I don't know how much I buy the reality of people putting a hamster up their ass. I've owned hamsters. They love to crawl into tiny places. (If your hamster ever escapes and goes under a dishwasher and refuses to come out, just put a cardboard tube under there and it will crawl right in and then you have it trapped.) While it seems perfectly realistic that one could get a hamster to crawl into a particularly loose asshole, it ignores the behavior of a panicking, trapped hamster: aggressively chew your way out.

The wildcard with Iran is that they have tremendous internal problems. A fair portion of the population, and even the military, might defect to, frankly, anyone at all that invaded. Who knows though. The US would certainly mismanage it and lose control of the puppet state within a decade or two.
As for the empire, it was already shown to be a joke with Afghanistan. That doesn't mean the US can't lash out and cause serious damage, especially for small, poor, retarded countries. The real line where countries start ignoring the US's threats is when they invade a non-shithole and get actively repelled and have to quickly retreat out of the country.

The quality is totally unacceptable though, and our maps are over a dozen square kilometers and the planned unit count is ~10k.

Aka, a grid. But that leads to bad results where either you're wasting vast amounts of resources on an incredibly fine grid or units can't pass between objects they should be able to because they aren't aligned with the grid well.
Not to mention the fact that you then have to run an algorithm to fix the grid-based plan to have direct paths tightly wrapping around obstacles, which is just as hard as writing a proper any-angle algorithm in the first place.

2025-08-13 01:16:58 GMT

- reply

A* is for grids, generally speaking. You can apply some of the principles to any-angle pathfinding, which I am already doing, but it doesn't help you choose potential paths to check. Often a valid path is just slightly offset from a colliding one so you can't just mark entire areas as invalid.

2025-08-13 00:25:19 GMT

Great. The algorithm that works fine for the test pathfinding cases completely degenerates when met with a line of overlapping circles.

That's what most of my jobs were. I was the dev getting rushed to ship everything out asap. It was shit code, but it got out there fast, sometimes even the same day.
What's not useful are tards who can barely code and only know how to cobble React plugins. The reason they're not useful is because they're slow, and hiring a swarm of them doesn't make them any faster, it just creates a much larger amount of shit at the slow pace.

It's not about what code is shipped, it's about who's making it. One skilled dev is faster and cheaper than a dozen tards who can only cobble, even when the goal is to shovel out garbage as fast as possible.

Depends on where you go. Lots of places are cheap enough to live that you could get by just doing random day labor under the table until you figure out something better.
Chalanes (guys who do random shit manual labor on construction sites) make between $15 and $30/day here, heavily depending on whether you can manage to show up sober and remain approximately so for most of the rest of the day. You can rent a crappy room for about $90/mo, utilities included, and you can eat on a modest budget for around $150/mo. Phone is $10/mo, car isn't needed, nor any sort of insurance. As you can see, this leaves a fair bit left over for beer. This is in Mexico, but likely applies across most of Latin America. And if you have more skills, aptitude, or work ethic than a literal junkie, you can get better work than being a chalan.

My understanding is that part of it is arbitrary limits placed on the APIs. Brave will just raise those limits.

The reality is that it's really hard to inflict devastating financial losses with bombing. Most things can be fixed quickly and relatively cheaply. Further, the more stuff you bomb, the less valuable the targets become. This even applies to factories; the rubble gets swept up, the roof gets repaired, a couple machines get replaced, and you're up and working again in no time. The costs round to zero on a national scale.

When we look at distant stars and galaxies, their measured motion is inconsistent with the estimation of their mass. They move like they're heavier than they look. The matter we can't see but is implied to exist by the orbits is called "dark matter" (you know, because we can't see it). Nobody knows what it is or if it even exists. It might just be horrible errors in the estimation of the mass of distant objects. It could be exotic particles or some other nonsense. It could also be a bunch of extremely cold osmium balls floating around.
"Dark energy" is probably bullshit though. The whole "universe is expanding" thing is sus, and the supposed Hubble Constant has some pretty big error bars.

Limitless retardation. Even if you believed space lasers were real and being used to start wildfires in some sort of space-age Rube Goldberg contraption, blue is a dumb color to paint your house. Blue primarily reflects blue light while absorbing the rest of the colors. It might provide some small protection against a blue laser, but is effectively black from the perspective of a red (or infrared) laser. They should paint their roof white, and not just white in visible light but also in UV and IR.
Not that painting your roof would protect the trees nearby which will catch fire and then spread to your house.

Iran's major problem is that they're 1000km away at the closest and have no easy land attack route, nor a feasible naval approach. This puts everything into the realm of ~$1m+ intermediate range ballistic missiles and large long range drones. Said drones are slow and easy to shoot down with guns, that is, if the Israelis have AA guns. The big question comes down to whether Iran's stockpile and production is bigger than Israel's stockpile and production.

Shooting down missiles is really hard. I once worked with a guy who was a sailor on a new Aegis cruiser of some sort that was undergoing sea trials in the Caribbean.

That's just one boat, and that was a good 30 years ago, but missiles haven't gotten any slower.
