> Grand Theft Auto V is a 100GB install on my computer, but it runs at a buttery smooth framerate on modest hardware.

I mean you're not wrong that install size != slow performance, but GTA5 is a funny example for being the game that had 6 minute loading screens to start online mode until someone reverse engineered it and found it was mostly from parsing a giant 10MB JSON blob, and reduced the loading time by 70% with a small patch.

Very possible the bad priorities lead to both the ginormous install size and the fact that no one internal was tasked with fixing the load times.
now how to make this collaborative? that would be interesting

Congratulations on an interesting project. There is a lost opportunity with your natural language only approach. The issue is natural language will never be efficient as an interface. Natural language helps with low domain knowledge. That's the plus side as it allows the end user to say a variety of phrases to get the desired result. Commands allow for surgical precision and efficiency/less voice strain for its end user. So there needs to be an approach that allows for both elements natural language and commands. As users develop their own process and workflow they will create actions as commands. (high domain knowledge)

Since these commands are self created by the end user they remember them for their specific purposes. These often are high frequency of use commands where low use would still leverage large language model. You have an opportunity here to leverage this workflow. Being able to create commands with large language model is not something many projects have explored.
That efficiency has huge externalities and I hope it will not be replicated globally.
Did you even read what they said? Your fantasy is debunked by the post itself. It's also debunked by reality, but oh well
This was also a major concern around the construction of the Golden Gate bridge; that during a time of war an enemy could have destroyed it to trap a large portion of the Navy's Pacific Fleet in the bay.
This is a really clever idea, and worked great on mobile as well. Is there a way to choose to display the code window underneath the documentation instead of on top?
Thanks for checking it out!

This is really good feedback, I'll try to address some of these tonight.

I've added name and description because I made a feature where you could create an account to save your work. During development, I got tired of having to constantly recreate test scenarios, so I integrated AWS cognito and started saving compositions.

Latin is hardcoded. To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to do there. The latin template really just bootstraps the UI to save some time and act as a demo. My plan is to make 3-5 premade compositions for each major genre, and have the create flow let you pick between them.

On making changes impacting the UI, this is something that I'm still really struggling to find a balance between. I'll prioritize this higher based on what you've said!

No part of that comment made sense. I don't think the problem was that multiple comments merged.

I think PowerVR was a good choice even at the time.

In my teens, my older brother worked at a computer shop and back then was a hardware geek, and a Matrox M3D, and frankly compared to something like a Rush or Riva 128 the M3D was pretty good outside of some blending moire. That I'm talking about visual vs perf says something... and Dreamcast got the version AFTER that...

The biggest thing was their Tile based deferred rendering, which made it easy to create an efficient GPU with a relatively low transistor count.

Also, 3dfx pattern of 'chip per function', aside from it's future scaling issues, would have been a higher BOM.

All of that said, ever wonder what the video game scene, or NVidia would be like today, if the latter didn't derp out on their shot at the Dreamcast in an SEC filing, which caused them to be relegated to the video chip for the Pico?
The current generation of generative AI models is quire far from perfect. They'll need more and more data. For bigger models, for models which are targeting specific areas, etc.

I've wondered this myself. I've tried a class similar to yours, where you were provided with binaries and tried to find the bugs in them. And it was hard.

But when you consider that major bugs found now are being found by well funded teams or state actors trying to exploit them, it makes more sense that they would be able to work around existing mitigations due to the sheer manpower and resources they have to throw at the problem.

> So should I be extradited to Saudi Arabia, given that the act happened on a computer system with-in Saudi Arabia?

IANAL: AIUI, extradition generally only occurs if the (alleged) action is a crime in both jurisdiction.

> If Country A has no laws against blasphemy, for example, a lack of double criminality could prevent a suspect from being extradited from Country A to face blasphemy charges in another country, i.e. no outbound extradition from Country A, and neither are citizens of Country A eligible for international prisoner transfers from another country having criminally convicted them for blasphemy, i.e. no inbound prisoner transfer to Country A.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_criminality

Blasphemy (against the Quran) is not a crime in (e.g.) the US, so generally you could not be extradited from there for it. Also, there is no the treaty:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia–United_States_rel...

Whereas (say) unauthorized computer access is a crime in many places, and so it could be a mutual-crime eligible for extradition.

Of course if you live in Country A and are charged in Country B which has no treaty with A, you could potentially (IANAL) be arrested in Country C—which does have a treaty with B—if you were travelling there.

I don't think any technology ever really "dies" CVS included. There are shops using perforce (a proprietary centralized version control system) as their SCM.

It is true CVS is less popular in open source, but I think that has more to do with code hosting providers either not supporting it or dropping support (BitBucket dropped support some years back).

While this is an entirely "in retrospect this would have been the best plan!". The youtube channel Video games esoterica had an interesting idea on an alternatives path Sega could have taken.

Namely, lean in hard on 32X for about a year or two to try and slow demand for Ps1 with cheaper hardware. Release the Neptune (Genesis with inbuilt 32x). They then take up Panasonics deal and use the M2 platform to be the Saturn. Release that in 1997 with specs far beyond Ps1/N64.

Neat idea but this is all just fantasy stuff at this point.
> Custom fonts are often a mistake for any language, especially google fonts often look wrong.

Be that as it may, the overwhelming majority of unicode fonts are dramatically wrong for Japanese and not dramatically wrong for other languages.

> Due to this browsers often have an option to force usage of system fonts and set minimum size to improve readability.

Such options are shrinking IME. E.g. Electron is built on browser internals, but does it offer that option?
Landlubbers are accustomed to momentum (p = mv) behaving in a certain way instinctively from years of experience, where the heavier something is, the more frictional force against it from the ground, and therefore the mass behaves a certain way. This breaks down once the expected friction changes a lot, e.g. trying to stop a moving car or, like you said, a boat in water. I'd imagine it's the same thing in space, where a slowly-moving but massive object would surprise someone at their inability to stop it.

> Maybe there's some lighter weight interventions we could do that would further halve the risk of something like this happening that are less costly than fully redundant engine and drive.

Redundancy doesn't inherently have to cost a lot more. For example, if you have three engines driving three props, they can each be 1/3 as large, and not necessarily weigh much more if at all. But then if you lose one, you lose 1/3 power rather than experiencing total loss of control.

> I'm in no rush to show Zuck my passport

I agree, but I think your problem isn't Zuck, it's with passports.

Government issued licences aren't fit for purpose any more. They were when all you did with your paper drivers licence is show it to the police, but now they've become a form of ID you show man+dog who gets to scrape a whole pile of into from it that can be used to track you. For example, they can follow your passport number or drivers licence to connect a series of what should look like unrelated transactions.

As an example, now when a car rental company wants to know you have a valid licence they demand a copy of it. If you have an accident they use the copy to prove they verified you are licenced to drive, if you do something illegal they can hand over your ID so the police can chase you down. FIDO / WebAuthn / PassKey shows how those things can be achieved without leaking all the information on the licence. It can hand over a one time token saying you have a valid licence and signed by something that chains back to a public key held by the government. The token reveals nothing more than that to the car hire firm, but should they hand it over to the police they can decrypt it to identify you.

These tokens are useless if stolen. They can't link you to other transactions and don't identify you in any way, and yet are far more secure than a bunch of unsigned pixels. In other words unlike a copy of a passport, mostly harmless.

> Strange criticism. Can you name a setting in Microsoft Office that you are finding yourself modifying through Remote Powershell that is available in another means in Google Workspace, Zoho, or Zoom's mail capability?

Not OP, but I think they were likely referring to the admin side of things. There are definitely functions in Microsoft 365/Exchange Online that cannot be done through the web UI and require either a powershell module or just connecting to their Graph API.

For small business email (non-tech company, no internal IT and/or not big enough for an MSP), M365/exchange online can be difficult to set up securely and properly. Microsoft security defaults have gone a long way to help here, but it's still beyond the average person.

I definitely see room in the market for for something simpler than both Exchange (online) and Google Workspace for companies small enough to not have/need internal IT or an MSP

Then where does the $108 billion of exports come from? Even at 7% against 1 trillion gdp the math just doesn't make any sense to me if there’s that much in export.

Is most of the export capital just going towards importing fertilizer so it’s not counted towards GDP or something?

Oh I didn’t know it was patched in hardware.

I knew it was per game whether the software actually used the windows CE stuff. I’m really not sure it was ever used much at all. I know the first version of Sega rally used it but it performed so poorly they had an updated version that didn’t that they put out later to fix the issues. And I’m not sure the bad version even came to the states.

That was nicely put - thank you Dang. I couldn't agree more with what you are writing. I always tell myself if I want to solve a problem it should primarily be a problem I face myself. The question becomes what problems do I need solved? Life as a 23 year old university student is so convenient already.

Potential minor problems I would want solved:
1. When I have very interesting discussions with someone I wish I had it recorded so I could post/share it online. I am thinking just daily stuff without having to sit in a room together and do a podcast. This can KINDA be solved by livestreaming nonstop but that's far from ideal and does not have mass appeal.

2. A more modern way of finding jobs - I really believe there's a lot of improvements to be made here esp in Denmark. We use Jobindex, LinkedIn and Jobteaser primarily and all services seem ineffective. Probably just a university student problem. Regardless, it does not sound like an interesting problem to solve like the other ones I mentioned above.

3. Speeddating. I don't struggle with going on dates or picking up girls IRL but it would be more fun if you could just click "QUEUE" on your phone and it automatically sets up a blind date - maybe this actually exists already? Sounds so fun.

This is a decent point, but practically the platform uses some library in their ancient ASP application. The issue is that these types of things can't be fixed because the original author is gone and the tech debt has become unmanageable. This is not the only issue we've had, unfortunately.

re #1: Yeah, bad apples will be bad apples, but that doesn't stop us from hiring people to build us airplanes and run aerospace companies. Right now we are assuming that humans are so angelic they will give us quality reviews for free.

re#2: Under my proposal, an researchers in an independent lab would have to read a paper to see how to design and conduct an experiment to replicate the results. And if it didn't reproduce, they don't get their paper published.

Given the stakes, don't you think researchers would exert every effort to make their paper as transparent and as easy-to-read, as possible? How carefully would they describe their experiment if they knew somebody was going to take their description and use it to check their work?

Re #3: Yeah, but again that's not a problem specific to my proposal. The same risk hangs over every employer-employee relationship.

It wasn't very common for samurai to commit seppuku voluntarily. More frequently it was "you do this or else...". There are some examples where it happened, but not enough to consider it standard practice or "code".

Putting enemies to the sword, one way or the other, was also common in Europe. The difference is that Christianity frowned upon suicide (either voluntary or forced).

Samurai defeated in battle ran away to fight another day, like most humans.

"Bushido" is supposed to be more than seppuku anyway. This notion of the samurai as someone extremely loyal and honor-bound to follow his lord or commit suicide otherwise is a fiction.

Like I said, Japan did some nation-building on top of this myth, but it was mostly a development of writers who lived past the Sengoku, when samurai were no longer warriors.

Think of bushido as Arthurian lore: it's fiction, and people of several times updated it and added to it, and built a mythos around it. Even the katana as the "soul of the samurai" is a later day fiction; samurai during the Sengoku prized katanas (or their predecesors, actually) but they didn't particularly use them except as sidearms; it was the spear and the bow that were the "true" samurai weapons; the daisho was only codified as the "samurai symbol" once the warring period had mostly ended. It's also an invention...

Meanwhile, the real samurai were warriors and did what warriors of every culture did: war among each other, kill things, and amass fortune when they could.
It's not easy. I know people who have nannies, cleaners, gardeners, etc. but they still don't work 80 hours a week.

Somebody with a fairly normal job could, in principle (assuming employer allows it, opportunities exist, etc.), work 80 hours a week and spend their entire extra income on a full-time assistant for their daily chores. The more your hourly income is higher than the assistant's, the more economical that becomes. A FAANG level programmer could absolutely do that, but they typically don't, probably because it's not easy!

You don't even need an assistant if you have no kids, live walking distance from work, and get all your meals by eating out/delivery. You won't have much housework because you won't spend much time there.
