> Overall the book touched on a lot of great ideas, but the writing felt like it was the first time the author had written a book. A lot of a storylines were touched upon but never completed.

Personally, I think it's usually better to leave more to the imagination than trying to finish up every plotline. Too many stories meander around endlessly or lose their sense of immersion when the author forces themselves to write a story that's "too complete". I'm a big fan of these type of "time-skip" stories though - 40,000 in Gehenna is one of my favorites, along with Canticle.
This is an interseting idea, but the language is weird... "wake up to a livestream hosted by your friends" -- who the heck wants to "host a livestream" when they're barely awake? My friend are not social media influencers or twitch streamers. Most people are going to feel awkward enough about doing this without making it sound like they're going to be broadcasting to the internet.

Focus on the privacy aspects, make it clear people will only be talking to their friends and emphasis the controls they have to make sure they won't be suddenly on air with some rando they don't know.
This was basically my experience with the recruiter I mentioned in my post. He didn't help much at all beyond establishing the connection between the employer and me. I did my own research, interview preparations, and salary negotiations.

I've been quite unimpressed by IT recruiters overall, but perhaps I should entertain their messages on LinkedIn a bit more than I do, as I tend to just ignore them.

You absolutely could not get it done quicker or with less effort using SDL2. 2D games are deceptively complex beyond trivial examples, and most of your effort would be wasted on poor and ad-hoc reimplemetation of features that an engine already takes care of. If you want to finish a game, use an engine. If you can't finish a game with an engine, you'll never finish one without an engine, because without an engine it's exponentially more difficult.

And the premise that a project within an engine is a "bespoke and unmaintainable hindrance" as opposed to a pile of raw AI generated code is simply laughable. If you're going to use Copilot anyway, why not also use an engine? It's obvious at that point you care less about code and code quality than getting a product finished as quickly as possible.
A taxi doesn't have a lifespan of 8 years, and note that while I don't think that a Waymo car costs anything like $1M, it's also not actually the case that you pay taxi drivers $140k per year.

I see very little to suggest that a Waymo car costs less all-in over the course of about two years than a Prius and an Uber driver does, and that's the much more relevant comparison.

Nothing to say that this couldn't change in the future. But that's my guess for the status quo.
Did you work with Rstudio Server and still found it not collaborative enough?
> Gainmaps "solve" the problem of computing a local tone mapping by declaring that it needs to be done at server side or at image creation time rather than at viewing time.

Which was already the case. A huge amount of phone camera quality is from advanced processing, not sensor improveds. Trying to get that same level of investment in all downstream clients is both unrealistic and significantly harder. A big aspect of why DolbyVision looks better is just Dolby forces everyone to use their tone mapping, and client consistency is critical.

Gainmaps also avoid the proprietary metadata disaster that plaugues HLG/PQ video content.

> If anything you get more banding: two bandings, one banding from each of the two 8-bit fields multiplied together.

The math works out such that you get the equivalent of something like 9 bits of depth but you're also not wasting bits on colors and luminance ranges you aren't using like you are with bt2020 hlg or PQ

My list of “minimal features I need from a text editor” has grown over the years, to include things like multi-caret edit. It’s amazing how something conceptually as simple as “editing text” has grown so powerful and complex over the years.

This one looks good, hopefully the default keybindings match the ones already wired in my brain.
Agreed this is very good and worth listening

Do want to put out there that this is an abridged version (though don't remember anything significant being left out).
How is this any difference with using the sign of the amount column to signify debit or credit? Using that approach at least you save a column. Otherwise have explicit debit and credit columns if you want to be "consistent with how accounting is done".

It’s been more than a few years since I worked in an R shop. While I loved wrangling and plotting data in the tidy verse I did find that the dependency management story in R to be even worse than Python.

> What we found was that R had alot of packages but most haven't been touched in years and when you contact the owner you find they've often moved onto the python/pandas/scikit eco system

As a "bilingual" R & Python user, I've found this to be true for the latter language as well :)

I don't have much to add on top of what other useRs have mentioned, except another testimonial that our company has successfully used R in production for 6+ years, from data "pipeline" stuff you mentioned to dozens upon dozens of predictive models of varying complexities.

When faced with a new data analysis ask, 99%+ of the time I reach for R (although without the tidyverse, that number would be much lower). Like another commenter said, the ease by which you can plot in R blows Python away. Seaborn seems like a decent compromise in my limited experience, but plotting in "base" matplotlib makes me want to die.

Agree with this, I am pretty agnostic to the pandas vs R whatever stuff (I prefer base R to tidyverse, and I like pandas, but realize I am old and probably not in majority based on comments online). But many teams who are "R adherent" folks I talk to are not deploying software in varying environments so much as reporting shops doing ad-hoc analytics.

For those whom want to use both R/python, I have notes on using conda for R environments, https://andrewpwheeler.com/2022/04/08/managing-r-environment....

It's about time they finally acknowledge this as a design bug and make the incompatible fix. In pre-1.22 correct programs, the `i, v := i, v` will mostly already be present and become pointless upon upgrading. Libraries supporting pre-1.22 will still have to write this extra line.

Now we have a new foot-gun, moving working code from a 1.22+ program to a pre-1.22 supporting library can be bugged.

I guess you’re asking about 25% on the assumption that benefits (e.g. equity, health insurance) would be unchanged?
If it's indeed the first, may be they will be given the leeway to set a legal precedent? One can hope.
I generally agree with you. In my experience, the infrastructure engineers are very often the best software engineers. Like there have been half a dozen times in the last year that an infra team at my company has essentially done the architecture design work and high level implementation for a complex system that the dev teams technically owned, but they kept stalling out on.

I think there are at least two reasons for this: the first is that infrastructure engineers (e.g., SREs) just think about reliability and architecture a lot more than SWEs and the second is that the infra eng position generally selects for people who have a penchant for learning new things (virtually every SRE was an SWE who raised their hand to dive into a complex and rapidly evolving infrastructure space).

Also, the best SWEs have been the ones who accepted the reality of infrastructure and learned about it so they could leverage its capabilities in their own systems. And because our org allows infra to leak to SWEs, the corollary is that SWEs are empowered to a high degree to leverage infrastructure features to improve their systems.
> What is the threshold for how far away something is before it's indicated on the ring? If I'm standing just outside that distance, how will I know it's because of distance rather than because I haven't been seen? If the distance is set long, how will I know it sees me and not something behind me?

I feel like this is a non-issue. The LEDs can be a certain size. They could be dimmable so their brightness can be modulated by distance.

All the things you mention are an issue with real drivers too, but we make it work because we can signal and communicate. Give these cars the same functionality and experiment. This isn't an insurmountable issue, but it is one that needs to be addressed that isn't being addressed at all. Throwing up your hands and saying it's too difficult is less than helpful. They're putting these things on the road with people. They have a responsibility to figure this stuff out. Especially if they want to go beyond a handful of cities.

OpenAI Says It 'Categorically Disagrees' with Musk's Suit
You could potentially do the same thing with a class but it'd be really verbose:

Class Age {

private int value = null;

public boolean SetValue(int value) {
if (value >= 0 && value <= 150) {
this.value = value;
return true;
}
return false;
}

public int getValue() {
return this.value;
}

}

That's approximately what the equivalent would look like in any language that supports classes (any errors are because it was typed on my phone). Being able to do that in 1 line would be much more convenient. That's why most programmers working in those languages just define age as an int and move on.
Wow, I really appreciate the reply. As I said in another comment here, I wish tidyverse was big when I was using R.

I was an R user from about 2003-2010.

We didn't have DPlyr at the moment though ggplot2 was coming around about that time I think. That helped alot for easy to develop visualizations.

But in our specific cases, the distributed libraries we used were written in python and integrated well with native python code. Pandas was just coming out around 2010, I think, and I think multi threading was also an issue then, but I can't really remember.

So our issues was partially our infrastructure tooling was going to python, but also we had a far easier time hiring people who were proficient in python and harder to find the same for R.

And once you start writing more code in python it starts to become harder to justify two separate code bases that can do the same thing so the R code got phased out and rewritten in python so we could have a single code base and not have to duplicate functionality in two languages.

Also a slight push for python came from the programmers who thought python represented a better language to know for their careers. Which looking back it does seem like python is used more often these days in general.

So I guess there isn't much you could have done in this case.

And as a side note, thanks for all the work you've done with R!!
Usually when you convert from a non-profit to a for-profit, the non-profit has a third party value its assets then sells them to the new for-profit.

Because you are acquiring assets from yourself, there are some protections, like you can’t have the same people run the non-profit and the new for-profit and the attorney general has to sign off on the transaction, which I believe happened with OpenAI.

Also, the non-profit has to use the funds it received in the acquisition to continue to further its original mission.

My gut is the lawsuit will come down to whether the for-profit paid a fair price, which in retrospect could look suspect given how much OpenAI is valued at now, but the government and a third party likely already approved the transaction long ago.

It may also come down to whether the non-profit used / is using the funds it received in exchange for the assets to continue to serve the public interest per OpenAIs original mission and not the interests of the new for-profit or any associated individuals.

This will be a good test for the legal strategies to convert non-profits to for-profits.
OpenAI, even the name was his suggestion from what I remember reading, wouldn't exist without him - other investors may not have invested either without his money essentially vouching for the organization, and also its primary AI developer likely wouldn't have joined the OpenAI either if it wasn't for AI; who I believe is the one who recently announced they're leaving OpenAI, and I'd speculate they're joining Elon's new AI effort.
Absolutely. I have, in fact, done that for exactly the reason(s) you mentioned in your comment. There's a limited amount of time in my life, which I want to have real control over and spend it with the people that matter to me, and doing the things that matter to me.

Time matters indeed more than money.
>Why bother with laborious programming and traditional modeling and rendering techniques, when AI can generate playable photo realistic worlds in seconds based on prompts by the player itself?

Because art - of which game development is a subset - is a form of creative expression, intended for humans to communicate to other humans. Note that this is a separate dimension to the purely technical aspect of content creation, which AI is increasingly capable of.

AI doesn't create art, it generates product. If your only view of programming is labor to generate product, then yes, maybe you should quit, because it's likely AI will replace you. But if you consider programming, asset creation, design etc as means of creative expression, then AI is unacceptable, because it can only express generalities. None of those games are going to be fun, engaging, thought provoking or expressive. You're never going to get the unique fingerprint of the author. That such games may be technically complete and minimally viable products is besides the point. It's just extruded entertainment product.

Human creative expression being suboptimal and maladaptive in a world where all culture is generated by machines only makes it more necessary.
Being DDoS'd because you joined IRC and didn't read a manual on how to use it so you didn't know all the cool kids have bouncers or that the server may or may not have "cloaks" that you had to opt-in to. Discord is/was definitely a much better nicer experience than this.
This works great, until you have coordinated failures, e.g. due to a firmware bug that's dependent on the uptime of the disk (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32031243).

RAID is only useful as long as you don't suffer more simultaneous disk failures than you've provisioned for (where "simultaneous" is dependent on your time-to-repair, since if it takes you a week to replace a dead drive, then two failures in the same week are indistinguishable from two failures in the same minute, in that you've lost the entire array).

Yes, they use the frequency as a common signal to respond to changes in load, that is correct.

With gps synchronized clocks and high speed waveform measurement we can see the propagation delay in the frequency across the country when there is a big event. Pretty neat!
I worked in the retail end of the film business as a kid, and I've thought about this a bit since I lived through it. I really don't think the modern world has a place for Kodak as an imaging company anymore no matter what they would have done. In the old days, the medium was film and paper. If you wanted to capture an image, it had to be on film, and distributed on film or paper for people to see. Every film in every theater in the world had to be printed on film and then physically handled. It must have been tens of thousands of miles of film just for the average movie. And I'm given to believe that it was a large margin business.

With digital cameras, all that went away; you no longer needed to develop/print things to see them, and it's become a specialized service that you might use to commemorate a special occasion. Every grocery store used to have a lab, but it's been at least a decade since they were taken out in all my local ones. I wonder how many people even own a "camera" anymore? At one point, I carried a film camera everywhere, and then a digital point and shoot, but the iPhone 4 is where I decided that it had crossed a line that the convenience and quality of the built-in camera meant I no longer wanted to carry a specialized device (though the point and shoots of the day where clearly still superior). And the phone cameras today are better still. Now, dedicated cameras are the stuff of hobbyists (I have a few and they are still impressive), but it's a niche thing compared to the world of film and paper.

And so I wonder if those old guys at Kodak had some sense of what it would mean to get rid of film and just tried to hold on for as long as they could.
My point is not just about feature support (hence why I mention arch), though even then a lot of features would likely end up emulated reducing performance . It’s that a lot of the performance difference comes from the difference between a mobile tile based GPU and a desktop one.
And if you’re okay with software emulation of features, then you go back to not being able to compare performance against proton running on like for like hardware. Again, you’re making many leaps of faith to suggest things are suboptimal now and that a different implementation would magically be faster.

How much of the performance delta is the implementation of the translation layer and how much is the GPU arch difference is something you can’t just assume Vulkan would solve for.

And yes I know there’s proton on Android, but it’s far from prolific of performant (which is what I asked about specifically). You conveniently are giving it the benefit of the doubt when it’s much closer to desktop Linux.

You don’t know how much overhead is attributed the x86 to arm translation, on top of the win32 to Darwin, on top of the D3DMetal on top of the GPU arch differences. Yet you’re making very confident claims of how amazingly it could work, while excusing the closet example where it doesn’t work well.
I also suspect people balk at infrastructure because it means learning a new and complicated thing to solve their problem, but the shape of the solution is the same whether they build it in their application as a library or whether they avail themselves of off-the-shelf infrastructure offerings (although there are some problems that can only be solved by infrastructure).

Either way, you have to understand the solution at a high level, and I think much of the balking at infrastructure is really just balking at needing to understand the fundamental nature of their own problem.
Yes, these things mostly happens because people get important details wrong.

It might be bad flashing on the exterior, bad trim details on the interior, or not heating the windows appropriately in the winter, etc.

Seeing these sort of issues as I renovate houses I've owned made me realize the difference between bottom dollar and paying for quality. And also stuff that masquerades as quality but is overpriced junk.
Quantity can give a better grasp on the average user though, which is important in its own way, at least for projects with larger or more general audiences.

For instance if I were the head of browser or desktop environment project I’d want to hear from as wide of an audience as I feasibly can because otherwise there’s almost certainly issues (usability, compatibility, bugs, etc) that I’m not privy to because they aren’t encountered often in small more technical samples of users.
