Zun is a particularly cool example.

There are plenty of excellent artists out there. If your video games inspire them, you can have a large fan-base who can contribute fanworks... from (amateur) manga/comics and other online works, to fan art, and maybe even some professionals remixing your works (most noticeably in the music world for Zun, where professionals / dedicated musicians take his speedy tunes and add a more subtle flair to it)

The "Bad Apple" fanwork is a great example of how the fan community interacted with Zun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgK8eUdpAo). The shadow art was its own thing (though clearly based on Zun's characters / Touhou characters), but the song itself was a remix based from an earlier game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNKyPkQ-_ug)... and professional level remixes to Bad Apple have entered the world.

---------

So Zun was "good enough" at art, music, and programming... but also did a great job at inspiring and leading the Touhou community / fanbase.

In many ways, the "game designer as commmunity leader" model is apparent. Braid, Touhou, Minecraft, and even Factorio all had community leaders and fan-growth that was superbly done.

The music / art of the Touhou community though really elevates that particular community into true artistry. Both of the classic kind (just straight up good drawings / music being made), as well as of the programming / interactive kind.
Was looking for something like this just today. Does it support hands-free operation (or while we're at it, does someone else know something that does)?

This is currently my main criterion. I want something that captures my thoughts while hiking without seeing or touching the screen. Currently dabbling with Siri shortcuts, but they're pretty buggy and lacking.

So if Voiceliner could either support the Shortcuts API and/or switch into a mode that's press-to-record / or start-stop, but somehow works on the connected Airpods only, that would be awesome.

Bonus points for re-reading the transcription to me and very light editing on top (like document switching).

Is there something like that?
Oh come on, you can’t tell me you’ve seen an emacs or vi thread that hasn’t included this. It’d be like shipping an OS without a text editor…

Hiro delivered pizzas and lived in a storage unit with a roommate. His metaverse "wealth" was essentially worthless to him in real life. Real-life real estate is valuable because they're not making more land. Virtual real estate does not have that limitation.

(Also IIRC he helped create the Metaverse, he didn't simply buy in early.)
Correlation is not causation. Someone who is interested in being good with people is likely to look for a model, but maybe it's their motivation (rather than the model) that makes them good with people.
Even in a self-regulated/peer quality control context, I think it's quite amazing to not have people tasked for dedicated (or more focused towards) testing and QA, even within the software/engineering group.

I wonder how developer/engineers are expected to split their focus between design and development of their own areas of responsibilities, and doing peer review and testing of other people's areas of responsibilities. One of the dangers of this setup is always that people (and their managers) prioritize output of their own areas, resulting in neglecting testing and review of other areas. It's certainly possible to make the setup, but it takes good people (and team cohesion/morale) up and down the chain to make this work.

I definitely agree that it's a fine line.
The way you fix that properly is with education, not with compelled speech.
Well done! Love that you can create outlines from voice recordings - super cool.
We don't have to automatically trust them, and challenging is important. I basically agree with everything else you said, but I also don't think it's that big a deal outside of edge cases.

My main issue with this story, and stories like it, is that parent's aren't arguing "we need the library to stock more books which present my beliefs in a favorable light".

They're generally arguing "I don't want books available to any child that present anything I don't personally agree with."

So, yes, absolutely, we should be cautious about institutional ideological blinders.

But I'm under no obligation to take serious anyone whose response to those blinders is to limit access instead of expand access.
>One company controls the specification and reference implementation. These gimmicks tend to be "open" so contributions can flow in from anywhere, but the company has full priority and benefits by controlling the pace and final result.

Same.

I actually see a lot of comparison with the "firehose of falsehoods", which is a known propaganda technique.

I'm actually worried about people picking it up and getting suckered in without knowing anything on the technical side.
Thanks for the suggestion! I have thought about using positive reinforcement, and I am still considering it as possible future feature. One of the reasons I chose to start with negative reinforcement is that I had read in "Thinking, Fast and Slow" that losses tended to be more motivating. I think there are arguments about whether that holds up or not, but I think it's true of my own experiences.

Setting money aside in escrow is definitely an interesting idea, but as you say, requires quite a lot of trust. I did toy with idea of rewarding people with the punishment money from other failed commitments but it'd be quite tricky to make the rewards worthwhile, while making sure the system doesn't get gamed.
If you ask "why care about email when normal mail works just as fine" then "because you always get it quicker" is a much better answer for "well there are edge cases where an unbanked person might actually have access to a local cryptocurrency speculator offering them spendable cash for less commission than Western Union or the local hawala service"

It's been a while.

For that matter, I think Lyft, Uber, & Airbnb are capable of paying more on average than Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon at least. Or at least that's the impression I get on Blind.
The issue is the inflation of requirements in some fields due to competition. A postdoc is generally understood to be further training in running your own lab as a PI - you might manage and guide doctoral students, for example, or learn how to write and apply for grants. With that in mind, a lot of people are happy to commit to a few years of postdoctoral work. In some fields, however, the extreme shortage of tenure track positions has made very long postdoctoral stints a requirement, rather than as something to sweeten the deal. Like others have pointed out, in CS a PhD is enough to get you a tenure track academic position, while industry jobs abound. Meanwhile, in biology I commonly see 5+ years of postdoc experience being typical just to be in the consideration for an industry job that 10 years ago would have happily hired a fresh PhD. The general thinking is that a postdoc only makes sense if you want an academic position, but the glut of PhDs in the market has pushed up the requirements for all kinds of jobs.
I do keep wondering if it's worth being first on the scene with a new idea

People pushing image NFTs will likely be keen to promote anything that can ding an argument against the naysayers, especially if they're cryptographically compensated somehow (whatever the web3 version of affiliate links is, is it airdrops?)

Side comment I do realise I probably come off super naive to people who have already learned all this. I am trying! I've not come across a less newcomer friendly community since I started tinkering with Linux 20 years ago haha. "You just don't understand" is almost as much a web3 catchphrase as wagmi

Admittedly Linux is now my sole non-mobile daily driver, maybe I'll get there with web3. Having had a tinker I do like the idea of the tech, I've just not had the "click" into how it's actually usable (for me) yet

What if its broken in 10 years? Or in 50 years? Eventually it will be.
Choosing beggar mentality. I hate it.
Its an analogy and diverts from the original point. We were talking about how you were going to solve double spends without a chain.

You point about minting another is an interesting point but its not a double spend so we veer off the topic.

If we take your point then its the same as saying anyone can create a new crypto and call it Bitcoin. If I have an OG Bitcoin and you have a fake
one then you can steel my real one. No you cant.

The reason is that people discern what Bitcoin is vs. other coins.

NFT cooy/paste is a problem but it is a distinct and different problem to double spend.
FWIW -- A later, vaguely related project was Jitawa[1]. Its Lisp dialect was not as fancy as VLISPs, but its verification was much more thorough (machine checked proofs down to the X86 code for the runtime.)

Today, ongoing, CakeML[2] extends these techniques to an ML language and is just generally super awesome.

Manufacturers should stop calling it a day right after they get their stuff to "sort of" work. Especially if they make DIY products. Passing on the complexity of hardware interfaces to novice users is just cruel.

Consumer electricity prices in Germany climb to record high: 45-80 Cents/kwh
I just got a letter from my electricity company. They are bankrupt and I am now exposed to 80 cents / kwh as they immediately stop supplying electricity.

Here is a brief summary of the electricity crisis in Germany:

Consumer electricity prices in Germany climb to a record high despite a warm winter. Not only mine, but several other electricity providers have gone bankrupt in the past few days. The price available to consumers is now 45-80 cents / kwh. Many providers no longer accept new customers because they have to recalculate their offers, so that consumers are exposed to the "basic supply", which in many regions has reached 80 cents per kWh. My plan now is to get a contract that I can cancel on a monthly basis and I hope the situation improves. If you accept my application, I will have to pay 65 cents per kWh from now on.

The bad news is: From January 1st, prices will continue to rise due to an increased CO2 tax and the Greens have announced that they will continue to increase this tax. However, I hope that the underlying effect will improve and lead to an overall price reduction.

At the same time, 3 out of 6 nuclear power plants will be shut down on December 31, 2021 - in 2 days. Since the Greens want to accelerate the switch to electromobility, forecasts indicate that we have a need for several new natural gas power plants in Germany. Unfortunately, due to political tensions with Russia, Germany is working closely with the United States to import LNG. Not only is it more expensive, it is also dirty, because fracked gas has a similar carbon footprint to coal and has a devastating environmental impact.

The solution is to buy electricity from neighbors who are expanding their nuclear power plant capacity.

I am shocked and not prepared. Fortunately, I can pay for that, but I can imagine that this will cause the prices of everyday goods to rise - and lead to an erosion of our industrial competitiveness.

Honestly, its like all the huge DDoS attacks by spoofed UDP packets. In both cases, their is already tech in place, that prevent you from forwarding packets for networks that are not 'under' you (BCP 38 came out in what, 2000?) But their is very little incentive for the provider to do the work.
> This is what people refer to when they say "ego death". Your ego is not dying, it's just that your consciousness has been relaxed to a point that you are capable of witnessing it for what it truly is.

A challenge in these conversations is that there’s still no real standardized way of speaking of these experiences. What you’re describing sounds like detachment to me which can vary to different degrees of course but what I would call “ego death” is the actual death of your ego, the dissolution of yourself: you stop existing and with it also any consciousness. In my experience there was really nothing left to witness in that situation as I was no more.
Probably an acquisition. In 2005, Macy's bought May Department Stores, which owned a large number of regional department stores. May liked letting each chain have their own identity, but Macy's just wanted everything in their business to bear the Macy's name, so after the May acquisition closed storied brands such as Marshall Field's, Foley's, and Robinsons-May disappeared off the face of the Earth.
If this would support a bluetooth PTT microphone, it would be perfect. Then I could leave the phone in my pocket and have tangible, physical buttons to record with. I don't like messing with a touchscreen when out and about.

Thanks. I have a Mikrotik HAP AC2 on order to (hopefully) replace my Buffalo Airstation wzr-600dhp (an ancient N). Once that proves itself I’ll get perhaps another AC2 to act as an AP. And will also look into replacing my Arris SB6141. Baby steps.

I haven’t delved into local speeds very closely. My home “server” is simply a pi4 with a WD mounted and shared across my network. I have navidrome on the pi for music and just use the file explorer for video. I sometimes have an issue when watching vids over wifi where the band simply stops being responsive and I have to switch over to 5ghz (or the other way). It’s strange, and my assumption is usually “spectrum is suspicious of something.”
I guess my secret is having almost no writes (the couple things I deployed with SQLite would see a dozen writes per month).

This is highly subjective, but I spectated a few games and the amount of shaking that is happening seems excessive to me. Maybe the kids are impressed by all the shaking going on, but I find it hard to focus when the thing I'm focusing on keeps jumping around.

On a related note, I think screenshakes are extremely overused in indie games. It's so cheap to add that it cheapens the games.

- Threw a grenade? Boom. screenshake.
- Shot a bullet? Boom. screenshake.
- Picked up an item? Boom. screenshake.
- Let out a big sigh? screenshake.
- Physically shook your display? Double screenshake.
- Rolled your eyes at all the screenshakes? There's a screenshake for that too

In StarCraft, the screen didn't shake even if you dropped a nuke on someone else's base. I guess the good folks at Blizzard at the time didn't watch that one GDC talk, "Juice It or Lose It", so they had to come up with a different way to make a good game.

A reduce version seems quite okay to me though, and keeps it pretty functional-styled.

const groupByAge = people.reduce((previous, current) => {
if (!previous[current.age]) previous[current.age] = []
previous[current.age].push(current)
return previous
}, {})
Mongo and NoSQL, to me, are really symptoms of the Bootcamp craze that happened a few years ago.

It's way easier to understand than relational databases, can be simply browsed and retrieved as json (usefull when your only language is JS) and had good adapters for the cookie cutter frameworks used at the time. And you don't need to bother with a schema or joins.

There are use-cases for NoSQL but it's not a once size fits all solution.
It's a ponzi-scheme if there's no value behind the hype. it's not inherently a ponzi scheme. It's the same way in the current private equity start-up world just that only VC's and connected individuals are exposed to the all the risk and all the profit.

I only watched about the first half of the video, but I understand there is controversy whether this was an accident or a planned wreck. If so, I think there is an easy answer, he should just release the footage of when the engine started to fail. There should be a good chunk of time where he is trying to restart, should also be genuine surprise when that happened and not a shot of him shutting the engine down. The youtube video (or at least the first half) didn't include that, only cut to a point where he has obviously decided to jump. He may claim to have turned off the gopro on the dash, but there was a gopro on the left wing that was focused on the cockpit that should show his reaction.
You'd have to step in super early though, wouldn't you? If you have people at the level where reading about Pizzagate will make them a believer, I reckon you've already lost them. What leads them to that kind of thinking? Will a generic "the elites just look after themselves" feed that kind of thinking? Should we fact-check it and say that it's false because of some counter-example?

I have no idea when people get onto a slope that leads them to believing that reptilians are ruling the country, but I doubt that there's a right moment where you can hide content from them and not make them think "aha, they're trying to hide something from me ... I wonder what it is". At that level, I assume, there's a good chunk of paranoia involved, and paranoia doesn't really need a certain fuel.
Your very statement of "which is something we know is highly effective (purely from a physics point of view). " is misleading

As both this story, and the "fact checked" story (as well as the position of many others) is not really talking about masks at the physics level (though new data about omicron is placing that in question now as well) but masking as a POLICY

it may be true that masks themselves are effective, but due to human nature masking POLICIES, including masking POLICIES in schools are not. Human interactions with the mask have we have seen countless times are far far far from perfect, people pulling on the masks, masks around chins, removing the mask to cough or sneeze, etc. Children will be even less disciplined

So I dont think they are questioning the mask as a technical barrier to stop covid, they are questioning the masks as a public policy given that humans are involved

Those conditions are insufficient to cause the effect you think they should.
> Fact checking has been laughable from the beginning

This is the fundamental, core challenge of epistemology. Most people are staggeringly unintelligent. They suffer from such a deficit of basic critical thinking skills that they need to squeeze all the complexity of the world into a model in which experts have figured out The Absolute Truth and anyone wio disagrees needs to be brutally crushed, or in the modern world, simply silenced. (The similarity to the notions of scripture and heresy is 0% a coincidence).

The problem is that this model inevitably undermines its own foundations: the faith that a Science deity hands down truth on clay tablets is only sustained by a process of knowledge-generation that requires a full engagement with the nuance, uncertainty, and ambiguity inherent to trying to understand reality.

The simpletons for whom Believe in Science is a dogma are always going to be an obstacle to the process by which those with adult-level cognition _actually create the level of certainty we do have in societal knowledge_.

It's encouraging to see that the (obvious) contradictions of a centrally "fact-checked" social media ecosystem are already revealing themselves in ridiculous examples like this. But I'm probably too cynical to be convinced that we won't just blow through to a new equilibrium where an important conduit for communication has a content filter on it that boils down to "don't think things about sensitive topics that a layman would find 'weird' " .
You'd have to squint very very hard.

Certainly lots of people who used Flickr for free online photo storage are on Instagram today. But the social network aspect of Flickr was always pretty focused on the prosumer and, perhaps to a lesser degree, pro base who were willing to pay an annual fee.

It's not clear to me that Flickr (and now Flickr/Smugmug) could have co-existed on the same service as Instagram. So the Flickr could have been Instagram narrative, which if true would have been great for the founders, would also have been awful for the most serious users of the Flickr service.

It's an interesting consideration of privacy.

In a sense, nothing has changed by having these readers--your license plate was always visible. There was nothing stopping the city from hiring people to stand on a street corner and record the plate numbers that passed by.

Except the practicality of it, of course.

Im not going for or against it, it's just an interesting consideration of information being available, but unused.

We keep seeing this happen with arrest records, face recognition, etc. These are things that were always available, but technology simply made them more convenient or available at scale, even though nothing fundamental had changed.
