don't write blog posts for titles, I write them for their content, expecting people to actually read the content and contextualize it as necessary. One reasonable form of contextualization would be a value judgment like "actually, I do care about reader numbers" and ignoring the rest of the post's prescriptions.
They don't like the encounter rates. It definitely got annoying at times, but the encounters and leveling up have been part and parcel for this genre of RPGs.

Personally I'm the delayed gratification type where I'll level up to a point where I steamroll all the bad guys in the main storyline. Even high encounter rate areas aren't bad when it's a one hit kill.
There was a very early MMO game which leaked its server files & people started doing custom servers.

There was a VERY limited scripting language for the server. This had some commands but missed basics like variables. However you could track the number of NPCs in a room.

So this led to some rather interesting new primitives:

- "Chickens in a room" became my preferred method of counting / implementing any kind of persistent global state.

- For timers I would spawn an enemy and a guard. When the guard killed the enemy the timer was up. (The number of NPCs dropped back to 1).

Combined these concepts to implement "dungeon instances": copied the map (as in literally copied the file) 10 times, used chickens-in-a-room to track which one players would enter, and whether you were entering the current instance or incrementing to the next was determined by the guard-kills-mob timer.
