Absolutely, while Kotlin is a first class citizen in Android, it isn't going away. Neither is Scala because there are plenty of developers who like bleeding-edge and experimental language features. Personally I don't use it anymore as really don't need things like implicit parameters, but props to each and every early adopter of language features that help Java evolve. Thanks to Kotlin and Scala, Java can now be very pleasant to code in.

For that to be actually good, you don't just need AGI, you need an LLM with the writing quality of a New Vegas writer. The difficulty there is that the training corpus is too small to create one.
Because it’s not. Thermodynamics is a law, not a political or mental thing!

My maximum effort in a day was an 8 hour off road bike ride. I burned 3500kCal just from the riding, as measured by a power meter. The body can’t even absorb enough carbs to replace that in the same time.

There is some difference in efficiency between people for muscular exercise - between 20% and 25% of energy burned actually gets converted to work.

And no people cannot extract more or less. They can absorb more or less in total for carbs - between 80 to 120 g/hr balanced between glucose and fructose is the limit for most people.
Maybe. Of course it is up to them to decide strategy.
> Russian troops kept advancing

Did they? The war is in a stalemate. Militarily this isn't that different than the proxy wars of the Cold War EXCEPT Russia has suffered more casualties by a magnitude or two than the USSR did in Afghanistan or the US in Vietnam. For the Russian regime this war is now 100% an existential threat.

For the US from an entirely a real-politik point of view, if the end goal is to defeat Russia dragging the war on might even be a preferable option. After this is over Russian will be militarily crippled for the next 10-20 years due to massive and unsustainable manpower and economic costs. The balance of power will tip even further towards NATO making any further Russian expansion in Eastern Europe impossible (especially now that Finland and Sweden have joined).

Of course Ukraine is caught in between...

Only if those dialogues lead to something real. Just doing small talk with NPCs is easy to accomplish, but integrating it into the world, where depending on the dialoge you get new quest relevant information - or have to fight the NPC if you insult them too much or say the wrong thing - is way harder.
The simple fact that there's no societies left using shells, beads, Rai stones, etc. Only the hardest money survived - gold.

However although gold is hard, it fair to say that it was beaten somewhat by soft fiat money, simply due to the overwhelmingly better other monetary qualities of fiat (e.g. portability and divisibility) especially in the digital age.

Bitcoin is a hard money that takes the best monetary qualities of both fiat and gold, improves them, and combines them into a single asset with which neither fiat or gold (or shells or beads for that matter) can compete.

It would have been more accurate for me to have said "societies with the _best_ money win"
I'm replying to this:

I don't see the point in hypotheticals. You're restating the politics you've absorbed over years of consuming a certain slant of media. There's no point in that, and no point in me doing the same.
This topic is interesting especially in the context of beaches and coastal areas.

At least in Australia, a lot of beaches are eroding. Fast. Like, the Gold Coast is basically completely artificial at this point, they truck the sand in from somewhere else on a regular basis to keep the tourism and Schoolies dickheads constantly flowing through: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-20/the-gold-coast-ever-d...

In that very same Gold Coast (and in many beaches in Australia, and I believe other parts of the world), they erect literal "shark nets" to fence off the parts of the coast that people frequently swim in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_net

So my point is, we already engage in a terrific amount of ... I kinda wanna call it "shitty terraforming" ... in our coastal areas. Turning a few kilometer stretch of beach into a jacuzzi doesn't sound so bad to me when framed in that context :)

Eh not really, you just need a good way to RAG the existing story so it only mildly adapts it to your actions. No need to make up the whole thing on the fly, baby steps.

A prompt along the lines of character card, available actions, story so far, what player said, response text, response action. Actions still limited to what the game can actually do of course, but it would already be far more varied than strictly defined trees. Shame that local llms are so crap at function calling for the actions part, but it might stil work with an ad hoc model and extensive grammar restrictions.
Not at all. I just see some mild sarcasm.

Steam's basically already flooded with low quality games, but the recommendation systems (human and otherwise) seem to do a decent job at dealing with it.
Do any of these low quality, asset flip or AI everything games make any money? I suppose it's not the largest effort to make them, but scoring a few bucks here and there from them also doesn't sound like it's worth the time.

Smaller companies treat employees different, to an extent. Because in the end, regardless of company size, the owners expect a return of their investment. In case of owner-managed companies even more so.

To everyone their poison so, I guess. I learned that I am a large company guy, by a nature and nurture. Other people I know are the complete oppossite. One thing I learned so, no employee ever is safe. Not even lifetime employed state / public servants.

As a solo game dev, I'm quite happy with this change. I'm a programmer & musician by trade, art is definitely my weak point.

I don't think paying artists for their work is gonna go away any time soon, there's just so much that can't be done well by AI right now (UI, rigging, animation, particle effects). However I think allowing AI assets will enable many new types of games to be financially viable. Yes, that will include low effort asset flips, but I think it will also include unique games made by developers with a powerful, singular vision.
This is why I hate working as a regular salaried employee. After this happened to me a few years after college, I spent over a decade building up a consulting business. I always keep multiple clients at the same time and I'm not devasted if one chooses not to renew my contract.
> If no, then I have no further questions. We seem to have a very different understanding of what discrimination is.

No, we don't. You already understood that my point is it's confusing to use the term in a context where it has another meaning, without disambiguating.

> If yes, what are the fundamental differences between this hypothetical situation and the real world situation of lower minimum wages for younger people?

If there wouldn't be the confusion then I wouldn't bring up the confusion.

> Why would you consider one to be discriminatory and the other to not be?

You're missing the point. There are some things we allow and some things we don't. E.g. 3 year olds can't drive. Would you consider that to be discrimination? The answer is "Who cares - we were just talking about avoiding using terms with multiple meanings in written conversation."
As long as you can get another job and can get severance pay, a layoff feel like an achievement than a loss. That happened me in my last company, one that I was very attached to for what I now think was irrational reasons. I wanted to leave anyway, but having it just happen and getting a nice severance pay was a perk. I am treating my new job as the complete opposite and the feeling is cathartic, which allows me to focus better on my work instead of worrying about the maintaining the illusion of identity in the company I work for.
Someone should start an massive incubator that takes in top laid off employees and gives them resources to build a competing product. They will be motivated as hell and have a ton of domain knowledge and generally have a good idea on how to do things in way more efficient way than what their former employer did. For kicks and to save money replace most of mngmnt roles with AI model.
I see what you are saying. I am an engineer-turned-EM and you don't know me, so please take everything I say with a grain of salt:

> Your job is NOT safe.

Nothing will make execs happier than having this line of thought popularized amongst engineers. It will allow them to hire cheaper, and exploit existing engineers more.

I think a better way to put it is:

"A job is not your family, and a job is not your identity. You must rely on yourself"

This line of thinking still means diversifying your options, building an emergency fund, have a fulfilling life outside work, keep doing interviews from time to time, spend some cycles thinking about "what would I do if I where to build my own startup", etc. But it will not put you in the "oh my I need to accept whatever they offer me right now" path.

Especially on FAANG companies, it very easy to "get lost in the technical work" and to "offshore your life's direction to the company", so to speak. If you think this might be happening to you, I recommend involving someone else - a coach, a therapist, a friend, a brother or a priest. Whatever works for you. Someone from outside the company. It might be scary and uncomfortable at first, but taking the driver's seat of your life is worth it.

Objectively not true. Look at what happened with Britain after 1918 when tried doing everything they could to stick with "hard" money and avoid devaluation/dropping the gold standard.

Thirteen. Instagram had thirteen employees when acquired by Facebook.

I’m sorry, but most tech companies are clueless when it comes to management. Cost analysis as it relates to the actual activities of an engineering labor force are brushed to the side as overhead, which makes no sense since these are direct costs.

What’s the cost of a poorly specified product? What’s the cost of a meeting? What’s the cost of involving engineers in the hiring process? What’s the cost of multiple programming languages? What’s the cost of having separate teams for front-end, back-end, operations? What’s the cost of adding another engineer to a team?

I’ve never seen any effort put into any of the above. This is underpants gnomes territory:

1.) acquire new engineers

2.) ?

3.) profit

Hence massive overhiring with unaccounted for costs that lead shortly to layoffs and hiring freezes.

The more I learn about managerial accounting (thanks dad!) the more dysfunction I see at most organizations.

Apparently Oracle does attempt to uncovers these costs, but I can’t find the case study.

All of this has an incredibly large impact on financial reporting, hence rosy projections based on EBITDA followed by the sobering realizations when those projections are not met. Most tech firms actually base internal management on EBITDA! This is borderline insane internally and borderline fraud externally.
I own the Aranet4 sensor (highly recommend) and I’m in the US with not particularly great sealing and my sensor will read a 600ppm jump in a matter of 30 minutes.

I basically have to keep the window in my bedroom open 24/7, even when it’s cold outside, just to keep my CO2 levels in the healthy range otherwise it will be pushing 2000ppm in the morning.
Honestly the size really doesn’t matter that much. As soon as it’s favorable you are out in ANY company. In my observational experience it’s only 10 to 20% companies who have heart and where they do actually try to maintain talent and foster good working relationships.

Not it doesen't. Also bitcoin is not money (why do people keep claiming this?), it's a speculative asset.

There is something I'm not sure of about new topics. Bitcoin makes it's value mostly it's aspect of being decentralized. I think new approves does not increase original bitcoin value. Maybe the big guys wants to create another hype loop that will gather people's money.
But they are not theoretical, users who have their own crypto wallets have been unaffected by all the failed exchanges (MtGox, FTX, etc.)

There are other actual advantages that some people today benefit from, like avoiding confiscation and uncensorable transactions ( which would have been appreciated by the Canadian truckers when they were debanked), or protection against high inflation (like many Venezuelans and Argentinians do).

This is not to say that the UX of cryptocurrencies is not good enough for the majority of people, but that is a separate criticism.
When a company has embedded itself so deeply in public life - globally - it's reasonable to have strong feelings about its actions.

When we say layoffs work, are we considering the way the same companies overhired just a few years ago, harming the rest of the employment market? Do we remember this in later discussions when we treat these companies as prescient hiveminds, in spite of them using overtuned bang-bang control for their hiring? Do we remember it in discussions about workers rights and the things we tie to employment in the naive assumption that only those who deserve it lose their jobs?
What does it do when executed?
> Probably a confusion of what that percentage is - whilst the monthly figure is as you have said, the accumulated/aggregate percentage of inflation over those two years is probably what GP refers to as 18%

“Montly” inflation rates are usually expressed in terms relative to the prior year, not prior month.

When we look at another data source, annual inflation rates for the UK don’t appear to be 18%: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/inf...
Operation Fish
I have a somewhat popular HTTP server library for Zig [1]. It started off as a thread-per-connection (with an optional thread pool), but when it became apparent that async wasn't going to be added back into the language any time soon, I switched to using epoll/kqueue.

Both APIs allow you to associate arbitrary data (a `void *` in kqueue, or a union of `int/uin32_t/uint65_/void *` in epoll) with the event that you're registering. So when you're notified of the event, you can access this data. In my case, it's a big Conn struct. It contains things like the # of requests on this connection (to enforce a configured max request per connection), a timestamp where it should timeout if there's no activity. The Conn is part of an intrusive linked list, so it has a next: *Conn and prev: *Conn. But, what you're probably most curious about, is that it has a Request.State. This has a static buffer ([]u8) that can grow as needed to hold all the received data up until that point (or if we're writing the data, then the buffered data that we have to write). It's important to have a max # of connections and a max request size so you can enforce an upper limit on the maximum memory the library might use. It acts as a state machine to track up to what point it's parsed the request. (since you don't want to have to re-parse the entire request as more bytes trickle in).

It's all half-baked. I can do receiving/sending asynchronously, but the application handler is called synchronously, and if that, for example, calls PG, that's probably also synchronous (since there's no async PG library in Zig). Makes me feel that any modern language needs a cohensive (as in standard library, or de facto standard) concurrency story.

Perhaps you should read your own sources. From the abstract of the second study: "At the 3-year follow-up, 53% of the original sample (of 621 persons) maintained losses of 5% or more and 35% losses of 10% or more.". From the third study: "When successful weight maintenance was defined as maintaining a weight loss of 5% or 10% of initial (pre-treatment) body weight, 40% were maintaining a 5% weight loss at five years and 25% were maintaining a weight loss of 10% at 7 years." The other studies also don't back up your 0.1% estimate.

Your initial statement is completely misleading and shockingly you have provided hard evidence against it.
True yeah, it may make sense to have multiple models or at least different processing stages for specific parts of that. One to actually reply back based on context, another to do sentiment analysis for facial animations, another to pick from a list of reponse actions based on the convo, another to adjust the storyline to make it make sense given actions so far, etc.
