At what point should we believe in climate change?

When the first islands disappear under the raising sea levels?

When the first cities become uninhabitable because of rising temperatures?

When the first wars begin over of resources that aren't there anymore?

Or when the there are no container ships to bring cheap products from China, or long distance air travel becomes prohibitively expensive, or climate refugees start knocking at our doors? I.e. when it is us who are personally affected?

Most of humankind will select option four, we shouldn't wonder.

I’m surprised nobody has yet (as of this writing) pointed out that Moore’s Law never claimed anything about single threaded execution or clock rates. Moore’s Law is that the number of transistors doubles every two years, and that trend has continued since 2012.

It looks like maybe the slope changed slightly starting around 2006, but it’s funny because this comment ends complaining that Moore’s Law is too good after claiming it’s dead. Yes, software needs to deal with the transistor count. Yes, parallel architectures fit Moore’s law. The need to go to more parallel and more parallel because of Moore’s Law was predicted, even before 2006. It was a talking point in my undergrad classes in the 90s.

> How can the ball just randomly start rolling in a random direction?

Because that's legal according to the laws of motion. The intuitive answer is that it's the time reversed situation to a ball being carefully rolled UP the dome so that it stops and comes to rest on the apex. The shape function of the dome was carefully constructed so that this process takes finite time. So if it's legal in one direction it must be legal in the other.

Obviously this is a statement about math and not physics (since the underlying physical theory here is, after all, wrong!) What we thought were a bunch of well-constructed rules for classical dynamics turn out to have some holes.
> acknowledge the concerns and political views of the opposing side if it means a chance of saving planet earth

How in the world will acknowledging their concerns save the planet? Pretending like they have not had their concerns acknowledged and listened to and addressed is also a bit condescending.

I'm not defeatist, but you are definitely not understanding the situation.

The common ground starts with truth, the common ground starts with Republicans being willing to acknowledge me as a human with beliefs too. There's a deep deep deep sickness in the information sphere of the Republican party that needs to be addressed.

The Democratic party has sever information problems on its fringe. But the Republican information problem is coming from the top, from the very leaders that run everything.
Note this is what categories are for. The category sets the rules. There are glitchless categories (which define glitching, see Ocarina of Time which has restricted & unrestricted glitchless categories since the game is so broken: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2ebZ94KGlVw or how glitched categories include no-SRM & no-ACE)
This is... terrible news. This is primarily how I get books from the library. I found that if you keep the Kindle on Airplane mode and download + transfer them, they never expire.

Nothing malicious. I just can't read books arbitrarily in a 21 day period.
It was my opinion, as stated. Your response was not part of the conversation but instead stream of thought with no relation to my response to you. Given this needed to be explained I'm not too surprised you were blocked. Enjoy!
I had a PSP and also loved it, but I don’t feel like it was that mind blowing.

Perhaps you came to the PSP late in its cycle.

I happened to be in Tokyo when the PSP was released. I was on a subway and saw a girl playing Lumines and it completely blew my mind.

As soon as I was done with my daytime obligations, I went straight to Yodobashi Camera and bought one. When I got back to the U.S., showing it to people always blew their minds, also.

Until then, the notion of "handheld gaming" was mostly the early GameBoy series, and maybe Lynx. The PSP was a whole different category.

I used a long timeframe to illustrate that prices always change eventually.

Whether they change in 6 months or 24 months or 60 months is just a business decision of whether to trend towards continuous small increases or rare but larger jumps. The fundamental economic pressures that lead to higher prices in the long run are no different.
What do you mean by allowed?

TAS runs aren't put on leaderboards against RTA runs
Norton’s Dome plays fast and loose with the math. It could be a halfway decent way of modeling a ball that randomly started moving, but that’s not actually how anything works.

For example:
https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/39632/nortons-do...
The infrastructure is being built right now. It's there and growing.

Flooding our system with fossil fuels is not going to lower prices, we are already an energy exporter.

China built them both at the same time, and so should we. Enough delaying with BS excuses, we need to get out of the way of building the infrastructure by saying "there's not enough infrastructure".

> Rust is a subset of C++ with extra static checks

This is like saying that Julia is a subset of Python with JIT compilation. Rust and C++ have some conceptual similarities, but they are entirely different languages.
The point is that this is not discussing a physically realizable situation, but an idealized one. The engineering and manufacturing precision that would be required to actually achieve this setup are infinite and unattainable. In the idealized setup there is no air, no surface imperfections, no deviations from central positioning, etc.. And yet despite this idealized perfection, a case can still be made that under this construction the ball might spontaneously move in an undetermined direction. The discussion of whether that case “holds water” and what that means if so is an abstract philosophy discussion rather than one with any obvious practical implications.
Are you serious? There's nothing bitter or derogatory about acknowledging that women tend to not express themselves in a straightforward manner (men are not perfect at that but tend to be much more 'direct'). I can only think you're projecting something that does not at all reflect my view on women (e.g. I do think they're superior at many things, like balancing pros-and-cons in a discussion).
> Point 2 is neither here nor there. If all those people were playing tennis instead, the courts would be equally inaccessible.

The problem is that the courts were built only for tennis, often many decades ago. Now pickleball has adopted the same courts rather than using different courts of its own, so there are two sports competing for the same existing volume of courts. And since the tennis courts already exist, there's a lot less incentive and motivation for communities to spend money and other resources, such as land, building brand new courts to handle the new pickleball players.

Imagine if tennis and basketball used the same courts; that would be a major problem.

I think of TAS as a code competition, almost like demoscene, whereas tool-free speedrunning is more e-athletics.
CNI is optional, you can have workloads bind ports on the host rather than use an overlay network (though CNI plugins and kube-proxy are extremely simple and reliable in my experience, they use VXLAN and iptables which are built into the kernel and that you already use in any organization who might run a cluster, or the basic building blocks of your cloud provider).

CSI is optional, you can just not use persistent storage (use the S3 API or whatever) or declare persistentvolumes that are bound to a single or group of machines (shared NFS mount or whatever).

I don't know how GP thinks you could run without the other bits though. You do need kubelet and a container runtime.
> ”Good luck writing highly interactive apps backend-only! (Like Figma or Google Docs). Even with frameworks like Phoenix and runtimes like WebAssembly, you still need a lot of Javascript to get there.”

You really don’t need to write JS directly to make a UI like Google Docs with Phoenix LiveView. You can write the whole thing in Elixir. Thanks LiveView.JS, there hasn’t been a need to write custom JS or hooks to avoid a round trip to the server for UI-only interactions for quite a while, either.
I'm a heavy use of this feature so I'm pissed. Can anyone recommend alternatives? I need to be able to load any books I buy into Calibre so I can convert to whatever format I need.
> Trump's superpower seems to be manipulating the media.

very true; not only through distractions, but by a continual bombardment of outlier or outlandish comments (used to be Tweets back in his first term) that it sucks all the oxygen out of the room as the media can hardly keep up -- therefore every story, every front page, is always Trump

like the saying goes for show biz, Trump knows there is no such thing as bad publicity ; though what works for him doesn't work for other politicians because he has a cult-like base and they don't

Sport - soccer, rugby, cricket for those that suffer from insomnia and many great golf courses.
> it also facilitates legibility, especially at a slight distance, as well as distortion (squishing, stretching) if necessary

Except for the terrible, terrible ‘0’, which looks more or less identical to the ‘O’. IIRC sometimes similar fonts had a strike-through 0 for legibility; I think the BBC Micro keyboard did, for instance.
I use it for “introductory” programming, where it writes some script in an env I’m not familiar with and then I read the docs and clean all the bs it hallucinated into it. Often (but very not always) takes less time than learning-curveing it yourself.

I also get sysadm and networking ideas from LLMs. Although here their imagination has no limits and you have to fact-check everything. They imagine cli/config options, whole daemons and docsites, everything.

To sum up: for exploration and one-shot doing by example.
The copyright notice mismatch is suspicious and the missing items is a dead giveaway away and should have made it ineligible alone.
PaddleOCR layout works, and so do some open source large language vision models
It's not a particularly complex or surprising "ethics" though: the point of competing between speed-runners is an honest comparison of human skills, so all exploits require full disclosure to ensure a fair comparison and the ability to agree on which skills are actually being compared. This is why tool-assisted speedruns are separated from human speed runs, for example.
Does something to do with gimbal lock fall into this category as well?
I am guilty of this, to a degree. I tried every local model around the time of the original llama 3 release, and for a while after that. Mostly the models around 70b. They always felt like toys compared to the SOTA hosted foundation models.

After that, I stopped trying them all out, because API access is so inexpensive, why wouldn't I use the good ones?

More recently, I tried a few local models, and they are more impressive than they used to be... but still far behind their bigger brothers. They are good enough for some small tasks, but also less reliable in their output, so I'm back to API access for pennies.
They seem to be just some average junior engineers but with huge hubris. I have worked with junior engineers better than them.
Please tell me how 18F is openly partisan. Also explain how most of Trump's hires are NOT openly partisan?

How?

I've only seen "magical wand" arguments.

Norton's Dome is nonsense to me.
Do you think that LLMs are not a benefit? Smartphones? Electric cars?
No, I think you are misunderstanding. There really isn't an "ethics" of what exploits are allowed or disallowed.

Speed running communities generally don't care what exploits you use, as long as you are up-front and honest about it. The idea is to have apples-to-apples comparisons. You did a 100% run with no exploits? Cool, let's compare that to other people who also ran that category. Your friend did an any% run with save file manipulation? Also cool, let's compare that to others in the category.

If you modified your save file mid run, but tell everyone else that your run should be compared against other runs that did not modify save files, that's clearly dishonest. The problem isn't the part about what exploit was used; it's the part where he lied to the community about which category it should be classified.

Also, the core aspect of speed running is speed: the amount of time it takes you to complete the game. If you are modifying save files outside the game after you start a run, you need to record that time.
I know that. I read the paper published in Joule, stating that Bitcoin was responsible for 0.2% of global carbon emissions via 0.4% of global energy usage. That, to me, does not sound significant enough to claim it has a measurable impact on warming, as worldwide electricity usage surely increases by more than 0.4% each year.

With that said, I agree that cryptocurrencies are largely unnecessary and their usage should be regulated, together with other more effective measures.
GPS still works when power fails.

The game mechanics require 2 colors that each contain 2 suits. Playing cards fits this requirement, are widely available, and importantly everyone knows what the suits/colors are. The same isn't true if you used random companies or game characters.
I think the developers who care about knowing how their code works tend to not want hyperscale setups anyway.

If they understood their system, odds are they’d realize that horizontal scaling with few, larger services is plenty scalable.

At those large orgs, the individual developer doesn’t matter at all and the EMs will opt for faster release cycles and rely on internal platform teams to manage k8s and things like it.
You can run single-node k3s on a VM with 512MB of RAM and deploy your app with a hundred lines of JSON, and it inherits a ton of useful features that are managed in one place and can grow with your app if/as needed. These discussions always go in circles between Haters and Advocates:

* H: "kubernetes [at planetary scale] is too complex"

* A: "you can run it on a toaster and it's simpler to reason about than systemd + pile of bash scripts"

* H: "what's the point of single node kubernetes? I'll just SSH in and paste my bash script and call it a day"

* A: "but how do you scale/maintain that?"

* H: "who needs that scale?"
Philosophers have been discussing this for a while now, you and OP may be interested in their arguments.

They are still going out of their way to not say Vite or similar SPA tooling is a completely viable path for a lot of projects. SEO is not critical for all projects like they make you think it is. I’m pretty disappointed by the direction they took in this post.

I pasted those examples from an earlier, less nuanced discussion; the last example was tongue-in-cheek and I probably shouldn't have pasted it here.

Still: "AI don't know what they don't know" is not universally true and shouldn't be taken at face value. They clearly are able to tell when they're missing knowledge to answer a question. That is distinct from giving the wrong answer because the wrong tokens were sampled for whatever reason.
Maybe because the products suck and there are very few business models for software? I'm gonna focus on the software product segment, and my evaluation might be flawed, but I think that software is an inherent race to the bottom for three important reasons:

1) Dependence on proprietary software is at best a short-term support boon, and in the majority of cases a crippling liability when the vendor changes support terms or goes under (personal experience talking).

2) Open source software is a slow but inevitable creep towards feature-matching and quality that has borne ample fruit already.

3) As ephemeral information with near-zero material cost other than labor, software finds most low-hanging fruit quickly, while higher-hanging fruit attract the formation of non-profit foundations to continue development; there just aren't many more interesting software products to offer.

Working business models in the tech industry seem to revolve around the provisioning of hardware because buying software just isn't an appealing proposition to customers in most cases.

Sure, LLMs are interesting software, but they're a perfect demonstration: Open source LLMs already exist and gather huge momentum when released; the field is still so new that novel and efficient solutions are not the exclusive realm of proprietary research; and because of these factors, business models can't revolve around interesting model capabilities so much as provisioning the hardware they run on.
I am weary of corporations still trying to own everything they already sold me. Additionally sick of them trying to control speech and thought based on whatever ludicrous corporate nanny culture is in vogue.

Actually I think it’s an upside even then. It’s a lot easier for someone who’s out of shape to start trying pickleball compared to a lot of sports since you don’t need to run as long. Once someone starts to get in shape, they can still get plenty of exercise playing pickleball (I’ve even seen several people at my local court using weighted vests to make the game more of a workout).
