Well, thank you for letting us live !

Where I live, it's not exactly easy to legally get a hand gun and you can only do so after you proved that you're responsible, sane, and respect the safety rules. It's a process that can take a year, with multiple tests that you have to renew along your life. The behaviour described in this article would lead a shooter to lose his right to detain a handgun (I speak about detention, there is no right to carry guns here).

Long story short, don't fear shooters that are having fun at your local gun range, they wouldn't do anything that stupid and they know damn well the dangers.

People in suburban cities getting guns illegally is a completely different matter though, and the shootings there are completely out of control, including shooting automatics while riding a bike or firing at buildings. And yes, pathetic clowns doing the "celebratory gunfire" thing.
True, although even without ads nor a bloated stack, you start with network latency, code running in a VM that has to use hardware with terrible embedded gpu, accessibility requirements, seo, and so the obligation to use the dom api, the latter not being accessible throught a compiled language.

Also, the website teams is usually smaller, and have a 10th of the time to ship.

But it doesn't excuse everything, for sure. Most websites should be fast given how little they do.
That assumes that the headsets won't get smaller and lighter over time.
You have to be a special kind of biker to enjoy cycling in London. A friend cycled across London twice a day every day but I'm not sure I'd want to do that. Public transport is good so you can walk or take the tube/bus.

I know nothing about typography, so could you share which aspects of the type specifically stood out to you as bad typography?
> a type of society that scares me.

Fear is never a good guide, and leads straight to authoritarianism, every time. We need a rational approach not ever-more-emotion.

The 230 protections have done more damage to the world than good. Platforms should be responsible against horrible things, but the laws should also be lax enough to allow platforms to remove the worst without being liable to go to jail every time someone shows a nipple. Our legal/tech system is dysfunctional by its ancient nature and the easy/populist politics around censorship.
Edit: totally missed the repeal - so this is no longer the situation.

Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, which has governed how UK Parliamentary elections are called since 2011, an election could only be triggered outside of the normal five-year Parliamentary cycle by one of two scenarios: if two-thirds of the House of Commons voted in favour of one, or if the Government lost a vote of no confidence and no alternative government was confirmed by the House of Commons within 14 days.

2/3 vote in house is basically the only way it can happen.
> Either feds take over this obligation or Illinois will go bankrupt, legally dissolve, and the land will be absorbed by neighboring States.

US States cannot go bankrupt (They are not only not covered by bankruptcy law, but there is a reasonably strong argument that state bankruptcy would violate the contracts clause. (And the public entities that can go bankrupt via municipal bankruptcy in US law do not legally dissolve when they do.)

That seems…unrelated.
This was same in Czechoslovakia, I recall my parents standing queue in freezing cold during winter for 2-3 hours so that their sick son could have some mandarines or lemon juice in the tea.

I think this will come, but it won't be competitive with filmmaking in a decade, not without real superhuman AGI. What's much more likely is efforts to reproduce performances will result in deep uncanny valley stuff - and correcting this last few percent for accuracy / weirdness will take a long time. Photorealistic video rendering is inevitable, voice duplication is already here (Tortoise should be much more well known but our culture is fixated on the visual side of this tech - https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wVVqUPqwiDBUVeWWOUN...). But generatively creating a performance which accurately interprets the emotional context of a scene, in interrelationship with other characters doing the same? I don't see even a path towards that without AGI. At best you could crib specific performance elements and map them onto new models. My intuition is that to get all the way to generative movie you need AGI (or Zimbos so convincing we can't tell the difference).

So what we will get in coming years / decades - the timeline is anyones guess - is movies acted out to camera in a rehearsal space, and that combined with a(n AI augmented) script to generatively create a film / character driven interactive game).

This is a reasonable point, _but_ how much data do games need to load versus a website. Using Twitter as an example, when I open it I can see 4 tweets. Assuming each tweet is 1MB (for easy math), I have a 500Mb WiFi connection, I should be be able to do 100 tweets in under a second. Meanwhile most/many games are pulling in gigabytes of data in textures and audio data. Spiderman on PS5 is under 15 seconds from the home screen to being in game, playing which is about how long it takes for the Facebook mobile website to load.
The fact that it uses Times New Roman gives it a very (old) "MS Word" vibe.
I couldn't count the many times I've been saved by the menu key, when my mouse somehow stops working for no reason. I hate that my current keyboard relegates it to be second-class citizen in lieu of the Fn key taking its place (which on the other hand I find to be useless).
Wow, this is terrible. Why would you release this in this state?

Edit: Wait, the Streams have had human involvement!?

>streams are ”harvested” by human operators: after choosing some initial settings, the operator lets the engine run and collects the score it composes.

> Without changing this score, the operator then produces a sound file for it, by choosing the electronic instruments that play the score, making a simple mix and recording the result, using standard music production software.

Imagine this being the curated best they could do, even after explicitly choosing instruments after the fact to best fit and then mixing it.
Thanks for that one, I use the Windows shortcut keys, but hadn't noticed that but now I have lots of monitor space it will be quite useful!
No, the article just starts with citing research done on babies with blue eyes. But it elaborates on that later on. For example:

> Though the data is limited and has only been carried out in just one country, the US, changes in eye colour appears to be most common among people with Northern European, Pacific Islander or mixed-race heritage.

Which checks out for me personally: I'm mixed Dutch-Chinese, my Dutch father has blue eyes and my Chinese mother has dark brown eyes. My sisters and I were born with eyes so dark they looked black, almost as if we had no iris. They lightened to dark brown as we grew up.
Thanks.

Yeah, I probably should have linked it, but then again, I'm not out to name-and-shame anyone or anything.

Look inside an old Apple II and you’ll see a sea of chips accomplishing what can be done with only a few today. The Cobra clones looked much the same, but with even more chips. Using whatever they could get their hands on, the students would make 30 chips do the job of an elusive $10 chip. No two computers were necessarily alike. Even the keyboards were hacked together, sometimes using keys designed for mainframe computers but with faults from the molding process. These were cleaned up and new letters put on.
Trying to take a non cynical take: at a business level Apple's hardware business was growing while other makers were having a hard time, and I think with their current advancement in processor tech and sheer production quality, they have captured most of the market they were probably expecting to capture.

At this point, trying to expand the user base through sheer hardware improvement or trying to include fringe groups (windows dual boot users, linux user) probably has diminishing returns.

In contrast, service revenue, app revenue and accessories like air pods, the Apple Watch have a much better ROI.

What I'm coming at: they have little incentive to work hard to expand the user base, and a better ROI on expanding revenue from users of their software platform. So I'm not holding my breath on Apple actively helping for windows or linux support anytime soon.
As opposed to what platform?

Also, they did that in a completely backwards compatible way, so that programs that were written before Go was even a thing will also benefit, so if you will, Java has out of the doors orders of more “goroutine”-aware code as is, than Go will likely ever will.
Suicide numbers during the Covid-19 pandemic compared with pre-existing trends
maybe next time don't quote something author made up and quote actual study:

> One study led by Cassie Ludwig, an ophthalmologist at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University, tracked 148 babies born at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in California, recording their iris colour at birth. Nearly two-thirds of babies were born with brown eyes, and one-fifth with blue.

> Two years later, Ludwig and her colleagues found that of the 40 blue-eyed babies in the study, 11 had brown eyes by the age of two, three had hazel, and two had green. Of the 77 brown-eyed newborns, almost all (73) still had brown eyes at the age of two.

Most of the children (2/3) in study were born with brown color, pretty much none of these 2/3 changed the color. There was rare group (1/5) born with blue eyes where 40% (2/5) changed color.

So TLDR only when you start with blue color*

*for nitpickers - there is extremely small chance you will change color, if you start with color other than brown or blue

Of course it depends on country, in many European countries blue/grey is very common and brown definitely doesn't amke 2/3 of newborns. But it's truth same as with hair you don't go from dark to light, it's possible only the other way. I was born with completely blonde hair, now I have light brown and from what I see other kids blonde baby is pretty much standard, but seeing blonde adults it's relatively rare.
Only in the sense of having no pigment. If one were to speak in terms of genetic history I'd expect the opposite: brown would come first, and blue would be one of the most recent mutations.
> If the "free" market fails because it's not so free after all(socialized losses), you don't fix this by having more bureaucrats/politics involvement to run the markets. This will only make matters worse

This is deeply naive. Governments that don't take action when pension funds evaporate en masse will fall and be replaced by those which do take action. If this didn't happen, it would be a failure of democracy, not of markets.

Such a government would be illegitimate - and on-topic, that's pretty much where the UK government is at right now, it's pursuing a set of policies it has no electoral mandate for and is currently 33% behind the main opposition.
During covid, climate wasn't issue. People, like Gates, promotes mask, vaccines, antibacterial gels, tests... Which produces millions of tons of plastic waste. And also great income for his business. But who cares, now we need innovations because he loves our planet a people, right?
What gave me the most perspective on programming language design was reading Leslie Lamport's papers on TLA+. His views on the necessary differences between a P.L. and a specification language gave me a clearer idea what programming languages really are. If I recall, Lamport has several papers on TLA+ for mere mortals that are very easy to read.
You would be surprised, actually. This [0] shows an example of some excellent space savings. I used to work for Epic and the results we got on other projects were in this ballpark too.

Since either a no confidence vote without a new government (simple majority without a replacement government getting one) or a 2/3 vote would require a rebellion within the Tories, and the former would require fewer rebels, wouldn’t it necessarily be more plausible than a 2/3 vote.

And it seems these days, all nudity is automatically treated as pornographic. When I was a child, my parents took photos of me - clothed or not, I might be doing something silly or endearing and those photos were created, whether in the backyard or the bathtub, given to some guy in a kiosk to print, and placed in the family photo album.

I wonder if parents do the same these days, and if they share them online like how they used to pass around the family photo album?
The campaign promise was to increase interest rates - even going as far as removing the central bank and raising the rates themselves.
If you are using JNI then that puts a native frame on the stack and pins the virtual thread. Loom’s strategy works because we know what can be on the Java stack, and that nothing external points into it, but we don’t know that for native frames.

Curious about how long it took: brain storming, research, hypothesis, work, iteration, bug fixing, writing etc

I'm curious about the process you and the team uses to do this. Additionally there's the meme that these things are appearing every hour now, so it could be good for some perspective like "well actually it took n weeks"
I was banned on Reddit for simply calling out a Reddit admin on my own profile. I keep trying to appeal it, but they don't care about my 12 years of good faith contributions to dozens of communities, hundreds of dollars given to their company through premium and awards, no the final straw was me simply calling out an admin who was on a power trip, who is also responsible for a PR blunder relatively recently with their place event.

I've lost so much respect for this company and it's actually made me also take a step back from social media in general. All of these companies can abuse you at any point without any transparency, and I'm not willing to take the risk anymore.
I don't see that. They dont seem to abide by a different set of principles, they are just not targetted enough and thus dont need to act. The other actors in the list are shielding them. There doesn't seem to be a competition among any of them. The goalposts are generally moved around to whatever is convenient but the principles remain the same.
Checking your profile you're not in the US. I also asked some friends in RO an DE and they say no ads either.

Not sure if LG hasn't got around to sourcing ads for the EU or they're not doing it because of some legal reasons.

Edit: got some screenshots. Apparently you need to agree to the terms and conditions to get ads on a RO LG. Don't know who ever does that.

> That would require a lot of Tory MPs to rebel

Yes, it’s practically impossible currently given both the size of their majority, and also the clear indications that a large number of Tory MPs would be personally voting themselves out of a job. (The current polling may well be underestimating the scale of the defeat)

It’s more likely that the Prime Minister will be kicked out.
> For example, imaging you are selling your company and, during due diligence, the buyer discovers you have to release your source code.

You have to do that process if you use electron… except that there you have 30000 libraries and each one of them has to be vetted and approved.

Your legal costs estimations is way off.
> Long story short, don't fear shooters that are having fun at your local gun range, they wouldn't do anything that stupid and they know damn well the dangers.

And I'm not! Apologies if I came across that way. I'm only nitpicking on the language used when discussing guns here. I want the discussion of guns to be as respectful of (the dangers of) guns as responsible gun owners are with actual guns.
They are one of the worst lock-in minded companies. Making their hardware as closed as possible fits that.
Even if you make a lot in the US health insurance is so expensive it makes it financially difficult. 400-800 a month depending on how much you want to gamble with deductibles.
There is a difference between you ignoring ads as a user, or an adblock tool removing the ads entirely, and a tool that explicitly tries to make it look as if the user is interacting with the ads. The last tool is actively malicious and deceptive in a way the others are not.
Eh, the actual number of interactive items in a modern game is significantly less than thousands. Probably more like a few dozen when all is said and done.

The bonds are risk-free when held to maturity which is what every textbook will tell you if you actually read them.

What is not risk-free is the value of those bonds before reaching maturity. That price is decided by the market (i.e. you need to find someone to buy them from you, therefore there is a price to be negotiated). Why? Because when the government issues new bonds at higher interest rates why would anyone still buy the old bonds at the same price? If you want to sell those bonds on the market you will have to sell them at a discount. OR you can hold them to maturity and get paid in full.

What went from here is that those pension funds used those bonds as collateral (the value of which is decided by the market). Since the market value of those bonds is falling now due to rising rates, the value of the collateral is decreasing thus margin calls.

Everyone knows this and no one seriously thought this was risk free. The simple fact is that all these pension schemes are underfunded yet there is the expectation that they still pay out pensions like they did 50 years ago. How to solve this? You take on risk!

Im not saying that the bankers are all nice guys here but it’s not solely their fault. There is some context here. People just prefer to sweep away problems until there is no more place to hide them. That’s the real issue here.
If Cinny had link embeds and the ability to play videos from links, it would be basically perfect.
Games have come a long way since Space Invaders and Pac Man.

They routinely do have hundreds, or thousands, of interactive things. Especially things like RTS games. But also, even if you look at turn-based strategy games, which have a much more application-like interface. Every hexagon, terrain feature, and unit is interactive, along with a full application-like menu, statusbar, and UI system.
This is not entirely true for at least the postal service - someone can address a bomb or drugs with some stamps and a fake sender address quite easily. Only the recipient address is known, but again people sometimes have mail sent to a known empty house to pick up.
Do someone have some easy to understand reading material about latent diffusion principles? I try to understand the core concepts, but I have a hard time finding good sources.
You are right.

Choosing a bigger number makes it less likely that you will win by being smaller than the other two, but more likely that you will win by the other two knocking each other out, since there are now more numbers available for them to do so with.
> I think I agree with you, but I need a clear definition of "cheaper."

I think the best definition of MS products in regard with quality and usability is "cheaper" as in "he is cheap". (i.e. only using the lowest quality crap available)
Maybe it's a glass half full scenario? I'm pretty happy the nanny state allows blood/gore at least.
