In both Factorio and Satisfactory I end up using long (and I mean, multi-kilometers-long) belts all the time and never trains.

Something about the track building being clunky, or I don't know what really the underlying thing that's making me prefer the simplicity of items-moving-and-splitting-and-merging-on-belts is

Meta begins testing its first in-house AI training chip
> Two party systems end up governing from their extreme positions while trying to pull 1% over.

Why must it be so? If one party was non-extreme, would it not be better at pulling the 1% over? (In fact, there are a lot more than 1% who don't bother to vote because neither party speaks to them.)

It seems to me that the thing that pushes parties in the US to the extremes is the primary system.

The party that actively attempts to destroy a government by blocking all bills, then point to the underfunded, broken system and say "government does work, you should sell all of that to a billionaire" would LOVE your idea.
The mechanisms are economic in nature if you assume the context of a first past the post electoral system.

It's worth repeating that FPTP maximizes the number of those who are discontented: Parties lose all incentives to appeal to more than 50%+1, so the remaining 49.9% are left high and dry. This implies that a proportional representation system will be more stable, because a higher percentage of the voters will be represented.
Who will buy the phones when no one is paid to produce them? The cars? The food and the clothes? Wealth keeps concentrating upward, great leaps in efficiency and throughput, but I can't see how it's a sustainable model for continued consumption growth year after year.
> Additionally, deployments to ECS are typically handled by invoking the AWS API within a GitHub Action, without continuous reconciliation or drift detection.

No they aren’t. All of the major IaC solutions (TF, CDK, etc) do ECS deployments directly through their own API, including with drift detection and updates.

Good for you for finding something that works, but it sounds like your advice related to IaC solutions is based on a misunderstanding of the benefits of IaC and the tools available.
That's not really possible. If you're writing a dissertation and find that some of the important foundational work you're building upon is wrong you can't just ignore it. If it's wrong, you need to say it's wrong in order to justify why you've chosen not to consider it in your dissertation. If you can't claim it's wrong, then you have to use it in your dissertation otherwise you're going to leave yourself open to criticsm that your dissertation ignores important prior work in the field. So the only choice you have left is to write your dissertation built upon work that you know is trash, and then if you do later choose to publish criticism of that work you're essentially trashing your own dissertation. And of course, none of that matters, because you're still going to face professional consequences when you choose to write the separate paper disputing the famous paper.

The term "racist" lost its pedantic meaning long ago. From the current Oxford Dictionary of English:

racism
/ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

That is ultimately by problem with the article. It isn't a bad investigation but it cannot stand alone. I never review on function in isolation. It always needs to be in context of what calls it (and often what it calls).
Is that why everything is cryptographically secured in the boot chain? To ensure only trusted code is loaded?
I'm American of Irish descent and have spent a lot of time in Ireland. The walls mentioned were sort of an academic trick. They had to do "work" to get "paid" and so they were made to just build walls so that they could then be paid in food and not starve.

If you hike around and see them, it's stunning. They were handmade. The rocks weren't insitu, they were carried in. It's not the pyramids, but in a relatively contemporary time they were made rather than just providing assistance.
"So you would say, if someone has a talent for cooking, specializes himself, becomes a professional," - do you typically know all that about the people who staff the restaurants you visit? And do you think it is the case?

Your opponents aren't thinking that way. They will do whatever they can get away with.

I'm not sure what this means, but they seem honestly shocked when other people think that way.
People act as if it's a fluke, as if "if we could get back to how things were just before all this, things would stay better!". No, we don't want to drive off the cliff, but we do want back to that time we barged full speed past all the "road closed ahead" signs.

I would like to add something to the point made here:

"For long function chains or callbacks that stack up, breaking up the chain into smaller groups and using a well-named variable or helper function can go a long way in reducing the cognitive load for readers. [my emphasis]

// which is easier and faster to read?
function funcA(graph) {
return graph.nodes(`node[name = ${name}]`)
.connected()
.nodes()
.not('.hidden')
.data('name');
}

// or:
function funcB(graph) {
const targetNode = graph.nodes(`node[name = ${name}]`)
const neighborNodes = targetNode.connected().nodes();
const visibleNames = neighborNodes.not('.hidden').data('name')

return visibleNames;
}

The names of the functions being called are rather generic, which is appropriate and unavoidable, given that the functions they compute are themselves rather generic. By assigning their returned values to consts, we are giving ourselves the opportunity to label these computations with a hint to their specific purpose in this particular code.

In general, I'm not a fan of the notion that code can always be self-documenting, but here is a case where one version is capable of being more self-documenting than the other.
All such questions are easily answered once you take a look at the per-capita budget each country has for the required expenditures.

India is extremely poor per-capita.
I recently purchased a new laptop battery and installed Ubuntu 24.04 on a Macbook Pro from 2009 that I had kept in storage. It is used for light note taking and e-mail, because I wanted to try and see how viable it was to try and stretch the hardware a bit longer instead of adding to the e-waste problem by buying something new.

It's worked well so far. I will keep using it, and then eventually perhaps pick up another refurbished machine when it finally comes time to replace it.

That's the ideal, but I think today's models are too crude for that. Relativity is built on differential geometry, which was new at the time. I think inventing or even building that is beyond today's models; there's an infinitely large space of mathematics that can be invented, and barely a gradient to guide the search. Humans don't coin mathematics by gradient descent. The most I've seen is fitting observations using existing mathematics; a technique known as symbolic regression. The E=mc^2 equation could be curve fitted like this, but it would afford no insight.

That is indeed the case. Perhaps I should have clarified that my comments are directed at the current political system of the United States. The purpose of my message was to highlight that there is a certain opposing force at play, one that is shifting the working system – specifically, the US electoral system – towards a range of diminished effectiveness. Essentially, the rules are being manipulated in such a way that while they may technically function, the fundamental objectives are still being undermined. These objectives, as outlined in the US Constitution, are to ensure domestic tranquility and promote the general welfare. It is necessary to address this systemic vulnerability, as this issue is becoming increasingly relevant in many places.
Do you mean why aren't there more commercial compilers?

I ask because Pascal, BASIC, and C++ have always been free languages, in the sense of not proprietary. There also have always been both free and nonfree compilers and interpreters for them, as there are now.

The language being "free" and the compiler/interpreter being "free" are two different things.
Well, after reading, perhaps it's not a "backdoor". I can say, most of us do not like undocumented APIs floating around as they do seem suspicious. I'm still going have my fun, but as I stated I do miss simply being disconnected as a default. Not sure why I was down-voted for my opinion.
Just a note, but it is “the people” and not just people, since there is a difference.

I wouldn't say the momentum has stopped.

Anecdote alert: I travel to India at least once in a year and I have to take the train each time (sleeper class) and I can definitely attest that things have significantly improved since I was a kid. I have been taking these same trains for over 25 years now. For starters the toilets actually don't dump directly between the tracks. The railway employees seem to be quite happy and take pride in their job (they used to always have depressing faces when I was growing up).

Another anecdote : If 20 years ago you took a flight that goes to India, you would be frustrated with the condition of the toilets. It was so bad I used to avoid Indian carriers just because of that and intentionally take a layover in Europe so at least part of the flying experience would be cleaner. These days I don't feel that way, I find flights to India pretty much the same as any other flights.

That said, there is still a LOT to be done, but I think overall people do seem to care about hygiene more than they used to years ago. Also, assuming there is always a certain percentage of population that will never care about this (in any country) it is bound to look a bit worse in India due to the higher population density.

lesson learnt - don't set anything to autoupdate. This includes browsers, OS, applications, phones or hardware.

Update _after_ you investigated the update. Ideally, check that the update didn't cause problems by googling it, perhaps after a few months or even a year or two. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Author here. I should have been more clear about this in the article, but it was a combination of two different factors. First, the company alienated OEMs by making their own cards. Second, the cards they made were close in price to ATI and Nvidia offerings while being slightly less powerful. To make it worse, they were struggling to produce, and so while they had some interesting hardware in the works, they couldn't get it to market quickly enough.

Nvidia did sprinkle 3dfx's technologies across their products where it made sense, and many of the 3dfx folks continued at Nvidia for some time.

One measures the time of flight of the satellites signal, not the angle it arrives from!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateration
You really should try to pack an unbroken thought as a single line of code as much as possible. That’s the idea behind chaining multiple functions together on one line instead of spreading it out over several lines. Eyes go horizontally more naturally than up and down, it fits our vision’s natural aspect ratio. And stop making deep nestings.

Making a single function call per line assigning output to a variable each time is really just for noobs who don’t have great code comprehension skills and appreciate the pause to have a chance to think. If the variable’s purpose for existence is just to get passed on to a next function immediately, it shouldn’t exist at all. Learn to lay pipe.
This is where discussions of post-scarcity and post-labor economy come in, like UBI. We keep kicking the can down the road on that front, but this is going to happen and we need to establish such a sustainable model.

Unfortunately, it really seems like the plan is to strip the house of the copper for billionaires to become trillionaires, then burn down the house with the rest of us inside.

Hence first slowing down everything for a while so the attacker has some headroom for the signals they would need to speed up.

Alternatively, just slowing down some signals more than others would still amount to a global slowdown, with some signals being sped up and others slowed down relative to the sum. If all signals drift into the same direction simultaneously, a receiver would just interpret this as its own non-precision oscillator running slightly fast and adapting, right?

Even if feasible, this would still be a much weaker threat than that of a completely attacker-chosen location, velocity, and time, but it could still be catastrophic (imagine e.g. introducing a gradual shift to an aircraft's navigation system and nudging it across an international border that way).

I have some pictures of bigger factories - but they tend to be filled with artefacts and general nonsense. I'll dig them out and add them to the appendix. The zig-zag into plastic production was the best 'lab' result, as its pretty clear what the agent is doing.

Yes, the agents can consistently produce economic growth in game - but we don't really see a take off, where the growth keeps compounding over time. This is certainly _possible_ in FLE, as agents could write their own Python utility functions etc to construct and manage large factories (imagine imperative Factorio blueprints), but we haven't seen that yet.

Designing the API to not get in the way was the biggest challenge. It was imperative to avoid modal collapse - where the factory could not be sufficiently well expressed in the outputs of a program. While we think that we have generally 'solved' this, there are occasionally examples where the agent acts based on its previous output, but fails because there is something blocking it that it cannot easily see. One example would be the edge of water getting in the way of an entity placement.

All of the lab tasks were completed by a human using only the API, and we have lots of tests (inductively) demonstrating that it is possible to get to a rocket launch using the API alone.
Not the parent, but:

Neither. While colonialism didn't _create_ generational poverty, the systemic genocides of the British were new. Colonial policy of prioritizing exports directly led to the deaths of millions. That's a fact.

A similar comparison would be between Roman slavery and the chattel slavery of the Americas. They are both abhorrent practices (just like the genocides caused by Indian rulers in the pre-British period), but it pales in comparison to the scale and horror of antebellum slavery.
That's still 'trade' though. As in, money changing hands.

An agent writing its own library to interface with a good solver like Z3 (or even writing some basic planning algorithms itself) seems like the epitome of a "costly long term investment that does nothing for the short term". The only thing I can see overcoming such problems are deep search trees, but AFAIK that is not how LLMs work at all.

Before British rule India had one of the highest GDPs in the world, it became impoverished after the loot and famines of British rule. Then it had 60+ years of corrupt and stagnant rule, in the last decade or so the people have had enough and are now voting in people only who believe in development. This is what you are seeing in this data.

There are no recommendations; you have to organically check out the people who read your article to see if you like their writing (if they have any), or add people from an out of band source. Content is as ephemeral as you make it. It's very common for people to only leave a post up for a day or two, but it's up to the author.
