We haven't touched the distributed part of the game, but our understanding is that when that time comes, it will be easier to use the BEAM approach given that it was made for this purpose.

Given the experience so far, it seems that using Erlang was the correct choice, not only because of the above, but also because Erlang made the server implementation way easier than we thought.
In my notes the Sony section was listed Sony / Nikon, but there was non-Nikon pattern in there and I removed the Nikon label to reduce inconsistency. Then I didn't update the Nikon section to include the other pattern. :) Should be fixed now. If you notice anything else, let me know!
TikTok's vine era. Sadly gone.
And how does anybody know just looking at this line what is the actual implementation? Creating new names like sst.aws.Cluster that hides actual details is problematic for me. ECS has three flavor as of 2024. How should I know which is in use when writing that line of code?

Amazon ECS capacity is the infrastructure where your containers run. The following is an overview of the capacity options:

- Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS cloud

- Serverless (AWS Fargate) in the AWS cloud

- On-premises virtual machines (VM) or servers

One more intresting detail I found that another services are not trying to hide the implementation detail.

const api = new sst.aws.ApiGatewayV2("MyApi", {})

The phone would have to actively make an IMS connection to use VoLTE, so the network would know when the device connects.
Almost none of those reasons are managing what are generally trivial costs for a growing business.

Small businesses remain small because they: cant scale, have a small tam, require direct labor from the founder to get the job done, the market is fairly well established but the founder has some special skills which are difficult to impart, especially in the context of the business.

Market conditions, the ability to get capital, and a lot of luck have way more to do than is your SaaS bill a little too high, you can always just use some google sheets and google docs and get 80% of what you'd need in most SMB situations.
It's definitely a matter of taste. The first version has flavor, the second is flat. The first reminds me of the style of writing that got me hooked on MUDs.

Another related set of differences to appreciate is between before-GMT and after-GMT worlds.

Before standardized time, it was very difficult to coordinate. Most US towns would have their own local time (think church steeples ringing out the hours), and there were 80+ different time standards across the country. In Massachusetts, for example, there were differences between Boston time and Worcester time, two cities that are ~45 miles apart.

Trains had trouble coordinating: if you're using the same sets of tracks, it's essential that you have a very good idea of where trains are going to be. Unfortunately, there were many collisions between trains as a result of mismatched times between the conductors and stations. [1]

In 1849, William Bond (owner of William Bond & Sons’ Boston) partnered with Harvard to offer the first standardized time from Harvard College Observatory. Time standardization between railroads, which started as a voluntary agreement, became mandatory after the Valley Falls collision. [2] As use of the telegraph spread, time standardization began to spread as well.

The idea of a train conductor holding a pocket watch has become quaint now, but it used to be the difference between life and death for passengers. Part of the cause of the Valley Falls collision (and several others) was a train conductor with a faulty pocket watch.

Another interesting rabbit hole to go down is the standardization of the prime meridian, why Greenwich was chosen [3] (hence Greenwich Mean Time [4]), and why the French were so upset about this (part of the reason time today is called UTC). Part of the reason GMT is the standard has to do with what Sobel discusses at the end of the book [5]: Nevil Maskelyne, the primary antagonist, published The Nautical Almanac, which was for many years the primary reference of sailors across the globe when determining time. All measurements for that book were taken from Greenwich; hence, when governments went to standardize a prime meridian, Greenwich was the obvious choice.

Harvard’s Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments has a fun collection of clocks that illustrate the challenges related to this. [6] It's a small but underrated museum when looking at places to go in Cambridge.

Well, i have to say that is one area where Germany actually shines. We shut off the stupid, power-hungry and slow 3G, but kept 2G as a basic service. That was a very good decision. All data comms can switch to 4G/5G, while voice comm can remain on 2G as backup. Low data rate devices can also use 2G/GPRS/EC-GSM.
Exactly. The "it works for me so it works" type of thinking is what makes people mistakenly conclude that homoeopathy works any better than a placebo.

> If I had one euro per each time I heard a clock saying "30 seconds one time" I'd be rich.

Fun diversion. I figure 10 clocks in the room, a generous estimate is that they alert an average of 50 times per player per game, 4 games per day. A very solid day's work, but most weeks you can only attend a tournament on Saturday/Sunday.

I don't think you'd end up rich, but you could probably make a living.

In some countries, to increase public support for speed cameras, they are only installed in areas with an established history of speed-related accidents. For example, downhill sections in winding country lanes with poor visibility. The cameras are very, very clearly signposted - and project success is measured by issuing fewer tickets, as that means fewer people are speeding. So you might also install clearer signage and other traffic calming measures at the same time.

On the other hand, if your aim is to maximise revenue, then project success means issuing as many tickets as possible. Installing clear speed limit signage? More profitable if we don't. Making the cameras clearly visible, so people can slow down in good time? More profitable if we don't. And if there's a wide, safe freeway with great visibility and no history of accidents? Well, that's going to be a profitable place for cameras, as people will feel safe going fast.
Given that we just elected a serial liar, fascist fanboy, convicted rapist and a probable traitor, who can now absolve himself of all crimes, you are way too optimistic. I think we've just turned a corner into a very, very dark place.
I disagree. ChatGPT is nowhere near AGI. I don't know anyone who confuses general intelligence with super intelligence.

How do you know what most people mean?

Update: I agree with the article that a reasonable amount of generality exists with chatGPT. I dispute the intelligence part of it. It cannot evaluate the truth or falsity of what it spouts out. This appears to be a fundamental limitation of LLMs.
I also prefer Fischer, but I think that like most rules discussion, the passion for arguing about it mostly comes from a drive towards simpler systems as an aesthetic preference, not major problems with the status quo.
I agree with you. By definition, recreating old things takes time. As stewards of this rock, we should tend to and protect what we have.
But then the only way to make sure that you can open a file is to actually open it.
But if you rely on these subtleties this is hardly a "basic feature" that the language is lacking. In fact, I imagine File.Exists()/OF_EXISTS also opens the file (then immediately closes it).
Also: offending Fitts's law and pseudomaximized windows.
In my hometown, sometimes birds (I think they may have been crows) swoop across real close to cars along a straight stretch of highway. I've had to slow down sometimes thinking I might hit one.

I like to imagine they go back to their group of bird bros and say: "Ha! Made him flinch!".
Yes, the experience is the point. But the memory afterward can be just powerful. Visual and tactical stimuli can enhance the memory of the experience, long after it occurred.

Hey! My intention with this sentence is to say that although the content is publicly available, the viewer may feel like they're still "not allowed" to be watching it.

Others in the comments articulated this better than me:
> I understand that these videos were made public, but still this kinda feels like violating people’s privacy. They most likely never intended for us all to watch their personal videos a decade later.

I tried to distill it in a couple words in the blog, bc I didn't want to harp on it. In retrospect, I could've explained it better.

The conclusion I’m coming to is that this, too, is an exponent of an inherent weakness: we like to be told stories. As children we like to be told stories and this remains. We now have a complete spectrum of story-telling: science fiction, fiction, non-fiction, …, and news. News reporting itself is a continuum, with tabloid gossip on one side and political coverage on the other. We have so much stories to choose from.
Yeah, so the game is kinda in a weird state where a library was born to make it work better, we are planning more features so it stops being a multiplayer walking simulator.

Really neat... very impressive work so far, so inspiring!

It's kinda funny to see just HOW MANY of these automated chess things exist... it's like people really do want the physical experience while still playing "with" someone. As I'm guessing OP will discover, the devil with this is in the details, and getting all of the last mile mechanics to work quite right is probably a huge pain to truly be able to seamlessly play against the opponent with the pieces moving automatically.

Surely the "actual" answer to this is some robotic arm with good enough camera work? All the things that make this hard -- the pieces not being placed perfectly, the knight jumping / or pieces that are being captured in really crowded places gets theoretically solvable with that approach. Of course then you have a huge issue with the engineering precision on the grabber and camera lol.

Risk.

Lawyers are experts in risk management, which is why you see them trying to minimize risk and exposure in every way possible.

I'm seeing a long load time in Firefox but in Chromium, loading takes maybe a second. Loading the entire .NET runtime isn't exactly lightweight, but it seems there's also some kind of browser engine problem in my Firefox setup that slows this page down artificially.

I must say I'm impressed that this approach even works with only 16MiB of data transferred over the line (though that 16MiB decompresses to about 50MiB).

I really like SST compared to SLS because it is by far more featured and actually supports multi-cloud. This kind of cements that as you can deploy nearly anything with it now.

But, if I was going to start a new project today, I would probably reach for SLS, because it is simpler and faster to get set up. I think SST sometimes gets in its own way with complex IaaC config; if I wanted to do all this then I would reach for Terraform, and part of the appeal of serverless is the low lift to getting to "deployed."

So I think it's really cool that SST is adding all these things and exploring areas outside trad serverless to expand and grow new user bases. I also think this kinda sucks for people who have been with SST for a while and waiting for improvements to the DX for serverless (the functionality is there, the DX is not). I'm sure lots of thought went into this decision, but I still think it would be profoundly "worth it" for SST to tackle DX again, or for someone to build a wrapper around it.
"Done kills Doubt".
What an embarrassing situation.

$163,000,000 spent and nothing to show for it. Of course, Oracle / SAP have absurdly powerful contracts that basically bail them out of any accountability. This is despite both of them being notorious for overruns on their projects, especially government deployments.

From a survey, 47% of ERP projects have budget overruns.

Another name for a similar but slightly more pernicious problem is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect: "the phenomenon of experts reading articles within their fields of expertise and finding them to be error-ridden and full of misunderstanding, but seemingly forgetting those experiences when reading articles in the same publications written on topics outside of their fields of expertise, which they believe to be credible."

The video is a parody of marketing. If you want to criticize it for being irrelevant and that humor doesn't fit this situation, then sure. But saying it has similar marketing to consumer goods isn't really accurate.
The author's hypothetical octopus "civilization" lacks most of the characteristics we associate with civilization. He seems to assume that agriculture, in the sense of pastoralism, is the only criterion. If this is the case, then ants have been running aphid-farming civilizations for millions of years. Leaf-cutter ants have run fungus farms as well.

I wouldn't be at all surprised that octopi and many other animals have loose farming-like behaviors. This is a far cry from what we generally mean by civilization.

In particular, I believe the domestication of fire is the dividing line between humans and animals. This tool provides access to an enormous new source of energy, which opened a myriad of possibilities unavailable to animals. The tool use and motor skills needed to build, maintain, and use fire probably was a significant stimulus to human brain development.

Cephalopods, of course, would have no opportunity to master fire.
I would suggest keeping an open mind. I use LLMs to check, my writing and if could be could improved. English is not first language and I am not confident enough to know if what I wrote comes across professionally or not. May be the author of the blog post has the same issue.

I see now, you are sending messages directly to Erlang server so you don't have to worry about network sockets.

There are thousands of bluecheck AI bots that just copy-paste/regurgitate or just make up stupid content and post it continuously to get engagement views and money.

I use local LLMs and write system prompts.

For example, I have two “characters” for sh and cmd, who only produce valid shell commands or “# unable to generate”. No explanations, no important to remember crap. Just commands. I prompted them along the lines of “the output is connected to another program and can never be read by a human, no point in all that”.

Another useful (to me) character is Bob, a grumpy old developer who won’t disrespect a fellow dev with pointless explanations, unless a topic is real tricky or there’s a nuance to it. Sometimes he just says things like “why you need that?” or “sure, what suits you best” instead of pages of handwavy pros and cons and lists and warnings and whatever. Saves a whole lot of skimming through a regular chatgpt babbling, feels like a real busy person who knows things.

Another character (that I rarely use) is BuilderBot. It’s a generic bot “that builds things and isn’t afraid of dumping whole projects into the chat” or something like that. It really dumps code, most of the time. Not just snippets, whole files and folders.

I’m using “text generation web ui” frontend.

I think it’s highly dependent on both what kind of place you live and who the delivery driver is. At my place, I live in the Hinterhaus (which, annoyingly is where my buzzer is) up several flights of stairs with no elevator. Additionally, until recently the delivery driver for my street seemed to have some kind of agreement with someone about 10 houses away on the ground floor that would accept all the parcels for the entire street. They even had the gall to ask for donations for their “service” (all of the parcels I picked up from them reeked of smoke).

At my partner’s place, the delivery people are excellent, and we never miss a parcel. She has an elevator, in a different part of town, and there’s no Hinterhof. It’s very hit or miss.
