Loading happen once per session and is less painful than frame stuttering all game, for example, so given a tight deadline one would get prioritized over the other
I tried playing GTAO when it was free, and oh boy. Loading for 10 minutes, arrive into the game and see you're not with your friends. So 10 more minutes to load into their server. Then you start a mission and 10 more minutes of loading. The server disconnected? 10 minutes load to go back without your friend. Join your friend? guessed it: 10 more minutes of loading.
For a billion dollar game, it's insane I spent more time loading than playing the game. Imagine how many more $$ they could have gotten if players could double their play time.
Loading in GTA Online absolutely does not happen once per session. It happens before and after every mission and activity. I am not sure whether it's a full load/was also affected by that bug, but I can certainly tell you that around 20% of my GTAO "playtime" consisted of staring at a load screen.

Glad you listed, because that data shows apart from Sino Vietnamese almost half a century ago, PRC launched basically no wars of aggression, i.e. everything including SCS was territorial defense, i.e just. And if it was in chart form, the peace disease lull in last 30 years relative to PRC growth makes modern PRC rise the most unprescedently peaceful in modern history, borderline on absurdly serenity. Truly somehting to emulate. Can you believe those Eurocusk gave a Peace prize to Obama?
Way to move the goalposts. GGP asked for wars within the last century, and GP provided such a list.
Regardless, not sure why any of this matters. I'm not one of those "China bad!" hand-wringers, but if you don't believe the Chinese government is a threat to western countries' sovereignty and economies, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
It's explaining / contextualizing the data, aka most of that list is "defensive" and limited in scope, which different vs products from actors who are expeditionary happy. The data shows PRC... having inherited 14 land borders conflicts from ROC, have largely limited use of force to just territorial sovereingty issues, which btw 12/14 have been resolved in last 40 years, essentially all with PRC concessions. Combine with PRC growth and subsequent rise, PRC peace is historic abboration, i.e. the PRC threat to wesern sovereignty is FUD outside customary state activities like espionage. Now if west wants to weaponize PRC threat/FUD to disguise the threat to genuinely competitive PRC products that will stomp their domestic industries, then sure, that's geopolitics 101.
You mean the 12/14 land borders disputee who settled with PRC ceding 50%+ concessions. Probably very happy because again objectively that is magnanimous by historic standards. For SCS where PRc offers to share but retarded democratic countries can't becausen itd political suicide, even now it's really just PH being a cunt. Otherwise unsettled land borders left is India and Bhutan because bhutan border ratification is linked to India's. So the answer is most of the neighbours think PRC did them a solid. Going rate for free math lesson that PRC has equals/most borders in the world and relations with most neighbours are good is free. Combo free geopolitical lesson that it's not good with the ones with US military cooperation that generates most propaganda.
I get information from everywhere but reality has a china daily bias. This isn't complicated, you ask about PRC relation with neighbours I point out blind spot to of those with poor foriegn policy literacy, i.e. those who don't read enough china daily, that PRC has a lot of neighbours and most of them are in fact settled with PRC majority concessions and now at peace. If we're going to go even more China daily, essentially 100% of PRC disputes were inherited from ROC not only has PRC not caused any of the disputes, they have been borderline treasonous in unwinding through mostly diplomacy and minimum violence.
Except you know, NOT internationally recognized except to manufactured misconception by headline scanning useful idiots. Reminder PH PCA ruling is not actual international law, as in recognized by UN/UNCLOS, ITLOS, ICJ. TBH its demonstrably stupid to even hold the position UNCLOS can rule on sovereignty claims - they fucking can't. To suggest PRC is infringing on others maritime entitlement in SCS is so stupid it's not even wrong because under UNCLOS it's not even legally possible. And also you know, who cares about a few butthurt fisherman, lol, like that's mild as fuck complaints on the spectrum of territorial drama. Every time people bring up muh fisherman they're just highlighting how generous PRC is behaving.
of course it doesn't, and I encourage you to quote where that was claimed.
that neither help nor comfort the fisherman. being third or fourth at the Oppression Olympic doesn't mean that less oppressed people have to suck it up and roll over.
It's a wierd line of reasoning to call trespassers... fisherman. These are "criminals" operating in disputed waters where their actions are classified as illegal by 1+ (frequently more than 1) disputees. They are schrodinger criminals due to grayzone nature of unsettled martime delimitations but umabiguous criminals under someones interpretation who are suppose to be repressed via domestic police enforcement.
Again this isn't just PRC doing it, this is 5 party dispute and most sides are doing their own law enforcement, up until recently with more militarized means like actual weapons discharge - PRC CG wasn't even armed until recently and they're still using relatively mild measures.
The OG comparison was Gaza, the parallel to these fishermen are closer to hamas insurgencies invading sovereign Israeli territory on the grayzone to legal spectrum. But what they are not, are "innocent", Gazans getting repressed (blown up) in their homes.
Well there's a lot of people far more upset about the fishermen than the dead civilians, which is especially weird to me seeing that the people complaining's tax dollars killed said civilians
Leading cause of death under one year is sudden infant death syndrome which happens mostly at nap time, situations where the adult may need rest, self care or housekeeping. You cannot fathomly watch an infant 24/7 especially if one parent is working and there's minimal support sistem (living far from relative, working grandparents etc)
ox and hearth rate baby monitor definitely alert on sids. prevent, no, and that's why they are not medical devices, and wouldn't make sense to pay a randomized controlled trial to certify as one.
works? yeah. hearth stops beating, ox goes under parameter, parents get an alert.
That opens up greater margin for local production. Not everything is elastic, but as long as the producer side cheats in term of local subsidies, less regulation, slave labor etc, implementing tariffs seem a good choice.
you cannot just carbon tax everything locally and then let the other corner of the word produce at a fractional price polluting the same world, exploiting worker etc, without wrecking your internal labor market.
What you see as customer paying more is cause by government letting this shit go on for too long, and now the correction is ugly. But it not like its not needed, and at some point needs to happen before it reaches the breaking point.
I'm not in favor of the current round of tariffs as used by current administration which seem a baseless negotiating tactic, but the effect of outsourcing to bad faith actors has pushed the working class out of balance, they simply have no way of competing internationally unless by accepting a step downgrade in working and living conditions
> That opens up greater margin for local production
My country mostly produce pine wood (and other soft wood). I like hardwood furniture, but its only imported stuff because we have very few producers. Putting a tariff on hardwood furniture could be a good idea to increase local production, as long as hardwood is not tariffed. If both hardwood and hardwood furniture get taxed, i will have to pay more, and local production will never have greater margin, as those will be hit by base material tariffs.
(To be clear: I live near on of the biggest hardwood harbour in Europe, and buy my wood directly out of the sawmill, but my point stands)
Yeah and thats where I was going with the last point about tariff needing to be integrated with the rest of the economic system as a tool and not arbitrarily as a tool for negotiation. Tariff are a damper to any economic system and reduce efficiency, they need to be proportional, predictable and non escalatory (well, as much as possible)
> That opens up greater margin for local production.
It opens up a larger profit margin for local producers for sure. Production? Maybe. Maybe not. Because there is no incentive to produce more or better. Because the cheap bad faith actor is gone and prices can now match the export price or be just slightly below it.
>but the effect of outsourcing to bad faith actors has pushed the working class out of balance, they simply have no way of competing internationally unless by accepting a step downgrade in working and living conditions
> What you see as customer paying more is cause by government letting this shit go on for too long, and now the correction is ugly. But it not like its not needed, and at some point needs to happen before it reaches the breaking point.
You don't seem to see the contradictions in both these statements. If the prices go up and working class isn't paid as much for their effort then it is for naught. The failure hasn't been to continue outsourcing, failure has been to improve wage conditions - because market was supposed to correct it or worst case it is "socialism" to even try and raise wages.
But as always people want to test economic theories for themselves and they should. See if their lives improve under a capitalist government which is going to trample on their rights.
What happen when the TOC is too long? How does the index handles near misses? How do you disambiguate between close titles? What happens if the documents are not in a strict hierarchy?
1. What happens when the TOC is too long?
-- This is why we choose the tree structure. If the ToC is too long, it will do a hierarchy search, which means search over the father level nodes first and then select one node, and then search its child nodes.
2. How does the index handle near misses, and how do you disambiguate between close titles?
For each node, we generate a description or summary to give more information rather than just titles.
3. For documents that are not in a hierarchy, it will just become a list structure, which you can still look through.
We found our MCP service works well in general financial/legal/textbook/research paper cases, see https://pageindex.ai/mcp for some examples.
We do agree in some cases, like recommendation systems, you need semantic similarity and Vector DB, so I wouldn't recommend this approach. Keen to learn more cases that we haven't thought through!
I think at least in part the unwillingness to explore that is making our society shades of gray and shapes of blocks "to maximize value" and "protect resale value" etc is just a result of widespread reduction in purchasing power.
The video provides no test of the unsharpened sonic knife performances, so any claim made are instintively fishy marketing, however cool the product may be, it was fresh out of packaging, what happens once the blade is dull? If we have to sharpen it it instantly loses all it's value.
also, no test on power armor, I don't think they have identified their core market.
While I agree there's more to baking that mixing stuffin a bowl a scale only gets you in the right ballpark, when baking from ingredient there's always some variation in temp or humidity or ingredients that screw you over compared to an industrial process or even a professional bakery with controlled environment and supplies. The rest comes from experience I guess.
