That should not be a secret dream, rather that is half of a realistic plan.

I see this as a business with a franchise model, you need software , you need hardware, but you need a trained person to quickly model the space.

I was taking pictures of a car the other day, met the owner, and sold him 5 pictures for $10. That is fun but not scalable. A real VR photography job has to pay more. Working indoors, for instance, I am always trying to manage my own shadows and reflections. Indoor scenes often have have lighting anomalies that are unacceptable when I see the images and I have to change the room if I want to get the images in my mind.
Instagram and TikTok sound like invasive species on your lawn that compete for territory. I'm reading it like "Poisonous Ivy has largely replaced Crabgrass on your front lawn, erased all flowers and is taking on that tree".

That doesn't accomplish what I am describing. For example, suppose you want several squads that can coordinate among themselves but also still hear the overall commander, there is no way to accomplish this.

> there's way more discord bots than for any other platform and they're way more useful

There's also been a lot of developer goodwill that's been burnt over the years and a thus reason to believe that 3rd party developers could help accelerate the move to an open source discord compatible ecosystem.

> pretty funny given people have been screaming at Discord for years that they have...

Which is precisely why more and more moderation from a centralized provider like Discord is inevitable.
It's usually the other way around these days - most Windows apps can handle LF just fine, but Unix apps often cannot handle CR LF. So if you use Windows to generate a text file, things break when you try to use it from WSL.

It is an option. You're 100% free to bolt it on, just like with open source software: if a feature isn't provided out of the box you have the source.
OpenAI Founder's Thoughts on Consciousness, AI, and What Is Real
To give a counterpoint.

I have both OpenVPN and wireguard set up, running my own server/"server" peer... First OpenVPN because that's what I used before wireguard was around (and now keep as a fallback that I never use). OpenVPN required a lot more fiddling e.g. to get a ca+client certs for auth set up, find a config that works for each OS where I have clients, etc. And then again some more work because client certs expired, and again more work because the distro changed some things and required a different config suddenly (not really OpenVPN's fault)

wireguard just worked for me, except I first forgot to enable port forwarding / the NAT stuff on the interface on the "server" peer so that I could route all traffic through it (other people already remarked about that), not just have a point-to-point to it. The point-to-point stuff worked immediately tho without having to sprinkle any magic pixie dust on top first.

Setting up a "server" is always more intricate be it OpenVPN be it wireguard, tho. But once I had two peers in my wireguard setup up and running (the "server" and the first client) adding more clients was a breeze compared to doing the same in OpenVPN. All in all, it was like 10 mins of fiddling in some testing VMs and a bit of googling, and then a couple of more minutes to apply what iIlearned and set up the real "prod".

Yes they are legal, and I'm not sure I follow the argument that they shouldn't be
It is legal, yes. That license is awful and proprietary (3.3), but it's most definitely legal.
It is interesting to me that the argument is over terms while admitting that "Contracts aren’t worth spit.".

Power and goodwill are what count.

However, contracts matter once outsiders start getting involved. The contract (hopefully) isn't there to bind the original parties much, but it matters a LOT once someone much more adversarial enters the picture.
Exactly. You can always come up with excuses for why something isn’t going to work out, but if you want to change your circumstances, you have to at least try. You might still fail, but you have to try.
Also they didn’t fill it with rusty metal.
Yes. Very good, & also challenging :) Highly recommend
The argument against it, presumably, is that "If you try and make us pay for committing crime, you won't get access to our toys anymore" is very strange and seems illegal, since the ability to play with toys should not stop anyone from reporting violations of the law.

But at the same time, it's definitely legal, for better or for worse, as is pretty much any stunt you pull with the joke that is US IP law.

Completely agree, but this seems to be a common theme in the whole comment section - everyone is painting everything in black and white with personal preferences despite acknowledging that personal differences exist.

> I could model that in CAD in under an hour.

That's very impressive.
Well, he didn't say what kind of book. My understanding is that PAIP is treated more as an advanced programming techniques text than an AI text. I imagine that you have good competitors for AIMA as an AI text but no good competitors for PAIP as an advanced programming techniques text. (At least in the lispy languages world, I know of none other -- maybe except for the less ambitious On Lisp?)
Usually in systems where you need A and B to agree to pass a legislation, if A start blocking B's initiatives, B starts blocking A's initiatives in response. If the Council and the Commission always go against the Parliament's will, I expect the Parliament to block their initiatives in return, causing a permanent state of gridlock, until some truce can be reached. If this does not happen in reality, why doesn't it?
I've never run a kickstarter campaign, but I've worked with plenty of startups, two in the 3D imaging space. Here's my 2 cents (for what it's worth):

1.) Your video is too technical. You may have "dumbed it down" for kickstarter from your perspective, but I'm telling you it's still too in the weeds. People want a very clean demo of the end result, and a very quick and clean demo of how easy it is to use. (Note - your ideal end user may not be the one creating the content - see below).

2.) Consider thinking about your key costumer and tailoring the product to them. If I had to guess, the key market is realestate sales (commercial and residential) and building project management software suppliers, getting away from clunky point-to-point "virtual walk-throughs" (which are lame) into something more First Person game.

3.) I've noticed that a lot of gamers don't realize that most people aren't gamers, so they use gamer terms like everyone knows what they're talking about. Some non-gamer folks have an aversion to the word "shooter". Maybe use First Person Walker?

Bottom line - I suggest you get with a local tech incubator to try and get some free or low-cost marketing assistance to identify your core customer (demographic), then tailoring your product and marketing campaign to that customer. Talk directly to a sampling of your target customers and take their feedback to heart and act on it.

Also, in that process, you should determine if you are selling direct to customer, or what may be better for you - direct to business (i.e. sell your service to larger real estate firms to help them differentiate their higher end listings, white-label your product and have them pay you to tailor it for them).

Who knows, maybe you don't even need Kickstarter.

Good luck!
Wonderful. Absolutely adore the fact that they were able to simply ignore the irrelevant NIMBYs and incumbent neighbouring homeowners. Absolutely deserved.

Sadly the rest of the development in Vancouver is no where near the pace it needs to be to keep housing prices down, so this is merely a drop in the bucket. And it’s also unfortunately perpetuating the idea that the only housing that can be built are single family homes and high rises.

I kind of wish developers would just start developing multi-plexes illegally. Good luck arguing it’s environmentally sustainable to block multi-family homes by forcing new developments to be torn down. Obviously this is unrealistic but it’s the kind of activism that needs to happen to overpower the powerful minority of homeowners in this province.

$9 strike price for seed round
I’m an early employee at a startup and my strike price is approx $9.

When my options were issued, the company was valued around $15M. When I ask for more details, the CFO is vague.

Since we only have common shares, does that mean the investors for the seed round would have paid the same price? It seems unlikely a seasoned VC would agree to such terms, so I’m trying to figure out what could be going on behind the scenes because something seems off.
I’m not sure I understand your claim, why is this encouraging anyone to stop using any competition? The license says plainly it’s not for commercial use, what’s so sneaky?

What do you define as free software? This software is open source, always free as in beer, and free as in freedom for research and evaluation purposes (and seems fairly permissive to researchers…)
Nothing in this comment contradicts what I've said, majority of deaths were at nursing homes and better protocols would've helped them.

This explanation makes a lot of sense. I was scrolling through the thread looking to see if this just some rumor or a made-up technology.

When I traveled to China frequently enough to soak up some aspects of city life I really enjoyed seeing the outdoor activities: Dancing grannies, martial arts classes in parks, old guys playing cards on folding tables in alleyways.

> WireGuard is also orders of magnitude more secure than OpenVPN.

This entirely depends on how you configure OpenVPN, which encryption to allow it to support, HMAC, hashes, etc. If you configure it with maximum security, it is equally secure as WireGuard. If you configure it less so, then you allow older clients to connect.
Since we’re being pedantic, there’s actually so many LEGO™ bricks.
How about this one objective example of Apple > Google in terms of privacy:

iCloud Mail aliases versus Gmail aliases: Google exposes your main address at all times:
HeyGuysLookWhoItIs+TotallyNotMe@gmail.com

iCloud lets you have completely different aliases all forwarded to the same main account which no one else ever has to see.

AND you can see which apps have been given which aliases from one convenient list.

But of course facts like this will get buried to maintain the tired “everything sucks the same” narrative here.
I agree with you. I get the idea that business and pleasure should be isolated, but for me... 8 of my most-awake hours are spent at work, so I'm going to do normal human things. Some people I will like more than others. Some people will learn things about me that are an information-theoretical disadvantage for me. So it goes. You can make your life miserable if you want to, but it's also OK to be normal.

I used to be the "no fun allowed" type, and I wasn't really getting a lot out of it. Now I go to all the "fun" non-work events and have a great time. To each, their own, I guess.

> forget PAIP and look at Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach.

I've read and enjoyed that book 10+ years ago. Haven't been following AI/ML since then. Is it still a "modern approach"?
I don't disagree with his assessment, exactly, but it leaves out that PAIP is just great as a look at the craft of programming, by example, even if old-school AI is not your main interest. See how he breaks down problems, develops solutions incrementally, expresses them in code, suggests further work. It offers another look at themes from SICP.
The civil engineering-oriented channel Practical Engineering has a pretty good video on Roman concrete vs. modern.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL0BB2PRY7k

The primary tldw; is the fact modern concrete uses steel rebar for tensile strength, whereas the Romans relied on architectural techniques to minimize tensile forces on their structures.

Steel rebar is the primary route through which concrete deteriorates.
This is all because of the absurd war against the 3.5 mm jack. Bring back the jack, and I promise you this social problem will be alleviated.
As defined in the license, the capitalized term "Work" means only the StyleGAN3 software and derivatives. So it means you can't use StyleGAN3 while simultaneously claiming it infringes one of your patents, but it doesn't mean Nvidia can use StyleGAN3 against you as leverage in an unrelated patent suit.

I'm not a lawyer, and I won't comment on whether this is legal, but I'll note that it's quite similar to the patent clause in section 3 of the Apache Public License.

The USB protocol and driver are more a means for me than an end. What you linked to looks like the userspace facing API, rather than the USB PID driver specifically. My goal was to get Euro Truck Simulator 2 working. Presumably it's using the FF API, either directly or perhaps through a steam proton adaptor.

I got Dirt Rally sorta working too, but it wasn't really playable because the game doesn't seem to support multiple input devices, and I wired up my pedals through a separate 32u4 MCU.

If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

> GoProxy has a global transparency log (like a blockchain, but not) so that everyone is contributing and sharing hashes

This is not true. Only Google sum server contributes to the hashes.
As someone who recently worked on my company’s website redesign, I can say it was none of the above.

We’re actually a quite diverse staff. At the risk of saying something non-PC, many of us are quite attractive and photogenic, including those of non-white skin tones and other diverse backgrounds.

I originally fought for taking “real photos” of “real employees”, but was shot down due to:

1. Time and effort involved in getting good shots with good lighting

2. “Decent but not as nice as stock photo” office scenery (cubicles are drab compared to bright white offices with fake plants)

3. My boss let slip that he didn’t want to give visual aids to help poachers in their ability to find and hire us (nope, not joking about that one, and yes, it is a red flag)
Compared to other PNW cities, Seattle is about average. Portland isn't much better, Vancouver is...better because it is Canada but otherwise has very similar problems. No one can decide whether the term "skid row" was coined in Vancouver, Seattle, or Portland, they all had a similar place that was muddy because logs skidding to the mills which became a home for the down trodden.

So at least as far as its peers in the PNW, Seattle isn't very much of an outlier. Well, unless we can compare to other Seattle-area cities like Bellevue, which can simply push most of the homeless problem onto Seattle.
Yeah I've been working from home for a couple of weeks after being back at work three days a week for a long while now - I've found myself missing the office and getting frustrated with phone calls or chats being poor substitutes for face to face conversations.
Working from home part of the week is nice but doing it all week becomes a drag.
Shame about the license.
> Publishing a log now doesn't make it any safer tomorrow, it's purely about convincing you to trust them.

That is true. The global transparency log is just to prevent a package version change after it has been recorded in the log.
I think the latest generation has been taught that they are more important than anyone else and really lack manners. This is evident in the rise of social media and "influencers".
Influencers for teens are what clowns are for kids and what talkshow presenters are for adults.

Entertaiment. Only teens badly want anything easy to give them purpose.
Good question, but we'll probably have bigger problems, like a potential hot war, if that happens. How these problems get resolved ie "who wins" is the answer to what happens to TSMC.

and that tool is backprop. if you do not understand what the chain rule is and what it is doing, that tool will be magic to you and you are blindly trusting its correctness. seeing that alot of risk is involved in using AI models in real life, blindly trusting your model is not a good approach

I appreciate your enthusiasm. First of all, the design originates with Open Source Ecology, a sister project. I'm involved with Replimat. There's also Gridbeam, XYZ Cargo, Precious Plastic, and about a dozen other groups actively developing around the system(s).

I appreciate all your points about the sort of tractor best suited to your unique circumstances. I don't see anything about our communities designs which prevent you from constructing such a machine using our parts and techniques.
