Given that Alexa was launched publicly in 2014, perhaps it was responsible for the initial increase in popularity in 2015 by raising awareness of the name?

Having been on the inside of the project and directly involved in picking the name / wake word (which happened earlier than 2014), there were multiple considerations involved.

Particularly important was the functional requirement that the wake word chosen be able to support both high recognition rates and low false positives. We also did not want to have a "helper word" such as "hey" or "ok," as that would have required enforcing an unnatural speech pattern.
Especially if in new requirement, microservice A need to interact with service C which originally accessed via B. You can either:

* Make additional changes in B which also takes resources, times and introducing overhead + point of failure, or

* Make A interact directly with C which breaks the boundary
I think this is a little more notable because 1/2/3 do run on Mac (or era-appropriate macs, at least). This will (absent of future news) be the first in the franchise not to.
It's cool that this framework is getting some attention. In our college senior design project, we built a small prototype using this framework during a trade study. We got a few small UI fixes pushed upstream to the main repo. Our team even got to meet up with the maintainers for a few days as they were showing off the framework. It was one of the most interesting and unique software projects I've worked on.

The framework itself is portable allowing for code sharing across multiple missions and hardware setups. According to the devs, in the space industry, software is so mission specific and intertwined that it's rarely reused. FPrime's "modules" create hard barriers between sections of the program, something I have mixed feelings about. Finally the "module" system allows for a very easy to use concurrency model, which I think is one of the strengths of the framework. (Though, take these words with a grain of salt as I was and still am wildly underqualified in the domain of embedded systems)
This has been a feature ever since 69 I believe. I also believe that 71 introduced a setting to disable.

That's when I switched most of my devices to Firefox.
I think he goes out of his way to underpromise reliability and longevity, but the fact is that this will never make people less upset (and reasonably so, in my view) when the service goes down or loses data or disappears forever.

Compare it to a common sentiment I saw on HN recently, which is that selling a self-driving car kit is irresponsible even if you technically have some shrink wrap agreement that says “this isn’t a real product, use at your own risk.”

I don’t know where the line is in each case, but I think that there is some responsibility one takes on when one accepts money from the public for a product, and no amount of cute warnings makes that responsibility go away.

TBH I am again skeptical that there was a training that said this. I could buy if there were a training that explained that such behaviors could be construed as harassment under certain circumstances (e.g. if you had previously made advances and been turned down). I could buy if there were a training that told you you should think twice before doing these sorts of things. That's just sensible advice, since if someone does take your behavior as harassment and took the complaint to HR, then you're in a bad situation, at best. A training that banned you from doing those things? I doubt.
I switched to using a Kinesis Freestyle 2 with the tenting kit. It has made a big difference for me, a lot of the pain I was feeling when using other keyboards has gone away.

I am so intrigued by some of these minimalist keyboards. I tried to use a 60% keyboard but I found using the extra layers to be difficult to adjust to. On paper it sounds good, move your fingers less, just use a layer. But in practice it got old fast.

I never realized how often I needed to press the ` key until I started using a 60% keyboard.
It's a bit of paperwork, and telling everyone. And telling them again when they forget. And deciding if it's really worth updating your loyalty card that didn't need any documentation to set your name, but needs a notarized copy of an official certificate to change it.

Because different words have very different best potential performance characteristics when used as wake words.

We would have liked to enable fully custom wake words, but it would have led to bad user experiences with the device either failing to wake up too often (false negatives) or having too many false positives or both.

So we compromised by enabling more than one, but not full choice.

Do you and I live in different universes? The one I live in blamed FB for allowing 3rd partner apps to download loads of personal information, and then use it to send targeted adds to influence an election. Also, adds spreading misinformation about Covid 19. At the early part of FB, kids could upload pictures with their EXIF data that included GPS coordinates- which were then used for kidnapping or serial molestation.

With location tracking for adds, no one even needs a legitimate reason to buy location data. Thus can be used for thugs to track down and kill people they don't like.

Declaration: i hate uber and refuse to use them for myself, I've never run the app. I have nothing against the drivers who seem nice people. The company is a scofflaw, and sucks income and driver renumeration into a Californian VC suck hole.

I know the taxi industry was broken before Uber.

To me, this is a nail in the coffin of the gig economy. Its fundamentally flawed. It's bad, it marginalised people, killed people, and broke the law.
I fear that would be a cynical but possibly accurate take on it. However I must note I've seen people begging for this ever since D3 released.

I think Blizzard are well aware that there's plenty of us who have grown up with their core franchises, and are now at the age where nostalgia is an easy sell.

(Also interesting to note they have Future, Mobile and Nostalgia releases of the same franchise all on the near-future map. They're not going backwards, but they're certainly spreading out.)
Does anybody know what's going internally at Google? The official response here strikes me as so very corporate-damage-control mode that I'm reluctant to give it much weight.
This is exactly what I would expect to happen - and if you imagine being a typical user, what they would expect too.

I used incognito windows to log into Google services back when I used Chrome.

Now I use Brave, and it has a feature that prevents logging in browser-wide just because you signed in to a given Google service, IIRC.

(I still use incognito though, mostly out of habit and an obsessive desire to manage my "history" - I do all fresh searches and follow all links through incognito and only move things into the normal window when I want it to be in my history / findable later)
Racism must absolutely be measured by intention, not effects. The very definition of racism is somebody actively discriminating against another race. Any other definition just ends up discussing Marxist ideas like "systems of oppression" which go nowhere and actively harm the conversation.
Yes. Why not? HTML/CSS great (from the development POV) for UI, and I can always write the performance critical code in C and linked them to the electron HTML/CSS frontend.

Note that I gave the example of "legacy" tables. On long-lasting codebases there's a high likelihood that "you" didn't write that code and aren't aware of everything Django's doing under the hood.
I almost never give my correct name for informal use (I am not a waiter, but for coffee orders and the like). Gives me a marginal amount of privacy (I mean, who cares) and makes it less likely my name will be mispronounced/misspelt with my coffee order.

If I were in a service job with a name tag I would definitely not use my real name.

>Their lives were different than their predecessors too.

You don't have to go back far to get to a point where this wasn't really the case. Before the industrial revolution, life for the common person was rather similar to how their parents and grandparents lived. Estimates of GDP per capita would give you a doubling or tripling of it over a period of 1000-2000 years. A similar increase happened in the US in the last ~50 years.

Life is improving so much that we take it for granted. We've seen many facets of life significantly transformed in our lifetimes - eg social media, video games, the internet as a whole.

Of course we should look at today's problems, but we should also look at the past for perspective. If we make a mountain out of every molehill then we might end up regressing.
The apology is well-written, but I'm not sure it "it highlights all of garriott's mistakes, in detail, and places the blame squarely on his own shoulders".

That was the first time I read the apology, and the apology immediately raised red flags for being one that was only half of the whole picture and engineered to put blames on others; the self-criticism is simply there to induce sympathy.

In my opinion, the fact that there is nothing in that apology that directly addresses the departure of Ultima VIII from everything(?) that fans were expecting then is one of those, and the biggest, red flags.

I would have some sympathy for getting a burnt pizza from a pizza kitchen that's under lots of pressure and the staff are being worked to their bones; but I would not have any sympathy for the manager's apology for giving me a burnt toast made with sliced bread.

I have not played the Ultima games and I don't like EA much.

Edit: missing "to".
Right - the year after Amazon's Alexa was announced.
> The more we talk about and focus on race, especially in a zero-sum context like "buy black-owned", the worse the racial tensions and competition will become.

My dad was telling me this yesterday. He saw sectarian conflict growing up in Bangladesh, and working in international public health, he’s been to 70 countries and has had a chance to see ethnic conflict first hand. In his observation, emphasizing differences will increase rather than decrease conflict.

Oddly, this is very similar to how colonial powers divided and conquered countries. They would emphasize differences between groups and treat them differently based on group membership, fueling animosity between them. Obviously the motivation for doing those things here in the US is different. But if you’re telling some kids they can go back to school and others have to stay in remote learning, based on the color of their skin, I’m not sure why would expect the result to be different. Measures like kids getting back to in person learning at different times based on skin color should worry people: see: https://www.wsj.com/articles/can-school-be-antiracist-a-new-....

>Apple’s Request 2 is very narrow. It simply requests documents sufficient to showValve’s: (a) total yearly sales of apps and in-app products; (b) annual advertising revenues from Steam; (c) annual sales of external products attributable to Steam; (d) annual revenues from Steam; and (e) annual earnings (whether gross or net) from Steam. Apple has gone as far as requesting this information in any readily accessible format, but Valve refuses to produce it.

How can Apple go after financial information from a party unrelated to the suit? It seems to me this is kind of dubious request likened more to a fishing expedition.

If I had a good dream and suddenly woke up. I can get back to sleep and continue the dream and somehow manipulate the story woke I'm in it. It's very weird, usually i know immediately when I'm dreaming while it's happening and I can wake up if it's not interesting.

There are only 2 times that i remember that i didn't realize it. ( One quite embarrassing one).

One time when u had a fake wake-up ( i thought I woke up for real and the feeling during afterwards that something is off was really weird.

Another time i needed to go to the toilet and i couldn't. So i tried harder... Yeah, quite embarrassing this one...

I do think I'll having less dreams lately. Since I never have the need to try to fetch the dream again. But I'm using my alarm clock again and perhaps that's related.

Fyi, i forget about the dream immediately after standing up.

It's possible that I talk in my sleep, i once woke up during that and had a conversation with my girlfriend. Somehow my dream was a visual interpretation of what she said ( while my eyes were closed ofc) and I was way more open than i usually am. She could have asked me anything and I sincerely doubt of i would have been able to dodge a question if I would have wanted that.

Ps. I'm a very irregular sleeper.

I don't have real nightmares, because I can wake up, since I realise it's not real.

One time when I had a fake wake-up ( i thought I woke up for real and the feeling afterwards that something was off was really weird. Since I already thought I woke up). After a while, i woke up for real ofc, not by my doing.

Another time i needed to go to the toilet and i couldn't. So i tried harder... Yeah, quite embarrassing this one, 10 years ago after a night of going out pretty late...

Ps2. If you have trouble waking up. Set a hard noise 10 minutes before the desired time ( 1 second duration), you should get up more easily when the real alarm goes off.
No specific resources, but I’ll give you a tip that has turned around a lot of campaigns and helped a number of clients figure it a profitable FB advertising strategy.

Offer something free, like an ebook, webinar, etc. and gather email addresses to access it.

This gives you a chance to follow up and grow your email lists. So even if they don’t buy, you at least get a lead. When you just buy a click, you always gotta hit a Homer. Figure out it a way to make base hits count.

Because he tried to book himself an appointment online and couldn't figure it out. Because, you know, he's old and can barely see––like most people that need the vaccine!

He's lucky because he has me to call. But what about all those people who don't have someone young & internet savvy to call? These systems are so confusing. It's goddamn injustice.

This should exist.

Edit: You may have misread. I said US /monetary/ dominance not military. Nonetheless, there is a thesis that military dominance dictates monetary dominance, which I do not subscribe to. Below is why.

The idea that the US can use its military to reassert financial dominance in the modern age is silly especially after having exported near all manufacturing capacity to China.

US aircraft carriers are worthless in the pacific. They haven't accomplished anything significant in the South China Sea. Hell, even more aggressive annexations like that of Crimea were never blocked.

Modern warefare is no longer physicial. It's economic and online. If anything the information economy in the US and the West are more at risk from espionage, information manipulation and other attacks given the value of the intellectual assets are far greater and that China has a vice grip on communications. Additionally, our supply chain is incredibly dependent on the East. As local demand picks up and the region can afford to be less dependent on the US, they can afford to cut off supply chains with mild consequences compared to what the US would face.

Good luck with your guns.

There is no way for Stanford to claim ownership of research IP without publishing that IP.

Have you heard of research getting scooped? Take research that isn’t complete, publish/patent first and now it’s yours. Now China can claim IP ownership so Stanford can’t use it.

So no, there is no benefit to research being freely disseminated especially to authoritarian countries that are politically opposed to the West.

And no, the point of the program is not to help transfer Stanford tech to China. It’s to train scientists who can hopefully independently develop their own science.
I think your description is technically correct, it is an UI engine that uses the HTML, CSS and JS languages.

But to most folks, that sounds like a "web browser/view engine", which it is not. Does it pass the Acid2 / Acid3 test?

The power of ElectronJS is not its use of HTML, CSS and JS, but the fact that it is a web browser engine and one can share the millions of frameworks, libraries and muscle memory built for the web in their desktop applications.

> And if it becomes more prevalent to treat kids different based in their skin color, such as Evanston’s proposal to keep white and Asian kids behind in remote learning while letting other kids go back in person, people’s patience will evaporate in an instant.

Woah. The accelerationism here is truly scary. If our kids grow up in an environment with this rhetoric then it's not inconceivable we end up back in a segregationist hell-hole. Only needs to be normalized for one generation before the damage is done.
