The premise that there can be free food and housing, without people having had to work to provide them, is fantasy. Wanting to live in a fantasy is not unreasonably childish, but it is childish.
The FDA has a solid origin story: make sure drugs sold are safe. But the 1960s expansion into regulating efficacy has not been positive, and the organization today is not even clearly positive on balance.

Today if the FDA approves a drug as safe, and effective for any single specific use, doctors are allowed to prescribe it "off label" for any other use. This generally works well, and contributes to pharmaceutical innovation. We should expand this to where doctors can prescribe anything the FDA has classified as safe. Restricting advertising and other carrots to drugs that have convinced that FDA of their efficacy (as we do today for off label uses) is probably still good, though.
The real creativity in IPAs is in the different cultivars of hops. That is to say, the real work of making a delicious beverage is done by the plants and the people who grow them tend to be the experts. But this is no different to wine or coffee, two other classes of beverage with endless varieties and variations of characteristics.

Just try to ignore the social pretences of the group. All three beverage communities have their extremists who can be quite annoying. But on the other end of the spectrum you’ll find some warm, down-to-earth people who just want to have fun exploring different flavours and textures. That’s really all there is to it!
Same physical port. Perfect for plugging into each other and having neither one work. Later on they color coded them (purple and green, some companies used orange?)

I was always jealous of the Mac's ADB. You could daisy chain it, plug any device into any port, it was nice.

My biggest issue with Twitter is the lack of moderation, theres SO much propaganda on there. I report tweets where someone threatens someone and they are like 'oh no violation'... I reported a tweet with a video of ukraine where they showed un-blured body parts of dead people and a message praising russian soldiers for 'smashing nazis into little pieces'... and it was 'no violation' (thankfully this was removed when I reported it a second time)

And Twitter is banned in China, yet the number of accounts which have location set to China, you shouldn't even be able to select China and there should be no state run media accounts.
By default, webview in iOS doesn't persist the user session(android does). Does generating the app via Red Goose solves this problem?

Currently when developing webView for iOS, you need to store the session before app is closed and reload it the next time so that user doesn't have to log in again.

What? I've literally never felt this way.

Every time someone wanted to have a call with me, it was so they could push me into something with their whining, or so they could misinterpret what was said without me being able to point at a timestamped sentence. For these reasons I always refuse calls about anything important - and never had any problems solving various business issues over text.

How specifically is text less/not useful?
The internet doesn't work without advertising. Almost as if the money to build all this infrastructure has to come from somewhere.

If only we could create a digital token that would be in such demand it would generate its own network and infrastructure effect.

Oh wait... they ruined that, too.

> Unless a child is put up for adoption

They have, of course, tested this as well.
I have all the paraphernalia of adulthood - a mortgage, a car, a career, a wife, a child (and hopefully more on the way) - but I have none of the mindset, attitude, or even the body language “adults” used to have. Or at least adults from my father’s generation.

I do improv on the weekends. Sometimes I produce music. Edgy, electronic stuff. I like to dance and do strange, funny gestures and voices with my kid. Its a riot when my nephews and nieces are over.

I like to dress up in bright, colorful clothes. I work from home and see no point in even pretending to look serious. Lately, I’ve grown my hair out and even had a failed attempt at a proper long rip van winkle beard.

Maybe this isn’t what adults are supposed to act like. This is certainly not what my dad acted like when he was my age.

But who the hell cares?

The more ads they put in, the more people get an ad blocker, so they have to add more ads to compensate.
Because adults have the perspective of being able to see long-term consequences for their actions in a way that children do not.

Ice cream and pizza taste better than salad. If you let them, children will always pick them. Adults know that doing that all the time will actually make them sick and miserable, so they start making choices that are less pleasant in the immediate term because they want to optimize value for the long-term.

Sure, some things are bullshit even in the long-term, but most of the things that seem "boring," like doing the laundry and paying the taxes and making the meal plans, are actually ordered toward optimizing happiness on a much larger scale than children have the life experience to see.

A privacy-preserving token usage pattern for microservices
I think it's the best way to handle shutting it down but I'm talking about the entire product lifecycle: the technical choices made during development, the decision to launch, the business relationship handling, and post launch execution, marketing and comms. I am not claiming that every aspect of stadia has been a failure, and the full refunds for everyone (except developers lol) is one of the few things that is going well.
The pay cut feels like a decent defense to me. Somebody looking to cut payroll by 20% should hopefully look and say "wow, those folks working remotely outside of the bay area, nyc, seattle are getting paid 15-25% less, maybe that is good for us."
In practice you rally all of the Bitcoin HODLers who are "desperate" and on average have "decent" losses - and want Bitcoin to become popular again, and ideally for them, become mainstream.

This then incentivizes them to use only platforms and services that are integrated with Bitcoin (et al), in order to try to continue the charade that Bitcoin overall provides a net benefit, in hopes that its price, based on demand, reaches at least what they paid for it to begin with - but "hopefully 10x more!" However, it's described in part as Ponzi scheme as someone is always left holding the bag, and it will be the present moment wave who are most heavily holding the bag, who will then be more willing to rally and be a coercive group; it's like religion, or a cult, that you buy into - but where you not only have a profit motive, you're motivated to make back your losses too.

The problem is they've never actually been able to compete with non-Bitcoin platforms and services - and perhaps at its foundation due to the higher cost of using Bitcoin vs. just using the internet with encryption and other security protocol; let alone story after story showing the $ billions stolen in Bitcoin; from the beginning in Bitcoin-related startup pitch decks - you'd never see a price comparison slide for Bitcoin vs. current offerings.

This "army of HODLers" is however a potentially dangerous situation, as these are real people with voting power in democracies - and as I referenced above there was fairly early on an effort to "educate" politicians: how much the broader society be manipulated into adopting Bitcoin, simply through nudging of making it more normalized, all so the current HODLers can profit and pass the bag onto the next unsuspecting, misled laypeople? It only takes a single person with $ billions to $10s of billions to gain if this scheme continues, and who may already have $ billions of cash to spend say 50% of trying to manipulate to move it along strategically.
If Google tries to enter the gaming market again any time soon, they're going to have a bad time. What developer is going to trust them to stick around?

It's also interesting to contrast Stadia to the original Xbox and how Microsoft stuck to it while losing money for years.
I finally got fed up and pay for Kagi. Very happy so far. Cents per day is worth it
You are just describing a company, a billion dollar company indeed, because I would buy from a company I could trust on these matters. Happy to pay the extra 10% or 20%, as long as you don't screw me on details, quality, etc.

> complex robotic agility tasks like folding laundry or making eggs

The robotic challenge in those tasks is not insufficient Actuation capabilities or Control capabilities, but insufficient sensory Proprioception.

Sure you can compensate for those in Control or adding Vision guidance but ultimately what you needs is sensors/transducers that are able to mimic touch and pressure and proprioception in a way that approximates what exists in the animal kingdom.
"using armies to take resources and businesses blocking others out of markets" is literally "evolving". Natural selection, baby. It's not pretty.

Unipolarity isn't the only solution but it's the most apparent one, and also the most terrifyingly totalitarian one.
The scarcity is artificial and baked into the algorithm. There’s nothing “natural” about it. It’s by design.
Yeah, somehow "scale" + no server? ("serverless") combined catches VC fishes. I was exited about edge compute but it's been hijacked by these js engine hype that run function on serverless. It becomes indistinguishable between a concept of "compute close to user" and this serverless + js engine thingy.

I wouldn't be surprised if large portion of serverless market is javascript. And rust driven wasm. So monoculture right now.
I think there was and still is potential in cloud game streaming, its more a failure in execution. In theory we have an incredible amount of mostly idle silicon in peoples homes that with raising bandwidth and decreasing latencies become increasingly wasteful. It seems to me quite obvious that eventually there will be no particular reason why we need game consoles or high-powered gaming pcs at all. We can get much better efficiency if the compute necessary to render and simulate games happens in a shared cloud system.

Not that the economy really cares about wasteful consumption now of course, but there might be natural influences that may eventually force it to care about it.

We also never really explored what cloud-native games actually mean. Like what could we do with cloud games that we couldn't on a console? What does it mean to the compute budgets, to asset streaming, to multiplayer between cloud instances, if we could more efficiently use gpu resources if multiple players use the same gpu to play the same game, can we make multiplayer games in the cloud that are impossible any other way? etc. It feels like no game developer thought about what cloud gaming actually could mean, this could be a very exciting space in a few decades from now.

I think Stadia wasn't really a product developed by remotely competent people, they did so many mistakes that it feels like almost anybody could've told them. There even were detailed early reviews of the many issues with the platform, but they never addressed any of them. Its like they burned money it was weird.

Tying it to an expensive, mediocre controller instead of "runs on anything with a modern browser" was especially confusing to me, it seemed so incredibly foolish.

Totally agree. Overflowing silently is almost never what you want. Sometimes it’s useful but that’s the rare case.
Can you be more specific? You're talking about a guy who was able to make a company that returned a booster 14 times back to Earth. Physicists and engineers that tried before him couldn't make it. Not even John Carmack could. How come Musk is so stupid if he's done it when others couldn't?

(yes I know he's not the engineer turning the bolts on the rocket. There's incredible value in good management and leadership, though - and for that you need to know a lot about what you're doing. )

It definitely looks like a very clean efficacy study.

This is an extremely difficult indication and almost all studies on drugs for Alzheimer's has failed previously.

A study of this size meetings its primary endpoint in Alzheimer's this cleanly is definitely hard to fake. I could even suspect its easier to make a working drug for it.
I think it depends on what “worked well” means.

They have stagnated product wise but it seems that their employees are happy and they make enough money to be profitable.

I think this is also a function of their competitors being jerks (Epic) or not really caring (Apple App Store). So a true competitor could likely eat their lunch if they really wanted to.
could you link to the research on that? I am really curious in mapping out all the energy alternatives we could have available (since fusion is not coming anytime )
I think most consumer preference is against co-mingling porn and other content. Porn tends to drive away other content and makes things just kind of weird. Partially, I think, because porn is still one of the moneymakers on the internet so astroturfing/paid upvotes become lucrative and flood anyplace that allows sexual content.
We’re doomed if we don’t spread out. Staying on earth guarantees destruction by asteroid, super volcano, coronal mass ejection, war, disease, ecological collapse, etc. Settling the solar system is a bit better but still subject to rogue brown dwarfs or black holes, gamma ray bursts, variability of Sol its eventual death. Even settling our local group of stars could end badly with a big enough super nova. Every year we delay expanding into the universe is another light year of distance we may never get back.
It's an odd choice, I agree. It just doesn't sound like something that is going to succeed as a social media. This is 100% subjective and exclusively based on a feel.

If anything, regular people trust Google way more than those other companies since they use the browser/search engine/mail/youtube every single day

I do think it was doomed from the start, but only because the subset of people that have high speed internet, disposable income, like gaming and DON'T already own a PC or console is a very very small market

Rumble is an "anti-cancel-culture" initiative and cancel culture is really a very separate phenomenon: cancel culture pertains to deplatforming based on political beliefs and impact, rather than based on where you're from or the way you speak.

I have no evidence to support the following, but looking at what causes this problem on mainstream platforms I would strongly suspect Rumble to be even worse. The cause of this problem is socially conservative US advertisers: Youtube's demonetisation algorithms are tuned to language that their advertisers feel it's acceptable to be associated with. My instinct would be that the subset of these advertisers who use Rumble would be more, not less, socially conservative.

If I'm wrong in my guess above, it's likely a result of scale. Rumble being smaller might simply not have reached the scale whereby algorithmic demonetisation is a thing. In which case it's only a matter of time.

Your feelings are telling you it’s hypocrisy, not your brain.
Right now, businesses with no expertise in software can make poorly-designed IoTs because there is no cost associated with it.

Forbidding such things will be like whac-a-mole; but forcing businesses to provide security update support for 5 or 10 years if their product offers internet, wifi, or cellular data connections would make some businesses balk.

As with all things, these costs are off-loaded to the consumer and it leads to some serious problems when scaled.

From the business side, having a quantifiable cost for security would also extinguish some bad ideas; perhaps by the bean counters.
Having money and resources, influence and respect certainly doesn't hurt either. I've known a lot of great people with great ideas but poor in resources, networks, and connections, and also lacking much respect out of small circles. They were certainly smarter than others, but they were also unable to influence much.
It's good advice but not enough. The whole article is about how not pointing the gun at someone can still kill.

- "Hey, don't point that gun at anything you don't want to kill!"

- "I would never! I'm pointing the gun towards the sky, you can't kill the sky! Har har!"
But it really isn’t anymore of a justification then Russia has had for months to use nukes in Ukraine.

Since the start of the war, Ukraine has hit.

- Belgorod (Russian land) multiple times with both missiles and helicopters

- Crimea (Russian occupied “annexed” land) multiple times destroying aircraft at multiple airfields

- Rostov (Russian land) a oil refinery was set on fire by kamikaze drones

The only difference now is that Russia is decisively loosing the war.

Just a week ago I was wondering about this. I was wondering if diffusion models could be used first to generate a 3D character model, and then use another model to describe actions that animate the character. Here is the humble beginnings of such a thing.

I was also wondering about the possibility of generating, say, an anthropomorphized cartoon otter that can be animated using a model trained on both otter and human motion to produce a result that is something in between.

It could reduce the workload for producing animated stories by one or more orders of magnitude sometime in the possibly not-too-distant future.
Sorry to hear that. Please send me your website’s address to s@goose.red and I will take a look at what’s happening.
I think this actually a serious issue and I’m disappointed that the comments are mostly defensive.

If I had to pick two things that have led to adults acting like children, it would be:

- the lack of any real “coming of age” ritual in Western culture. The closest we get is going to college, which has developed into something deliberately removed from adult reality

- the slow removal of cultural rules that indicated a space was to be taken seriously. For example, wearing a suit and caring about your appearance, not using swear words in public, keeping details of your private life to yourself, and so on.

I read somewhere that memes are the artform of the contemporary Zeitgeist, which makes a ton of sense to me. Memes are funny but ultimately just easy, fast-food-style culture. They would not be the predominant art form in a society capable of building something more complex, spiritual, and long-term, like a medieval cathedral or an Italian Renaissance sculpture.
Arbitrary length integers. That is, integers that actually act like integers.

As I remember comments at the time, it was the most common prediction. When Stadia launched, Google was at the peak of irritation for service shutdowns, and it was considered a string of failures, not a running joke.
I don't understand it either! Unrelated GIFs in the middle of a tutorial looks silly and distracting. The same antipattern is seen in many tech articles too when they add a "hero image" to the article. The "hero image" almost always is a generic image that does not add anything valuable to the article.
Not sure why this is downvoted, I think it’s exactly right. A huge part of what makes music feel meaningful is the parasocial relationship with the artist, and the cultural context the music captures and expresses.
1) Doreen Bogdan-Martin has already been successfully elected as Secretary-General, so it's a bit weird to post this now (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-63074895)

2) This is fearmongering. The ITU doesn't really have control over the protocols they talk about and, although the Secretary-General, can, of course, set the direction of the agency's program work, at the end these bigger decisions are taken by Member States by consensus, who are ultimately the ones running the show. The previous Secretary-Generals were Chinese and we didn't see a turn like the one prophetized in the article either.
