Overeating doesn’t cause any issues to any animals during their average reproductive period (younger ages). Longer lifespans and calory deficits lead to lower quality offsprings. Nothing “demonstratable” there.
That was my point. We forgot we were gaming, probably due to all the money being thrown around.
Yeah. In many corners of the world, you get handed antibiotics for every cough or sniffle you get, and then people just don't finish up the doses when they are sick. Antibiotic resistance builds within a sick person and then spreads a disease the antibiotics can't kill

With so many people taking antibiotics for their coughs and sniffles NOT caused by bacteria, they end up being more present in sewage, another place that antibiotic resistance increases.

And finally we feed way too much to the cows.

It would have been really, really wise for the healthcare governing bodies to limit antibiotics to hospitals, and stop sending promising new candidates overseas to any country with a track record of overprescribing and not doing a better job of monitoring treatment adherence. It's inhumane for us to allow illnesses abroad to become increasingly untreatable while those governments shrug off the problem. Mandate change in policy before sharing new formulations.
I stopped reading the analysis after the first few "boo hoo billionaire" claims but you assume that billionaires can't exploit the value of their paper holdings, and that's a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem.

The problem is that these billionaires you're defending are able to exploit their stock, as if they had received cash for the stock, but were not taxed on this the same way the rest of us would be if we tried to do the same, and that is the loophole we are trying to close.

All the rest of your comment is entirely unrelated to what the original topic of discussion was.
don't forget the venue is likely also owned by ticketmaster and is all part of the game too.
It certainly would be some real accountability. They didn’t perform well and they’re mostly compensated in equity, so they get less of it. When they perform better, they’ll get more equity. Why wouldn’t this encourages the CEO perform better? The sword cuts both ways.
I was about to say that Voyager likely also suffers from the Pioneer anomaly, which is suspected to be caused by the RTG's thermal radiation pushing the craft off course [1]. But according to wikipedia we can't really tell because the effect of the maneuvering thrusters that keep Voyager aligned is much bigger than the Pioneer anomaly (Voyager 1 has fuel until about 2040).

PirateSoftware on twitch/youtube talks about his time at blizzard working on catching cheaters in WoW. Their methods are usually about figuring out how they're cheating and what behaviors cheaters follow.

That's only single core. I think Logic is pretty optimized to use multiple cores (Apple demoed it on the 20 core Xeon Mac Pro back in 2019).

But if the M1 isn't the bottleneck, no reason to upgrade.
I love backpropagating ideas from ML back into psychology :)

I think it shows great promise as a way to sidestep the ethical concerns (and the reproducibility issues) associated with traditional psychology research.

One idea in this space I think a lot about is from the Google paper on curiosity and procrastination in reinforcement learning: https://research.google/blog/curiosity-and-procrastination-i...

Basically the idea is that you can model curiosity as a reward signal proportional to your prediction error. They do an experiment where they train an ML system to explore a maze using curiosity, and it performs the task more efficiently -- UNTIL they add a "screen" in the maze that shows random images. In this case, the agent maximizes the curiosity reward by just staring at the screen.

Feels a little too relatable sometimes, as a highly curious person with procrastination issues :)
Well, the problem is eventual consistency and these games have a hell to consolidate properly.

One user is on a connection with 10ms latency, the other user is on 50 ms latency. Now, if first user does something, and second user can either do something to evade or can do something that actually prevents the first user from acting, how do you consolidate that?

The actual timestamp of when exactly what happened helps immensely, but you have to trust the timestamp. And how can you know that is not manipulated?

But... that's just the surface. Consider: one client uses a rendering that takes 25ms longer to show up and another client does not render textures/shadows etc. That client is faster and the sender can even send "official" response times, but would still give an advantage.

So, I am not sure this can be solved serverside. But... I don't play these games anymore and would never opt for a rootkit to be installed just so I can play. I can imagine plenty of people, though, who would.

The implicit assumption is that ginormous prototype/research reactors are the only possible way for fusion to work.

But if you fund the research, people come up with better lasers and magnets and things. Then you a) have better lasers and magnets and things, which are useful for more than just fusion in the same way that NASA inventions are useful for more than just space exploration; and b) allow the reactors to get smaller:

You were probably being rhetorical, but there are two problems:

- `p = 2` should be outside the loop

- `prime_factors.append(n)` appends `1` onto the end of the list for no reason

With those two changes I'm pretty sure it's correct.
Account holder migration between two major international banks. Subcontracted out to the lowest bidding outsourcer who operate some major enterprise messaging bespoke piece of crap bought from IBM which is held together with sticky tape, string and smeared in dog shit and requires hand holding 24/7 due to the sheer amount of bugs in it.

I found this out because the company I was contracting for was trying to get the open banking API working against one of the banks and we ended up having to speak to four parties over an simple encoding issue that no one at any org could understand. It was basically the spider man pointing meme. One set of outsourcers blaming another set of outsourcers while their local managers were doing the same. No one even understood or communicated the issues.

When you do something at a bank and it takes longer than expected it’s that sort of shit happening.

Wrong way around. Almost all the numbers in those systems are fixed-size. There's a few types of variable width payload, but all the little ancillary types are 64 bits or whatever.

The dialects you mentioned have a list-based syntax. They are list based in the same way that C++ is token based. (Actually I believe this is not strictly true of Scheme, which is defined from the character level up by a grammar, like many other programming languages. Bootstrapping compilers for Scheme have been written that do not read the program as a nested list. Those features of Scheme that calculate list structure have to do that at run time, of course, like quotation and quasi-quotation, but that doesn't require their syntax to be treated as a list during compilation).

You say you're not talking about a random toy Lisp someone threw together. Yet those kind of projects are the ones that have lists as the core or perhaps the only data abstraction for the entire language. If we search for the Lisps that make your remarks correct, that's mainly what we find.

I think this is a rare exception in production Lisps. One notable one is something called Pico Lisp. People take this seriously and use it, so we can't call it a toy. Yet it does almost everything with lists.

When people say Lisp nowadays no you cannot guess that it's Scheme or Common Lisp. It could be Clojure, or Fennel or others.

Scheme and Common Lisp are very different languages.
Great to hear. Also, a very interesting topic for me since this is close to my masters degree and current job. For a niche topic like ancient mesopotamia I was surprised. Is there a blog post or something about how the site works behind the scenes?

The API doesn't provide root access, it's typically a simple "is this game running in a secure environment" read API.

I think the population of game developers and their knowledge of multiplayer networking is fundamentally getting worse over time, because I see things that should not be architecturally possible in a lot of newer multiplayer games.

This whole thing anti-cheat thing is just a separate problem entirely, but it's so painfully exacerbated by the first.

Why does it matter when there is auto-fix-on-save? I just write whatever, hit ctrl+s and the code is fixed. The result: The code is "fixed" based on whatever rule and it doesn't cost me a thing. I don't think about it and I don't lift a finger.

But I do personally appreciate the tidiness of code-consistency.
Same field of view as years old Magic Leap 2 though. Was Silicon carbide an expensive way to work around ML's patents and get the same FOV?
You're doing circular reasoning based on your initial concern actually being a problem in practice. In my experience it's not, which makes all your other speculations inherently incorrect.
> I feel like Apple kind of buried this in their press release

The press release describes the single core performance as the fastest ever made, full stop:

"The M4 family features phenomenal single-threaded CPU performance with the world’s fastest CPU core"

The same statement is made repeatedly across most the new M4 line up marketing materials. I think thats enough to get the point across that its a pretty quick machine.
> I think the dumbest is requiring "def (x=true)" over "def (x = true)". Seriously, why could that possibly matter??

For Python, I use ruff to autoreformat my code into a consistent style. The CI pipeline fails the PR if the style is violated it. Fixing it is a one-liner. Actually, if you use VSCode’s ruff extension, a zero-liner, since it auto-formats on save.

For Java, I use Diffplug Spotless for a similar experience.

One advantage of forcing the code to be auto-formatted, is it makes diffs cleaner - you eliminate diffs where someone just changed the code style, since the code style never changes.
These heat pumps allow you to suck heat out of the air, even when the ambient temperature is below 0F. You could pair with solar PV, but long term thermal storage is not efficient at these scales (unless you’re suggesting ground source heat pumps, which are very expensive due to the drilling needed).
Are they interested in you optimizing your workloads or just selling you more gpus to help you get to market faster...
Only individuals who submitted multiple bad solutions before giving up were counted as failing. If you look but don't bother, or submit a single bad solution, you aren't counted. Thousands of individuals were tested on Hacker News and Reddit, and surprisingly, it's not even close: Reddit is where the hackers are. I mean, at the time of the testing, years ago.

You're talking about this cover, right? https://westoahu.hawaii.edu/cyber/vulnerability-research/did...

> As we are moving more and more towards physics-based rendering, engine are shifting from imitating what's observed to properly defining the world and its interactions and get realism as a byproduct.

Sigh. Anyone who’s done physically based rendering will tell you it’s all bullshit. Even Maxwell’s equations are a special case of a much broader set of interactions. But a few decades ago you’d think that’s all there is. You don’t get realism as a byproduct, you get “looks real, ship it” as a byproduct.

It’s approximations. And that’s perfectly fine.
Well, you're not really a fan then, huh?

Joking aside, for every you (or two you's), there's another person willing to shell out. Ticketmaster doesn't really care whether a venue is at 30% or 100% capacity so long as the artists and venue are happy, and fans keep buying tickets at a sustainable clip. Hell, they likely prefer a lower attendance so staffing costs are lower.

This is a bit like skiing now: I've accepted it's just an activity for the addicted or the rich.

If I'm not a professional and I hurt someone while trying to save their life by doing something stupid, that's understandable ignorance.

If a doctor stops to help someone and hurts them because the doctor did something stupid, that is malpractice and could get them sued and maybe get their license revoked.

Would you hire a programmer who refused to learn how to code the claimed "good faith" every time they screwed things up? Good faith shouldn't cover willful ignorance. A cop is hired to know, understand, and enforce the law. If they can't do that, they should be fired.

Learn how to repair what you own (it's never been as easy), be aware of how you can work in today's world (who needs laptop RAM if I can spin up containers in the cloud) - I expect to not upgrade until a similarly stellar step up in the category of Intel to Apple Silicone comes along.

All past Mx versions being mostly compared to Intel baselines: Boring.

> Or do they have 25% trivial code?

If anything that's probably an underestimate. Not to downplay the complexity in much of what Google does but I'm sure they also do an absolute ton of tedious, boring CRUD operations that an AI could write.
With the sheer number of devs who use Macs, there is a 0% chance they’re going to outright prevent running arbitrary executables. Warn / make difficult, sure, but prevent? No.
The people outnumber billionaires so much they have to change or it makes no difference.
It does help at some margin to make code more readable. Humans just aren't that great at reading and understanding code. It has been said: "Write for humans, not computers because computers will understand what you wrote no matter how badly written". So if you're writing code on a team, do your co-workers and your future-self a favour and write code that's easy to read. It won't run any better or with fewer bugs, but it will be easier to understand later, easier to be understood by others, and "wishful thinking here": easier to debug.
It is worse. Trump will actually put people on concentration camps! Glenn Greenwald explains the issue here:

> Lots of non-trivial programming tasks can be broken down into pure, trivial sections. Then, the non-trivial part becomes knowing how the entire system fits together.

I think that’s exactly right. I used to have to create the puzzle pieces and then fit them together. Now, a lot of the time something else makes the piece and I’m just doing the fitting together part. Whether there will come a day when we just need to describe the completed puzzle remains to be seen.

I recently wrote something like this, as I was replacing my home media center/server box with new hardware, and wanted to start fresh instead of imaging the drive and copying it over.

At first I considered that it would be a good opportunity to learn something like Ansible, but after looking at the getting started docs, I realized I didn't feel like taking the time. So, a bash script!

I wrote a script that assumed I'd just installed a Debian base image. The script installs a couple needed things with apt-get, adds some extra config to /etc/apt, and then does a full upgrade, as well as installing other needed packages.

Next it creates some daemon users & groups, copies in a file system overlay (mostly config files), and then has a list of things to download and install to /opt (stuff that isn't available from a Debian repository). There are a few things I run on it that come in Docker containers, so those are set up (with systemd service files) as well.

Finally it installs duplicity and restores app data that gets backed up nightly to S3 on my original media server box, and sets things up so those backups will happen on the new box as well.

Ultimately I'm not thrilled with it: some of it is fragile (like 'sed' that changes existing config files), and I of course made mistakes as I was writing it, so I had to also take care that the script was idempotent and could handle being run multiple times on the same box without erroring or re-doing what had already been done. I imagine/assume something like Ansible (or Chef or Puppet or whatever) would handle this for me.

But it worked, and was fairly low-effort compared to learning a new provisioning system, so it's fine. Maybe I'll learn Ansible another day.
Thats precisely me as well. Its like a closed book in my head. This is killing me a bit right now in interviews, especially as I had to take a few years off to deal with some health problems.

One idea I had that I'm not sure will work is to try to build mind maps of projects I've done, in order to at minimum build some tabs in my head.
Their repair policy, from what I can see, is a thinly veiled attempt to get you to either pay for Apple Care or to upgrade. I got a quote to repair a colleague's MacBook Pro, less than 2 years old, which has apparent 'water damage' and which they want AUD $2,500 to repair! Of course that makes no sense, so we're buying a new one ...

This post is so interesting because it highlights the people that don't know anything about the requirements or state of cheats/anticheat. What you're describing is 10 years out of date. Every modern cheat has a toggle, and (almost) every modern cheater masks augmented behavior with misses/native behavior.
VAC is so not-good that there are not one but two popular third-party matchmaking services for Valves games whose main selling point is much stronger (read: more invasive) anti-cheat than VAC, and one of them even charges a subscription to play, which highly skilled players gladly pay to get away from the cheaters in high-rank VAC servers.

I think "could a creepy admin see my nudes" or "can my messages be mined to create a profile of my preferences" are much more practical working definitions of privacy than "can someone see that I've installed an app".

End-to-end encryption is certainly the most relevant feature for these scenarios.

App store DRM is a red herring, as a developer I can still run as much untrusted code on my MBP as I want and I don't see that going away any time soon.

Is the public gemini code gen LLM trained on their internal repo? I wonder if one could get it to cough up propriety code with the right prompt.
On the one had, while I have no reason to disbelieve this specific blog post about Super Micro, I know for a fact that elements of their other posts about other companies are simply wrong, including a number of their claims about Roblox.

That's the risk with relying on short sellers' reports. Very frequently, the short seller is lying.

With SuperMicro, the auditor's withdrawal is worth 100x the short sellers' report. This is because it is very common for short sellers to make up claims about a company's financials, but it is very rare for an auditor to voluntarily withdraw.
Probably overloading of the term "programming" is the issue here. Most "software engineering" is non-programming work. Most programming is not actually typing code.

Most of the time, when I am typing code, the code I am producing is trivial, however.
