I have feelings about Stray... What an awesome game it could have been!

I played it with one of my daughers. Lovely father/daughter playing session. Guiding the cat through the maze/puzzles. Cat can't fall, it's just calm and nice.

And then, out of nowhere - blinking screaming wildly stressful and awful rats come chase us.

My daughter dropped the controller, I played it through. But after that the game lost its charm. The second time the rats came, she left. We never played it again.

I checked if there was some "please don't ever give me rats" setting, but nope. I checked with a friend and they said the rats appear throughout the game.

So I'm really sorry, but stray is a 1/10 game for me. Remove the rats and its 9/10.

What is the purpose of the rats? It's an arcade moment in a game that was nice, calm, cute and relaxing. Totally breaks the contract that I felt was established with us as players.

>Classical liberalism suffers from the same issues, and systems designed by classical liberals also often get subverted by minority interests.

Yes but in classical liberal states, when the minority interests subvert established norms, it very rarely leads down a path of mass bloodshed and wanton destruction. In heavily authoritarian communist revolutions, one mistake of letting the "more extreme" (because even the less extreme figures in these kinds of regimes tend to also be fanatics) reach power gives you a regime like Mao's or Stalin's. Even in less extreme examples, few people would call a government like Castro's preferable, or claim that if Trotsky had come to power, then repression and mass shooting would have ended in the USSR.

Beyond just ideology, the type of state institutions and their fundamental tendencies of respect for the rule of law (or a lack of this respect) are important factors in deciding how far the unscrupulous can go even if they do come to power.

This is why in a country like the U.S. with very stable liberal traditions and strong state institutions built with these traditions in mind (if imperfectly), having someone like a Nixon or Trump get into power gives results that are nowhere near as bad as they are when a Hitler, Castro, Mao or Lenin comes to power in a country with much weaker bulwarks of liberal history.
Well now I feel compelled to make a Gothenburg-centric remark, ha ha.

I literally swam not far from the archipelago pier last weekend, and there are many swimmable lakes around the city. Since we're talking about swimming in the city, the best option is likely the brand new public spot in Frihamnen [1].

Unity has eliminated its controversial runtime fee
So many manhours spent on finding better ways to shovel around money and pocket what falls from the cracks.

What a wasteful and unproductive enterprise, considering the vast majority of the devised improvements never see the public eye.

Still, impressive work. Imagine if those brilliant minds behind this were focused somewhere else.
I agree with you, but consider the "outplaying your contract" and bad blood via arbitration problem we see in more and more (American) sports. Tech jobs aren't like being a plumber, one can't exactly say you need X amount of hours to be ready to do something, even only in the eyes of the law.
Thanks for the feedback! You're right, many technical users could likely roll their own solution, and for one-off projects, that's a valid approach. However, after working on this for a while, I've found that building a more generic and flexible solution is definitely not a simple task. The goal with SnazzyPDF is to hide the more complicated bits like the layout and consistent formatting of deeply nested JSON, without the need for maintenance. It's aimed for the people who value saving time over building from scratch. I know, maybe it's not really for the most hacker-minded.

Regarding the page/file size limits, that's helpful input. I have set the current limits based on my own experience but haven't had much opportunity to validate them yet. I’ll definitely take another look and try to find a good balance.
I also feel like a lot of companies and managers overestimate how important their services are. A lot of time it's about managers saving face or having a record to prove to the boss. When you're working on something stupid after hours merely because your boss told you it is down it is just maddening. It's a fire that no one cares about, but you have to put it out IMMEDIATELY.

Now sometimes you just need things to work, but at least set up a proper on call rotation, shifts, or whatever. But most people honestly don't need this.
Yes, swarm is not deprecated. I haven't used it myself yet, but I read elsewhere that swarm offers an easy way to manage secrets with containers. Some people run their 1 container in a swarm cluster with 1 node just for this feature. I see it's even officially suggested as a Note in the doc:

> Docker secrets are only available to swarm services, not to standalone containers. To use this feature, *consider adapting your container to run as a service. Stateful containers can typically run with a scale of 1 without changing the container code.*

(Emphasis mine. From https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/ )

> Then keeping on top of the news for the rest of your life to see if your password manager is going down the gurgler or been hacked. Also, will my passwords be available when I travel to a country with restricted internet? Who knows. Can I export my passwords to any other password manager or a text file if I need migrate? That's part of the research needed to even get started using a password manager.

These are pretty much the exact reasons I created https://github.com/conradkleinespel/rooster. It's a simple password manager for the command line. It's offline. It's open source. It's stable. It can export passwords to plain text in different formats.

And its feature-set is intentionally limited, so I can maintain it with little work, to avoid it going down the gurgler. It's been available and maintained since 2015.

> If I were to see you walking in my neighborhood with your AirPods I would probably not bother saying hi unless I already knew you.

You can still do a slight but friendly wave or nod. That would open the door for them to verbalise a “hi” or “good morning” and strike up a conversation. And it only needs to happen once for you to know.

Also, anecdotally, over a decade ago I used to wear non-white headphones or earphones in public frequently. Yet I was still accosted by strangers all the time, asking for directions or other information, when there were plenty of other people around with nothing in their ears. Still I tried to always be helpful and friendly, even if it could get tiresome: I was always listening to a book, not music, so interruptions were meaningful distractions.
I'm not convinced that the bottom tier brands provide good value for the money. Their picture quality is generally very poor relative to the more expensive TVs. (i.e. a bottom tier brand tv vs a bottom tier samsung/LG TV might be competitive in terms of price/quality, but the jump in quality to the higher level TVs they make is huge relative.

Also the bottom tier models are not well supported at all (i.e. security updates and the like).

In the US the mid tier (i.e. upper end models from TCL/Hisense and the like) are where the real question of bang for the buck can be applied.
With the AirPods now officially becoming hearing aids, it will hopefully reduce the stigma and attitude towards hearing aids and allow many more people to realize how bad their hearing actually is.

I have been wearing hearing aids for a few years now (Phonak). I've also used the AirPods Pro with the accessibility audiogram feature (basically making them hearing aids), which is really good and has also been around for a few years. I'm very glad, that Apple has made this official and even gotten FDA approval.

When I started to loose my hearing a decade ago, for a long time I refused to wear hearing aids, probably due to the perceived stigma. Even though it made life harder and harder -- imagine work meetings with a mumbling boss or me accusing my family to intentionally whisper -- it took years to change my mind. In hindsight I should have gotten hearing aids years sooner.

My 'real' hearing aids are nothing short of a technological marvel. They are tiny and run for a few days on zinc-air batteries (312/Costco but made by Varta), while providing all-day BT streaming. Btw, funny how most hearing aid brands come from Denmark. In contrast, the AirPods run out after a few hours and are also destined to become landfill due to their built in battery.
And it has to be cloud agnostic because we can’t get locked in!

>My conclusion at the time was that either "spatial reasoning" doesn't work and/or planning is needed. Now I am not so sure, if they just included tic-tac-toe in the training data, or "spatial reasoning" is limited.

I think it's much simpler than that.

1. With enough training data you can know all winning, losing and drawn games of tic-tac-toe. Even if you don't see all of them in your training data, the properties of the game, make a lot of games equivalent if you don't care about the symbol being used for each player or the rotated/reflected version of the same game.

2. The game is so common that it's definitely well represented in training data.

3. With extra "reasoning steps" there can be a certain amount of error correction on the logic now. But it's still not equivalent to spatial reasoning, but it can try a few patterns to see which will win.

4. 3x5 grid is probably uncommon enough that the training data doesn't cover enough games that it can properly extrapolate from there. But it can still with a certain probability check the rules (3 in a row/diagonal/column for winning).

5. It might be good to also test alternative grids with more or less than 3 in the other dimension as well, since this necessitates a rule change. Which would make it more difficult to reason about it.
thank you for the repo, I've been wanting to learn haskell but I didn't really know what can I build with, i might as well build some similar things like this since I've been trying to make my own blog server, now i get a chance to learn haskell and finally get up and build this.
The same thing that happened to devops from 2017-2024 (see: https://logical.li/blog/devops/) is happening with dataops. Hype train and jargon based decisions are taking place.

In the past years I was solving a data pipeline mess on a project which also had a devops AWS mess. First thing I was told was "what we need is a data lake".

Decisions are sticky so take context into account.
As far as I understand it isn't Stripe setting policy on this, it's Mastercard/Visa. Though presumably, ultimately, it's really government.
What data shortage problem? I'm not convinced that a shortage of data is the problem with current generation LLMs. This isn't like robotics where every robot is unique and you had to historically start from scratch every time you changed to a different robot. It's more likely that we are running into some sort of generalization bottleneck, because the training process is operating without feedback on the information/semantic level. There is no loss function for "does the code compile?". Instead, the loss function checks "does the output conform to the dataset?".
It seems you just wanted a different game than what Stray is.

A large amount of those people are very young, at an age where you don't really pick your options solely on their super long term consequences.

Most people are going to be "stupid" in their early adulthood, failing and adjusting is a big part of it. Unfortunately, some of those decisions will stick more than others and sex work is very sticky (zing).
The literal truth can hardly be a "propaganda line". More constructive criticisms are 1) private sector could have done better with the same finance (ultimately - resources); and 2) interest on that is paying basic income to people that already have money. I am sympathetic to both. So - the debt itself is a signal, a symptom. The solution is not to treat the symptom, but the causes. On 1) - you can say the state needs to do less. Just go down the list of things the state does, and propose those be reduced. From that PoV, the federal gov being "insurance company with and army" is basically correct. So to reduce gov spending, need to look at those two top of the list items. On 2) - that's easier imo. The IR rate is a decision, a vote, by a monopolist, controlled ultimately by the legislature. Just reduce the IR if that's an issue. Then fight inflation (if needed) with other means. People have forgotten that - but can relearn quickly.

Serious question for you, why use Docker at all? You can just get rid of the clunky overhead.

You mentioned Python backend, so literally just replicate build script, directly in VPS: "pip install requirements.txt" > python main.py" > nano /etc/systemd/system/myservice.service > systemd start myservice > Tada.

You can scale instances by just throwing those commands in a bash script (build_my_app.sh) = You're new dockerfile...install on any server in xx-xxx seconds.
One of my kids was born with a slight hearing loss and I think this is huge.

We got from the local health service some basic hearing aids that cost around 1000 euro but we are contemplating buying some high-end Phonak devices that are around 5000 euro as recommended by some experts.

In comparison to this the AirPods (280 euro?) are almost free.
No argument. They've definitely had a good eye for meaningful and emotive adventure games.

It's hard for me to not imagine a quiet early evening setting in some modest cafe in central Vienna at this time, in which A skinny young Austrian, living close to the edge of deep poverty, sits down for a bowl of soup, notices that he has no salt at hand, and signals over to the moderately older, rougher looking pockmarked man with a vaguely central Asian cast to his face at the next table that he should lend him his salt.

And then there they sit in their respective bubbles of poverty and social obscurity, meters apart, two of the greatest butchers of the 20th century, who in less than 30 years would each be leading millions of men to their deaths in destroying the others regime while carving Europe with rivers of blood.
Hey, at least we had one of them working on TempleOS.
It's not "to make ends meet". OF work allows people with no skills to get income in line with the top 10th or even 1st percentile of the population.

Would you rather be flipping burgers all day for 30k or would you rather take a few nudes every week and make 300k?
Courts have had little hesitation to decide these matters themselves for a long time - check out "Bite Mark Analysis" or any number of trials involving medical evidence. While I do think that they need to consider scientific matters they are vastly overconfident in the conclusions reached.
I can't help but feel that saying "it's just RL" is like someone at the start of the 20th century saying "it's just electricity", as if understanding the underlying mechanism is the same as understanding the applications it can enable.
Thank you for the feedback! I agree, the niche seems pretty small. But I think there are not so many other options for this use case. At least I feel that creating a template and fitting your data into it is a different use case than throwing an arbitrary JSON against an API and getting a PDF document out straight away.

Open sourcing the project is not something that I have decided against. Maybe it could drive more adoption. I've found Chrome to be the best tool for PDF creation in this use case, so the API is actually running a pool of Chrome instances that are used for the rendering. This makes self-hosting slightly more complicated.
So, there is no chance to answer the original question incorrectly by picking any specific order.

Logically speaking, the original problem has just one interpretation, i hope you would agree it is by no means ambiguous:

((a / b / c) = a + b + c) | ((a / c / b) = a + b + c) | ((b / a / c) = a + b + c) | ((b / c / a) = a + b + c) | ((c / a / b) = a + b + c) | ((c / b / a) = a + b + c) | ...(other 6 combinations) = true

This interpretation would indeed find all possible solutions to the problem, accounting for any potential ambiguity in the division order.
> which parts of intelligence do you think are not representable as conditional probability distributions

Maybe I'm wrong here but a lot of our brilliance comes from acting against the statistical consensus. What I mean is, Nicolaus Copernicus probably consumed a lot of knowledge on how the Earth is the center of the universe etc. and probably nothing contradicting that notion. Can a LLM do that ?
A Few Thoughts about O1
Not the parent company, but the game team that resigned is in a better position. They can continue focus on building games, instead of being 'integrated' with the TV, film and theater people (I bet most of that 'integration' is about 'outsourcing' CGI work to the 3D artists in the game team - e.g. a distraction from making games).
Maybe Square would be interested for Final Fantasy!
I guess what some people do not understand is that K8s was created internally at Google, for managing their services and handling millions of users.

For new projects that, with luck, will have a couple hundred users at the beginning it is just overkilling (and also very expensive).

My approach is usually Vercel + some AWS/Hetzner instance running the services with docker-compose inside or sometimes even just a system service that starts with the instance. That's just enough. I like to use Vercel when deploying web apps because it is free for this scale and also saves me time with continuous deployment without having to ssh into the instances, fetch the new code and restart the service.

It's more like they have invented a computer, an extremely versatile and powerful tool that can be used in many ways, but is not a solution to every problem.

My point is the previous "intelligent" failed at simple task, the new one will also fail on simple tasks.

That's ok for humans but not for machines.
Think about it not in terms of timing but in terms of instruction. Parallelism requires that different instructions can occur with resource independence. In JavaScript that requires something like web workers or Node clusters. Concurrency merely means one task does not block another, which is less restrictive and more commonly available through the event loop.
They skip the node means no customer demand an no incoming money. If 18A is merely meh, they run out of money, and 14A never happens. Someone else buys the assets and Intel will not compete with Samsung or TSMC.
