Good point... oversupply lightens the load on the generator meaning not as much angular momentum is converted to magnetic flux then to an electric field. Unopposed the torque is able to increase the rotor's speed which directly determines grid frequency.

My grid tie solar system does exactly what you say. It monitors the frequency of grid power and matches it dynamically. There are defined parameters for how out of spec it can get and for how long. I don't recall the exact numbers but imagine 0.2Hz for 100ms, 0.5Hz for 1ms, 1Hz for 500ns. Same thing for voltage though that allows a much wider range.

In CA all grid tie solar also requires communication with the utility (through the manufacturer) with a backup connection source (Internet and LTE in my case). This is so if the grid is nearing capacity or going unstable the utility can command the inverters to allow a wider band of voltage and frequency. The last thing the grid needs in an unstable scenario is everyone's solar panels tripping off at the same time.

Technically the utility can also command the panels to stop production if there is an excess supply but they are limited in how long and how often they can do that.

Fun fact: The interconnect operators used to keep track of the average frequency over time and would run the grid slightly fast or slow to ensure the grid averaged 60Hz over time. This allowed clocks and such to maintain time by relying on the grid. That is no longer the case though. I think they still roughly aim for a 60Hz average but if they're behind by 0.01Hz over the past week they no longer run the grid at 60.05Hz for a while to "catch up".

Fun fact number 2 I just learned recently: Southern California used to be on 50Hz! That's right, the USA had split cycle just like Japan. Most of the country on 60Hz, SoCal on 50Hz. Right after WW2 they made the switch apparently. I guess a lot of stuff was dual frequency capable at the time but the utility provided assistance where required.

Fun fact number 3: Ever wonder why we have 110/220 or 115/230 or 120/240? Because every local utility picked their own standard: 110 (from Edison's DC system carried over into AC world), 115, or 120. It was not until relatively recently that we really standardized on 120/240 (+/- 5% which is 114 - 126 but with brief excursions allowed). That's why some old appliances might say 110 or 115 on them.

Fun fact number 4: 120/240 is a backwards compatibility hack. It was too late to change to 240 and 120 is (for physical reasons) better for electric lighting applications (thicker less fragile filament for same light output). How to solve this? Change your MV-LV transformers to 240 but center tap them. Instead of Line-Neutral you provide customers Line 1 - Neutral - Line 2. Connections across L1/L2 give you 240 volts, connections across L1-N or L2-N give you 120 volts! Everyone's happy! There is a NEMA plug standard for low-amp 240V. It has both blades horizontal (looks like the unimpressed smiley face). I wish it were more popular in kitchens for boiling water and such.

Technology is to make humans’ work easier. Nothing has been proven by the current LLM capabilities that it fit that role. Anything it can do, there’s already something that can do 90% of it with way less resources and the rest is not that valuable.
btw this was the moodboard I put together for the artist -- https://www.canva.com/design/DAF1ZIStuTY/j66Hl6xPyMNU6cfRsw2...

imho even if you can't make art, it's good to have inspirations for a coherent vision that hopefully you'll be able to articulate to someone!

What’s the end goal though? Planning to sell a licensed version? I’d be happy to pay for a model where I can own it for life but only get updates for a year.
Definitely no offsprings of billionaires should inherit $100M. This is against any merit discussion.
I can see that. Maybe in ancient societies they found they could accomplish sustainability in less movement. By that I mean.. they have a place where they live and a place where they source food, water, etc. Bringing those together means less travel and more concentration. Over time.. domestication.

Maybe?
Super cool to see this idea working. I had a go at getting an LLM to play Pokémon in 2023, with openai vision. With only 100 expensive api calls a day, I shelved the project after putting together a quick POC and finding that the model struggled to see things or work out where the player was. I guess models are now better, but also looks like people are providing the model with information in addition to the game screen.

Jeff Bezos himself could be considered a mega-corporation.

We're at the point where the personal wealth of oligarchs such as him has begun eclipsing the wealth of all but the very largest corporations. His own personal wealth would rank him somewhere around 60th on the Fortune 500.
Any plans to monetize it?

There are other ways to exploit formal verification. For example, you may be able to formally prove that the unoptimized version of your program has the same behavior as the optimized version, subject to specified constraints. This can assure that there aren't any bugs in the optimization that affect program correctness. You're eliminating a class of bugs. Of course, it's possible that the unoptimized version is incorrect, but at least you can assure that your aggressive optimization approach didn't cause breakage. Such approaches are commonly used for hardware verification.
not sure _how_ relevant it is at the bottom line but you are aware that o3 was trained very likely on those same problems form mathoverflow? cause you know - the underlying llm was trained on pretty much everything available oline - especially high quality sources like ... mathoverflow.
"Maybe woke went too far ..."

From where I sit on the left, the right wing is extremely effective in making people believe the left is a parody of itself.

For instance, the left does have stronger support for LGBTQ issues than the right, but it isn't the primary issue. I'm sure "Build Back Better" investments in infrastructure involved 100x the attention and resources that LGBTQ issues did. But right media pushes stories multiple times a day about how the left is trying to turn your little Johnny into Janie. There are fewer than ten M->F trans athletes in college sports [1], but it is nearly a daily news item. The the casual news viewer (most everybody) their impression watching their news is that the only concern of Democrats is to advance a LGBTQ takeover.

Same thing with CRT. Same thing with Benghazi. Same thing with Hillary's emails. They pick an issue and hammer it, hammer it, hammer it. And it doesn't stay stuck in the right wing mediasphere. It becomes part of the "national conversation" and so mainstream media has to report on it too.

The monocular depth cues are not lost; rather, the main issue with VR and stereoscopic images is the forced depth focus. This creates a mismatch between vergence and accommodation, which can interfere with natural depth perception. There is extensive research on this topic, particularly regarding the vergence-accommodation conflict:

> If you aren't evaluating based on conditions like those, I don't really see the value of coding questions.

The way I think about it, you're really trying to evaluate a candidate on about 10 different metrics all at once. Metrics like programming skill (writing & debugging), communication skills (listening and explaining), capacity to learn, domain knowledge (eg if you're hiring a react dev, do they know HTML & react?), likeability, and so on.

A good interview gives the candidate the chance to show their worth in all of those different areas. But time is limited - so you want some different challenges which will show many capabilities at once.

Asking a candidate to talk through how they'd solve a "leetcode problem" sort of does that - you can see their CS knowledge and their communication skills. But if thats all you ask, you end up overemphasising the candidate's CS knowledge. Most people aren't very good at thinking and talking at the same time. And you don't learn about other stuff. How good are they at debugging? At reading code? Do they have domain knowledge? Can they talk to clients? Are they good at design? Its also quite easy for the interviewer to be distracted by the question of whether or not the candidate solved the problem you gave them. - Which isn't really what anyone is there for.

As part of a larger interview, and especially for systems engineering roles, I think they're still fine questions to ask. But if thats the entire job interview, its a bad interview - because it won't let you evaluate a candidate properly. Especially in product roles where CS knowledge isn't very relevant anyway.

> "Bezos also made clear that alternate views will not appear on the pages."

Sure, it's Bezos' private company, and people are free not to subscribe to WaPo. So it's not restricting free speech. But it's very telling that more oligarchs are trying to control the _flow of information and ideas_ to the masses. A key requirement of fascism.
That’s the best service provider, by Amazon’s criteria.
I think the “wa” prefix means “bad” in Japan
I loved the Zero Day: A Jeff Aiken Novel series by Mark Russinovich (CTO of Azure). It's a proper tech / developer thriller that uses plausible ideas. There are three books in the series I think.
What do you mean by "a video that changes"?

I liked the video-example, it's way better than examples in many projects that use just text, when the tool does something quite complex that better be demonstrated in a video with a narrator explaining what's happening and why.
I don't know many hunter gatherers but you can observe a lot of animals around and they uniformly do not have money and not really currency. They do devote quite a lot of time to their next meal, also quite often mating and fighting, although not always. Not to say it's better or worse but you can do life without currency.
Yes, that's the effect I'm referring to. Maybe my wording was too sloppy.
It might have a better chance that those ocean-based proposals.

There are a lot of countries with navies that could just happen to decide to conduct a live fire training exercise in the general area as your ocean facility and just happen to have an accident that takes you out, with enough plausible deniability that they probably would not get in any serious trouble over it.

There are a much fewer number of countries that could take out a lunar facility and I don't think any could do it in a way that has any plausible deniability.
I have always felt that the elite control the big news organizations. Hearst, Bezos, all of them are the wealthy. They gobble up smaller news organizations and align each with their editorial preference. Bezos is the new Hearst.

What is needed is more local news, and for the populace to prefer local. Bring back the daily town newspaper by email. We spend so much time looking down at our phones across the world that we fail to see the news happening right in front of us.
This is absolutely the way. My interviews are conversations with someone that I want to work closely with, and while leet code might be an interesting lunch conversation it’s not going to be part of any of our day to day work (c/c++/swift/obj-c)

Right. This makes sense. But why Fourier space in particular. Why not, for example, a wavelet transform.

Alexa is also very convenient for kids queueing up music or asking quick animal/etc questions that I couldn't answer (what sound does x make, how many teeth does a y have, etc). In both cases, I'd prefer they do this briefly by voice rather than sit down with a phone or tablet and get distracted on screen by millions of songs or the rest of the internet.

But yes, even just setting timers while washing dishes or hands covered in flour is worth it. My retired parents have a kitchen timer stuck on the side of the fridge and still use Alexa for cooking timers. There is literally no interruption to your flow.

Channels and selects. It's trivial.
Looking at the comments, most people are approaching this as 'grow, like trees'.

We're literally talking moonshot projects here and nowhere does the brief mention specifically trees, or aerobic respiration/processes, there is plenty of room for using Chitin, Spider silk, keratin or a combination of biopolymers to form resilient composite structures.

There's already been videos of people using these as doping agents or additives for bulletproof armor, to middling success.
The synthesis via yeast or e.coli for most of these are partially solved problems, its more texturing them or using bio-mechanical processing to form thread or ply or load bearing panels that seems to be the major hurdle.
Also, being able to reliably source component and materials from near vacuum or whatever asteroid that happens to wander by that makes this a much more difficult problem to even define.
Is there a modern equivalent?
You do the art yourself or did you hire someone? How did that go?
Oh yeah. These posts are the limit of my knowledge. Real-world power plants, switchgear, and grid management is way way more complex! And if you want to talk about "hard real time requirements".... it doesn't get much harder or real time than keeping the grid going :)

Thanks to you, the operators, and the linemen out there keeping it all going. When it works correctly no one notices.
Sad but true. Normal is obscene now.
Good read thanks. To the point of having a open platform, they would probably lose their monopoly. I could then just spin up my own mobile network and provide service like a wifi network with any credentials and do what I want.

I guess there needs to be a big initial effort with lots of maintaining afterwards. If everything goes as expected the AIs could provide that in the future.
Lobbying from Intel probably.
Bezos didn’t get where he is from just the free market. He got here because he was fortunate enough to have parents who could give him a $250k seed round.

How do you get to be a billionaire and still need people to coddle your ego?

Fuck you, I'm disgustingly rich! I don't care about your opinions. I am numerically, objectively killing it. I'm going to paint all of the mailboxes in town teal just because I can and it's my eldest kid's favorite color.

The vision models still struggle in my experience. I got around that by reading the RAM and describing all the objects positions on screen
It's basically a "Pig Butchering" scam. Get people to give you a little time and attention, and then reward them with whatever they're looking for. Then after you've gotten as much trust as you're going to get (fattened the pig), change the game to extract as much value as you can from them (butcher the pig), regardless of any long-term bridge-burning.

From the oligarchs' point of view, none of these users or services are going to be valuable anymore once AI automates the bulk of the economy (AI companies are strongly expecting this in the 2030s), so now's the right time to start "butchering" some pigs. In this case, shameless support for Trump in exchange for political sway for Bezos, regardless of the ramifications for the brand or customers.

In game theory terms, this the tail-end of a game of iterated prisoner's dilemma, where people start betraying each other after years of cooperation. And if AI progress accelerates, so will this.
Jeff Bezos completely owns the Washington Post - there aren't any external shareholders that could be harmed, or are owed a fiduciary duty.
I'm very much a "fix it yourself" kinda person but I might yell at you if you said this to me. Why? Because I'm cleaning up after you. Why don't YOU clean YOUR mess? Maybe it's one person creating most of the mess (Pareto is a bitch), make them do it. Or we pay cleaning staff, pay them more to do it, I'm sure it's less than you're paying me to do it. It's probably cheaper to buy a new microwave every month than pay me to clean it lol

You pass responsibility to someone who isn't responsible. You don't recognize this function repeats and people become over burdened. Sure "It's not a big deal" but that's in isolation. That's one time, one task. These things don't just add up, they compound
I think people struggle with the fact that it's not a legally so. However, per the article, Bezos is exerting power over WP because Amazon lost contracts to Microsoft (due to WP being critical of Trump). Their balance sheets may not be aligned, but their interests are.
Yeah, we know the market won't solve this. That's why people are talking about government standards.
Not OP but, the political polarization, governmental dysfunction, and eventually the rise of an extremist right wing government can be at least partially attributed to the deregulation of media - specifically the repeal of the fairness doctrine which requires that public broadcasters air both sides on controversial topics of public importance. This was done in the vain of deregulation, but if we want a “free market” for media, why not deregulate the air waves? May the most powerful transmitter win …

https://fair.org/extra/the-fairness-doctrine/
I think the point of GP is not that media control is new, it is that a big part of media control is right-wing and yet right-wing people keep saying that media are owned by left-wing. And of course, facts and reality are left-wing fake news and misleading info are free speech when it's convenient to them.

Looks awesome, congrats on your success 200k sales is a huge achievement!

What factors led you to seeking out a publisher, was it mostly getting art for the game or did the publisher bring more to the table that made you decide it was worth it?

What advice would you have given yourself just starting out knowing what you do now?

What did you get stuck on the most when making the game? I know a lot of people who have great ideas for games but a lot of the ideas don't translate well into being able to realistically do them in the game because of complexity. Did you ever have ideas that you thought would be really cool to do but it ended up being too hard / time consuming to do?

How close was the functionality of the game when you released it to what you had envisioned at the start? Did you go through any major design changes while developing it?
You should make a youtube series or a long series of blog posts explaining your journey from a personal perspective, the emotional ups and downs on working on this instead of getting a new job, from a technical perspective, and from a business perspective. What types of skills did you have to learn, what were the technical challenges, what pieces of code are you particularly proud of. What was your marketing strategy?
Those are clearly all letters in the sense of the spirit of the game. It's pretty unambiguous.

- Elevenlabs "Scribe" speech-to-text

This is all coming on the heels of Grok 3's voice mode last week.
Part of the problem is that "the left" is not a monolith. I regularly interact with a part of the left who sincerely believe both that "trans rights are human rights" is the key, defining issue of the decade and that critical race theory absolutely should be taught in schools.

These people do in fact believe the things that the right says they do. And they were in fact working for many years prior to this past election to push their worldview into the wider cultural sphere. I'm not pulling this from the media, I've literally sat in rooms where people planned how to use school curricula to build acceptance for both these ideas.

There are other parts of the left that aren't that way, and you're correct that the right benefited immensely from making the left seem like it was a monolith. But that part of the left that pushed these ideas so hard so fast actually does exist and actually did fuel the fire.
OK, That's a relevant context that I missed.

How did you go about validating the game is fun? Did you end up having an intuitive sense for it, or did you need external feedback to refine the mechanics?

Sounds good to me. You should definitely do that.
I see some good points here but overall I disagree. Traditionally all UI have required people to adapt to how machines work. We need to memorize commands and navigate clunky interfaces that are painstakingly assembled (often unsuccessfully) by UX research and UI teams.

The chat reverses this. It is now machines adapting to how we communicate. I can see some UI sugar finding its way into this new way of interaction, but we should start over and force the change to keep it on our terms.
