Makes sense. I was saying that cheerleading is not a sufficient condition, while your point is that cheerleading is a necessary condition.
While I definitely don't agree with the 'sad puppies' movement, I do think that the Hugo has declined in quality recently (especially in terms of their nom slate) for somewhat similar reasons to what they identified
sorry, I'm thick. is this sarcasm?
This is addressed in TFA. In many cases, attempts to create a simplified version of a game just teach bad habits; strategies that work in the simplified game might be not just suboptimal when the full set of options is available, but actively counterproductive.

But I dare say many fans of "heavier" games - especially ones with more of a simulationist bent - would disagree that having fun is sufficient.
I thought the same when reading the article. All those rent-seeking policies that constrain the productivity of Kenya are not forever etched in stone. They aren’t fate. The government could change them. Blaming people who haven’t been around for many generations seems like excuses at this point.
*Nix was designed to be multi-user. It's probably the only security boundary that was present from nearly the start. I think there are some rough edges on the user-per-application model, but it should all be scriptable so that the machinations are mostly hidden.
Most of us felt exactly the same way about it then that we do now. The only difference is that fewer people take that cringy utopianism seriously now.
Right, vprox servers act as multiplexed NAT instances with a VPN attached. You do still need the VPN part though since our containers run around the world, in multiple regions and availability zones. Setting the gateway to a machine running fck-nat would only work if that machine is in the same subnet (e.g., for AWS, in one availability zone).

The other features that were hard requirements for us were multi-tenancy and high availability / failover.

By the way, fck-nat is just a basic shell script that sets the `ip_forward` and `rp_filter` sysctls and adds an IP masquerade rule. If you look at vprox, we also do this but build a lot on top of it. https://github.com/modal-labs/vprox
My favourite board game rulebook is Pictomania. It starts by giving a very high level view of what the whole game looks like. It's a single page in the rulebook and doesn't get bogged down in details.

Then, it explains the small details of the scoring system. Since you know how the whole game basically works you can mentally hang the smaller rules onto the overall game system.

It reminds me of Jeremy Howards Fast AI course. He teaches "the whole game" with some of the details skipped. Then, he adds details one by one so you never get lost. The analogy often used is teaching sports to children. You start with a simplified version of the sport (For soccer: kick the ball into the other goal) and then you add extra rules (out of bounds, off-side, penalties etc) when they come up.
X86 throws away half its computing power on antivirus bloatware. And what other performance is left is hidden behind opaque instruction caching and look ahead. If they had actually given the end user access to speed, they might have chased speed themselves. As it was, the end user gave up on getting performance out of x86.
At the same time, turning on FIPs mode is the way we discover that some of our modules were using MD5 in security critical places. Because the government actually enforces FIPS, people (primarily Red Hat I think), now actually put in the bare minimum of engineering effort so that when you set fips=1, the system will actually enforce the policy (unless you go out of your way to override it, or use a non distribution provided crypto stack).

Sure, now that the infrastructure for this has been built, it can be configured to require stronger crypto then FIPS does, but that infrastructure would never have been built without the likes of FIPS, and the government mandating it's use. And I know this because even with all of the hard engineering work done of building that infrastructure, there are no commonly used stronger policies; because the only people who actually care are the ones forced to care by the likes of FIPS.

Our electrical standards might not the safest way of wiring buildings, and not what we would come up with if we wrote the standards today. But they are orders of magnitude safer then what electricians would be doing without the standards.
I can see that, and it makes sense. But could do with being more clear.

While it does say "this is not a GPT", it doesn't particularly imply, especially to the less informed user, that the symptom checker is (I assume) a more straightforward tree-like search.

As a healthcare provider, can I -strongly- suggest that the symptom checker doesn't make such ... provocative ... inferences, disclaimers or not, especially after only a round or two of questions.

"I have left flank abdominal pain" shouldn't be met with "this is a symptom associated with ... [typhoid fever and cancers]". This is guaranteed to be fear-inducing.

Ironically, if you're tuning this for "potentially serious conditions", it's amplified. Even though you are trying to do a positive thing - flag concerns for followup with a HCP - the more serious the shortlist of conditions, the more serious the shortlist of possibilities becomes, and the absence of milder or relatively benign conditions is going to alarm people. They're not going to think "Oh, I was thinking it might be [minor abdominal condition] but now this thing is telling me to be mindful of these life threats!"

I'm always interested to see this kind of tooling, and it is clear that this is a work in progress. But I also wanted to give you "civilian" perspective (in my case, it was most likely a mild episode of diverticulitis, though my initial concern was a kidney stone).

I have no idea of your medical qualifications, so please don't take this condescendingly - I mean it sincerely (to the point where I vouched for your comments, as you appear to be 'dead'). But at a bare minimum, consider the SAMPLE-OPQRST methodology for gleaning some insights, before looking at potentials.

SAMPLE-OPQRST is taught to EMTs and paramedics (I myself teach it as an instructor and evaluator in EMS) as a baseline history-gathering tool.

SAMPLE refers to Signs/Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Pertinent medical history, Last oral intake, Events leading to present illness ("what prompted you to call 911?").

OPQRST allows you to delve more into each Symptom. Onset - did it come on quickly or gradually? Provocation - does anything make it better or worse? Quality - how would you describe the feeling of this symptom? Radiation - is the feeling (not "the pain", though it can include this) localized to one area, or does it spread? Severity - pain scale, 1-10. Time - how long have you had this symptom?
it's a book pretty popular among people who like tv/are not the most avid readers.

"These major methodological differences unfortunately invalidate Cheng et al.’s comparisons with and conclusions about our method. If Cheng et al. had reached out to the corresponding authors of the Nature paper[8], we would have gladly helped them to correct these issues prior to publication[9].

[8] Prior to publication of Cheng et al., our last correspondence with any of its authors was in August of 2022 when we reached out to share our new contact information.

[9] In contrast, prior to publishing in Nature, we corresponded extensively with Andrew Kahng, senior author of Cheng et al. and of the prior state of the art (RePlAce), to ensure that we were using the appropriate settings for RePlAce."
I've read a couple of Chambers' books and found them entertaining but I was frustrated that the books didn't go about answering the big questions that seemed to be at the heart of the world.

I really liked A Psalm for the Wild-Built but was hoping to learn more about the robots but then the second one came out and it was a lot of shallow philosophizing on the meaning of life that was more aimed at a level for YA books. There's nothing wrong with YA novels but that's not what I was looking for.

I think other factors are at play, namely crime, and the perception of crime. South Atlanta is a food desert yet a lot of people live there, people who can afford to buy at Aldi's and Lidl.

There is bias but I hesitate to name that bias because I think its a multitude of incorrect thinking.
I'd argue that really says more about capitalism, wealth distribution, and the financialization of everything, as opposed to software stuff per se--

Somewhat tangentially, what really perplexes me about Hawking radiation (HR) is this: What happens to the individual particles within the black hole as it evaporates? Like say we start with X particles. The black hole emits HR and shrinks a bit. But how exactly does it "give up" the energy from the black hole without destroying something in return? Does one particle just disappear and now we are left with X-1 particles (or what)? I haven't found any good explanations for this.

Dark roast isn't necessarily bad, quite a lot of people prefer the taste, especially if they're adding milk or other things to their drink.

But a dark roast is easier to produce, and easier to produce consistently. If you take high quality beans, and low quality beans, and roast them both to a dark level (let's say "French" or "Italian" roast), they're going to taste approximately the same. Therefore if you're producing coffee at a larger scale and want to save money, you can use cheaper beans and roast them dark to mask the imperfections that come with the cheaper beans.

There are some truly incredible coffees out there and a well-executed light or light-medium roast will bring out those flavors beautifully, but the quality starts at the coffee farm. You can't light roast a low quality coffee bean and expect those same excellent flavors.
exactly agreed, although i did end up enjoying it - it's pretty pulpy. I've been disappointed in recent trends in the Hugo

I'm a full-stack software engineer and a generalist. I launched my side-project Citadel here on Hacker News earlier this year to great fanfare, and it's got 1k+ stars on GitHub. Previously, I launched a React Native mobile app that offered pet parents 0% bridge financing loans for vet care in just four months, offering folks the ability to afford necessary vet care for the first time.

I've worked on static, server-rendered, and SPA websites, built React Native mobile apps, deployed APIs using Elixir, Python, and Typescript (Node.js + Deno), and recently I've been tinkering with desktop applications using Tauri + Rust.

It's an odd comparison because Starship is more of a "Shuttle done right" than Falcon 9:

Vertical take and return vs a vertical takeoff spaceplane

Methalox in both stages vs liquid hydrogen + solid fuel boosters

Lower build cost

Etc.
I sympathize with this view, but I think it glosses over some of the point of boardgames - simulation of a world. Chess has been around for hundreds of years with great depth, but it is not a good simulation of a war or a battle. If you want something like that, then that's going to lead you to have a longer rulebook. (Though many games could still do with some mechanism-pruning).
Noticeable change has definitely slowed down.

Personally I don’t mind their cadence. 3-4 year cycle is good for me and well within apples window.

I can understand OPs irritation though. Throwing working hardware out is not nice

More legitimate than the last Trump presidency that saw Trump granting pardons to convicted fraudsters like Michael Liberty; and while this escalation by Biden isn't right, given the circumstances and rhetoric of the President elect, I can't say I can't why Biden made the decision he did. Tit-for-tat. Exactly as predicted by game theory. Enjoy the consequences.

I can only hope this serves as a generational lesson as to the danger and power of the highest Office of the Executive Branch, and maybe knocks some sense into people that no, it ain't just a popularity contest. Just because a President doesn't have the power of the purse, doesn't mean a man can't do massive damage in 4 years. Not anymore.
US Gov's decisions are also keeping millions of people desperately poor. what's your point?
Kickstarter games tend to have far more design than development, as the success of the kickstarter campaign has little to do with the game being any good, but with the material available at campaign time being attractive. So overproduced games with way too much art, and way to many systems, end up doing far better than, say, a simpler game that would have gone through a more traditional euro publisher 10 years ago.

If you talk to people in industry, they realize that this is making the games worse, but it's making them sell better. Just like today, just like with a movie, high sales don't come from great mechanics, but franchises or licensing. Your superhero coop game is going to do much worse if it doesn't have a license. Why do we have so many boardgames with video game licenses? Because it sells. There's way too many games in the market right now for even industry insiders to good track of most offerings. Buyers working for large internet game stores are overwhelmed.

So no, game designers are 100% understanding their task, which is to make a game that gets backed and is profitable. Cutting half the game after you told backers what you were doing is a disaster, and it's all those extra rules and extra boards that sold the game in the first place. The fact that the game is shelved after 3 plays is not a problem for them.
Musk gets special benefit because anyone paying attention knows that he’s 5 years late on everything. I’m fairly sure we were supposed to be living on Mars several years ago, by now.

I agree it’s false advertising, and musk should be held accountable for that. But there has to be a little responsibility on consumers who pay for a thing that does exist and worse has actually never existed in the universe (camera-fed self driving)

>A big rule book makes the game feel less approachable. In the example provided at the bottom, the rewritten rulebook is ~50 pages. The original is 24. It doesn't matter how well it's written if it scares people off.

I get the sense from the comment section many others here are reacting to the article title and sharing their thoughts on board game rulebooks generally, rather than critiquing the article.

Which is to say, I think you're right. The linked PDF is 150 pages and I think that's discouraged many people from trying to consider the author's ideas. Even though they're presented in a way that seems intended to benefit from (and demonstrate) those very ideas and make the material easier to read, the sheer volume discourages many readers before the first word.

There was a part earlier where Johnson argues:

> That's about 60 years of rulebook design. The 2023 printing of Acquire's rulebook is more readable than any previous printing's rulebook. But each printing of Acquire's rulebook has the same basic structure. The 1960s printing had sections for: objective of the game, game terms, setup, play (playing tiles, buying stock, merging chains), end of the game, and edge cases. The 2023 printing has more detailed rules, more example images, and more tips for new players, but the order and presentation of rules is roughly the same.

... but the 2023 printing apparently runs to 16 half-size pages, where the original rules fit on the underside of the box top. (And from the photo, it appears to make some use of bullet-point lists, too.) And this is apparently a relatively light ruleset compared to the others discussed in the article.

Surely there's some compromise to be made here.

Not really. Elon Musk's case is outlandish. Who gets paid $101 billion pay package? Should the pay package of Tesla CEO be equal to the market caps of Ford and GM combined? It is crazy to suggest that. For comparison Tim Cook is paid around $63 million per year, and Satya Nadella is paid $79 million.

as the article states the problem is that the big supermarket chains dictate prices to their suppliers. that is, the suppliers can't afford to lower prices for everyone, but they are forced to to lower prices for the big chains because they also can't afford to lose the sales from the large chains. germany has the same problem.

what needs to stop is the abuse of the dominant position of the large chains.
