If I remember correctly, in Rainworld this extremely interesting and cool property ("The world keeps turning when you're gone") was wildly misunderstood and lambasted by games critics. E.g. I think it was a Rock Paper Shotgun reviewer who threw the controller because, he thought, enemies would respawn randomly after he died. Which they didn't: they just kept living their virtual lives and wandering about while _he_ was respawning. In game forums players were also very frustrated with this because they had learn to expect set patrol patterns that they could memorise for the win. A bit of a failure of human generalisation abilities that, if you ask me.

Another game that has this property (and that has somehow escaped the befuddled reviewers' ire) is Don't Starve. e.g. I once got chased by the Deerclops and ran through a Beefalo herd. After a while I realised the Deerclops wasn't hunting me anymore. Next day I went back to the Beefalo herd and there was a huge amount of meat and Beefalo wool, and a Deerclops eye, lying around.

After playing games like that, I play e.g. Hollow Knight, or Zero Dawn, where every enemy you kill comes back the next time you revisit the area and it feels so fake.

I think the burden of proof is usually on the person making the "all X do Y" statement, don't you?
That's not really how it works. It's trained specifically for one track, it doesn't really process the visual information in terms of "the car is off course, correct it". It's more like "when the image looks like this, do this". If you kept the same map but added a bunch of trees off the track it would probably need to be retrained. Assuming I'm right about that, it shows that the "AI" doesn't really look at the track as you might think it does.

It's basically just a fancy brute force algorithm.
>The emperor is walking around naked, and virtually all of academia is terrified to acknowledge it (namely step 5). Right there is the solution to 50 years of sociological fumbling to avoid saying "Intelligence has a strong genetic component, and we are not all born with equal mental capabilities"

Bien-pensants will tell us to the bitter end "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" But they are aware of the truth.

Example: From a 2018 open letter by an eminent geneticist, "How Genetics Is Changing Our Understanding of 'Race'" <https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/23/opinion/sunday/genetics-r...>:

>I am worried that well-meaning people who deny the possibility of substantial biological differences among human populations are digging themselves into an indefensible position, one that will not survive the onslaught of science. I am also worried that whatever discoveries are made — and we truly have no idea yet what they will be — will be cited as “scientific proof” that racist prejudices and agendas have been correct all along, and that those well-meaning people will not understand the science well enough to push back against these claims.
Do you believe that leftist dogmatism and associated deplatforming in the context of universities is equivalent in the application of real world harm to reactionary dogmatism and "deplatforming" in the context of a nation?

I would be surprised if you're suggesting equivalence between a usually quite well off and at least somewhat famous speaker being shouted at from a few people in a crowd (who are usually quickly escorted out by cops), to, for example, women in Texas wondering if it's safe to leave the state to get an abortion, or, a teacher in Florida having to hide a photo of his husband he usually keeps on his desk for fear of losing his job (or even facing criminal charges as a "groomer").
Švejk is what I call a "scalable" book. It works for readers of almost any level. The first time I read it I was maybe 8 years old and had a lot of fun, even though I completely missed most of the nuance.
Why would sociopath think that being sociopath is bad or wrong? They could very well think that it is what makes them better than others. If they lack remorse they can admit that they are sociopaths without any remorse or regret.
Also, water is constantly trying to leak out of whatever you put it in.
Nice! I’ll have to play with it a bit!

Sigh, I was quite excited to see the embedded stuff with that but then discovered that you need a commercial license and pay royalties to use it in a non-GPL3 embedded device. But that’s the same story as Qt so it’s not all that unusual.
The city is "sleepy" around that time, true, and many stores close around that time and open again later.

But I only know a handful of people who actually take naps here in the afternoon. Sometimes yeah, but if you work in a typical office/startup, you can probably count the people who take a nap after lunch on one hand.

If that water has to come from underground, yes, it would be cheaper and easier to just grab surface stone and crush it for material to make a heat battery.

Also, water tends to make for a horrible heat battery as it is much more thermal-emissivity than rock particles. You need all sorts of additional insulation to retain the heat, whereas the sand will insulate itself.
I don't really see how one leads to another, could you elaborate? Looking at these protocols, it seems to me that later versions of HTTP attempt to address errors resulting from the overly simplistic design of HTTP/1.1.
Show HN: WebAssembly Instrumentation in the Wizard Research Engine
Hello all,

I've been working on research tools for Wasm for some time now, and just today we put up the pre-print for our newest paper "Flexible Non-intrusive Dynamic Instrumentation for WebAssembly" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07973), which will appear in ASPLOS 2024. Two previous papers, one about Wizard's interpreter (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3563311) and one about the JIT (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13241) have been discussed on HN before.

This new paper explains what Wizard is really about: dynamic instrumentation of Wasm programs, without modifying the program or its behavior. Wizard can do this with a flexible callback API (probes) that are supported, and indeed optimized, in all of Wizard's execution tiers.

We'd be interested in more feedback, more people kicking the tires, and ideas for more dynamic analyses that can be built through its APIs. It's pretty easy to write a new monitor that instruments and studies programs; this is what we expect people will want to do very often. And of course we'd welcome contributions of useful monitors back to Wizard's repo.

(This post is also part apology in that I suck at marketing and documentation--I'm deep in compilers most of the time!).
"do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is good advice and a rational strategy without emotion or empathy.

The practical problem is figuring out that "others would have" something different than you would like, because they're emotional and irrational (as far as you can tell).
I'm not really a political partisan, what I'm attempting to ask is if this is a real problem affecting genuine academics and others or if it's just people like Milo (grifter) being mad they can't run their grifts on campuses anymore
So (if I understand correctly):

It minimizes the software stack (and with that: attack surface) that application sits on, inside a VM.

It does not (nor is it expected to) help to minimize said application.

And it does not minimize the software stack that runs the VM.

I’ve barely been getting any interviews for the NYC market. When I do, they have weird processes too. I haven’t done a single leetcode interview yet and it’s mind boggling because that’s what I’ve been prepping for this entire time.

That said, I’ve run out of places to interview. The market is insanely dry for nyc and I’m worried I’ll have to move back to SF to get hired.
It's ironic to conclude this, without skepticism, knowing that it's a study sponsored by College Board which shows that the tests which College Board administers are definitely efficacious.

I'm just driven mad by how people thinking physical objects with specific properties is "magic", but reducing reality down to abstract platonic mathematical forms is "science".

This is the opposite.

Gold isnt lead. Lead isnt wood. Cells are not bits of metal. Bits of metal do not polymerise. Bits of sand do not form weak covalent bonds...

It's kinda exhausting that this mathematical superstition is so prevalent in people who otherwise believe they are somehow anti magical thinking.

There is no more magical thinking in supposing that you can ignore reality, describe it in a formula, reinterpet that formula against some other reality, and it'll all work out.

As if, "2 + 2 = 4" means the same thing when it's "2 drivers + 2 drivers = 4 deaths" vs. "2 cookies + 2 cookies = 4 happy children"

The idea that reality is essentially mathematical and not essentially physical is pythagorean magical thinking. Science says the opposite.

All the mathematics in explanatory scientific laws are just paraphrases of descriptions of the physical properties of systems. None of it is actually mathematics.

Physics does not study "2". It studies there being earth and the sun and a force between them, summarised as "2 masses" etc.
I ate nothing but steaks for a few days (with a bit of butter) and was surprised to find that I did not get tired after a meal, nor hungry again for much longer.
I would hypothesize that SES probably correlates very heavily with grades at the very bottom where you have things like abuse, abject poverty, children supporting their own parents, lack of access to quality nutrition, violence inside and outside the home, etc and even a genius would be swimming against the current. But middle class and above, I would expect the curve to flatten out. In my experience super wealthy people are more lucky than clever- it doesn’t take much brains to make more money when you’re already rich.

So, the goal here should be to identify smart kids in terrible situations, while not allowing rich kids who aren’t actually that talented to game the system. That’s the goal. And of course there will also be genuinely talented middle class kids and you don’t want to ignore them either.
Rather than single out and ban Tiktok, we should instead mandate any application mass collecting data be open sourced, so anyone technical can verify any claims about security and privacy for themselves.

It will never happen, but it would solve the problem.

I don't know why your definition is _the_ definition. A sociopath can be self aware.
Saying they aren't constructive and muddy the water implies there's some clear shared goals / values and an understanding of acceptable paths towards those goals / values.

Isn't part of the point of controversial speakers that they're challenging that our goals and values are fully shared?

It sounds like the speech is being judged before it's given.

Maybe for speakers who have explicitly called for violence, this would be appropriate, but my guess is nearly zero of the speakers deplatformed were actually calling for violence.

> My suggestion: if a single week of overtime will help you meet a critical deadline, and you can promise your team it’ll be an extremely rare occurrence (like, once a year, at most), consider asking for overtime. Otherwise, just take your lumps and accept the late project.

I am of the strong opinion that there are very few projects where the benefits of a couple more hours of work out of your employees a day is worth the cost on morale.

Project gets out tomorrow versus a month from now? Will anyone still care two years from now? No? Wasn’t worth it.

The human propensity for screaming “I want it now!” about things that don’t really matter never fails to frustrate me.

And please don’t get me wrong. There are certainly cases where people’s jobs or the entire company hang in the balance. That is a legitimate reason for overtime. There’s also cases like the UI redesigns with no effect on the bottom line the last time I had to work overtime - and in my experience anyway this is way more common.
The lawsuit has already started on the door incident, and his testimony even if he was alive isn't relevant. The door was a process problem + screw-up, 2016 parts was potentially criminally illegal (and on purpose). Plus in civil court, where the standards are lower, they could bring in his interviews to the FAA/BBC anyway (they won't, because relevance).

I feel like a bunch of people online have irrationally decided these two things are directly connected, and are now massaging the facts to meet that narrative. Aside from Boeing, there isn't a lot of reason to connect these two things. But people want to ignore the facts to make this sound like a sexy movie script.

Two things happened. They happened around the same time. Even if he was alive today, it is unlikely the two would intersect outside of [bad] Boeing PR.
> There is the language for one thing.

What's that?
You should really beware of referring to these things as absolutes. Everyone is different and there are a wide range of physiologies out there.

Personally, the bigger breakfast I have, the faster and more hungry I get around lunch. If I eat a big breakfast I’ll be ravenous by lunch. The only negative symptoms I experience after lunch happen if I eat a huge lunch.

Children usually do not take siesta. Most adults that work can't take it too.

As a kid, I had one hour and a half in total in two breaks. Children need to play and exercise. Without it children are hyperactive between 4 walls.
I think you told your experience based on the "spreadsheets are all you need" title. I don't know if you know this, but it's a play on the "Attention Is All You Need" 2017 paper by Google which introduces transformers, the building block of LLMs.

We are doing this and it works pretty great across a bunch of microservices.

A user makes a call into a gateway, which talks to the identity service to get a JWT with info about who the user is. Now the gateway passes the call on to the microservice being referenced and it gets the users basic access info with no extra calls, and better it can call any other internal service and continue to pass along the token.

Right, admitting you behave a certain way isn't the same as "admitting you are wrong". Hell it is a useful tool for either fitting in or when you get in trouble.

The biggest thing you seem to miss, is that being a sociopath is a lack of intuition and instincts, not what choices they make. Our entire society and economic structure is about convincing sociopaths to contribute despite the disability.
It's partly a different issue.

In the first one, you have someone registered at your house despite not living there. Getting notified about it doesn't solve it though. You still have to report it as a crime and then they will investigate before fixing it. Due to all the bombings, they implemented a speed track a few years ago when gang members are involved (so they don't blow up your house during the process) but I still believe it takes months to solve.

In your case, you have physical squatters. Then you need to take it to court and prove that they shouldn't have access to your house. It takes many months to sort out and they can claim that they have an agreement with you. This was major news in Sweden about 5-8 years ago when waves of EU beggars were making camps on people's land that cost a ton of money to clean up afterwards.
HTTP/1.1 (RFC2616) specified a limit of two connections per server, which most browsers initially interpreted to mean per-origin, which still lead to quite a lot of unnecessary blocking. I think browsers eventually decided to increase that to 6, but as evidenced by viewing the "Network" tab of the Developer Tools on a lot of modern pages, it is in fact not very uncommon anymore to have a substantially larger number of resources per origin.

While it's true that HTTP/2 can be worse than HTTP/1.1, I don't think it usually is; it's pretty easy to demonstrate just how much better HTTP/2 is over a typical Internet connection. SPDY and HTTP/2 were clearly better and rarely worse, whereas HTTP/3 is almost never worse (maybe when interplay with TCP rate control is poor?) On very unreliable and very high latency connections it can definitely go the other way, but statistically my experience is that a large majority of cases see an improvement on plain-old HTTP/2.

That said, for all of the complexity HTTP/2 adds, it is kind of a nice protocol. I like that all of the "special" parts of the HTTP/1.1 request and response were just turned into header fields. HPACK is a minor pain in the ass, but it is pretty efficient. You get multiple concurrent bidirectional streams per connection and they can each send headers/trailers. There's even the MASQUE protocol, which enables unreliable datagrams with HTTP/3. Put together this makes HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 amazingly versatile protocols that you can really use for all kinds of shit, which makes sense given the legacy of HTTP/1.1.

There are some pitfalls even still. For example, all of this added complexity has made life a bit harder for load balancing and middleboxes. TCP level load balancing or round robin is basically defeated by using HTTP/2 multiplexing, without the client being explicitly cautious of this.
Just observing trends I see around messaging, reddit conversations, twitter and policy...this appears to be by design.

I can't begin to imagine the games that billionaires and other various cabals play in influencing policy over the years, but from my own observation it seems to be intentional.

EDIT: Since this is generating some conversation, I'll add more detail. The article is actually quite good at explaining a lot of the details.

My own observations over the last 20 years, I've seen what appears to be consorted interest in breaking up institutions that bring communities together.

Public schools are a big one as there are enough differences of opinion on policy, rules, funding approaches, discipline, levels of control from the school itself, to parents, to school boards, to state governments, to the department of education. Public schools used to be a point of pride for communities and currently they are a point of conflict.

Churches are another where people in a community would actively come together to learn to be better people, serve their community and serve each other with a higher cause. They also created wonderful environments for youth activities outside of school. Attacks on church communities have been fairly relentless online doing as much as possible to influence people away from them. Legislatures even got in on the action during Covid too.[3]

The concussion scare amplification around football in particular in the US did a ton of damage to the sport, despite women's soccer actually being the most dangerous sport for concussions.[1] This had an outsized effect on participation in youth football, which does more to positively influence young men and communities in general than any other sport in the US due to the diversity of participants, body types, different position jobs, roles and the need for everyone to work together as a unit to find success. Some advocates is even trying to ban it outright in California, but the governor shot it down.[2] High school football coaches are also put in great positions to act as both coaches, counselors and father figures for many young men who do not have them. The roster sizes of football teams go a long way towards making this one of the US's greatest community institutions.

This continues at the college level until recently and we just saw the greatest coach in the history of the sport, Nick Saban, retire and speak at the capital about why. He used to be able to help prepare young men for success in life. Now all anybody cares about is money.

There's more of course, but it's a seemingly intentional trend where the pattern that I see is institutions that bring communities together being attacked or turned into something divisive.
