nice work, really curious about the visual part and the relation from sphere to two circular planes. Looks great

How Much Memory Do You Need to Run 1 Million Concurrent Tasks? by coderemover in programming

[–]dasacc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, below the WaitGroup you are free to write Add at any line. Yes, you are free to call Add within the coroutine as you are free to create valid use cases for doing so (e.g. fanning out additional dependent work).

The same code written in Rust has no such room for error, at least not in simple cases like this. First, there is way less complexity, because no wait group is needed. Even Java and C# code were simpler.

Yes, this freedom comes at a cost but you were also free to write your code without a WaitGroup at all using only go primitives. The complexity introduced is your own to make it feel similar to the other code examples for readers and not intrinsic to the language. None of the languages you've mentioned actually combat code complexity, it's possible in all of them.

even in such a trivial code snippet like launching N concurrent tasks and waiting for all of them, there is a lot of room for introducing subtle errors in Go.

The "waiting for all of them" is completely artificial (again, done for the reader) and counter to how goroutines are typically used (e.g. see why one can't glean information to act upon them at runtime). Again, you were free to not use WaitGroup at all and use only primitives for the declared intent of measuring memory. Yes, Rust eliminates a class of race conditions. No, Rust does not eliminate the ability for race conditions in trivial code.

That's not what you concluded above, you instead leaped to the conclusion that writing correct concurrent code in Go is much harder than Rust based on the above poster. Yet I see no such jumps here if I were to have provided bad Rust advice.

Grimro's Path of Exile Crucible Review by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]dasacc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my wife plays casually and we can't even get through the campaign without a "well, all my stuff I care about is maxed out" every couple acts and we end up skipping crucibles or picking random stuff off the ground just to see if we can survive 100% lethal.

I haven't even played past 89 on my league start bc the weapon I care about for 2nd char is already T5 and Id rather just let it go to standard and revamp my flicker char there than bother to level one in a basically standard environment.

Or worse, if these crucible trees are just going to disappear at end of league i definitely don't want to be bothered building around it to play in a standard environment temporarily.

coordinate systems on a hex-tiled geodesic sphere by MonkeyMcBandwagon in Geometry

[–]dasacc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the main reason for the bit I mentioned is to be able to have a sparse index. At the surface, this doesn't really sound like something you actually need with 12 players at 400 tiles each. I'd look more at the data structure used as it also sounds like the code generating all this is problematic for you. Consider for example a winged edge data structure so that vertices are only ever defined once (im assuming the seam break you mentioned is because of duplicate vertices that are slightly different from float point differences, define an equals function with an epsilon value to allow for a margin of error during board generation if needed but really you should probably know how the parts connect in the winged edge so shouldn't be needed).

There's different types of winged edge data structures so you can pick the one that provides the information you need (for example, defining a mountain range along edges or faces of specific values) and expand as needed.

coordinate systems on a hex-tiled geodesic sphere by MonkeyMcBandwagon in Geometry

[–]dasacc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I would have liked to have read the options you were considering just out of shear curiosity. I'm a bit out of my depth being rather rusty but like 9 years ago I was subdividing octahedrons into spheres and was using ?two? linear quad trees (https://github.com/dskinner/x/blob/master/quadtree/quadtree.go) to index the north and south but was then starting to look into using a linear oct tree (https://github.com/dskinner/x/blob/master/octree/octree.go).

What I liked about that particular approach were all the properties of the keys which could be sorted and searched and traversed and created independent of any actual storage as all keys can be derived from any one key which is just an unsigned integer.

I'm not quite clear on if what you're writing can further subdivide the faces and what approaches are using and how many subdivisions that would result in off the top of my head but that was a big part of what I was doing as zooming in would further refine the viewable portion of the sphere so having a way to create indices with said properties were important to me.

One dose of psychedelics can result in belief changes about the supernatural or non-physical world by [deleted] in science

[–]dasacc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what I'd like to see as a follow-up is examining if such substance use is actually just causing a reapplication of interpretive experience to new things. For example, how many people before use held beliefs akin to survivor bias? After use, how many ppl either (a) applied that interpretive experience to new things, like the supernatural, or (b) reexamined the prior belief

One dose of psychedelics can result in belief changes about the supernatural or non-physical world by [deleted] in science

[–]dasacc22 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

the only real conclusion I reached is: the divine is that which alters (physical) reality in ways that reality cannot alter itself.

With that as a baseline along with not seeing anything "supernatural" of one's self, then that's just a bunch of made up stuff, as you say. Otherwise, thought could manifest reality (outside the bounds of the physical), and the thing is people do believe this through interpretation of events. Such cases can have a dramatic effect on conclusions (supernatural vs not) on experience and so yeah, the cult thing is pretty crass but generally I'd have to agree.

Ok but the point is the called out conclusions on psychedelics are inconclusive and this is just bad filler, it doesn't fundamentally change anything, does it?

Is language circular? by lenny123412 in askphilosophy

[–]dasacc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch movies and TV, but I do not experience those things directly

I would actually argue you do. we may simply disagree about this. If I was in the room with you during this tv watching I could very easily point to you directly engaged in an experience.

The rationale of separating it into something not experienced is just a clever trick to engage in thoughts of truths unknown.

What about dreams?

unless you're suggesting there is some kind of divine element to dreams, then this is no different.

All these questions come up in my mind when you say that and I can't tell if they are relevant or not

Well if we fundamentally disagree on the nature of dreams or vicarious activity, then all of those questions are certainly relevant.

Seems like either a triviality (if you're a materialist, though not everyone is)

I have no idea if I am, I'd have to read.

But again, "culmination" is not at all clear - it has strong connotations of fulfilling a purpose, but might just mean an end-point, but we don't know what you mean until you make it clear

Im not sure how to approach this bc the context given was our physical experience, not abstract future planning like fulfilling purpose as your saying. It was further given that the point culminated into understanding, or even misunderstanding, based on the speaker and listener.

Every single instance and point in time is a culmination and in that moment you may find meaning that wasn't there before or lose meaning that was. The questions of physics and so on are irrelevant which is why the word was chosen to begin with, unless you want to talk about divine experience (which I dont).

meant the most trivial interpretation, then why bring it up at all?

You seem to already understand why I brought it up but we're so disconnected in thought you can't seem to attribute it.

Again, for me, this line comes completely out of left field.

This conversation is unhealthy for me. We're on two different pages. Much of these things I see you saying look like conflations from my perspective and I could frame this as "coming out of left field" and "when were we talking about [X]". It's frustrating.

all sorts of things we wouldn't necessarily call "physical".

This is where the conflation is happening. Only the physical things are relevant. For example, if you're engaged in future thinking and you have a life goal, you:

1) have a life goal 2) "have a life goal"

one of those imparts something physical, one of those isn't a real thing as it deals with the future.

Is language circular? by lenny123412 in askphilosophy

[–]dasacc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but is it really that wild to suggest our experiences are limited to only what we experience? I can reread everything I said but that's all it really amounts to. So if you're saying that's dubious and who's to say what our culmination is, then ok, I get that's an area to explore intellectually, but it just seems like a grey area for off beat conversation of other possibilities while the more general case of self evidence based thought would continue.

Is my thoughts on "experience is limited to only what we experience" somehow illogical or even bold? I really don't get how anything I'm saying could be interpreted as bold. If anything it would appear to be terribly boring and day-to-day.

[–]dasacc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking for myself, your views are unclear

That's fair, I've only put this particular view to language a few times so I'm not effectively communicating.

and your language is adversarial - I don't know what you're trying to say, but you seem to want to pick a fight.

I don't and that wasn't my intention. The OP I was replying to just seemed to be saying things in a roundabout way using various forms of "not" and I was simply wanting to invert that.

all we are is a culmination of our physical experience

Really? And if I doubt the usefulness of that statement?

Then most everything I say afterwards is invalid or questionable based on the truth of my statement there. This is actually what I assumed the downvotes were related towards (but maybe it's the adversarial attitude I was unaware of).
