We somewhat have this with object picking. You can render objects with unique IDs to a framebuffer, so it's all in parallel. Then you just query the buffer at your mouse coordinates.

Of course you lose some properties of the object and it's on a one frame delay. There's the added complexity of collision response, working in 3-dimensions, etc. But, to the point of just "eyeballing" collision, we can actually parallelize it!

I agree, and I’m also struggling to understand the strong need for labeling. For how I know Graeber, the fact that he definitely changed his views over time is nothing but a positive. If someone in Academia isn’t willing to challenge their views from 10 years prior that’s a pretty bad sign about that person’s thinking and intellectual work.

Unions can cause industries/companies to stagnate if they make it too hard to fire people or if they squeeze their respective companies out of too much money.

I didn't speak with them, so I can't verify if "There is quite a bit of bad ideas the people pop up to propose time and time again". I need to verify why they are bad and why they're proposing. Before concluding they're bad you need to understand why. Many ideas are bad, but what I'm saying is that there's a few people like Roy Fielding, Tim Berners Lee, Mike Amundsen, & other that I don't remember their names, that actually have GREAT ideas, only that newbiew engineers with title of "senior" don't understand. Not saying it's your case, just saying there's no way to verify so I can't "explain" to you the effect you're observing.
But I'm not talking about those, I'm talking about one specific currently airing show. Though even if you outsource to Japan, it still depends who does the animation direction and storyboards.

(And coloring. I feel like it's easy to spot American attempts in particular because all the colors are too contrasty and oversaturated, and then they put glowy neon effects on top.)

Note, fake anime in other Asian countries is getting really good these days, and in fact is starting to take over Japan because other countries don't use the Japanese industry strategy of "never change anything and never try to make any money".

The same inequality exists with drug testing too. A lot of low wage roles get drug tested on a regular basis while higher paying careers don’t.

Outside the military, pilots rarely get tested despite the fact they’re responsible for many more lives than fork lift operators or truck drivers (who often do get tested). Doctors pretty much only get tested if they botch a surgery or someone reports them. Lawyers? Wallstreet traders? There would be a nation wide solidarity strike.

Bill Gates famously joked in the 90s that Microsoft would lose a third of their engineers instantly if they drug tested. The NSA even had to make an official exception on past drug use so people would stop failing the security screening (although they still get tested iirc).

The biggest insight I got from Vision Zero is that the focus on dangerous drivers is deeply flawed. All you are doing is doubling down on that flawed viewpoint, seemingly to justify your disdain of bankers, without really understanding the consequences your argument.

Roads and traffic laws did not appear by magic. They are created by people, and the design of those roads and laws, and the construction of those roads, contributes to any crashes. Some intersections are dangerous due to bad design, and it's possible to design a less dangerous intersection. We haven't made all intersections as safe as we can because it's expensive and a whole lot of people prefer shorter drive times and the increase in danger over safer intersections.

Using your logic, any city with a dangerous intersection - effectively all of them - are already committing TREASON, and the voters who authorized the bond sales which paid for them are accessories to crime who should be subject to criminal liabilities.

When the vast majority of adults are treasonous criminals who control state power, it's no longer treason or criminal.

This is not to sound contrarian, but I genuinely believe and have had the exact opposite experience to everything you describe.

Method 1 is preferred for me, because it's actually going out there and "doing it". It makes me focused.

Method 2 is where I spiral. Because it's ambiguous, because it's safe, instead of actually making art, I continue just improving the art station. I stall. I go into a kind of "gathering" mindset where I just collect and collect and collect (also known as GAS, gear acquisition syndrome) and I never actually end up making anything.

But I think there is some truth in what you're saying. I think what's missing for me is that feeling of "comfort". Instead, I get a feeling of anxiety when I approach art, but I'm not exactly sure why.

It's actually for this reason why I couldn't continue drawing as a hobby. It would just make me feel incredibly anxious, like I had to force myself to do it. Any literature or advice on this would be fantastic.
You are right. They are part of a much larger proxy war with many fronts that involves a lot of different parties at this point. It's all a bit murky who is playing who and why but clearly the Iranians are supplying the Houthi's; just like they've been supplying the Palestinians. Then the US is supplying the Saudi's who have been fighting a very ugly conflict in Yemen for a very long time. The US is also supplying the Israeli's who are fighting the Palestinians. and then you have the Russians active in Syria with a clear interest in distracting the US from the war in the Ukraine and reducing the level of support they provide to Ukraine. Russia of course is also being supplied by the Iranians. And then you have the Chinese lurking in the background. It's very complicated.

The real question is who is going to do anything about this, if any. Attacking some Houthi targets is just fighting the symptoms here. A direct attack on Iran seems much less likely and appealing. It would turn the proxy war into a real war. It seems the Iranians are quite successful at discouraging that sort of response.
all those things are useless.

Oh, sure. Still not anywhere nearly as good as the latest Zen parts but the n100 mini pcs are very cheap.
I like this argument because it frames the “self”/“you” as an illusion—instead, there is a more distributed self. I recognize that there are arguments against this argument — but you point out that DNA identity is pretty distributed as well. Neat.
This begs a question: how difficult (trivial) would it be to add a warning directly to a package manager about deprecated packages? Granted, the dependency hell is likely still there.
In conflict between states, like/dislike does play a role, but it's largely the inability to trust. In the absence of a regional/world power, you have to attack the other guy before he attacks you, because there's an impenetrable information asymmetry meaning you can't truly know their intentions. The problem is, both sides are running the same calculus, and both sides knows that the other side is thinking the same thing. So even if you think the other side doesn't want to attack you, you think they may do so out of precaution because they are concerned that you are thinking like this, which gives you an incentive to attack them first before they come to the logical conclusion that you've just arrived at.

It's one reason why violence can be so high in tribal societies. There is no higher power to resolve disputes so you need to front-run the hypothetical violence of the opponent, which creates a game theory situation where the only solution is to attack.

The way to break this dynamic is to have a hegemon, like the US, who can dictate outcomes (e.g. a border) to both sides and enforce it. This can then de-escalate. France no longer side-eyes Germany and vice versa because the US guarantees that neither will do anything. Some attribute this to democratic institutions, prosperity, a common enemy (Russia), etc, which largely does explain things, but it's not the entire picture. If the rest of the world disappeared, tensions between Germany and France would probably go up again due to there being no external power to enforce the status quo.

That said, the Houthis are a non-state actor, so the same logic may not apply.

We just need a right turn arrow at all intersections before pedestrians walk.
Even doing it randomly, I found the content is extremely heavy on "play the most forcing move, ideally sacrificing the strongest piece possible with check". It took me 10+ problems to find one where this didn't apply (#659).

This would go down well on Reddit, where that style of puzzle is almost the only one appreciated. And it's a good way to quickly drill a few checkmate themes. But for chess improvement I would recommend a more general tactics trainer. IMO Chesstempo cracked the problem of automatically generating and rating interesting problems, but if you find the interface there too dated, lichess or chess.com have a reasonable second-best.

> ..., or do you think something outside of physics is required?

I am most sympathetic to the argument that self-consciousness is an emergent phenomenon that is not easily modeled, but is nevertheless derived from physics. In the context of my previous comment, it is this emergent phenomenon that is deemed "intelligent".

> If I made a careful atom by atom (or quark/lepton/boson) copy of every atom in your brain and body in a different location, would that new copy be intelligent?

Yes.

> If our intelligence is purely a result of physical processes, then why do you suppose it would be impossible for us (or more advanced future beings), to construct a machine which can also follow those processes?

I think it is possible, and not too far off to boot. We might get (maybe we already have gotten) the intelligence without the particular emergent phenomenon of self-consciousness that is of the kind humans possess, at least not at first. Some of us will call that AGI, some of us won't. Because we are still working out the terminology and taxonomy. Discussions like these in HN help.

Maybe we'll get the emergent phenomenon soon thereafter. If it is in fact intractable to model (and therefore to train for directly), it may happen unpredictably. Exciting times.
I think they are anarchist in that they have a loose structure without formal laws. I think they inflict reputational damage to the concept of anarchy. Violent gangs are exactly what people are afraid of when they think of anarchy.

I think in reality, if there was pervasive anarchy for everyone without any overarching state, there would be more opportunities and incentives for deal-making between gangs and violence would trend towards zero.

Currently, it's illegal to make deals with gangs and they're almost 100% made up of people with criminal tendencies since honest people don't want to be associated with gangs. If every social group was a gang and there was no state, then people would have a strong incentive to join a gang for protection/support and so there would be a lot of good, honest people inside those gangs and this composition would make the gangs less violent.
you were also a privilege person in the West and oblivious to poorer people outside of larger cities as the people you saw in China being oblivious to poorer people living outside of larger cities. foreigners, no matter how privileged, hardly can live inside the safety bubbles you yourself lived in the west.
No, for it to only be an accent, humans kind of have to understand each other - mutual intelligibility and all that. We’re pretty good at interpreting imperfect input.
The Iranian backing of the Houtis is not exactly a secret and sufficient to explain what's happening. Anything else is icing on the cake but not enough to supply them, if Iran would drop away as a supporter then the Houtis would fail.

I am betting on the second coming of netbooks with handled Windows gaming devices.

Lets see how long SteamOS, mostly running Windows games, with hold against MSI, ASUS, Lenovo and everyone else that is yet to bring their own, with access to all stores available on Windows.
Other than sometimes not understanding what I’m calling my devices (mostly lights, and mostly because I don’t have them named consistently), my Google Home devices work just fine.

I keep seeing articles about complaints with Alexa, but we use Google Home quite a bit without any of these problems.

It’s not perfect, but any issues we have with them now are the same issues we’ve always had with them. I don’t know of any regressions.

But maybe we don’t use those features?

We mostly use it to control our smart devices (lights, vacuums), set timers, ask it questions (that we would otherwise Google), and play music on Spotify. The most common uses, I would think.
I acknowledge your concern, but also wish to point out that the emphasis/tone is slightly misdirected [fn]

India certainly has a long way to go on this front. It feels very reminiscent of the US circa the gilded age roughly a century ago (Eg: look up worker safety in manufacturing, or fire safety scandals in NYC from back then). I’m sure Europe had a similar story. A society that is experiencing real and somewhat sustained growth for the first time is going to learn some hard lessons through the process, and then be forced into improvements to prevent the ugly side-effects. But the growth engine must first get going, before what seems like “overheads” can be paid from the surplus — and it likely will take a few decades. But you’d be surprised at the extent to which culture can change in a couple of generations (and how many bedrock cultural behaviors are relatively young).

[fn] This is crucial for learning the right lessons, and inspiring the right response. It is certainly a solvable problem, it’s important to look at history to understand how other societies solved the problem after similar growth pangs.

Agreed. For example: Animals in the wilderness also rely on violence and coercion. Even herbivores predate on plants. Clearly this violence and coercion is even less justifiable, as animals as a group have no social contract theory etc to speak of. Therefore, there should be no animals.

There are people who genuinely believe this, such as https://reducing-suffering.org/ . But they definitely don't come at it from such a half baked angle.
Not only collision detection, but everything that uses floats like graphic does.

I've always found it... somewhat unfitting, I think... that this is called the "underhanded" C contest, because so many of the winners work by getting trivial type and preprocessor stuff wrong in ways that are concerningly easy for the average programmer. Like, the 2015 winner interpreting an array of n doubles as an array of 2n floats because it screwed up a typedef of float_t, or the 2008 winner reading 3 bits out of something because it left the parentheses off of a macro definition. These are core operations for using the language as intended! There's nothing fancy going on! This is code that you, yes, you, could have written following every best practice on earth. The contest is almost tailor-made to produce evidence that C should never be used for anything that requires reliability or correctness.
