There are 40 setup cards with 4 possible rotations that specify agent placements, so it's theoretically possible to do some kind of memorization.

Personally I'd find that kind of play style very unfun, and would rather switch to fully randomized boards if I played enough that it became a problem.

I think that this ideology is one of reasons why men get less emotional support and why many cant provide it. They cant provided because they don't want to, because they look down on people who want or need it. And consequently they cant really talk openly with other men, because they will look down at them.

Yes adults need it. Humans are animals like that.
IME, Trump support on HN probably follows the general population: 50/50 among folks who care to vote, who knows among folks who have far less to lose.

My feeling is that people here generally assume that the bad things will always happen to other folks, so that these articles appear as divisive and irrelevant.

It's one of the great Gell-Mann amneisia-style ironies that folks here are generally very understanding of why online privacy doesn't work when folks adopt "privacy doesn't matter if you have nothing to hide"-

these same folks immediately fail to understand that if the government can oppress trans/queer/bipoc/native/women/etc folks or put down labor, then the same group will exert its power over them. It doesn't help that these same folks probably don't even see state oppression as state oppression, as it just shows up as "what normal, Real humans do".

I suppose position might not be incorrect for folks who are sufficiently privileged and very bought into the idea that they live at the historically necessary end of history.

After all, their ancestors committed pretty horrible crimes for which they have never felt one bit of blow back. So they might simply be right that the boot will always be on other folks faces, forever.

I doubt it (I don't think that the boot on their faces is a thing that they can see at such close proxemity), but they also think I'm an idiot and I'm not in an impartial place where I could judge which of us is right.
There were very good arguments that Covid (probably) leaked from a lab as early as April 2020 at the latest (and in January if you were a virologist included in top-level NIAID emails). HN largely went along with the shunning of debate, which helped give everyone the impression there was "zero evidence" of a lab leak compared to solid evidence of zoonotic origin, which was simply never true.

Not one person in this world should have to motivate you to do the thing you love. This is a reckoning moment for a lot of people, artists included. Dig deep. Because the truth is that a lot of people do things, not for the love of and enjoyment of doing the thing in and of itself, but because of the satisfaction they get when they impress other people.

"You're so talented"
"I love your art"
"I wish I could do that"

And now there is that fear that the validation will go away. And what are you left with?

You and the thing you didnt really love.

Dig deep.
They really are mutually exclusive theories.

The current evidence points to at least two different spillover events (of slightly different variants) at the market, followed by spread of the virus in the communities surrounding the market, eventually radiating out to the rest of Wuhan. There is solid evidence now for each of those statements.

If you try to reconcile that with the lab leak theory, you end up with an ever more implausible theory: two different scientists got infected in the lab with different variants (of a virus we have good evidence never existed at the lab in the first place), then both of them went to the market (where the same types of wild animals that caused the original SARS outbreak in 2002 just happened to be sold) and infected people, but somehow they didn't infect anyone else at the lab. It's just one implausibility stacked on top of the next, all with the goal of avoiding what the data is obviously saying: the outbreak began at the market.
I get you. There was actually a lot more monetary value than even you might presume. Many of the books were worth 30K+ at auction. But many others weren’t and they were all still a pain to cope with, plus all the other smaller collections we had to deal with. In any case, the broader point is that valuing a collection over people is always a bad idea.
The thing is that unlike political science, virology is an actual science. Scientists have found little evidence of coronavirus at the labs and there is record of them failing even to culture the virus which would be required for any research including gain of function research. In dramatic contrast samples from the wet market were easily cultured into multiple related strains which strongly points to the wet market as the source.
Some states (CA, NY, IL, WA, OR come to mind) and many municipalities have additional explicit employment discrimination laws that cover much of these. Obviously it’s not at a federal level and will vary (much like the nonsense that shifting Roe v Wade unraveled). Not sure how that will play out exactly (I’m no legal expert).

The fact of the matter is, most employers aren’t naive and have always found legal proxy rationales to discriminate and prevent hiring or fire someone. If an employer doesn’t want to hire you or wants to fire you, they’ll find a way. That doesn’t mean these sorts of laws are entirely useless. Some employers are pretty stupid and through emotion vent out the real intentions in a recorded fashion, so these sorts of protections help there.

They also curb some of the language businesses choose to use, making them at least appear a little more professional, for example in this thread, by not calling their white workers “retarded” (not aware of this happening but it seems reasonable). They may think it, but they need to say “our current staff are inefficient” or something else of that nature. I like not being insulted based on my race, age, sex, orientation, etc. it sets some guidelines, even if you might detest me for those reasons I at least don’t have to listen to it daily. Now legally in many cases some might have to.
If I ask "what happened?" whatever you answer will be disagreed with by about half the observers of the question.

From what I've read, Apple rounded corners are using G^2 or G^3 geometric continuity to generate smoother curves.

It's hard to tell which smoothing function this library uses since it looks like it's based on PNG masking.
Especially weird since CSS actually has the clip-path property which allows polygons as masks. I think converting a curve to a polygon is still better than having a literal raster image as a mask.

You make it sound so much more mysterious than it is. The candidate rejected polite social cues to not go down the path he did. He came up with an oddball, brittle, and undebuggable solution. They said what they wanted for this fairly simple problem. It's not a guess at some secret, it's a simple observation that the candidate is not right for the job.

> I do believe that's all one really needs to know about this shift in their thinking. In other words: it's really far from certain.

There's never going to be any conclusive evidence of the source of covid, and anyone claiming they have certainty (who wasn't a witness to a lab leak) is simply lying to you. What they're doing is going along with everyone else worth listening to, who find the coincidence that we were funding banned research on coronaviruses in a lab a few feet away from the origin of the outbreak unlikely. They also find tales of non-lab origin both speculative and vague, while stories of lab origin are only speculative.

It's so strange to demand so much more proof of lab origin than one does of non-lab origin. The obvious reasons for that demand are that millions died, and that everybody involved with that lab can easily be named. Also weird that this observation is covid-skeptic coded, when in reality the worse you think covid is, the greater the crime that a lab leak entails.
I think the article correctly points out the problem with the story of the company. At least to investors, their effort looks too unfocused by trying to be everything at once. Is it a software company or biotech company? I guess you’ll have to open the box to find out.

I get where you're coming from as I have a lot of words to say to those urbanist ideologues and none of them are pleasant.

Main reason why I think subway is superior to anything, including trains riding on the surface, is that it doesn't get in the way of anything.

My current city is subject to a double whammy of a train and river system. The result is of course gridlock, as bridges have limited capacity and not all train crossings could be made into viaducts. Having a single subway line would greatly improve things, but alas - the city is in debt due to having built a football stadium which went way over budget.

That being said to me American cities stretch the definition of cities. If there's no functional difference between a district within city limits and a suburb, why bother with having a distinction? I mean, we have districts of detached houses in my corner of the world, but they're former villages absorbed by cities and are gradually being densified.

What the claimed motivation is does not matter; the order is gone in it's entirity now.

Frankly, it's just conservatives using "affirmative action" as a buzzword, because it really doesn't describe affirmative action as it's colloquially understood. "affirmative action" is followed by an immediate and explicit requirement of equal treatment.

> "(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the contracting officer setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

Genuinely, this is just a lot of words to say "don't do a racism". The examples are on the level of "consider doing recruitment advertising outside of places visited primarily by white dudes"

Right, but in 2020 and 2021, the US was doing everything it could to discredit those who were trying to possibly discredit China. And the WHO was doing whatever China wanted. No scrutiny was to be tolerated. That in and of itself is very fishy.

>State media has been reporting intensively on coronavirus discovered on packaging of frozen food imports, not considered a significant vector of infection elsewhere, and research into possible cases of the disease found outside China’s borders before December 2019.

The official People’s Daily newspaper claimed in a Facebook post last week that “all available evidence suggests that the coronavirus did not start in central China’s Wuhan”.

“Wuhan was where the coronavirus was first detected but it was not where it originated,” it quoted Zeng Guang, formerly a chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.[0]

The problem here is that we keep acting like the way we should solve this is by having people making toy projects or general purpose tools cower in fear of their own government and stop trying to make anything, instead of establishing a government that can distinguish between violent drug cartels and child abusers vs. innocent behavior or minor offenses and then not inflict senseless damage on the latter.

It was started under Biden, but the decision to publicize it is the new director's decision.

Worth noting is that this is a low-confidence report. I'm not accusing the director of divulging a low-confidence report under the belief that the public will accept it as categorically true because they have no sense of how CIA confidence levels work, but they're willing to believe the director wouldn't publicize it if it wasn't true.

... you should have low confidence in the truth of my last statement.
DeepSeek was built on the foundations of public research, a major part of which is the Llama family of models. Prior to Llama open weights LLMs were considerably less performant; without Llama we might not have gotten Mistral, Qwen, or DeepSeek. This isn't meant to diminish DeepSeek's contributions, however: they've been doing great work on mixture of experts models and really pushing the community forward on that front. And, obviously, they've achieved incredible performance.

Llama models are also still best in class for specific tasks that require local data processing. They also maintain positions in the top 25 of the lmarena leaderboard (for what that's worth these days with suspected gaming of the platform), which places them in competition with some of the best models in the world.

But, going back to my first point, Llama set the stage for almost all open weights models after. They spent millions on training runs whose artifacts will never see the light of day, testing theories that are too expensive for smaller players to contemplate exploring.

Pegging Llama as mediocre, or a waste of money (as implied elsewhere), feels incredibly myopic.
They mean the app takes data from one place, does a trivial computation, and pushed it at another place. So pushing data around is all the application does.

And they don't know both such places are actually faster than the trivial computation because their code runs way slower than the ones at the origin and destination.

This is about all the things around being a programmer at work.

2. The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder

This is a well regarded book about an engineering team building a Data General computer in the late 70s. So the lessons are indirect, but it's a pleasant and technical read. It reads almost like a novel.

Separately, I think it's worth reading at least a couple things that are more cynical. It's helpful for balance. On that front I'd say...

1. The Gervais Principle by Venkatesh Rao

This is a lengthy blog series (or ebook). It uses a metaphor about The Office, but it's still plenty relatable if you didn't watch that show. The abstraction this lays over modern knowledge work is quite interesting. It's a weird combination of demoralizing and liberating.

2. The Peter Principle by Peter and Hull

I remember reading this book and having trouble understanding if it was real or some form of satire. If I read it again now, many years later, I'd probably understand it better.
@alok-g
I'll be happy to explain - You don't understand it correctly.
The flipjump assembly syntax does allow relating to an address with offsets/more advanced stuff, but that doesn't add anything to.the language. It' just adds comfort to the programmer - it's basically like adding labels to an assembly language - it's possible to write assembly without them, just much less convenient.

The power of flipjump results in self modifying code.
If I jump to a address that have the [flip 0, jump 0x1000], then I'll get to 0x1000 afterwards, right? But if I flip some specific bit in this instruction before jumping to it, it will become [flip 0, jump 0x1080]. You can call this instruction "memory bit", and the part of jumping to it and resulting in one of two possible addresses 0x1000/0x1040 based on a specific bit in it - "read the memory bit". The action is reading as you get to different place based on the value stored in this instruction. This "read" can also be seen as an "if".
How you write then? For example writing "1" whould be doing a "read", and in the "read 0" case - do a flip to this address, and in the "read 1" case don't flip this memory address bit.
You're right. I was bucketing the pricing/payout issues into the loan terms but they equally apply if you don't take out the loan.

Obviously there are many better ways to structure this if a sophisticated counterparty actually wanted a good investment opportunity for the community. Sadly that's not in anyone's interest.
Which are reportedly over %90 lower.
Yes, it is no different, and it's a problem. Football players and noodles are especially good examples. These are people who literally destroy their bodies on a promise that is oversold. So maybe the entire system should be done away with. If we can't have professional sports players and professional models and YouTube content creators without exploitation, then maybe we shouldn't have them at all. I dodn't see it as much different from not legalizing hard drugs like heroin. If the drug is too addictive to allow for responsible use, then we shouldn't have it at all.

If you follow some of the creators that got big in YouTube and are also now big in Tik Tok, you'll see that it's actually worse in Tik Tok. Unlike YouTube that distributed a percentage of revenue, Tik Tok has a flat "creators' fund" that gets doled out proportionally. So where a boy account on YouTube draws more revenue to YouTube, that makes the pie bigger, so pre-existing accounts aren't losing out just because someone else is doing better (e.g. they serve different demos). On Tik Tok, each account is not just in competition for existing eyeballs, they're in competition with all other accounts regardless of overlap of audience.
