Although pros do still make clear errors and even misses that may not be classed as an error (but are at the professional level) might outweigh the brilliant shots when it comes to the win. I suspect this is why some games are 'best of'. The real aficionados sense a low error rate and then it's more purely about the big, brilliant plays - and that's not a common event.
It's not a perfect solution but not voting them in does help a lot.

These communities are insular and lawless, not to mention hours away from any significantly sized town. They know who belongs there and who doesn't.

The spy would have to be internal people who are turned, which is not easy either because these folks are not educated, and would have trouble hiding their new income or acting within the confines of a information providing program.

Not impossible, but unfortunately, our government doesn't have the resources.

Do your own buying-power comparisons rather than accept 'official figures'.

Gold in 1963 was $35 an ounce, what is it today?

You could buy a new Rolex Oyster in 1970-odd for $210. What does one cost today?

Also compare car and/or house prices of 1960-odd and today.

That 'ten' is nowhere near where it should be.

In the 60s, a blue-collar production worker could afford a good house, a good car, a good holiday every year and could afford to have his non-working wife looking after the kids at home. Today many people have both husband and wife working and still can't make ends meet.

Yes, but PayPal was growing off the back of eBay, CyberCash never became entrenched to get the first mover's advantage

one of the fundamental problems in photogrammetry is determining the position of the camera in 3D space, with a game engine you just have a concrete value for your camera position, removing that entire problem. I don't know too much about photogrammetry but i'd imagine once your camera position is 100% accurate it's a lot easier to construct the point cloud accurately.

There was a news story a while back about how some chain stores were not going after most shoplifters directly but would keep the recordings on file and press felony charges once a certain total had been exceeded, so instead of getting a slap on the wrist for a few dollars of shrinkage here or there they'd drop the entire weight of the law on shoplifters once those few dollars added up to an amount that qualified for felony theft.

Given that "just walk out" apparently means "replace cashiers with offshore video analysts" I'd wager Whole Foods might do something similar and policing shrinkage in self-checkout is too expensive compared to just keeping track of cheats and throwing the book at them if they make a habit out of it.

This is a natural next step of this kind of tech (and WebAssembly tech in general) -- but that seems to not be the direction that renderlet is going... No reason they couldn't do it, but actually rendering 2D/3D and specializing in making GUI application development easier are similar but not quite the same.

Someone could definitely build another "last" cross platform application development toolkit with WebAssembly right now, and have it actually work reasonably well, and be slightly more desirable than flutter (and it could absolute use flutter/skia underneath) since you could build without the Dart (for those who don't necessarily prefer Dart).

> Instead of cooperation under a system with a social safety net, we get a game theoretic weighting on defection without a social safety net.

There is a safety net. Here's how I'd describe the situation:

There will be a number of people, fewer than the total who benefit from the safety net, who almost everyone would say it was good that they were helped.

There will be a number of people, fewer than the total who benefit from the safety net, who almost everyone would say it was not good that they were helped.

Most of politics around this topic is people's differing beliefs in the proportions of the above, and how bought in they are to minimising the latter count because they pay taxes.
> I hate it more than I can say when I read books or listen to talks and performances by men who tell and ‘interpret’ women’s stories, and who are kind enough then to suggest to us ways in which our lives as women might be improved. I’ve never wanted to do the same to them

What a weird take on things: let's apply neat little discrete labels to every person and pretend that the experiences of each particular combination of labels is so radically different from everybody else's that we can't possibly learn anything from anybody else.

> but the knowledge of psychology, myth and folklore that I’ve acquired over the past several decades isn’t restricted to women, and it seems a pity to hold back information and ideas that might be useful

Ah, some common sense prevailed. Thank goodness. It can't possibly be the case that when men do the same it's somehow with the same goal of trying to be useful; no, it must be that they are trying to "'interpret' women's stories".

Look, I'm an immigrant queer disabled man, and if all I did was listening to what other immigrant queer disabled men had to say and looked down on input from other people my information bubble would be very small indeed.

Fortunately, most people are willing to listen to all sorts of other people and judge what they have to say fot what it is, not based on some labels we assigned to the source. And conversely, when the information they have provided falls below our standards, we should place the blame on the individual rather than the collective that we think they belong to.

> The problem is that winning in startups is often a tail event, which means reducing blunders doesn't have much impact on the overall probability.

Maybe you could compare it to playing chess against a much higher rated player. In that sense, minimizing your weaknesses is still useful. And looking at the "blunders" the author lists we can definitely say that making these errors is worse than not making them.

One place where this analogy breaks down is that chess is a zero-sum perfect information game. Business is neither zero-sum (competition can encourage innovation and better products) nor perfect information. In chess, we can calculate for each of the candidate moves and have theoretically perfect knowledge of the future state of the board. In business and many other situations, this kind of thing isn't possible. The upshot is that several of the "blunders" the author lists may only turn out to be blunders after the fact.

Show HN: LoanSim – Powerful Loan Repayment Simulator
LoanSim is like a loan repayment calculator on steroids. You enter the loan amount, interest rate, and loan duration, and it will tell you the minimum repayment amount, last payment date, and total amount you will pay on the loan over the period.

But that's only the start!

LoanSim allows you to change the interest-rate and / or repayment amount at any month during the loan period and see how that affects the loan over the long term. You can also make once-off payments at any given month to see how that affects the loan.

But there's more!

On the Home Loan page, in addition to the default functionality listed aboce, you can add the cost of the home, the deposit amount, and renovations costs, and the loan amount is automatically calculated and the equity that you have in the home is calculated month-by-month.
The Home Loan page will also display the monthly cost of owning the home, including insurance and rates etc.
You can also update the home value during any month [maybe you got the home re-valued].

If you create an account you can save any loan and revisit it at a later date. No more guessing how much equity you currently have in your home or how much your repayments will increase if interest rates go up by 2% next month!

NOTE: This website is a work in progress. It works best on PC, and is not yet optimized for mobile.
Having just gone through the daylight savings change here in Europe, I found this really fascinating: how __do__ you set up time for the moon where time, at least as we understand it, doesn't really exist?

I'm sure that, starting from scratch on Earth, we'd probably come up with a system of time zones that is broadly similar to what we have today but with some new zones and some adapted zones. Then again, maybe we'd find a way to change things up altogether - is there any value to GMT being based on Greenwich if the UK is not the global power it once was?
Sadly a Disneyland Paris season pass is more expensive than a home gym over the long term.
> pay can never be enough because it is economically necessary to underpay workers relative to what they contribute because profit by definition can only exist from surplus value

That's a silly definition of "enough" to label as a fact.

I feel like the lifestyle you can buy with the pay matters too, but even if we ignore that aspect, I think most people will agree that the worker getting 90% of the surplus value is "enough". (just as an example percent) There's no reason the bar should be the absolute extreme.
They only call it a sudoku when it is a sudoku. I.e sudoku rules apply. There are additional constraints, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a sudoku. Los Alamos chess or crazyhouse chess is still chess, isn't it? Chess is really a family of games, and the same is true of sudoku.

And then do what with it? I live in an EU country where illegal timber exploitation is rife, and there's not much a lone person with a drone can do.

A lot of these areas are relatively remote and the underfunded police and rangers are usually quite far away and slow to show up, even when they're not paid by the timber mafia to look the other way. And by the time authorities do show up, the mobsters have been most likely tipped off and cleared the area.

And if you're an average joe trying to directly interfere you're putting your life in danger since you're standing in the way of a multi million euro industry and there's camera footage of volunteer forest watchers being assaulted by timer mobsters on quad bikes wearing balaklavas.

If this is happening in the EU I can't imagine what it's like in other places.
I assume they want fstab integration because the goal is to have everything as fully declarative, and also because mount units have a much more explicit, spelled out syntax.

It's also far easier to edit with automated tools than fstab, since it's separate files and there's no ad hoc text parsing to change one line.

I am guessing they didn't do it in a more modular way because the target audience doesn't really have any intent of swapping out many pieces of the OS, and it would be extra work to implement?

If you want to do stuff the devs intended, in the way they intended, it's fantastic, but it seems to disappoint people who need or want to customize.

Medicare forced to expand forms to fit 10-digit bills–a penny shy of $100M
Exactly. It's precisely this about art that I find frustrating, not the inability to pin it down but the desire to expand the definition to fit anything someone wants, thus debasing the concept of art.

If art is valuable (and I most definitely believe it is) should be treating it differently I feel; a little less 'precious' and whole lot more discerning.
Depends on how you count. Meta/FAIR realizing de-facto that open LLaMa was in their advantage is debatably causally related to everything that happened after, but there's a case people would have figured it out anyways.

In this narrow instance it's not true at all: Mistral (pre-MSFT Mistral, we'll see going forward) released "Mixtral" 8x7B with de-facto "available weight" licensing and enough arch literature to make it the go-to for a long time.

Dolphin is an Orca-style "non-operator de-alignment / operator-alignment" of that model, based on open work on this out of MSFT.

And they did it on a very modest budget by the standards of foundation models in any modality but especially natural language and adjacent things.

It's basically established at this point at least to my satisfaction that too much money hurts AI research. It's too easy to just throw money at it, and if you have that kind of backing, you have to show results on a very specific schedule (usually).

That’s a grossly unfair comparison:

1. For starters you’re comparing TV production to YouTube content. The two aren’t even close to being equal in terms of budget.

2. Most popular content on YouTube still have at least professionals DSLRs and paid crew beyond just the influencers. Even if it’s just an editor or two.

3. I think the GP was talking about music rather then video content

4. Even with music, previously you’d have the record label pay for the studio costs, etc. What’s happening these days is that artists are generally getting paid less after deductions. Not before. That’s the unfair part.
