> I wonder if an MVNO has local-level data to detect a situation like this when hundreds of phones are in one area and don't move

MVNOs don't care because they collect the profit without having to deal with any of the network issues. The carriers in turn only care when it impacts performance for legitimate customers, as they also see a piece of the pie.

Look at it from the other direction. If there was a contest between two athletes or teams and it was adjudicated without bias, would you think "You know what would give this more soul? A flawed judge with poorer vision, who may or may not have been pressured or baited before the game to influence their decisions!"

Review systems for cricket and tennis seem to have enabled more crowd involvement and anticipation in the lead up to a decision being revealed.

That's funny. To me one of the whole point of containers is that it's not systemd that's PID1.

Combine that with a distro like Talos, an immutable Linux distro that contains less than ten executables and where none of them is systemd and...

At long last containers and stuff like Talos show a path leading to, in a not-so-distant future, a world where we can be systemd and [ini]/microsoft config files (from a microsoft employee btw) free again.

I played it on Steam Deck when it first came out (docked, standard HD display). It was perfectly acceptable, as long as you're fine with semi-stable 30 FPS and cranking down the graphics a tad. The only real problem that I encountered was that the game wouldn't recognize or remember my input settings, and would always default to controller-only, so I would have to attach a controller to navigate to the menu to switch it to keyboard; hopefully the Deck-native version fixes that.

cities in the sky? With all due respect…your head is in the clouds friend. We can barely keep the earth from warming catastrophically as it is, and you want to what - 5x global emissions? to build cities in the sky, where life is HARDER than on earth?

That’s just nuts. How about we learn how to not screw up the earth first before worrying about cities in the sky. Because i guarantee we’d find a way to trash the next planet really quickly. Humans (as a large species) tend to be great at that. I don’t see other animals trashing the planet. Just us.

I’m just looking forward to better satellites - better weather forecasting, communications, research, etc.

if a baseball is the width of two or three baseballs away from the "zone" (dynamic based on player usually), then providing a way to challenge the call (it was called a strike when it is clearly a ball) is completely fair and retains the soul of the game. Baseball is really a game of fairness. There's no "buzzer beaters" or timed sessions. Everyone has their chance per inning to impact the game. In a game of relative fairness, adding more strict honesty when it comes to something like this will only improve the game.

Perhaps and if you have some kind of monopoly than definitely. Things beings, "yours" isn't some fundamental part of the human condition. CEOs serve their employees and shareholders and the ethics of the business space they operate in. Owners are ethically obligated to engage in fair business practices. I'm sick up to my neck of this sentiment that if John Galt is holding a gun he necessarily has the right to shoot it at somebody.

Modern democracies aren't founded on realist ethics or absolute commitments to economic liberalism as totalizing-- they're founded on a ethical balance between the real needs of people, the real potential for capital expansion, and superior sentiments about the possibilities of the human condition. As a kid that supported Ron Paul's bid for the Republican nomination as a 16-year-old I can't help but feel that libertarian politics has ruined generations of people by getting them to accept autocracy as, "one ethical outcome to a free society." It isn't.

> The difference between a contradiction and a revision is the difference between parallel and serial.

Eh, ya kind of, but it seems more like the distinction between parallel and concurrent in this case. She doesn't appear to be wrong in that instance while at the same time the models might have indicated otherwise, being an apparent contradiction and apparently both true within the real scope of what could be said about it at that time.

They don't "support unlimited immigration", they reject the legitimacy of national borders and of immigration as a concept.

The problem is the roll out as the bees knees by anthropic, when its.. just some JSON slop without a ton of careful thought behind it.

I think it should be mostly thrown away and start over with an MCPv2 that has first class auth, RBAC/identity, error handling, quotas, human-in-the-loop controls, and more.

I continue to write codebases in programming languages, not English. LLM agents just help me manipulate that code. They are tools that do work for me. That is delegation, not abstraction.

To write and review a good spec, you also need to understand your codebase. How are you going to do that without reading the code? We are not getting abstracted away from our codebases.

For it to be an abstraction, we would need our coding agents to not only write all of our code, they would also need to explain it all to us. I am very skeptical that this is how developers will work in the near future. Software development would become increasingly unreliable as we won't even understand what our codebases actually do. We would just interact with a squishy lossy English layer.

Dual/mutli licensing is one avenue towards effective monetization of GPL code.

GPL use of the code is kosher, if you want to use it without being beholden to the terms of the GPL, you pay for different licensing terms.

That said, the GPL is not always the best license for this and yes, it can lessen the grip you have on extracting profit from code, but the lessened grip is the point of the license.

Not the greatest article, computing power consumption has absolutely increased and muddying it with greenhouse emissions isn't the point. It's still an increase in electricity, the way in which we supply it doesn't change that.

The average desktop computer uses much more power than mentioned, you only need to look at premium desktop components to see how much extra power those components require than compared to previous years.

High end graphics cards decades ago required only around 155w, nowadays the average GPU is pulling 300w and upwards of 400-500w. Data centers command significantly more power than they used to and will only increase with AI usage.

The International Energy Agency shows that global data center electricity usage has almost doubled since 2020 and is projected to double again.

Safe to assume ejections will fall off dramatically. I remember Lou Pinella being thrown out of Wrigley Field because a runner was called out at 3rd base a few years before challenges. Pinella was wrong and in another world he would have simply challenged the call rather than kicking dirt at the ump. Wilson Contreras got thrown out a few weeks back for theatrics after a ball / strike call.

The last frontier of ejections will probably be discretion when players get plunked at the plate.

Great post mc32 (I hope you're a Wayne Kramer fan!)

This private-public tyranny that's going on right now. The FCC can't directly tell Kimmel, "you can't say that" they can say, "you may have violated this or this technical rule which..." This is how Project 2025 will play out in terms of people's real experience. You occupy all posts with ideologically sympathetic players and the liberality people are used to becomes ruinous as, "the watchers" are now, "watching for you." The irony is that most conservatives believe this is just, "what the left was doing in the 2010's in reverse" and I don't have a counterargument for this other than, "it doesn't matter; it's always bad and unethical." Real differences between Colbert and Tate taken for granted.

> No ones like programming that much. That's like saying someone love speaking English. You have an idea and you express it.

I can assure you both kinds of people exist. Expressing ideas as words or code is not a one-way flow if you care enough to slow down and look closely. Words/clauses and data structures/algorithms exert their own pull on ideas and can make you think about associated and analogous ideas, alternative ways you could express your solution, whether it is even worth solving explicitly and independently of a more general problem, etc.

This is extremely common. There's a vanishingly small number of games that officially support the Steam Deck that do NOT unofficially run on any given Linux box. That small number seems to be exclusively gacha games. A number of those can be made to run by setting `SteamDeck=1 %command%` as the launch command.

Anyways, BG3 runs perfectly fine, natively, on my Ubuntu 25.04 RTX 4090 rig.
by verandaguy | 2025-09-24 01:36:55+00:00
I don't want to be one of those unbearable apologists in forum threads... but BG3's legitimately my favourite game, and IMO Larian have been excellent stewards, so I'll go up to bat for them here; have you played the newer patches?

For the first few months, act 3 (in the city) was legitimately hard to play. Performance, stability, visual glitches, all pervasive. But later patches did do a better job of improving those points.

Act 3's still the most intensive part of the game by far so on many setups it's still wise to at least crank down the crowd density, but it's come a long way since the launch version of the game.

Ruby became popular mainly because of Rails, which has gone down somewhat in popularity in recent years. That may be why Ruby is less popular now than it was 10 years ago. Also, they (Ruby and Rails) got popular much before 10 years ago, like around 2006 / 2007, when the Web 2.0 wave was starting. I had worked on a couple of dot-com projects in Ruby on Rails at that time, that is how I know.

For anyone at GitHub looking at this thread: please update your documentation page about how to report abuse (https://docs.github.com/en/communities/maintaining-your-safe...). I tried to follow the instructions, but I ran into a bunch of dead ends that slowed me down - I couldn't find the report abuse buttons for issues, comments, or repositories, only for the user profile page. I'm on Chrome on a Mac laptop, logged into GitHub.

Also, on the report abuse page that I got to from the user profile page, the green submit button is nearly hidden by the grey footer, even when I scroll the page around and complete the captcha.

While I do agree "most people are not anti-vax", the rates of opting out of vaccines or doing delayed schedules or being very selective have gone way up.

Some of these public school districts in Texas have >10% of students objecting to vaccines. My kids are effectively surrounded by unvaccinated kids whenever they go out in public. There's a 1 in 10 chance that kid on the playground has never had a vaccine, and that rate is increasing.

A lot of the families I know actively having kids are pretty crunchy and are at least vaccine hesitant if not outright anti-vax.

Happy Nextcloud Memories user here. It does everything that Google Photos does (the good parts). The Nextcloud server is running on Hetzner, with Wasabi block storage. There's an Android app. I can make albums, edit photos, edit metadata, view RAW files, videos, etc.

It can geotag, you can install the separate Recognize app to have a local model recognize faces, which it does quite well.

I can also, if I wish, just look at the files.

It's not even about sleep anymore. That was what f.lux's intent was back when the research first came out, but now it's been morphed by people trying to sell these glasses into "blue light is harmful". They talk about it like your eyes are getting damaged by blue light. Or that it's defending against eye strain caused by blue light rather than just overall luminance.

Valve provides a common runtime/build environment for Linux devs in the form of the Steam Linux Runtime. There is version 1 (Scout), which uses an LD_PRELOAD system. There is version 2 (Soldier), which uses cgroups (podman) and is deprecated. Then, there is version 3 (Sniper), which is the current target.

As of right now, proton and proton-ge both build in and require Steam Runtime Version 3 to run in. The steam client itself is running in a runtime, and I think it is the scout runtime, so LD_PRELOAD based. This means that steam has its own common platform to "deploy" against, and all Linux native games have a common platform to deploy against.

It used to be that games had to be compiled in a chroot for Steam runtime 1.0, but now with Steam runtime 3.0, developers are heavily recommended to build their game in a "OCI-based container framework"—so podman basically—and enable the Steam Runtime 3.0 on steam. I know that TF2 and Dota 2 use steam runtime 3.0, and apparently so does Retroarch. Of course, since there is a podman/docker image, you can also test existing games to see if they run in the runtime too.

You can find a lot of more information about the steam runtime 3.0 here: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/sniper/sdk

Valve has a gitlab with lots of great docs for developers who want to publish a linux native game.

I think all native linux games will run in the Scout 1.0 runtime by default

Edit: I will say that as an end-user, running an up-to-date Linux kernel and Mesa stack is important for gaming. I know some people who run Mint and are surprised that their Radeon RX 9060 runs like ass. As long as you aren't using a Debian based LTS distro, like mint or ubuntu lts, or you are running those distro but get a newer kernel, you should be fine. This matters less for older hardware, but having a newer kernel and especially a newer mesa version is important.

No. You are objectively wrong. It's great medicine that works -- for example, in Germany, and in the US, and elsewhere, it has stemmed the flow of violent extremism historically to stop the KKK and the Nazis. You can't even become a citizen if you have been a Nazi. Even on the small scale, like reddit, banning /r/fatpeoplehate was originally subject to much handwringing and weeping by the so-called free speech absolutists, but guess what -- it all went away, and the edgelords and bullies went back to 4chan to sulk, resulting in the bullshit not being normalized and made part of polite society.

If you want to live in a society where absolutely anything goes at all times, then could I recommend Somalia?

Well, I agree that Forth is concatenative (like stack languages in general), and so are shell pipelines.

But you said, "Just because you don't specifically use forth does not mean forth is dead," and unless I misread your intent, you included your shell-scripting point on the theory that it was relevant to that question: whether or not Forth was dead. The implication seemed to be that, as long as people were using shell pipelines, Forth wouldn't be dead. But that's wrong; Forth could be totally dead while other forms of concatenative programming were alive and well.

>My limited testing seems to show LLM assistants do well the more popular the language is (more data in its training), so is the hurdle for adoption of something new going to get even higher

Not only that they also tend to answer using the the more popular languages or tool event when it is NOT necessary. And when you call it out on it, it will respond with something like:

"you are absolutely right, this is not necessary and potentially confusing. Let me provide you with a cleaner, more appropriate setup...."

Why doesn't it just respond that the first time? And the code it provided works, but very convoluted. if wasn't checked carefully by an experienced dev person to ask the right question one would never get the second answer, and then that vibe code will just end up in git repo and deployed all over the place.

Got the feeling some big corp may just paid some money to have their plugin/code to on the first answer even when it is NOT necessary.

This could be very problematic, I'm sure people in advertising are just all licking their chops on how they can capitalized on that. If one thing currently ad industry is bad, wait until that is infused into all the models.

We really need ways to

1. Train our own models in the open, with weight and the data it is trained on. Kinda like the reproducible built process that Nix is doing for building repos.

2. Ways to debug the model on inference time. The <think> tag is great, and I suspect not everything is transparent in that process.

Is there something equivalent of formal verification for model inference?

What we are missing is a sponsorship model that is able to fun this kind of thing. It's not infeasible - look at university grants dispersement as an example of the overwrought predecessor of this. A ton of money moves through such institutions, and funds a lot of interesting projects.

One thing I've been envisioning is something like a "certified B corporation" style qualification that companies can get that indicates they contribute financially back to open source commensurate to the amount of it they consume to run their core business. If everything you do runs through open source software, in a moral sense, one can make the argument that you owe something back to it.

Legalized, league-approved sport betting is new-ish (2018). And sports betting has grown 25x since then.

Not sure if I agree with OPs take though. It might just be that baseball is a traditional, conservative game and they are hesitant to change it. maybe that's why they're just using robo umps for challenges, and not for every pitch, which would be easy to do and would further the all-about-betting theory.

> Being a realist

Factually incorrect. "The only right of the physical world is might." is not a realist statement, because being a realist is when you look at the factual truth of the world - it's a cynical worldview, which is non-truthful and therefore non-realist, by definition.

It's always entertaining to watch evil people try to justify their actions and (lack of) morality.

Maybe they can’t technically separate what’s what, or choose to do this, but if Chat Control passes then essentially all of Swiss messaging (and Liechtenstein’s) gets to be overseen too.

Maintainers could also use that to distrupt things in the same way, to be fair.

A two-key-rule system would be neat. A repo can be in an org, but some big changes (removing/adding a maintainer, moving a repo, renaming an org, etc) need to have x of total maintainer accounts click an approve button within a few days of each other. Making big changes slow and tedious feels ideal when we're talking about the countless lifehours sunk into a project by maintainers, that's funded and supported by a company. Both of those parties benefit from cooling off periods and being a bit obstinant to eachother... without being able to slit eachothers throats.

Overall this seems good to me, esp. since it’s limited to 2x a game, leaving space for framing and other human elements to the calling, like make up calls, which I generally think are good.

That said. Strike zone height is between 53.5% and 23% of a player’s height. WTFBBQ. That’s a major change, and I don’t understand how it’s going to go with an Ump’s calling the zone — right now a player’s stance can affect the zone height. How will umps assess 53.5% of a player’s height realtime?

In this part of the article:

> That was then. Now, I wouldn't dream of it. London is no longer the city I was infatuated with in the late '90s and early 2000s. Chiefly because it's no longer full of native Brits. In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third. A statistic as evident as day when you walk the streets of London now.

the "no longer full of native Brits" is a link to an article on the ethnic makeup of London. The cite only makes sense as support for his argument if he means white native Brits.
