My biggest issue with Flight Simulator 2020 doesn’t seem to be addressed.

It contains tutorials on how to control the planes, but no storyline, no built in missions. If you are motivated by a narrative, this is not a game for you. It only does the simulation, but doesn’t really help people get into the game through a kind of narrative.

I have no desire to learn all the details of an aircrafts controls. I might have that, if there was a reason for me to learn those things, as a motivating story that would drag me in. I think it’s an enormous missed opportunity in terms of making the game appeal to a wider audience.

I still hope it will be there in 2024 edition, but this interview didn’t give me much hope.

Not if you are the group currently in the hot seat. First it was Irish and then Italians and then Jewish and then Japanese and then Black and then so on and so on.

Right now its probably Muslims and maybe in the future Chinese (I hope not).

They are on average more successful than their parents but all of that can be taken away in the blink of an eye and many would lose out in that scenario. Just ask the Japanese or Koreans (some of which never recovered from the concentration camps or the LA riots).

Essential Mindset Shifts for Software Developers: The Ultimate Guide
In the world of software development, it's easy to get lost in the code, to dive deep into the technical intricacies and lose sight of the bigger picture. But here’s the truth: writing brilliant code isn’t enough. In fact, it’s only a part of the equation. The most successful developers aren’t just tech wizards; they’re also deeply attuned to the world around them. They understand that software isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about solving the right problems for real people. This requires more than just technical prowess; it demands an open mind, a willingness to step outside the developer bubble, and a genuine curiosity about how people live, think, and interact with technology. In this article, we’ll explore why staying open-minded and connected to the broader world is not just important but essential for any developer who wants to create software that truly matters—and for those who want their careers to thrive in a rapidly changing industry.

Years ago--I think he was an IBM Fellow at the time--I had the privilege of hearing Jeff Jonas[1] speak.

He was discussing literal spatial indices, scanning the sky for stuff, and how one would break up the problem to make it computable.

Online communities can moderate as they see fit. I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the law banning certain content.

I've lived long enough to see certain kinds of content banned, and then embraced, and then a different kind of content be banned.

Which era is correct in their choice of banning?
Depends on whom you ask, but this case had a major effect on removing restrictions:

Prior to that, usury laws existed in most states that restricted consumer loans to something like 5-13%.

Personally I don’t have an issue with the concept of interest itself, but if you look at the huge amount of Americans in debt paying 20-30% on credit cards, it certainly seems excessive and usurious to me.

Most modern Debian/Ubuntu installations support overlayfs :

sudo apt install overlayroot

#edit the setup script vars

sudo nano /etc/overlayroot.conf

overlayroot="tmpfs:swap=1,recurse=0"

#set different role contexts for grub

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

GRUB_TIMEOUT=3

GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=$GRUB_TIMEOUT

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

GRUB_TERMINAL=console

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_READONLY="quiet splash i915.tuxedo_disable_psr2=1 i915.enable_psr=0 "

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.tuxedo_disable_psr2=1 i915.enable_psr=0 overlayroot=disabled fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes "

#etc...

#then insert an auto menu item for the read only OS boot up

sudo nano /etc/grub.d/10_linux

if [ "x$is_top_level" = xtrue ] && [ "x${GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU}" != xtrue ];

then

linux_entry "${OS}" "${version}" simple \
"${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX} ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT}"

linux_entry "${OS} READ ONLY OS" "${version}" simple \
"${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX} ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_READONLY}"

#etc...

#and finally enable the role selection with your current kernel

sudo update-grub

sudo update-initramfs -u

For systems that have enough ram and cheap SSD it ensures the flash memory will last longer. Additionally, running /home on F2FS for workstations can improve long-term hardware health, as Desktop users do not require the OS to be writable in many use-cases.

It is not a perfect approach, as silly things done as root can always bork the backing partition.

Gambling was already an issue 100 years ago, when we were closer to God, allegedly. "God" and religion also aren't particularly interested in gambling, or it would have been forbidden in those holy books. On the other hand, you can blame Protestantism directly for subverting individualism to greed, and hence for exploiting human frailty, such as gambling addiction.

The only working moral on this mortal coil is a dose of empathy for your fellow human (and if you can bring yourself to it: your fellow animal). It doesn't require a new mental model, just proper stewardship.
This boils down to a two question "should we as society allow a person to destroy his life." And because there is also a big external pressure from financially interested parties to convince a person to do things that are not beneficial to him, second question is "should we as society let smarter people fool less educated people out of their money/health/ happiness" (second one is more tricky) but low hanging fruits are advertisement for alcohol, gambling, smoking and other obviously non beneficial activities.
I have a trivial example: saying grace. As a lapsed catholic I found all manner of religious traditions extremely tedious as a child and especially as a teenager. I expunged all of them as soon as I turned 18. But recently we have been expressing gratitude before meals. This helps me slow down as I've always been a rapid eater and suffered indigestion; I also enjoy the food more as a result. The grace prayer is gratitude to God in whom I no longer believe. But I think acknowledging the enormous role played by pure chance in our lives is very important.

I’ve lost a great deal of working memory over the past few years as I’m just too reliant on offloading anything more than 2-3 bits of info onto a notepad or input box

If you ever observe a fine-dining waiter, they can easily remember and perfectly recall upwards of 20-40 bits of info (highly chunked though so likely only 5-10 I imagine). It’s just repeated practice daily.
Replacing the terminology is the first step to this methinks. You'll always be able to buy a bagel, but not a video game. It's still shitty, but it's not deceptively shitty.

No, the author said that the peak concurrent connections was 300k. That tells us there are at least that many vulnerable hosts publicly exploitable, but there could be many more that are transiently exploitable.

Also, this attack is easily triggered from any LAN, such as an airport or university or corporate or coffee shop network. And it is persistent: the attacker persistently registers a "printer" on your system (potentially overwriting a real printer that you actually have), and later when you print, even disconnected from the internet, you can trigger the RCE.

What is happening right now is so obvious that people have been predicting it for over 60 years. It is ingrained in our culture. Everyone knows what happens when the AI becomes smarter than us.

If you 'see no reason' then you are looking through a microscope. Lift your head up and look around. Agency isn't black and white, it is a gradient. We already have agency to some degree, and it is improving fast.
It's also important to not underestimate just how powerful lifestyle changes can be even in the face of (a lot of our potential) dire outcomes. Not sure about gums here specifically.

Reversing a condition once you have it is an order of magnitude more difficult to fix than to prevent, but if you're in luck and able to do so, every day now has the potential for taking a step in the right direction.

My favorite example of this is post-menopausal women regaining bone density, muscle mass, balance, mood etc. to rival women half their age in a matter of a few weeks (weight training). The same can be said for pre-diabetes, early T2, high blood pressure, addictions... the list goes on.

They are correct. Note that pedophiles, on average, discover their orientation at 14 years old. They first experienced it when they were just 12, on average.

42% of MAPs (minor attracted persons) had suicidal thoughts at 16 years old. 32% had concrete plans for ending their life, and 13% actually attempted to end their life.

The most common age of first suicide attempt for MAPs is 14 years old. Of those who attempted suicide, 36% were minors.

This is an interesting perspective, but sticking with the analogy, the situation may appeal more to the tasters than to the chefs, cookbooks, etc. The vast wilderness of mere facts does have some kind of savage beauty, but compressing that into coherent theory is more satisfying and sometimes useful!

Re: beavers in particular, it was cool to see that effort mentioned in the context of large scale collaborations and amateur+professional cooperation, and reflect on similar episodes in the history of science. Re: vast wilderness, computing and complexity is exactly where you’d expect to see natural-science style catalogues of funny looking phenomena due to the recency. Ahead of stuff like systematized comparative anatomy we gotta fill up the zoos and curio cabinets so the systematizers (who are themselves somewhat less likely to be explorers) have plenty of specimens to work with.
Just to test whether your OS setup etc is already up to par, try reading the whole file, eg by calculating the hash with something like `md5` (yes md5 is not secure I know.). This should put the file mostly in the os cache. But with video files being able to hit more than 50GiB in size these days, you need quite a lot of RAM to keep it all in cache.
Maybe you can setting the SSD as a scratch disk for swap? I’m not sure how/if you can tweak what it is used for.

If the people whose job it is to keep in contact with the customer and collect requirements don't know either, developer's guess is as good as theirs. Otherwise, individual developers may not be the best persons to decide all the details. You risk wasting time by doing the wrong thing either way.

> On the far other end of the spectrum is the slot machine - you pull a lever and wait.

In the narrowest view, sure. But, for example, not all casinos, hell not even all machines in the same casino, offer the same odds. What about the work you put into determining which machine offers the best outcome? Is that not a skill? Obviously you can just sit down at any old random machine and see what happens, but that's the same as your "zero skill" farmer throwing some uncertified seeds on the ground and hoping for the best. In both cases there is an opportunity to improve your chances of success if you so choose.

Some aspects of farming lean on skill, but other aspects are pure chance. "Pull the lever and wait" is often all you can do. I'm not sure you are being fair in diminishing slot machine playing down to just one event, while happily considering farming as the sum of all its events.
Sure, but assuming we remain a democracy, or some approximation of one, we're always going to be a bit schizophrenic in our policies. Any particular administration can try to go in one direction or the other, but they have to be aware that their successor (or the one after) could very well undo all their actions and take the exact opposite course.

So in terms of long term planning, I think hedging our bets make sense. It might be a good idea to invest in NATO, but we also don't want to be left in a highly vulnerable position in 10-20 years if NATO falls apart and our current allies stop giving us free trade agreements, because that's a real possibility.
chat has become a limiting factor.

its both too linear, and hard to revise. it's hard to undo parts of the conversation that poison it. it's too hard to save important bits that shouldn't be forgotten or drowned out. its not word processor like enough.

i envision the next generation of these products being multipane by default.

on the left I have a chat, in the center I have a whiteboard, and on the right I have a rendered document. throwing a clip of something onto the whiteboard makes it modifiable by chat. "store this, categorize it, summarize it, place it in the document."

whatever comes next needs to function more like onenote or obsidian. just to use an example from current events today, lets say I want to make a Parody Dossier on Walz, similar to todays Vance leak. I should be able to describe the project to chat. It builds a document structure. I tell it we are going to scrape all of the internets jokes on Walz at a bbq or other non-scandals. I should be able to quickly click through a table of contents, and "chat" with each paragraph. "This one needs fleshing out, this one needs summarization." As we scrape a reddit post, we want to incorporate not only the original post, but all the best comments. I should be a be able to "chat with the document editor" and put together a 200 page document in the amount of time it took me to write this post, just by describing what is and isnt working, and dragging and dropping.

chat, the simplicity of it, understanding of complex sentences, and multi sentence conversations was a UI paradigm leap. it went well past keyword search and the new command line of the internet. its a great first step, and a nice reset after a decade of interface stagnation, but now its ubiquity and simplicity, like the search box, is clouding peoples imagination and ability to dream up the next new interactive interface, which I expect to involve more mouse and visual relationships.

tldr: the llm is a component of the next generation interface, not the entire interface itself.
Maybe I have misunderstood the article, but for me it looks like another „cookies” law.

They are not proposing to force media companies to make sure you have access to your media forever. Or force them to give you a downloadable copy when they remove media from store. They’ll just replace „Buy” button with „Get Access” or whatever and add some lawyer mumbo-jumbo above it.

Looks like a smokescreen to me.
This is disingenuously stretching the definition.

Gambling, in a colloquial and legal sense, generally refers to putting in money for a game of mostly luck or beyond your control in hopes of getting a payout. The less influence you have over it, the faster the payout (or loss), and the higher the chance is of you coming out at a loss, the more strongly it fits into the understood definition of gambling.

Doing anything that takes a risk isn't gambling. Bending over to tie your shoes is a risk. There's a chance you'll strain your back and be immobile for a week. But if you don't take that chance, you won't be able to work. But if you don't do it stupidly, barring the heavens simply being against you that day, you'll be fine.

Farming is the same. If you're not being careless and the heavens don't decide to destroy your crops, and particularly if you're at a point where you can call it a job, you'll be fine. Once a risk is on a long scale, like farming, it's called an investment.

> IIRC it basically mounts your file store as if it were a filesystem and allows you to completely manage files.

This is not something I’d want a text editor to do! (The search feature is cool though.) If the point really is to make an alternative UI to both Drive and Docs, this makes sense, but again, I wouldn’t expect that.

> With the S3 API, you could implement the search every file in a folder feature

This is useful! Not my point though.

With the S3 API, you usually create one or multiple buckets per app – perhaps even one bucket per user. Your app manages those buckets, so it’s natural that it has access to the whole thing. (You can ask users to plug in their own S3 buckets, but that’s also not something I’d expect from iA.)

With Google Drive API, you mount user’s own Drive storage. This includes all files in it, some created by other apps, some uploaded by the user directly. Your app doesn’t usually need access to everything I have in there.

S3 and Drive are just two completely different products, for different people, with different API security models. You can use S3 as a personal storage space (I do actually, but with Backblaze), and perhaps you can make your app store file uploads on Dropbox for example but it’s not straightforward.
