If you want a similar vibe but in a game explicitly designed for controller inputs, and if you like rhythm games, then try Crypt Of The Necrodancer (or its Zelda-themed spinoff, Cadence Of Hyrule).

In the same vein of controller-native games, if you want a platformer that is the spiritual sucessor to Nethack, then you want to check out the Spelunky series.
Just the top of the cancerous industrial iceberg. Eventually people will figure out that consuming non-renewable resources at unsustainable rates and poisoning the environment with industrial toxic waste all in the name of profits and progress is actually the real existential risk to human survival. The system must change or we'll all continue to suffer the consequences of increasing pollution and dwindling natural resources.
Follow the money. Which companies are better at vacuuming money from all over the world into their countries of origin and exporting the rules, norms and regulations that everyone else -including domestic competition - has to play by. Is HSBC/JP Morgan more effective at this than Google/Apple?
You can do all this at an accounting level. But ultimately US government is buying things with debt, ie paying for goods and services from third parties with an IOU, and can only do it if people think they are getting a good deal.

The way you get shafted with debt is inflation. Barely a few years ago bond yields were around 0. If you lent money to the government then, you're already very behind because of inflation - you're not getting any interest, and by the time you are repaid, the money is worth far less than before.

Furthermore, the Fed can't really let interest rates diverge too much from inflation, since the mismatch drives inflation further. That's why the rates are around 4% now, even as the economy is slowing. They have to be up to contain inflation.

So then, as the election was playing out, you could see bond yields fluctuating in line with inflation expectation. Whenever Trump said something that sounded inflationary, like tarrifs, bond yields jumped up. That's not the Fed doing it, that's lenders demanding more interest from the US govt.

Now I agree the US can get away with this more than other places. They aren't far off Italian levels now, and that would be considered teetering around crisis levels. But it's fantasy to conclude the US can keep magicking money every year with no consequence.
Vision pro is pretty sweet, but it is indeed an early adopter product.

Strip it down to whats needed, no glass front, get it to 500 bux, let windows/android also use it, and it would be the gold standard (imho)
What I have been thinking a lot about lately is that the focus should not be on the work. The focus should be on the handoff. If you build something, the goal is to have someone else use it. The work should focus on easing that transition. If it's a technology, what do you need to characterize so that the product people can work with it? If it's a product, how do you make it easy for your customers to get it? If it's an internal tool, what context and familiarity does the user group have?
>being the largest economy, having a vast single market

America is NOT the largest market the EU is MUCH BIGGER. And it is not "America" that commercialises technology, but a small portion of California called The Valley.
> Stop making reactive decisions. If something bad happened on a total, extremely unlikely lark, don't act like it's going to happen again next week.

This is a central theme in Bruce Schneier's 2003 book Beyond Fear, which I continue to recommend 20 years after I first read it.
Show HN: LimeJourney – open-source Customer Engagement Platform
Hello HN - I’m Tobi and I am building LimeJourney. LimeJourney is an open source customer engagement platform, a Customer.io /braze etc alternative.

- For the past few weeks I have been hacking on LimeJourney during my free time and I’m inviting you to check it out and give your feedback. You can try out the demo with email and password demo@limejourney.com/demo@limejourney.com

- My Grand thesis for building LimeJourney is that the channels through which we currently receive notifications will not be changing anytime soon but with the increase in data - now more than ever - businesses that will catch the attention of customers are the ones who in some shape or form are intelligently sending notifications(possibly with AI).

- LimeJourney in its current form is very far off from what I hope for it to be but still solves a couple of issues I experienced when working on another project. LimeJourney is relatively cheap($50) - single base plan compared to the other big guys in the market(>$100). It is also open source and I’lld love to see folks who are able to, adopt and self host limeJourney. LimeJourney aims to play real nice with whatever you current email sending stack is and we already have integrations with Resend, AWS and are building more.

The codebase is on Github => https://github.com/LimeJourney/limeJourney

Thank you for checking this out. You can reach me at tobi@limejourney.com
Thanks for the feedback! I totally understand your concerns—those are common challenges I kept in mind while building Feedhunt.

- Feedhunt has a free tier to help indie makers and small projects get started without upfront costs.
- While sign-up is required for users to post feedback, it helps keep the platform clean and ensures quality input.

Other features:

- Interactive feedback boards with voting functionality
- Tagging system for organizing feedback (Suggestions, Bugs, etc.)
- Customizable design with logos and themes
- Sync with your roadmap to prioritize the right features
Also, there are no recurring payments—just two simple plans: a 3-month pass and a 1-year pass.

Would love for you to give it a try and let me know your thoughts!
> CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are not randomly gunned down...

Why not? I don't think random chance really cares about a person's occupation, it's just more unlikely because there are fewer of them.
This sounds like a cool and engaging idea. Although perhaps the name - "Courtship" - highly suggestive of dating and intimacy - might not be what you had in mind.
I'm not debating, I'm explaining the inaccuracies of their perspective.
Being poor is really terrible in the US, being rich is really great. Everybody learns this from day 1 and get reminded of it almost daily.

There are downsides to such a society but it creates a strong incentive to get rich, or at least to never become poor, and thus more economic activity.
> Objectively speaking, what advantages does it bring?

Lack of random crashes due to memory corruption.

Lack of data corruption due to undetected memory corruption that has been written to disk or the network.

Yes, these numbers for any individual user are quite small. But the definitely happen. If you have crash metrics for a client application you can see a very significant difference between ECC and non-ECC users. Some of this can be explained by general hardware quality but it is undeniable that having memory that randomly has errors is a real problem with adverse effects.
Let me know about any ideas here or over the sleek plan link!
They're not saying that it's not a systemic problem, they're just saying it's not a company problem.

Housing being too expensive is not a company problem for example.
You also have the silly situation where everything I own is worth more to me than it is worth - otherwise I'd have not bought it.

And even if my car is worth $5k, not having to sell it and buy another one (even if I can find it) is worth a premium.

It's likely that something like Harberger taxes could work in certain situations, but not normal people ones.
That is one of the differences between a platform systems language, and guest languages.

You only have to check the additional bytecode that gets generated, to work around the features not natively supported.
Thanks for that link!

> is PvP multiplayer considered a "story"?

Consider EVE Online. The stories it generates are Shakespearean and I defy anyone to argue that they have no plot.

I would go further and predict that stories generated by sufficiently advanced AI can explore much more interesting story landscapes because they need not be bound by the limitations of human experience. Consider what stories can be generated by an AI which groks mathematics humans don't yet fully understand?

With that said, I don't really find this metaphor to be applicable though.

I'm sure they would be happy with you testing Luanti to see if there are equivalents.

Like, how do you generate random dots in Luanti? How do you record deaths? Or do you use other methods entirely? Is velocity isotropic or is traveling on the diagonal faster/slower than horizontal/vertical?

You could go one step further and write it up.

Some of the population is definitely thriving.

Although, does that reflect in higher quality of life? Some statistics say no. The best quality of life is where there is good access to quality healthcare, education, clean air and water, culture, and low crime. When taking into account all the above, somewhat surprisingly, Austria and Switzerland come as top places to live. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_quality_of_life_indices
Hardcore purists categorize the genre into "traditional roguelikes" (could be mistaken for original Rogue if you squint) and "roguelites" (all the other genre mashups).

In the traditional category, Switch has Shiren 5 and 6, Jupiter Hell, and Tanglewood. Maybe Dragon Fang Z and Void Terrarium, haven't played them. Crown Trick and Crypt of the Necrodancer/Cadence of Hyrule straddle the gap, not quite traditional and not quite "lite."

...and that's about the extent of it. A lot of traditional roguelikes are hobby projects without widespread commercial appeal that never make off PC. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of quality roguelites on Switch.

The price of a kilowatt hour of electricity is not determined by the cheapest power plant operating when you buy it, but by the most expensive. You buy the marginal kilowatt. And solar+wind continues to be a relatively small fraction of the US energy market. The DoE did a report when Biden took office in 2021 and the progressive wave was in full swing:

Making energy cheaper and the dollar stronger helps all businesses which depend on energy or imports, particularly manufacturing, and US manufacturing output currently exceeds the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain combined. And all over the thread you'll find people arguing over nominal GDP versus PPP, but what's not in doubt is that the balance of nominal GDP versus PPP is related to the strength of the dollar. Imports are vital to US industry — we thrive on buying less processed inputs from cheaper countries and producing high-value outputs. All of this is affected by the US oil and gas industry.

Fascinating. Not far from Alberta, here in Victoria BC I see rats on a very regular basis. They're all over the place. I used to live in a neighbourhood called Fernwood and had serious issues with rats infiltrating all parts of my home and shed. They'd create nests in strange places out of any kind of fibre they could find. I must have seen one per month at least while walking or riding my bike around, skittering across the road or between gardens. One time I got to see a hawk swoop down and grab one as it ran down the sidewalk.

A couple months ago I saw one making some hilarious vertical hops trying to grab onto the siding of my neighbour's townhouse in broad daylight. The city is covered in them.

Alberta must have excellent border patrol

Most people seem to form and quickly calcify their opinions about LLM's based on a really small sample of initial uses.

In my experience, all of the leading edge models fall over in the same ways that people are mentioning here as particularly frustrating with Gemini(s), it is just a matter of probability, I tend to sample multiple models and multiple formulations when I have a question, and sometimes you hit the "jackpot" where the particular sequence of input tokens have pushed one model to exactly the right zone to start printing the tokens I want.

> Perhaps a "Ship of Theseus"-style approach would work — gradually replacing neurons one by one, or brain sections piece by piece.

You just blew my mind (no pun intended).

In this thread, we're basically alluding to the Hard Problem of Consciousness[0]. Consciousness is hard to define, and even harder to prove, and so conversations that talk about it become difficult.

There's certainly a certain subset of the brain you can take out and still have no effect on consciousness. Assuming you could replace small parts at a time, what would happen? At what point does the "mind", "self", or "consciousness" get lost?

Chipotle is raising prices 2% in response to inflation
I did my high school senior project on NEAT! It was a c++ project set up as an "ants eating food" expermient where their miniscule brains learned over several iterations to go to the closest food and eat it.

I later did a version (in common lisp) where instead of an ant knowing where the nearest food was, it had a visual field extending forward that would feed as inputs to the NN. Then added predators, poisonous food items, etc etc. It was fascinating seeing it all unfold.

Genetic algorithms seem like a somewhat forgotten but very handy tool for ML. I've always wondered what the cost of running experiments on species/populations over and over for however many hundreds of iterations is compared to something like back propagation on a large network.
The living paycheck to paycheck stat is meaningless. It generates headlines, because bad news wins, but if you dig in, even the surveys that ask about this reveal that a large percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck are very financially secure, both objectively, and according to their own assessment. I don't have time right now, but I'd encourage anyone reading this to go find the actual source for this stat and read their full report. Last time I looked, it was freely available.

Many of those people living paycheck to paycheck have a budget where they're saving or investing a significant amount of their money, and accordingly, money feels tight. This is the financially sound way to avoid lifestyle creep, but it doesn't mean you're in a precarious position. Or alternatively, they're paying for really expensive, but optional things like private schooling and expensive cars or vacations.

Obviously some people are struggling, but this paycheck-to-paycheck stat is not an accurate way to quantify that. It's best IMO to look at objective metrics like the poverty rate, or people's objective financial picture (available via surveys.)
>None of my friends, family, or acquaintances in my entire life have been a victim of gun violence. ... I realize that’s a class issue, and that there is more gun violence in the US than in Europe, but it’s just not part of the day-to-day reality for most people.

I'm curious roughly how old you are. I grew up in a fairly well off suburb of Seattle and am in my mid 30s. At some point around 2020 I realized that among my friends, parents/kids of friends, and coworkers there had been 8 or 9 incidents of newsworthy gun violence in my fairly close contacts. In a way I would consider myself as having grown up fairly sheltered and so it was a surprising realization.

Newsworthy used to avoid digression about mass shootings vs shootings, as you did about suicide. I think most were reported as mass shootings but I'm not certain now.

*posted from a new account while traveling, I'm not meaning to come off as a troll jumping in to focus on guns as a topic. It just stood out to me as I was reading.

This is the common expat mistake. Your cost of living can grow very high, if you try to replicate your old lifestyle in a country that doesn't support it. With the same approach, you can also find that living in the US is 2x to 3x more expensive than in Western Europe. (I personally settled for 2x by making some compromises.)
no, because then everyone can set it to display how he likes
I think you can get a generalisation of autodiff using this idea of "nonstandard real numbers": You just need a computable field with infinitesimals in it. The Levi-Civita field looks especially convenient because it's real-closed. You might be able to get an auto-limit algorithm from it by evaluating a program infinitely close to a limit. I'm not sure if there's a problem with numerical stability when something like division by infinitesimals gets done. Does this have something to do with how Mathematica and other CASes take limits of algebraic expressions?

-----

Concerning the Dirac delta example: I think this is probably a pleasant way of using a sequence of better and better approximations to the Dirac delta. Terry Tao has some nice blog posts where he shows that a lot of NSA can be translated into sequences, either in a high-powered way using ultrafilters, or in an elementary way using passage to convergent subsequences where necessary.

An interesting question is: What does distribution theory really accomplish? Why is it useful? I have an idea myself but I think it's an interesting question.

It's possible you got lost in the comment thread. I said one of those things and the original commentor said the other.

--The original commentor said that it "kinda ruined their day a bit" and felt a little intrusive.

--Then someone responded by saying that is was just things that occur in every day life and doesn't violate anyone's privacy.

--Then I responded to clarify that things which occur in every day life can still be intrusive to privacy i.e. sex, breakups, drug use, etc.

I did not say that people were having sex in these clips, nor did the original commentor.

It started to some degree centuries before, but it was a slow road to see people fully embrace the new world of selling time. Selling things remained the norm for a long time after the first worker started working for wages. However, by the 1970s, nearly everyone was working for wages. The rate of self-employment has remained effectively stagnant since then. This period marks, for all intents and purposes, the limit of human labor productivity.

Productivity has continued to rise since, but on the back of automation, not as a result of humans becoming even more productive laborers.
