Corruption comes in many forms. Sending 25 billion to the most corrupt country in Europe is to me more significant (than other scandals) due to scale.

> I'm a Canadian living in Canada

I am not intending a personal attack. I see something different happening in this country than maybe others. Every aspect of the country has significant corruption. Most of it will not fall under normal (criminal) corruption.

I can leave you with two important highlights to help understand Canada:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/13/canada...

https://companiesmarketcap.com/cad/canada/largest-companies-...

I do not.

I am aware of couching statements in the report but the conclusion was so definitive that the government immediately tried to appeal it and failed.

"The Federal Court of Appeal confirms that the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and ultra vires [beyond their legal authority], and that it infringed paragraph 2(b) and section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms." [0]

I am also aware that parliament is supreme. This is because the structure of Canada is that of a British colony. However that doesnt change the conclusion of the courts.

Ironically the exit of the Cabinet members highlights further corruption. Canada has transferred ~25 Billion to Ukraine. The minister responsible for the debanking of Canadians has left Canada and taken an official post in the Ukrainian government for the distribution of this money.[1]

In short you have completely no understanding of the level of corruption in this country.

The Canadian gov debanked people during a legitimate protest using the emergency act (among other violations). This was later ruled to be an illegitimate use of this act. Nobody has faced any consequences for this and none are expected.

I dont see that listed in this wiki entry. Perhaps this wiki is incomplete.

Canada isnt liberal; it is corrupt. These are not the same things.

I dont want CT scans of wearables. I want wearables that can do CT scans.

The author probably does not understand how radicalizing this text is.

RIP with the calculators.

Sounds centralized.

HN has survived many things but I dont think it will survive the LLMs.

Ah yes these are mislabled. But GTA III is indeed 2001 so the comparison is still correct.

I submitted this for exactly this reason. Tbh nothing here sounds very fantastical. Perhaps drones with ir/thermal basically gave soldiers wallhacks. We also have to understand that they are not up against a modern sophisticated military.

What I would like to see is more witnesses and perhaps more footage.

In terms of textures you could already do pseudo-bindless using texture arrays. However there were quite a few limitations but I think the two bigs ones are that this was consider to be conceptually one resource and the textures had to be the same (format size etc). I recall some engines did this kind of bindless for particle effects.

That being said the non indexable feature feature that remains is the pipeline itself. Some engines have 10s of thousands of shaders.

I see the mention of Wave64. It would be nice if we could all standardize on 32. The hw backend can do what it wishes (dual/quad issue etc).

An economist is to economy as to what an alchemist is to chemistry.

Why would you link to basically a blank webpage. I dont even know what this is? Why would this blank webpage end up on hn frontpage? What is even going on here?

What I expect from my indies is love, care, and attention to details.

Yes but they commonly dont end up as FT/FFT. For example wavelets and DCT.

I dont like the Fourier Transform. It is infinite which makes it coarse and rough and it it gets everywhere.

Is this AI made?

Yes this is weapons technologies. Many targets are fixed (on the earth). If you can fly by wire jamming technology is useless. This was solved for strategic weapons 40 years ago at great cost.

in-vogue trite. The question for these thought-writers at this stage is simply incompetence or malic.

It is not realistic but even worse it isnt even desirable. There is huge swaths of opposition to "global organization of labor". The last thing you want is to oppress a bunch of people under your vision of perfect government.

If your plan relies on total coordination of the the entire globe you have no plan.

In a game this is likely done as simply a prerendered animated texture (atlas). Perhaps in a modern AAA game you might try a GPU particle system with 10k+ particles.

AGI is when the last human is terminated.

This is actually slave morality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%E2%80%93slave_morality

According to Nietzsche, masters create morality; slaves respond to master morality with their slave morality. Unlike master morality, which is sentiment, slave morality is based on ressentiment—devaluing what the master values and what the slave does not have. As master morality originates in the strong, slave morality originates in the weak. Because slave morality is a reaction to oppression, it vilifies its oppressors

A must have for those not Cyrano de Bergerac.

Riven is still breathtaking today. The studio where they made it is amazing https://www.agostudios.com/cyan-inc

It is very humbling to write your own chess engine.

I am not even sure where you get "smashing a device violently in front of a child" comes from. He said gets the hammer as in he would perma destroy it.

Anyway I tend to agree for the most part anyway. I was just making a guess about your age irl based on what you said. However some other data actually indicates you are likely gen-x.
