If I want to play God of War a few hours a month then paying 700eur to enter or 75eur and a Netflix style subscription? Which is more reasonable sounding if you're not devoting much time.

Put it this way: Why do people use cloud based hosting over buying their hardware?

Mostly it's because they convert the one time cost to an amortised cost based on usage.

This video introduces the egg tray making process.The waste paper egg tray machine uses waste paper as raw material to make egg tray containers.

The production process of egg tray generally includes: pulping, molding, and drying.
Besides, you can also use this egg tray machine to make apple tray, nursery tray and other products by changing the mold.

I have no idea how people are punishing their MacBooks that hard.

My M1 MacBook Pro (mid 2020, 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD) has been used as a daily driver for my personal stuff (not work), so while usage may be light compared to a work machine, it has seen it's fair share of C/C++/C#/Swift/Go/Python code come through (studying for a master degree), as well as papers being written.

My battery is in a much worse state than my SSD with 92% capacity remaining.

Something is fishy with the power on hours though. Despite having run for over a year, it reports just under 2 months of power on hours, so it's probably not being reported correctly.

It is annoying, but it's not illogical.

If you have looked at something once, say there's a 99% chance that you have no further interest in it. But the 1% chance that you are potentially going to buy it after being shown the ad again is still much better odds than showing it to a random person, or a random person who is somehow correlated to the target market.

Even after seeing the ad 50 more times and ignoring it, you are probably still a statistically better lead than someone who has never interacted with the ad. They're not making a strong assumption about you, even though it seems that way. They're making a very weak assumption based on the small number of people who clicked once, hesitated, saw the ad 49 times more, carried on hesitating, and now are finally ready to buy.

The word 'topology' has a more domain specific meaning in animation and rigging compared to the mathematical one.

It's used to mean that the placement of the lower level components - vertices, edges and faces - are well aligned to the higher level structure of the object, and make up a well defined 2D grid that flows along the models surface. In particular you'd want edges going along/perpendicular to mesh structures such as limbs, and around facial features and other details in a logical manner.

Otherwise when applying deformations as part of an animation the model will not have the detail in the right places to still look good, e.g. if there is no edges perpendicular to a joint in a limb, the bent version of the limb cannot have a clear smooth line along the joint, and the edges and faces become janky.

Under this definition, marching cubes cannot produce good 2D topology, as the mesh features are all aligned to the cardinal grid instead of the features of the object represented.
I thought i was a really fun anime. But I like my, not super high quality, turn your brain off, anime. It is by no way a great anime. I thought it was a lot of fun to watch. But I definitely wouldn't recommend it to everyone. You need to be the correct audience for this show.

As for surprise hit of the year, yup, this is not it.
If we go by expected shitty anime that was surprisingly good. My vote would go to isekai ojisan. And if we go by expected good anime that turned out to be amazing, it would be kaguya.

> Now the BoE is slowly raising rates to 'fight' the inflation it created over the past 20 years

Is wrong. Inflation is the result of a pandemic and policies to combat it's results, and a war impacting critical raw materials. It is not a purely monetary phenomenon like so many people prefer to pretend (I never got why - is it a "I have been saying these policies will result in inflation for 20 years, and I was right!!!"?) .

I don’t know, is it? I get it, sure data has to be loaded, but the problematic part is the work being done on that data, this is what takes much more time than it should reasonably take.

Just take the example before, if twitter were server-side rendered, it would likely load in basically a blink of an eye.

The problem is code, which will later do more network calls which again have to be waited on, this is multiple round trips. Also, the fault lies probably a bit on web tech as well, html+css is just a terrible abstraction, layouting not being properly solved.

Totally agree with this. The current situation with many remote/WFH open positions, gives us from poorer countries (I'm from Southern Europe, Greece) the possibility to get a "good" paying job from EU or US.

⌘ Key is often equivalent to ctrl on windows.
Ctrl-C,-V,-X copy'n'paste actions are done with that key on Mac.

I think it's much better placed since you can reach it with your thumb and don't have to rotate your wrist when using it as opposed to ctrl, so when typing macs you might have less strain on your hands.

The skin color thing was always a strawman.
There's slightly different physiology, behavioral tendencies like cultures, which may simply be different (intelligent adaptations by group from their geographical origins).

Nobody thinks an albino African is "White". And when the Tanzanian albino gets chopped into a potion by his non-Albino brothers -- an actual crime predicated upon skin color alone -- would we call it a racial hate crime? We barely even talk about that issue internationally.
Great question! Our team has been working on text-to-3d for ~1.5 years starting with https://ajayj.com/dreamfields. We had hoped that we could swap the contrastive CLIP model in Dream Fields for the generative Imagen model and crank out an easy paper in a few weeks. But what was supposed to be an easy win turned into months of frustration. Nothing we tried worked any better than Dream Fields. After a long detour trying MCMC, we stumbled across the score distillation loss that powers DreamFusion. Going from an initial sign of life to the results you see today still took months of hard work.

Research progress is unpredictable and these advances are not inevitable. We have the privilege to work in an environment full of amazing colleagues and powerful models, but at the end of the day it took a persistent team and a bit of luck.

> Excuse my ignorance as I work in infrastructure, but do "pure" software engineers never have any time to do work outside of their assignments?

A valid point, but that just kicks the same question down the road: why was no engineer assigned to investigate loading times? That might be indicative of a culture that is biased towards projects with an outcome decided a priori. A lot of managers don't want to assign tasks where the definition of "done" is ambiguous.
For sure. But not just "development by committee" also "development by hundreds of unrelated committees". By which of course I mean the full stack of dependencies that everything relies upon now, along with all the glue code in between that has to repeatedly transform data as it gets passed around through the system.

I've often seen some dependency module be the bottleneck, and an in-house replacement that does just what we need can perform an order of magnitude or two better than a generic 'all things for all people' module.

Also there are things that work well for dozens or hundreds of data pieces but become abysmal when you eventually scale to hundreds of thousands. But no one else has that use case, so it works fine for them. And for those that do, by then the frog is boiled and they're used to it being slow.
> I stopped playing video games almost altogether because I'm not going to download 70 GB

This is why some people love game streaming. Esp true if you only play a game once in a while.
Speaking of pivotal, both IBM and Microsoft poured an ungodly amount of money into translating Windows 95 and OS/2 Warp to a great number of languages, as far as I am aware this didn't happen before. I was a journalist at a computer monthly in Hungary at the time. Now, MS and IBM teams were not talking to each other, in fact Microsoft was working in "ivory tower" mode: the translation happened in house almost in secrecy. IBM was at least partially outsourcing to local firms who were coordinating with us. An awful lot of the very language pertaining to computers were invented or re-invented due to this. Yes, during the 80s of course there were already computer magazines and even the TV was talking about but it was absolutely awful and didn't fit the language well. The effort IBM put in was, well, pivotal. We didn't get paid -- but we had a major advantage of turning the magazine into readable and very soon we have eclipsed everyone else on the market. Of course this had other reasons but the effects of this can not be dismissed.
So far so true. But there are also better examples. Bachbot was rather good, or some of the examples of MuseNet (https://openai.com/blog/musenet/).
You are not dealing with a state that will say "teehee, we have no proof of the data that's going through, oh well!". Anyone found operating one of these gateways will just end up being beaten with a wrench, and traffic logged further on. Considering this, it's overall safer to not go through a central gateway, and to have as many possible connections going through. Hell, even PCs stored in weird places, in government offices, just to make the signal to noise ratio even worse.

A gateway is a single, big ass signal that says "come murder me".

Absolutely. You saw this in the early days of legalized gambling in the US.

And there was recently an editorial in the Chicago Tribune saying Chicago should shut down its remaining bars licensed to stay open till 4AM (most must close at 2, all get an extra hour on the weekends), because they're too wild. Yet NYC has probably hundreds of neighborhood bars open till 4 without a problem, since 4AM licenses are basically the default there.
The King could dissolve parliament.
but that's the crux of the issue streaming is much more than delivering video it's about engaging with the audience and you need the second streaming mode for that, at which poit you already have a beefy enough computer to play
Yes, when growing up watching Hollywood movies my parents always joked that showing a naked body was not done, but insane aggression (eg beheadings / limbs falling off / etc) was perfectly fine. I think that was while watching Total Recall somewhere in the 90s.

You might know this already but in case you didn't: ad-blockers are the reason browsers are considered greedy pigs when it comes to resources.

It's no longer a universal truth that a adblocker will save you memory or CPU, ad-blockers contribute greatly to the per-tab memory cost. They also slow down page rendering greatly.

But, hey, the web is an unusable mess without them so we all use one and it's considered the cost of doing business.
>It seems like the ones who are most concerned about nudity are the ones we should be the most concerned about.

Moral puritanism in any form seems to be an extremely harmful to any society it shows up in to those who aren't fellow moral puritans. I think most of the post-enlightenment democratic machinery exists to keep moral puritan types in check more than anything else.
This suffers from exactly what is mentioned in the article i assume.

Depends which keyboard I use, but sometimes, same here. My main work PC has a 1991 Model M on it. Best PC keyboard ever made, and I have about 5 of them, carefully kept since people were throwing them away in the 1990s.

I remap Caps Lock to Super, and I'm good to go. I really don't need media-control keys or anything, or a right Super key.

I am trialling an early model of Das Keyboard on my Mac. The volume-control dial is quite nice, because I listen to music and watch films on that. I never use the media keys, and happily, it's old enough that it doesn't have nonsense like light-up keys, multicoloured lighting or any of that ugly frippery.

Most computer lighting and decorations are visible designed to appeal to teenaged boys, with all the taste and discrimination that implies.
I have a hard time believing, people believe they are at full war with the NATO, yet at the same time are not allowed to call it war. There is only so much vodka you can drink.
"Bus" mice were popular too. [0] Cheaper to produce than RS2323 mice I think, but required the special interface card or motherboard support.

The bus mice were semi-popular with Amiga owners because they were easily converted to Amigas. RS232 mice could be used with Amigas too, but only worked in Workbench programs which used the operating system drivers. Most Amiga games etc used the mouse hardware registers and the RS232 mouse would be ignored then.

Java hasn't had significant stop-the-world pauses for a few years now. ZGC, the new low-latency collector, has <1ms pauses for heaps up to at least 4 TB. As to shared mutable state, virtual threads are completely orthogonal to that. You can write code with shared state or without, or, if you want language guarantees, you can use languages that greatly limit it, like Clojure. I would love to see a new implementation of Erlang for the Java platform.

Agreed, the problem isn't at pension funds; the problem is the whole financial system's excessive systemic risk.

That systemic risk can be effectively reduced, and policymakers haven't done much to address it at all due to regulatory capture. Many financial mathematicians and popular intellectuals (Nassim Taleb, James Rickards) have pointed out the need to descale the financial system to decrease systemic risk, and prevent the financial blowups that are inevitable at the current scale.
This was easier back before the proliferation of increasingly niche subreddits. It didn't even have them to begin with. A policy that works when the most niche sub is /r/technology doesn't hold up so well once subs practicing free speech increasingly come into conflict over what speech they consider acceptable. People who genuinely believe in unrestricted free speech are few and far between and tend to find some exceptions are reasonable once they see how bad people can be.
> I can't imagine writing code while standing on a train, for example.

This made me smile, because that used to be my morning commute. I had around an hour on a usually full train, and I could already start writing things that were on my mind. Everybody is a bit different.

Nevertheless, I have since learned to keep a better work-life balance. I also stopped commuting.
There's nothing wrong with anything you are saying but it still doesn't make it WWIII. The tactics you describe have been continuously used for centuries.
This is why I think it's so important that tool makers take the responsibility of performance seriously.

My old company used a proprietary VPN software (Appgate SPD) that used an electron front end - why? Well the front end could be reused on Windows, Linux and MacOS. Fair enough but it was very bloated and lacked features. Compound that to half a dozen electron apps and suddenly my laptop battery dies in half the time.

We can't guarantee or mandate that every project will be written in Rust, multiple times for every platform using their native APIs - so it's on the tool makers to bridge that gap.

Electron shows that we need a robust, efficient, cross-platform, cross-language GUI API.

Would be nice to be able to use Go, Rust, Python, JavaScript or whatever and interact with an GUI interpreter that translates a familiar API to native widgets.

I realized this maybe four years ago. Since then I've just been waiting for the big companies to catch up. But I've literally never seen this mentioned, reading all comments on related stories. I read way more than I write, which is why this didn't get traction. I'm glad.

Since this wasn't upvoted, I'll leave it as a record. It won't matter; someone will make this happen soon, I think. It'll have a fancy name, which I will adopt instantly. Moderately smart companies will be impressed that I've heard of the term.
