I was not making a joke. But that's not fitting the narrative in your head.

You invent other people in your head, me "rushing to the comments to make a low effort joke", ignoring what they say ("I was not making a joke"), then make up what they say, so you can attack them, instead of an argument ("I was not making a joke").

"The point stands that you lied about the number of comments"

I never said how many comments I have read. How can I lie about the number of comments I have read then? Are you mixing up comments? You see me highly confused.

[Edit] I made the comment because there are many leaf blowers here - and while they do individually safe time to the user, they create hell for everyone else who might be noise sensitive. And I made the comment to express that there is already an invention, the rake. So people could use that instead of optimizing their comfort and time against everyone else wellbeing. But people don't care.
Try going back a couple thousand years.

And then a few more, for good measure.

The only legitimate heirs to the region are the Bronze Age Canaanites. The only legitimate religious claim is held by the followers of El and Asherah.

All others are usurpers and latecomers.
Hey, that's a nifty looking library. Thanks for pointing it out to me!
OP understands that, the quote says that the "the infinitude of real numbers is next largest to that of natural numbers", which makes it sound like it is next largest as in second largest as in less large as in lower cardinality. So it seems backwards. Maybe the quote means "next largest" as in larger.
More like you can wait for loading Unreal Engine 5 applications for WebGPU today ;)

The car configurator demo loads a 117 MBytes WASM blob and then hundreds of tiny files between a few hundred bytes to a few KBytes, both extremes are worst case for a web application, it's quite hilarious really.

The demo didn't finish loading while writing this comment, and it doesn't look like the loading of those tiny files will ever end...
I've attempted to use it as a guided learning mechanism - and had some great success, but also it's sent me down some very deep, dark rabbit holes that turned out to be entirely wrong.

It frustrates me to no end... and then I go back for more punishment naively believing this time it'll actually be right.

With that said, the newer voice interactive version (using the app), I've found to be pretty slick for debating yourself on technical merits of designs/architecture, etc.

Stalin never earned the same perception as Hitler, probably because he won and Hitler didn't. History is written by the victors. There's a reason the cliche move in politics is to call your opponent "literally Hitler" and not "literally Stalin". That said, I doubt any tool named "Stalin" would gain any major traction. Adopting such a tool would be a huge liability for a company.
This neatly fits into the history of economies as described by Graeber in Debt: in a close knit society gift economies are a logical extension of how families share resources so barter or trade only really arose when different societies had to interact with each other (with the alternative being war) because those societies did not have the same level of shared mutual trust as each group had within itself.

Under late stage[0] capitalism we're incentivized to think of all relationships as transactional. All interactions between friends are or should be transactions. We spend time, pay attention, give and expect a return. If you're wasting time just having fun instead of working on your side hustle, you're falling behind. Your girlfriend breaking up with you is a learning opportunity you should turn into a blogpost about leadership skills and human resources. If you trust a stranger enough to fall for a scam, that's your fault for being naive. This even manifests in fintech: the entire selling point of blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies is "zero trust". But of course the hyperindividualized individual is also the perfect consumer: alone you lack communal spaces so you go somewhere you pay to be in order to talk to other people who paid to be there or have interactions with people you pay to talk to.

I guess I'm not surprised why religion is still so widespread in the US. Tithes and charity aside, churches and their communal spaces are rare opportunities to spend time with people without spending money or expecting anything in return.

[0]: There must be some unwritten law that anyone talking about present day capitalism will always think it's "late stage" with the expectation that it has developed to a point where it is so clearly self-destructive it must change into something else soon. Even the early 20th century communists were convinced capitalism would collapse under its social stresses any moment now and allow them to have communism rise out of its ashes.
GUI is more efficient? Joke.. JOKE :) GUI have it uses, for example data presentation and visualization. Oh I have nice tools here too. But data manipulation and query? CLI only or mixed where you query in CLI, got graph output.
As someone who lost one of their best friends to schizophrenia, I can guarantee you it that in his case it was a terminal illness. It was an ugly, dirty battle he slowly lost over the course of the 15 or so years he was diagnosed with it, and his family suffered every step of the way, and well beyond his final moment.

Just because a suffering isn’t visible, or doesn’t prevent someone from walking or getting up from a couch doesn’t mean it’s not every little bit as painful as a physical affliction.
> Both the Great Famine and the 1942-1943 famines were politically caused, the first by communism and the latter by Japanese invasion.

The Great Famine wasn't caused "by communism", it was caused by incompetence. Mao rejected both Western science and the expertise of Chinese farmers which agreed to it, much like the Nazis rejected "Jew science" (which luckily hampered their war effort and prevented them from developing nuclear weapons). He also established a culture of fear that led to bureaucrats lying about their numbers instead of risking admitting failure.

I guess you could say the cause of the Great Famine therefore was bureaucracy, or maybe dogmatism. Neither of which is necessary, nor sufficient, for communism[0].

[0]: ... even without getting into the distinction between what governments have justified with the excuse that they want to achieve communism and what communism itself would look like. No so-called communist government I'm aware of has ever claimed to have achieved communism. Even Soviet-era Eastern Europe at best claimed to have achieved "real socialism" when they pretty much admitted giving up on communism by calling anyone expecting more of them "utopianist".

When I work on solo projects, my goto is what I've dubbed the HAG stack:

- HTMX: For client/server interactions. Returning HTML fragments is easy and lightweight.
- AlpineJs: For interactivity that doesn't require a http request, think toggling sidebars etc...
- Go: Primary development language, simplistic and easy to get started with. Fast compilation and with embedded files I can ship a single binary for deployment that contains all required assets.

Tertiary and other tools/services I use:

- Turso (Sqlite): Primary datastore, great to use for a "db per user/tenant" approach."
- Redis: Sometimes I use redis over turso, depending on need. Also used for caching. I've been moving much more into Turso though, especially with the embedded replica's.
- Docker: Everything is built into docker images. For my Go app I disable CGO and use Google's "distroless" container images as the base image.
- Fly.io: Hosting everything.
I don't think anybody says the Egyptians couldn't build the Sphinx, they obviously built a lot of stuff at that scale or larger which isn't disputed. Plenty of people do claim that about the pyramids, but that's a separate and (IMHO) far kookier claim than the Sphinx stuff.
Well, that's just not what you are actually charged for delivery in California.
They may have clear path to "when", since they invest. For example, I see some transactions where smaller company is acquired by larger company, and it looks like both companies have the same core investors who guide through this route.
Either conditional looping (like the for loop in C) or recursion is enough for Turing completeness. Practically speaking, conditional looping generally requires mutable variable bindings, but I can imagine a SSA-based language where variables are unnecessary. With recursion, you have no need for mutability as the function call primitive gives you the variable rebinding you need.
Thank you.
It seems absurd that 'next largest' could mean 'larger than the largest'. Hence my (OP's) interpretation.
> which is worse - letting an abused child slip through the cracks, or take a child away from an innocent family?

Stealing a child from an innocent family. Obviously. That removing a child from their parents to a random foster family is an administrative decision versus action that requires a jury is in itself kind of shocking. (Next of kin is slightly different.)
An abundance of food means an abundance of offspring until there is no abundance of food. You have to make people serfs for them to spend their time with anything but increasing their family size and thereby increasing their power and influence. So maybe they weren't slaves, but for sure they were serfs.
I don't know... here's a prompt query for a standard problem in introductory integral calculus, and it seems to go pretty smoothly from a discrete arithmetical series into the continuous integral:

"Consider the following word problem: "A 100 meter long chain is hanging off the end of a cliff. It weighs one metric ton. How much physical work is required to pull the chain to the top of the cliff if we discretize the problem such that one meter is pulled up at a time?" Note that the remaining chain gets lighter after each lifting step. Find the equation that describes this discrete problem and from that, generate the continuous expression and provide the Latex code for it."
Yeah but the fact is that it works today, and will only get better and faster with time.

I can't speak to "the literature" but people have been colloquially talking about the mysterious lack of a canal since at least the 90s. One of the reasons people floated was a no-longer-active branch of the nile.

> Take a look at the first figure (HM1.1.1) in the following document - particularly those for the US, Canada, Australia, and NZ (all countries with prominent housing issues).

These are country-wide numbers. The obvious problem is that there is existing housing in Detroit but demand for housing in San Francisco.

It's also somewhat self-defining. If millennials are forced to live with their parents because they can't afford their own home then this is counted as one "household" when there is demand for two.

> On the other hand, I think there is a strong argument to be made for increasing underutilisation of housing (more second homes, short term rentals, etc).

There isn't anything inherently wrong with short-term rentals or second homes, they're just another type of housing demand that requires supply to increase to compensate. Until it isn't allowed to.
In NYC to get 3 condensers and 6 internal units PRE-REBATE my top line price was close to $40k. So it doesn't seem far off of what I was quoted 2 years ago?
Anyone who’s read the short story “The Billiard Ball” by Asimov would have taken it into account.
Humans have been humans for at least 200K years. And those primitive humans had the same capabilities we do today. But the kind concerted effort and organization required for monumental construction still took hundreds of generations to develop. Megaliths older than the Sphinx certainly exist, but the Sphinx is orders of magnitude more complex. Not just in terms of engineering and tools (the Sphinx was carved with metal tools) but the size of the well-governed population required to do the labor. It is inconceivable that a society could spring out of the marshlands to build the Sphinx and leave no other trace for thousands of years. And then for a new civilization to show up with all the technology and culture they had, falsify a load of records to say they built it along with the Pyramids.

There are an uncountable number of atoms in the universe. There are nondeterministic occurrences in many natural processes. Even if the universe is a simulation, that doesn’t mean that it’s able to be represented or formalized from within the simulation.

Math is possibly one of the best tools of the scientific method to make logical sense of the universe, but that doesn’t mean that we can compute any given thing due to the scales involved. Gödel was likely familiar with the unknowable nature of the universe given certain hard limits of calculation, computation, and measurement.

Physics is the tool we use to move the world, yet we may never be able to build a lever or fulcrum long enough to actually do so - physics and math only give us a place to stand and means to orient ourselves. Everything else is engineering, I’d say.

> Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world.

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Archimedes

I would like to hear your thoughts, however. I think you’re right in a sense, that physics and math are possibly inseparable syntactically, similar to the identity property. If a thing is what it does, physics is math as much as it is logic, or vice versa.

Like math, logic is what we understand it to be, regardless of correspondence to reality. Physics rather seeks to represent and model more than the abstract truths of math and logic, and physics has an element of necessary utility and correspondence to hypothetical or actually existing realities, possibilities, and observable phenomena, whereas math and logic are not burdened by testability, but are rather proven or disproven via internal consistency and formalisms.

Like many tools, their proper usage comes down to holding them correctly, both in hand and in mind.
In the modern world we have Qatar and other middle-eastern countries that trick migrants into coming in to work on their massive projects in the insane heat, seize their passports and basically have them "work or die".

They are paid but aren't they technically slaves at that point if they cannot quit?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/25/revealed-qatar...

What if pyramid workers were like that? Came and started to work, realized the insanity of it all and wanted to quit but if they did they would be killed, starved or blacklisted?
I think you're greatly underestimating the low hanging fruits in big important non-tech organisations like governments.
Leave JS off and google search is still nearly useless and full of unnecessary bloat before you get to real results, but at least it's instant.
I personally am liking chatGPT (i know its not that but feels like it) rolled into Google search.

Overall im hoping OpenAI and Microsoft create a chatGPT phone to compete with iPhone and Android. Either they go the Android route (create a phone OS for manufacturers) or build a direct iPhone competitor. The UI/UX would be fairly minimal and ur chatGPT phone would be used as your 2nd brain / your AI friend. You wouldn't interact with the web so much .. maybe you still would with apps but not as much as your home screen 50% of the time would provide textually, graphically or audibly what you seek with minimal effort on your part. Your AI friend knows you well....

I can't speak to evidence that slaves weren't used but we have records of wages paid to laborers and engineers.
The sound has 37% less power, but human perception of sound intensity is roughly logarithmic. Looking at the difference in dB will give you a better estimate of the perceived change than the difference in actual sound power.
The page mentions various explanations (just-so stories that are expected for archaeology). No definitive answer.
I just started watched the YouTube.

It’s hard to take this debunking serious when the very 1st point he makes about Graham is incorrect.

He states that Graham claims to be a researcher.

https://youtu.be/-iCIZQX9i1A?t=139

In the Netflix series, Graham doesn’t not. He makes it clear he’s not a researcher nor archeologist. He clearly states he’s an investigative journalist.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=19&v=DgvaXros3MY&feature=youtu...

And then the YouTube host roots his show on the scientific method with the question “How do you prove there was an ancient civilians”.

This is the wrong root question.

The root question should be “How did ancient civilians create these structures using the technology we believe they had at the time”. Or said differently, “how did civilians not use more advance technology than we believe they had”

(Which is only bronze tools and no existence of the wheel)
Line going up means economy healthy, right?

Who cares about housing affordability, or ballooning national, student, and medical debt, or people having fewer kids due to economic anxiety, or increasingly destructive natural disasters all across the country...

Also a lot of bitmaps on textures and stuff. It's fine though, it's a classic 3D game, no need to renovate it.
Yeah, I can say from experience of D3 at least, it's very far from locked in. In fact I would ask what library you're thinking of could be less.

The community also has helped with some bizarre integrations I was trying to do, into libraries like highcharts for strange reasons etc.
I would expect that harbors were mostly made of wood. Stone is too heavy and would sink into the bottom, and they didn't have access to enough metals to think about bronze (much less iron). Wood of course rots - while the climate in Egypt is the most conductive to wood not rotting, if it was a harbor structure I'd expect (read I'm not sure here!) that the area remained as a swamp for a while thus rotting away anything left behind before to fully dried up.
The trick, which is actually the solution to 99% of usability problems on the internet, is to simply disable javascript for the site.
Do you have a specific example for Google?

The fact that it has been reported by groups like Amnesty International that Facebook helped to enable the ethnic violence in Myanmar makes arguing this sort of point much easier. People want to treat complaints about attention economy companies like they are coming from whiners who just don’t like ad profiles. It is useful to have specific information to remind people of the actual stakes of uncontrolled, personalized propaganda and social manipulation that these companies can enable.

So if you have one for Google I’d definitely be interested in adding it to my collection. (I’ll admit some bias, I think they are a little better than Facebook, but that bar is so low, let’s be careful not to trip over it).
Click the URL bar. If on a page that provides a search engine, you can add it immediately. If not, click the cog on the right, then choose a new default search engine.
One example of meta instead of google:

> I don't think anybody says the Egyptians couldn't build the Sphinx

That's what the hypothesis u/tiffanyh EXPLICITLY says, and connects with the larger theory of Atlantis and Thule.

They already brought up the fairly discredited hypothesis that humans couldn't have built Stonehenge, ignoring the fact the prehistoric megaliths are actually fairly common, and "simple machines" are a fairly well known concept throughout much of history, and forced labor was VERY common throughout much of history.
Well, innovating or start bloating? Usually I see things being overengineered because we MUST innovate. No innovation = going backward.

Progress bar? what for? Is something like that not enough?

Transmiting files: 3/20 (12%), 675kB/s

Or sth like that. Far more informative that just progress bar. And can render

The pyramids were treated as a quarry over the millennia. Much of the outer casing and more was used to build medieval Cairo.
Meh, I was a smart-alec kid there with my friend. The salesperson had to go get a sim card "for the LTE to work" and I said "oh right, because LTE is GSM and requires a sim". The salesman insisted Sprint didn't use GSM so I looked up the wikipedia page for LTE on one of their demo phones and started reading out loud "In telecommunications, long-term evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA standards."

That's when the salesman told me to leave.
I bet there's a lot of cheap wins by bundling all those tiny files in a few bigger ones. But minimizing the WASM blob for a humongous native engine like Unreal Engine 5 sounds like a real challenge. Even when this is reduced by 90% it's still 10x bigger than Unity's web output, which is 10x bigger than a specialized WASM game engine designed for the web as "first class citizen".

I have higher hopes for the web people (like PlayCanvas, Babylon, threejs, etc...) writing a proper WASM game engine by "scaling up" their experience of building browser rendering engines, than the traditional "native game engine" people "scaling down" to web requirements (especially when it comes to time needed to start into the game - the entire asset loading system of native engines needs to be rebuilt from scratch for this).
Why not NBD? It should be as fast, and there are many more NBD clients.
Surely it wouldn't be aimed at proving a 10 million line black box of code, right?

In my mind it would have to be built from the ground up, sub unit tests for function proofs and maintain 100% coverage as you go along. As long as the constituent parts are proven you don't have to zoom out to a macro level.
In fact, NAND gates are enough to build a Turing complete machine. ;-)
Why are you planing to do this internationaly? Can't it be done locally?

Yeah that's kind of what I was getting at: the implications of all these aerosols falling to earth later, and getting into everything.
It's not exciting, because the patents were never a barrier to innovation in the first place. LCDs have patents up the wazoo, it doesn't stop innovation there. The core problem with e-ink - the lack of market to justify R&D spending - hasn't really changed.
> Founders are getting better terms in private markets instead of public markets. This is why you are seeing these massive series rounds

They asked why there are massive rounds. You answered founders are going to private markets because there are massive rounds. This is circular logic.
