I have no vested interest in Kanye or his music - don’t really care for the person or his tunes (though I have no ill-will there) - but I don’t quite get this move. The device sounds like an interactive thing where you can remix the music a little bit or something? Not really sure. Sounds cool. But it’s weird to me why that’s the only way to get the album. Seems like it would be more like an additional device that you could purchase if you’re really into it. But if you just want the music, why can’t you just buy it somewhere.

He’s taking a stand against the music industry as it is today (almost all streaming and royalties are abysmal), I get it. And to some extent, I agree with it! It’s a noble cause. It just feels like his execution isn’t going to land the way he expects. Though I suppose he’s getting a lot of publicity out of it, so maybe that was the goal all along…
Scarcity breeds innovation. Why hand tune a compression scheme for a specific dataset when it is less storage efficient than LZ? You opt to not use LZ when all the memory and compute you have can barely run prefix codes.

That's why people still write for the Z80: it's a fun toy.
Takeout + store encrypted in AWS S3 or even Glacier? Preety cheap storage and supposedly high redundancy. I guess it's better to not use Gmail email address to create that AWS account.
The majority of SSL implementations do not support perfect forward secrecy in any form. The bare SSL standard itself has no room for it. You need at least TLS 1.3 to get any shot at PFS -- and then again most SSL standards allow for negotiation of at least slightly older protocols.

Plain SSL is also broken by NAT transversal. There's a chat protocol that does do something very similar to what you're asking: Ricochet Refresh. Ricochet Refresh spawns a Tor hidden service and provides an API via it and no text logging. Tor's transit mechanism always has confidentiality, authenticity, deniability, and perfect forward secrecy. https://www.ricochetrefresh.net/

Unfortunately there are no mobile clients for this.

I did enjoy Migadu and want to support them, but I had more than one important business email get filtered on the receiving end as spam because of the host. I found myself having to check in with people on sensitive matters to ensure they got my email, which is not a great look.

This was back in the free tier days (though I had a paid account), so maybe its improved now.

I understand this is demoralizing and infuriating for indie devs. And indie devs are the kind of devs I want to support, so I really side with them.

That said, for me this is the real insight (said by a dev from Vlambeer):

> "Ultimately, the big question is: what can you do to combat clones? And in reality there's not a whole lot you can do. Or what you can do could legally jeopardise how game development works for future generations."

> "If flying in a game was protected, then Luftrausers wouldn't exist"

Ultimately almost every act of creativity has some core of... let's not call it stealing, let's call it "creative borrowing without asking for permission". That's how it works, authors take from what has come before.

If, trying to protect indie devs from annoying copycats, we end up enforcing a draconian system, only lawyers will be happy.
Plausible deniability all the way around, at least for scandals like spending millions on homes.

I haven't written any Swift, or D but as I understand it Swift just chooses to do reference counting everywhere. Maybe it at least factors out the places where this is a waste of everybody's time? I can't tell.

I don't see that as any kind of upside over Rust. It sounds like one of those "my first Rust project" codebases full of Arc<Thing> when Box<Thing>, Thing or sometimes even just &Thing would have been appropriate.

In fact this then makes me realise you consider "it has reference counted smart pointers" to be "automatic memory management" but then you say Rust is suited for situations where that isn't possible, does that mean you didn't know Rust has reference counted smart pointers (two kinds even)? Or does it mean you consider all of Rust above core to be superfluous (Rc is in alloc) ? Either way this makes very little sense.

And so I went back and now I'm also puzzling what you think Value Types are and why you believe that's relevant. Is the problem that you bumped your head and now you think Rust is Java ?
Can you elaborate? Were you using something like IMAP sync and having trouble or are you moreso talking about timelines and their comms?
> if your idea is copied so easily and consumers apparently can’t team the difference between your game and a clone, do you really have a viable product or were you just the first person to think of an easily commoditized idea?

You're diminishing the amount of research and effort that is frequently required to realise an easily commoditized idea. This is why patents exist.

Original game ideas are the product of thousands of hours of experimentation and playtesting. All of that time, effort, and creativity produces a fun mechanic which can often be cloned with ease.

Would you be saying this if we were talking about a non-entertainment product?

What if we were discussing, hypothetically, a novel user interface for medical software which a startup produced after conducting thousands of interviews with doctors across the globe? And then a better funded competitor got their hands on a copy of the software and just replicated the screens in a few weeks?

Or an AI research startup that spent years working on an innovative new model, only for a customer to yoink all the parameters/weights/configuration/whatever and release a competing product backed by a large company?

Where's the best way to get started with these community mods.

I have:

1. A Quest 2

2. A PC with an RTX 20XX graphics card (usually running Linux, but can boot into Windows 10) and USB C port

3. Beat Saber (standalone version)

I guess I need:

4. A long USB C cable (or the official one)?

5. Beat Saber for PC (best to buy on Oculus or Steam?)

6. Some instructions for finding, installing and using these community mods.

Is there a particular place (e.g. Reddit community) that's the best place to find 'getting started' info?

It's so bizarre to read a positive article about a gaming company that I had to re-read it just to make sure I wasn't missing some lurking terrible part.

From what it says here they'll still use contract work for short term things, but most of these contractors who have functionally already been working full-time will now officially be full-time employees. That's really cool imo.

Freeman Dyson gets a free pass.

Dyson was writing at a time before people were thinking about controlled fusion as a way to generate power. Furthermore, he projected not building, but growing a biosphere spread out around a star. The notion of constructing a thing to try to gather and convert all of a star's radiation is a radical corruption of his idea.

Finally, he posited this development in the near term, while humanity remains far short of any capability that could actually be called advanced, with nothing better to hand than genetic engineering and dumb rockets.

Indeed you have become one of those "lightning strikes". What would have convinced you that it was a real possibility though?

Even reading this post, many readers are will also just assume the same as you did, that it was a lightning strike and will never happen to them... Not sure i have a solution myself.

> I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that Git is distributed.

I think it does since meta-data increases merge complexity, which is probably a headache when dealing with a distributed system. With a centralized system, you are basically creating a lock when you do a rename/copy/etc. which doesn't translate well to distributed systems.

With Git as it is currently implemented, you only need to worry about one state which is the tree. With meta-data, the number of states that needs to be tracked can increase significantly.

Having said all of that, I guess it probably wouldn't be too hard to implement a layer on top of Git that ensures every directory has something like a .git.meta file and have hooks that ensures all renames,copies,etc. are recorded in the meta-data file.

On a related note, I’ve commented earlier about this. I didn’t like the way Migadu dropped the free tier when the pandemic was raging, with a short notice. From that experience, I can’t bring myself to trust it. I really appreciate the pricing that’s not per user/mailbox, but there’s more to a business than just pricing.

Mxroute provides a similar service that’s not based on users/mailboxes and is cheap enough for multiple domains and multiple mailboxes.

For those concerned with privacy and data stored in certain countries, Mxroute stores data in the U.S. (like Fastmail) and Migadu stores data in France (a 14 eyes country) even though the company is incorporated in Switzerland. Migadu also does/did not encrypt data at rest (as of a couple of years ago). So any seizure of its servers in France means your data could be exposed.
(disclaimer, ive worked on fortnite as an engineer) 100% this. There would much to say as to why this is the case on fortnite but Ill just say this: fortnite is so big that the development methodology and patterns used shows their limits. One of them being that the game design team decide the features and the engineers code. Instead the two deps should be collaborating to ellaborate solution that are both simple in terms of engineering and relevant for the customers. The best example of that is world of warcraft. Wow is extremely efficient in terms of engineering and yet super fun. What Im saying is that sometimes the engineering dep should prevent a feature from being coded, at least the way the designers see it. Or you end up with a pile of crappy code. I would even go further: the engineers should say first what is possible and whats not. Think ID software: Carmack decides whats running and then the designer try to make a game with that. Add collaboration to this core idea and you get WoW (disclaimer I have not worked on WoW but ID software touch is definitely there impersonated by John Cash).

> It would be a big help to show the elevation wherever I'm pointing — either with a miniature scale or a number or both

It’s not obvious, but I just discovered that there’s a scale on the very right of the screen. Not quite as good as an interactive tooltip (especially since I’m colourblind), but useful nonetheless.
I completely agree on the pricing front. Migadu’s pricing (like Mxroute’s) is good for those who need multiple mailboxes.

> They're run by real people in Switzerland.

Please note that the data centers used by Migadu are in France. This may be a concern for some people who are looking to avoid 14 eyes countries.
Might I add that you are also now underpaid. I had a sweet gig at a very small company where I had to manage contractors in addition to FTE staff. The good contractors billed $300 an hour for BA and project management services alone. The story munchers billed $150 an hour.

I had to leave a contracting gig recently because we were tasked with everything...literally everything. Everyone got so burnt out--FTEs included. I also might add that the developers could have spoken up and gotten relief but their misguided work ethic prevented that.
I agree, but I haven’t found any decent cheat sheet resources discussing problems in all these dimensions. Got any ideas? Open to textbooks as well.

Sorry everyone and thanks everyone for the sentiments. I have been advised not to write anything public about this further.

What you are describing is not employment. Rather, you are describing activities that produce crypto.

For example, miners are getting paid in crypto. OK, but what are they using to buy the computers they use and to pay electric bills and the like? I'm guessing is is hard currency...

Beat saber is not an exercise program. It's a rhythm game.

It's not a criticism of the game to say that all of its design elements aren't conducive to a good workout. Novice players will move their arms much more than they have to. As you get better at the game you will probably learn to move your arms less.

This is my point. Playing better tends to result in exercising less. Saying you'll just play suboptimally to get more exercise is counterintuitive and will probably not work as it will force you to ignore all of the feedback that the game gives you, e.g. score and missing blocks.
I'll go further. Tesla has decided (correctly?) that there is enough money in it for them to push that line. The chemistry set manufacturers decided that there isn't enough money.
OP, I can’t help except upvote the post for visibility. But if or when you get those videos, I hope you’d move to a platform that works for its customers (who are the users). In the case of YouTube, your wife was not the customer. Continuing to support such abusive platforms once any rogue bot activity is controlled would be harmful.

Edit: I just read one of the OP’s comments about backups not being there and how that should’ve been planned. Please disregard the below paragraph, OP. I’m still leaving it around for others.

Also, please always have backups of videos uploaded anywhere for sharing. I get that this may be irritating to read right now, but data that’s not stored on one’s hardware cannot be trusted to be around for long.

For a few years now, I've tried enabling IPv6 at home (not exclusively, just dual stack). Every time I do, I inevitably turn it off because something breaks (usually some website that pretends to have an AAAA record but then it times out and has to fall back to IPv4).

Until it's easy for nerds like me, I just don't see it taking off. So far I haven't found a compelling reason to spend the time to get it to work well, and it doesn't work well out of the box, so I see no reason to use IPv6.
Cheers. Edit in good health.
This is exactly why initiatives like coreboot and libreboot matter. [1]

Sadly since Intel ME was introduced, things went to shit real fast in terms of what UEFI / the BIOS does, allows or even supports. The embedded controllers are just as locked down by default as any other vendor's hardware. Same goes for the dependency on Intel's mrc.bin or microcode updates (ucode) that is unavoidable since Haswell/Ivy.

I'm waiting for a case in Europe that goes to court over this, because we have the right to repair. Without taking a case like this to court, nothing will change.

I haven't done any noodling with compression in some time and I'm tempted to sit down and try this. But I think he must be using a different list than I can find because the numbers don't quite add up.

Any time you are tasks with crushing the living daylights out of an unordered list, always, always look at suffix sorting as an option. It might not work out as useful, but it's frequently worth the cost of checking.

I will say that given that a delta encoding was settled on, bitpacking the words first is probably a mistake, and multiplication should have been used instead. For instance using multiplication you can store the words in 24 bits without chopping off the first character and using pointers to them. That may seem a small difference but it makes the deltas he's looking at narrower. So instead of choosing 8 words in 8 bytes versus 10 words in 8 bytes, it could be 8 vs 11, possibly 12.
I love claims like this headline that rely entirely on our inability to observe the clock after the stated interval. We can be pretty sure that the clock will not be working at all, let alone accurate, but we can't be certain. At least until we get claims in the trillion year range, at which point the heat death effect will make the claim even more unlikely.
You are subconsciously primed to. Your reptilian brain will consider somebody trustworthy before your logical brain overrides. That initial trustworthiness lingers. You aren't above this.
I have extensive experience in the outsourcing and contracting business for large institutions, and none of what you're saying is a refutation.

Of course lawsuits against suppliers are rare, because conflicts between suppliers and clients are resolved through contract law. When I was managing customers' servers we had specific SLAs and service metrics that if not attended to resulted in the supplier reimbursing the customer by a _nice_ amount. A Sev1 incident on mainframes that was attended to later than expected could cost tens of thousands to the supplier.

You point to government agencies, but you forget that the consumers of these services are also large Fortune500 companies with very explicit profit motives, cost-saving policies, and relatively effective IT departments. Large companies are as leery as governments of small suppliers for the same reasons. Is the argument valid considering that there are very competent organizations that hold the same reservations?
Can you suggest any resources for the information theoretic level explanation that you talk about? Do either of the Hastie-Tibshirani books cover it?

Wasn't me; I saw this link in my "Science News" app feed about 15hrs ago, was just a link and title that said "Mars Photo - Anyone [see] this, and can explain what it is?"

I thought it was pretty amazingly symmetric, but this tadpole-shaped rock looks like it could be sculpted by wind or water flow.

I'm not a geologist, but I know a bit about hydrodynamic. The Karmen Vortex Street (KVS) [1] is generated in the trailing flow arount a blunt object. I've also seen videos of a dead pike fish tethered to a blunt object in a flow and the fish shape self-aligns to the flow so well that the dead fish actually starts to "swim" upstream against the flow. Fish shapes and KVS's are related.

I guess my hypothesis would be that this tadpole like shape could have been formed by a persistent KVS flow.

However, it looks like a toy model that some little green person sat down there:)

While I'm no fan of cryptocurrency in general, it does seem like the space has plenty of people who understand security. The steady stream of high profile NFT hacks suggests none of them want to go near NFTs. If all the people NFTs are supposed to help won't touch them, and all the smart security people won't touch them, maybe there's a reason.
