> An attempt to measure the scope is here: https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope....

The methodology used there is horrendously bad. Drew's smart, so it's hard to conclude that this isn't intentional just so he can pump up the numbers and tell cute stories like the one about Wikipedia's list of longest novels. (Not to mention, an overabundance of specification of correct behavior isn't what makes implementation hard, it's trying to match the undefined behavior that everyone else follows without having a spec that makes things hard.) Any serious attempt to measure the scope of what browsers actually implement is pretty straightforward, so there's no real excuse: you start with the the HTML5 spec and then go from there.
Microsoft: Office for Mac Update with Full Apple Silicon Support in Excel
While I mostly agree with you, I think Microsoft is doing this to compete directly with Sony's plethora of studios to offer more AAA titles on Xbox and Windows exclusively — so from that light, it's not entirely a bad thing.

We already know that Bethesda is keeping their autonomy to make the same great games we love from them, and Starfield is a chance to prove it. The only downside being: Playstation owners losing out on playing what may end up being among the most popular titles in the next 5-10 years if Starfield and TES6 are a success.
Facebook's and other providers' moderation policies could differ a lot from yours. But these are the platforms where you can usually enable a form of parental control at least. Videos of people dying, like in an accident or war, might be at least real, but potentially still very damaging because of the lack of narrative. Another issue comes when the video also contains narrative: for example when they distance you from what you just saw, by saying how the people deserved death, were a lesser kind of people, and so on.

Regarding the overweight / underweight problems, do you think that all the over and underweight people, and proper weight people who still battle some eating disorder, just missed a good hour of talking to? I wonder what you'd say to them.

It’s tautological at this point to say that any behavior arose from an evolutionary standpoint.

It’s conveniently tautological because it’s impossible to prove or disprove without time travel :)

A more interesting conversation which is also impossible to prove/disprove is whether there is any behavior that isn’t just behavior/instinct. It sure feels like it with consciousness, but if humans are weights and biases, it was inevitable that I typed this :)

That’s not how it works.

But even beyond that you have the math wrong. Andromeda galaxy is only 2.5 million light-years from Earth. To get a 1 day difference in time dilation across 2.5 million years would take 1 in 913 million difference which someone traveling at even 100MPH (45m/s) isn’t going to see. (1 - (45^2/((3x10^8)^2))^0.5 simply isn’t enough.
I don't know what the 5th highest reviewed title of all time that was made available on a popular platform selling well tells me about the state of AAA as a whole to be honest. One data point, for a game considered a masterpiece of the last generation (so the decade), doesn't say a whole lot.

The Avengers was a large AAA game from the world's most popular media franchise and it recently tanked. "That should tell you everything you need to know..."
(dreaming big here) You could make this a basis for a generic conversational UI[1] for web data. It wouldn't be a perfect UI for most applications, but it provide a couple of important features:

1. It would be easy to manage data sharing. Post updates to data in channels that the relevant people have access to.

2. It would be easy to debug data changes. I could see it becoming the equivalent of a terminal app but for the web.

Games is one of the places where I think there's a low enough barrier to entry such that some of the classic antimonopoly economics kick in. There are wildly successful games from one person studios all the way up to the huge AAA developers.
In my view, the issue is short term memory among voters and frustration with the political class and its inability to do do much at all. Since the other team is in office right now, people don’t like them.
It requires Ableton (there might be unofficial integrations with other DAWs). I have an Akai Force which is completely standalone, not even a computer needed. But I'd honestly recommend Ableton+Push unless someone really needs it to be standalone.
Tech solution: iCloud, which mirrors them across all devices, then automatic backups of a Mac and a PC where those files are stored into a RAID nas.

Non tech solution: I just print everything. I refill canon cartridges, making the cost of ink negligible and buy cheapish 4x6 photo paper, and I just print like crazy. After some basic calibration, the prints are quite good enough. I guess longevity of the aftermarket inks is still to be seen. Wife enjoys just picking up some prints to send friends and family. She snaps a pic of whatever she sent, and I reprint those.

"The book is remarkable for two reasons—it is the only novel Twain wrote with a collaborator, and its title very quickly became synonymous with graft, materialism, and corruption in public life."

It only took me 2 seconds to find out that the term was ironic.
To add to this, another mathematical term to be familiar with is "isomorphism". It quite literally means showing that two structures are the same, and perserve the same binary relations (coming from modern Algebra).

If you can show that domain A is isomorphic to domain B, then all of the things you know how to do for domain A can be trivially applied to domain B. Thinking about solving problems in terms of isomorphisms has been tremendously helpful for my day-to-day problem solving.
Flat-earthers already "changed" the physics of light propagation. I guess they would have no troubles bulls*tting their way out of gravity as well because none of them has actually the math/physics/etc basics to prove themselves wrong (what's a lab anyway, a brainwashing tool of the lying elite?).

IMHO, adding an FX pedal to a synth rig is one of the easiest, simplest ways to upgrade that synth and give it a new echelon of dynamics.

I also have to say that the Zynthian is probably one of the best modules for this you can find, but that would definitely be a degree of complexity higher than the article tries to maintain. Still, an amazing FX box that really pushes the value of the F/OSS FX/DSP community (http://zynthian.org/)

I'd also link it a little to the '08 crash and the invasion of Tech by Finance types. But that's becoming ancient history.
They're also the "legit" channel for corporate espionage (or, research sharing, if you prefer), especially for processes and such. They didn't make up that "best practice" they're teaching you now—they stole it from your competitor. They'll figure out if you're doing anything better than them and clue them in on their next engagement. And the wheel keeps on turning.
Mindfulness (what you’re basically describing) does not conflict with memento mori. When you realize that this tomato could be the last tomato you’ll be eating, having the conversation with your kid be the last conversation you’ll be having etc etc you’ll fully appreciate each moment in life as if it could be your last.
Think of Valheim too — a team of 5 made one of the best selling titles of 2021 with a 95% rating on Steam to this day. That's freaking impressive!
Another question is - what stimuli, changes in environment, or thought patterns affect dopamine levels and reuptake, and how? Also how do other neurotransmitters attenuate or floor/ceiling our behavior gamut in a way which modifies how we react to or are informed by dopamine levels and their rate of change.

Essentially, if dopamine can be boiled down to a single lever, then I think that lever has as many buttons as a Formula 1 steering wheel.
> So the game is CLEARLY not yours.

What's important to me, and to most gamers, is whether I can play a game for the duration of time that I desire to do so. So when I'm looking at D2 resurrected, I'm thinking something like this:

"If I buy this game, the longest I'd probably play it for is about a year. In future years I may return to it for briefer and briefer windows, asymptotically decreasing toward zero minutes per year as time approaches infinity. I think it's likely that Blizzard will keep the servers running for at least 20 years based on past performance. What is the area under the curve outside of twenty years proportional to the total value I intend to extract from the game?"

For me, I estimate the area at around 0. Even if I thought that a tenth of my total playtime would occur outside the initial 20 year window (extremely unlikely and generous estimate -- probably nobody exists like this), what is the present value of that future enjoyment? At a 4% discount rate and a fifty dollar initial purchase, the present value is $3. There's just not enough there for most people to be bothered about.
It's the usual pattern.

One party blows everything up. The other gets elected to fix it. That turns out to take longer than 2-4 years, especially with opposition and a thin margin in House and Senate, so the party that broke things campaigns on how bad things are now (due to their own actions).
>>In the 4th quarter, we recorded one crash for every 4.31 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology (Autosteer and active safety features). For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology (no Autosteer and active safety features), we recorded one crash for every 1.59 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

The ratio of accidents per mile driven is 8 human accidents per software accident. It doesn't account for reduced injury and damage in accidents that do happen, or other indirect benefits (or costs. )

Your assertion that the use of driving automation is scandalous is just wrong.

I don't think they will. There's no point. There is a stable duopoly, where Microsoft can reap the benefits of competition between the two, without wasting any resources.

May not be best for consumer - really great for business. (especially, if courts hold that Apple/Google cannot outright ban apps from their stores)
The F-4 story is a bit more nuanced than that.

The issue wasn't that the F-4 didn't have a cannon, but that it was assumed that homing missiles would make teaching the art of dogfighting obsolete. This was proven to be a disastrous mistake. However once SFTI program (AKA TOPGUN) was established, the now much better trained American pilots had established a clear lead in air to air victories.

We know that it wasn't the lack of a gun because a gun pod was developed for the F-4. The ratios of victories to losses of the gun pod equipped F-4's was worse than those without.
> You were able to read open source code and learn from it, taking advantage of a lot of effort its authors put into it (who knows, maybe you even stumbled on some of my work out there?).

I knew you were going to fixate on that, as you’re grasping at straws, which is why I put it in there. The amount of source code I read was one project, a php web framework. Yea I learned about 2 things from it back then, which I’ve long forgotten now.

We keep all of our pictures on an external USB hard drive. At least once a month or after a large addition of pictures I back it up to my NAS ~30TB in the basement using rsync. That backup gets sent a few hundred miles away to a server (really, just an ancient, headless desktop running Debian tucked under a family member's desk!) with a large HD (12TB) via Syncthing. Syncthing is set to be one-way, pushing changes from my backup to the remote server only.

The odd part is that Boeing originally proposed a 100MHz guard band. It's literally twice the headroom a major manufacturer suggested for this purpose.
Check out the Zynthian, it is a monster of an FX box and has a lot of quality stuff built in - plus, it has the ability to host VST's and in fact is set up to do that out of the box for the PianoTec VST's, so it may not be that difficult a stretch to get Valhalla running under Zynthian, too .. and once it is, you'll find yourself in a whole universe of power. ;)

> Why wouldn't Steam continue to be competitive against Game Pass?

Game pass is significantly cheaper, unless you buy very few games on steam (and/or only buy them on deep, deep sale. Which doesn't really exist anymore in any meaningful way).
If you look at best-selling console games by year, [0, only goes up to 2019] you can see that the list since about 2001 is dominated by sports games and Call of Duty, with the odd exception (usually a Rockstar game).
While the gaming discourse has turned against these titles, they are consistently the most popular. If anything, I’m actually flabbergasted that Rockstar was able to turn a Wild West drama into the best selling game of 2018, as it feels so different (that is, less cartoonish) to anything else on the list.

The fact of the matter is that the people who talk about games make up a small portion of the total group of people who play games. AAA still exists because it still rakes in cash, year over year.

Are you familiar with Miller or do you come by your understanding of him just from this piece? Because Miller is like, on the vanguard of the "comics for adults" movement. It would be like saying Salvador Dalí is known for his surrealist work; it hardly needs a cite.
That just introduces infinite regress [1] into the mix. In order to justify why that would introduce free will you now need to justify why the substance itself has free will. It's not a solution.

I mostly agree, but aim-120s are hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and each plane only carries about ten. toe-to-toe, a drone has no chance against a modern fighter, but fighters are an extremely inefficient counter to a fleet of cheap drones.

of course, how to get the swarm of cheap drones to a distant target is also an unsolved problem.

Plus one to this. A Blu-ray is durable, maintenance free and most importantly extremely common. Anyone can use one and this will likely be true for a long time. There will be people around who can get data off Blu-ray’s for an exceedingly long time.

Talk about failing upwards.
It's pretty rough for historians, archivists, and curators too. Can you imagine if books became unreadable twenty years after publication because >99.9% of readers will have moved on from the book by that point? Or if every painting, sculpture, photograph, or musical recording self-destructed in the same time period?

At this point I think it's fair to say that games are cultural artifacts. We should be at least a token amount of interested in making it possible to preserve them.
this could easily be the worst part about the acquisition
Looks interesting, well done for launching and good luck.

One question - not as a potential customer but as just another founder - how are you offering 24 hour a day support? Do you have a remote team that just naturally covers enough time zones or have you specially hired people or a service for this? It looks really impressive for a new product to launch with 24 hour support! I’d love to do this with my services but not a big enough team yet...
Neither MayTag or SpeedQueen seem available here in Denmark - at least if I check it on pricerunner.dk, I knew both brands but that was because of having grown up in the U.S.

This isn’t an accident. It’s an intentional pattern that creates a ratchet effect. Dems are quite happy to keep many things in place that they could easily reverse. Policies continuing to exist don’t get much press, so they don’t have to give the game away in getting what they want.

On a year to year basis it’s difficult to see. But look over decades: this is a party that not only failed to advance anything building on the New Deal, but failed at every step to arrest its complete demolition.

If you really believe that the reason the dems can’t accomplish anything is because of Manchin, Sinema, The Parliamentarian, or $WEEKLY_SCAPEGOAT_NAME, I’m sorry to say you’re a mark. It’s like that Key & Peele “hold me back” skit.
Nintendo yes. But they've long been a closed, relatively niche ecosystem. Their entire market cap is less than the value of this deal.

Sony, perhaps. But I do think the cloud platform is a critical piece, because it is a huge source of value capture (e.g., all CoD compute on Azure is no small deal). It also allows significantly more dominance in distribution via cloud gaming - and coincidentally, Microsoft has been much more aggressive about owning distribution with Xbox Game Pass. This is all on top of the fact that Microsoft influences the PC and console markets, not just the console market.
One of the parties has been branded as the “Lockdown party” during covid. So long as there is a collective with the view that closing people’s businesses at any given time, indefinitely, without recourse, is acceptable - we can expect an endless stream of voters rushing to the other side of the aisle.

Speak to right wingers and you’ll find that many will tell you they weren’t convinced by some right wing youTuber. It’s often the policy or rhetoric of the left that drove them away.

A specific example in 2021, lockdown policies of the left may have had a far more profound impact on pushing people away than any random guest on Joe Rogan.
This is also ignoring a crucial aspect of human behavior: we have moved past simple evolutionary optimization. Our behaviors can now change very rapidly due to spoken and written language. In The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins called this "memetics". E.O. Wilson also wrote about this, I think referring to it as "culture" (I don't remember in which book, sorry). Evolution is still necessary for understanding human behavior, but it is not sufficient by itself.
I think this was one of the few good Twitter threads. Each Tweet was a kind of step from the previous, towards the next.

The only thing I think would be improved by having this in blogpost form is more interact-able visuals, equations and similar.
The last attempt at this by Intel engineers is sitting on my desk somewhere, it was a DRM laden chip that completely bombed, there's pretty likely pallets of them in a warehouse somewhere.
Pretty sure Nintendo operates their cloud platform as well, though it's hardly comparable as it only offers NES + SNES roms.
Not that it's going to do any better but more relevant figure is the percentage of routers... those client devices just accept configuration from the upstream network.
> For example, it is well known that an iCloud hack leaked the photos of many celebrity women and was dubbed "the fappening", only possible because they were stored in a viewable format without e2e.

I thought the 2014 iCloud hack was because attackers tricked users into revealing their passwords, not because Apple's iCloud service itself was compromised. If that's true, e2e would not have made a difference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_celebrity_nude_photo_leak

(Of course it's definitely possible for a service itself to be hacked wholesale, in which case e2e would help.)
Free will might be hard to define but it has plenty of very well-defined corollaries. For example, if there is such a thing as free will, it would not be possible to reliably predict a human being's actions in advance.
There's a difference between "native" MS studios from before the current aquisition wave and recent acquisitions made to bolster GamePass. Last I checked Deathloop did release on Playstation, at least.

For those companies that have sufficiently consumed the Atlassian Kool-Aid, what differentiates this product from just using Confluence? Confluence has pretty robust widgets/embedding options, plus there's the plugin ecosystem to unlock embedding external things like designs/etc. And obviously it easily connects to jira for tickets.
I’ve never understood why people are so willing to give up what they’ve earned for people who are not trying that just have their hand out. Why do we do it this way, those that want to help can pay the UBI tax and receive the payments. The rest of us that don’t want it can never receive it but also don’t have to pay. Why don’t we do that instead?

Also I’m a Navy veteran. I can’t tell you how many times I can back from deployment to see actual hatred from these people I had never met, who I was defending their freedom for. The idea of helping others is gone after 1) I already did by defending their freedom and 2) most people here are assholes only thinking of themselves, so i joined them.
