I don't disagree at all with any of your insight. It took Unity and Epic well over a decade each of support and proven games to even get their foot in the door with some studios. And to this day quite a few prolific studios will still use custom tech. Assembly has obvious dev strain that helped with c/++ adoption, while Rust isn't trying to claim it will relieve such strain in C/++, outside of bugs and safety. But I've seen enough game code bases to know thats a very distant, low priority in the modern gaming scene.

For those that do care: Rust for those studios won't be adopted as abruptly "we're using Bevy now!". Studios will probably start slowly tooling parts of Rust in more critical parts of the engine, or using frameworks made over the coming years. Most engineers not dedicated to that work may ever even know there's Rust under the hood.

-----

I guess my main reservation comes from me looking from a different lens. It won't be Naughty Dog nor IDTech that will make the "Quake" of Rust, it'll definitely a small, lean team closer to that of Croteam, or at least a yet unknown studio with that kind of discipline for optimization built into their culture. And with the current landscape it's not going to be trying to fight with AAA games to achieve that milestone. But it'll build it's own community around it and overall rise all ships from that. How high it goes from there, I can't say.

----

P.s. I do appreciate the history lesson. Also reminds me how I'm a bit sad that Microsoft killed so much of the potential C# scene last decade. C# always felt like a good middle ground between the nwas that was Java for Game Development while still staying in a safer space for those who don't need blazing fast C++ support. At least they still supported C# itself to a point where we almost have all the tools needed to work a basically unmanaged environment when needed.

> I moved from a proportional-representation country to a FPTP one (Canada) and it's so much better to have a specific individual who is my MP.

You're mixing things up. FPTP isn't what gives you "a dude with a newsletter, an email address, and an office" and prop-representation doesn't prohibit having one either.
There's another reason - I suspect most blind people can see "well enough" to distinguish if they really need to. And they rarely do, because they likely pay for most everything with credit or phone these days.

Then all you have to do is make sure you only have one size of bill in your wallet and you've solved most of it.
That timescale… got me thinking.

In my case it was closer to:

0-25: dicking around, with some incidental learning

25-35: learning how one gets screwed in business deals (by getting screwed in business deals)

35-40: dicking around pretending to work and thinking this is called "startups"

40-50: actually doing stuff, working on meaningful things that people pay for and making a good living off that

I am looking forward to the future :-)

Oh yeah, that's another good proxy. But the one you brought up, polo, is also a good one, because I remember about a statistics example, hopefully not made up - where a correlation was found between keeping horses and good health, and horses just turned out to be a proxy for wealth.

> Perhaps your life failed to launch, and moving to a new country could genuinely help you restart from a difficult situation.

I caution against changing countries to fix your unhappiness with life in general (unless you really are from a disaster area). If your general approach to life leads to grief, you will just be taking it with you to a new location. I've seen it often enough.

Some of the angriest expats I knew in Japan were Japanese Americans. They had felt rejected by American society, so went to the "old country" in search of belonging. The native Japanese just regarded them as Americans, so they ended up feeling doubly rejected.

This is an interesting thought experiment. If the buyer acts as though they did not receive the phone, then on what basis can they complain if you look up metadata of an IMEI that they contend they never took possession of?

But when the lookup reveals that they did activate the device, now maybe you've inappropriately accessed someone else's PII and you did believe beforehand that the results would show that it was no longer registered to you.
> My work is motivated by conversations with real PBT users, accentuating the benefits that they get from PBT and reducing the drawbacks.

ISTM that the benefits and drawbacks are just two sides of the same coin. The benefit is reduced testing effort. The drawback is that savings comes from sacrificing knowledge of exactly what has been tested.

> I also observed that PBT users are not always good at evaluating whether their testing was effective.

Ah, there's the rub. It seems that the benefit of making the tested property explicit is partially offset by not really knowing how much of the search space was explored automatically.

This ad is also nothing what you describe - the user was already a Meta AI user. From the title: "Used Meta AI, now Instagram is using my face on ads targeted at me". So what happened is that Meta AI did a few extra easy image manipulations, and showed it to its user, on the same platform nonetheless, not even on Facebook or something.
I've had several coworkers take 1.5-2 months off at once, usually scheduled very deliberately to coincide with the completion of some major work effort (+ some margin), when work would normally be slow as the next effort is barely ramping up. Of course, part of doing this means effectively not taking leave for a year so you have enough to roll over or using smaller amounts of leave for several years to accrue enough rollover leave.
I didn't find it enjoyable or soothing... I played it for about 30 seconds, got the point, chuckled because it was a mildly clever poke at the stupid engagement tactics used to addict people to otherwise boring and pointless actions - sort of a demo of how we're all dumber than lab mice, who at least get food for pressing a button - and then came back here to see that some people actually kept playing it to some sort of end. Which is crazy.

Now we're getting into the real meat of the questions. I love Kraft Dinner, in a somewhat ironic way. The best way to eat it is to add hot dog slices while cooking the pasta, then top it with ketchup. You can also have it with hot dogs and beans on the side (as my dad would call it, "beans and wieners and Kraft Dinner") It sounds disgusting, but its comfort food. Not sure if I would like it if I hadn't grown up eating it.

It might be an English Canadian thing. My partner is French Canadian and thinks its disgusting.
As a Canadian I haven't heard about the trucker protest since they happened. It was bizarre seeing it come up as the top discussion point in this thread and seems like a big mismatch between American and Canadian perception of what's going on.

If their livelihood comes from the customers at the farmer's market, they need to keep their stall at the market.

Watching GP and parent discuss oracles.. and missing an actual oracle is so HN.. we use imperfect LLM oracles as sounding boards while we theorize about perfect ones.

Oh, the age we live in - of this new math.

LLMs are math that isn't exact, except when it is more exact, and not always when you need it to be. LLM math can't be too accurate or warm or the math doesn't work as well. Like an O(1) operation that randomly decides to run in O(n!).

Humans, technically are just higher maintenance Turing Machines who incrementally write less buggy code.

LLMs get trained on our obi wan buggy odysseys to help them spit out mindbending new ways of regex-ing something and leap to solutions, and chase shiny new things, however it originated.

This shows us we must not only communicate with LLM oracles and perfect Oracles using natural language programming, but to also use the force, just maybe don't trust it to parse HTML. Maybe it knows why it's so hard with to not be able to "ace" any SWE interview to land a high paying job and keep it for more than 12 months.

You could also see it as economic value is commonly extremely divorced from any useful human measure of value. Enough money to feed the world is "made" and "lost" though market oscillations that aren't really based in any practical reality. Like Tesla being worth more than the rest of the next 35 car companies, say. Or just one of the several apps that calls a cab being worth the GDP of Kenya. Or the value of Bitcoin.

The fiction is that the market is an infinitely rational representation of value, denominated in the same units humans buy food and shelter with, and generally correlated with their ability to do so. But it seems "the economy" has less and less to do with life on the ground.
Was going to say the same thing. Wolfram Alpha has been doing MathNotes for 16 years now. I seriously doubt AppInt will ever come close to the depth that Wolfram has.
Tiny Glade is not a game—it is a toy.

The distinction here is crucial—by having no combat, management aspects, or any sort of objective or failure state whatsoever, there is nothing to balance or iterate on design-wise.

It looks very nice, and I'm sure it took quite a bit of effort to make it look as good as it does. But taking an existing product's design (Townscaper) and adding more features and prettier graphics is not indicative of Rust being useful for game development, because game development entails a lot of design-wise balancing and iteration.
I don't concur that the experience would be degraded for either side.

The pool is going to be much smaller and faster to wade through for both sides. And, once you wade through it, you actually have a match that is much more likely for both sides.

Look, this is the exact same problem as online dating and has all the same failure modes. You break the failure modes in exactly the same ways.

People have forgotten that in person was the way we used to do it. We had job fairs, companies would come to colleges in person, etc. It did work. It was just expensive from the point of view of the company.

Companies gave in person up because online was cheaper. Well, it isn't cheaper anymore now that both employers and employees have pissed in the online well. Whoops.
During my 20 minutes I noticed stocks and crypto seem to always fluctuate within a given range. So if you buy in the low end of the range you're guaranteed to see an opportunity to sell at the higher end of the range.

Crypto is just stocks with a wider range and more volatility.

This is one of those logic puzzles, about how many bills you can end up with in your wallet (you dump the coins in a dish at home each night, of course).

Because if you start with $1000 in fifties, say, the first time you buy something (not using hundreds because many places don't like them), you'll get smaller bills back in change, but the next thing you buy you can probably use some of the smaller bills, so you'll never end up with 50 ones.

I like to keep a balance of $5-10 in ones, and the rest in twenties, with $5/10 sometimes appearing.
Or some of us have opinions that are complex enough to both despise Meta and think that this post is poorly framed.

> Far fewer people became content to live out a peaceful, upper middle class life.

Ironically, this is was what I chased, and what I found. I never wanted to have a destructive amount of money, just enough to have a house and raise a family.

A lot of people in this industry just wanted to make money very quickly to retire early though. There is something unhealthy that comes with it, I think.

> Can we ever get back on track?

I am very pessimistic about it. Not without heavy government regulation, and it is a can of worms of its own.

We are never going back to the environment we had around the 90s and early 2000s. There was a naivety in the air back then, some healthy gleeful contrarianism. After the dot com bust, it was unclear for a while how many things could even be monetized. There was a pervasive desire to build things for the sake of it.

What we have now kinda sucks, and it is probably only gonna get worse.
I think any Canadian that identifies as “far left” would find your post hysterical. They don’t even have a party to vote for anymore - best they can do is a begrudging vote for the NDP. This country has been on a rightward shift for decades. e.g. look at the hard push towards privatization of government services in Ontario.

How is that meaningless? It seems that web users of the site at least find it acceptable and aren't complaining enough to the site builders that they feel the need to change the website.

I’m not sure. If the word “podcast” wasn’t used then it might be tricky, but an LLM might figure it out from context.

It also depends on the context of the action. If you’re sitting in front of your computer, yeah, no big deal. Type “podcast” in the search field of the messages app and click the thing it finds. But if you’re busy cooking dinner or cleaning out the cat box, it’s a pain to get your phone out and poke around. The main draw of voice assistants (at least to me) is that they let you do things quickly when you don’t already have a device in your hands.
That's true of course, but the word carries a certain status that is absent in this case. Perhaps I'm just old, but I still think of people who've worked their butts off, not human mildew.

What I'm not sure about is whether the problems that author mentioned were intrinsic to the software systems, or they were fixable. Many of the problems were caused by incompetent product managers, per the author's speculation. I was wondering if such incompetence (or malice for the sake of argument) is rooted in human nature and therefore can't be fixed, or companies can still iteratively remove such pains. If such problems are part of the human nature, then wouldn't they manifest themselves in other systems even if we don't use software?

> I think you're putting far too much trust into "I haven't seen" and not considering the fact that there is more to see.

No, I was being cheeky. The fact that recursion can always be transformed into iteration has been proven. There is no such thing as a “procedure that can’t run without recursion”, which I assumed you already knew, and you might want to keep in mind if you want to keep defending recursion.

So do you have any real-world examples where recursion is preferred? This sub-thread started because you were taking umbrage with my claim that recursion is for education and not often used in production code. So far your examples are proving my point, 100% of your examples are classroom problems and not things people need in practice. List reversing might be the most common, and it’s very rare for someone to need to implement it (languages and libraries usually provide it), and far rarer still to need to implement it recursively in practice. Factorial of large numbers and Ackermann function are purely academic exercises.
