This used to be the game I played during long nights at my previous startup when I had downtime.

Both good and bad memories.
Was just thinking this as I’ve been grinding Elden Ring.
One day, it might also be capable of creating games, similar to what’s shown in this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38754607
Getting hit from behind in all of these scenarios means the people behind did not maintain proper distancing between vehicles. Especially the 3 car pile up. That's why you're supposed to leave one car length for every 10mph you're going, so you have enough space to cancel out your momentum. What if instead of a branch it was a dog or a child?

And I've been to MANY places in the US where people drive terribly and completely unexpectedly. I've seen people put on a left turn signal then go into the RIGHT lane. I've seen someone pass on a one lane overpass, where the car in front was towing a heavy load

What's good about these cars is they will ALL drive consistently, and the more people get used to them the easier it well be to drive with them because you will know how waymo cars react.
Support for mobile devices is currently in development. The application is currently only available on Desktop, but the aim is to be available on all devices.
You are confusing installed capacity with power used. The consumed power is going down since the early 2000s, but since the generated power by most renewables depends on the weather and season, more reserve capacity needs to be installed.

Not sure if you’re joking or not. If not… I hope you can get some help eventually.
Yes, a private pilot's license (PPL glider) is required to fly gliders. OP probably meant that they were considering adding a rating for powered airplanes (PPL ASEL - airplane, single-engine, land).

Alternatively perhaps they mean that they took some lessons in a glider as a student pilot and considered going further and getting the license.

Yes, but no one is interested in talking about the author's feelings. The response is to the authors conclusions, which are wrong. Just as it's eminently appropriate for the author to be able to express themselves sujectively, it's equally so for us to call it bullshit.
C#/.NET in my opinion. Extremely extensive and high quality standard library and it keeps getting faster every release.

Though it's kind of a difficult question to answer, what do you need the standard library to actually do?
So sure, release a webpage that you'll only host for a few of years. But then also release a basic executable we can run for the next hundred years after instead of making something that needs Google's blessing and continued effort to exist.

Everything being a website isn't necessarily a good thing.
Is there a list of such countries, primarily English-speaking?

(serious question, as someone who left from one after it turned into an overpriced third-world dump and is now looking for a place to settle down)
I agree. It may be primarily about integrating the new construction process and a proof of concept for more ambitious projects, but my overall impression is definitely that this is a poor showcase for the technology: it feels sort of embarrassingly academic.
> Setting it up took hardly 5 minutes for me (for Rust)

You're underselling it, honestly. For those who haven't looked into it, if you want to enable it for all Rust projects on your system, literally all you need is install the binary and then add this to ~/.cargo/config, and then it will be enabled whenever you invoke `cargo` (or even rustc directly iirc) from the user who's config file you modified)

[build]
rustc-wrapper = "/path/to/sccache"

I'm sure there are people with legitimate reasons not to wanting it enabled implicitly or who have multiple users they might have to set this up for, but for 90% of people it won't take any more time than it took to read this comment.
Looks like it's circular as in "circular economics". But that's a pretty tenuous claim -- it also looks like there is no re-use, which seems like it should be an important part of the concept.

Presumably they're just latching onto the buzzword to get some grant funding or qualify for some project requirements or something?
I agree on the DFW point. It’s rare for a commencement speech to hit the nail on the head, it almost always lapses into this “do what you love” shtick that isn’t really relatable for kids who studied business to pay off their incredibly large student loans - at that point, you love not being in debt
But a pilot's license is generally required to fly gliders.

Stuff like winch-launched paragliders excluded.
I didn’t think this was a problem anymore. Checked the date of the article and it’s from 2017.

When I plug my iPhone into the car with USB, nothing plays automatically. Then I select ApplePlay and choose Spotify, Audible, etc.

Nothing automatically plays with Bluetooth either.

Is it older cars that are the problem that trigger the automatic playing from the default iTunes library?
FFVII was the first RPG I ever played. As an immigrant from a poor Balkan country, I never had access to computers and the only console I had ever played until 1997 was Atari 2600, which was a clone with built-in games (although it did have a slot for cartridges as well). I did buy an SNES after much convincing my father, against the advice of my friend. It was basically EOL at that point, but the price was right for our family's budget.

I borrowed the same friend's PS1 and had a blast with Resident Evil 2. Then he lent it again for FFVII.

When I started it,it seemed so stupid. Short, polygonal characters, lots of text and no context. Still, I kept on going. I discovered a whole new world of video games I hadn't encountered before. Began slowly immersing myself into it, and reading up on it at the middle school library's PCs. (486 running win 3.11 and slooow thrashing pagefile due to what was probably 4mb or less of RAM). Once I got started, there was no stopping me. I bought the official strategy guide, learned how much fun the materia system was, got emotionally involved when Aeris (Aerith) died, and spent more than 100 hours in that first game, and with some internet sleuthing, used the mega potions glitch to help me fight the mega bosses. At that point, the final boss was a cakewalk, with the most powerful summon a few times.

Lest one thinks it's nostalgia talking, I ended up playing it again twice more all the way to the end throughout the years.

The remake held my interest for a bit, but didnt like the new combat system, so lost interest . I'll try and pick it back up when the 2nd part, Afterbirth, is released.
If it can mimic plastic plants placed next to it, and do that repeatedly under more rigorous experimental conditions, then it would seem to suggest the conclusion, that this vine can somehow visually 'see'.
That was the peak of 2022, today it's 30.74EUR/MWh, not 670EUR/MWh: https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/electricity-price

Compared to the rest of Europe 0.03€/kWh is quite cheap.

The price so low does not surprise me as Germany is producing 46GW of energy with wind alone right now: https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE
> By this logic a car crash isn’t binary either

Uh... yes? Would you rather take a 50mph head on collision driving a 2023 Outback or a 1930 Model A?

The point is that car crashes are indeed dangerous, and we've spent a century of engineering making them significantly (vastly, really) less so. And that's a good thing to be celebrated, and not rejected just because we don't want to get into crashes in the first place. Climate change mitigation follows the same ethical principles.

I remember a time when the Pi was just 15 euro. Now it's nowhere near that.

There are plenty of x86 dual and quad cores around 100-150 "dollars". They are just as bad as the new Pi. Better spend a bit more and get a much better product.
> DaVinci painted so meticulously that his works have hundreds of layers of paint that are thinner than a strand of hair.

DaVinci had really bad technique and couldn't help but endlessly fiddle with his paintings. Many of his paintings never saw the light of day because he ruining them and never finished them.

The Last Supper that we know and love was actually a superior copy made by one of his proteges because his original fresco fell apart after a few years owing to his "innovative techniques" - he painted on dry plaster because he took way too long on it.

DaVinci was wonderfully imaginative and a very unique artist, but I don't think his reputation has been fully earned by his achievements.
The knowledge how to program on old systems like the NES is located sparsely on the Internet and there aren't many coding examples. A LLM would have a very difficult time producing a cartridge ROM with no single-byte errors. Even multiple iterations wouldn't iron out the errors. The closest thing you could do would be construct a template and have the LLM fill in the graphics or text, but that's not versatile at all.
It looked to me like the bridge goes over the low spot that always fills with water when it rains a lot.

And in addition to the new bridge, there appears to be a French drain trailing off down the shallow gully toward a chain link fence.

I will work for as long as I am able.

As my friend's father used to say, "I've never had a problem finding work. Ever. Getting paid for that work, now that's another matter."
All work and no play.. I personally enjoy Warno a lot, I have over 1000 ranked game. Eugen games are very engaging I think it actually keeps me sane while only using max 40 minutes for a session.
Reading is more interactive than that Schopenhauer quote gives it credit for being. When I’m reading something challenging or interesting, it’s almost like I’m having a conversation with the author.
I don’t think carriers being greedy monopolists is the idiocy of mankind; more like we are idiots for allowing regulatory capture to not only permit but encourage them in this sort of abusive rentseeking.
I am curious about people's experience with this kind of system, I have been thinking about it for years, but never actually tried it.

I sometimes feel like finding the explicit unit of some sub-expressions in geometry might be complicated. I know "auto" avoids that particular problem, but I don't have a good policy for when to put "auto" to avoid expressing a complex type and when to explicit the type to block the propagation of errors.

Also during debugging we might need to display some customary unit for sub expressions/watchpoints because the SI unit means nothing to humans in some fields (pressure comes to mind, some people use mm of water, mm of mercury, bars, etc.)
The client has a way to specify what server to use. That is described at the bottom of this file: https://github.com/Librum-Reader/Librum-Server/blob/main/sel...

The article referenced conflates public companies and private ones. Public companies do have liability restrictions, but notably (in the U.S.) ownership is explicitly reported. LLC’s are private companies, but in many states their ownership can be masked or wholly secret.

In my experience masking ownership or allowing secret ownership of LLC’s is a net loss for society as a whole. There is a large surface area where ownership is not being masked for a good reason, but is being done as deliberate deception.
Paying someone is free speech? I didn't realize I was exercising my free speech rights every time I went to the grocery store. What does speech even mean in that context?
Would you mind detailing out the step of "forward the JSON to an LLM" - as I have a tangentially similar thing I'd like to solve, but I don't know how to do that step - or point me at whatever helped you to learn that step.

No idea, I don't drive. But both of those are a crash, regardless of the speed or model.
> reading is simply the replaying of another's thoughts

And as it turns out, replaying someone else’s thoughts can be highly rewarding. It transmits ideas and satiates the brain’s need for new information. It helps ideas spread, and can fundamentally alter the direction of one’s life.

Another way to look at this is that the words are a form of program that configures your brain. The act of reading changes the reader. What you choose to read will modulate this change. Characterizing reading as simply replaying thoughts really misses what’s happening, which is a fascinating transmission of information between biological animals who invented a word game complex enough for us to enable us to dismiss it as “replaying thoughts”. And for sake of argument, let’s say it’s just replaying thoughts. That’s pretty interesting/incredible on its own.

Video games usually scratch a different kind of itch. They provide challenging tasks in a structured environment with a clear feedback loop that indicates progress. The ones that include dialogue options layer on an additional level of interactivity/feedback.

What it unclear is why this notion has or must have a dismal conclusion.
Local AI models (LLMs, Diffusion models) will take off in popularity as their performance will be good enough for many use cases without having to use a server. Also would allow a lot of startups to leverage client computation without having to host models on expensive GPU servers.

Of course not. I don't know how you got that I 'support genocide' from my post.

That's what the docs say, yes
(Current) Geodesist and Professional Land Surveyor (formerly employed as; license retained) here chiming in. While I appreciate the sentiment that we will never go out of business, I’d like to proffer a couple points related to this statement and the more technical one that followed (they’re integrally linked). While tectonic plates do move more than one might assume, it is actually those same surveyors who model this movement utilizing Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) (and other technologies) that are strategically placed and constantly collecting positional data - the National Geodetic Survey, in my opinion, is one of the most remarkable and important scientific agencies the USA maintains. Land surveying measurements rely upon the datum’s and (soon) projections NGS publishes, which indeed does account for these movements, provided the user correctly applies the velocity movement and temporal changes to the epoch desired. However, it is less this movement that keeps surveyors employed and far more their legal expertise that does. Land Surveyors are the front line maintainers, interpreters, and, in a sense, the creators/subdividers of the cadastral system responsible for private property. So long as their are (on-the-ground) boundary disputes over land and title, a surveyor will be needed. Coordinates may one day be the controlling aspect of those boundaries, but unfortunately that is not for the land surveyors to decide (I digress…a simple comment on this forum could never account for the nuances needed in that discussion).

Also, apologies, but a correction: a multi-station DOES incorporate GNSS along with a theodolite (and Electronic Distance Measurer, which, when all three are combined is marketed as a “multi station”). I believe you meant a Total Station is more precise, which is a combination theodolite/EDM, excluding GNSS, and which does, locally, produce more precise standalone measurements though at the cost of being limited to direct line of sight. Each plays an integral part of survey field work and their application.
I was visiting local flight school and checked their FNTP II MCC simulators few years ago. Instructor told me they will not let any students do training on simulators before they have real flight hours.
I would not have been as kind to FF7 as this author was. By any modern measure it is a bad game. The raw story material and the character design is fantastic. But the gameplay. The gameplay is so tedious the author couldn’t even continue without modifying the game.
We’ve had some success with similar methods. In addition to the simplicity(it just “plugs into” the existing board), it’s nice to get metrics on the bottlenecks happening on the product side of things. If we can show that it historically takes 2 weeks to refine requirements, we can tighten up our estimates and shine a light on potential problems occurring there. If you only have metrics on the dev work, the more business-minded folks tend to focus improvements only on what they can measure.

I’ve also found that folding product workflows into the Kanban board gives the team more visibility and ownership over that end of the pipeline. We can observe how those items age before it ever gets to the dev team and swarm to fix things as a team earlier in the process.
My understanding is they were on Euro 2 fuel until 2020 but trying to shift to Euro 5 now
Canonical does not mean complete.

Why dont Floridians install panels themselves? Airco use correlates strongly with sunshine, so I imagine they pay themselves back within a year or three.
I believe this can be more generic, having something you're into makes every day enjoyable.

I had that realization a couple of years ago. Happiness for me is doing less things I don't enjoy and more of the things I do enjoy.

Gaming is nice because there is little effort to start. Just sit in front of a PC and play.

Something like surfing requires more effort, getting changed, getting to a beach with waves, etc. I hate the setup, but it's possible to minimize it by living somewhere warm (no wet suit needed) and on the beach so you don't need to drive.

That's how I live my life nowadays. Doing very few things I don't enjoy, minimizing the effort required to do the things I do enjoy and doing things I actually enjoy instead of things I'm indifferent about (like watching garbage Netflix shows).

Fortunately, that’s not how language works. When a lot of people use a word a certain way, that defines it as cromulent. Everyone knows the browser spell-checkers are 1) incomplete and rather mid, and 2) sometimes to be deliberately ignored when writing, because it doesn’t have any of the portmanteaus I like to use.

Also, “anecdata” has a dictionary definition, which confirms it as correct: https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=Anecd... It’ll show up in Merriam Webster and in your browser spell checker sooner or later. (Here’s a sample of brand new dictionary words this year, added because people were using them: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/new-words-in-the-di...)

Anecdata is different from the plural of anecdote, it can be used correctly and more aptly than “anecdotes” in situations where the alternative is statistical evidence, which is common here on HN. It can also be used for fun in any situation the writer deems, because that’s acceptable use of English (cf. Lewis Carroll).

Maybe take the last clause of ChatGPT’s prosocial answer to heart, and embrace a variety of experiences. Language, especially English, is really fluid and fun when you learn how to use it. There are almost no language police nit-pick meme talking points that are actually correct. Literally has always meant figurative, myriad can be correctly preceded with “a” and followed with “of”, “less” and “fewer” can be used interchangeably in any situation, etc. etc.. Invariably when someone tries to go edgelord and get on their high horse about their pet English annoyance, they’re actually wrong.

(Valid dictionary words I used that give me red squiggles and/or spelling suggestions: anecdata, edgelord, merriam-webster, OED, prosocial, mid, nit-pick.)
Seems possible with LORA versions of them like stable diffusion uses it for modular recombination.
This is me with Dota 2 currently. I play against bots every few days, and don’t obsess over studying the nuances, which I know are myriad. Feels like there are 2-3 separate games being played simultaneously within the single game that interact in different ways.

Accepting that I’m a filthy casual has been lots of fun. I should probably use that time to practice guitar, but I like the change of pace.

I really have to admit - I don't feel threatened by the author or by criticism of the author. I believe, like many others here, that this text actually doesn't deserve much attention. It's clearly apocalyptic. But it's interesting how the internet medium can compel you to engage in debate.
Actually we do: we grow a lot of food to feed cattle, which we can switch to human consumption (and we get to eat the cattle too). We produce a huge surplus of food.

And the potential of disaster does not imply the sky is falling. The potential for disaster is always there. That's still no reason to sit down and give up.

No mention of re-purposing the servers' waste heat?

Existing datacenters can be seen as compute facilities that generate heat as by-product.

But in 2023, newly planned ones should be treated as heating facilities that produce compute as by-product, imho. Cheap hydro electricity is no excuse: easy to use that elsewhere.
