Ask HN: Are super heroes starting to look more and more fake?
I don't know what it is but super heroes now look like some people wearing ridiculous costumes. Slightly better than novice dressing up for Halloween. It could be over reliance on digital effects but they don't mix well. Or could be too detailed costumes that didn't leave minute details to imagination and instead end up revealing plasticness. Or could be too much liberty in costume designing but hitting limits of material, i.e. fish skin fused with human skin but neither look real.

Or maybe I've changed as in watched too many anime heroes who are crafted and animated to fit character beyond what human biology would allow so real life movies feel underwhelming

you will need some kind of remote mounting mechanism. Imagine you are abroad and your power at home is off for a short period of time. How to boot remotely and mounting the encrypted filesystem?
Not an easy task. You will need some kind of dropbear ssh that you dial into and input your encryption key. Many moving parts. Don't get me started if you have to update the packages due to security fixes.

When you want to use it for the type of number crunching programs that Julia is made for.

Rust is made for making programs that currently C and C++ are used for: every tick counts, close to the metal kind of code (kernels, drivers, hi-perf, soft-realtime, etc). Julia is not even considered in that space.

This resource is great, but the saddest part is removing it from GitHub. I think it will hugely hit its visibility and create more of low quality copycats. For example, I rarely use my bookmarks or even check them out, but I constantly use my categorized GitHub stars to read the content I need. I suspect I’m not the only one doing it like this.
Indeed. The game would've made $0 less had the ending just said "The End".
In the US for copyright to transfer he'd need to be an employee and writing part of his work duties, in which case it is work for hire, or if he is a contractor they'd need a signed contract saying the contractor was performing this as work for hire, or a contract explicitly transferring ownership. They did pay him for it so Mojang had an implied license to use it but he retains ownership.

When Mojang sold Minecraft to Microsoft, they did not own the copyright and did not have a contract saying they have the right to transfer their implied license, therefore Microsoft actually is violating copyright here.

Get a domain and a proper hosting provider. I use HostGator, which is probably the bottom of the acceptable barrel. I'm sure others can come up with better hosting ideas.
OTOH, that's exactly what you'd buy if you wanted to signal to rich, snobbish prospective donors that effective altruism is here to stay; not something overly weird, cultish or otherwise low status, but rather an eminently proper destination for their philanthropic dollars - or pounds, as the case may be. As a marketing expense, it makes total sense as much as we all wish that these dynamics didn't exist.

No, v3 isn't TLS either. TLS is only used as a connector between hops (so the client connect to a node using TLS, and the nodes connect to each other using TLS), but that is it. (I think, if I'm wrong do tell me. I didn't go check the spec)
Microsoft seems to have provided some of that in the OS as open source here:

Unfortunately, it looks like it's up to the application developer to support it, unless I'm reading it wrong.
Size of Mojang is immaterial. If Apple or Microsoft hire a copywriter they'll still pay market rate. Any reason to believe the Author would have received bigger value with help of agent in 2010?
US allies buy the US nuclear umbrella. Otherwise the F-35 doesn't make much sense militarily for a lot of those who bought it.
The person who really got screwed in all this is poor Charlie, the agent. Here he is managing deals for Julian getting a percentage of those deals and Julian it sounds like is not making much, so Charlie probably isn't making much off Julian either. Julian goes and basically gives away his most successful work to ruthless Mojang and Charlie gets nothing for it at all because Julian keeps Charlie in the dark. Charlie probably would've been able to get a significant sum from either Mojang or Microsoft for both of them, but instead gets cut out completely by Julian for no good reason.
Is it really trivial and unimportant? My understanding is that the organisation's goal is figuring out how to spend money effectively and without bias. If they're spending money in an overtly wasteful and selfish way, that feels important.
Again, I never said that.

Simply replying to your snarky remark and trying to remind you that I'm a human too and what you call angrily my "capital" is basically my savings I worked hard for myself.

Can you please stop interpreting what I say as if I were some kind of surveillance asshole?

Look, I hate surveillance as much as the next guy, but I have a one man show business I believe in, and ads are the only effective way for me to tell the world about my services.

It's quite intersting seeing the difference in focus and tone between HN and the Minecraft subreddit.

Although the end poem has received criticism here, it's obvious from the thread that it's touched a lot of people.

Being friends and known a small number of "artists", the difference in mindset was extremely apparent - some of them just think and see the world fundimental very differently from the way I do. Many actions and explanations here are not that of a piece to convince or persuade, but of an individual sharing their raw self and their struggles.
Thus its been interesting to see the reaction from HN, who are obviously different in another way. HN is the Carl of the story, who also misses what the author considers the "broader point" of wanting to be treated as a friend.
At minimum, they are buying a non-exclusive license to copy the work. Beyond that is speculation.

(Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft on nothing related, and love Minecraft the game.)
Let’s say you have a trade caravan. Why should you be allowed to make money on my territory that belongs to my ancestors/I conquered fair and square? Secondly, I have a hard time understanding abstract notions of property rights. I do understand the natural law that fleshy meat is weak against pointy spears.

Globalisation as we know it requires massive amount of military effort, diplomacy, and international law to be kept alive. In the past trade was taxed to death and was limited to luxury goods only. You could only trade in small volumes to limit the risk of theft. So all essential goods had to be made in your own territory.

I also think that this is the big difference between (classical) trade and (modern) globalisation. Trade has existed since ancient times, but globalisation, where a large fraction of a nation’s essential goods are from foreign countries, is very recent and artificial.

This is really interesting to compare both general opinion on HN and on this subreddit.

On HN, a place probably filled with technical guys, people are generaly putting themselves in dev shoes. They are accusing the author of feeling entitled to more money because he felt like he was part of the team and that he think his work is equaly important as the work of everyone else. Devs being devs generaly know that coding is hard and long, and generaly don't know if writing a poem is difficult or not.

On the subreddit, a place probably filled with long time minecraft player, people are putting themselves in the artist shoes. They support the author and are thanking him for creating one of the key moment during a minecraft game : the end.

Rationality versus Emotion. Who is right, who is wrong ? Is anyone right ? Maybe both side are blinded by their beliefs ?
I've tried to use Tor, but it seems the majority of of websites will just straight out block you if you do, so it doesn't seem of much use.
Unless I misunderstand something, writing it this way afterwards also works on other platforms, which are not as flexible in that regard.
There is nothing fundamentally different between running a classical simulation on a classical computer and running a quantum simulation on a quantum computer - both are just a simulation.

So claiming that this quantum simulation of a SYK model of a wormhole is in some way actually related to a wormhole is exactly like claiming that the circuits of a supercomputer used for simulating rainfall patterns are getting wet.

Not to mention, the model being used is a toy model of a type of space-time that is not at all like our own spacetime - it's not even a simulation of a physical model, it's just a mathematical model that we already know doesn't describe the physical world.

I like any article that asks business people to put more emphasis on the ...in exchange for what? part of decision-making. That's something I have to repeat often. "I get that you want us to pursue this new thing, but what would you like to sacrifice to reclaim resources for it? My recommendation would be this, but I want us to agree before proceeding."

This article tangents another huge problem with goal-setting, though: they focus on outcome, not behaviour.

- You can control behaviour, but outcome is often to a large extent determined by external factors. You cannot will external forces into your bidding by setting a goal.

- If you just miss a goal, you've still done an amazing job -- but you're still considered to have failed to accomplish what you set out to. Goals promote a binary view of success that has little connection to reality.

- If you meet a goal, you have succeeded and can only harm yourself by doing more work. Exceeding your goals lead to even more unrealistic goals in the future.

- If you know ahead of time it will be impossible to meet a goal, you have little reason to continue because you will fail anyway. The two last points mean goals are effectively an excuse to stop doing the right thing.

- Outcomes (and therefore goals) are often lagging indicators. Even though you've made great progress in shifting course, your past momentum in the wrong direction carrying over can make it look like outcomes are still getting worse.

- In trying to satisfy goal-setters, when outcomes aren't directly controllable, people find the other thing that can be controlled: the measurement process. There are a million subtle ways for someone under a goal to put a thumb on the scale to meet the goal although nothing material has changed.

Edit: I forgot: goals are almost always focused on the short term. You can meet them by trading off long term success for short term success and indeed this is what people do.
The moat for JavaScript is web-frontend, otherwise it would not be used (note the current rewriting of most of its tooling into non-JS languages). I would not call it beginner-friendly, stable, or good for quick scripts (does node come with sqlite?). I've yet to see a stable equivalent to django/rails. Javascript's data visualisation comes from it being in the browser, which has severe limitations (e.g. the need for WASM), and it's usually much easier if you don't need to two languages to do analysis (as the JavaScript numerical and data format ecosystem is a mess).

Python's advantage is apart from web-frontend (I have no expectation PyScript will catch on), it is everywhere, even when you don't expect it to be (e.g. Bank Python, VFX, Postgres, build systems, scripting interfaces in apps). Are there better options for specific usecases? Yes, but it's when these usecases intersect that Python wins out.
I blame GoF for giving us the two worst decades in software. But in my experience, the average loud dev has mutated into the TDD + DDD fanatic. These insufferable simpletons won't only criticize your end result when it doesn't align well with their preferred abstractions but also tell you _how_ to reach that end.

Something is also brewing with functional concepts and category theory trickling down... and it doesn't smell good.
In other words, don't blame the technology that is working the way it was designed to work. Blame the people who are intentionally or unintentionally being deceptive.
This guy sure as hell likes to read his own writing, my god that post is way too long to end up just saying "me want money".

On a side note I have played Minecraft hundreds of hours and have "finished" it hundreds of times, and never noticed a poem at the end.

Like everyone I skip the credits because I'm playing Minecraft to... play Minecraft? Not to read a wall of text.
But once again, why the focus on compensation? It's a pretty small section of the article that's after the frustration with Carl.

Once again speculating, but the author didn't want to be treated like "just a contractor", and nor did that seem like how the relationship started out. Even as a contractor, I personally feel Notch could have reached out with happy words at a minimum - instead the author got silence.

Dialects are rarely written, they are spoken and while (obviously) usually someone natively speaking a given dialect can talk with someone from another near region, dialects from the north (say Lombardia or Veneto) are so different from those of the south (say Campania or Sicilia) that they are effectively distinct languages.

The above is the hypothetical case of two unschooled people, as said before most if not all italians are bi-lingual with their own dialect and switch automatically to italian (possibly with some local peculiar forms or accent) that is the common language when talking to some "foreigner".

As you say, italians can usually understand (in written form) a dialect because of the common roots, but for what it matters an Italian with some good Latin knowledge can usually get the overall sense of written text in Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian and possibly French.

The unification of language to Italian has been a process that went on for decades, through schooling and later radio and television, when Italy was re-united in the decade 1860-1870 it was a tower of Babel.

Imagine the conversation between a (unschooled) soldier from Friuli attempting to interact with a (as well unschooled) farmer in Sicily in the early years of the unified state.
I find it hilarious that we both wrote the same idea pratically at the same time, are you me from another universe ? or maybe I am you ?

Then you don't like questionning your own side or have never talked to an actual person who lived in East Germany or in USSR.

Most of the Americans I have talked to have a very flat and somewhat caricatural view of the eastern block and few are as knowledgeable as they should regarding what the CIA did abroad. As usual, there are nuances.

To be honest, as an European with a fairly unsympathetic view of the USA, the Cold War is very much a conflict between terrible and terrible.
Hard agree. On the flipside, devs also tend to overestimate the cost of already-implemented abstractions that they haven’t yet internalized, leading to complaints and lengthy refactors when they could have just spent the time to learn the abstraction…

> They had a long conversation over email and an exchange of payment for the right to at least use the poem.

I agree with that.

This would be a real encumberance if the author were to decide he wants to sue someone. But that is not what we are discussing here. We are discussing if Microsoft will sue the author.

We are not discussing if Microsoft can sue him. The way this works anyone can sue anyone for pretty much any reason. So that is not an interesting question.

So will they sue? The problem with these kind of informal contracts is that they are vague. Vague in practical terms means two things: 1 the outcome of any legal action is uncertain. 2 things take longer. This means that litigating things about them are expensive and uncertain.

And here I repeat: the question here is not if they can use it, but if they paid for exclusive rights.

So on one hand you have a huge mess of a litigation. On an other hand do you think microsoft is meaningfully and perceptibly harmed here? Do you think they will sell less game licences or ender dragon plushies because of this? I very much doubt it.

Based on the balance of these two above do you feel it is in the best interest of Microsoft to sue the author?
From a marketing perspective, I can assure you that effective altruism does itself absolutely no favors by blatantly betraying its supposed core principles.
I don't know about Swedish law but in German law works created outside of an employment contract do not automatically assign an exclusive copyright to the buyer, so at best Mojang had a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, limited usage right for the poem for the use in Minecraft and nothing else. As I understand it, this makes his claim that Microsoft may not have the right to use it questionable but it confirms his main point that they don't own it. Given that the author is German, this seems relevant.

For what it's worth, this often comes as a surprise even to many German creators who are not aware of this because intuitively if you get paid to create something "for" someone, you sell them your rights to it. But in reality that requires an explicit contract spelling this out. A typical example is professional photographers actually only selling you prints of the photos they take for you, or a design agency not giving you the source files for designs they create for you.
Well, that claim is fairly easy to test. So I did: https://gist.github.com/markuswustenberg/0030360d7d4679f2656...

Nothing fancy, just a small table that holds some blog posts with an ID, a title, some content, and a creation timestamp.

I ran the benchmark with and without WAL enabled on my Macbook Air (2020, M1) with some SSD drive inside. Results:

$ make benchmark
go test -bench=.
goos: darwin
goarch: arm64
pkg: sqlite
BenchmarkWriteBlogPost/write_blog_post_without_WAL-8 6441 191735 ns/op
BenchmarkWriteBlogPost/write_blog_post_with_WAL-8 102559 11205 ns/op
PASS
ok sqlite 3.725s

That's around 89k writes per second in parallel on all available cores with WAL enabled. I know this is a trivial setup, but adjust to your liking. You'll find that SQLite probably doesn't crash and burn with dozens of writes.
That doesn't solve the problem, because systemd developers have insinuated dependencies on it into multiple unrelated system components.

Seems like a steep price but I can see this becoming a marketable skill at some point. It feels similar to knowing how to google well, we've all internalized some google/search concepts like 'unique words' -> 'narrow results' and 'full sentences' -> 'phrase matching'. Probably there will be nuances to good gen art prompt writing.

Yes, you can change your address to anywhere in CA, and suddenly the “unable to process” issue with cancellation online goes away. This is only a problem, maybe, if you’re getting physical delivery elsewhere.

Overall though, it’s a shitshow. I’m curious how their sales funnel works there, and if they have any desire to, say, keep getting $4/month for digital stuff vs. $0/month and eternal hatred, when they try to replace the $4/month (for one year) with $38.99/month.
I always thought that Popcorn was created by Jean Michel Jarre. Nice to learn the background history of it. RIP.
I'm sure they do the same testing but because they control all the hardware and there are so few models to test on, it makes things much easier. I don't think there's anything in particular about Apple's process that would scale better to the number of devices supported by Android.
