>As a result, I highly doubt we'll get anything as advanced as Half-Life: Alyx on the platform.

How many years of VR gaming on how many other devices have produced how many Half-Life: Alyxs? And even Alyx was basically a vanity experiment designed to sell hardware. There simply isn't much content that has justified the medium yet. At a certain point I wonder if the future of VR gaming is just providing the biggest screen in your house to play your traditional games with a Bluetooth controller.

Code reuse.

The benefits of hard language: 1) I now can do interesting things like text parsing, 2) my scripts are cross platform, 3) I don't need to figure out how to deploy python everywhere in advance or on demand, 4) if the user has python, I don't need to tell him I don't like his python version and he must install a different OS, 5) I don't have python as an extra dependency, 6) I can reuse my main code in my scripts, 7) scripts are written in a language with a decent type system.

they should have focused on supporting the genesis and the saturn for as long as possible.

sega was a dysfunctional business reacting to fickle changes in the market (32x was a response to the Atari Jaguar lol).

probably as they didn't have the strong cash reserves of a nintendo, sony or microsoft.

but ultimately i think they were an arcade business and the transition from arcade to home killed them. the same as snk/neo geo.
Neat. I suppose that the small subset of people who can manage to survive in Ohio with only a bicycle must neatly overlap with the small subset of people who have had their license suspended as a punishment for debt, then, since that's the only way that these words of yours support your greater concept.

Indeed. There's also 'learning' and learning: really knowing all the nooks and crannies of a language, learning the standard library and learning popular third party libraries all takes time and makes a big difference to code quality.
Yeah. Especially if you rip out VDP2 and some of the more 2D orientated features of VDP1 it looks very much like an attempt at a cost-optimised Model 2.

And if you read the interview that ndiddy linked above (https://mdshock.com/2020/06/16/hideki-sato-discussing-the-se...), it might be accurate to say the Saturn design is what you get when an engineer with no background in 3D graphics (and unable to steal sufficient 3D graphics experience from the Sega Arcade division) attempts to create a cost-optimised Model 2.

I suspect the first pass was just a cost-optimised textured quad renderer, then Sato went back to his 2D graphics experience and extended it into a powerful 2D design.
I can't edit my post now, but to be clear I was talking about kinetic energy. I would have thought momentum is not a very useful thing to talk about in a case like this where there was some pretty obvious transformation of energy into damage, etc.

Once a SV PR department is done with it, I’m sure that families will not share ‘content’ but ‘experiences’.
but why do you want cooperative cancellation? this seems ideal for a thread pool, and if the allocated time is up, ask the OS to stop them. ideally the system would allocate the threads to dedicated CPU cores that have all kinds of interrupt handling disabled (so the throughout is maximalized)

if you want to do this without kernel support, then somehow the program needs to do the periodic checks. the JVM has this (safepoints), but there's no royal road for this.

Beyond all the OpenAIs, Anthropics, Googles, Metas or Amazons of the Western world, which produce amazingly plausible results in English (never mind the confabulation and incoherence, they're probabilistic models, after all), there are interesting developments in the open source universe of Generative Pre-training Transformers (yes, GPTs ;-) that are better at generating content in other languages.

Suggestion for go-to-market: if you haven’t already done so, try to sell this direct to universities. They are an absolute pain to deal with, but they have various obligations to show how they are supporting dyslexic students etc and this fits the bill perfectly.

Their lead times are long so I’d start establishing trials now, partner with a university on agreement of a discount and use them to develop the software.

Once you’ve got a few uni’s onboard, you can rapidly expand and they are very unlikely to churn as you’re serving such an important niche.

I know a very similar product that has had huge success doing this.
Show HN: I made a tool to fight the lonely journey of founders
Hello HN,

My name is Vaibhav and I built a tool called Selftalk.ing

While you may call it a ‘wrapper’, it is more than that.

"Self talk" means the way you talk to yourself, or your inner voice. Research indicates that engaging in self-talk can reduce anxiety, enhance self-esteem, and boost productivity.

Thus, Selftalk.ing helps you by delivering personalized advices, motivation & reminders straight to the inbox to keeps you on track.

While it is NOT an alternative to therapy, it is a like a friend that can be your personalised listener (fully unbiased), reached anywhere and anytime (using email) and helps you stay focused (with your defined goal)

Thoughts, feedback, opinion are welcome.

Thank you!

Fungi don't really need any help. Only reason they aren't even worse than what was depicted in TLoU is there's really no reason for them to be.

Human mind control would only reduce their fitness.

CSV is still faster than geo-formats with pyogrio. From what I saw, it writes most of the file quickly, then spends a lot of time, I think, building the index.

Great question. I just tested it, and Aqua was smart enough to figure out which "GPU" I was talking about using context.

In the example below I asked it to "make it H100 GPUs" and it only modified the GPU in the list.

Aqua isn't perfect though, and while I think we are mostly solving this case there are plently where we need to do better.

Hey Team,

I just had a chat with the marketing people, and they confirmed we should buy enough GPUs to meet the demand.

- 1,000 H100 GPUs

- 1,000 processors

- 500 NVME SSDs

- 200 standard racks

Perhaps.

But do you really think the rather small city of Norwalk, Ohio was planned for a nearly-perfect alignment for the center of the 2024 NA total eclipse? (Feel free to look on the eclipse map of your choice -- I'm not trying to deep-link or screenshot that, and it would be beneficial to the viewer to be able to pan around. And it's easy to find:
When panning around the eclipse map, Norwalk is about the only city directly on the center-line up North in Ohio.)

(That said: The alignment of Main Street to the center path of the 2024 eclipse in Norwalk might indeed be planned. Sandusky, Ohio is not far from there, and is said to have been designed around masonic symbols[a]. I don't discount the idea. And that's part of what makes it alluring to me, even though I tell myself that it must be a coincidence.)

I'm just a nobody who wrote DotN64, and contributed a lil' bit to CEN64, PeterLemon's tests, etc.

For objn64, I don't think PNG was patched in. I only fixed a handful of things like a buffer overflow corrupting output by increasing the tmp_verts line buffer (so you can maximise the scale), making BMP header fields 4 bytes as `long` is platform-defined, bumping limits, etc. Didn't bother submitting patches since I thought nobody used it anymore, but I can still do it if anyone even cares.

Since I didn't have a flashcart to test with for the longest time, I couldn't really profile, but the current microcode setup seems to be more than fine.

Purely out of curiosity, as I now own a SC64, is the 64drive abandonware ? I tried reaching out via email a couple times since my 2018 order (receipt #1532132539), and I still don't know if it's even in the backlog or whether I could update the shipping address.

Agreed. My scripts got much better when I abandoned Bash, and switched to Zx, which is basically NodeJS.

Depends on the language. I am competent in half a dozen languages, and write a lot of functional code.

Maybe not for you. If I had a medical emergency, I wouldn't want to be attended to by a mopey physician - no matter how dire my circumstances. The same goes for therapists and first responders. Yes, those people don't always see people at their best, and they've seen some shit - but it's just a job, and society works best if that job is done well.

ER doctors are the SREs of physicians - some folk are wired to enjoy the same high-tempo/unpredictability aspects that repels others.
Great idea.

This is definitely worth looking into. We don't want to slow down the pace of development, but this might be a case where the partnership makes too much sense.

A huge portion of what goes on in universities is writing.

The fact that GPT could reliably produce the right JSON structure but an open model couldn't is fascinating to me. It's impressive how far ahead OpenAI is.
Planes use two engines because they can land with one and smaller jet engines are about as complicated as larger ones. Ships have different constraints. For example, a lower output diesel engine could have fewer cylinders and correspondingly lower maintenance costs.

I'm still unsure of what you mean. Of course blocking on the future is a property of the function! The future/promise can exist everywhere, including in non-async functions. The key difference with async functions is that you can block the execution flow on await and only them can do that. Futures/promises cannot by themselves.

But calling await on a future doesn't necessarily mean it will in fact block the flow of execution, it can also return the value instantly (which means it doesn't fit your previous definition of non-blocking function), but it's still a special function that needs to be handled like any other non-blocking function (you can't just call it to get the result, you need to “unwrap” the future by calling await on it).

What I pointed out is that your definition of the split between non-blocking and blocking function is inconsistent and the reason why it is is because you fundamentally get the non-blocking/blocking difference backwards. And that's not your fault actually, the syntax used in pretty much every language leads to this confusion if you don't take a step back and think about it.

That's an interesting perspective to take. Those countries in Europe who have prohibited capital punishment have done so because we believe it is immoral even in the case of absolute certainty of guilt. Take Anders Breivik for example: there is no doubt whatsoever of his guilt - he is a mass murderer. Nevertheless, according to modern European concepts of morality he should be treated well even in prison, and the Norwegians take that to a level that many other countries would find absurd.

I try very hard to do just the opposite. If I need a script to do something existing code can't ,then it is most likely exciting and I'm going to use that energy to learn something new, be it a language or tool.

From a scientific standpoint it seems easier to reject "knowing with certainty" than to accept that there must be consciousness.

Not to say that the scientific standpoint is the best here, but there are many areas to investigate still, before giving up :)
I've also don't remember seeing them in Europe when flying as a child during the 1990s. Yes, there were shared CRTs every 10-15 rows or so, but the earphones were your run-of-the-mill electric earphones, usually with a two prong connector.

I have to add these were all international flights (this was mostly pre-Schengen, and in any case I don't believe I've taken a flight between Schengen Area countries until 2023), so I'm not sure if shorter distance flights would have been different. The mid-distance flights (> 2.5 hours) I've taken would generally have in-flight entertainment if it wasn't a budget option. Some of the cheaper flights had no screens (or maybe they had ones, but didn't want to pay for the movie) and still had earphones slots connect to a set of inflight radio stations (that were also available when there was a movie being played, as an alternative).

So yes, it was an arguably "superior" experience with selectable audio, volume buttons and rather crappy drivers directly inside the earphones.
