How can I access this forever without fears of it going away? I hate changing things like workflows or interfaces really. How can I keep a copy locally to run it such that it no longer requires access to the web or freeze the current working version?

Not OP, but wanting eternal life without leaving a legacy just sounds like someone trying to be a god and is very narcissistic behavior

Struggles to not be Jim Carrey from The Truman Show

Cant always say its hardwork... As a people observer there seems to be a lot of people coasting, or doing as little as possible, and yet get promoted, or they get into really high paying positions. This is far more common in larger corporations, where the visibility is lower.

In smaller companies the people are definitely worth their weight in gold as if they are not doing the work its very visible.

Yeah, I am jealous, but such is life...

Still not cheap... even in 2024 GPUs were very inflated. The GTX 970 was around 350 at launch in 2014, and in 2024 was 650-ish.

Brand new cars, yes, most people are NOT buying brand new that is another privilege.

Looking at it from the perspective of StarCraft, doing a Blood Bath 1v1 against a bot its pretty straightforward. Adding another player to make it 2v1 has the potential to make it a lot easier, but there are moments where the bot could take out one of the players or at least pressure them enough to tax resources. Obviously, this all depends on the skill level of all the players/bots and their strategies.

Instead of the two players having their own base, they are running a shared base against a single bot. This makes it challenging as now the players are forced to communicate, or one can sandbag, but overall adds a bit of complexity. Though a shared base should allow one player to manage one aspect of the game while the other player manages the other aspect; such as building units and the base, while the other player navigates or harasses the bot.

It is possible to logically work together to get a better outcome, but the tools we have currently don't support that. I find this multiplayer approach intriguing as with the right formula could unlock a nice super power. As I would imagine having twice the mental bandwidth available such that more things are noticed or caught or imagined...

How do they track that? Is there a log book where someone has to write to?

"Observed EMP555 step on loop heat pipe. Conducted visual inspection of the affected area; no damage found, pipe remains nominal."

This is one way to handle the problem, but not the only...

These specialized tools are likely the cause for the increased complexity within Postgres. I would imagine that if we had more individuals focused solely on Postgres, there would be more discussions, articles, and solutions for a lot of the problems "solved" by adding more tools to the problem.

I don't understand why the answer is to always bloat the system with more specialized software and technical debt, instead of optimizing the existing system. If Postgres can truly handle all of these situations, then mastery of that one tool should be focused on.

I guess its more the rapid start-up mindset to get it up and running fast to sell the company, and leave the problem for someone else which is why a lot of our world is falling apart...

Well that is not entirely true, I recall trying to learn game development. A lot of the time I spent was searching posts on web forums or asking questions in DAL/EF/Free/etc net and getting told to learn how to ask a question... not only that but I had learned it was better to write games not engines. Though I still managed to find out about GDI, which led me to DirectX, OpenGL, and then SDL. Those were scary... This is also when I learned about modding games, specifically Half-Life modding, which for some reason led me to creating bots for Counter-Strike just because I could and that is when I learned ladders are really difficult.

The load times of VC6 versus VSCode... yeah. I would bet you can load a VC6 project faster in OP's environment faster than VSCode could load the same project in a current environment.

Yet here we are compounding the issues by adding more and more layers to these systems... The higher the level it becomes the more security risks we take.

Just know that it will still get cracked and cheats will exist. I suspect this is Microsoft's next "console" as they have been developing "anti-cheat" for quite some time.

Why even question it? Its a donation that no one ever had to make.

Just a thought, maybe a "tunnel vision" mask toggle? So I can focus on the center of the screen without all the peripheral noise. It doesn't have to be a significant loss, but dark edges and corners with a nice fade to the visible circle in the center. Whatever that equates to..

Unrelated, but I wonder if the OP's dog moves from the bed to the floor because the radiator turns on? might need more sensor data :D

As others have stated this is not what the article/study states, also speed is related to a street drug with unknown dosage and control. While the prescribed pharmaceutical-grade medication is precise and well managed with slow release mechanism, making it vastly different from the street drug.

> Just look at the recent CVS Caremark forced switch from Zepbound (2nd Gen) to Wegovy (1st Gen) in July.

This is something I wasn't aware of, are you on 2nd gen Zepbound then?

My wife has been plateaued at an undesirable weight and has been wanting to try this, however, the VA refuses to support it regardless of the fact she fits their guidelines and requirements to receive it. They recently banned it due to costs.

I prefer her to use Zepbound if we can get it, the question is how? We refuse to use the alternative methods where the drug is hand made to be equivalent to them as that seems very sketchy.

Inelegant was the state of the Internet back then, I loved it.

Yeah I am in the same boat, I have a lot of airthings products primarily for the radon measurements, which is at the same price point.

you sound like me, I was a little younger though ... aimbots, wallhacks, esp, textures, radar, it was all intriguing and I hated encountering cheaters in CS 1.4 and 1.5. I also began dabbling in writing bots around this time, as POD Bot was awesome!

php had also been a thing of mine, I spent many months in DALnet and EFnet #php. Primarily around the time of v3 prior to v4's big launch...

Cost/pricing is similar enough to a salary, why is it not realistic to have these costs front facing? I can't see anything positive from the consumer perspective with hiding the numbers. The business side, there is always a reason to hide things.

Its likely over 100GB of data, so I wouldn't say its necessarily unusual to spread out the bandwidth across multiple hosts.

There was less to distract back in those days

That was pretty much any IRC community

You really just answered this yourself:

> Assume a computer would need several minutes to simulate everything that would've happened in the stick. I clearly got the output faster than a computer (and with more precision), so does this imply I'm doing anything particularly fascinating?

You assert that you have output faster than a computer with more precision. However, you do not have any empirical data, just observable data; as stated by zdragnar:

> The difference between you breaking a stick and the computer modeling it is that you've measured nothing. You don't know, with any precision, the amount of force you used, the rate the stick broke at, how much mass remains in the two pieces and how much was lost to splintering, etc.

Then you further state that you can measure those with a ruler and a scale; however, this inherently takes time with significant uncertainty in your measurements and calculations. Whereas a computer will provide all of those numbers.

The other thing to consider is the method of simulation such as finite-element analysis (FEA) and the resolution you need. You can get segmented data all the way to down a specific volume of that stick, good luck with the hand calculations on that.

Unlikely as those services barely scrape the surface of genetic coding, if I recall they only sample from specific regions of the DNA to generate their data.

But I am also likely wrong, so I am hoping someone can challenge/confirm this thought.

It's also an extremely niche field, with a very high attrition rate in terms of training, and few people are truly capable of working in that industry. There will be retraining for certain, and a reduction in pay/rank. They certainly do not need to lose their job over a mishap, while an egregious one, it is still a trainable moment.
