I have to assume that unless the cost of buying at costco and driving back home is higher than buying it all at amazon and having it delivered.

The total price + driving cost is a good proxy for how efficient the whole process is; amazon will somehow include in the price somewhere the delivery home, and both companies largely won't subsidize their whole business method.

Social value is a little trickier; a lot of people benefit much from delivery, but in the end people probably don't buy everything from amazon or costco anyway.

So how do you trace the boards?

I am assuming that you put the board at the correct angle on the floor, let it go over the upper entry floor, use a ruler to extend the line of the wall over to the board, trace that, cut it, then reverse the process but this time the part you just cut can go on the floor which will produce the correct angle on the wall?

Maybe they could have included an option to switch between GC implementations, like Java had done before.

Maybe in all those years they could have thought of that.

I honestly doubt this; very few companies have enough data. Maybe we could see mergers so it happens but basically it would mean everyone would need to be Google sized for it to work.

Very few people are going to play this on a CRT, tho. And even if you included a CRT shader, most people will turn it off.

It's ok to pine for the old techniques, but this is a game made for a Genesis in modern times. It has to stride both.

This is great but keep in mind that Go allows the programmer skip these invariants in various ways.

I wish Go had a serious type system. Never mind algebraic types, but one that fucking respected private values and did things like validating enum values.

Newer, more expensive console runs better than older, cheaper one.

Insane.

I will give you 4.

1, 2 and 3 happened a ton in the good old times before AI. If anything, we can make the code be more tested than before, but that requires a lot more engineering, that is made easier by LLMs.

It's just we haven't adapted to do them.

Don't say single nine, it sounds ugly and bad.

Say five eights of reliability. Maybe six.

Worst case, meta will sue the programmer who produced infringing code.

I mean if the code is not copyrighteable that does not mean anything; it's just public domain code except that meta will just use good old security by obscurity to protect it. If somehow a meta programmer vibes code, say, VVVVVV, and Terry Cavanagh recognizes it on his facebook feed and sues meta, and wins, all that will happen is that meta will take down the copy of VVVVVV, will fire and sue the engineer that vibe coded it and call it a day.

Surely there are existing rails right now that could be transformed into a bullet train line.

Like properties and regulations are a true problem, but it's not like trains don't exist at all in America.

Like the people who generally get rsi from playing their instrument?

Right but who is going to prosecute? the Department of Justice?

I mean they could just feed the solutions into the training data. Then suddenly the bot will do real good at HLE.

Ah yes, Russia, the famously territory starved country.

USA won't injure or kill 1 in 25 of young adults in the Iran war, unless somehow Iran does have a nuke and wants to use it, come on.

You are not telling the whole story.

You can mix indentation and braces to delimit blocks.

It's insane.

Dunno about Xcode, but if you put a go compiler in there, I doubt it will compile or run slowly. Some dependencies may require C, but you could avoid that mostly.

Have you ever looked at a dollar bill in your life.

Who do you think printed it. Who signed the bill?

The US can just print money and receive goods in exchange of literal paper. Or just put an extra zero in a bank account and receive goods in exchange.

And if a certain yahoo decides they want in the money printing scheme...who do you think is going to send the goons with guns to prevent the government monopoly in creating literal wealth.

No company ever got a man to the Moon.

Sure, some companies participated in the process. But it was a government that did it.

It's been more than 50 years and private companies haven't been able to match it.

The greatest technical achievement of mankind was done by a government. Private industry could, at best, help.

Sorry all the other things you name are great. But the winner is government.

Conservatives discovered a cheat code to get: (a) people to have to identify on the computer everywhere and (b) control what they can do with and without this identification.

Of course they are copying the play everywhere.

Where are the robots going to sleep? Outside in the rain?

This whole thing is the problem. AngularJS was released in 2010. If in 2010 I'd know that the damn thing would die in 2021, and that I would have to rewrite it all by that date, I would not have used the damn thing in the first place.

I also at some point inherited an app written in Vue 2. By the time I got it, Vue 3 was already out and a couple of years later, Vue 4, completely different to Vue 2, was out. Rewriting was not an option, so I had to create a docker image that can compile the damn thing offline, cause if some part of the supply chain breaks, well, that's it.

Ten or eleven years is not a super long time in enterprise software. Having to keep upgrading and changing libraries just cause the devs of the libraries get bored should not be a thing.

Great job!

A problem I found was that getting at a local bus station at London, showed all their destinations as London, but without any precise place of where I would arrive. At one point I traveled from one part of London, to Bash, a completely different city, back to another part of London.

Well yes, but the coincidence that Quarks have charges of multiples of another particle, that is not made up of quarks, should rise your brow, shouldn't it?

Like we could accept coincidences if at the bottom is all turtles, but here we see a stack of turtles and a stack of crocodiles and we are asking why they have similar characteristics even if they are so different.

I've thought about this same idea but it probably gets very complicated.

Let's say, you simulate a long museum hallway with some vases in it. Who holds what? The basic game engine has the geometry, but once the player pushes it and moves it, it needs to inform the engine it did, and then to draw the next frame, read from the engine first, update the position in the video feed, then again feed it back to the engine.

What happens if the state diverges. Who wins? If the AI wins then...why have the engine at all?

It is possible but then who controls physics. The engine? or the AI? The AI could have a different understanding of the details of the base. What happens if the vase has water inside? who simulates that? what happens if the AI decides to break the vase? who simulates the AI.

I don't doubt that some sort of scratchpad to keep track of stuff in game would be useful, but I suspect the researchers are expecting the AI to keep track of everything in its own "head" cause that's the most flexible solution.

The funniest part is that the Mars Trilogy is hella optimistic about the tech needed to get and live there.

Lots of people are also trying to just use postgres for everything, tho.

Kiro is such a disaster. It starts well with all the planning, but I haven't been able to control it. It changes files on a whim and changes opinion from paragraph to paragraph.

Also it uses the Claude models but afaik it is constantly changing which one is using depending on the perceived difficulty.

Yeah but that's still not an invasion. Does your boss invade your home every day you work at home?

Boots on the ground, baby.
