Rare? Depends on what you play. Overwatch, cod, and destiny are terrible for this. Happens to me several times, per 10 minute game. Csgo is the best in my experience.

Trading kills can theoretically happen, but it's like lightning. If it's happening a lot there's something wrong. My guess is the fuzzy calculations in the earlier mentioned games err on the side of killing everyone.
You need both to play at launch. Seems more like an early adopter tax - they could have just provided an update to the existing Chromecast Ultra and let you use a Bluetooth controller.

Heck, I'd shell out the $130 if was in the form of prepaid credit or something else. I don't want 2 more devices - and I'm not interested in playing on my TV.
> The US justice system is possibly the most cruel justice system in the West, and by quite a margin, too.

Many of the world's most dangerous countries and most brutal justice systems are in Latin America. The US looks bad from a northern European perspective, but it's far from the worst in the West.

Interesting idea. I think it would be more practical if they had parking garages on the edge where folks could still drive places if needed. I'd be happy to use my car much less and be able to walk to everywhere I needed to go normally in the neighborhood. Add in pets and children, and having the ability to use a car whenever becomes a lot more convenient.
Fighting games are highly latency-sensitive, to the extent that many fighting game tournaments are played on CRTs (because image processing on flatscreen TVs introduces additional frames of latency). They're practically a worst case for a streaming video game service.
Good luck finding public WiFi with sufficient bandwidth and latency to let you play Stadia out and about...
> The only part that stumps me is why you need pay $130 for a controller and a Chromecast with "special" software on it. Isn't the whole premise that you don't need dedicated hardware to play games?

That is for the premier founders edition. The free one is coming next year [0].

I don't think git uses copy_file_range yet (at least I can't find it looking through its source), so it'll make expensive copies for each worktree.

And he said even deleting the diffs in an overlay is too expensive, which normally should be cheaper than deleting a worktree.

My brush with AI snake oil:

I interviewed at a startup that seemed fishy. They offer a fully AI powered customer service chat as an off the shelf black box to banks. I highly suspect that they were a pseudo AI setup. LinkedIn shows that they are light on developers but very heavy on “trainers”, probably the people who actually handle the customers, mostly young graduates in unrelated fields, who may believe that their interactions will be the necessary data to build a real AI.

I doubt that AI will ever be built, it's just a glorified Mechanical Turk help-desk. I guess the banks will keep it going as long as they see near human level outputs.
Did you do anything around securing the code? I always worried that it would be fairly trivial to reverse engineer any game I tried to charge for and distribute via the web.

That's a ton of downloads, and an abundant source of data from international users going directly to the hands of the Chinese government.
So there's 抖音 and TikTok. They have completely seperate databases and installers (unlike WeChat). On IOS, if you are geolocated (or maybe it's locale restricted?) in the Chinese market then you can only download 抖音。If you are located in the international regions, then you will only find TikTok.

Since there is no Google Play Store in China, you will only find TikTok there [in the Play Store]. To install 抖音 you simply download the apk from their website and side-load it.

Since the article states

> TikTok has hit 1.5 billion total downloads across the App Store and Google Play

I believe that IOS has around 13% market share in China. So this is missing out on A LOT of downloads.

Then again it's hard to believe that there are 1.5 billion downloads for tiktok (ios + android) and 抖音(just ios).
Then that must mean that it's not counting 抖音 downloads on Android.
That's one way. Or someone could have him launch a bunch of telescopes into orbit.
Why do I want to end this statement with “what could possibly go wrong ?”

If I get Stadia and want to keep playing my game in 4k a year from now, I have to sign on to a monthly fee.

This past weekend I played Outlaw on my Atari 2600. Assuming I paid $40 when it came out, that means I paid 8¢/month for that game.

Talk about value!

Cool, they'll probably just park down the street, shifting the burden to other people and infrastructure. Another externality the developers can exploit...
I worked in lab EHR software and can say this is the correct answer. Lab pricing is particularly complex and is not like buying a hammer or a pedicure.

There was a separate billing module that calculated pricing for individual procedures based on a number of factors, such as insurance provider, diagnosis codes, performing lab, urgency, etc. along with a whole set of separate rules for medicare/medicaid patients. Even the timing of drawing blood (relative to other procedures) was factored in for insurers.

Transparency isn't going to help much here when the problem is the complexity created by multiple payers.
Podcast: How to Read Source Code
People are upset because the dream of WikiLeaks was that it would would help to produce a better, more open, just world. This was the thesis that Assange himself put forward [0].

But that didn’t happen. Instead, it seems likely that closed and secretive intelligence agencies were able to effortlessly repurpose WikiLeaks into a weapon for pursuing the foreign policy of an unjust government. That isn’t a crime necessarily. It just completely undermines the core argument that Assange and Wikileaks made for the organization’s existence.

If your argument is that an organization like WikiLeaks fundamentally has no choice but to allow itself to be misused in this way, then I think it’s reasonable to ask why we need such an organization in our world.

> not all physicians are as on top of new treatment options as we expect.

I thought this was called pharma marketing. I don't think this should be abolished - I only meant direct-to-consumer advertising. Although I've seen someone else argue that doctors should be required to undergo continuing education instead.

I'd like to see numbers on how often an ad is how the patient learns they have a disease. I imagine that anyone with really annoying or debilitating symptoms would research them online from time to time.
Remember 5-ish years ago when IBM's marketing department was hawking their machine learning and information retrieval products as AI, and everyone in the world rolled their eyes so hard we had to add another leap second to the calendar to account for the the resulting change in the earth's rotation?

I did edit to elaborate where I thought there was ambiguity.

Yes, I agree, if ASCAP, ICE_CS laid claim to the GP's work, then that needs to be fixed. I would suggest any money paid to ASCAP, ICE_CS for that video be returned to the GP, with interest paid by ASCAP, ICE_CS and perhaps some punitive damages so they don't make the same "mistake" again.

To be fair, or give the benefit of the doubt, this could be a Hanlon's Razor scenario where ASCAP, ICE_CS just doesn't understand how to do it right. Or they could be too heavy handed in which case the punitive damages should soften their hand.

I've ran into this issue maybe twice in years and I'm always using that for websites. I'm having a feeling that issue is a bit overblown.
> if it requires advertising it is probably fake, if it is very quiet and successful it is likely genuine.

This is true of almost any product being offered for sale. Good advice.
> You’re questioning, and implicitly criticizing, these workers for exercising their access to free speech, for complaining about an aspect of their employer’s position about their country of origin

Why is this relevant? By that definition, any time you criticize anything someone says you are criticizing them for using free speech.

There is a big difference between “I disagree with what you’re saying” and “you shouldn’t be allowed to say it”. As far as I can tell, he isn’t even hinting at the latter.

Frequency and complexity are not mutually exclusive. The pricing structure reflects the diverse system of payers (insurance companies) and has time-based complexity (i.e. bundling) that prevents payment cost structure from being calculated up front.
Sunray might have failed but there were tons of companies who used Windows thin client machines successfully...Oracle/Larry Ellison made a big deal about it.

Curious when other AGs will join.
Latency is of course the biggest concern. Recent videos I saw do not indicate they have a good solution to latency. I'd absolutely love if they used some sort of 'asynchronous reprojection' like you see in VR.

Essentially, send a depth buffer along with video data, and let the client reproject frames before it gets the next keyframe from the server. It can help solve input lag for movement and turning. Not so much for things like shooting.
> It stops passive eavesdropping.

Do you know why Tor exists? Because things like DoH don't stop passive eavesdropping, and DoH in particular only leaks information to more parties, without stopping any eavesdropping whatsoever. I guess it's easy to confuse, thinking that DNS is some private data, but DNS is not even data, it's metadata and other sources of metadata leak much more information than DNS and let build much more detailed profile on you. For example, almost all of the top million websites are uniquely identifiable just by looking at IP addressed in IP packets, as page loads force browsers to make requests to many different IPs and give sort of fingerprints of visits. Nothing short from decentralized overlay network can help with that.

> DoT and even unencrypted DNS is blocked on a lot of free WiFi. Now what? DoH solves this issue, as it was designed to.

No, it was not designed to solve that issue. It was designed to tunnel and control DNS traffic by a corporation. Mozilla eventually agreed to provide a convenient way to block DoH as well as DoH providers agreed to be blockable. So you should expect DoH to be equally or even more blocked everywhere, where DoT is blocked.

You know there are plenty of papers on privacy. No need to repeat all that false propaganda from corporations.
Indeed! As she was applying for residency programs, my wife briefly entertained the thought of becoming a radiologist because boy, they made a load of money for 8am-2pm work! We both are 100% self-aware that healthcare industry has a lot of bad actors including doctors, pharma companies, hospital admins, lawyers and pretty much everyone involved.

If residents cry about 60+ hours/week of work during the first year residency, I don't pity them much. First of all, the hours aren't really that bad even for a hospital in metro NY area (speaking from my wife's residency experience so far). In our home country, residents have it worse; my wife had night float EVERY THREE DAYS over there. In the US, it's at most four times a month! Second of all, the "grueling hours" are for the first year of residency (in fact, during those hours, there's not much happening especially in night floats, so you can get decent sleep) and after that, things got much, much better. Sacrificing just one year and paying exorbitant exam/school fees--in the region of ~$250K total--to make $250K as starting salary is TOTALLY WORTH it. If any of the doctors complain that they are debt-laden, they are either fiscally irresponsible or are simply exaggerating. They can repay $250K debt + interest in less than 5 years if they really want to. Of course, it's much easier to use these (debt and hours/years sacrificed) as excuses to justify their pay.

If the doctors are true and honest, they should be advocating AMA to relax the residency and medical school requirements. No more than five years total (no undergrad necessary) is needed to treat garden variety problems. Then each specialty/fellowship can take however long it needs to take. But AMA and its leechers (KAPLAN, ECFMG, USMLE, FSMB, etc.) won't allow that because they make loads of money from exam and preparation fees. Everything about healthcare is business now and whether it is good or bad depends on one's moral compass (and how strongly one feels about capitalism).

I think a bit more is needed.

Let's say it's 1990, and I'm in the market for a car. A Yugo costs a lot less than some other cars. But I'm getting a lot less for it, too - it's less reliable, won't last as long, and is less comfortable. But, as a car buyer, I can kind of tell that. It doesn't feel like it's as solid a car as some of the other options.

Now say I'm trying to have a hip replacement. Here's a place that costs 20% less than the other place. Sounds great, but... what are their rates of complications. How about if you go out 20 years? Without that kind of information, I can't compare on price, because I don't know whether I'm buying equivalent things.

OMG that reminded me! Someone sold me a cheap 50MB HD in the late 90s (it was probably full of dubiously obtained files or such). It would teeeechnically spin up, but my Amiga was pulling about 50KB per second off of it, and it made a grinding bearing sound. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I flipped it over and squirted a little 3-in-1 oil into the bearing.

RRRRNGNGNGGNGGGGGRRRRRRRRMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm.....

...as the grinding slowly morphed into the high pitched whine of a happy SCSI drive, and the drive transfer meter crept up to a reasonable 1MB per second. I got the files off of it with a quickness, then threw it away.

Yes, I have officially, in front of witnesses, sped up a computer by oiling it.

Hosting email is definitely a pain. You could do all the validations with DKIM , SPF , ARC etc. Its not helpful if the reputation score of the server is low.

I have been thinking about this for a while , there should be a way to decouple email server and storage into 2 different services, where I could authorize email server to grab the data from storage. The storage service itself should have zero knowledge encryption. This way, I could just switch between email services.

Stop the science training that demands ‘don’t ask’
This presentation categorized AI-related tech with social outcomes as fundamentally dubious, such as predicting criminal recidivism, predicting terrorist risk, or predictive policing. The rationals are that

(1) technically, the technology is far from perfect.

(2) Social outcomes like fairness are fundamentally difficult to state.

(3) Its inherent problem is amplified with the ethical/moral problems.

Of course many find it's unacceptable due to the ethical problems in a typical Western liberal democracy. But what if I'm an authoritarian who wants to find the tools of suppression, and I don't care the false positives or the ethical problems? Is it going to help my regime, or is it going to have the opposite effect?

I highly suspect that the answer is the former one. Fortunately, the technical limitations of "AI" means it's still more or less ineffective today, but it can only get better.

Therefore, I don't think AI with social outcomes are fundamentally dubious, but rather, fundamentally dangerous.
Depending on the game I could imagine that strategies to beat noobs wouldn't work well against pros, and strategies to beat pros would unnecessarily lengthen games against noobs. I suppose the AI could pretty quickly determine the skill level of the opponent though and adapt.
As I said, I'm an NLP researcher and practitioner, so you don't need to quote this at me.

The unsupervised aspect is the engine driving all modern NLP advancements. Your comment suggests that it is incidental, which is far from the case. Yes, it is often ultimately then used for a downstream supervised task, but it wouldn't work at all without unsupervised training.

Indeed, one of the biggest applications of deep NLP in recent times, machine translation, is (somewhat arguably) entirely unsupervised.

No child is evil. End of. Maybe they are troubled because their needs have not been met. Maybe in the case of special needs children their extra demands are too much for the parents. But they are not evil.

Trying to treat traumatised children by inflicting more trauma is like admitting a child to a hospital and beating them until they somehow get better.

I'm not saying its easy. I don't have a better solution. But there is nothing wrong with saying how screwed up it is. If a society can't provide what is needed for it's children why not come out and say that it's failed, as a whole, on basically its most important job?

And even if there's some assertion that an unknown someone owns something, _why_ should we respect it? Shouldn't we as a society just take it, and ask the owner to show himself if he minds? That seems a very reasonable solution to problems like tax paradises and shell companies if you ask me.
