> Ultimately this came from the same Amazon that had this clause in employment contracts of people NOT working in game-related parts of Amazon:

> > "I grant to Amazon a royalty free, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual, transferrable license to any and all of my intellectual property rights associated with the Personal Game and my Personal Game development."

That seems ... sucky, but what does that have to do with O3DE? AFAICT, the Apache 2.0 license doesn't force such employment contracts upon users.

> From the same Amazon Game Studios that has failed to release several titles with YEARS of development in them including: Breakaway, Crucible, Lord of the Rings MMO, Intensity, Nova, etc.

Are these failures due to using a particular game engine?

> The same Amazon Game Studios whose "New World" MMO had health and gold client-side, allowed inserting arbitrary HTML+JS code into the game chat that would run on other's computers, could kick players from the game, etc.

Are these failures due to the game engine?

I get it, you hate Amazon. Fine. So what?

> I don't doubt that this is open source by definition. I don't doubt that the Linux Foundation has allowed this project to live under its umbrella. But the way this came about is a far cry from being in the spirit of open source in my opinion, and rebranding it as "Open 3D" seems just a brilliant marketing trick.

> In the best case scenario, Amazon's intentions are to convince the FOSS community to develop their engine to subsidize costs long-term while maintaining ownership of the project broadly, and having full control/ownership of the new "Open3D Foundation" that they can use readily for marketing[0] similar how they do to the Rust foundation[1] to hire talent.

My guess is that they figured it doesn't make economic sense to develop and maintain their own engine vs using an off the shelf existing one like Unreal or Unity. So instead of just writing it off they open sourced it. In the best case it'll become a successful open source project like the Linux kernel or Blender, where the industry as a whole can save money by collaborating on a common open source engine. In the worst case it'll be a 'throw it over the wall' open source dump that will never acquire a development community and will thus eventually fade away. Time will tell.
Actually they prevent a competitor blatantly ripping off entire chunks of your work verbatim. This encourages spending time on R&D that you otherwise wouldn't be able to justify because "our competitor will just copy-paste it".

You don't need anything remotely like life of the author plus an additional half of a lifetime to realize that protection though.
I found a different solution to the "getting around the screen" problem: set your keyboard repeat rate to 100 keys/s.

Upside: works anywhere, much lighter mental load, relatively easy to learn and adjust to.

Downside: some programs (ironically, mainly Emacs) can't keep up, and scrolling becomes choppy.

On Linux this is quite easy. When I was using Windows, there was no good solution for USB keyboards, so I hacked up a driver to do it: https://github.com/CyberShadow/KeyboardEmperor (signing keys not included).
GPT-3 face the same issues as GPT-2. Tried a few queries not quite there yet
With all this filibustering and owning going on, I imagine that it might actually serve the purpose of promoting legislation that both parties agree upon but which one or both can't openly advance for fear of serving the opponent a perceived win. But maybe I'm overthinking it.
While I do concour in general, further discrimination is necessary: also teetotalers can get tired. (In fact, it is not clear how such system is that different from the already existing systems evaluating driving style: occasional jerks (being tired) and consistent imprecision (intoxicated) should both have been part of it.)

And about «ripping [modules] out»: are you sure that will be possible, also technically? It's not an independent bolt, but probably an integrated component.
Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?
I am pretty sure it would not have. The comments about "come back without an electric car" pretty much tells you what was going on.
Do remote applicants need to be in any particular country or time zone?
How would this work for copyleft property? Once the work enters public domain, doesn't matter what the developers do, any company can incorporate their work and charge for it.
More like Bush II/Obama/Trump. The FTC has been neutered for a while, particularly when the rulings about decreased competition vs consumer choice were made in the mid-2000s.

The reason for competition law is to regulate the free market to ensure that consumer choice is not limited by the uncontrolled acquisition and merger of suppliers.

The merger of NVidia and ARM is inherently non-competitive unless NVidia accepted limitations/restrictions on their licensing freedom which they are not willing to propose or accept.

That's leaving aside the international and other ramifications of a company that is involved in the entire vertical of chip production and sale through to retail having control of the licensing of the most used ISA and other IPRs that are available to its competitors throughout that vertical.
There are many many issues with this proposal.

What, for example, if you're living in a rural area, then your wife goes into labor (or there is any kind of other emergency) and the car thinks your somewhat "erratic" driving style, due to the stress of the situation, warrants killing the engine? It only talks about detecting "impairment" which may mean a lot of things. Or maybe you had a beer and then the emergency happens, and the car detects "passively and accurately" your BAC.

Banning drunk, drugged and impaired driving is good. But every rule has exceptions, and software is generally too rigid to account for every possible exceptional case.

There won't be a "It's an emergency" button (because a lot of drunks would just press it), nor a "I am lawfully driving on my own private property" or a "I am not actually impaired, I had to drive 'erratic' a moment ago not because I am drunk or fell asleep, but because a kid ran into a street and I had to do an evasive maneuver" one.

That is assuming the software is working "correctly" in the first place. Which I am very doubtful about here, because they aren't trying to model something deterministic, but model something that will use some kind of "learning" to spit out some probabilities.

That aside, the privacy implications look pretty real to me. Once you have a system that monitors your driving proficiency, BAC or both, a lot of companies will get curious about that. Insurers may start to politely ask for the data if you want lower premiums, or a contract at all. No more car leases unless you can provide a "positive" driving score. Judges will sign warrants for such data. And so on.
Not Rust, but Figma (which everyone seem to love) is using C++ and Web Assembly and they seem to be moving quite fast. I guess it’s not the entire stack but still, seems viable for them.
> "[...] instead of the current ones ascribing all agency and blame to just NSO."

The article does not claim that NSO has sole responsibility for any of the crimes it was an accomplice to.
German government argues that health-care cannot handle all those patients due to shortage of health care personal.

In the same moment they are going to remove 10.000+ health care workers on January 1st from their jobs because they are unvaccinated.

Everybody knows that vaccination cannot prevent transmission of the virus.

That's the "new" german logic.
No no, it's because you're all in the same boat...

It's your choice to bring a life jacket or not. You know that you risk drowning if you don't bring one, but you also know that the risk is low for where you are going, are allergic to the material that PFDs (personal floatation devices) are made of, think you know better because you can swim, or have some other ideological reason for not wearing one.

But on this day, your little crew encounter some unexpected rapids that cause your boat to capsize. One person was a guide who knows how to treat this, and quickly gets as many people as they can onto the flipped boat. Despite this, there isn't enough room on the upside down boat for everyone to fit, so some people are left grabbing the edges of the boat.

Those who can hold on survive, as do many with life vests and those on the boat. Unfortunately, since the boat was so small and the rapids so strong, some were swept away - some with life vests and others without - never to be seen again. The rapids eventually calm down and you are able to flip the boat right-side up again. Now, you are joined by another boat coming in from another river that didn't experience the same rapids as you did.

Now, a few of the life jacket wearers are pointing fingers saying that those who didn't wear life jackets "effectively killed" those who wore life jackets but didn't make it. Since by not wearing lifejackets, they "took up too much room" on the boat and weren't contributing their fair share for the greater good and survival of everyone. The other side counters by reasoning that this is theory-crafting much like how pundits argue that Jack could have fit onto the wooden plank alongside Rose from Titanic if they shifted their bodies in the right way. Even though the acclaimed director JAMES CAMERON says that Jack was going to die anyways.

When in reality, no one was to blame except for the natural cause that was the rapids. All the while, life jacket manufacturers line their pockets with money from the increased sale of life jackets.
Hypersonic tech and reduced launch costs have brought something similar back if the funding keeps coming.
I wasn't meaning to differentiate between those two approaches. The original complaint seemed to be that having too many windows visible was leading to distraction. Honestly I found that claim perplexing. If it was only when they were spread across multiple physical monitors (as opposed to a single very large one) that would be even stranger to me.

At the end of the day though I admit that it comes down to whatever works for the individual to maximize their effectiveness.
For sure, P.W. Singer is unbiased. It just pure accident that he worked with U.S. Department of Defense and CIA and some books are on reading list of U.S army. He himself is selling his books as "useful fiction"(combination of research and fiction, wtf?).

There is a very thin line between unbiased facts and opinions and propaganda. For most people, electronics is like magic, circulating ideas about dangers to security where probability is low from both technical and economic point of view is not useful. Both old style printer yellow dots and recent CSAM are US ideas pushed to whole world in open and much higher level than individual IC components.
Shoppers are buying from resale retailers more than ever. Here’s why
I agree. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but if someone talked about a big multiyear project only in terms of I, I would see that as a red flag. Either they actually did all the work themselves in isolation, but that must be because they are hard to work with, or they are taking all the credit for work done by a quite a few people in a team.
I think if you treat Instagram (or Twitter/TikTok/...) as a professional tool and distance yourself personally from it, it can probably be a great place to promote your work and keep up-to-date with your industry. By creating boundaries on when you post, how often you check it, who you follow etc. you can probably have a healthy relationship with it.

That said, this requires you to swim upstream and fight against the design. It's designed to create an addict. It wants to grab as much of your attention as possible and will do it in the most devious of ways. Outside of its design, the entire ecosystem of social media encourages people to present themselves in certain ways, which fosters insecurities on both ends: "I need to show everyone that my life is great" and on the other hand "why is everyone having more fun then me".

I know you didn't mention TikTok but I remember the first and only time I used TikTok being so cynically impressed with how well they had curated the first 10 or 15 minutes of your time on the platform. When you open the app, it begins to show you videos of young, attractive women, usually dancing. As you continue to scroll, you see that this gets interleaved with other genres of monkey-brain content. It works incredibly well and after 20 minutes or so I had to delete it.
>Also you cannot just get a vaccine, you have to actively search for places that administer them. Pretty sure that I won't renew mine again, since this is just not acceptable.

Very true, last month for the booster there was only one place in Stuttgart (large city for German standards) offering appointments within the year. It's gotten better again, but it's not like they didn't know that there would be a new wave of vaccinations once the first people are 6 months in (or had J&J).
This is seeking someone to blame honestly, those "Querdenker" didn't influence anything else but themselves. The truth is we always had a form of triage in emergency admission rooms even before the pandemic.

Media and politics are way more responsible than the craziest idiot.
That reminds about those Elizabeth Holmes' affirmations recently mentioned here - there was something like "I will call out BS immediately" yet there was no affirmations wrt. being called out on BS.
No, they really didn't. Healthcare workers got COVID in large numbers, causing severe absenteeism, a number of deaths, and many with ongoing Long Covid conditions.

It's part of the reason that bed capacity has been so difficult to keep constant or increase.
I’ve always wondered about the whole “obesity is a choice, they just lack willpower”-crowd, what they would use to explain the drastic increase in “lack of willpower”, because it seems odd that this should just suddenly change so much over a relatively short time period. But from this study it could seem like maybe the simple explanation is the most direct one. Is the obesity epidemic just caused by the rise of TV enabling a specific lifestyle of large excess calorie while sedative? And if such a link is confirmed, will we see Netflix, Disney, Apple, along with flow tv provides penalized in the same way that tobacco companies have been? Both are personal choices, damaging to your health? It’s a fun line of thinking. Entirely speculative of cause, and ignoring tons of complexity, but fun non the less, I remember as a child my parents told me to not spend too much time in front of the TV “or my eyes would become square”, maybe they should have been saying “don’t spend too much time in front of the TV or you’ll become obese”.
> or you could even ignore inflation altogether, which would slowly extend average copyright terms

Just what we need, a Disney incentivized to cause rampant inflation...

I originally thought of that in jest, but honestly putting money is more stable assets or other currencies and supporting and lobbying for inflationist policies would probably be in their best interest, and they're powerful enough that it probably wouldn't be a good thing.
Another real-world example I've used that doesn't even require you to have multi-cloud: deploying an EKS cluster to AWS, deploying charts to EKS and finally creating a CNAME to the ALB in Cloudflare. You could even add Cloudflare Access, Workers etc.
Last time I checked there was no official government ISP the was required to provide some baseline of service to every physical address in the country at a reasonable price. And to keep it equivalent you'd only pay for bandwidth used - no flat fee for the hookup itself. The internet is not (yet) a replacement for what the USPS actually is.
Look at the US during the 1800s freely "borrowing" stuff from the UK, which was then the world leader in IP development.

All "developing" nations don't (and shouldn't) GAF about IPRs during that phase in their development. Notice that China didn't GAF for years, but does now, both from a control POV and from a competition POV.

Countries only worry about IPRs when they have sufficient IP development to have something to sell.
You know some hard working ones then.
Organic nano bots, this will surly surpass metal gear!
Those admins might be complaining but they still continue to buy Microsoft:

Microsoft is aware of the situation and has hinted it's not just notifications that admins might need to worry about, because other admin tools appear to be wobbling.

Microsoft's status page for its 365 services states: "Our initial investigation indicates that a recent change may be contributing to the issue. We are reverting our change as a preliminary troubleshooting issue while continuing to analyze the gathered data."
Yeah for me as well, it's just a way of recognising teamwork. If anything I would say it's the opposite, excessive "I..me..myself" can become a red flag in some cases.
This is confusing since I first thought it refers to the Matrix protocol.

Scientists identify another reason why batteries can't charge in minutes
It's a completely new species

I think this is where we differ. That obnoxious spiky little ball we all now know as coronavirus(es) existed in both humans and bats long before making the "jump". Ignoring the possibility that humans are directly responsible for the new host capabilities, it's not like we watched influenza slowly morph into a coronavirus and cause a new form of havoc. All we saw was an existing "species" that had mutations inside the bounds of its genetic code that enabled it to survive elsewhere.

> So, um, who decides what belongs in production?

Product Owner, or just management?

On a side note: in "mature" markets a bricklayer nor an architect, nor constructor can really build anything they want without anyone looking.
Why would you want ARM owned by a "massive" American firm. Is there one that you would trust to keep the evolution of ARM IP at the same rate, while also offering IPRs (ie licensing etc) in a way that continues to encourage innovation in the use and evolution of that IP?

Massive firms are not an inherent Good Thing. There are some benefits due to their ability to invest, but there are also multiple downsides to conglomerates, particularly in strategically vital industries and areas.
I think history has something to share here: This is not a new idea. Open Source communities, Co-ops, Friendly Societies, Mutuals, Building Societies, Investment Clubs, Slicing Pie, Vestd, to name a few already existing ideas that are remarkably similar.

Once legislated, and two years after published, it will be mandatory for manufacturers to comply.

This functionality is not requested and is working against the user (and it is pretty unlikely for such a feature to be done completely locally on the car, and even if it was, it will almost certain have Over-The-Air updates creating what is colloqially referred to as a backdoor.

Which part of this do you disagree with?
I've not been enjoying my CDK experience, the idea of it is a beautiful one, the practical application is far less so.

The different libraries for the different services act extremely differently, there are frequently breaking changes (we did a minor point release, and now everything is broken)

The tooling doesn't support SSO, even though amazon has been pushing people in that direction for years.

I WANT to like it because you can see it is the way things should be, but until Amazon gets their documentation and tooling in a working state, it isn't nearly the beautiful thing it looks like it should be.

It is a great idea, but really let down by a shitty implementation.

Seriously. When you define a thing. Is it going to create it for you?

Is it going to fall over if it already exists because you ran the same script yesterday? So the thing already exists?

Is it just going to reference a thing which is already there?

It could be any of these, and how it acts is WILDLY different for every service, and also undocumented.

CDK could be good. But it REALLY isn't yet. There is a reason your Devops people are not falling over themselves to use it.
All volunteers will have biases. I guarantee you that you have people from corporations you despise working on free software you love.
> But by and large, the people who are most well known in industry for 'expertise in X' are the devrel / tech evangelists whose job it is to go on stage and be an expert, for one hour at a time (and perhaps a few extra hours on the show floor surrounding the conference).

When I think of "experts in X" I usually think of the people who created or maintain the thing, or who're active in the Github issues. I guess some of those people might be considered tech evangelists, but I don't think I could name a single devrel person.
Most foods you'd want to freeze are high in water, which expands by 4% when it freezes, so they are talking about placing the food product in a vessel that prevents that expansion (and increasing the pressure instead)

I think you may want to consult the article for a definition of "bullshit". The article describes it as (this definition is curated by me, the article has more descriptions): discourse which is created, circulated and consumed with little respect for or relationship to reality, and crafted to wilfully mislead and to serve the bullshitter’s purposes.

I'm pretty sure the terms in the abstract are well defined recognized terms in this area of study.
> A new study ... seeks to identify the reasons that cause the performance of fast charged lithium-ion batteries to degrade in electric vehicles. In lithium-ion batteries, however, the graphite [the anode] is assembled out of small particles[: i]nside these particles, the lithium ions can insert themselves in a process called intercalation. When a battery is charged too quickly ... the lithium ions tend to aggregate on top of the anode's surface, resulting in a "plating" effect that can cause terminal damage ... The anode itself undergoes some degree of irreversible expansion, impairing battery performance.
