From what I've read (the pinned comment in the aforementioned video), he just decided to ditch high resolution voxels for lower resolution ones, as the feedbacks said they preferred a more pixelated art style. But still voxels.
But looking at his latest blog post, it seems that he's not focused on voxels at the moment yet. Or maybe got hired and can't talk about it, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> I'm not saying that C is safe, but it is clear from the statistics that the danger is very very highly overrated. There is a much greater danger in rewriting battle-tested systems just for the sake of rewriting.

From 80->90->00->10->20s reading and writing C seems less and less magical, including for exploit writers. In 10 years exploits might even be written willy-nilly by an LLM. One of the reasons why writing safe and secure code requires thinking few steps into the future.
Because there are plenty of people who don't kill/eat certain animals but do slaughter other animals. This person in the thread described their new love for chickens, but I have a good feeling that they probably still eat beef or pork. But the "solution" to the vegan problem cannot be to surround everyone with farm animals, because when that was true for most people (100+ years ago), everyone ate meat that they killed themselves.

I think any good person can understand and empathize with the modern day practices of factory farming and meat production, but the solutions coming from vegans are also untenable in the face of human history. We can move away from unethical farming practices without removing meat from our diets and ignoring the absolutely huge benefits of eating meat as humans.

I went to school beside the Guinness brewery. The smell of the hops brewing will remain with me forever.

However the school was dirt poor in many ways and they wouldn't sponsor our school football team to buy some kit. This was back in the 80's Ireland with massive unemployment and huge emigration.

Ironically the school had a computer lab way beyond its time when one ex-pupil donated a couple of Apple Macs and a dozen Apple IIe's. That's were I cut my teeth on some - probably BASIC - programming, learning myself.

On Topic - Guinness were always canny and ahead of their time. Getting a job there was like winning the lotto, you were pretty much made for life.
Personally, it was an eye-opener for me to see what difference the personal contact makes. I now prefer companies which are in-person or hybrid (which doesn't optimize for remote).
Hm, do you have a source for that? It's possible that you're mixing it up with his decision to shelf "micro-voxels" in favor of the traditional, chunkier voxel art style.

A jury hands Bungie a victory in a landmark anti-cheating decision
Capitalism, The Wealth of Nations, the observation that people making the best choices for themselves is often good for the collective benefit of society, because this reduces waste.

A century later, communism, The Communist Manifesto, was the observation that in practice capitalism is, much like its various predecessors, yet another way for minorities to rule over the masses.

Unfortunately, the utopian attempts to replace capitalism with communism have thus far demonstrated exactly the same problems that capitalism has.

A century later, we got Nash game theory, formalising the tragedy of the commons, the prisoner's dilemma, etc., — I suspect "the next big thing" will be based on this. (Scare quotes because it may already exist: communist thought had precursors before the Manifesto, and there was a big gap between the publication of the Manifesto and the Russian revolution).
Mandatory insurances (that are mandatory to ensure victims get paid) are often required to pay even in such cases, but are then allowed to (try to) get the money back from the perpetrator. This protects the victim but not the perpetrator, eliminating the moral hazard.
> but the fact that I have to use a compiler disqualifies the term 'scripting' from being applicable here, imho ..

I'm not sure if this is a useful distinction to make.

Lua, perhaps the most used scripting language out there, runs through a compiler too and then runs a bytecode interpreter on the resulting code. Most scripting languages work this way. The compiler is still there even if it gets invoked at runtime. Most games ship the compiled bytecode files, not the script source.

The key part here is loading the "script" bytecode at runtime and then executing it in the host, allowing reloading and restarting the script without restarting the "host" process (often a game engine with long load times and lots of resident assets like textures, shaders, models etc that don't need reloading).

The host process could also include a mechanism to invoke the compiler at runtime, pass in the script as text, grab the output and then run it as it does currently. This would be identical to how Lua et al work, but quite a bit of work to set up for limited benefit.
> What is the bull case here?

The real bull case - Elon doesn't kowtow to mentally ill basement nerds and the media/politicians trying to not lose power.

Can you image someone running in to tell Elon the fat nerds on HN are in a tizzy about Grok telling people to eat rocks?

Other bull case he's obviously silo-ing Twitter for unique training data. Reddit can only ask nicely you don't train off them.

Twitter with a good AI could become quite strong. I'm not as bullish on this, but... Twitter is all the cutting edge news. ChatGPT was happy to be years out of date.

No one cares Russia has finally manned up and launched a tactical nuke 24 hours after it happens, something new will be trending. This is Twitters strength, to the minute data. One of the AI's will have to specialize in this.

> There are no standards.

I don't agree with this. There are tons of standards (even if it's de-facto) from VTxxx to XTerm's emulation standards. If there were no standards, it wouldn't be possible to talk with a modern system using a real VT320 (Yes, we have these), or with a vintage system with a modern terminal over a TTYUSB device.

> The problem happens when someone wants to add something new to the terminal ecosystem.

I understand, but every decent standard should take what's done before them and be prepared to face with it. Let it be Ethernet, TTY, even something modern like DisplayPort. When people doesn't do their due diligence and spend the time required to handle edge cases, things are bound to break (e.g. Cheap monitors' firmware contains identical serial numbers, causing all types of shenanigans in multi-monitor setups).

> 2a) Designing something becomes harder because it has to be designed to work with the horrible hack that is terminal multiplxer.

For harder part, see the previous paragraph. i.e.: One should do their homework to work with other systems. On the oh gawd horrible hack! part, That "horrible hack" is saving hours of work per month per person who work with remote servers for ~30 years now, and nobody is planning to give them up AFAICS.

> The tty model is dead simple, one tty per child process. When you add a terminal multiplxer it completely confuses this simplicity, making it instead multiple processes per tty and does it in a way that is opaque to both the processes and the host terminal, leading to endless bug and incompatibilities.

Maybe one should draft a new standard about multiplexing terminals persistently without it being a hack? There's a big gap there, as you point out.

> 2b) Any new feature is now gatekept by the individuals in charge of the multiplexer projects.

Both screen and tmux are maintained properly, and they fix the bugs they cause actively. For example, screen was causing a problem in SGR mode, and they fixed it 2 months ago [0].

Oh, on SGR; it's an ECMA Standard. Standard-48 to be more precise [1]. So, again, there are standards, and you can build new ones, and I bet, terminal multiplexers will play along if you don't throw eggs at them.

Of course they are powerful and can pull a lot of weight but it struggles doing that. You can hear it in the sound when you let go of the clutch, the stress of the chassis and all that it brings with it. At the end of a day it sprays much more than it is needed, so lose-lose situation.

Now if you combine this drone with a targeted spray depositing, you see where I'm getting?

P.S. I don't know why my comment was down voted, but ignorance knows no boundaries.
My argument is different. The article is studying the macro situation, my comment focuses on the micro. You can argue an exploitative strategy on the macro, but the individual themselves is still getting a product they are assumedly fine paying for (and there's a big assumption that "people wouldn't buy it otherwise" if priced a cent above) .

The harm on the micro level is negligible, and you can even argue the macro level doesn't fundentally harm society like so many other modern tactics. Environments aren't impacted, liberties are not breached. Children are not exploited. There's no slippery slope towards some gambling addiction. It's not opening a door for hate.

>You can say you don't really care, and that may be true about addressing the problem, but making arguments for why this isn't actually a problem suggests you care about the topic in a way that compels you to dismiss it, at the very least.

It's a discussion, I care about seeing others viewpoints. But I don't feel very challenged here. The questions above are all the things I'd hope to have more viewpoints revealed on when I made my comment up chain. So far it's simply been 2 instances of "why are you defending this?" a question on me instead of a glimpse into you and the GGP.

It's a conversation, not a debate (invoking privation fallacy doesn't exactly change my mindset here. Even if I'd "lose" a formal debate). So I answered that question. I'm "defending this" because it feels trivial but so many are riled up about this. Claiming they won't even participate in purchasing such products. Which is baffling to me.

I More than free to clarify if that's unclear, but I hope I can hear others' viewpoints as well. Because I don't get the big deal outside of in a moral vaccuum. In reality, it's comparatively trivial even if we only focus on how pricing works (e.g. The US sales tax problem).

We know a software 'off' is not a definitive off. So it is, imho, and has been for a long time, extremely safe to assume that Apple takes all data from all devices as often and as much as it can even when things are 'turned off'. Apple does it very obviously with settings on podcast sync or music artwork, blatantly having those off settings turn on after any update. LittleSnitch and the like also point to nannying tickles. I am equally blood boiled, like LapCatSoftware, and would applaud a huge fine from either the USA gov or the EU or both. Apple MUST address this. The privacy mask is slipping in full view of more public.

Dave Barry made a similar observation about antismoking PSAs, objecting to one that had someone throw a diseased lung on a table.

That’s when SBF told Sequoia about the so-called super-app: “I want FTX to be a place where you can do anything you want with your next dollar. You can buy bitcoin. You can send money in whatever currency to any friend anywhere in the world. You can buy a banana. You can do anything you want with your money from inside FTX.”
Suddenly, the chat window on Sequoia’s side of the Zoom lights up with partners freaking out.
“I LOVE THIS FOUNDER,” typed one partner.
“I am a 10 out of 10,” pinged another.
“YES!!!” exclaimed a third.
What Sequoia was reacting to was the scale of SBF’s vision. It wasn’t a story about how we might use fintech in the future, or crypto, or a new kind of bank. It was a vision about the future of money itself—with a total addressable market of every person on the entire planet.

Code reviews are more of a formality, a pointless one. There's little to no value in one code reviewing a piece of code without the background business problem being solved by it.
The convolution is approximated via a form of sampling with additional bookkeeping at each encountered branch. How well that scales for deeply branching programs depends on the probabilities of the branches and the diversity in the output on the resulting paths, the worst case being a program where all branches are equally likely and each path generates an entirely different output (as in a hash function, for example). In practice, we've been dealing with problems involving up to tens of thousands of branches or so.

We've haven't done a direct comparison to MCMC approaches yet, but it's on the Todo list. My intuition is that MCMC will win out for problems where finding "just any" local optimum is not good enough.

Many of our problems are caused by the useless things we are doing because we have run out of useful things. Some wars, for example. We can't allocate more people to making things from scratch, so the excess goes towards stealing them from our neighbors.
Neat!

I've only done some surface-level digging into CAMM2/LPCAMM2, and assumed it'd target the laptop market first and foremost. It's interesting to see it on an ATX board targeting desktops.

I thought it must be one of those situations where the train was around the corner and even most humans wouldn't see it unless they stopped and listened like they're supposed to. Then I watched the video. I would have missed it at that speed in the fog, but I wouldn't drive that fast in the fog.

The signal is clear enough at a safe speed, but there wasn't much time to react zooming around inside a cloud.
No, is the short answer. What you'd need is space-time rotating, not something physical rotating. If you could make the things rotate because space-time was rotating, not because they were, then yes, but there's no mechanism we know of which could do that.
They're not heavy enough and won't sink to bottom as fast as other watchers do.

You can limit prep time to almost nothing with canned, frozen, or dehydrated produce and still come out ahead of the heavily processed stuff. If you are cooking with whole grains it can take a while, although buckwheat, (proso) millet (and other tiny grains), wild rice, and many lentils are fairly quick and more aren't too bad in a pressure cooker, although it still takes an hour until it is ready to eat. With electric pressure cookers you can just push a button and wait until it is done, although you should stay in ear shot for those rare cases where it doesn't seal fully correctly or the contents bubble out. Spending more time at the computer makes this easier, not harder, although of course the variety is limited vs stuff that takes more effort (however many people can enjoy various entertainment while cooking).

I'm suspicious that a big part of the issue is that advertising has convinced many people that cooking is necessarily more difficult than it actually can be. Particularly cooking for one person can be quite easy, although it gets harder with multiple people with different tastes.

Fruit is usually somewhat expensive in the US, although still quite a good deal compared to even poverty line income. Unfortunately, it seems like there has been a division where only membership-oriented or online stores have decent bulk while everywhere else tries to sell tiny quantities of grains, lentils, beans, and various other stuff.
It seems owners often post these videos to create Internet outrage in the hope Tesla will cave and pay for their totaled car. Enabling FSD in such bad weather conditions and then not being able to hit the brakes on time is mainly the fault of the operator. In the video they had at least 4 seconds to react to the situation, but for some reason they let the car speed ahead merrily.
Yeah thats because then they don‘t really look at it and certainly don‘t really understand it.

In some way reviewing code is more complicated and hard than actually writing it.

Hi there,

I'm Piotr and I built an app where you can create realistic visualizations of your concepts like cars, products, houses, interiors.

Yeah, I used to perform similar mental gymnastics too. Interestingly, it's very similar to the behaviour of addicts. Unfortunately, the way poor people lived 3 generations ago has absolutely nothing to do with how fat, rich people live today. What's next? No vaccines? No pasteurisation? This line of reasoning is a very slippery slope.

Hunting is different for a couple of reasons. First, you're almost certainly talking about killing from a distance with a gun. But it's also quite different to hunt a wild animal rather than raise a domestic animal just to kill it. But also some "hunting" is basically a simulation using released domestic animals (see pheasant shooting in the UK). And some is just downright cruel (see fox hunting in the UK or shooting of birds in Malta). Nobody is doing the slaughter for fun, though. It's always guns or dogs doing the dirty work. Funny that.
