> You're also not mentioning the fact that the mismanagement of the 19th century was in large part due to foreign actors.

Well, yes.. Since Poland/Lithuania wasn't an independent state anymore and Poland lost most of its autonomy after the uprising in 1830 and 63 I would agree it was not only in large part but almost entirely due to foreign actors.

> The Russian Empire literally tried to eradicate the Polish language.

As I said, in relative terms. The Russian Empire was of course highly oppressive and put in a lot of effort suppressing the local Polish landholders/nobility because they were the biggest political threat. Peasants (i.e. the overwhelming majority of the population) were one of the main beneficiaries of this, getting to buyout their land at a significant discount if not outright for free.

By the 1900s in Congress Poland over 60% of land was owned by peasants and small landholders, I find it hard to believe that would have happened without foreign intervention so it's not like it was entirely black and white.

> You don't seem to know much of what you're talking about

Not sure about that, you do seem to lack nuance to a rather severe degree, though
The beauty of procedural animation is not thas it's realistic, but that very simple principles allow for good-enough results. It's something used for videogames or presentations, not simulations.

TL;DR: animation by simplistic algorithms is a beautiful technique, but a lousy simulator.
I agree. Just letting you know that, most likely, the people you are learning about “side effects” from don’t actually mean “side effect” in the colloquial sense of “state changes beyond the expectation”.

They mean literally any change at all. If your function is named addOne(&x), then they consider the result of x being one greater to be a “side effect”, whereas I suspect actually sane people such as yourself would not see that as a side effect.

This type of definition fuckery is one reason (among many), that I’ve come to fully disrespect functional programming communities.

One thing that also needs to be understood is that side effects (to your definition) are not explicitly bad things. Side effects ignoring boundaries, ignoring APIs, holding references, etc are probably mostly bad though.

In fact, in gaming, providing hooks to empower side effects is often explicitly good for granting designers mechanic freedom.
You're describing a puzzle from the Curse of Monkey Island, aka Monkey Island 3. Ron Gilbert had no involvement there.
Pyright and mypy are typecheckers, completely orthogonal to the interpreter. They work like linters that statically perform type checking. By default, Python's type hints are ignored at runtime (i.e. you can do `x: str = 2`, and the runtime doesn't care), but there are tools to perform runtime checks (e.g. beartype) and libraries that make use of types as metadata (e.g. dataclasses, Pydantic, FastAPI).

Ask HN: Simple AI Startup Ideas That Will Instantly Make Money?
Hi HN!

I am looking for simple straight-forward AI Startup Ideas.

Something that can make money right from the start (I realize it can take some time to get going but the business model should clearly work).

Not necessarily a startup/company but perhaps even a desperately needed tool/software.

Idea Characteristics:

1. Requires no VC Funding.
2. Very clear business problem that can be solved with [your] simple product idea
3. Preferably B2B but consumer is good too.
4. Something a very small team could build/run 1-3 people max.

Why? Well, I have to prove something to a few people here with me and just for fun but if I find something good, I might build one or two.

Thank you!
That’s not Monkey Island 2 (Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge), it’s Monkey Island 3 (The Curse of Monkey Island), which Ron Gilbert was not involved with (I believe).
Your microkernel. I expect the intended point of comparison was “principled and pure”, not “unsuitable for general use”.
Correct. Although I'm recently seeing some get little bits shaved off, seemingly for programs, and some early releases to mandatory halfway houses. It's crumbs, though. Don't mess with the feds.

Happy to see some positive news stories regarding Ozempic/Semaglutide.

I really dislike that most stories try to taint it in the "diet trend", "TikTok challenge" light, obesity is a serious illness which is extremely unhealthy and leads to many many preventable deaths, this drug is a miracle.

And yeah, there shortages, but then the drug stores shall give out this drug to those who need it the most, and not who pays the most. It's not like the US healthcare system is fair anyways. And also the suppliers can ramp up production (as they are already doing).

Friendly reminder: The STEP 5 trial of semaglutide showed that even in long-term usage a sort of "cutoff" BMI is reached, so even skinny/normal bodied people who take semaglutide don't drop to an anorexic level BMI, but stay above the 18.5 line (after which you are considered underweight) [1].

No explanation of "cool" is discouraged in this boring forum.
I’m really not sure what you’re trying to say. I never said it was an ‘oopsies’? In fact, I said you needed to decide which option to take. But it’s up to you.

And Goodwill is definitely sellable/marketable in most cases, as it includes a number of valuable things like IP, brand value, etc. and typically occurs to track those things when an acquisition happens and someone pays money for them.

And it gets concrete dollar amounts.

You’re just flailing around, F-. And you definitely need a better accountant.

Indeed, here here. As manufacturing capacity ramps up, and cost approaches $1-$5/month/person, it is an antidote against an economy wired to profit off of miswired reward centers. Success is comin'. Healthier humans, less spending on poor nutrition, lower healthcare costs and improved health at scale. There is even robust evidence that GLP-1 agonists reduce addictive consumption of alcohol, nicotine, and opioids [1] [2].

It's the next metformin imho (cost to benefit ratio). We should be scaling up production like it's a war effort.

GLP-1 drugs can reach vastly more patients than existing medications and they have positive mental health benefits for anxiety and depression. 3. This is our first ever opportunity to make a big dent in the addiction crisis, which kills 770,000 people a year between opioids, cigarettes, and alcohol.")
If the noise is repetitive and predicable (like from a motor) and the environment is relatively stable, I think there are existing industrial noise cancelation systems that can do that. Some cars have that built in too.

How so? Wouldn't that, at the very least, solve homelessness?
"No testable predictions" is shorthand for "makes no testable prediction that don't match our other theories, making it impossible to distinguish between string theory and relativity+QM". We know the latter doesn't really work, but without the ability to distinguish, it isn't clear that string theory "works" either. It really needs a solid new testable prediction.

> It was immediately obvious to me that Uber would go "oh, you need to go to the hospital, you'll pay more", preying on the need.

That's certainly possible, but does not seem immediately obvious at all. Market prices move upward due to both increases in demand and decreases in supply.

It's entirely possible, especially given the driver's comments, that many Uber drivers who would otherwise be active already had switched off -- in other words, supply had already shrunk in response to low demand -- so you may simply have been facing low availability of drivers at that moment.
A good example for lulz is https://github.com/zevweiss/booze, a FUSE binding for bash.

Aside: I've wondered aloud if we could figure out how to systemically compile coreutils into true bash builtins for performance benefits in nix builds, but someone did rightly point out that builtins can't be completely fungible with a separate process in all cases, especially where stuff like pipelines are involved. I don't recall the exact details and couldn't readily find the conversation but IIRC it had to do with signal handling.

Thank you! I hope you find it helpful.
once you learn that term, you see it everywhere in games.

Two that always bug me:

- game narrative introduces urgency (“we have to hurry up and catch X before it’s too late!”), but time doesn’t matter at all. And in fact you’re encouraged to grind away on sidequest and collect items before continuing that urgent main story

- early game has a city surrounded by weak monsters and some local needs you to hunt down a few that have been bothering them. two towns over there’s another town of normal people surrounded by monsters 100x stronger but they don’t care or need your help.
We might imagine a future where US and UK grocery stores aren't 3/4 alcohol and junk food.
Because the person they replied to used a term like Apple Linux which is ridiculous. So somebody on the internet was wrong and needed to be corrected
I highly recommend “Working” by Robert Caro, his latest book.

It’s an excellent book to start with if you want to get an exposure to his way of working and his thinking.
That's true, they have huge demographics issues. But the west has them too at different extent.

Also, Chinese don't operate on western principles therefore you can't expect same outcomes. Aging population issues are much different when you have enough production base that can sustain old people with small number of young people(they no longer rely on manual labour as much as they used to). In the west aging population means reduction in consumption(therefore reduced investments, economy slowdown etc.), but in countries like China that doesn't have to be a problem, they can simply keep producing as needed. When the west was preoccupied with investing all the money into optimising advertisement, they invested in wast infrastructure.

I'm personally more concerned about the west than China. Well, of course I would be since I'm part of the west but yeah I think you get the point.
> Does that guarantee this is safe to do?

There are no guarantees or anything when it comes to Putin not reacting to something done against him, but it is a certainty that he will escalate if not pushed back, because that has been both his personal and his country's M.O. for decades.

At the end this is a risk we have to be willing to take, otherwise it will be the Baltics next that's up for grabs. Or maybe Hungary, that one won't even need soldiers the way Orban is going.
I think the general rule is that if the amount that the person is embezzling is less than the anticipated PR cost to the organization (of the embezzlement being public knowledge), then the organization will seek to not draw attention to it.
IMO no. There are enough people who will vouch.
I almost added on Pokemon to my comment! Agreed. Though I will say it's depressing to see the party you spent the whole game with is genetically inferior (low IVs) and you have to breed a whole new set to play competitively (or cheat, or use Pokemon Showdown instead of a real game), and that the breeding process has a lot of luck involved and takes ages. I think they improved this in more recent games with ways to raise your IVs, but it made me burn out on the series and stop playing at least once. I haven't played the Switch ones yet. When I was last playing through a Pokemon game, I think it was Sun, I planned out my final party and movesets for them in advance so I knew what TMs I had to find and which 'mons to catch on which routes.

I’m looking forward to see it how modern language models can improve these games.

One peeve I’ve always had is that in a game like disco elysium, I don’t feel like I (the player) am solving a mystery because dialogue trees are always leading you to the answer. Instead I’m just watching the guy on the screen solve it. Dialogue with an explicit tree would be rad

Citizens have to obey their country's laws (restriction of freedom) in exchange for government taking care of essential human needs like housing, clean water, electricity, food, and so on (obligation of the government).

If a citizen cannot get access to those needs (and remember - 5% unemployment is optimal), then why would anyone expect them to keep following their country' laws, and not steal and murder?
As embarrassing and disappointing as it must be for Canadians, the fact their team put drone operation skills in a job advertisement is honestly hilarious.

There was an article in Nature the other year about AMOC periodicity across a long term timescale. Apparently you get high temperatures, then instability, then a gulf stream reversal every few thousand years, followed by glaciers coming south.

Long term temperature increase due to complex systems like AMOC could explain why we see measurable linear temperature increases starting in the 1880s, instead of the 1940s as CO2 forcing might predict, have historical evidence of extremely cold weather in classical Europe (frozen Rhine, etc.), and have evidence of warmer temperatures than today with the Holocene maximum about 8,000 years ago.
Indeed, though it's also true that the Germans should be held accountable for their own actions during the war, and not solely held responsible for WWI itself, which was a continent-wide effort.
For the longest time, laws in my State prohibited grocery stores from carrying any alcohol, but that has changed.

Now new laws are in place to not allow for example random baskets of wine to just be plunked in random isles as it all got ridiculous how much alcohol was being pushed out.

I'll venture a couple guesses.

1) Humboldt's university reforms creating graduate education and research universities. This doesn't explain the seed of German intellectual activity as it was a relatively late development, but it does explain the institutionalization of German intellectual activity. As to the seed...

2) German was the language with the most literate speakers in Europe during the Enlightenment. For a few centuries after the Reformation, Protestant regions did have higher rates of literacy than Catholic or Orthodox regions, and Germans were the most numerous of the Protestant cultural-linguistic groups.

No, not really. Like the A-10, USAF wants to retire its legacy platform for years now and congress has been blocking it. Its budget wants to stop buying any F-15 after 2025. And F-15EX is assigned to national guard bases first before active duty. My guess is that F-15EX will serve as home defense fighter first.

USAF wants NGAD badly, they have a gap in their weapon platform right now. They don't want to invest more into F-22s or F15s, which congress wants them to. They need the next gen capability to maintain air superiority in combat, especially against China and future drone warfare.
No surprise here. I am on Saxenda right now and my savings from groceries exceed the cost of the drug.
I wonder if they're allowed to withdraw without consequence. I can't imagine the IOC would be thrilled about two matches being canceled, particularly one against France which will probably see over ten thousand fans.

And though your point of setting an example is completely fair, I can easily imagine the IOC saying they refused to play as they couldn't win anyway.

This is really hilarious actually.

Because this was all due to a change of the rules on existing behaviors, and created a new capital asset which previously didn’t need to be recognized.

And because you seem to be saying ‘suck it up’, which of course sure whatever. Business is what it is, and folks get what they get.

But of course what is going to happen is the related companies are just going to fire some people/lay them off, or go bankrupt and then do that to everyone.

I don’t actually care - I pivoted in a way it benefits me several years back - but what else does anyone expect to happen?

Then the whining and finger pointing happens of course on the state of the labor market, and no one ever points one back to themselves. shrug

You don’t feel paranoid because the discovery phase is gradual. You don’t wake up one morning and find a loophole. It takes time exploring it from different angles. And that time provides you with the mindset not to worry about the consequences.

And they missed the West imposing sanctions on Iran, Iraq, Yugoslavia, South Africa and many other countries in the past?

Russia's position in the global economy is radically different to that of China's. Especially from the perspective of the US, which lost almost nothing by imposing sanctions on Russia (the brunt of the costs was borne by Europe), arguably it actually benefited from them. In China's case it would be very different.

Of course if US and its allies managed to somehow economically untangle themselves from China well. That would depend.

In any case.. If China is really concerned with this they could just start by leaving Taiwan alone, that would significantly reduce any tension.
Is the kernel really the differentiator there? seL4 is a Proven microkernel that is some 9000 lines of C. This ancient SO post[0] claims Linux is 140k lines. The kernel is just a tiny component of the many things required to get an OS up and running. I suspect most projects just peter out as the enormity of the complexity becomes apparent.
