Yes you’re correct, being crushed by the unjust power of wealth is mildly superior to being bombed or strangled by serial murderers and career criminals.

Insightful, that.
I'm in largely the same boat, but with a Playstation 4 (and no current Playstation 5 plans until Sony releases a version that is both readily available and not ugly).

I have a Steam library full of games bought on sale that my Mac was never quite up to the task of running, and the prospect of having them all on a neat little handheld for less than the cost of a midrange iPad is awfully compelling.
The process is described in Supplementary, but where do you see the code to train the model? The repository is the inference pipeline.
> His naiveté was about the nature of Google and how he thought a giant corporation basing their revenue on ads and collecting information could be a positive force in the world and not abuse its power.

I agree with your refinement. Admittedly the first part of my comment was a rant on a bigger topic that rubs me the wrong way every now and then -- with the slight clarification that to me "an American" isn't "USA-born", it's more like "has lived in USA for a long time".

> It seems to me his gripe is about the hypocrisy

I think so too but then again, a big company changing ethics is also smart enough to know they have to peddle certain propaganda at their more naive hard workers. Sadly it has been the case ever since written history and it seems to be a general weakness of the human brain: we can trade things in our lives (physical and mental health, personal happiness, alone time, leisure time etc.) for some "bigger cause".

People are especially vulnerable to these "bigger causes require sacrifices" propaganda when they are young. And such huge companies are run by excellent psychologists (I mean that higher management / politicians naturally are such) and they know how to manipulate those younger people.

> if people denies the company ethics problems, you can be sure they are not going to get better.

Herein lies the conundrum, you are correct. And I'd point out that maybe you here are projecting some naivete: we are not ants, dude, and we don't possess collective hive-mind consciousness so we cannot ever all work together towards a common cause.

For every single programmer refusing to work due to warped company ethics there are 1000 more waiting in Africa / India / Eastern Europe / Brazil / etc. These companies' awful ethics will never disappear because the world is too big and there is always somebody who will pick up the job.

The only way out is this: that the jobs require so much expertise, experience and a surgical touch that a random hungry team from India cannot ever hope to do the job properly. And for a number of positions inside big companies this is already the case. However the temptation to hire cheaper devs is too great and the companies usually sink a lot of money in those "cheaper" devs until they realize they aren't saving any money due to reduced quality of work, huge communication overhead, general chaos and no planning, and several other such nasty problems that the cheaper dev teams always seem to carry with them.

> You can't be naive about its ethics because you just have to doom-scroll the app for an hour to feel bad about it.

I am completely with you here. The thing is though, what we find bad/evil about Twitter's model is what other people absolutely LOVE about it. What can you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You are absolutely right. Every echo chamber has equal rights to believe it is better than the others.

NNs aren't generative causal structural models of reality

they are models parameterised by pixels, not by jawlines

to mistake one for the other is to mistake and misunderstand intelligence

we are not in a humean nightmare of sensory input -- we have bodies which have causal contact with reality, and from these bodies we have built a structural understanding of reality

our perception applies this structure to our "sensory input" -- thinking doesnt terminate in the visual cortext, that is where it begins

by the time we are seeing we are seeing vastly more than is present on our retina
FSF and SFC and OSI if you're listening, this would be very nice.
I doubt it.

If Valve isn't locking the hardware down, but is subsidizing it, then they might run into a situation where cryptominers (or some other group) start buying these things up in bulk, but never playing any games on them.

I could see owning one of these as a non-gaming desktop.
Sure, but you can then read the next sentence and the confusion should disappear.

The right answer is to use power and energy capacity respectively if you’re talking to lay people but this publication is talking to people who disambiguate based off the units pretty easily.

Nuclear capacity/wind capacity/Energy Storage Capacity. Three different delivery methods for power. That’s how they’d read it at the end of the sentence.

But anyway, the trick is to perform either unit disambiguation or perform one sentence lookahead.

And finally, think of it as no different from using the summation convention in tensor notation. You read it and you’re like wtf but that’s because you’re not the audience and you lack the context to get it.
If you assume Axiom of Choice, you can define cardinalities in terms of ordinal numbers (an extension of naturals that generalizes the notion of "counting", or "indexing"). And ordinal numbers are well-ordered, ie. every element has a unique "successor" element.
Loosely translated into English : Trimbos ( a Dutch drug use non-profit ) says : "we don't see a significant rise in drug use among the youth. 9% of youth between 12 and 16 has used cannabis at a particular time".

BTW, the whole article is about cannabis. Is this what you are worked up about?

The numbers sound about the same for my cohort, and our teachers were well aware, also who we were and it was discussed openly in class. And we felt safe enough to be open about it as well.

You seem particular puritan. One needs to remember the Dutch voted for gedoogbeleid ( laissez faire policy ) and it has been in place since the 80s.
"the gas" meaning "nitrous oxide?" It's a sedative, not anesthesia. It isn't dangerous and doesn't do much but help you relax, it doesn't reduce pain.
The article is a draft concerning UK Internet policies for which suggestions are solicited.

Data is just crystallized business logic. Anemic databases aren’t a big deal when the database is just a persistence layer for a single app but, when you’re rewriting the application code or allowing BI queries directly against the database, designing a database as a service whose interface is stored procedures starts making data integrity much easier.
It's a bad idea and I'd like to see how do people actually do test using this model. Now you have to run PG locally everytime you need to unit test something? Also PG returns some JSON but if the object is not exactly what you want to send back you create another object and merge the two? Just don't do it, it's a terrible design. It "works" for simple API but for anything serious this is wrong.
I recommend checking out Geforce Now, it lets you play many games from your Steam library via cloud streaming.
> although it sucks to see the price difference on so many titles

Thats what I always think when considering a new Switch game as well. They're so incredibly expensive, Breath of the wild is still 50€ although it was released 4 years ago.

Having a handheld device with all my Steam titles playable is huge!
I love these simple web games! Great idea. One way to improve it is to add some more juice when you answer a question. Right now, the text in the number just swaps to the next question, so any sort of small visual feedback will help first time players get it more.

I also like to make these small web mini games on the side. Here's one where you guess the year that famous events happened: https://guess-the-year.davjhan.com/
You don't actually need image analysis. There are tricks you can use to decide if an enemy is visible or not without it - obviously the game itself does it already to decide if it should draw the enemies to begin with :)

Also yes these were invented a long time ago because people got caught snapping through the wall when CS servers started recording demos.

Comparing Bitcoin to the iphone is disingenuous. It's more like a pager. It took over ~50 years to get from the pager to the iphone.
I'm genuinely curious: could the output of Alphafold be fed into a classical folding algorithm (as a starting point), or is the output of Alphafold too far down the wrong path, in these cases?
I can get along well if I have to, but I was responding to a comment that talked about these forced dinners being good for society. I get drained enough getting along when in day to day life, which is minimal because I have built a life where I can be very secluded and avoid social interaction unless I want it. Now stick me in these forced dinners and I'll lose a lot of mental health, just like working in an office is a significant and constant drain on my well-being (hence why the pandemic and lockdowns have been the best times of my life, by far).
Getting featured in Product Hunt's newsletter: the notification strategy
Product Hunt can be a crap shoot, and having it be worthwhile is tough. You can drive your own audience there but if your product isn't applicable to the individual consumer and is more of a business use case, getting noticed is tough.

I wrote this in hopes to help inspire new founders that posting on Product Hunt is just like any other marketing campaign. Targeting, messaging, channel, and timing should all be taken into consideration, and you can't play scorched earth for upvotes.

To avoid ruining our email list with email after email and likely unsubscribes, we focused on our social media, chat apps like Slack and Discord, and mainly LinkedIn 1st degree connections by inviting them to an event on their platform. This is the least intrusive way to see if someone is interested in what you are doing, and their notification architecture is fabulous for keeping the attendees informed.

We went about this as respectfully and delightfully as possible. We try to practice conscious notifications at Courier.

I mean a decade ago we didn’t have social media that allowed minorities to say and record their experiences. Makes sense to me that once minorities don’t have to work around a gatekeeper like MSM that suddenly everyone realizes what a shitshow it is. There were countless George Floyds before George Floyd but only now we have people with cameras to capture it and put it somewhere for everyone to see.

First we protect children. Then we protect specific groups. Then they redefine who should be protected of what.

I don't see a 1 day ban as much of a punishment. If there's a platform involved it could just block posting/voting for a day.

As far as incentives to lurk, I see quite the opposite. I don't comment on reddit unless I have something funny to say because outrage, point scoring and comedy is what rises to the top rather than reasoned argument.
If you're combining external packaging and debian packaging, or installing things manually, this is typical. Oftentimes if you're doing those, you'll have broken dependencies because Debian lags behind. I had issues keeping Blender and some other creative software up to date, because of this.

It works great if you mostly stick to official Debian packages through and through.
These days I think many or even most PC gamers own a gamepad and choose to use it for certain games, even when they have a mouse and keyboard sitting right in front of them. These also tend to be the same games I'd consider most suitable for playing at reduced resolutions and framerates.

I do think the original title (which says "guaranteed income" not "UBI") should have been kept.

Nothing in the article makes it sound like this was meant to be a "UBI experiment", and I think the goal of actually helping people who are leaving the foster-care system is valuable whether or not it demonstrates anything about actual UBI.
If you're at home, you might as well just stream from a gaming PC anyway.
My guess is that Valve will keep their own mirrors and update from upstream only once their relevant packages will be tested for compatibility.

I have been using Archlinux for more than 10 years and from time to time some major upgrades can make things broken for a couple days until all the packages get updated and all the relevant compatibility fixes have been pushed upstream by the developers.
But in most cases this happens with some 3rd party desktop related packages or closed source drivers. I bet that Valve won't have that many problems with AMD since their drivers are open source.
> and the economical implications of this.

The average HNer has absolutely no clue the economic impact derived from invasive privacy tracking and the not-so-secretive data industry. It's absolutely massive across finance, consumer-facing-anything, insurance, and government.

there is your problem.

that does not mean that the fix is to have a 'nobody can touch this but the contractors'

The US Military - all branches - have a long and great tradition of making field fixes. This is critical out there.

Waiting 3 days for a 10min fix may be acceptable in a US base, but in a war zone it will get people killed. At the very least, they need to be able to get remote support for on-site personnel to actually implement the fix.

Has anyone ever considered that the replacement rate of 2.1 should be becoming lower with longer lifespans too? Or if it refers to working population, probably becoming bigger.

I've seen this figure quoted for two decades at least, and I can't imagine it staying constant with all the other changes.

Not to mention a clear move towards childbearing at older age, which skews the stats for a while, and also reduces number of children because it's that much harder for mothers to conceive with every passing year.

I think demographical models in use are in serious need of updating to be taken seriously.
Depends a lot on the game. If there is nothing to be 'earned' by being competitively better then it is nothing more than street cred. Think simple games or older games. CS 1.6 before rewards, knifes, and skins. A small few players might make some comp scene to get to some incentive but most are ultimately found out.

The bigger issue, and I believe the primary reason for the rise in popularity of these bots, is when your performance does 'earn' you something. As the OP was speaking of TF2, this comes in the form of hats and custom weapons. Today's counterstrike game has weapon skins and knifes that go for pretty extreme real world dollars.

Almost every modern shooter has some sort of rank up system tied to rewards. Some of the worst examples would be PUBG's real world money trading of loot box items or Diablo 3's real world money auction house.

In my mind, these kind of systems turn video games meant for enjoyment into some weird NFT mining system where normal players are manually mining them with pen and paper while the bots have built ASIC devices.

In cases where the items themselves cannot be sold, you have people selling the whole accounts. There are entire middlemen businesses set up around this stuff. It's crazy but there is your primary driver for incentive.

Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook Go can be bought for as low as $130
Sort of agree. I just purchased a UHS-1 microSD card, UHS-I U3 certified. And the advertisement only claims up to 100 MB/s speed, which is terrible in comparison to the SSDs you mention.

But then, it cost 60€ for 512 GB, and that's way more price effective for most. At least on the Switch, loading times are not that noticeable imo.

I think people have shown to be willing to give direct payment. Twitch subscriptions, Patreon, Kickstarter, even OnlyFans. People will invest in the people and the projects they like.

I don't want anything that's advertising supported. Anything. There is no media I want to consume so badly that I'll tolerate ads to watch it. There's no product so interesting I'll view ads to use it. No website contains information I need that badly.

People keep saying that without ads we'll have to pay for things. Fine. Sure. Set up a Patreon. I give money on Github to a few projects I rely on to make sure their maintainers don't get day jobs. I couldn't afford to pay a programmer's salary, but I can afford to pay a small percentage of one.

I think the problem has actually been the donation button itself. You want $1 a month out of me that's a pretty easy sell. You want me to sign up for your website and give you my credit card information and you're SOL. I tried to donate to VoiceMeeter a few months back because it's so good. They only accept $20 donations, no more no less, and their payment system wasn't working.

Just, like, get a Venmo.
People!! Stay away from this!!!

I am unsure about the sincerity of the authors of this software but in the general case the purpose of these systems is to bring dumb money into markets. Efficient markets are impossible to make money (risk adjusted positive returns) out of by active investing by definition.

Dumb money is not efficient and lets the smart money (people who dedicate their lives to this) make money.

Do not be the dumb money!!

The theory behind banning ransom payments is an attacker won't go to the risk and expense of kidnapping someone if they know there's only a 1% chance they'll get paid.

But if the attack is an automated bulk exploitation of thousands of computers all around the world - why should an attacker stop targeting US computers just because US companies are banned from paying?
How about ads without surveillance? Sure, they are paying less, but how much? 2 times? 10 times? 50 times?

Does this change if nobody is allowed to do surveillance? I.e. if privacy-respecting ads are not competing with more intrusive ads, does the price change?

I think discussing options is a waste of time if we don't have any data to base our decisions on.
