It's subsidies all the way down.

EA's new patent analytics is more than just about in-game advertising
EA's new patent about player analytics is more than just about in-game advertising and something that all video game developers, even in web3 and metaverse gaming should pay attention to.

The new persona patent from EA underlines the importance and need for more detailed and nuanced classifications for player personae. Thus helping game developers to make more informed decisions based on reactions to gameplay mechanics.

Track and trace, including the free covid tests and the staff on the phone lines, cost about £40bn. There is a lot of spending inefficiency in government spending, including that programme, but to suggest that the app cost that much is disingenuous.
This reminds me of Oliver Burkeman’s book Four Thousand Hours which is pretty good antidote to the hyper-productive, outcome-oriented mindset you’re talking about.

> so it picked the best moves on time? that's super cool. but how's it etiquette?

Having played GT since it's inception, and been involved in motorsports and used GT to learn a few tracks before GT Academy became a thing: on the track you have to have a certain degree of respect for your fellow riders/drivers, these are extremely dangerous machines capable of lots of harm from carelessness or even a simple mistake so being erratic makes you an extreme liability on track; in a game it's less so, and shunts without consequences don't require you to put forethought into an overtake on a banked/cambered turn or late breaking on an uneven/worn part of the track, or taking a certain line to prepare for another move 3 turns ahead etc... and I'm guess this AI has learned from this just like you would if you were about to make contact or potentially wreck on track which REALLY hurts.

The thing is, the crash may not even be the most damaging thing that happens because fights break out after a crash as well since so much adrenaline is pumping through your body and motorsports tends to attract lots of risk taking hot-heads--their are exceptions. So even if you think you are above learning the why, you will soon learn why it's practiced one way or another.

The etiquette component of on-track behavior is almost never present in online play because of that absence and it's why I've always had certain reservations with just assuming a person with sim only experience can be allowed on track with out some track experience before hand--sims are extremely useful and amazing in their feedback but it's not a full replacement. The Nismo GT Academy was cool because it combined both and made a few decent GT drivers in the process.

I think it's the old adage that 'slow is smooth, smooth is fast and speed is the economy of motion' which has allowed many smoother drivers/riders who use this to excel in their field and dominate: Alain Prost, Jorge Lorenzo come to mind.
However cool nuclear sounds...you might want to look at crew sizes on a modern container ship (20 to 30 total, all departments, and trending downward). Then compare that (and their education & training levels) with what you'd need to operate a nuclear reactor 24x7. With good reliability and ~no mega-expensive accidents.

Ask HN: Can I vent a portable AC into a thermos flask?
I've been wondering, would it be possible to vent an AC into a thermos flask, thereby thermally isolating the vented air/vapour from the rest of the room?

I understand that I'd need to "empty" the thermos often, but would this theoretically work?
> While this is highly likely and essentially agreed upon by all experts on the matter

Can you cite this?

I can't see anything on this.

It's not something a chess champion would know on their own for instance.

Basically you have to get a good understanding that the advantage of being white can't be leveraged enough to win.

Obviously it can't be proved, but to even get an idea will be very mathematical or computational.
You're being pedantic. Odds are your brain parsed the article from visual input not audio. It could go either way depending on which linguistic hard line you want to take.
If you're in a detached head state and create a new commit, you have a commit that isn't on a branch. The commit still has a parent, so it's not the branch that's tracking the sequence, it's the commit. Branches are just pointers that get updated as you add commits.

Sometimes people make excuses for bluetooth. Like "it can do so many things, that's why it's so complex and can get bugs".

No. Just no.

99.999% of use cases is "get audio to my headphones, and possibly from its mic too".

20 years and we can't even get the primary use case to work.

If this were about setting up some esoteric "I can't believe bluetooth can do this" feature, then maybe.

But just get audio to work. That's it. This is not fusion power, yet seems to be as hard for the people implementing it.
International sport federations are non-profits and follow own statutes. While many sports federations banned russian and belorussian athletes and officials, they had to do it within the legal boundaries and their statutes. For example, the reasoning ISU (International Skating Union, second oldest sport federation) gave on banning russians is "...we obliged to protect athletes during event, so because of war, russian and Ukrainian athletes can have a fight or situation that endangers them, thus we ban russians from participation or officiating...". During ISU Congress in June 2022 they voted if russians should be allowed to officiate on Congress, take official positions (including potentially heading positions) in ISU and in Congress, and they haven't reached two thirds needed.

So it's simply not easy "just to replace a president". You need to follow organization regulations and rules. Large international organizations normally have a lot of institutional inertia and rarely even have unified vision and position on many aspects, unfortunately.

>>Carlsen clearly feels that the World Championship is not important enough to sacrifice a large chunk of his career for.

Which other tournaments are considered like the top levels of Chess competition, and what are the criteria for being the top chess player in the world(If not winning the world championship)?
What? France surrendered because they realized they would lose the war whatever they did. Also Vichy France was very much Catholic right-wing.
The prices seem reasonable for a dedicated server.

That means a little above EUR 4000 for 2 years, which is around the minimum that would be paid for a server with Epyc or Xeon of similar capacity (when you assemble it yourself, at Dell or HP it would be much more expensive).

The equivalence with Epyc/Xeon also depends a lot on the intended applications, for scientific computing a 32 cores/64 threads Epyc/Xeon might have a similar performance, while for a Web server or database server a 64 cores/128 threads Epyc might be needed to exceed the performance of the 80-core Altra CPU, and a server like that might cost as much as 4 years of renting.

So if you buy your own server and you use it for at least 5 years, then you would certainly spend much less than when renting.

However, renting a server like this can cost less when you are not certain over long-term perspectives and it also has the advantage that there is no large one-time payment.

Is this what they call skimpflation? Get worse quality for the same money.

Not being facetious here, this is what happens when you have a logistics expert running your company instead of a boneheaded designer that doesn't accept compromises easily.

Cook has great experience optimising the supply chain and costs, and this is what you get, his team probably figured out they could save a hundredth of a cent per laptop by applying a thinner layer of paint on the bodywork.
+1 for this. It is a 'cool' name but this choice has problems.

As a practical illustration, it'll cause confusion when searching for 'carbon programming' or 'carbon apis' on $SEARCH_ENGINE. It isn't current but I would wager that there is still a lot of legacy Carbon code in the Macspace. This won't help the poor devs tasked with maintaining it. Unless they rewrite it in Carbon. See?

We in the trade also know how important it is to avoid giving things confusing names, and how frustrating it is when you find some garbled or ambiguous variable name while debugging or enhancing code. The same principle applies to naming your language too.
People choose computer languages but natural languages get chosen for them.
This happens with all networking.

The most well-funded companies oscillate between "trying to get ahead" by hacking in "whatever's next" and selling that to people and "just blowing off the spec" because they're not getting paid enough. This is a sedementary process because of whatever business-related adage stops them from rewriting their code.

The next awful bit is what happens to the spec itself. We show up in Vegas at the Bluetooth conference in the hottest July on record. No one can share any vision about what this thing is supposed to do, or replace, so everyone just sneezes into the multithousand page specification.

The multithousand page specification is actually a paid affair as well, and it's inefficient, confusing, poorly organized, and loooooong, so everyone just ends up building what they think the spec "sounds like."

Even better, there's a deadline creeping up, because there's a rumor that Competitor B is pushing out their part of the stack in November, and even if we pay the unbelievable fee to the FCC to get expedited treatment, it's still a 2 month wait, if it's approved -- not to mention legal's checks.

...at least, that's what it looks like to an outsider.
> 'Even getting them to pay for insurance is hard enough, how difficult do you think it'd be to get them to pay £10k fine?'

In a lot of cases the fine for having no insurance is lower than the insurance would have cost.

In other words, the system is seriously f*d up and needs to be changed.
Yeah that sucks. I graduated collage in 2008 and I refused to get a phone before that point. The amount of people complaining how it is inconvenient that they have to call your room phone instead of texting, how they can't make plans(in reality, it is a crutch for lack of planning), etc.

For a while, it was the same with Facebook.
I think the data actually shows the highly accomplished, focused, and productive folks have lower divorce rates. Whether that correlates to happier marriages may be another issue.
Careless deference to the 2nd amendment (more generally, deference to "the constitution") is among the reddest flags you can throw.
That's an insightful way to think about it. I just realized we're operating under large scale Feudalism?

Poor people work 1 day/week (or so inefficiently that it should be considered 1 day/week), and therefore should be paying a 100 tax. Exactly what I was saying.
imo it's more crazy that people thought of tracking users by using a font in the first place. The level of human ingenuity that has gone into spying on people is staggering.
It’s amazing how fingerprinting is making the browser worse on every possible front and the best we can do is propose making it even worse.
It might be worth mentioning a famous abdication which caused a lot of consternation, albeit in another game. I love this story but may have gotten some details wrong.

Marion Tinsley was world checkers champion from 1955-1958, then took a break, then again from 1975-1991, when he resigned in protest (at age 64). He was utterly dominant; indeed it is hard to think of a competitor in all of history more dominant over his sport or game than Tinsley.

In 1990 Tinsley decided to play Chinook, the best checkers computer program in the world. Chinook had placed second at the US Nationals so it had the right to enter the world championships, but the US and British checkers federations refused to allow it.

So Tinsley resigned his title. Tinsley then played Chinook in an unofficial match (which he won).

This power play really stuck it to the federations: nobody wanted to be named the new world champion knowing Tinsley was fully capable of crushing them. Eventually everyone came to an agreement to let Tinsley be the "champion emeritus".

Tinsley played Chinook four years later, at age 68, still probably the best player in the world. But in the middle of the match he complained of stomach pains and withdrew after only six games (of 20), all drawn. Tinsley's pains were real: he later died of pancreatic cancer.
Didn’t notice that. Thanks for pointing that out. I can’t recall a recent piece of regulation that had that provision so this will be interesting to see if it works in reality.
But like, I would expect similar headlines from all around the world had this been true. Meanwhile, the one place you see these news from extraordinary often is America. (Second runner are former ISIS territories where they terrorist attract girls schools occasionally.)
Yeah, Paris isn't good for comparisons with the rest of France. My French colleague insists that Paris should not be considered part of France! :)

I don't understand why they don't just ship a huge set of fonts by default. I'm probably missing some licensing bullshit, but look at Google Fonts and all the amazing fonts there. They're called open source fonts. Is there anything stopping firefox et al from just bundling them, or at least downloading them on-demand from a trusted server (not google)?

It would be lovely if all web developers could just assume that the entirety of google fonts is at their disposal in a native way without having to resort to webfonts and the overhead that brings.
> I'm not sure how a link to an alternate platform can be placed on YouTube with any kind of reach.

Assuming explicit links are disallowed (didn't check) the link could be exported as a torrent hash; it's not a link per se but search engines would find it, and they usually have a pretty long lifetime.

As an example, the following hash:
2E28D47963BF639EDAADCA33583546B39156D62D

Brings a 10+ years old Debian Linux image. The file would probably be dead now, also younger hashes are a lot easier to find, but all we need is the hash leading somewhere.

There are other ways to embed links in a video; for example either a barcode-like pattern on video, or short fsk sequence embedded in audio, that could be translated on the fly by a browser extension into ad address and lead there without any user intervention.
You might be right, but your comments fail the "common decency" standard.

I don't think we should shun secure protocols because they make it harder for us to "hack" devices that we don't control.

Instead I think we should embrace the secure option and use it as a wake up call that it isn't worth saving $50 for a Smart TV that shows ads and we should choose devices that respect us so that we can be secure and not be abused.
30 days before your subscription expires, teamviewer send you a friendly email to remind you to that your subscription expires in 30 days and to be sure to renew before then in order to not lose service.

What that email does not tell you is that unless you cancel your subscription at least 30 days (ie on that very day) before your sub expires they will renew you automatically and demand a full year's subscription under threat of legal proceedings.

Personally I believe that the purpose of this email is to lull you into a false sense of security that you can just let your subscription lapse instead of renewing when that is far from the case.
>I haven’t examined archived versions of the TeamViewer website; it might have used the font in the past.

That seems the most likely explanation. That it was once used somewhere in TeamViewer, no longer is, but is still packaged. I don't think there's a real conspiracy involved.
In the world of build systems, I think most people want a little more consistency and a little less innovation. Sometimes a tool should just do its job and broadly resemble other tools in the space.
My grandmother, who was a child in ww2 and experienced extreme resource scarcity after the war, would keep a lot of potted/preserved food in the cellar. After she passed, we didn't really see that as useful and dumped it all (it didn't appear particularly edible to us - maybe if you're starving.)

What I mean by that is, people probably only keep what is useful to them. And if your collection is seen as useful to some people in a couple decades isn't really easy to tell. Depends on the circumstances I'd say.
Midsummer is a holiday, not "middle of summer". Midsummer also happens at the beginning of summer.
As long as it's all in memory, that's fair game. Everybody at the high level is using engines for training/preparation.

This is balanced by the fact that the sheer number of possible lines is huge. Too big for any human to "remember" them all.

It's also not enough to memorize "good" moves from an engine perspective. "Good" engine moves and "good" human moves are different things.

An engine might see a move as "good", because it calculated 50 moves down the line and found an advantage. This means that you'd have to play the next 49 moves in a very precise manner to reach this advantage. One way to think about it, is that there are multiple positions that are analyzed as "draw" by en engine, but 9 grandmasters out of 10 will see one side winning. That's because one side would need to play perfectly, while the other side has much higher tolerance for mistakes (engine assume perfect play on both sides).

TLDR: engine is fair game, during preparation. It's a big deal, it transformed high level chess, but it didn't break the game, and is unlikely to do so.
I feel you man...

The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone) must be our most listened Song of all time.
They are all faint galaxies, so any estimates on their baryonic mass are in the "challenge your assumptions" regime. And that "line" is pretty spurious, if I'm reading the paper correctly they are saying the chance of the line happening randomly is 0.6% -- not very low, the sky is a huge place. the bullet galaxy that has the "rest of the dark matter" hasn't been found.
I think you’re trivializing the effect that shipping costs have on every day necessities. Far more trucks haul produce and other groceries around my neighborhood than ‘fast fashion’, and as we are seeing right now significant increases in those prices have an outsized effect on the most vulnerable.
In some states, marriage gives additional rights regarding children. It’s weird, but I think some areas give maternal grandparents more rights than a biological father if something happens to an unmarried mother.
I'd prefer a man page than having to install separate tool :)
The interesting bits, for me, are the imaging scans which are expensive and slow and you need more than one for comparison per subject.

Secondly the 'covert treatment' aspect, and as far as I know only Hjorth et al. do in any reasonable numbers is the giving someone the treatment and usual and tell them it's a placebo and they "shouldn't expect to get better".

It's ethically tricky to do that with an anxiety disorder but I imagine a doctor telling someone with depression that will be painfully close to "you're not getting better", "we're not going to help you" and other quite rejecting disheartening ideas.

But plain placebo controlled SSRI trials I think show about a 0.2 absolute benefit in SSRIs in depression. i.e. if you compare SSRI with placebo you need to treat 5 people with SSRI to see one more person respond. If you compare SSRI with no treatment, you only need to treat 3 people with depression, to have 1 more respond. Those 3 and 5 are called the 'number needed to treat' and can be compared to the 'number needed to harm'.
Thank you for implementing 418.
That was VM if I remember right, not bare metal
We shall see. One thing to remember is that the price of a good is not determined by its costs or profitability, but rather by supply and demand. Apple and Google, for example, are undoubtedly already charging as much as they can for phones in all markets. Given their respective marketing prowess, I expect those prices to be very near the optimal price point already. If they increase prices, they lose sales to a greater degree, and ultimately earn less.

Either way I'm sure they will use this legislation as a marketing tactic to justify typical annual price increases.
It is not a requirement. Packages that depend on it, like firefox, only depend on the virtual package ttf-font, which happens to be satisfied by noto-fonts: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/firefox/.

This means that you get to choose from ttf-liberation, ttf-bitstream-vera, ttf-droid, gnu-free-fonts, noto-fonts, ttf-croscore, ttf-ibm-plex, ttf-dejavu or even all the stuff in the AUR.
I have a Philips soundbar with Bluetooth. A couple or so years ago I was playing music on it from my laptop and the connection started crackling and then just died. I could not get any of my devices to connect, and even tried a factory reset with no luck. I was thinking I would have to buy a new one, but the next day I tried it again and it connected immediately with no problem. It's happened a couple more times since then and I have found that if I just out it back on standby and leave it for an as yet undetermined amount of time it starts working again.

It's very strange.

I've also found that if my phone connects to my laptop through Bluetooth at the same time that I am streaming music via Bluetooth from my laptop to my soundbar the phone will cause interference and the music will keep crackling and dropping out.
> Finally, somewhere that I fully agree with.

I think we could all stand to learn a bit from the Finnish and the Norwegians.
This is a strange justification for having children, thinking of who'd be at one's funeral. I don't care, because I'd be dead, incapable of caring.
That level of rotation is not a deal breaker in itself.
You can basically look at it as 3~4 rotations per year, likely 1 or maybe 2 bad weeks per year.

I've never been on a big enough team to have a rotation that wide, more typical is every 4/6/8 weeks. Beyond that teams usually build out globally and your rotation remains as often but is fewer hours per day (ie - US covers til 8pm when APAC comes in). The bigger concern arguably is how noisy weekends are?

The web and ideas back then were different. It was so cool to choose wingdings as a font, and make it <blink>. The web would not have evolved the way it is now if we hadn’t had the freedom back then.
