And yet, the win32 is the only one that is confirmed to work.
Example: Game Neo Scavenger is available for linux with binaries for them. They dont work in any modern linux because (I believe) they were compiled for a 32bits version of linux.

Do you know how you can play the game on linux?
Yes, using the windows version with lutris, which is 32bits too.

Then you have rollbacks and rubberbanding, and UI elements that fired which aren't valid once the physics interactions have resolved serverside.

Video games are gonna be wild in the near future. You could have one person talking to a model producing something that's on par with a AAA title from today. Imagine the 2d sidescroller boom on Steam but with immersive photorealistic 3d games with hyper-realistic physics (water flow, fire that spreads, tornados) and full deformability and buildability because the model is pretrained with real world videos. Your game is just a "style" that tweaks some priors on look, settings, and story.
> the "conflict free" decision is not necessarily the correct decision. It's merely a consistent one.

Yep. But there's no reason you couldn't build a system that supports both approaches - conflict-free when live pair programming, but conflicts are still generated when merging long lived branches. As I say, text CRDTs store all the data needed to do this. Just, nobody (as far as I know) has built that.

The E2E encrypted comms are a red herring. There is plenty on Telegram that is public, plaintext and presumably illegal.

If Telegram refused to respond (note: not bend over and comply, just respond) to French legal requests in respect of plaintext criminal behaviour the way any other company would and should, that’s somewhat damning. If Durov went above and beyond and interacted with that content, his goose—as the author put it—is cooked.

There is a high level of server load for this as well, not only placing these fake characters but making them move and act like real human players so they are believed and then culling them (server would cull them not the client to be clear because how would the client know to cull them without a flag?) only right before they are visible while taking account of lag (ping), interp, packet loss etc..

I definitely could see someone games doing this as a one-off to just catch specific cheaters they are suspicious of to confirm they are cheating (Many 3rd party anti-cheats in counter strike and the 1st party valorant anti-cheat do manual bans based on replay reviews) but also since they already do fog of war someone with wall hack seeing an enemy player pop in for 1 frame before disappearing would make it not effective on a wide scale.

There's a similar theme running in his "Fall; or Dodge in Hell" book where a fake nuclear attack and subsequent social media storm leads to a collapse of the internet and the emergence of its replacement based on human or automated editors filtering out all the "crap". This then leads to confirmation bubbles where people believe whatever they want to believe because their edit streams lock them into whatever they want to hear. Ku clux klan like militias taking control of rural parts of "Ameristan" and people keep on remembering the victims of a nuclear attack that never happened.

He published that book just before the first Trump administration. A lot of the stuff that probably seemed a bit overly dramatic at the time has actually happened. People disagreeing about the last election outcome would be a prime example of some alternate truth that seems hard to weed out. And a lot of that is of course fueled by quite intentional media coverage sponsored by the likes of North Korea, Russia, and China who have definitely been trying to militarize misinformation for quite some time and run bots on a large scale on social media platforms.

I am not angry, and not a victim. Maybe you're making up an image in your mind?

The discourse as I interpreted it, was that there was a need to censor those who are expressing opinions that are not "legitimate".
The slogan "Tax the rich" is one of those ideas that seems straightforward and appealing at first glance, but it quickly falls apart under closer scrutiny. It's a simplistic solution often promoted by those who lack a deeper understanding of politics and economics. The notion that all of a country's problems can be solved by simply taking more money from "the rich" is fundamentally flawed.

First of all, the revenue generated from taxing the wealthy would be surprisingly small in comparison to the overall government budget. While some might argue that "every little bit helps," this ignores the negative consequences of increased taxes on high earners, a reality that many prefer to overlook. History has repeatedly shown that societies leaning too heavily on state control, as seen in failed communist experiments, suffer when individual initiative and enterprise are stifled.

Moreover, societal problems are complex, and simply throwing more money at them rarely yields meaningful results. Effective politics is about making informed choices and sound decisions, not resorting to oversimplified slogans. The hard left's reflexive call to "Tax the rich more!" as a catch-all solution is not just naïve—it's intellectually bankrupt.
Seeing the hierarchical structure used I wonder if they tried using nested set instead. No idea if a possible gain in read operation would offset the losses in insertions.
Fire everyone at NASA involved in "project management" that allowed this to happen:

>For the ML-2 project’s first 5 years, NASA lacked a reliable cost and schedule estimate, making it difficult for the Agency to accurately identify ML-2 budget requirements, be accountable to Congress and other stakeholders, and accurately measure project and contractor performance.

Absolute dereliction of duty and complete incompetence. Bechtel has literally no _true_ incentive to deliver on time: the "awards" are folly and they've been awarded some of them even despite this abysmal performance. Instead, you can inflate the "cost" part of "cost plus" and just continue to suck on the teat of the taxpayer, while blaming supply chain and other challenges, all to not build what amounts to a several hundred foot tall elevator. (Obviously a gross simplification; I understand there are interconnected data, electrical, hydraulic, fluid, and other systems, along with being immediately adjacent an extremely high-thrust launch, but _still_.)
> The problem of homelessness is that people don’t have homes. It’s not something else. Give people homes and you solve it.

Have you considered how this is supposed to work? If being homeless means you get a free home, millions of people would purposely become "homeless" so they could eliminate their housing costs. Also, homes are quite expensive, especially in areas with high homelessness, so where does the money come from?

Meanwhile one of the primary actual causes of homelessness is zoning that prevents new housing from being built, causing people to be unable to afford it. If you just have the government buy up existing housing stock for the homeless, the scarcity is not resolved at all, you just cause new people to become homeless because you remove the housing they'd have bought from the market.

To actually solve it you can't just do the naive "have the government pay for it" thing, you have to understand the root cause, which is that you have to not just give housing to the homeless but build new housing across the overall market so it isn't in undersupply.

> Likewise, the problem of wealth inequality can only be solved by reducing wealth inequality. There is no other solution. Just tax rich people until they’re not rich anymore.

This is exactly the same level of not thinking it through. Mark Zuckerberg has billions and it gives him control over Facebook. But if you take his money and leave Facebook, someone will still be the CEO and that person will still have all of that power. The problem is not the money, it's the size of the company.
Don't get me wrong, this is probably great software, but there is a big field of tasks like reminder apps, calendar, note taking apps etc. for which I just use a plain free form text editor. I don't quite see what these tools offer, other than pretty user interfaces. And after taking the time to learn the new tools, there will still be cases when I won't have access to them, while plain text works everywhere
Another offender is Ubisoft, or more specifically the R6 Siege team. Battleye works perfectly fine on Linux - in fact, other Ubisoft teams have enabled Battleye-Linux support for their games (ex: For Honor) - but for whatever reason, the Siege team refuses to do so, even though it's one of the most upvoted issues on the bug tracker [1].

The linked site seems overloaded (it’s popular on Reddit right now) - is it the same article as this one? https://en.numere.org/home/blog/the-fall-of-stackoverflow

…if so, it was published a year ago: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/erik-h%C3%A4nel-6a44151a6_num...

*EDIT:* The linked site (with an ironic… or apt domain-name) finally loaded for me - it is a different article.

Interesting to compare conclusions though:

2023 article:

> In summary, it appears that the biggest contributor to "StackOverflow's fall" is not one of the two LLMs GPT3 or GPT4, but rather the market power of Google's algorithm. The latter's changes in May 2022 caused a significant drop in traffic that is much more significant than the effect of GPT. However, since traffic also provides advertising revenue, this can be a big problem in the future. […] Of course, this also reflects the previous analysis: most of the generally valid questions have already been answered (and their answers can also be generated by GPT). What remains are the few questions that are very specific.

2024 article:

> StackOverflow's decline was a result of issues within its model and execution, which predated ChatGPT's introduction. While ChatGPT may have accelerated this decline, it was not the sole cause. There are likely many factors contributing to StackOverflow's struggles, but AI alone cannot account for the entirety of its challenges.

They both kinda agree - if you squint a bit.

I believe future game engines will be state machines with deterministic algorithms that can be reproduced at any time. However, rendering said state into visual / auditory / etc. experiences will be taken over by AI models.

This will also allow players to easily customize what they experience without changing the core game loop.
Author here. I've had this conversation with people a lot. And people in the CRDT world also talk about it a lot. But in practice, at least with text editing, the overhead is so tiny that I can't imagine it ever coming up in practice. Diamond types - my post-CRDT project - does (by default) grow without bound over time. But the overhead is usually less than 1 byte for every character ever typed. If I turn on LZ4 compression on the stored text, documents edited with diamond types are often smaller than the resulting document state. Even though we store the entire editing history!

I know a bunch of ways to solve this technically. But I'm just not convinced its a real problem in most systems.

(I have heard of it being a problem for someone using yjs for a 3d modelling tool. While dragging objects, they created persistent edits with each pixel movement of the mouse. But I think its smarter to use ephemeral edits for stuff like that - which aren't supported by most crdt libraries.)

Git also suffers from this problem, by the way. Repositories only grow over time. And they grow way faster than they would if modern CRDT libraries were used instead. But nobody seems bothered by it. (Yes, you can do a shallow clone in git. But almost nobody does. And you could also do that with CRDTs as well if you want!)

To be completely frank, we haven't done anything to stop the rise of water temperature and acidification from CO2 absorption that prevent fish from reproducing, along with continuing overfishing. Most of these ecosystems will be dead from food chain collapse in a decade or two.

This is such a stupid argument. Is your issue that the number is too high? Why? What’s the right number?

Should government spend 25% percent of GDP? Who cares. Governments shouldn’t aim for a specific number, they should spend enough to make sure full employment is achieved, according to saving desires and the private market’s appetite for investment.

Whatever the private market isn’t willing to invest, the government should take care of.

Whether that’s 10% or 50% is literally irrelevant.
Mostly because business apps have to appear similar to the platform UI. Games do not, they have to look the same regardless of the platform in use.

And making a cross platform app framework which looks like native UI is much harder.

In contrast, Unity's UI systems are all terrible and looking native isn't even one of their goals.

You may have strong opinions on anti-cheat software and they may be correct, but it is required for playing certain online multi-player games, and people want to play those games on Linux too (especially the Steam Deck, I would presume). Ergo, people want anti-cheat software on Linux.

These are mobile while Starship’s towers are fixed. That alone massively increases the MLs’ complexity.

>The thing is we do know it can't happen. We had Chernobyl.

>It's the worst case for a runaway reactor.

No it was not. The worst case would have been that anyone involved with Chernobyl ran for their lives and abandoned the plant leaving it to burn to the ground, no sarcophagus was built, nobody spent billions on treating farmland all over europe, nobody destroyed animals unsuitable for human consumption for decades and nobody started screening for the excess cancer cases (which occurred everywhere in europe as well as behind the iron curtain) leaving them untreated until too late.

None of that happened, luckily, but it could. Instead people gave their lives at the scene and others have worked their entire careers since to prevent Chernobyl from actually becoming a "worst case scenario".

It is also a mistake to think that Chernobyl is a disaster in the past, it is not over yet. The latest sarcophagus was built not even a decade ago at a cost of over 2 billion USD. Why do you suppose that was deemed necessary?

Also, it is currently in a warzone.
The emphasis on simplicity, avoiding unnecessary features, and early testing is spot-on. I'll definitely keep these practices in mind for my next project.
