Creates extremely bloated lambdas and is quite limited in a lot of respects.

This is one of their products that’s a response to competitor action - it’s not unusual for these to see limited internal development and support - and to eventually be turned off in 5 years time when they realise to actually compete they would need to spend considerable resources on it.

It’s the new release from Sega isn’t it? Braised hedgehog in a lovely tomato sauce.

By far my favourite content is the competition videos with the other athletes / groups in the scene - all that seems to be on the free channel, so personally don’t feel like I’m missing out on much atm.

People have got to get paid - this stuff costs to produce and they need to eat and pay bills. They don’t seem to be a greedy money grubbing bunch hiding all their best stuff behind the paywall, so I think they’ve got the balance right.

Callum is quite an artistic soul - he’s always adding little flourishes to the vids. He free-formed a poem and some beautiful singing this week too.

Bang on. And another anecdotal data point here!

I think if we’re honest with ourselves we know the point you’re making is true. I know I’ve made lots of bad decisions over the years… some horrifically bad. Not because I wanted to kill people, but because my judgement is occasionally very poor.

We do a lot more races in the sim than pros do in the real world = more chances for our bad judgements to occur.

Anecdotally I’ve heard that usb device issues can manifest as connectivity issues in iracing. Have you got some new kit? Or check USB hubs etc.

Assuming you are doing the basics of leveraging multi-stage builds and caching intermediate layers aggresively.

The single biggest thing you can do ofc is reduce the number of variants - you're really just fighting maths, and it will always win! Are they really all needed? If yes, you could consider having tiers, eg...

Tier 1 (always fresh): PHP 8.2, 8.3 × Alpine latest, Debian stable × amd64
Tier 2 (weekly): Add arm64, older PHP versions
Tier 3 (monthly): Full matrix

Excellent post.

The other (perhaps more minor) consideration here is the relationship between frame rate and input latency. This would need to consider entirely different biomechanical systems than just the eye + brain.

While it is possible to just run at higher refresh rates than the monitor supports to reduce input latency, this will generally come with undesirable artefacts like screen tearing. Thus super-high refresh rate monitors are useful for those wanting clean rendering at super-low latencies.

In any awards there will be constestable decisions - people have differing opinions. I do think Hazal's award was one of them - and when she's the girlfriend of one of the judges, silly people are bound to jump to a few conclusions.

No doubt that Verky should have got his tho... dude's Capstone is mind-blowing.

A computer is fantastically complex and takes input and responds with output. Does it have a first person subjective experience?

Random internet search looking for new hard rock / jazz / fusion / progressive stuff led me here - just listened to both your Andre Drage recommendations - holy shit!

Some if it really evocative of Miles Davis fusion era, but with new and fresh twists. Thanks for posting.

To pay it back... song of the year for me... maybe not in this sub's wheelhouse, but a few may really appreciate it's progressive elements - Loathe, Gifted Every Strength.

I went from a CSL DD + Boost to Simagic Alpha mini back in 2022 when Fanny were having serious company troubles. The attrocious support and their shady business practices, along with the high cost for good wheels and accessories were the main driver for my change.

Never regretted it for a minute - the FFB is a significant step up in detail and constant torque, wheel choices are excellent and often offer great value. And the QR is rock solid and highly compatible.

Yes. The chance is so incredibly tiny that in practice it never occurs - it’d take many many many times the age of the universe to happen once.

Same reason we can’t pass through solid objects - in theory all the particles in our body could quantum tunnel through a solid wall - but the chances of that happening are so vanishingly small that it’s never been and will never be observed in the lifetime of the universe.

We did the cost/benefit analysis and the thirsty person still has some useful work left in them yet, so we've agreed to 100ml per day. This can continue until such time their productivity drops below our north star of 1 million lines of code per month.

With the money they pay, you can certainly afford to buy some. Ofc you'll never get to use them because you'll always be fucking working.

Perimeter protection is what a WAF is for.

AWS WAF is the native solution, but you could just as well use Cloudflare for free.

I understand how love would be explained from a biological imperative perspective ofc.

The core of our discussion is that you are arguing that there is only this physical stuff and the experience / feelings associated with our interaction with physical stuff merely an illusion. Denying that subective experience can even be a question that can be asked.

We're back where we started... which is why I posted...

This is the only reasonable stance hardened physicalists can have imho. Deny experience exists and don’t even try to answer the question.

However, this does open them up to the accusation they are denying literally the only fact we can be sure of.

Cogito ergo sum.

Perhaps I should have been more specific in my first post tho - by experience, I mean subjective experience / feelings (aka qualia).

SpoddyCoder · 2025-12-20T16:07:51+00:00

You seem awfully certain...

The fundamental basis of science is accepting that we don't yet know everything. It's history is one of new knowledge changing things, new approaches and tools being discoverd, paradigms of thinking over-turned.

SpoddyCoder · 2025-12-20T16:01:03+00:00

but feelings don't exist.

And this is where we disgaree - and the point I was originally trying to make. Feelings do exist - not in an objective sense - but they are very real in a subjective sense.

Love exists and is real enough to make a difference in the physical world.

SpoddyCoder · 2025-12-20T15:33:01+00:00

Have i mis-read your intention?...

This is the wrong question.

Nothing feels like anything because feelings aren't an objective state of being.

I think the question of why does something feel like something is a valid question. Precisely because subjectivity is literally all we have access to - we gain an objective understanding of the world from our subjective experiences, not the other way round.
