Surprisingly stadia actually works pretty well with a few caveats. Primarily hardwired and using chromecast. I have a subscription, but i'm at the point of cancelling because my original intent was gaming when traveling, now we've been home so long I just use PC / Consoles.

The problem here is that Luna is going to soft launch with all the features + that Stadia was to launch with (but has yet to deliver). If they succeed, Stadia is going to be in a weird situation. The power of Twitch shouldn't be underestimated and it steals the thunder of the killer feature w/ was youtube advertised.

It looks like another Half Baked Google product thats going to be crushed by competition.
I also like GeForce Now a lot. Works great with Gigabit Fiber.

Can't wait for them to upgrade their servers to Ampere GPUs.

Another game streaming experience: I sideloaded the XBox Game Pass app on Nvidia Shield TV Pro and stream the xCloud games that way. Input lag feels acceptable in this unsupported environment.
> they are gullible , so bad people can trick them to ignore OS security warnings
> For me if I intersect all this sets of users I get void

I work at a pretty big company, where we are trusted to make a lot of important decisions but as I understand it even small companies have trainings to identify "phishing, clickbait, social engineering, etc". Every relatively big company also pre-approves devices that can connected and access the internal network. Installing software needs to be pre-approved. Even my browser Firefox or Chrome settings are pre-selected to ensure no compromising behavior can occur.

I know from past-experience, friends and colleagues that my current company is not unique. Because all humans (even the smartest sets) are gullible, it just depends how time constrained, sleep deprived or drunk they are.

Additionally, preventative protections on devices are used often even in personal contexts. When I help my mom set up her computer I pre-install everything and she doesn't have the admin password. This is the general recommendation for and by anyone helping someone under-educated about technology and abuse vectors. I've asked if she would rather me teach her and she just prefers using the computer without worry. Neither her, not this situation is unique.

That said, I have previously and do agree, Apple should make it easier to boot non-iOS iPhones. However, Apple should only provide that to the registered adult owner of the device, in person at an Apple store after delivering the caveats that the device will no longer be supported by Apple (regardless of resale) and any warranty is void.
Why do criminals do crimes?

If you want to break the law and you happen to be a SWE, I don't think it makes much difference.
Determining how discourse occurs, its rules and the dividing line correct and incorrect speech is built in to the democratic process, not some holy "rules of the game" handed down by God. Your misguided understanding of "liberal consensus" is actually a fundamentally authoritarian position, a doctrinal decree about what can and cannot be discussed.

The irony of course is that the "experiments with official truth in the 20th century" in the US were often defended on the grounds of protecting "liberal consensus" from opposing viewpoints. See the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals statement of principles, the trade group responsible for the Hollywood Blacklist:

"We believe in, and like, the American way of life: the liberty and freedom which generations before us have fought to create and preserve; the freedom to speak, to think, to live, to worship, to work, and to govern ourselves as individuals, as free men; the right to succeed or fail as free men, according to the measure of our ability and our strength.

Believing in these things, we find ourselves in sharp revolt against a rising tide of communism, fascism, and kindred beliefs, that seek by subversive means to undermine and change this way of life; groups that have forfeited their right to exist in this country of ours, because they seek to achieve their change by means other than the vested procedure of the ballot and to deny the right of the majority opinion of the people to rule."
If it’s a “””dealbreaker””” then you’re not okay with it.

If it’s not a dealbreaker then you’re okay with it.

How many different ways do you want to twist this?

If any of this mattered to anyone outside this echo chamber then Apple wouldn’t constantly come at #1 in customer surveys.
$430 every month doesn't go very far in SK and all that for only half the budget each year...

>"We cannot get to 500,000 won a month right now," Lee said. "But we can get there in 15 to 20 years by bolstering taxes on land, which is a public asset, carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, and digital services developed using data we have produced."

Oh well just tax until you can afford it right? That won't have any secondary effects.

The article doesnt take a serious approach to analyzing the reality of these proposals and instead wants to push them as if they're realistic without mentioning the cost of living or anything else.
How do they learn the sound cues? Electric shocks?
I thought the productivity data was interesting but then it stopped right after hack week... Definitely agree, the long term implications are a lot more interesting.
Our data is binary with a complex format (protobuf). We have custom logic to merge these data points. I guess this would not be covered by the license then
I tried OnLive, LiquidSky and GeForce Now.

Cloud gaming when done right is amazing.

OnLive was nothing short of magic in ~2010-2011: quite smooth, easy-to-use, decent library of games (for their time).

LiquidSky (in limbo/defunct for the past 3-4 years) was actual magic: you could play any game from your regular Steam library, and it would be streamed to you. No "your game doesn't support our service yet".

GeForce Now is sorta decent, but suffered (and probably still suffers) from connection issues, long wait times, clunky library selection and installation process etc.

Latency is really only an issue for fast paced action games (FPS, bullet-hell twin-stick shooters, precision platforming). So you need to be really close to a datacenter with a good line to it to not "suffer" (for some definition of "suffer"). I played Batman Arkham <something> on OnLive and a friend of mine played DOOM beta on LiquidSky, and we were both more than satisfied.
As someone who has worked mostly in a consulting context, "Fun projects ONLY" is... interesting
Living papers are useful vision, but it will take a long way to get there.

Even notebooks still are problematic, for example, this study found that only 25% of Jupyter notebooks could be executed, and of those, only 4% actually reproduced the same results.

http://www.ic.uff.br/~leomurta/papers/pimentel2019a.pdf

One compromise is to evaluate the paper separate from it's artifacts, which are reviewed for availability, reproducibility, and reusability. In software engineering conferences, this is becoming a standard, and while there is a huge burden for reviewers to evaluate these things, I think it does take us in the right direction. So in this case, we also submitted our paper for evaluation for its artifacts.
> Just to be clear, my point was that reasonable people can disagree on these issues. Do you think that reasonable people can disagree on these issues or not?

About immigration laws, yes. About civil rights, no.

> Medical care. I read this article[2], and my reading of it is that ICE generally provides decent care with the exceptions noted in the report/article. These stories seem to be most similar to the stories we heard coming out of the VA hospitals a few years ago - aka due to large government orgs being incompetent not evil.

I wasn't accusing them of being evil. Your original point was that people should keep politics out of business on grey issues. The Trump administration has moved this from a grey issue where good people could look the other way on incompetence-related failures to a black-and-white issue where it's tough to tell where the incompetence ends and the malice begins.

Since the government is incapable of doing anything useful right now, it shouldn't be that surprising when people with a voice seek redress in the areas they have power. Corporations are at zenith of their power and influence right now, so it follows that people would take advantage of that.
Management definitely gets a say in the actions of the company. So why not other employees, too?
And an often passed over part of the Protestant Reformation is that it was fueled by rabid anti-Semitism and scapegoating. Martin Luther wrote a 65,000 word treatise called “On the Jews and their Lies” that’s widely considered to have been the basis for Nazi ideology:

Definitely not an ML person perspective:

One type of recommendation system is user-user recommendation, so it is taking stuff you've (A) looked at, comparing it to what other's have seen (B), then trying to find what from A that B might like from weighting features of each possible item to find the item that person might like most (and therefore, do the action you want them to: view, buy, etc)

So if you view Video 1 (action), Video 3 (action) and Video 4 (comedy).

And someone else views Video 4 (comedy), Video 2 (comedy) and Video 3 (action).

If we are only using genre as a feature, the system would want to recommend you Video 2 (a comedy you haven't seen) and it would recommend the other user Video 1 (an action video they haven't seen).

Your system is introducing new features that could be useful.

In my opinion, the reason why recommendation systems suck is either people learning how to game it and therefore have their stuff recommended when their item shouldn't be, the system not having enough data or the system just not being great at figuring out what you like due to bad weights.

EDIT: Fully re-reading this post, it seems my post is a bit off-topic.

With that said, ML is not a dirty word or has to be some magical thing. It is applying stats to a large dataset. It's not anything fancy nor does it have to use the new shiny thing.

ML can be as simple as: go through this list of users and videos, given these weights, what videos would each user likely like most?
Sounds great thank you.

Are there any docs on non-k8s setups? Maybe with docker-compose?
Except while I have my PS3 with Resistance installed I can play Resistance as much as I want. Sony is not going to come to my house and take it away.

Google be like "we decided to close it down, bye"
Oh, OK. Good idea, then. (I was just interested for pranks.)
Yeah, I tried it back when there was a free trial. For what it was, it was pretty impressive to be able to just start playing the game without installing anything. That being said the experience is just plain worse than playing locally. Resolution/graphics quality was worse, input lag was definitely present, and other limitations like lack of crossplay. It's got its niche but I probably won't use it again.
Can't comment on Stadia, but my Unifi UDM and WiFi routers weren't good enough for reliable game streaming. Had to go wired. With Gigabit Fiber (Centurylink in my case) it works extremely well on several cloud game streaming services.
At my previous company, I worked on high impact, very low visibility work. I was working directly with operations teams around the world in order to enable features that needed to be tweaked globally. It was vital for teams in their specific geography to work properly, but no one beyond those teams and my direct manager understood what I was doing. I enjoyed it because it was literally enabling functionality across countries around the world which was great for our customers and our company.

During that time, the team around me dissolved due to severe attrition, leaving a skeleton crew of developers and I was the last remaining developer working on this specific project. During performance review time, I was told I wasn't performing at an adequate level because the number of code reviews I performed was very low. When I pointed out that I was the only person on my team, so no one came to me for code reviews their response was that I should have sought out code to review on my own.

I quit soon after.
What problem is this solving? Is a fence too expensive?
I was very skeptical about Stadia until a friend made me try it so we could play Destiny together.

Totally blew me away. I still can't believe I'm streaming a fast paced shooter game in multiplayer and it works without a hitch.
Money! And they think they are smarter than those who failed
For all the hate Google gets this seems pretty reasonable. In fact, I thought they already did this. AFAIK, most email services do the same.
> I'd like to see that argument, if you put it next to racism in the US. Racism towards Turks in Germany might be a slur on the school yard (which, I can assure you, was much more commonly used by Turkish kids), not slavery, Jim Crow and segregation.

Sure, I haven't pretended the two countries had exactly the same social and political environments. The respective outcomes for the different minorities aren't exactly the same either.

I'm not even sure what your argument is now: you appeared to be questioning the existence of systematic racism in the US, and yet are now insisting it was extremely bad. If your claim is instead that systematic racism was extremely bad but actually had no discernible effect, that's pretty extraordinary.

Though perhaps not as extraordinary as you choosing to support that with the claim that ---checks notes--- mid twentieth century Germany is a good counter example of a society where migrants didn't encounter any adult racists. Surely you're just trolling for Godwin's Law there.

> If racism isn't the great explanation, other explanations need to be looked at. You chose to neglect the fact that African Americans are not at all similar in the outcomes, even though they're all experiencing racism in the US, and were, by and large, always treated as a singular group.

I'm not sure the fact some African Americans do better than others in any way detracts from the argument that systematic racism is a thing which negatively affects the group. Not all outcomes of shootings are the same; this is not evidence bullets cause no harm. We can look at as many complementary explanations for ethnic minority underperformance as you like, and it's not going to remotely undermine the OP's claim that racism has an effect.
Games and sports are usually their own artificial sub-context with intentional limitations and scarcity of items, rather than following the real-world market and having item cost being based on time to develop.

For example it's obvious that you could produce Pikachu Illustrator cards (https://i.imgur.com/Q9kUFq8.png) for far less than the $200,000 one sold for. Or create a new card with arbitrarily high stats.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect regular market rules to apply to a game, or vice versa.
There are worse things than can happen with bad wrote code other than security bugs. It doesn’t have to necessarily be exposed to the internet or users/attackers for bad things to happen. I truly believe that people just forgot this little fact.

Again, I don’t discourage people from preventing UD, but, again, it’s not a big deal. Especially is not something to be afraid of.

My code is as much as correct, verified, analyzed and tested as possible, and most of the times compliant with the most absurd certifications. Again, I still have to find a bug or fail a test because some strange UD.
To show good faith, I will wholeheartedly agree that allowing Netflix and Spotify but not allowing xCloud, Stadia, Facebook Gaming, and now presumably Luna will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, moreso than Epic et al. There is no practical distinction between streaming video frames of The Witcher from Netflix and The Witcher 3 from xCloud.

Edit: Genuine question. Is it common for any mix-use store, physical or digital, to have hardcore pornography available?
MStream outperforms scikit-learn algorithms in anomaly detection
It's very lucrative and the competition is pretty inept so expectations are low. You can retire to thailand off the residuals. If you're a 20 year old who isn't looking forward to decades of corporate work that might not sound bad.
I am not the original poster, but I think the problem is "official theory" implies that a theory from experts is one to be skeptical of. When I was a kid, lots of people had bumper stickers that said "Question Authority." That makes sense in a free society. But we have learned that in matters of public safety, everyone coming up with their own idea of what is safe and healthy is probably not as good of an idea as everyone doing what experts recommend, even knowing that the experts or the consensus is sometimes wrong or partly wrong.

People ask me, if there is a vaccine for COVID-19 would you take it right away, or wait, or not take it? My answer is that I am going to do what my doctor recommends. I still question authority. But I have learned that there are limits to my knowledge and judgement that aren't always obvious to me.
It seems like if a source you expect to be trustworthy asks if there has been a cover up of something you have never heard of, the fact that you have never heard of it is a prior for there being a cover up!
What IS a "representative" cryptocurrency, then, if the #2 by market cap is not representative?

Would it be Bitcoin, used for such time-honored business as drug purchases and hiring contract killers? Would it be Tether, the fiat currency for people who think that central banks are excessively transparent?

The one extra element that Ethereum brings to the table is computationally much more powerful contracts, which makes it technically intriguing, but also adds another level of scammyness and incompetence to the enterprise.
> In Chinese you really do have a fighting Chinese of reading a word out loud that contains never by you seen before characters.

Not really. Sometimes you can guess the root without the tone, but you won’t get the tone itself, and so you can’t really claim to recognize the word. Tones are not optional in Chinese.
Dentist here, in terms of replacing root canals.
The technique described in the paper would not replace the nerves and blood vessels in the root canal system.

It just shows a new method for sealing off the root canal system - via a blood clot.

Unfortunately you would still need to have the root canal treatment - just the sealing may be slightly quicker with this method.

The quality obturation (apical seal) doesn’t really effect the clinical outcome o of root canal so unlikely will mean better outcomes either.
Then it seems the rational thing for you to do is to buy hardware that allows arbitrary software to be run
> To the extent that people find the lock in useful, I expect they would install that software package.

Deep down I would guess that most people will still object on consequentialist grounds, because they know that not enough people will opt in unless forced, and so vendors will be able to ignore the walled garden. Apple sure as hell wouldn't be able to take 30% if there were other ways onto the iPhone, as big vendors would avoid it, thus requiring most users to give up the safe walled garden.

I still come out strongly against Apple on this one however as I am not a consequentialist.
I believe this policy was first implemented on shared files:
"Files in shared drives trash are already automatically deleted after 30 days."
> Since 2011, Google has imposed illegal restrictions on Android device manufacturers and mobile network operators to cement its dominant position in general internet search.

> In particular, Google:

> - has required manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search app and browser app (Chrome), as a condition for licensing Google's app store (the Play Store);

> - made payments to certain large manufacturers and mobile network operators on condition that they exclusively pre-installed the Google Search app on their devices; and

> - has prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google (so-called "Android forks").

None of this describes anything Apple does. I don't think this ruling means what you think it means. It's talking about the _combination_ of search engine, licensing the OS to hardware vendors, _and_ the Google app store. None of those on their own led to this ruling.

It's all about how Google controls the licensing of Android, by controlling hardware vendor's licensing of other flavors of Android. (edit to add: and how this all feeds back into their search engine dominance. That is another point the linked document repeats on multiple occasions.)

> As a licensable operating system, Android is different from operating systems exclusively used by vertically integrated developers (like Apple iOS or Blackberry). Those are not part of the same market because they are not available for licence by third party device manufacturers.
"Diversity is good."

No.

Diversity has benefits and costs - it is neither good nor bad.

People, or groups of people in a democracy, need to decide what level of diversity they would like to pursue.

Personally, as someone who can live anywhere, I've chosen (and continue to choose) a very diverse place (the United States - specifically California).

I like living with people who invent jazz music and snowboarding and the Internet and I am willing to pay costs like some decreased degree of social cohesion and trust.

Other people, or groups, might have a different cost/benefit analysis and that is not wrong - nor is it wrong to pursue those aims democratically.
I view that the core issue is that democracy and many modern institutions as they exist today are hopelessly ill-equipped to deal with the reality where billions of people are connected. We live in a world of interconnected differences. Existing social and cultural norms basically compel us to synchronize everyone in the network to the same instance of truth, and this simply doesn't work anymore.

We are already seeing huge increases in support for things like systems thinking, ecological worldview, decentralization, holism, etc. The future is pluralistic and that's okay.
How much engineering does Google do to make sure F-droid or Amazon App Store works android? I would be surprised if it's very much.
I absolutely resent the implication that protecting the bottom n% of gullible users is mutually exclusive with giving power users the access they desire. they seem to do a decent job of it on their OSX machines, so why not iOS?
Ternary Principle, Number System and Ternary Mirror-Symmetrical Arithmetic
Since lockdown started, we switched to 3-Ps - everyone post 3 micro tasks they are working on today on a team discord channel before the meeting starts, at 9 we all hop on a team call and go over all the 3ps.

short and sweet.

and gives enough insight for people to ask for help or just get a feeling of progress...

tricky sometime not to list macro tasks, which takes more than a day to complete. but other than that. its also nice to force every on to think about and commit to a few small things they want to work on for the day.
Dang, educate yourself on Facebook’s effect in Myanmar.

If you think this is just political battles, perhaps do a bit of self reflection and maybe Hacker News is not the pinnacle of intellectual thought you are giving it the credit of being.
Most definitely a lot more than a regular software engineer. Alexandre Cazes was estimated to have a net worth of at least USD 23 mil, and that's a conservative estimate. This would all be in cryptocurrencies of course and you would have to find a way to money launder these assets.
Another thing to consider is that many of these guys live in countries with cost of living much cheaper than USA (not even talking about Bay Area), Cazes himself was living in Thailand.
