Does humble bundle have "products"? I thought it was just a dumping ground for when sales slowed elsewhere, not the main place to try and sell something. So financially successful would just be any money

I'm reminded of George RR Martin's quote (spoken by Varys) that "Power resides where men believe it resides." Over time technology makes it easier for small numbers of people to control larger numbers, and eventually I expect AI to bring that principle to its logical conclusion, but for now, Varys's observation remains the foundation of modern society in most places.
Redis is not simply a cache. It can be used as one but it supports many other data structures and use cases beyond that.
to be fair, I have a fairly large iTunes purchased back-catalog of tv series and movies - when I go to view the index of them on a gigabit network, it takes more time than I would expect it to. latest appletv.

but, if I hit play, it's instantaneous and I'm surprised at the quality (plus they've upgraded a ton of my purchases to 4k when I bought them at whatever I could)

if I contrast that to local plex, the plex meta-data is instantaneous, but I find it amusing that the appletv videos start more quickly.

plex îs local cache, usually still in memory, apple is building my stuff from legacy iTunes data that I doubt they cache forever for me.

that said, I think I'm ok with the tradeoff for the most part.
I don't see how this observation that C++ STL containers aren't very good somehow "shows the folly of ADTs" ?

The fact these are abstract types doesn't seem relevant, if you explicitly implemented this feature set for, say, the long type and named it "chubots_long_set" it would still suck, but it's not abstract, the abstraction played no part.

Many controversial pages on Wikipedia have a clearly identifiable bias which becomes impossible to edit because, as you mentioned, they are somewhat 'protected.'

For such instances it is always advisable to go directly to genuine source materials, e.g., case records or legal documents. Were I a teacher I would not accept any compiled source as a citation because the skill of digging deep enough to find the closest thing to the truth is too valuable to do otherwise.
> During take off and landing they do

No, they don't.

You're all over this thread talking about rules that haven't been universal for literally over a decade. Phones haven't had to be turned off for takeoff and landing for over a decade in some places. Radio transmissions haven't had to be disabled (only mobile network transmissions) for years in the USA, Australia and Europe. The Plane Wifi gets turned on when the forward door closes, and doesn't get touched until after everyone deplanes. Bluetooth isn't even disabled by default in Airplane mode anymore. There are very few holdouts on this (Air Canada for example took a very long time to formally allow bluetooth use during flight).

Hell, there's a comment above that points out this document [1], which specifically allows low-powered wireless communication on cargo tracking devices.

An interesting fact that I learned from the book Metazoa is that biological diversity was greater in the seas than on land, until about 130 million years ago, and then the explosion of diversity on land, at that time and still now, was because of a feedback loop that developed between plants and insects, with the insects allowing greater specialization among the plants, and the greater diversity among plants allowing greater diversity among insects. This was a true feedback loop, in that it would be impossible to say what the starting point was, the insects or the plants.

Thanks for doing the math; you're right!

Google Archive storage is $0.0012/month (3x cheaper than Amazon Glacier, which surprised me). 144TB would be $173/month, so 9x cheaper to keep in your home.

I think your estimate of how many DVDs you can put in a given space is a bit optimistic: you're assuming no protection between discs and that a floor-to-ceiling tower is stable. If instead we imagine putting them in cases that double their thickness and putting collections of them in boxes that add 10% to the total height, though, it's 4x cheaper to keep them in your apartment. But if you use Blu-ray instead of DVD it's 20x cheaper!
Absolutely unacceptable to not give a developer local root on their own machine. Manage profiles and install logging all you want, but requiring a developer to ask permission to install docker/git/tools they need is not security, it's incompetence.

If your employer won't give you the tools you need to do your job you should find another one. If your IT/security department is there to block you instead of help you get work done, you should also find a new job. I'm not saying walk out the door today, just that you don't deserve to be treated like that.

> I'm saying there is less reason to work hard for many young people.

There's just so "hard" one can work. The same amount of work is garnering less money: full stop. It's certainly not about "Well why work any harder?" It's that what you have is absolutely out of reach, no matter how hard you work.
Same feeling here with easymotion, sneak and others.

The built-in / with hlsearch on enter and nohlsearch on leave, together with the built-in <C-G> [1] for next match and <C-T> for previous match **while still in /** provides a faster and more natural solution because no need to read labels. From :help incsearch,

set incsearch
augroup vimrc-incsearch-highlight
autocmd!
autocmd CmdlineEnter /,\? :set hlsearch
autocmd CmdlineLeave /,\? :set nohlsearch
augroup END

From there, type / and search for 1,2,3... characters (however many you want) and see the matches on the screen thanks to hlsearch being turned on. Go to next/previous match with <C-G> or <C-T> as desired. To close the movement, hit enter as usual with /.

For instance to delete until the second match of fum, type

d/fum<C-G><ENTER>

and it is very easy to follow the current match among all highlighted matches because the current match has a different color.

Yep, I was about to reply with similar stuff but yours posted first. So it's the case when PC came out, but now as you said, modern PCs are already clusters of computers with dedicated functions.

The main differences between PC and Mainframe are around:

1. CPU instruction set.

2. Provisions for high availability/reliability and IO at scale.
Load the page, tons of images of the device, none of what the device can render and how the results look.

Based on their history my guess is overpriced and underwhelming.
> I read somewhere in the comments here that these tools are very bad at counting. Which is an interesting limitation with far reaching implications.

It may not make much difference, but it's not so much that they're bad at counting, as that they don't even try. The way the prompt is parsed and diffused doesn't allow for that sort of logic.

All a "two people" prompt or some such provides, is a hint to push the AI towards that section of latent space where training-set images titled "two people" exists.

That's not "counting", and it would be truly amazing if any sense of math emerged de-novo from this training process. Doesn't mean it can't be done — it means we aren't trying.
In this comment thread, for e.g., you can have your eyes target the [+] or [-] icons, and then click to expand/collapse those. If you had the "eye-track button" you move you eye to [+], tap button, and left click.

The main use case for me is jumping cursor close to some position while text editing. I'm a Vimmer and I typically just want to look somewhere and instantly move my cursor to where I'm looking sometimes. Easymotion style jumping is nice (I use it in fzf menus, for instance). But there's still that slight mental overhead of figuring out what I gotta type in to jump. Or if I use a mouse then I take hands off keyboard, move mouse, hands back on keyboard. Which sounds pretty simple but it's so slow compared to just jumping around in vim w/ hands always on keyboard.
I've noticed this too and its extremely frustrating.

The Great Train Robbery (1903) ends with one of the bandits pointing a pistol at the camera and shooting. Apparently, this also disturbed audiences so deeply that they got up and ran out of the movie theater. This is more of an urban legend than anything, as mentioned in the article, but it goes to show the emotional power of new technology.

It reminds you of Clarke's third law, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." I still remember the ominous feeling of receiving an unsolicited, location-based mobile notification from Google requesting a review immediately after leaving a local restaurant. Digital surveillance works by some unseen "magic" to most users, which is more dread than horror, like a hacker posting your IP and location out of nowhere just to freak you out.
With Stable Diffusion & co. I've had the opposite sensation. I was completely floored as to how it blew past all of my expectations.
CK2 was really starting to strain under the weight of those expansions. The idea of just re-implementing the thing but with the knowledge of the ending scope seems quite promising (haven't had a chance to check it out, though).

Where in the world are you getting this idea? I'm working as hard as I can. It just doesn't go very far. Look at the rise of housing prices and inflation. Look at interest rates. I can't even tread water, and to think it's any different is looking at a place of privilege I do not enjoy, and I'm calling you out on it.
> like with Android

Most people when they think of Android or the Google Play store they think of a cesspool of ugly inconsistent amateurish trashware.
I interviewed at Magic Leap in 2017 when it was a mysterious secret company. Flew down to Ft Lauderdale and interviewed for a whole day. At the end of the day was a demo of their product, an area with 20 feet curtains across from Rony’s glass office. They put a tethered headset and the rest is complete and utter awe. Magic Leap’s tech has mimics accommodation of a real human eye (‘accommodation’ is a technical term related to depth + scale perception). They put on two demos. First one was cyberpunk brass mosquito and another was to overlay the wall in front of me with a massive theater screen. I was totally blown away by the resolution and clarity. It was like AR but with 20% window tint. Magic Leap somehow mimics accommodation of your eyes so that a 50 ft theater screen looks not like a postage stamp, both occupy the same FOV in your vision, but actually make it feel like a 50 ft screen. It was unreal.

I couldn’t publicly say these things because of NDA but I don't think they give a shit anymore after 5 years and I don’t either.

Magic Leap’s failure was in manufacturing from what I’ve heard from other employees working there. They had set up a line at their Florida factory, buying an old Motorola facility, but it was really hard to mass manufacture optics at an affordable price. I was totally sold on the tech. I can see why Google invested $2B in Rony’s vision. I feel bad for them because they were so secretive and made huge bets on full stack: optics to headset to content. They wanted to go all in on production of exclusive content. Sort of like the PlayStation model - Take a loss on hardware. I saw a magical campus, full of animation posters and characters, kind of like visiting Pixar studios. I also feel bad for their employees.

Others are calling it the Theranos of VR but unlike them, they didn’t hurt anyone and it was worth a shot. I went on the factory floor during the interview (only a small section where calibrated optics). I saw all the stuff. It was not malice; I blame their stupid PR team that propped up so much hype that expectations were out of control. Blame Rony for that but also when you have a tech like that, I can imagine the confidence that it brings. Just remember, stuff fails. Don’t get nasty about it. There were real genuine people working there; I didn’t get the job but it was totally the right thing to happen to me in retrospect. Just sad to see what shitty PR strategy does to public - Rony probably learned a few lessons from this. I wish them good luck with this enterprise/industrial pivot. I am thinking of buying a dev kit.
> It's a grotesque amount per device

Again. It is not just for device data.

There are backend services which your device interacts with e.g. Maps, Siri, Weather.
But if someone takes your land, you lose it. If someone looks at a bootleg photo of your land you still have your land, if you ever choose to monetize it again.
Why are they explaining my own situation to me as if they're some sort of expert?
It means that anything this user says has to be 'vouched for' by someone more popular in the community before it can be seen by all accounts. It's a button next to the "X minutes ago" field on a post that allows users like me to signal "this one's okay to be seen". You should have this ability already, as your account fits the requirements for it.
What is wrong with CQL? The only gotcha I am aware of is UPDATE/INSERT really just meaning UPSERT.
Meanwhile, in Stellaris:

> pew, pew. pew pew pew!

Seriously though thanks for this. I picked up EUIII a little while ago and also Crusader Kings, but couldn't work out how either of them worked really. Stellaris took me a little while, but I got there. I think you might have convinced me to pick up Victoria.
Worked there, managed a lot of the teams. An agent is considered a node. So you could have X nodes per server if that clears items up. Even agent per X jbod. The teams are very smart on blast radius and sharding. When I left I had exabytes of data under my mgmt and happy to chat if anyone wants to DM. Folks often forget how many users and services Apple has.
yep, I have about 1 TB of data I backed up 5 years ago that I was looking thru. I used the BDXL 100 GB disks.

I’m a huge fan of mdisk but I’m not sure it makes much sense in the era of cheap cloud storage. There are many companies now that will give TB of storage for 9$/month. Also there is cheap archival storage on AWS.
It's like Medium but with a much higher ratio of quality blogs to garbage.
And does anything eat those fleas?
Yeah right. 1000 years is technically time limited, you may not like it but that's life buddy! Just accept our rent seeking and pay us our royalties for a thousand years because our grand grand grand children need to live comfortably off of the works.

What a load of total BS. We're doing them a favor by granting them artificial scarcity at all. We can easily make it last 0 years if we want. We have the technology.
That's a good point - we have to be confronted with opinions we don't agree with such that we maintain our mental muscles for reasoning about why some ideas are wrong/bad. Otherwise if we're only fed a stream of things we agree with, that can be used to smuggle in bad/wrong ideas without our knowing it or having much ability to confront it. Not to mention that every once in a while you're confronted with some challenging ideas that compel a change in worldview in a positive way!

This has probably occurred in certain communities but 'clean-room' documentation may have been written by third-parties from an understanding of non-public information and as long as the developer(s) nor the writers of said documentation were involved in any malice towards obtaining said information it is probably somewhat ok.
> many of the fungal species in question are widespread, which makes sample contamination a serious concern, says Iliev.

> Both research teams got most of their tissue and blood samples from databases, so the samples were not collected with the aim of minimizing fungal contamination, says Bhatt. Although the researchers developed methods to filter any potential contaminants out of the sequencing data, she would like to see the results replicated using samples taken in a sterile environment.

Uh what.
Substack might be the new medium, and I think that's a good thing. Substack has a way for writers to get paid. I do pay for a few writers on substack, I don't even know if that is a thing at medium. Best thing about Substack over Medium, is that Medium was the most annoying blogging platform, it didn't like that I highlighted as I read. And it was really bad at finding more from an author.
I just cannot fathom how billions of dollars are spent into developing a product -- that is just marketed so poorly. The call on the landing page is "Where to buy." Buy what!?!

There is not a single, cool, "everyday-relatable" use-case presented on the web announcement. I wish I could have a reason to purchase this.

I'm craving just a single video or even GIF -- that depicts even the slightest, animated hint of what the interactive experience will be like -- if one were to put these MLs on.
<< Force 'em, who cares? That's competition.

This is where I think the disconnect lies. You think it is about competition and business model. You think the best product wins. You think that just because Steam's product is better, it automatically follows that they would not be subject to whims and vagaries of the court systems ( yes, systems ). Creators and users are not meaningless, but serve as mere pawns to be traded between warring corporate entities. As users, best we can hope for is that current retarded copyrights are not enforced harder than they are already.

Nintendo's financial status is public knowledge as they are a public company. Steam's profit and warchest is unknown, but estimated below Nintendo. In short, if both sides dig in, it could be a while.

I am fine with Nintendo going down as a result of that potential fight, but are you ok with it being a pyrrhic victory, where US legal copyright landscape changes further to the user's detriment?

Do you care about that?
There’s two good things about agile/scrum: breaking work up into manageable chunks; and having daily check-ins to make sure people aren’t doing the wrong thing for months on end. The rest can be ignored.
The claim that I was replying to was that the reaction to CSAM scanning was the reason Apple didn’t implement additional E2EE for iCloud storage. When in fact CSAM scanning was neither a legal nor technical requirement for expanding E2EE in iCloud.

Your question as to why so many companies gravitate towards the same anti-user patterns is both unrelated and pointless.
It's been available for about a decade at this point.

Why bother? That's a good question. I think the answer is "because 5% will be cured and another 20% will have some response which means they may live another few years."

But the problem is, you won't know who benefits and who doesn't. So do you deny everyone a chance at a 5% cure of 20% chance of a longer life? No, you treat everyone and see what happens.

The UK government put a price of ~25,000GBP per year of life (quality adjusted). So even if people are cured there is value in extending years of life.
Well that didn't last long, I saw the tweet a few minutes ago but now it's been deleted. PR in action?
Competitive as: it's going to be a booming market with a lot of actors, if you are not aggressive with your pricing, it'll be hard for you to find customers willing to test your products, it'll slow down adoption, giving enough room for other actors to get ahead of you

Apple's iPhone for example, a new kind of device, and their pricing was pretty aggressive, and they didn't use the "enterprise" argument to raise their price, quite the opposite

Same when their launched their ARM laptops, aggressive pricing to catch people

But it doesn't matter, they made the same mistake when they released Magic Leap 1, and they double down on that same mistake

I'm not an investor so i don't care, but if you are, you should be worried
This is some really fantastic, detailed analysis. I'm almost always impressed by the synthesis of knowledge required to be authoritative on expansive topics like this one.
