What happens when you have two projects that use two different versions of the same dependency?

With Nix, you can "install" many different versions of the same program side by side in the store, and then "activate" the one you need at runtime (or with direnv).
I'm not sure that, at least historically, that would be looked upon amicably by their neighbouring countries or populations. That has changed over time though which has allowed this to happen.
They actually never were. We also recently put out a help page explaining how our news rankings work: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/ne.... From that page: "when we apply our own ranking signals we do so in a strictly non-political manner, meaning we don’t evaluate or otherwise take into account any potential political bias or leanings of websites in our search result rankings."
You're literally inventing problems to explain why people in my town don't walk to a grocery store. We have quite a few grocery store spread out. Most of the city is easily within walking distance to one. It is not hostile to ride bikes here, we have sidewalks on every street, and I've never had anyone throw anything at me. The streets aren't clogged with traffic. I even see plenty of people walking and riding bikes, they just look like they're doing it for recreation.
The national labs are a huge asset I wish more people knew about. You get to work on interesting, meaningful projects, are given access to all the expertise, training, and development resources you could reasonably want, and have a relatively secure job with a good work-life balance.

I often talk to graduate students in STEM fields about their career prospects, many of whom are interested in software development, but are disillusioned with the career paths academia, FAANG, and the standard tech companies have to offer. Many of them just aren't aware of what the labs have to offer when I bring it up, unless their faculty advisor is in some way involved.
The same insight you're expressing here can also be applied to search engines. I think most would agree there's currently an opportunity for better search engines, much as there was just before Google was born.

As someone who's been following that debate since the Unity 2.x days, I'd say Unreal might start to pick up steam once "Verse" drops

That's their purported scripting language for Unreal. By far the most "serious hobbyist" unfriendly aspect of Unreal has always been the heavy macro based C++. They tend to be people who don't like the idea of visual programming, so hate Blueprints (no hat in this race, I think they're ok), and have come from the cushy tooling you get with C# like Rider

Verse has a good chance to give Unreal a fresh start with some tight focused tooling and good ergonomics.

It's also a little ironic to say that since that's the opposite story of Unity, which dropped Boo and "Unityscript" to great effect... but that's how daunting C++ is for some people

That's a pessimistic and myopic view of transhumanism. Where it becomes a good idea is a context that humanity is limited in its current (biological) form.

There are lots and lots of things that could kill our species over the next several thousand years and the transhumanists simply think it is worth investing in looking into how we could potentially use technology to adapt to those threats or enhance the human experience.
The fact that it's scarce because it's so difficult and expensive to perform the chemical processes to isolate titanium doesn't chance the fact that it's scarce. Unless you have some novel way to drive down the cost titanium, building huge public projects using large amounts of titanium will remain infeasible.
And you really want your collision detection to be reasonably deterministic. Reasonable frame rates range from 30fps to 240fps, which is nearly an order of magnitude, and you want your bullets to behave the same over that range.

This reaffirms the flawed notion IMO that the value of patents is in protecting ideas rather than the expense incurred in the development and validation of those ideas. A lot of the romance over patents is based on the idea of a lone inventor waking up one morning with an earth-shattering discovery, when the reality is that in most circumstances, those kinds of ideas are thought up by multiple people at roughly the same time, and rewarding the first person to write them down is counterproductive.

However, in the case of things like industrial patents or drug patents, where there is considerable cost in shepherding a design through a complicated regulatory framework, it makes sense to give the company that fronted those costs some kind of temporary protection from unfair competition. If you look at patents under that lens, it makes economic sense that an AI generating an algorithm over the course of hundreds of hours would be patent-worthy.
Musk has a chance if he can show that Twitter knowingly mislead the public about the bot %. It sounds like their methodology was indeed pretty weak, arguably deliberately so, and they had people on staff that should've known this would produce poor estimates with a large margin on error.
The ruling has confirmed that only natural persons i.e., humans can be listed as the inventor in the patent application as per the Patent Act.

For your question, I think you will be within your rights to list yourself as the inventor of AI-generated invention, provided you were the first to do so and file an application that was accepted by the USPTO and defend the claim from anyone else who says they were also able to generate a similar work with a similar or same prompt.

It is an unsettled question whether a patent would be granted upon inspection by the USPTO.

IANAL and this is my common sense reading of the ruling.

Tesla was working on batteries with a 20-year lifespan.
Classic isn't better at everything. This was just looking at the raw efficiency of sending as much data as fast as possible from device to device, something both classic and LE bluetooth can do. However classic cannot do quite a bit of what LE supports, for instance things like wireless multicast (i.e. air tag type scenarios) where one device broadcasts data for any other device around it. Classic is much more like a wireless serial port and requires devices to find and connect to it one at a time whereas LE doesn't have that strict requirement.

It works for mobile. Likely not one of the primary use cases though.

VR support is there. Again, I think not the engine's priority. Last I checked some of their new core tech behind ue5 (lumen, nanite) didn't work correctly in VR, though that was around launch time. I would probably start a new VR project in Unreal, and Godot for mobile.

edit: the RE4 VR remake was in Unreal for example

I used to identify as a transhumanist and believed that technology could do no harm. I was an adolescent donning rose-colored glasses, with a burning passion for science, technology, and improvement of our species.

Only after an electrical engineering degree, 10-15 years of more wisdom, and dabbling in biohacking have I realized that we really have no clue about the massive deleterious impacts that technology has on the natural world. From mental health decay to environmental destruction, the unintended side effects of technology were completely lost on me as a child.

I believe humanity needs to pump the brakes and take a critical step back to evaluate the damage we’ve caused. I hope that it isn’t too late to try to fix what we’ve destroyed.

> Does anyone working in tech ACTUALLY think transhumanism is a good idea?

No but...as long as technology advancement proceeds at a faster pace than evolution, human obsolescence is bound to happen someday. Transhumanism was an optimistic movement that humans could somehow stay in control as cyborgs (when it is much more likely that artificial life replace humans without human components).
Kdiff3 had its last release in 2014, old multiplatform apps that weren’t updated would have this problem. Zenmap seemed to not be unsigned? Wireshark was definitely signed, which I was kinda surprised about. I wouldn’t have expected QT apps to be signed, but looks like even those have some support. I’d also argue there’s better Mac apps, at least in terms of kdiff3 ;-).

Fair enough on App Store / popularity, my point was mainly saying the apps on the App Store are of “lesser quality” / the lowest quality is ridiculous. It’s not like the 30% of setapps not-on-the-AppStore apps are explicitly not doing it from a quality standpoint. Most are just because they don’t want to / financially can’t afford the revenue split.

Many EVs support a regen based "1 pedal" driving mode, where lifing from the accelerator slows the vehicle rapidly. This leaves brakes for emergency stopping and parking. My 2017 Tesla MX-100D doesn't quiet have this (you need brakes below 5mph), and I have almost 0 pad wear.

Where you will run into problems with brakes is due to corrosion if you live in a climate where roads are salted in the winter. Since the pads last so much longer, there is a danger that the disposable parts that are designed to last the normal lifetime of pads will corrode and fail before the pads wear out.

FWIW, in 5 years, replaced my wiper blades, tires, and washer fluid and that's it.

This pathetic point always gets brought up when talking about China's IP theft, but it should be telling that it is literally one individual from 200+ years ago who is always mentioned.

What did he do? He worked in a factory and memorized details about the machines, and then went to America and rebuilt them.

Is that what Chinese companies are doing? Do they get someone hired at the company, who then memorizes things, and then goes back to China and rebuilds them?

No one would care if China was operating the way Slater operated. That is common even with Americans moving from one American company to another. What is not common is directly stealing designs and schematics and billions of bits of other information through nefarious means, by breaching a company's cyber security or infiltrating their supply line.
It was like the JavaScript of UX and 2D games for a while. It was trash as a technology, but it was a technology that millions of UI designers and indie game developers cut their teeth on and already knew deeply, so it stuck around much longer than it should have. Like grown-ups trying to ride tricycles to work.

I remember someone at EA talked to Adobe about getting access to the Flash (.fla) file format so that our UI tools could read it directly to export into the in game format instead of reading the already compiled and compressed .swf format. And they were like, "Uh... you really don't want to do that. It's like a memory dump of the entire application state. It's a giant mess. We're really sorry."

By all accounts, it seemed like the Flash codebase was a dumpster fire. But so many amazing little games and UIs were built using it.
All humans are actively engaged in various levels of transhumanism, especially from a medical standpoint. We all hope that medicine will help us achieve what is, to us presently, superhuman lifespans. Many of us are mentally altered through psychotropic medicine and prefer living this way.

Transhumanism as a movement is just a vocal proponent of a process of technological adoption already happening on a regular basis.

I don't really get it. Stockton CA is a bad place because housing prices rose too fast? The average house there is now probably 300k. If they were 100k still, Stockton would have less murder and car theft?
Brake pad and tire are extremely user dependent (in same car model). How you drive dictates their wear (faster braking/cornering == faster wear)

But in most (all?) EVs you have regenerative braking that reduces the load on the brake pads, so they last longer. You can kinda do the same in an ICE by coasting down but it takes a lot more preplanning and annoys impatient people behind you.
The gas station thing I wholeheartedly agree with. I have a fully charged car every time I enter my garage and never have to play that guessing game of if I’ll need randomly add 10m onto any drive to get gas. It’s wonderful.

That said, if I had to rely on public charging for my day to day, I’d be in the same spot as a gas car —- or worse, with only access to a level 2 charger.

I was in Steamboat this weekend, and for some reason they have no superchargers. Relying on a level 2 charger giving me 10% charge after an hour was.. tedious at best. I would not want an EV if that was my regular experience. It’s one reason I’d never recommend anything except a Tesla until there are widespread level 3 chargers for all brands.
That whole line of thinking just blows me away. It's possible to accurately sample and reproduce any vinyl recording in the digital realm. It's absolutely not possible to accurately record every digital recording onto vinyl. For instance, it's not hard at all to make bass so loud that it causes the needle to leap out of the track, or treble so high that the needle can't accurately track the high frequency vibrations.

In fact, part of the record player spec is the "RIAA equalization"[0] that attempts to account for the fact that vinyl isn't good at recording a wide range of frequencies well. On recording, you cut the bass and jack up the treble. On playback, you boost the bass and reduce the treble. Without that, vinyl would be even worse than it is today.

It's absolutely, 100% fine for someone to say that they subjectively prefer the sound quality of a record player to a CD. I don't, but that's fine: it's purely a preference thing. But to claim that vinyl is objectively better in some way is just ludicrous.

Indeed. But surely they have at least internal audits. They seem like they take this stuff seriously.

Indeed! If he picks his experts like his lawyers, this could be spectacular.

Yeah, he sounds like he’s hoping to find a smoking gun where some Twitter higher-up admits fudging the numbers. To be fair, if that is true, then Twitter deserves to be raked over the coals, even though it would not be sufficient to get Musk out of this mess.

> importantly desktop-comparable speed for even heavy tasks like photo/video editing are really, really good

Because it has dedicated hardware to make photo & video editing good. Which is great, if that's your jam. It's dead silicon if it isn't, though. M1/M2 strike a great balance for performance & battery life, absolutely. But it's very narrow in what it can achieve desktop-comparable speeds on when it comes to heavy workloads, and other laptops are drastically faster at rather large areas of consumer computing like gaming.

> Honestly unless you're required to run windows, it makes a macbook kind of a no brainer right now

Or if you're just a casual / lite user but want something other than 13.3", which is the only size Apple offers an economical model. Or if you really like having a touch screen, which Apple refuses to do for some reason. That second point is basically the entire reason my SO is hunting for alternatives to the Air.
> No. Nobody outside of Twitter can repeat the analysis.

This is true of most material statements provided by companies in every industry:

- Revenue? Trust the company, I cannot independently verify from outside the company.

- Retail same-store sales comparable? Have to trust the company's numbers.

- Headcount? I have to trust their number again here.

- Expenses? I have no way to verify this unless I work at the company, in a very senior position.

Outside verification of data is not a concern relevant to corporate disclosures.
And, unlike nixpkgs, Hydra is pretty unfriendly to contributions.

There is one master trusted public key for nix:

6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=

It is hardwired into the nix source code and every (unpatched) build of nix from the last decade or so. There is no revocation system. There is no public key infrastructure. If that key gets compromised, there is no backup plan. I love Nix, but this is batshit crazy.

The Hydra instance has access to the corresponding private key. So the people who merge changes to Hydra are understandably paranoid. Unfortunately this has turned the codebase into a mess.

Interesting choice but Italy doesn’t seem to be a great choice to me. In fact most of Southern Europe has endemic economic problems that can degenerate them completely to bankruptcy and other larger societal problems. If you have not followed the latest Italian politics I recommend you do so because they are (and have been for a while) in a mess. If a brexit like event happens, which I think if ever happens, Italy and Spain (along with Greece) would be the first to break up from EU.

I think countries such as France and Germany would be more stable choices but corporations are going to leverage workers lower wages to do anything and this is another case even if that means risking long term stability.
