It's the right move if you want to spur on multipolarism by causing widespread distrust in a Western run global financial system. So in that sense I'm glad the US-led West has accelerated that process.

You need to draw red lines somewhere. If you wage attack wars on other countries or reject our shared values, you can't be part of Western society or enjoy its amenities. Don't do that, and you can. It's that simple.

You mean randomly attacking countries like Venezuela or Iran?

Honestly, I don't really consider the USA a western nation anymore in the sense that European nations are.

And so the US and Israel have been kicked out of SWIFT, yes?

(never mind that anybody with a functioning cerebral cortex understands that the roots of the special military operation lie in NATO provocation and politically neutral Kiev getting couped with help from the CIA)


I wouldn't bet my money that Israel won't be, eventually. The public opinion is turning against them right now.

There is no point talking with you. That you in Russia have your brains damaged, we all know, but the rest of the world doesn't live in a state of constant alcohol delirium. You might want to be aware of that.


I came looking for a discussion of this on the back of just watching Bilawal Sidhu's recent “The Craziest Mapping Breakthrough Since Google Maps” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-S-x0b9TrE

And tbh I didn't expect much of or any discussion because my feeling is that Hacker News is a forum which has long since only masqueraded as a geek/tech bulletin board and discussion forum. And this here absence reinforces that feeling.

I have the latter, it's fantastic


$600 for 32GB ram seems bananas

Unfortunately in the current market 32GB of ddr5 seems to run about $400 as 2x16gb DIMMS, and even more for 1x32GB DIMM (higher density chips are more expensive). So $600 really isn't much over market price, especially considering strix halo uses 8000MHz ram instead of the typical 6000 found in consumer dimms.

to what does the "it" in "I couldn't get it to turn on a debug flag" refer to?

I got so annoyed I fixed the annoyances.

- FPS tweak to fix variable speed - Can bounce - Life points instead of sudden death - Levels - A few effects - Better adjusted difficulty


No attribution to the original game?


yes, I should. In case someone outside this thread comes across that 'fork'.

Edit: I added due credit. thanks for pointing that out.


Publish yours un-minified like OP, so we can easily riff w/ or w/o an LLM ;)


The author hasn't complained (yet). I will open source it if he wouldn't mind.

Regarding moat, I doubt the logic behind a server would prevent anyone to copycat game concept and graphics. Games have always been cloned as community remakes, with little recourse to take them down.


I wasn’t suggesting you open source it, for what it’s worth


Nice! Some ideas: Please can you remove the text that hides the main game view. This is the biggest annoyance on both games and slows you down a lot. Also the gravity / physics feels off. Orbit is too slow.


This thread is a perfect showcase of "You NEED a moat".


Also, put your business logic on the backend


you removed the "spacebar" functionality


Should not Is that your new law? The non-agentic “Neovim and Zed *never tried to sign commits [for]~~with~~ me” therefore no tool ever no matter how advanced is not allowed to sign a commit.

Did it ever occur to you that for whatever reason you just might not be cut out for the software treadmill?


> > a set can contain itself

Yes -- in set theory sets can contain themselves

> > a term can have only one type... Due to this law, types cannot contain themselves

> Doesn't look like one follows from the other...

types are not sets and sets are not types therefore it makes no sense to link these two statements/judgements in the way you are linking them


> Yes -- in set theory sets can contain themselves

Which set theory? ZFC doesn't permit this.

Non-well-founded set theories are so non-standard that I think it's wrong, or at least misleading, to claim that unqualified "set theory" permits this.


> Yes -- in set theory sets can contain themselves

Hrbacek and Jech would like a word. It is very much not the case that in standard axiomatic set theory sets can contain themselves, precisely because this leads to things like Russell’s paradox. Sets containing themselves is generally prevented by the axiom of regularity. (Every non-empty set S contains an element wihch is disjoint from S) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_regularity

> types are not sets and sets are not types

This is also not true. All types can be expressed as sets but not all sets are types in the standard definitions.


to justify my claim with an excerpt from the article:

““ What is type theory

    “Every propositional function φ(x)—so it is contended—has, in addition to its range of truth, a range of significance, i.e. a range within which x must lie if φ(x) is to be a proposition at all, whether true or false. This is the first point in the theory of types; the second point is that ranges of significance form types, i.e. if x belongs to the range of significance of φ(x), then there is a class of objects, the type of x, all of which must also belong to the range of significance of φ(x)” — Bertrand Russell - Principles of Mathematics
In the last section, we almost fell in the trap of explaining types as something that are “like sets, but… “ (e.g. they are like sets, but a term can only be a member of one type). However, while it may be technically true, any such explanation would not be at all appropriate, as, while types started as alternative to sets, they actually ended up being quite different. So, thinking in terms of sets won’t get you far. Indeed, if we take the proverbial set theorist from the previous section, and ask them about types, their truthful response would have to be:

    “Have you seen a set? Well, it has nothing to do with it.” [<=== important bit] 
So let’s see how we define a type theory in its own right. ””


The modern formulation of functions as sets doesn’t require type theory but is entirely congruent with Russell’s definition, just much less cumbersome. In this view, φ is a relation on the set (D X C) where D and C are the domain and codomain of the function (which he calls the “range of significance of x” and the “range of significance of φ(x)” respectively). So since he’s talking about propositional functions, here C is the set {true, false} and D is all the things that are like whatever x is ie the set {x’: x’ is of the same type as x}.

Now a relation is just a particular type of predicate (ie it too is a set) so here we have x ~ y if φ(x) = y for all (x,y) in (D X C).

Notice here both the propositional function and the type are sets.


Oof. If sets and types aren't the same, then sets and barbers are definitely not the same!


TFA is right. Parent comment is not really rebutting in any meaningful way. Your rebuttal makes less sense.

>> "a term can have only one type... Due to this law, types cannot contain themselves"

> types are not sets and sets are not types therefore it makes no sense to link these two statements/judgements in the way you are linking them


> in the way you are linking them

This is what the text says, not me.
