Then Activision-Blizzard is indie.

You have to at least put a floor on that thing or you fall completely afoul of the common meaning.

My rule of thumb would be less than $1 million spent before the first public release ? (Which I assume makes Minecraft indie ?)

Now another question is whether you can even call indie those games being advertised and distributed by Steam (or any other platform) where developers are overwelmingly dependent on that platform for like 95%+ of their sales (including keys from third party websites still for that platform) - because dealing with advertisers and distributors was also an extremely important part of the job when games still came in boxes !
This is very interesting but I'm curious why the researchers chose to focus on pressurized commercial toilets as apposed to the non-pressurized, gravity-fed residential toilets that most of us[0] likely use far more frequently.

The author talks about the team at the time of the 1.0 release, I think. Then Markus stopped working on Minecraft altogether while Mojang grew to support the game and explore new ventures.

Being able to answer this question will earn you millions, of not billions. However, considering neural networks works by banging their training sets together and emitting the resulting sparks, it certainly regurgitated its training set.

You did a few weeks of work and made 20K, sounds like a good deal. The folks getting the bonusses worked for years.
From the article:

> See for example the New York Times and Quanta and Ars Technica and Nature

And the Quanta[1] (which is usually great) was probably the worst of the lot. The Nature paper had a title that probably caused the whole mess. The NYT (ironically since it is the most mainstream of the lot) did a pretty good job.

Let me quote the Quanta article:

> Physicists have purportedly created the first-ever wormhole, a kind of tunnel theorized in 1935 by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen that leads from one place to another by passing into an extra dimension of space.

> The wormhole emerged like a hologram out of quantum bits of information, or “qubits,” stored in tiny superconducting circuits. By manipulating the qubits, the physicists then sent information through the wormhole, they reported today in the journal Nature.

If specialist science communication sources like Quanta are getting this so badly wrong then I don't think it is at all reasonable to blame mainstream media which acts an an aggregator from specialist sources.

I'm glad you had that experience. In my experiences with both website based and call center based chat bots, the primary goal is to make it as difficult as possible to reach a real person, if I have a detailed question. I'll get a few menu options and maybe a link to an FAQ. I find it unbearable.

Well, sometimes your identity is referenced in a group setting while you're part of the group, say when a manager praises your work in a standup: "MikePlacid did a really good job with this feature, you should all be like _". I'm guessing people know which pronoun to use in those situations when talking about you, probably because you regularly broadcast your identity as a Russian male.

The English-speaking world has largely settled on singular 'they' as a catch-all for the small minority that prefers neither he or she. Practically it looks like an extra drop-down option on official forms, and when you meet someone who looks like they don't try to go with a stereotype of any particular gender you can optionally ask them what pronoun they go by.

Those made-up pronouns are a fringe thing, some internet communities will make them into a game. On the other hand, if we met and you preferred we switched to Russian, I would totally try to accommodate that!

This is called "empathy".
What’s missing is context - Fortnight’s account is in breach of the agreement and can’t deliver updates to address issues with the latest version of iOS.

This is identical to any developer that doesn’t deliver updates or suspends their developer account.

Those which have downloaded Fortnight at least once can still download and use the game on earlier versions of iOS and even with iOS 16 by following certain mitigations.

Contrary to some online posts Apple haven’t done anything unique to the fortnight account.

You haven't answered the question. That Mojang paid some money isn't disputed. What they paid for is the unknown.

> It is a reasonable amount of money for the kind of work that was completed.

Paying to use something isn't the same as paying to own it and from what we know use vs own wasn't clarified at the time.

> Both sides didn't clear up the legal side of things, yes, but it doesn't change the fact that both were OK with it until... until what?

What changed was Mojang trying to strong arm the author into giving them the copyright to the work for free, as part of a due diligence process in a billion dollar deal.

Copyright isn't automatically transferred in most places and it doesn't sound like the author typically agrees to anything other than a license. Mojang failed take action to obtain the copyright until it became obvious that it could hold up their billion dollar acquisition. Mojang then attempted to pressure the author into signing over the copyright for free.

The author clearly believes he granted a license. Mojang seem to have unilaterally decided post-facto that they had purchased the copyright to the work. Mojang's interpretation would be incorrect without prior agreement.

I'm also waiting but for repo activity logs, in my case a PAT was "compromised" and reset by Github.
In 2018, some mathematicians proved that any non-negative integer subset with a positive limit density (for some eps>0 and all large enough n, the subset contains at least eps*n numbers below n) contains a sumset, i.e. a set C that can be written as the sum of two infinite sets C = A + B (the set of a+b where a in A and b in B). More recently, they extended this to sums of more than two infinite sets.
How in the hell?

A few weeks ago, I had Amazon accidentally send me someone else's package, who lives about five blocks away from me. Not even the same street name. But it reported my own package as having been delivered, which clearly was not the case.

I wrestled with that stupid chatbot for probably two hours. There was no option in its menu for this specific problem. It would only allow to report not receiving something, and the only option given to me was to wait a few more days, or report the wrong item had been delivered, in which case I needed to send it back. I tried calling the support phone number instead, but it was just the same chatbot but over voice, with the same options.

But this wasn't my problem. I had the right package. It just wasn't mine. It wasn't addressed to me. If I returned it, how would they know if it was me who sent it back?

I don't even remember how I finally found a phone number to call that connected me to a human, but I'm pretty sure I had to outside of Amazon to find it. As soon as I got connected to a human and explained what happened, they were more or less instantly able to help me, but it was incredibly frustrating not having the bot itself give me an option to talk to a human. I could only complete it's automated workflows.

Amusingly, the CSR told me to just keep this other guy's package and they'd send him another, even though I could have easily walked down the street and given it to him. Fine, I guess. It was a pressure washer attachment that actually does fit my pressure washer.
I know it's ridiculous but I genuinely didn't realise I had tinnitus for so long, precisely because I've had it all my life and so just assumed that tinnitus must be something different. I genuinely can't imagine not having it.
Whitening the skin and features of important figures in history is a habit of western civilization. Im never surprised when I see the deception continue in western academia.

I don't think slave is a forbidden word. Maybe I was too strong in my own wording. I didn't mean "slave" specifically, but any word used incorectly, and especialy those with negative connotations, used as a quick way to "win" an argument.

>and it wasn't used in anyway that deviated from standard use.

Slave:[0]

1
a person held in forced servitude

2
disapproving : a person who is completely subservient to a dominating influence
a slave to fashion/technology

3
: a device (such as the printer of a computer) that is directly responsive to another

4
: drudge, toiler

While 4 could have been the intent here (2 has a negative conotation for the slave) if we only look at it's ability to descibe the relationship between China and the US, looking at the whole sentence:

In other words, slave moved up the value chain and no longer wants to slave for their masters.

It is clear that 1 is being used here. We are using slave as both a noun and a verb, and describing the US as the master. I should also note that 1 is by far the most common definition, and other dictionaries have only that one when used as a noun.[1]

If you spend enough time with it you can quickly start to see the building blocks. More than just the similarities you see in several works by the same person.

If you’ve ever played a video game where the levels are programmatically generated, you’ll eventually notice the modular nature of everything. It becomes very noticeable and it’s different from noticing natural patterns that arise in a completely handcrafted level.

GPT is exactly like that.

You won’t notice it with short output. But ask it to keep going and write the next verse of that sonnet. Keep going and it gets VERY repetitive in a way that a human poet doesn’t.

Also keep in mind that the examples you’re seeing are a form of sample bias. You’re seeing output curated by humans.

Hello fellow redhatter in the kernel engineering group ;)
Not a lawyer, but… I don’t believe that’s true. As I understand it ‘work for hire’ is the basis by which work done by an employee creates intellectual property belonging to an employer. When you contract a non employee to produce intellectual property for you it is common to write an explicit ‘work for hire’ agreement that ensures that the work you are paying for is handled on the same basis as work by an employee.

Ask HN: Why was this post flagged – what is the policy on titles?
I don't get it why did this post get flagged https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33892944

- I've used the original title
- nature.com is well known site

I've noticed that sometimes when I change the title I get called upon that fact I people tell in comments that I should use the original title. When I leave the original title sometimes I get comments that the title is clickbait.

So what is the best way to post: with original title or change it? I really don't see what would be the problem with "Direct detection of ultralight dark matter bound to the Sun with space quantum sensors" as title.
Not surprising after they got rid of so many devs, reminds me of another company who did that recently, I wonder how long we will have to wait for that to start having issues.
If the corpus of verified, good translations comes down hard then the ability of machine translation to improve much beyond its current state or to deal with language changes will be limited.

The issue with things like machine translation is how to compensate the humans that fund and create the translations going into the machine - they are not redundant.

What do you mean growing your system? “How do you run more service?” Or “how do you handle more traffic?” Or “how do you handle more complexity of the application?”

All of these can be handled with any or many of VM images, containers, home-built packages and configuration-management tools.

If you're following the latest trend, you just run VM based on an image with pre-installed kubernetes.

Want to run more services? Just deploy more services on your k8s cluster. Want to scale horizontally to handle more traffic? Just boot up more VMs with the same image, and increase the size of your k8s pods. Want to handle multiple more complexity, split your job into micro services, and give responsibility of different namespaces to different teams.

If you're using a late 2000s, early 2010s model, you would just use VM, and boot them when necessary. You have a VM with HAProxy with dynamic backends.

Want to run more services? Just add more to the base image and route between them with a nginx local to your base VM image. Want to handle more traffic, just spin up more VMs with the base image. Want to handle more complexity? Use multiple types of VMs with different base images, depending on the service, and give the responsability to each team for configuring the base image.

I can go on and on for packages and/or configuration-management tools. But I think you get the idea.
>that it only uses the snap package manager and nothing else

I've been having a weird EDID issue for a few months now. Ever since using a new laptop my external monitor's EDID will quite reliably corrupt when I try to (re)attach it using HDMI while the system is running. It's always the same, singular byte in the EDID that changes - even though the EEPROM appears to be write-protected. In fact, every time this happens I have to go into the monitor's hidden service menu and disable write-protection in order to write back the correct byte over I2C.

This thankfully never happens if the monitor is connected before the laptop boots. But I have no idea if this is fundamentally a problem with the laptop or the monitor since my previous computer never triggered this issue.

I'm glad EDID tools and resources exist for Linux. If I ran Windows exclusively I'm pretty sure I wouldn't ever have figured out how to write to I2C.

I don't know if I'm shocked or impressed at how directly he states that the reason for the change is the stock market.

Basically, if I'm reading this right: "Our business is doing great! We're going to keep doing great! But the stock market doesn't agree. So even though the stock market has zero impact on our revenues or expenses, I want to keep my board happy. So we're letting you go. But it has nothing to do with the company, my leadership, or your performance. Just whiny stockholders."

I know companies do this all the time, but this seems as cold as liquid helium to me.

Does this include hr and medical benefits? The first and third are legitimate discussions with hr/benefits people and coworkers: where to get them, amount of coverage, vesting before full health insurance kicks in, coverage of travel costs based on job location, etc.

It ain’t politics when medical issues appear. And a whole lotta people don’t like being treated like a child.

Edit: to be fair, this policy should also ban discussions of religion, politics, guns, …. Would be simpler to list what can be discussed at a work site or on work devices.

Especially true if the person/bot you're chatting with can't actually do anything they claim.

My car needed it's winter tires put on (in Canada, you need different tires when it gets too cold because rubber compounds are weird). I went to the website to find the phone number but hey there's a new pop up offering live chat!

I chatted. It was obviously pretty quickly it was a bot, as it mistook my last name for my first name and despite repeatedly asking it to correct that it wouldn't. Eventually it had taken down my information and said someone would call to confirm.

No one called.

day later I called them to ask what's up. The person on the phone said that no one who can actually book appointments ever receives any details from the bot.

Some executive decided it would be great to have a bot to book appointments, and so the software team just added a fake one.

White nationalism has played itself in the past few years.

Several shootings or terror incidents were from them in the USA.
Like the car driver who drove into a protest, the guys who shot up gay clubs, the January 6 United States Capitol attack...

In other countries too, they're on watchlists.
Germany just arrested over 20 far right militants who wanted to overthrow the government.
In France, a group lead by Rémy Daillet-Wiedemann planned that too. But they were stopped when they kidnapped a little girl, military-style, to save her from the government.
