Missing the hackernews part of product to research and development,: Is your company planning to use the exponential growth nature of software to enter into a overlooked niche or rapidly take over a existing industry? In that case, product development does not really catch the situation. Cause using the situation, closing time window till competition appears or funds run out, is way more important than the product or its quality

And then replaced by someone who rewrites the history of his predecessor.. result a mad reign of madmen..

Eh, no? Zero-k was there first, and gathered vital info. The original setup for spring rollout of games was thoroughly inadequat to supporting large number of gamers. Fuck, the first lobby server wrote match infos into a freaking textfile.

The first indicator of that popped up, when valve ended greenlight, and just greenlit all the things. Which propped Evolution RTS upon the steam front page for half a day, flooding the original lobby system and showing how inadequat the whole ecosystem was for that. The original Evo dev Forb learned from the whole mess after he returned from his day job.

Zero-k then learned the lessons, developed a ingui lobby, started the whole matchmaking and better server deployment, detached from the whole "one central server" thing of the spring eco system.

BAR did some graphical overhaul, with Floris, Beherith, Sprung and the whole original crew supported by new faces like Teifion and on and on. They optimized the Spring engine into a new version- more tailored to BARs needs and reworked alot of the stuff.

Its gpl open source, so the project order and who invented what is pretty flowy.. everybody copies from everybody, one progress is everyones progress..

Eh, the engine was a accident. It started out as a 3d-viewer, capable of replaying ta games by the svedish yankspankers (clan sy).

What started out as a viewer, escalated into a 106.0 version long engine, providing a war that consumes planets, each side with only one final wish - Total Annhilation at Zero-k, beyond all reason.

Naw, the community comes and goes ebbs and flows. Its mostly on recoil discord, some are still on the irc server, the rest is on the BAR discord.

So what can create dry air? Circulation chimneys and cool caverns were the moisture runs down the wall? I wouldnt want to rely on electricity in a wet-bulb.

There will be a web of trust, with a valuation of nodes by trustworthyness. And people will get only one id for this. Ones name is ones value and a reputation will be a hard earned thing again.

I wonder if it wouldnt make more sense to just train a Commentator Neural Net with the pages you collect. It then can "remind" you of similar pages you have seen before, directly in the page, with little floating comments like "..skip..." "..contradicts.. http:/link/x/y/z " "..actual paper link.." "..paper is p-hacked shovelware.." "..authors reputation.."

It could be trained to become your personal pre-reading assistant, similar to information accumulators and pre-evaluators in governments agencies or company hqs.

It would rust and crusted with chalk and beneath that layer untouched.

It also suspicously starts to look like planned economics, once the mono-duo-poly stage is reached.

Rare goods, long queues, no choice, bad products and the leadership is off, chasing its own tail in some basebal metric detached from the world. It even features market-libertarians having to defend practices like shredding perfectly fine goods in ware houses.

The moment the ussr was gone, the race horse finally could binge and become something very similar to the ussr economy, but instead of obsessing on tanks & steel, it focused on excel sheet virtual wealth wankery, disguising the slide back into the gilded age feudalism.

Cause society never appears in the heroes tale of one man doing the impossible, besides as a choire invisible of doubters.

while also remaining capable of creativity, not locked into corsetts of thought, contributing to the economy insteadof cruising and taking.

Ah, the old debate and approach. Centralize the control, Decentralize problem handling, centralize the knowledge needed for untangling parallelism, realize you just created a centralized authority, undoing the parallelism.

Then there is the physics engine view to all things. Data is just sand washing against the shoreline of parallel computation instances and interaction, is just sticking these dataparticles together, taking them out of the general flow to be interacted on in unison, carrying the resolution authority within them as long as they are "clumbed" together. Data is just particles, the programs interacting on it are just a limited number of program cells, traversing it and interaction clumps it together, making the processing of it slower, but also centralized to computation node. A centralized node, processing a huge clump of interacting data, even throws a sort of "relativity" shadow, as other, smaller, non interacting data, is processed faster and leaping ahead in the interactions.

Well, that plancton will die off, when the oceans get accidic.. so it will be the trees only in the long run.
