One of the benefits of playing the game is signaling that you're willing to follow norms even if they don't directly benefit you or make sense to you. Someone refusing to play along with anything that doesn't immediately make sense to them or reasonate with them is a yellow flag, since it shows that they don't value the social contract and aren't willing to humble themselves or make other people the priority.

We're social animals, and when people overtly signal that they're disinterested in the existing paradigm, they're communicating that they're going to be exhausting to interact with, since you're going to have to explain and justify every individual thing you want out of them that they don't already understand, and they'll never just go along with things for the sake of others.

Check out "Poor Economics" by Banerjee and Duflo. It's a pretty useful term.

I'm in the US, which can be pretty sparse even in urban areas if they were designed with particular bulk transit in mind. We have an industrial site that several hundred people need to report to over a 12 hour period, some temporarily, some for the entire duration. There's no parking and it's surrounded by multilane roads, now, so without bussing, no one can enter or leave except on a particular schedule, which hasn't been aligning to their personal schedules, so they can't necessarily get back to their cars to get access to food that may exist half a mile away in an otherwise urban area. There are no food trucks, and there's no food delivery.

If you're there, there's no convenient way to eat anything you didn't bring. The city took a look and now classifies it as a food desert, so they have to fix it.

Other types of food deserts are named as an indicator of poverty. In my home town, there was one grocery store and only a few diners. Once the commuter rail ended, about a third of the population (largely plant and mill workers) could only access that that part of town if they had a vehicle that could take the highway. A formerly 10 minute trip by rail and foot suddenly took three or four times as long and required a car! With how many single car households there were, people lost access to convenient food and eventually formed their own town.

Something similar happened when the bus routes were changed in another city I lived in, intentionally. It was part of a "beautification" scheme to create a false impression of wealth and demographics in a bid to attract investors, and they thought manufacturing a food desert would keep people out. The first year, some elderly people on fixed income died trying to make the trip by foot in the heat or were hit by cars, and the city was sued to reinstate transport.

Our Story
I'm the co-founder of Zipy.ai and for the past 3 years, we have built a platform that helps teams solve customer frustrations through session replays, user behavior analytics, and error monitoring. Today, I'm proud to announce the launch of our mobile support for Flutter and React Native, both on iOS and Android. Java/Kotlin is soon to follow.

The Problem
In this journey over the last few years, we have interacted with hundreds of mobile developers and many mobile founders, who were solely depending on Firebase to catch their crashes, but there was one unsolved problem - they weren't able to understand the user side of the story which caused these crashes, ANRs or freezes. The major ask each of them had was the ability to magically replay user actions on their mobile app.

With this launch, you'd not only be able to do that, but also catch and prioritize their problems with our AI-powered "Oopsie bugs".

The Solution
Debug mobile app issues instantly with AI bug detection. Supercharge your Flutter and React Native debugging with AI-powered mobile session replays: https://www.zipy.ai/for-mobile

▶ Replay mobile user sessions in real-time
Detect UI errors with "Oopsie Bugs"
AI-generated summaries & repro steps
Catch ANRs, crashes with logs & traces
Firebase Crashlytics Integration

> Renewables' share is up, therefore they replace fossil fuels because without renewables France should burn more fossil fuels.

Once again the declining share is nuclear. Fossils are stable as the data you quote shows.

> If in your opinion each and every resource (expertise, material...) used to deploy electricity-producing plants is 100% adequate for electrifying

My point is that this is irrelevant since the bottleneck is money. We don't live in a command economy where material resources and workers are assigned by the state on a given project.

My guess is from the customer's perspective, DSQL seems to have too many limitations, making it feel more like an enhanced version of a NoSQL database with SQL semantics, ACID transactions, and multi-region capabilities rather than a truly distributed version of a relational database. It seems the DSQL team doesn't fully understand why relational databases remain widely popular today. What makes them great is their flexibility, which lets them handle all kinds of use cases and adapt as things change. But all the limits on transaction size, column size, etc.., and too many missing capabilities pretty much take away all the big advantages relational databases usually offer.

> If you instead use your resources to deliver new features that might have a nonblocking bug here or there, you're improving your position over the competitor's.

In the short term. Features can attract new customers but software that is frustrating to use due to a lot of low level bugs will repel existing customers towards competitors over the long term. If you've simultaneously decided tech debt isn't worth addressing then your competitor can easily overtake you. Furthermore adding feature after feature eventually leads to a kitchen sink product where potential customers are put off by the learning curve. This is really just a variation on the quantitative fallacy that ignores qualitative aspects.

Right, it's about showing that you respect the social and cultural expectation, not about the specific expectation.

Some people have a very hard time adapting or accepting different cultural expectations, and their world is necessarily narrowed. It always makes sense logically, "Why should I have to play these games to show that I mean well, people should judge me by my more meaningful actions" but another way of looking at it is it's not worth it to them to make the microscopic effort to communicate willingness. If they're not willing to make even that little effort to make communication easier, what else are they unwilling to do?

> able to contort the facts to justify your world view

This is pure nonsense.
Thank you for your questions.

The primary target users would be systems where integrity verification and auditing are critical requirements, such as:

- Financial/banking systems that need cryptographic proof of all operations

- Medical devices where operation verification is essential for safety

- High-security environments requiring complete system attestation

- Research systems that need reproducible and verifiable execution paths

Though, my end goal with this to be sincere is making it general purpose in the future. I am a firm believer in the privacy of the user, and that's really what I wanted to achieve with this. An OS that can be run anywhere, including hardware that can't be trusted, having the confidence that there won't be a third actor watching every action the user takes.

Regarding the performance impact: The verification system is actually quite efficient since it uses hardware-accelerated operations where available (SHA-256 instructions on modern CPUs) and an optimized FNV-1a fallback implementation. The proof generation adds roughly 3-5% overhead for memory operations and 7-9% for filesystem operations in the benchmarks.

This is achieved by:

- Batching proof generation for small allocations

- Using a zone-based memory allocator that pre-verifies large memory regions

- Implementing an efficient proof storage system with automatic pruning

- Taking advantage of modern CPU crypto acceleration

You're absolutely right about adding this to the README - I'll create a dedicated section covering use cases and performance characteristics.
Seems like there's a whole lot of UV there already.
I thought that was a very poor allegory.

1. It starts with the humans being deathless, and then death showing up. This is not how things are, all life we know of since the very beginning dies. It may well be a "feature" of life in that death is necessary, or at least useful, for life to adapt and grow - unlike the dragon, which showed up after life was already doing fine.

2. It very conveniently and explicitly frames death as an evil black dragon, anthropomorphizing it and pulling it out of the mechanical process that it is into a morally evil villain.

3. The difficulty and novelty of the discoveries we must make and engineering problems we must solve to beat death are several magnitudes smaller in the fable than in reality.

It seemed very pandering, and sets up death (and those who propose accepting its inevitability) as a straw man and those who want to beat it as a steel man. I would have been more sympathetic if the black dragon were some illness like cancer, but it seems to be an allegory for death itself. I'm not against research to improve health and slow aging, but I also think that there are much more important and realistic problems to solve than defeating aging.
The trick is that there's actually assholes in all 4 quads. And nice people, too.

That's the kicker, LLM driven stories are likely to fall into the same trap that "infinite" procedurally generated games usually do - technically having infinite content to explore doesn't necessarily mean that content is infinitely engaging. You will get bored when you start to notice the same patterns coming up over and over again.

Procgen games mainly work when the procedural parts are just a foundation for hand-crafted content to sit on, whether that's crafted by the players (as in Minecraft) or the developers (as in No Mans Sky after they updated it a hundred times, or Rougelikes in general).

These models won't need you to retopo meshes, write custom shaders, or optimize Nanite or Lumen gameplay. They'll generate the final frames, sans traditional graphics processing pipeline.

> The 1 thing required for serious developers is control

Same with video and image models, and there's tremendous work being done there as we speak.

These models will eventually be trained to learn all of human posture and animation. And all other kinds of physics as well. Just give it time.

> Those who need maximum control over every frame and every millisecond and CPU cyle will still use engines.

Why do you think that's true? These techniques can already mimic the physics of optics better than 80 years of doing it with math. And they're doing anatomy, fluid dynamics, and much more. With far better accuracy than game engines.

These will get faster and they will get controllable.
