> Monopoly is a great example

No it isn't, because board game people hate it. I don't know who is defending Monopoly, but it's not board game fans.

> If you play any of the computer/console versions the auctions are automatic and easy for everyone to participate.

Sure. It still doesn't make for a fun game though.

> Computers exist to automate tedious tasks, if your game has tedious mechanics that require a lot of text to explain it'd probably be better as a computer game where those parts can be automated and the player just has to make their choices within that framework.

Sure. But good games avoid tedious tasks to start with. If anything I'd say the converse is true: most computer games would be improved by trying to make a board game version and cutting the mechanics that make that difficult.

> My partner would argue that the physical interaction with the pieces/cards/board/whatever is what matters and computers don't have that, but I believe if I'm judging a game as a game then the gameplay not making me hate it is the most important part.

If "gameplay" was the only thing that mattered then all games would be abstract games. And even abstract games often have a tactile part of the experience that creates its own feel. Every computer game is kind of the same - you sit in front of a screen and push keys - and that limits how much you can get out of it; there are no great novels about computer gaming.
There is a huge difference between 1/5 and 4/5 using RealPage.

If RealPage sets your price at $1,000 but 4/5 sets it at $950. Your apartment is at a disadvantage. One extra month of vacancy will make any higher rental price you set evaporate. Renters will have plenty of options. 1/5 won't make much of a difference, if any.

But if 4/5, that's a huge impact. Now suddenly, 4/5 apartments are $1,000. The lone $950 apartment will get rented out fast but everyone else will have to pay $1,000.
> Daily pills take a lot of time investment; monthly shots are better

That is a matter of opinion. How much time do you think it takes to swallow a pill?
A few reasons:

- Women and girls make up the majority of HIV cases, especially in the developing world

- If you're estimating the effect in both men and women, you're reducing your power to detect an effect in either group. If you have a limited budget, it's going to be hard to recruit, etc., you may well be better off powering your study for the group you think is going to be the most impactful, then going back. We saw this with the HPV vaccine - getting it going in the highest impact groups, and then going back later

- Preventing HIV in women also prevents maternal to child transmission

- "Men with HIV" are actually two different groups - men who have sex exclusively with women, and men who have sex with men. You then also need to power your study for both sub-groups.
Specifically because in each case, no updateable web browser was available any longer. To have your main machine increasingly unable to render web pages, and to suffer growing security vulnerabilities, pretty much bricks the machine for any purpose other than a scanning workstation, etc.

It used to be exciting when a Blizzard release was coming out. Now it's just scary and a bit depressing when they announce something. I was excited all the way up through Overwatch 1, then the WC3 remaster and Overwatch 2 were awful. If they only messed up new releases it wouldnt be so bad; it's the incessant fiddling and worsening of what was good. Even of games that weren't meant to be "live service" games.

I already have WC2 on GoG and this preservation program commitment makes me think I should start ramping up buying other games from my childhood with GoG.

About Me: Highly skilled Software Engineer with 16 years of experience in System Design and Development. Proven track record in leading and delivering complex projects on time, under high pressure. Actively seeking challenging opportunities and fully prepared to relocate upon receiving visa sponsorship.
Most of the stock buybacks happened under Bob Swan though. Krzanich dug the grave of Intel but it was Swan who kicked the company in there by wasting forty billion. (No wonder he landed at a18z.)

Like a moth to flame, I'm drawn to Haskell every 6 months or so. What drives me to it is its ability to express concepts (once you're used to it) parsimoniously - like the point-free style in the example. Monads, I can understand/manage. But by the time I hit Monad Transformers (and the n different packages available), the excitement turns into a headache.

It's also a bummer that you need the containers package for basic DS. So, batteries not included, unlike Python. This also means that you need to use a package manager (stack or cabal) even for non-trivial programs, where a one-line ghci command line would have been more ergonomic.

That said, learning Haskell has had a very positive effect on how I think about and structure the programs I write in other languages ("functional core, imperative shell"). I don't think I'll ever program in Haskell in any semi-serious capacity. But these days, I get my daily functional fix from using jq on the command line.

Not sure if I would necessarily say that the reason the US is pretty good at space stuff is imperial measurements. Its probably imperialism, instead.
Not the author, but on a Pi 5 small LLMs such as tinyllama or qwen2.5:0.5b run at over 25 tokens per second (haven't tested the performance boost with it yet). It could be useful if you wanted a local assistant or an AI server for devices you don't want to run LLMs on

> I think college student teams strike a combo of time, talent and resource that would be surprisingly hard to come by in the larger “civilian world.”

The flip-side of this that you have a bunch of very smart young people absolutely dripping with theory knowledge and close to zero relevant real world experience in anything applicable in this space. The ability of college university teams to make exceptionally bone headed f ups is very well known. I've mentored a couple of university rocket teams for over 5 years now and I can tell you it's often an exercise in 'unknown unknowns'.

USC RPL has been at this for almost 20 years now. Their main competitive advantage (besides in-house cf cased motors) is documentation and knowledge transfer. As I'm sure you can imagine there are probably no founding team members actively involved today. I was at Balls in 2013 (IIRC it was 13) when they launched their first Traveler rocket, which was their first space shot attempt. They didn't actually reach that goal until April 2019.

> Largely as a language it brings shader languages out of the stone ages of plain procedural C

It's not the first to do so though, Metal's shading language is C++14 with some restrictions and some enhancements (which IMHO is overkill though, except for the ability to stamp out different specializations from the same template code).
Hey finally a use case (for the masses) for gigabit at home at least.
> Those sponsors aren't providing technical expertise.

Do you know that about this specific case? Because I personally know a similar student team where the sponsor absolutely is giving guidance on technical matters.
Training a model in itself doesn't have much of an effect (except for burning tons of power.) Training a model and distributing it, however...
You either raise prices, cut costs, or go out of business. All are valid options.

>> that it’s unfathomable that you’d have any loyalty to them.

It's unfathomable that anyone anywhere has "loyalty" to any politician. They are just doing a job - what do they need loyalty for? Especially from the electorate.
Does it have a ai formed by plugging a society going through a singularity from a simulation? In other words can Kurweil pass me the butter, while in existential crisis?
I read this as "answer within the hour when preparing an exhibition". If you are in full swing to get an exhibition up and running and this is the time you decide to throw yourself into deep focus work, you are probably hard to work with. I would also assume if some artist told the author "look I know we open on Tuesday, but this Friday we have my kid's birthday so from 4 to 8 I won't be easy to reach", this would probably just be silently dropped from the cou ting of how fast they respond.

On the other hand, without warning going dark for 4 work day hours a few days before exhibition would look terrible if any serious question came up.

So I don't think it's literally responding within the hour, but it comes pretty dang close. You have to keep in mind that being an artist creating art and being an artist setting up an exhibition are basically two different jobs and if you end up doing them in parallel at the same time, that's your problem right there.
Great propaganda you have sold here, propaganda :)

To generalise the observation: I've definitely shifted my own behaviour where I find coercive, obnoxious, or toxic patterns.

"Loyalty coupons" where the number of items bought to receive one free escalated on subsequent purchase? Stopped shopping at that store. I'm not someone's Skinner Box experiment.

If you have auto-differentiation, it is tractable to do machine learning in a language. Because slang runs on any shader language & GPU, it could enable generalized acceleration of ML training on any graphics hardware which is cool.

YouTube videos on backpropagation might explain it better
Not only that but they're a self organizing team. Unlike the professional world they want to be there, they're not getting selected out due to vibe checks/leetcode proficiency or filtered out due to comp ask. Also they don't have business dictating design or trying to ban engineering practices.
I’m of the same opinion now. It’s so much more pleasure to work on an n100 vs rpi4/5 too. Everything is snappy and responsive, apt-update fast
not to mention you are way more motivated when your grades are tied to an outcome
The biggest issue with college teams is that there is no institutional knowledge retention. Once they are done padding their resumes, they will move on. The next batch of club members will usually reinvent the wheel again. There is little incentive for good management and long term innovation beyond proving out one or two ideas that are immediately relevant to their academic research.
I've been wondering for some time if it would be possible to create a formal way of describing board game rules. Although there is much variety in board gaming, mostly they consist of some sort of state machine, with events that change that state, and usually a clear end game state.

Does anyone know if this has been researched?

Software was telling computers what to do, to get those things done that we wanted done. This still remains software.

With AI, the new evolution in software is to skip the "telling what to do" part and directly specifying the goal - "telling what to get done" and let the system figure it out.
Here's a talk by someone from Gilead from a few years ago about how it works.[1] Back then they were still testing on animals.

It's amazing that a small-molecule drug can be that effective for six months. It's not a vaccine. It doesn't stimulate the immune system. Completely different mechanism. It's not a slow-release implanted thing, either.

> current Debian supported "out-of-the-box" with a custom D.E. and Wayland

I’m not sure I understand the point, because Debian supports N100 PCs natively, too. Or is a custom DE the advantage?
I used these so called "build packs" a lot and owe Heroku a great deal in general.

However, when I was "forced to" use Docker containers instead of custom build packs (Heroku also supports them), I didn't look back: It's a non-vendor-locked, portable, industry standard, which works with every framework of my choice, not just Django and Spring Boot. It also doesn't need an extra effort to support.Net, or anything else for that matter.

This is not the case in Haskell, because let-bindings can be self-referential, while lambdas cannot (without using a fixed point combinator). Also, in most functional languages, a let-binding causes type generalisation, which is not the case for a lambda.
The article itself is fantastic. However, this is a great example of what makes catnip for HN -

1) Use scientific terms (e.g. vector fields, waves resonance)
2) Cite tech influencers (e.g. Sholto Douglas, Tyler Cowen)
3) Make the subject an abstract novel field that most developers or tech folk don't really pay attention and use #1 and #2 to make it relevant
They're only really comparable if you want an 8 GB Pi 5.

I used to be part of a very successful competitive robotics team. You'll be surprised at how many student teams have this one guy who has been doing his PhD forever/startup founder who spun off from your team and mentors it that exist in the more successful teams.

I've seen PhDs whove mastered the art of being in the same uni team. One of them I knew has followed the path from undergrad (4 years), masters (2 years), RA (2 years), Phd (7 years), Post-doc (2 years).

Another is a startup founder who started the team in undergrad, worked as an RA for 4 years, then spun-off his own company over the next 6 years.

For the most part its beneficial for the uni to retain such talent. Especially, cause they are better grounded than some of the professors who claim to be "experts".

I can't put much faith in any technical promise from GOG.

My GOG account broke somehow almost 10 years ago, and over the years and several attempts they have been unable to recover it. They can't even establish why it's broken or what games I owned or if the whole thing has been irrecoverably lost.

Hello. I assume tracepoints mean kprobes/uprobes or something along those lines? I've just this weekend worked on implementing/adapting a crate for DTrace USDTs aka DTrace probes to also work on Linux and generate SystemTap SDTs (aka USDTs aka dtrace probes).

This is probably a little different from tracepoints in the kernel space but I'm somewhat interested in going deeper and into the kernel side of things. Let me know if you have any pointers as to where I might be of concrete assistance to you!
Absolutely. But with Haskell in particular, there are endless expressiveness micro-optimizations like "how can I write this point-free", "is there a combinator that would allow expressing this differently", "how can I express more of this in the type system"...

I am sure it's possible to write Haskell and just not fall into that trap, but I found that Haskell was especially prone to nerd-sniping the micro-optimizing part of my brain, in a way that other languages don't.
In case you didn't understand the other reply, you can't use newtons in this context. Kilograms is perfectly fine here. The thrust of the engine can (and should) be measured in newtons though.

Also, 4 decimal points of precision is completely overkill. Maybe one decimal point at most would be more than enough, but most wouldn't even bother with that.
You need to be in the same place, at the same time, every day, and always have them with you, continually. You also need to keep them dry and at room temperature all the time, so no leaving them in your car.

To be fair, Warcraft does need a remaster.

Have you tried replaying it? You can't even RMB to move units, you need to click the move icon then select where.

Warcraft 2 does not (imho), and last time I tried it, Warcraft 2 BNE still worked just fine, so that's probably getting shut down now.
The last metric in this 2017 study, before the pandemic, showed tipping was between 18% and 19% in, "surveys (that) are aimed at diners who patronize full-service midscale and upscale restaurants". It also shows a downward trend in the last few data points. All things considered, including diners who patronize "downscale" full-service restaurants (like diners), and given the many decades-long standard of 15% tips, it seems to me a safe standard to continue to use. Certainly no foreign visitor will ever face vitriol for tipping 15%.
