So seem to be overreacting to my point and pretty defensive.

I'm not saying that the train scene is a miss, i've very specifically saying that it as at that point that i've seen people check the timeline and see a remaining timeline that 'feels' longer than it 'should' be as an example.

I'm not saying the western rhythm is the only thing that matters or that all other structures are inferior. I'm saying that these movies have a different structure, and that's honestly it. I've seen it throw people off, it throws me off, I don't want them to end, I don't throw away my copy of it but it's a bump in the road nonetheless.

I love these movies they are some of my favorite gifts to give to my young nieces. I give them as a gift on a holiday and we do a watch of them while my siblings and parents and whatnot inevitably watch sports. I think this easter it might be finally time for mononoke (the oldest is 16 and her sister is 11.. i think it might still be a little intense for the 11 year old).

I'm not sure that I would call myself an anime 'fan' but I have consumed, and continue to consume anime as part of my media diet. I don't watch every series that gets hyped by the anime community but I catch one here and there, sometimes they stick and sometimes they don't. (recent things I've enjoyed are DanDaDan, Delicious in Dungeon and the Ranma 1/2 remake.)
I'll see your carefully-reasoned scientific take and raise you my own anthropological take: Maybe one time head priest just didn't like Pork and his preference stuck.
The community seems rather divided as to whether these are intrinsic, or we solve these with today's tech, and more training, heuristics and workarounds.
Everyone earns the scars from understanding that all data has a schema. If you use pg, you mostly resolve the schema on write; if you use mongodb, you resolve it into a schema on read as well. The latter turns out to be very hard to make robust.

1. Define “so hard”. It is definitely harder to identify someone by having to trawl through all their posts and infer behaviours than simply clicking a button which gives you access to their legal ID, full name, marriage status, parents names, home address, bank account number, phone number, and so forth. Security and privacy aren’t binaries, but spectrums: each wall you put up is a new opportunity for an adversary to give up.

2. Maybe I don’t understand the question, but I don’t see how that’s relevant or true. Social media is routinely used as evidence in court.

Sometimes, no matter how much work you put in, you will NOT get better at something.

All these advice pieces are garbage. Easy to say, but then you put in thousands of hours of practice and dont seem to get any better.
The C128 was great, and they sold something like 4 million of them. But that was overshadowed by the C64 selling 15-20 million, and the fact that very little 128-specific software was made, because of the 128's near-100% compatible 64 mode. Unless your program had to have a 128 feature, like the 80-column screen, you wrote it for the 64 and had a much bigger market.

I think it was also hurt by the fact that Commodore was turning attention to the Amiga, marketing-wise, by the time the 128 was on the market. It was intended to be a stop-gap, just to have something new until the next big thing, but it did better than that and the company didn't know what to do with it.

Bil Herd has done some talks about the development of the 128 that are worth watching. They threw the thing together in a matter of months, and features like the 64 mode and the Z-80's CP/M mode were added almost as accidents.
Fifteen years ago, I moved from Orlando to Seattle, and almost 20 degree change in latitude. On top of that, Orlando is famously hot and sunny and Seattle famously cold, cloudy, and rainy.

Despite that huge change, I adapted to the new climate just fine. I don't mind the gloom or the cold. The six months of gray skies don't get my down like they do a lot of people.

But even after a decade, I still haven't gotten used to how much the day length changes. Every summer my brain keeps expecting the sun to go down any second now while it sits up there near the horizon giving an extra two hours of daylight. Every winter it feels like the sun disappears too early.
There isn't an effective difference

I have, of course, been in Men's rooms. In my experiences in Men's rooms, I have seen remarkably few penises.

These transgender people did not suddenly pop out of nowhere. For context, I know several trans women who are in their 50s, and transitioned a long time ago.

I see with transgender people what I saw with homosexuals. That they were some type of phenomena, a new social contagion. That they are on the attack. I thought, surely the general population would never be stupid enough to fall for such an obvious falsehood yet again. Of course they've always existed.
I had an otherwise very competent VP of Engineering who was enamored by a former employee. One day during our 1-on-1 we got to the topic of what we know for sure vs. what we don't. He said that he tried to avoid thinking about that because this former employee of his had told him of his own adventures with this train of thought and that it "took him to a very dark place".

Apparently he had never heard of Descartes? It was a great lesson in the fact that hubris is very real and just because you're good at one thing doesn't make you worth listening to on any other topic.
Huh, today I learned that MUGEN wasn't already open source.

I guess the graph doesn't show the location of the sun even with daylight.

In the extreme latitudes, you have short days where the sun just goes maybe 5 degrees into the sky and then down again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzv_3LeA85c

And days where the sun just circles around your location on the planet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in0B1OQG3-M

The opposite also happens, where the sun is below the horizon for months or weeks, and at the end of that period, it will inch towards the horizon, and you expect sunrise, but nope, it'll move furrther again... of course there'll be twilight (followed by night), but you might not see the orange ball of bright light for weeks or months.

I wish there was an easy way to find people to sponsor whose repos I use (not depend on because every project I use multiplies the same dependencies) but there are tools I use daily that aren't dependencies in my project like wezterm or atuin.
This same phenomenon seems to happen often. My go-to explanation is that the "serious middle ground" you mentioned is actually using the new tools doing some actual work, just a little more efficiently, without much fuss.

That usually does not make it into the headlines, and doesn't "drive engagement metrics" or whatever, so it also isn't in the interest of the news to push that middle ground narrative, and so we get the ridiculous polarization.
Just my opinion. I have no experience working in the industry _for someone else_. I am, however, working on my own game (3+ years). I'm not a believer in poor work environments, as I don't think that environment maximizes creative output. I know what it's like working with less than 7 hours of sleep, or sitting in front of a screen hours on end. It dulls the mind. It's like being half alive.

All that said: A hit based industry is not one that provides stability. I cant think of how slapping a union on top of an unstable foundation is going to solve anything. I've heard a couple people who crossed over from the film industry say it's just going to turn most roles into contracts (just like the film industry), and will quickly filter out the unskilled and less driven people.

There isn't really a solution to this. Market pressure keep the prices of games down. Funding gets a better bang for buck by investing in up and coming countries (e.g. Poland). Most qualified[1] games don't even break a million. Hitting [just!] $150,000 in revenue is when Steam starts seriously promoting your game[2]. $150K is not even enough to live in a coastal city (after dev. costs), never mind hiring people.

[1] The dev had the intent to market _and_ sell a legitimate product, which is the minority of games on steam.

I don't think it's fear.

It's more of a cultural thing of something getting extremely popular too quick.

When something rises to an absurd amount of popularity really quickly it becomes stupid. People like to talk shit about it. It happens with bands and crocs.

People have forgotten just how revolutionary the LLM. The hype is justified.

I'm telling you if somebody next week invents cheap space cars with lightspeed drives that cost only 4$... within a year those space cars will be referred to as junk and overhyped by the very people who use it everyday.

That's how humans are.
> When living in Stockholm, I came to appreciate the various levels of twilight and darkness, rather than thinking of day and night so strictly.

In Chile you get somewhat long days and short days too, especially in the south, but instead of trying to be super precise about sunlight, the afternoon and night blend in and sort of crossfade. You end up with "8 de la tarde" (8 in the afternoon), and "6 de la noche" (6 at night) depending on the season.
I've had trouble getting a great answer to this question - I ask it in various places every month or so, most recently here: https://nitter.net/simonw/status/1895301139819860202

On paper fine tuning smaller models can greatly reduce the cost for a specific task, but I've not heard many real-world success stories around that.

I think vision LLMs are one of the most interesting applications here - things like fine-tuning for better results extracting data from a specific paper form or report structure. Again, not many public examples of that.

> We can't know what "suffering" feels like to less intelligent and "simpler" animals so why make our sentience a criterion for the morality of eating?

Using the power of the scientific method, we can form hypothesis. Take a bite out of a few hundred people, give them IQ tests. Give surveys. Use induction.

As our ability to communicate with more and more animals improves with technology, start giving them surveys after taking a bite out of them.

My hypothesis is that every animal along the questionnaire wave front will overwhelmingly self report that they prefer not to be eaten.

At some point, we'll all have to wring our hands about an arXiv preprint where somebody convincingly lets us know that the corn doesn't like being eaten either.

We'll find a few really depressed plants and animals that are ready to be eaten, and some people will propose we make the world a more depressing place so there's more consent in all this. That's a bad take, but the argument will last 1000 years. All the while everyone and everything will keep on eating and eating.

Have you ever sat and thought about all the eating that has gone into making this moment for you? Like, all the eating you've done, all the eating of the creatures and plants that you've eaten have done. All your ancestors. So on and so forth back to the simplest primordial chemical reactions. Life is the tip of the spear atop a long cone of death and teeth gnashing. It's quite horrific.

The universe would be a lot more chill if we could just leave the clouds of fluorine to meditate. They're quite serene when they do that.

> Do you legitimately believe that someone is just going to go and write a new mobile operating system?

Lots of people have done this. Moreover, several of the existing ones (including Android) are mostly or entirely open source, so you can start from that base if you have something to add.

But then these alternatives fail to gain traction, why? If all you did was take Android and remove the spying bits from it, that should be popular. People should be wiping their phones and installing that the second they buy one, or having their tech friends do it for them, the same as people do with a clean install of Windows to remove the OEM crapware that comes with a new PC. And yet they don't.

Because there are locked bootloaders, remote attestation, widespread third party app dependencies on Google Play services, undocumented hardware with kernel-specific binary blobs, etc. If you do a Google search on how to install a custom ROM, Google's AI summary thing will show up to warn you that hardly anybody does that and if you do there are security risks, leaving people to imagine that if you do it some Russians are going to steal your car, wipe out your bank account and cause you to get fired, even though what "security risks" it entails are not actually specified.

It almost goes without saying that Apple is even worse here.

It's not because nobody wants to do it. There are millions of people who even put up with that level of friction and make it happen regardless. But the barriers inhibit adoption by normies and keep the alternatives in the small minority, which is the issue, because these things have a network effect and need a threshold amount of scale to become viable.
you were right. it didn't occur to me that antivirus would scan everything I open. Moved all files into an excluded directory, reading files is now almost 10 times faster. Thanks kind stranger !

Think about what you're saying - the majority of those games are at least 16 years old.

That itself is fairly damning but what puts it over the top is that there are wayyyy more gamers nowadays than there were 16 years ago.

Modern AAA stuff is just simply pretty bad. Games made on a conveyor belt just don't work, at least beyond a point - and that point, wherever it may be, is well behind us for just about all AAA studios.
What is missing from these two representations is the ability for something to become trivially bypassable once you know the trick to it. AnC is roughly that for ASLR.

Flux, Redux, and SwiftUI
This is the first chapter of our "ImmutableData Programming Guide" book for product engineers building SwiftUI apps. Over the course of our Programming Guide we build an infra and multiple sample application products demonstrating how the ideas and philosophies from Flux and Redux can be built for product engineers building on Swift and SwiftUI.

The first chapter is mostly "conceptual". Before we write some code we discuss the history and evolution of two ecosystems: React and SwiftUI. We discuss how the React ecosystem shipped Flux (and later Redux) as the dominant choice for a unidirectional data flow and why migrating away from MVC style patterns led to code that was easier to reason about and easier to maintain.

Many engineers in the SwiftUI community are evangelizing one of the "flavors" of an MVC style pattern: MVVM or MV. The ImmutableData Programming Guide brings the ideas and philosophies from Flux and Redux to defend against the problems from trying to scale MVVM to large teams and large products.

The ImmutableData Programming Guide and the ImmutableData repos are free and open source. There is no subscription and no paywall. The code and documentation is free. The sample application products are free.
You could use C++ and ignore the rest of it.

I spend most of the day in a fairly dark room, but make sure to get at least 20 minutes of sunlight on my bare skin and eyes every other day -- but it's not because I like extremes: it is because sunlight is good for me, but LED light bulbs are bad for me or at least they are if they are of typical brightness and they are on most of the day.
