Out of curiosity, does your autonomous mower behave as idiotically has a autonomous vacuum like a Roomba? For a vacuum, that's okay, but for something on my lawn, I'd hate to see what the patterns in the grass would look like.

I clearly have no experience with one of these things, and just taking the worst of one and (most probably) improperly applying it to something else.
Navigating Ambiguity
> Like if a NPC mentions something not already in game, generate a proxy and turn it into a quest?

This does not sound trivial
I see both arguments here. Games just aren’t the same as music or video - when an album or a movie is finished, what you get can be frozen in time and still work without the film or record company again.

Games used to be entirely this way, and some still are, but any manner of live-service game can’t realistically work in that model for an indefinite period of time like movies and music can. This is also true to a lesser extent for patches and DLC, although they shouldn’t be necessary (but day one patches are a thing, I imagine the games companies aren’t unhappy about this, as there’s an incentive to release a broken game with a day-one patch as a future copy protection measure).
Because of the issues with OpenVPN/Wireguard blocking, a few months ago I completely switched to shadowsocks which I think mostly works.
But it looks like https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-go -- is the way to go, which is an obfuscated wireguard.
Stalin managed to kill more Russians and Ukranians than Germany did during both world wars combined. Putin is turning the country into a geriatric corpse because young people who have other options leave and those who can't get killed in the war or don't want to bring children into this kind of future. A functioning state has to at least keep it's residents from getting mass murdered or facing such a bleak future that they die out voluntarily.

Recently setup zola for hosting recipes and other info within my home. I found it overall ok, but there were some quirks that made it a little difficult.

I enjoyed that you can build your own shortcode elements, so for my page I wrote a little script to scan for baking ingredient quantites and shows a widget to rescale the whole recipe. I can just type out regular recipes as markdown, without special tags other than wrapping in the shortcode.

Finding an existing template that is complete and easy to integrate took enough time that I just made my own outline and snazzed it up with a classless css framework (Sakura), though there are a couple blogs that dig down into which supports what features. Templating itself is fairly easy though the tutorial is a little convoluted.

Figuring out which variables were available for a specific context/page wasn't straightforward or seemingly consistent.

My biggest irritation though was that taxonomies have to be manually hardcoded at the top of each markup page, rather than naturally tagging within the document. And they need a specific template already existing to even build (it will error if everything doesn't match exactly)

I should note that Zola seems to be designed specifically for documentation, so trying to shoehorn it to other uses could be part of the friction I felt.
I think you are missing the point (and think it is an interesting one).

I don't think they are overstating games as the single biggest factor, just part of a possible trend, which could be undesirable when considered in its totality.

More of a question if we are heading towards a future where "you'll own nothing and be happy", and the downsides of that on psychological wellbeing.
This is how search for headphone opinions: "What Hi Fi best wired headphones 2023"

In other words I've reverted to a source I trust. Google's little more than a better DNS here. Swapping out the year, that search term's done me proud for 9 years and 4 pairs of headphones.
The kneejerk reaction is to dismiss it as fake, but I think it's legit. There are several examples of traders or firms who have made similar huge returns consistently, like James Simmons. It logically stands to reason there will be others, although rare of course. Given how strong the bull market has been, a strategy that aggressively buys 0-day call options on the dips would be very profitable.
Debugging. It takes hours to pinpoint exact cause of anything more
complex than a toy program, especially when the bug
requires a combination of factors to manifest.
In most situations its much harder to debug code
that you didn't write, but it appears as if debugging
is "easy" because people do it on their own code.

Bonus(appear easy to do, but are actually hard):
Micro-optimizations that target a specific platform:
a combination of CPU-compiler-OS factors.

Porting software: There are tons of subtle unportable things
and assumptions that hide under the surface.

Rewriting X in Y:lots of footgun and like inexact
translation in natural languages can cause subtle bugs.

Makefiles and shell scripts: they look so simple,
but try debugging a moderately complex makefile
or shell scripts. Bash is especially sinister example.

Anything that talks to a closed/blackbox API or close-source library:
the dependence on code that you can't debug in general.

Maintaining software in general as it grows in complexity.
Taken all together the color palette stands out as a limitation. It's pretty much impossible to make a vivid looking game on this machine.

Thanks! One of the next features we'll on work will be support for arbitrary folders (basically all notes will be plaintext inside folders, currently they are all plaintexts but inside a local database), so you could sync your notes with any cloud provider (e.g., Dropbox). We'll also provide our own built-in sync option. There are plans for sharing notes, but not quite for real-time collaboration, if that's what you mean by "multiplayer". There are plans for collaboration in the future, but not real-time - I just don't think real-time collaboration is good for text-based formats.
Current consumer protection laws are lacking in the digital world. Purchase should mean ownership. Rent and lease should mean non-ownership.

We still don't have a quality definition of ownership. Example would be that the ability to edit the OS "hosts" file to prevent a device from accessing say "twitter.com" should be a requirement in ownership.

Owned / purchased content should not be able to be revoked. Such as Ubisoft locking your account and preventing you from playing the games you purchased. Rental and leased content would fall into the account locking ability by Ubisoft.
I am using more often bing chat now compared to google. Mainly for the GPT integration. Yes. Bard exists and is comparable. But I don't like where Google is going culturally as well as technologically. Starting with the weird firings lately to the incognito tracking.
Totally, but you could get a pretty big starting point vs knowing nothing. Especially if it is composed of organic compounds, you have a chance of deciphering some of the molecules.

My big hedge - I am not sure the specs of a 40 year old MS. Unit resolution is probably the best case scenario along with super limited m/z range. Interrogating a sample would be much harder than today.
I think they do.

1. I think the establishment of Special Economic Zones by Deng Xiaoping was inspired in part by Singapore's success.

2. Rwanda, which now seems to be doing well in an economic sense, is led by Paul Kagame, who is frequently compared to (and may even be trying to model himself on?) LKY. (Personally though, with the genocide, and Kagame's military background, and Rwanda's continued involvement in Congo, I think the analogy may actually be strained.)

3. The Brexiteers (optimistically, or delusionally), spoke for a while of trying to create a "Singapore on Thames" (London). I suspect LKY would have been amused.

The general theme is that comparisons to LKY seem to be more aspirational than truly legitimate. But the aspiration does exist.
The first plot in your link certainly looks inconclusive. It doesn’t look very close at all to meeting the statistical significance bar and I think it would be an error to conclude that it shows the emergency/provisionally licensed teachers were worse. But I wonder if other things might be going on, eg maybe COVID meant the emergency/provisionally licensed teachers were also disadvantaged from having less practice. And on the other hand, lots of them will have gotten much of the requirements for a license so it doesn’t really show much about the long term effects of changing the license requirements.
But you do have 1/(dy/dx) = dx/dy and you can get the insight deep if you follow on with actually using differentials properly, as in the paper linked here in this very thread by LudwigNagasena.

But then of course, you see that d^2 f/dx^2 is a bad expression for the second derivative, and that you should actually use differentials properly and write it as (d^2 f)/(dx)^2 - df/dx (d^2 f)/(df)^2.
Thank you so much for posting this.

I have a device where the app switcher is literally broken. I don't think it's due to gesture navigation, because the gesture works fine on a device from a different vendor (so I think I know how to do it correctly).

So yeah. Lenovo sucks.

Most of the need for the reconciliation was the cut to the top tax bracket, where most of the the tax revenue comes from (e.g., the top 1% of earners pay 42% of the taxes [0]). So focusing on that bracket seems valid in this context.

I recently bought a pair of headphones after asking ChatGPT, the free 3.5 version.

I had a brief conversation with the chat. It offered some options, and I refined my requirements in response. Specifically, after checking what it recommended initially, I told the chat I want wires, I don’t need any noise cancellation, and I absolutely don’t want integration with any cloud services.

I ended up buying Sennheiser IE 40 PRO. Already received and tested. Not sure whether it’s actually the best one, but IMO pretty good model.
His book on developing Singapore is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. https://www.amazon.com/Third-World-First-Singapore-1965-2000...

It's part (auto)biography, part business book (his country was a startup, and he had to do tremendous business deals, place winning bets on numerous trends, allocate scarce capital effectively, manage and lead and recruit and inspire a team, etc) part dictator/war/adventure book (he jumps from a page of business dealings to suddenly buying fighter jets and preparing for invasion, making alliances etc, then suddenly back to business), part travel/culture/life. You'd be hard pressed to find a man with a more eventful or interesting life. I highly recommend it. There's 3 books in total, but the one I linked takes you from the founding of the nation state to the modern era, and is the same book the linked excerpt is taken from.

I think the only conclusion I've been able to draw from anecdotes about homeschooling (having experienced it myself) is that outcomes are more varied than traditional education, whether there's a bias in that variance is not something anyone can speak to (as of yet).

A very smart student has the opportunity to get much farther ahead whereas a poorly crafted education plan and/or an unmotivated student has the potential for negative outcomes.
There's a train of Apple misses. Hindsight is success after success, because we only remember the successful and final versions of products.

> The idea that Western readers can clearly see the draconian overtones of tyranny seems laughable after the last several years.

This is a very confusing statement... Why is it laughable to have an education system that teaches us history and critical thinking to see tyranny, even in our societies? Or now you're also on the boat that Stalin was a nice guy after all?

> And let's not even mention the fact that Marxism, fascism and Nazism have all originated in Europe...

The question that you should be asking is: what originated in Russia? Right? Misery, genocide, poverty...

Ones learn from history to avoid it, while modern Russia seems to draw inspiration from Nazi Germany.

Very confusing comment.

It never stopped.

I'm working on a shim for multiple older consoles that will allow running your own servers... So when Nintendo kills multiplayer, We can reenable it.
What’s weird about this statement is that gamers on platforms like Steam and PS Store already have that confidence. No Steam customer is worried about losing their library. PlayStation gamers see a PS3 store that is still functional and have confidence in buying PS5 games digitally. (Granted, Sony almost disabled purchases on the PS3 store, but came to a good compromise by moving payment processing off of the platform).

It’s only shitty, badly run stores like UPlay and Nintendo’s always-shutting down console-specific stores that make customers lack confidence.
I find this paper kind of "medium" (as the transformers baseline they compare against is glacially slow), but Intel's integration efforts in open source LLM runtimes are real and very interesting. See, for instance, their PRs in llama.cpp, not to speak of all their other open source efforts.
I said in another comment before I read yours: homeschooling, having more outcomes at the extremes, lead to many people to have observational biases (and strong opinions) in both directions.
Presumably a lossless one.

A tradeable carbon rationing is indeed equivalent to a UBI, but with side effects. In particular, if the market is efficient then the consumption of CO2 credits will exactly equal production, but the price will be unrelated to the actual externality cost or mitigation cost of the marginal CO2 release. So you either get more CO2 released than you would with an externality tax or you get less CO2 released than you should given that you can mitigate against that particular CO2 release.

Ideally you'd have credits being available for purchase at prices that correspond to the costs of mitigating their externalities (CO2 emission is not in and of itself evil, its the consequences that we don't want).
There's a little difference between 28 and 32. There's a lot of difference between 78 and 82.

States that don’t require higher degrees often have a wall on the pay scale that’s hit early in one’s career, without a graduate degree.

What’s weird about the market for teaching master’s degrees, at least (idk about PhDs) is that this generates a ton of demand for them, but it makes no difference how good the program is. Teachers don’t care because they don’t really matter that much for improving teaching skill. Schools don’t care—pay bump is the same no matter what.

This has all the effects one might guess on the quality of these programs—almost all are very easy, because nobody involved cares how rigorous they are, and one party would generally prefer they not be very difficult. Whole thing’s a joke, total waste of money and teachers’ time.
I had a similar thought a few years ago when trying to think of "useful" uses of NFTs. It could be great if I could buy music, etc and then play it on any streaming service via some sort of proof-of-right-to-play mechanism.

One annoying feature that Google Flights lacks is including the cost of a checked bag (only supported ex USA or just with domestic US flights, I think)

Kiwi/Kayak has that feature.

But Google Flights is so very quick and easy to use, I almost always use it. It's pretty easy to estimate baggage fees (usually the fare that includes baggage is around +£120 more)

"After enough public backlash we've fixed the problem for this one person. We hope everyone stops bothering us so we can continue to not fix the problem because denying benefits is profitable to us."
Don't forget that the "real" risk and the "legal" risk in states like Russia/China can be very different.

The laws are written in specifically vague verbiage as to be interpreted in favor of state actors by judges whenever they need to be. You may be clear in the letter of the law in your mind, until a charge is brought up against you using another law, etc.

Even standalone games can have operating system and hardware dependencies. Not all of course. A few years ago, I went through a few months when I tried getting back into some older Windows games. They ran--mostly, often with patches--but it was all too flaky and crash-prone to be much fun and I mostly gave up.
Not the person you're replying to, but most ISPs and cellular providers log DNS queries and use that to profile you or resell to data brokers.

If you want to have some fun understanding this better, call up (for example) Verizon and have them send you the data they have on you. It's surprisingly detailed, including timestamped logs of every DNS query (in addition to specific profiling data, like "how likely you are to buy a new phone" or "household income", etc).

Capcom has launched a new website celebrating the company’s 40th anniversary.

June 11 marked 40 years since the company was established, so to mark the occasion the new Capcom Town website was created.

Billed by Capcom as “the ultimate digital tourist destination”, Capcom Town will be updated regularly with new features.

At launch, the site already includes a number of areas, including a Retro Games section, a Museum, a ‘Merch Factory’ where players can download Capcom-themed Twitter icons and pages dedicated to Capcom’s CEO and COO, giving history on the company.

The Museum section features over 500 pieces of artwork, design documents and video and music selections from a number of Capcom series including Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney and Ghosts ‘n Goblins.
Ha. Afaict, most triple-a open world games are built on pretty simple engines, and the great majority of quests fit in a relatively small range of formats. Go to town x, find NPC y, go to landmark z, fight some monsters, get the macguffin, bring it back to y.

The need is then to have a database of everything (done!), build a generator for quest steps, and then place the quest requirements back in the game. This sorry of thing has been possible since, oh, I dunno, 1997: Daggerfall.

The whole trick is keeping it from getting too same-y/boring. Current games handle that by leaning on human writing and character modeling for even the minor quests, though the quality standards on the side quests tend to be low, and they get boring anyway. (Which is why I've still never finished Witcher 3...) Adding AI writing in the mix for side quests is a no brainer.
