> and don't bother arguing that this would be foolish and self-destructive, this is Blizzard we're talking about

for some context, some of Blizzard's previous self destructive antics:

Starcraft 2: refused to let existing Korean SC1 leagues/orgs play SC2. leagues (vast majority of esports audience) simply stayed on SC1 rather than submit

Overwatch: terminated license for all third party OW tournaments, so they could launch official Overwatch League (which then failed)

WC3 reforged: so unreliable (kept dropping games in progress, ruining everyone) that everyone just gave up
It's using that expendable developer time to free some precious extra developer-machine-CPU time.

Who wouldn't want to spend some weeks or hard labor so their computers can work for a few less seconds? Let's keep what's really important in mind!
Next-Level Development: Harnessing AI with AIDE
> Their doctors are left to walk a tightrope trying to convince insurers that patients are making enough progress to stay in treatment as long as they actually need it, but not so much that the companies prematurely cut them off from care. And when insurers demand that providers spend their time justifying care, it takes them away from their patients.

I don't know how this isn't considered the insurance companies practicing medicine without a license.
The vast majority of “fringe” stuff comes from people who don’t really understand the standard model or modern consensus. It consists of half-baked ideas that don’t hold up to passing scrutiny by those who understand the field. Not because of any bias… but because the ideas have glaring flaws, don’t explain existing observations well, or are mostly incoherent.

Science is hard, and it takes a lot of work.

I’m guessing this is what the parent comment was referencing.
That depends. 5G at low speeds allows for much longer range which I like when I travel in a very remote area. 5G also allows for much faster speeds at very low range, so if you are in a very crowded city you will notice. For most people most of the time they are not in such a remote area that only 5G towers can be affordably built, nor are is data so congested that they would notice the shared bandwidth limitations.

About once a year I do travel through those remote areas where my 4g phone never got service, but as soon as I got 5g I had service (there are still areas so remote I don't get 5g service either)
they should be sued for billions by a patient's family, in case the cutting off of coverage lead to death/worsening.

I really don't get, how it became like it is. In Europe, that would be illegal.
This is just evidence that the real "us vs. them" isn't social, its rich vs everyone else. They don't have borders, obey laws, or pay taxes like us.
Reframe this as scaling test time compute using a human in the loop as the reward model.

Many things that come next isn't programming as we know it.

Already today, see SaaS products for content management, CMS and no-code frontend.

There is zero programming, what one ends up doing is configuring SaaS products to connect among themselves, plug data sources, have AI algorithms process marketing data, export a generated UI into Vercel/Nelify and that is about it for 90% of customers.
> I have personally experienced it.

They know who is in your proximity based on standard geolocation / ip techniques, and if someone in your vicinity searches for something then you will see ads based on that.

That’s why if you are talking about a movie or product you will see ads later - someone else in the group googled it.

Obviously we don’t know 100% but I don’t think what you experienced is what you think - I have yet to see hard evidence for it happening, at the OS level anyway. I’m sure a few apps might be doing it.
> an evolved response to an environmental change.

This is still a "by pure chance" event, yea? Otherwise we're just back to intelligent design. Surely the issue is that we have fundamentally few ways of analyzing how probable that single event is/was.
You're painting a picture of CEOs and their investors as an ontological evil, not by choice, but by unavoidable virtue of their role.

This could've been searing satire, had you intended it that way.
Steam is amazing because Valve are benevolent dictators. It’s easy to forget that we don’t actually have any rights. I’m afraid of what happens when Gabe leaves.
I just watched the video KiCad Introduction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9b_6WLemmg). It's only five minutes and I feel like I'm now "PhD Level."

All joking aside, any suggestions on a fun starting project? I do understand subtractive synthesis (software side) and music production and your project looks so fun, but definitely out of my league. As a fan of yours, I'm interested in any suggestions you have on jumping in. But, I'll keep reading about HOG until then.

>A few hours after the session, Moore drove herself to a hospital and was admitted to the emergency room, accelerating a downward spiral that would eventually cost the insurer tens of thousands of dollars, more than the cost of the treatment she initially requested.

I don't mean to diminish the struggle that Moore went (is going?) through, but at least there was some kind of karmic retribution here.
There was some love triangle drama between a GTA RP streamer and Chandler Riggs (Carl from The Walking Dead) that eventually ended in Chandler never returning to RP again. IIRC someone stole someone's girl, don't remember who but it caused a lot of bad blood.

Transcendental Syntax
Just a thought – could the existence of something like dark matter actually be causing the differences in the rate of time in different parts of the universe? If dark matter affects gravity in ways we don't fully understand, maybe it's also influencing time dilation across the cosmic web. That might reconcile these two ideas – with dark matter being the underlying cause of the time variations that timescape cosmology talks about. I'm curious if anyone has explored this connection or if it's completely off base?

Come to think of it, another angle to consider – could it work the other way around? Instead of dark matter causing time dilation, could time dilation itself be a root cause that leads to the accumulation or creation of something like dark matter? If time moves differently in certain regions, maybe it affects how matter and energy interact over cosmic timescales, creating the conditions we interpret as dark matter. Just wondering if this has been explored or if it’s way out there as an idea? I’m definitely not a cosmologist!
On the other hand, MC is the most "solved" out of all the raids at this point though in terms of mechanics. The most experienced folks can low-man it with 10-20 people using mediocre gear (as long as they have some fire res). And its something that casuals can pug these days as well, I've hopped into a pug myself on an era realm with mostly blues as a resto shaman and was fine.

I tend to agree though that for "content" reasons this sounds impossible, someone will wipe the raid just for the laughs.

So... not liable then.
In certain places like Bluesky I use my real name.

>A few hours after the session, Moore drove herself to a hospital and was admitted to the emergency room, accelerating a downward spiral that would eventually cost the insurer tens of thousands of dollars, more than the cost of the treatment she initially requested.

Is the issue here that most patients in this slot would have just made-do with the lower level of care, so the insurance company is saving money even if a handful end up in the emergency room? Or is it that the insurance company is inept and is not even saving money in expectation?

I'm not sure whether "is too cut-throat at saving money" or "is too incompetent at saving money" is the worse problem to have, but they probably have different solutions.
A database abstraction layer around DynamoDB for Python. boto3 is a little messy, and I don't care for the ergonomics of PynamoDB after using it for the last several years.

AWS CDK constructs to add common alerting patterns to Lambda/SQS/etc. CloudWatch is capable of a lot, and having some constructs with reasonable default strategies would be use for side projects and smaller start-ups that can't afford some of the providers or have the time to roll it themselves.

I just wanted to say this. If the recruiter sees a fit with a job I'm actually interested in they are doing all the work of chasing the other company. Automation or not, I think many companies aren't able or willing to put in the (team)work to create a working hiring process.
I'm guessing then you've never had to deal with optimizer bugs.
Nothing wrong with that. I find creating and supporting creators to be fulfilling.
Gave you an upvote to compensate
With the horrible reputation US insurance gets, is there some reason why smaller insurance companies aren't popping up to deliver better quality (i.e. less denials)? Is the field simply heavily protected by lobbying and regulatory capture?

The Hard Truth About Building Passive Income
I could be wrong, but I think in peacetime changes in training are I think glacial. The UK for example has a lot of regulations controlling the use of drones during training. They will all have to be undone, which will take a long time, and then you need to start producing vast numbers of drones and get used to using them as munitions - another mass of bureaucracy and years of delay.

If you search that thread for my name you'll find dozens of passionate comments about it!

Short version: I'm confident some ad sales people decided to lie in a pitch deck to take advantage of a common conspiracy theory. I don't think they accidentally blew the lid off the actual conspiracy in a PDF they put on their website.
Another adage is "code should be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute". This goes directly against code being written by machines.

I still use ChatGPT for small self-contained functions (e.g. intersection of line and triangle) but mark the inside of the function clearly as chat gpt made and what the prompt was.
Paraphrasing somebody: Win32 is the most stable Linux API.
Difftastic would not solve the issue described by madeofpalk because it still highlights the added comma. You need a diff tool that can distinguish between optional and required syntax. So far I am not aware of any tool that supports this, except the one I am working on (SemanticDiff).
No, that example is not something that I would find very useful or a good example of its abilities- just one thing I generally expected it to be capable of doing. One can quickly confirm that it is doing the work and not copying and pasting the list by altering the recipe to include steps and ingredients not typical for such a recipe. I made a few such alterations just now, and reran it, and it adjusted correctly from a clean prompt.

I've found it able to come up with creative new ideas for solving scientific research problems, by finding similarities between concepts that I would not have thought of. I've also found it useful for suggesting local activities while I'm traveling based on my rather unusual interests that you wouldn't find recommended for travelers anywhere else. I've also found it can solve totally novel classical physics problems with correct qualitative answers that involve keeping track of the locations and interactions of a lot of objects.. I'm not sure how useful that is, but it proves real understanding and modeling - something people repeatedly say LLMs will never be capable of.

I have found that it can write okay code to solve totally novel problems, but not without a ton of iteration- which it can do, but is slower than me just doing it myself, and doesn't code in my style. I have not yet decided to use any code it writes, although it is interesting to test its abilities by presenting it with weird coding problems.

Overall, I would say it's actually not really very useful, but is actually exhibiting (very much alien and non-human like) real intelligence and understanding. It's just not an oracle- which is what people want and would find useful. I think we will find them more useful with having our own better understanding of what they actually are and can do, rather than what we wish they were.
Feedback would be welcomed!

Cool, this is an interesting article
> We need new economic drivers for spaceflight. Something new and potentially bigger than any existing space industry such as telecommunications, remote sensing, launch and research. This is the missing piece to speed up development for the exciting Star Trek-like future. I believe in-space manufacturing will be the kickstarter and foundation.

Has this sort of thing actually worked out historically? I’d expect factories to be build in space if it was economically beneficial, and I’d expect cheap space flight to be a requirement rather than an outcome. We didn’t start working inside cities to justify busses, right?
Thank you for your appreciation and suggestions. I’m not quite sure how to publish it to MELPA, but I’ll figure it out as soon as possible.
Morality doesn't stop applying just because you agreed to accept money in exchange for hurting people.
Like all plants that produce sugar produce left-handed sugar molecules. And all animals that can digest sugar can only digest left-handed sugar molecules. There was no meeting, this is just the way it worked out.
Shareholders of publicly traded businesses have governance power; they can vote for or against board members and policy documents.

Perhaps this is one of the concerns with the rise of index funds— fewer investors make use of their governance power and the index funds just vote according to the recommendations of the current board.
Many people don't have a choice in which company to go with. My employer chooses the company, not me.
Depends on the recruiter, some get commissions, others are hired with a flat rate. The problem I've sometimes seen with companies hiring while working there is they have expectations that are impossible to fulfill. E.g. some niche knowledge or an ancient hiring process that doesn't really work, so hiring by themselves takes forever.
Wishful thinking. Like Mars, on which we'd already be by now based on promises, but we aren't getting anywhere closer anytime soon...

Meanwhile we've been losing the ability to make all kinds of stuff to China, or severely degrade the skills and expertise of the people in places like Boeing compared to the nerds that build the original planes in the 60s and 70s...
I read it more as - in a big company there are a lot of people there just to get a paycheque who don't really care.

Which isn't really surprising. That is kind of what a job is. Company gives you money in exchange for them telling you what to do for a little while. There is a very real way where "becoming an npc" for 8 hours a day is what it means to be employed for a lot of people. That is not a dig at the person; we all need to do what we need to do to put food on the table.
Specifically for Java (though earlier versions were LISP) - I had the pleasure or using SeeBeyond‘ eGate , which did almost exactly this.

It was a horrible, slow ordeal.

IntelliJ’s structural search / editing is very powerful, but also arcane enough that few people I know actually use it.
>There is no offence for wearing hats in banks.

But banks aren't mandated to admit you either. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean a private establishment has to let you in. When it comes to denying entry, banks are relatively tame. Some establishments go beyond that, by denying entry unless you wear formal clothing, or presenting proof of identity.
Last time someone held a CEO truly responsible he was arrested.

I nonetheless agree CEOs should be held responsible.
Totally agree with all of these points. I will roll a new toon on an era HC server every now and again when I'm bored with current games, just because it does feel like a new experience for me every time. Trying to figure out the safest routes, best quests to grab, non-death skips to get to easier leveling experiences (my favorite is one that gets you to darkshore by way of menethil harbor), etc.
If that were true, the rational move for the US would have been to back off and let Putin's imperialist vision continue to unfold unimpeded. Eventually there would be an enormous market for weapons to eject his forces from Eastern Europe and points west.

What history tells us, though, is that the best time to stop Putin was 2014, and the second best time is now.
From my perspective, they are all derivatives of org-mode.
Carbon Ads seems like a good option: https://www.carbonads.net/

Sounds to me like a common Substack newsletter format - a monthly collection of links with commentary.

I get a decent amount of traction with my blog but it's still fundamentally for me: I run searches on it multiple times a day, it's effectively public bookmarks.
The strict mode benchmarks for Oj are in the test/perf_strict.rb. Others are are in perf_*.rb.

If callback parsing is not supported that's fine. Oj does support callback parsing as it allows elements in a JSON to be ignored. That save memory, GC, and performance. Your choice of course just as including callback parsers is a choice for Oj.

Ok, so you picked options that you knew would fail. Again you choice but there are certainly others that would trade a slight improvement in performance to not have 16+ significant digits. It's a choice. You are certainly entitled to you opinion but that doesn't mean everyone will share them.

I'm not sure what platform you are testing on but i'm sure there will be variations depending on the OS and the hardware. I tested on MacOS M1.
No modern addon lets you play the game for you, except maybe Hekili which displays your optimal damage rotation (but even that's a massive crutch). Addons such as DBM and WeakAuras all provide information that can be learnt manually with skill/experience (and some top players use minimal addons), but by design can't control player actions. It's more about reducing cognitive load.

The main difficulty with modern WoW is not standing in the fire that kills you in less time than human reaction speed, and using defensive abilities if you're taking damage that can't be avoided.
It must have been nerfed then. No way you could do this back in 2006 vanilla wow.
I'm not sure what you mean. I do believe this is essentially a value judgement, but one which I think is essential for any well functioning society, at least based on my personal interpretation.
Most things like patch would still use line diff. I think I would want this semantic diff in the merge request review and the logs. It could have definitions distributed with the syntax highlighters in language plugins in an editor/IDE, git CLI, and git forge.

I think you are looking from the wrong angle. Some court decisions basically said: "based on current Constitution w. amendments, this law fails on constitutional grounds". If change is needed, the people can always amend the Constitution, then laws can be passed. What you are saying is similar to "I am in the pool and I cannot swim because there is no water, so swimming pools are bad" when the answer is "fill it with water".
Why not do 120 then? We can show that the chance of false negative of 5 rounds is cryptographically negligible, so 5, 60, and 120 are all the same. If the only argument for 60 is that it's more and this is a really important rare operation, doesn't it also apply to 120?

I'm not trying to be glib, there is no rational stopping point if we reject the objective threshold.
Changing genres are easy. Some of my orchestra mates were multi-genre (jazz/classic for example). I used to play metal and classic back in the day.

What’s hard is changing instruments, which I have given as an example in one of my comments. Yes I did go thorough that one, too.
