Then it will be merely as bad-off as most games!

Keep the rules, but ditch any lengthy written blow-by-blow account of a session of the game. They're painful to read and not terribly illuminating. The motivation is to replicate the sort of thing a video's good at, to make the rulebook a self-contained teaching device—"if watching a round of play is so useful, why don't we put that in the book!"—but it's just not gonna work. You need a video, someone to explain it to you, setting up the game and stepping through a couple fake turns with yourself, close reading of the rules with some note-taking and re-reading, that kind of thing. In short, you need a teacher (in person, or video) or good application of study skills. There is a Royal Road, but it's the former options (videos, teachers who already know the game) and you're not going to bring that to the rule book in just about any case that needs such a thing.
I love those 12-line long warnings when someone posts to an open email list.
There's a good episode of PBS Spacetime about Penrose diagrams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4oYvSH6jJ8

It gets a little far into the weeds in a very "the map is not the territory" kind of way, but is fun none the less.

I think (it is not addressed to my satisfaction in the video) that it is implied that from inside the black hole, assuming it was formed from a collapsing star, you would see all around you the event horizon: behind you, the unverise at the time you crossed the event horizin, in front of you, the surface of the star at the moment of its collapse. The singularity, as the post covers, exists only in your future, so you could not see it, even though you will always end up there.
(REMOTE) Looking for someone with experience with ads to help me out with a simple games site in the vein of Wordle or 2048. Site is written in Typescript frontend and back. Express.js backend and React frontend.

Basically a one-time gig project, not a full-time position. I don't know much about setting ads up and have had limited luck in my initial research into it since it seemed Google Ads doesn't support sites that aren't full of rich text content (i.e. not games sites) and most other ad providers require you to already have a large userbase or else to use them as your DNS which I didn't want to do.

Personally I keep two phones. I keep a very old Android phone that I like to use, then a new iPhone that I keep "normal". I use the Android phone for as much as possible, but bank apps don't work any more and many apps dropped support for my version years ago. In these cases, when required, I drop down to the iPhone and pretend to be a "normal" user; I install all my updates, use the stock browser, sign into all the cloud crap, pick the easy sign-in options to everything. The most expected, everage user that everybody is catering towards.

Using the iPhone sucks, but owning it lets me mostly use the Android phone I actually like, while still being able to do everything I would otherwise be arbitrarily restricted from doing.
I think in that case you can only guarantee that the code you're looking at isn't broken in some ways neither I or the author on Reddit know enough to spot.

If Claude generates it and it produces correct output for the challenge but is subtly broken on some edge case not in the challenge input, how is it difference from pulling some code from Reddit that produces correct output for the challenge but is subtly broken on some edge case not in the challenge input?
Does this also work for macro shots, like a landscape? all the examples are focused on specific objects
> I find it really odd that you wouldn't notice some of the improvements between iPhone 8 to 16.

I'm sure they notice some improvements, when I was out shopping for a new phone I could tell the then-flagship iPhone 13 having a slightly better display and a slightly better camera than 11 even by playing with it at the store.

But then, I've upgraded from an iPhone 6S+ to iPhone 11, and even 11 was unnecessary to me. I just had to because I bought the 16GB model back then, the lowest storage option, and with ever larger iOS updates my phone wasn't usable anymore.

With that a perfectly usable iPhone 6S became electronic waste, and I was out 600 euros, to do exactly what I've been doing on 6S: browsing, instant messaging, Uber and Uber-likes. Now the fonts look a little nicer, and camera is so much better, and that's.. about it for noticeable features for me. I wouldn't pay that much for either of those if I could.

My point is, I think smartphones hit a ceiling of useful features a long time ago. The big features, all the important stuff, the GPS, camera, browser, IM and a few other things have been figured out since a decade now. There are some smartphone "power users" who don't have a computer or maybe a TV and use it for watching movies, playing games or they are amateur photographers/influencers and such, for them maybe these new models still offer something. For everyone else an iPhone 16 does what an iPhone 6 does, just a little fancier.
> even your metaethics must have some axiomatic basis

Sure. But that base is, for the present time, being set by humans. Not acknowledging that is naïve.

> ultimately it comes down to human privilege, just not at a specific part

How do you define human privilege?

When I've seen the term, it's been framed against non-human life. It thus doesn't make sense to assert human privilege against non-living entities. When one does, one isn't asserting a human privilege, but a privilege of the living. (Or more accurately, of the sentient. Those with agency.)
Thank you. It is indeed true that .NET has some gaps in its SIMD API, which might require either writing a specific routine in C and pinvoking it or implementing the algorithm differently.

Were there any other factors that contributed to the decision?

FWIW I forwarded the issue the discussion links to dotnetevolution discord server.
> What do you do to counter this?

I don't say what I do for a living except when it's important to reveal that (which it rarely is). If pressed, I'll just say "I'm a programmer", make sure to mention that I don't work for a SV-style company, and leave it at that.

Fortunately, at least in my part of the US, "what do you do for a living" is a question that is rarely casually asked.

May I ask where you are from and where you live now? I come from one of those "rising nations" you allude to and every single friend and family I have there now own at least one car. FWIW, they all live in cities which were there even before the cars were invented.

If you think rising nations can skip cars, then I am afraid that you don't really know such societies.

Ask HN: What companies in SF are still in-person?
I'm one of the rare few who prefer working in-person.

It seems like many of the companies that used to be in-person in San Francisco have closed their offices and gone remote-only (for example Github and Airbnb) and in-person jobs seem more common in the South Bay.

Aside from startups, what major companies are still in SF?

Figma | Senior/Staff Security Engineer | Remote or Hybrid (US/CA) | Full-Time | https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/figma/jobs/4214880004

Figma does web-based software for Design and Productivity, kinda like Photoshop merged with Google Docs (live collaboration). We use FigJam a lot internally for meetings which is like a shared whiteboard.

Anyway, I'm on the security team and we're looking to hire more folks as the rapidly company scales.

The Security team is unique in wanting engineers with both a coding and security background. If you are a classic SWE but possess security-fu then you're welcome to apply! That's the route I took and many of the other folks on the team have too.

My sub-team, AI Security, works on the security of our new AI features (mostly hardening infrastructure and making the data we train on anonymized). My personal focus has been on security of our data recently (Snowflake mostly) which has been a new domain for me.

The other teams are focused around Application Security and Infrastructure Security (with some "endpoint" aka Mac security sprinkled in).

The roles are broad and if you're interested you're welcome to apply on the link above. I can respond to questions at fwortley at figma dot com too, but heads up that I may be high latency with the upcoming holidays!

Also note: The bar is really Senior and up. The company doesn't really hire below that unless you go through the internship program or have a strong personal referral for a team with an opening. (~5 years of experience being the rough rule of thumb unless you're already Senior at a 200+ engineer company.)

Anyway, happy holidays y'all and thanks for reading!

I followed a similar approach recently to create map layers with Sentinel-2 imagery.

Webp encoded tiles extracted from the CoGs available on AWS then embedded within a pmtiles file.

I was seeing almost an order of magnitude reduction in file size compared to the CoGs with no visible image degradation.
If you don't have that much, you can always negotiate down. So ultimately, you are really looking for an intersection of: those who do not have insurance, those who get snake bites, those who cannot negotiate for whatever reasons and thus face death/medical bankruptcies. My gut feeling tells me that it is a very small number, but happy to learn from actual data if it is readily available.
It was the DDR who developed the modern Vietnamese coffee industry, collapsing before it could benefit.

Beginning in 1975, largely parallel with the coffee crisis in East Germany, the production of Robusta coffee began in Vietnam. Robusta plants grow faster, contain more caffeine, suit the climate of the Vietnamese Central Highlands, and lend themselves better to mechanized harvesting.

That isn't an accurate comparison. Asking an AI is functionally equivalent to searching the web. Your comparison is like saying you can't get strong by filling up the buckets you have handy with water and lifting them, you have to do what real bodybuilders do and lift weights. Whether I'm researching the answer using a search engine or an AI prompt, the result is the same.
>a silly way of broadly describing the conflict

Admittedly, the comment you responded to is sparse on details but in addition to other goals--some of them noble--money laundering and other adjacent activities by those close to the center of power is often a side effect characteristic of these sorts of adventures. It's reasonable to posit that both noble actions and lots of neferious activities can co-exist. And since the commenter specifically mentions the plea deal in relation to Hunter's past dealings with Ukraine, it should be reasonable to assume he was referring to that aspect of the war.

I tried reading the comment in good faith so I thought the commenter was alluding to Hunter's alleged entaglements with Ukraine, being on a board or advisor to some ukranian company or whatnot when he had no qualifications for being there. A reasonable devil's advocate position would suggest that the pardon would prevent Hunter from being forced to expose other incriminating details in exchange for leniency, if there was such a possibility.

Ah, sorry, mea culpa I thought the 7 and 8 were getting the same updates.

So the 7 is stuck on 15, and it is the one being left out courtesy of 15. Still doesn't address the submission though that is claiming this about the 8 and 16, which as of now is still very widely supported. I assume the author is just reading the tea leaves and predicting what is ahead. Eventually 16 will be deprecated too, though it isn't right now.

FlightAware on the App Store likely works perfectly, though it would require 16.4+ on devices like the 8 or newer. The "you can't use this anymore" is likely a startup API check on previously installed and no longer updatable versions.
The first step when doing optimization is to measure, so that one knows where efforts have significant results.

I am arguing that our efforts should be in proportion to their payoff for environmental efforts as well.

Or more precisely, we should spend our environmental efforts in ways that maximize their returns.

Thus, here I am spending lots of time commenting on how a tiny minor change in driving habits will have bigger effects than large changes in phone habits.

Unicorn. I do branding [1], design, and full-stack JavaScript development. I built the Joystick JavaScript framework (full-stack [2]) and Push deployment service [3]. Recently shipped Parrot [4].

Looking to work with entrepreneurs and small teams (or VCs who need a sharp shooter who can deliver) who need help shipping product and features that work from day one, fast. 17+ years of experience running a small business/shipping software, so I don't need to be babysat—just set loose with a clear idea of what needs to be built and open lines of communication if/when I have questions. The catch: using freelance work to finance product ideas and have freedom to do work on my terms (i.e., I can be available to consult long-term but not looking to transition to a full-time position).

Average time to brand, design, and ship a full-stack app is 3-6 months but I can move faster if you're willing/able to delegate 100%.

We (the industry) paid (barely) an army of immigrant labor to run around turn valves on/off on 4 wheelers. The (automated) irrigation systems are (primarily) to reduce labor costs. There are some plusses to precision watering as well. But the industry is about labor cost reduction.
I wonder how big a downside an x86 monopoly would actually be these days (an M4 MacBook being the best perf/watt way to run x86 Windows apps today as it is) and how that compares to the downsides of not allowing x86 to consolidate efforts against rising competition from ARM CPUs.

The problem with the "use the GPU in a SoC" proposition is everyone that makes the rest of a SoC also already has a GPU for it. Often better than what Intel can offer in terms of perf/die space or perf/watt. These SoC solutions tend to coalesce around tile based designs which keep memory bandwidth and power needs down compared to the traditional desktop IMR designs Intel has.

Do you have experience with SYCL? My experience with OpenCL was that it's really a PITA to work with. The thing that CUDA makes nice is the direct and minimal exercise to start running GPGPU kernels. write the code, compile with nvcc, cudaed.

OpenCL had just a weird dance to perform to get a kernel running. Find the OpenCL device using a magic filesystem token. Ask the device politely if it wants to OpenCL. Send over the kernel string blob to compile. Run the kernel. A ton of ceremony and then you couldn't be guarenteed it'd work because the likes of AMD, Intel, or nVidia were all spotty on how well they'd support it.

SYCL seems promising but the ecosystem is a little intimidating. It does not seem (and I could be wrong here) that there is a defacto SYCL compiler. The goals of SYCL compilers are also fairly diverse.
Coal is a dead man walking, not just in the US, but around the world. Systematic market forces have eliminated any financial advantage to coal. China uses it to fill in for gaps in renewables, but has very low capacity factors for their plants.

IMHO we should spend lobbying efforts on the things that will have greater effects, like approving apartment buildings in walkable areas.

I agree with your assessment that we should change what we can and should optimize how we spend our time creating change, but IMHO the best possible outcome of advocating for phone change is that people think "hey yeah let's change this," but then get told "oh so you are OK with that change, how about something far far bigger for small effort?"

We seriously only need to do very small changes to urban planning to effect massive change compared to phones. And those small changes have the effect of growing. And they are necessary urban planning changes, and the longer we put them off the less likely we can have the snowball rolling where we need it to be.

When I was an undergraduate we had Schaum's Outline Series (do they still exist?).

The optimal strategy was still to try and do the solved problems by yourself and then verifying your solution.
