> the mechanics are certainly random in the sense that they involve dice rolls.

Sorry, but that's still not what I've meant.

Dice rolls are randomness in the usual meaning of this word. But "random" can also mean "arbitrary" and/or "illogical" things. Imho Nethack mechanics are also random in this sense. They don't make sense at all… :-)

> Even moderately experienced players will fail close to 100% of the time. So getting to an almost 50% success rate, to my mind, shows a great deal of skill!

OK, you have definitely a point here.

Still not my cup of tea, such games. (And this is strictly personal, and unrelated to the rest of the discussion). I just don't like games where it's very likely that I will loose despite "doing everything right". I have no problem with games punishing merciless even small mistakes. That's OK. But having an outcome that depends mostly on the whim of the RNG is just nothing I enjoy. When I "do everything right" I like to get rewarded appropriately for it. (Of course some level of randomness is still OK. But if the RNG kills you most of the time no mater what you do this is just too frustrating for me. So I'm clearly not the target audience for Nethack… :-D).

> I don't think this is true any more for modern AIs such as AlphaGo and its predecessors, which learn distributions of possible outcomes rather than deterministic predictions.

Sure. But how do you learn from a distribution where no matter what you do you will fail in, say, 99,9% of the cases?

> IIRC the latest versions can even self-play games like Poker to a superhuman level.

Do you have some links regarding this? I thought Poker is still one of the games where AIs don't play better than humans. OK, maybe it depends on the Poker variant. There are simpler and more difficult ones.

> If there is any systematic deviation from pure randomness, enough data will reveal it!

I would agree in general.

But now we're back to the initial question: Is there enough systematic deviation from pure randomness in Nethack? Given that even people who know all the mechanics, and know some good end-to-end strategies will fail in most cases (actually, like you said, in almost all cases). And given that it's (imho) impossible to come up with this knowledge about mechanics and strategy just by playing this game. I have my doubts.

Why is this so?
The point of the user's custom setting is that you don't need to scale with it. The user's custom setting is the font size they want! That's why they set it.

If the user wants a different root font size, they'll set it themselves.
Thanks! I never knew that aspect of the Sokal story. Not surprised it's not repeated since it makes the story less entrancing.
Some sign that it's more than autocomplete would be nice, maybe the ability to perform some kind of logical reasoning.

An 'official' community space is a blessing, I think Zig took the wrong direction here,

I can understand why project maintainers don't want to carry the burden of gardening a space, but Zig is not doing itself any favors here. Instead, I would suggest maintainers to open a "vacancy" for an accessible and privacy friendly space, and if it fits the criteria, bless it. Or just start one yourself and hand it over.

Why? From a quick glance, most of the Zig communities are on discord. That means all folks that value privacy would not participate. And even if you are ok to lose out on that demographic, you still have a highly fractured information space. Although in the case of discord, "information space" is too generous. "Information black hole" is a more apt term, because none of it gets indexed by search engines. One cannot do without a bit of leadership to make a project successful.

I wonder at what point we stop calling them "spreadsheets" though.

You mention Excel, and a bunch of us do it Google Sheets, but at this point it's not about sheets of data anymore and more about the interface and runtime, and we have full applications running in it.

I remember a colleague running API tests inside his Excel sheet to more easily check for the different parameter combinations, but telling everyone he was still using Postman just to avoid discussing it.
>In the diagram below, request 2 cannot be sent until response 1 arrives, considering that only one TCP connection is used.

That's wrong, request 2 can be sent before response 1 arrives. Blocking is inability to receive response 2 until response 1 arrives. With HTTP/2 responses can be unordered.

I wonder how much of the computer advantage is due to actual intelligence vs superhuman frequency of actions and sensitivity of perception.

A human cannot tell if the car is one-pixel screwed but AI can correct it. As the round track is unstable equilibrium on top, having sensitive perception gives great advantage. Same with high frequency of correction and control.
Different stores can have different rules and moderation.

I'm not going to argue about the signal to noise ratio between e.g. fdroid vs Google Play, but it should be obvious that while the signal looks the same for both, the noise is very different, with fdroid having outdated, "developer UI" apps as noise and Google Play having fraudulent scams and malware as noise.

That brings back memories... I always wondered where they disappeared to.
Awesome and very simple. There is a small community of eco housing that uses this system, in Boekel. They use solar panels in summer to heat the battery which lasts all winter.

On a diy scale, there is also this system for passive greenhouse called a climate battery which uses the same principle, storing heat underground and using it in winter. With almost zero energy we can use it to grow bananas in a greenhouse in the Netherlands.
Huh, interesting. I've been using a clamped version of 1.5vw + 1vh for landscape and 1vw + 1vh for portrait, and then scaling everything else by rem for consistency. Might give this a try though.
That in itself might mean, that a table is not the right way in this case.

Sorry it was a sloppily-written comment in which I mixed up some things but the main point stands.

The video I posted has a detailed explanation by someone vastly more qualified than either of us.

> easy to imagine

People can make up their own minds.

Why the disparaging comment? After my own health concerns, I stumbled upon this information, and I can tell you, again, that I have seen people have success with a metabolically-oriented approach which involves lowering glucose exposure (principally but not solely), that's not saying just saying "do keto", and in fact some of the people that have done this (see https://braintumourresearch.org/blogs/in-hope/andrew-scarbor...) have done much more than that. And often it's because there was NO other option.
> sometimes it's non-trivial (and possibly NDA violating) to describe why the recommended solution isn't feasible.

It's not just NDAs. A lot of times people are constrained in what they can do for a reason they're not inclined to admit. This is extremely common with office politics or any kind of corruption.

The boss demands X because Y would mean not getting kickbacks from a particular vendor, but she can't tell you this so she has to make up some hogwash. Now you have to go ask someone how to do X, and you know the boss's justification is ridiculous but you also know that you can't list "because the boss has issued a rattlebrained mandate" as the reason in a written communication with your name attached to it, so you have to submit the hogwash as the reason or make up your own.

Then the person answering the question points out that the proffered reason for doing it is absurd, which everybody already knows, but nobody can admit it.

In large organizations this kind of thing happens so often that people become conditioned to not even question it and just follow orders, and then it happens even when there isn't a hidden underlying reason, because there is now a culture of not questioning stupid decisions.

Satellite networks are not a good example. Regular HTTP/1.1, paired with a PEP, outperforms HTTP/3 by an order of magnitude.
> The US definition of "derivative work" is quite broad, and seems to cover linking just fine.

the problem is the GPL view seems doubtful and has not only bad implications for software copyright but copyright of... well literally anything else. I mean, remember what linking actually is (especially dynamic linking), you're basically just making references to certain things.

the analogy that I can best describe is this: if you're writing a paper on something whatever, and you link to a page number of a book, that doesn't make your paper a derivative work of that thing per se.

if I say in the middle of my novel new text on foobars and fozzinators, hey "book A page 32" has instructions for how to confabulate your fozzinator or "book B page 42" has the values needed to valienate your foobaz, referring to those things in general makes no sense to consider this originally authored book a derivative of A, B, or A and B.

or for a more concrete example, saying Microsoft should be the final authority on who can interoperate with their products or saying that the people who publish research are automatically derivative works of other peoples research[1] papers or people who write articles can't even REFER to other articles in such a way.

[1]: research itself may come from derivative ideas of course, but I'm talking about the copyrightable elements here; i.e. not the facts necessarily presented within, but rather how such facts are presented and laid out. copyright does not cover facts (true or false[2]), but your presentation of such facts are.

font size needs to scale because font size can also affect contrast, unless the user is setting custom font size per site it will not be adequate for the user to set the custom font size for all potential situations.
I agree, this video would have benefitted from a clean repost with the correct title.
Yes, I'd be interested to see how it compares if it's limited to input frequency more similar to a human and then run that second test against Wirtual.

I think though, that the main reason that it's almost always beating humans is that it is able to do the run thousands of times, something that a human will not have actual time to do. It also doesn't have that human element of worry or "if I fall now, it will be a wasted run" feeling so it can just commit to everything. If a human player was able to devote that much time to it and not care about any particular run, I feel like humans could still win that second map.

Are you saying that it's possible for an SQL server to allow to successfully commit a transaction where you modify a record, and then in a subsequent query, return the old value of that record? I very much doubt this is true of any single-node SQL database.

You're trying to paint it as something cooky. I asked Claude 3 Opus:

> Metabolic therapy for cancer is an approach that aims to exploit the differences in metabolism between cancer cells and normal cells. The idea is to target the unique metabolic vulnerabilities of cancer cells to slow down their growth or cause their death. While there has been some promising preclinical research, the efficacy of metabolic therapies in human cancer patients is still an area of active investigation.

> Some key points about the efficacy of metabolic therapy for cancer:

> Ketogenic diet: High-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets have been proposed as a way to starve cancer cells of glucose, their primary fuel source. Some animal studies and small human trials have shown potential benefits, but larger, well-controlled clinical trials are needed to establish efficacy.
> Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT): IPT involves administering insulin alongside low-dose chemotherapy, with the idea that insulin makes cancer cells more susceptible to the effects of chemotherapy. While some case reports and small studies have suggested benefits, the efficacy of IPT remains unproven.
> Targeting metabolic enzymes: Researchers are investigating drugs that inhibit enzymes involved in cancer cell metabolism, such as glutaminase and pyruvate kinase M2. While some of these agents have shown promise in preclinical studies, their efficacy in human patients is still being evaluated in clinical trials.
> Combination with other therapies: Metabolic therapies may be most effective when combined with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. More research is needed to identify the most promising combinations and to assess their efficacy and safety.
I did not mention safety because the reasoning for the relevant authorities to set the policies they have was irrelevant to my point.

You're arguing against a strawman of your own making. I addressed your point about incentives, and nothing else: The incentives here are exactly as the relevant authorities want them to be.

You're free to disagree that is not how they should be, but that is an entirely separate discussion.

That's way too dismissive. It's still assuming XY, but taking a different route to handle it.

That happened in Europe from the 60's. A lot of people replaced Christianism with Horoscopes, which is a similar irrational bullshit to feel yourself better. Or buying lottery tickets depending on where they bought it, as if the place were magical or so.
That's my point. Imho it's impossible to even come close to a realistic chance to beat this game without knowing more or less every detail of its internal mechanics. And you can't infer this knowledge just from playing. You need to look it up from some out-of-band source.

So only letting an AI play this game will not reveal anything about the "reasoning" capabilities of said AI.

Letting the AI read the source (or some other "spoilers") and than look at how it performs playing would be maybe a usable test. But that's still a big "Maybe" imho as Nethack is just "too random" I think.
Writing for yourself is also an escape. If you're having trouble deciding the level at which you want to write, for which audience, you can just decide to explain things for yourself instead, so you understand better.

Some of your readers will have a background similar to yours, so they will understand. Others won't and they might tell you about it. Then, you can decide whether to incorporate their feedback and adjust your explanation.

I've started using this, because I have trouble deciding how much context to include and it has made it easier to write.
No, but a lot of money was left on the table. That's always a little surprising.

What's surprising to me is that SXSW thought getting sponsorship from companies whose products have killed over 30,000 Palestinians in a matter of months was a smart and cool thing to do.

To then have the additional hubris of trying to legally intimidate critics with farcical threats is actually a little surprising too. Like, dig up, dipshits.

The controllers are authenticated on modern consoles and have been for a long time. So by interface you'd have to mean like, a robotic hand.

And if that ever becomes a real problem they add a 3D camera to the controller or require it to be positioned below the screen, and use ML to decide if there's a human in front of the machine or not. AI cuts both ways. Integrated hardware devices aren't necessarily easy to just cut into. That's why it's hard to mod consoles to begin with.

Although not exactly ultra-wide, on my 27" screen, the font-size with maximised window (2500px horizontally) would compute to ~22px for the submitted website. While that’s noticeable bigger compared to a narrow view port, I’m not sure that would qualify as “very large”. To me, it looks alright.

The main container’s width on their website also doesn’t scale infinitely, so on a very wide screen you’d have a lot of blank space on both sides.

That being said, it might still be reasonable to set a break point (or use CSS clamps) and prevent further font-size growth beyond a certain point.
