There's an interesting thing in that the sales numbers and the narratives differed strongly in that generation.

The Gamecube, while having sales nearly equal to the original XBox, is beloved mostly in retrospect; at the time of release the consensus between North American enthusiast press and corporate PR swung strongly in favor of "grown up" games(i.e. 90's edginess with swearing, gore, and boob) while Nintendo was still making "kiddie" stuff. Of course, plenty of folks bought Nintendo's offering anyway, but it wasn't clear what their strategy was at that point. They gained their now-standard reluctance to push graphics tech further on consoles with the Gamecube; it was a well-rounded game player, straightforward enough to develop for, and not hugely different from the others in spec, but it avoided doing really flashy graphics demos. And for the press, who had gotten used to talking about how high tech and advanced every release was, and how big the production budgets were, this was an affront. If you make smaller games with less graphics that aren't for the reviewer's specific demographic, their job is harder and needs more nuance.

And so while the larger side of the market aided and abetted a "gamer" image, which was really just catering to whomever would give them more coverage - Nintendo stuck to its own plan. It could afford to; every portable system was a hit. So they started making their consoles more like their portables after the missteps of the N64(which was a graphics beast, but too hard for most developers to delve deep into).

The reality, of course, was that the GCN quickly became a fixture in college dorms because it had good party games like Smash and the Mario Kart series. It was there right along with the PS2 and XBox and their exclusives, and
yet when you saw interviews with game industry producers and the like, nobody at the time said "we should be more like Nintendo". They wanted a GTA or a first-person shooter with better lighting effects. And there was a xenophobic "beat Japan" angle among some in favoring Microsoft over Sony or Nintendo. In effect, they gaslit some part of the gaming audience in order to push the type of games they were making and the country that games should come from. It was only later in the 2000's with the next generation releases that critical backlash against the "grey/brown shooter" arose and Nintendo's position was championed - though not by everyone.
Wingspan (2019) was my favorite new (to me) game. I like that you can strategize and compete without directly getting in each other's way. It's great if you're tired of making enemies during games.

Other long term favorites are Castles of Burgundy, Scythe, and Viticulture.
Based on what? I can pull up a dozen computer crime acts (that aren't targeted towards children) and find much less.

They're probably going to plea, and their plea will probably not be to wire fraud. They probably all have low criminal history scores.

Here's a similar situation where the guy lost at trial: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/06/downthem-ddos-for-hire-b...

If these kids plea — and they probably will — they'll probably get 1-2 years + 3 years probation if that. Their lawyer will bring up the comparable at sentencing and the judge will consider it.
The vast majority of military ships and aircraft operating domestically have collision avoidance (ADSB/AIS out) turned on. When conducting sensitive operations they can turn it off, but must be in direct communications with the appropriate controlling authority and almost always have a primary radar system active.

The value proposition of L5 systems is also the not driving part.
I rather like jQuery as it just patches over so much of the DOM API, which offends my sensibilities of what a "good API" should look like. I don't think the jQuery API is perfect, but it's a lot better.

But I never really liked jQuery UI, either as a user or developer. As a user, the whole "desktop semantics in your browser" is one of those things that was worth trying 15 years ago, but it mostly never really worked all that well, and pretty much everyone has dropped it.

As a developer I feel jQuery UI is too complex for what it does, partly because of the above.

At any rate, jQuery and jQuery UI are two entirely different projects.
My guess is that self driving cars are already far, far better than human drivers at not hitting pedestrians.

>Or if Facebook hadn't existed, somehow the same people would have been inspired to kill the same man?

Yes absolutely I am directly saying this and imo your points support my argument. When there is no Facebook, ppl use the radio to incite violence. When there is no radio, ppl use newspapers to incite and organize violence. And when there is no newspapers, ppl find a way to get their hate killing done anyway. There’s thousands of years of examples.

I don’t know what definition you are using for the word “often” but it seems like it’s not the usual definition of being frequency based. This is because, again, thousands of years of human ethnic violence happened where humans didn’t not have the capability of broadcast media. If we just count up the number of data points, it doesn’t make sense to apply the word “often” here at all.
"a machine that can out-write anyone, out-draw anyone, out-sing, out-code, out-everything, everyone, ever"

What does it mean to "out-write" or "out-draw" someone?

If you created an oil painting of an apple, and I created a charcoal drawing of a cabin in the woods, how can we possible say who "out created" the other?
Do you win because your apple was done in oils and might look more "realistic"? Or do I win because I picked a broader more complex scene?
Maybe you rendered your apple with a nuanced difference only you truly understand.
Maybe I rendered the cabin in a way that plays on our very expectations of how cabins should be rendered.

Do you see how it is a losing battle to compare these things? Such is the nature of our reality and appreciation of feelings and beauty that I can ALWAYS find a new axis on which to critique or glorify any given art produced by anyone ever.

I can even find things that were never intended to be "artworks" created thousands of years ago, and find artistic connection to them, value them higher than things made with greater effort or intent.

There are many rock and roll songs that share huge structural similarity and styles, but ultimately you will like some of them, and someone else will maybe like some that you do, and also their own set of preferences.
How do we say which is the more "valid" or "well done" rock song?
How do we account for the classics?

Art in reality (to me) is the exact opposite of empirical statements like "best of" or "better", there is only the artwork and how it makes me feel, what I imagine the artist felt when making it and so on and so forth.

All the niche cultures we have today are the precise result of people rejecting the idea that something has already been created to sufficient specification and scope, instead opting to create new divergences on the discovered themes.

"I'm mad that leonardo can't be as good as the AI."
If anything AI owes its existence to Leo as AI is an extension and result of our own minds, if anything the AI should be mad that it will never be us.
I think your frustration and anxiety over AI is healthy but be wary of letting it control you, there is a lot more to the picture than " we are all f*ked! goddamn this cruel fate! "
Yes, I see some people promote that idea but that was never the expectation on the part of the self-driving car creators, or the regulators. They also don't expect cars to be able to solve complex philosophical questions regarding trolleys. Nor does the general public have that expectation.
Makes you wonder what companies are being used for cover stories today?

Not exactly. SRAM will be replaced by other technologies that can if and only if there is a commensurate increase in speed (since that's the whole point of using SRAM over DRAM).

> No apparent reason? He bought one of the biggest influence platforms on the planet and roughly simultaneously began heavily pumping the narratives of the MAGA faction, making throwaway declarations of political neutrality.

The "no apparent reason" was not about the what but the how.

Buying one of the biggest influence platforms on the planet makes complete sense, especially if a) it's currently used to advance political ideologies which you can plausibly regard as a real risk to your other business ventures and b) you are a world-class communicator on the platform and that is one of your strongest assets.

So does eliminating (the hostile and plainly incompetent) top management and the majority of the work force.

But in terms of overall execution quality things look a bit like Putin's Ukraine invasion; I'd wager that the majority of erstwhile enthusiastic supporters of the whole thing would probably politely decline front-line participation at this point.

A very good observation. Based on your comment, I think we can relax the requirement stated by OP by saying:

"Until Waymo's cars reduce any individual's chance of an accident."

So for example, suppose a Waymo car is better than humans overall, but tends to do worse than humans when there's a small bump on the road. And suppose that all humans (in a given regulator's area, e.g., California) tend to encounter such bumps at roughly the same rate (per mile driven) over their lifetime. In that case, it's probably going to be acceptable, since every individual is better off.

I don't know, maybe this is not impactful / obvious enough for people to care about?

What certainly is obvious is that the safest drivers are much safer than an average driver (does anyone know of a study that estimates this ratio?). Therefore, at the very least, the threshold for Waymo should be not the average accident rate, but the accident rate for the safest drivers.
I wrote my original comment at the midnight hour as I was falling asleep; I should have clarified that I meant more ancient than that, i.e. pre-agriculture, post-cave dwelling.

More along the lines of:

I understand how this kind of thing doesn't track very well as a strategy overall in more complex & modern environments.
The even more insane part is that the newest FSD turns off a the distance sensors and tries to rely entirely on computer vision, even though it has blind spots and computer vision is one of those fields where success is still measured in statistical deviance. The newest Teslas don't even ship with the sensors anymore. It's like Elon is setting them up to fail.
I've been explicit twice that I'm not arguing about whether or not Musk tried to renege on his contract, but for the third time: I'm questioning the parent's claim about whether he reneged and then changed his mind __again__. That said, if you commit to buying a car, but the car that is delivered to you is not what you ordered, you absolutely are not compelled to take delivery--this is basically what Musk was asserting: that the Twitter that was advertised was not the Twitter that was being delivered. Apparently it was looking like the court wasn't buying that claim, which spurred Musk to move forward with the acquisition.

Fast ethernet is getting cheaper than ever - you can easily get 10gb on consumer gear or even 20 and used hardware on I believe 40 or maybe 100 is getting pretty affordable.
I've been following it pretty closely. I don't consider Teslas to be anywhere near self driving. By saying "these cars" I was referring to Waymo.
I didn’t mean it as an absolute assertion, but I can see that I didn’t make that clear.
You assume good intentions with these people, that is not what has been on display for the last few years. A general rule of thumb is that anybody engaged in identity politics is a horrible human being, and discussion with them is generally an exercise in futility.

These are people who literally start every discussion with the idea that people of different races should be treated differently based on the color of their skin. So I suspect they're projecting a bit, since that is precisely Nazi ideology cloaked in a different skin (literally).
Its not a 2022 board game - but I would really recommend Carcassonne with these two expansions:

- Traders and Builders [1]

- Inns and Cathedrals [2]

The base itself is little limited - but with these two expansions you have one of the best sets for a nice evening with friends. You can also add River or River II expansion - but they only 'divert' the beginning of the game - so you can omit them.

The Carcassonne is really a simple game - yet it takes real thinking and strategy to really master it.

What I like the most about Carcassonne is its 'minimalistic' approach. There are roads/cities/grasslands/monasteries ... and nothing else ... yet taking someone else' city or road is very important strategic move - or splitting the work between X players.

You do not need cards, figures, notes, calculators, excel or dice. You just play and move the cones on the scoring board.

Reminder that in the federal system, the judge can ultimately decide what happens. If you are charged by complaint and plea, that'll play better than being indicted and losing at trial. You generally don't get more favorable sentences when you lose at trial, though.
I've worked for a few UK departments and been very impressed with not only their adherence to WCAG 2.1 AAA on user-facing tools, but also on internal administration tools. Accessibility is strictly required and your project will not be allowed to be released without it.
Domain verification doesn't do anything to prove that the target is a willing participant. A DNS record doesn't indicate that you own the underlying IP or CNAME target. At best DNS based verification are only good at verifying things that specifically relate to the domain (SSL for example).

> Yes they don't give you compile-time type-checking, which would be useful indeed. But as hinted at the excerpts above, in practice compile-time type-checking can slow you down.

This is backwards. Having your type system be unplanned and ad-hoc is what makes it slow and complex (thus TypeScript, which had to retrofit a type system onto JavaScript), and making types be arbitrary runtime code is the epitome of that. There are better points on the expressivity/constraint tradeoff, but you'll only ever reach them by designing them into your programming language up-front; you can't retrofit consistency.

It's the constituents that voted for those politicians or support those influential people who are marginalized. You know in this case, almost 50% of the country. By silencing politicians especially (in a democracy anyways) you silence the people behind them.

People don't always agree 100% with their politicians. But by banning them you take away their voice entirely.

> From my understanding it's initially meant for use e.g. in slow moving traffic jams on highways.

I'm guessing the feasibility of this is very city-dependent. in LA, the usual traffic pattern is "drive 60-70 mph for 20 seconds, slow down to 5 mph for 60 seconds, repeat". (Granted that that's because of poor drivers, it would be better to have a consistent speed of 30 mph, but there's nothing Mercedes can do about that either way.)

How is your experience the direct opposite of the parent post, given the same change?
3d opens up a few extra possibilities for us, but i think there's definitely advantages to 2d as well and seeing every solder joint on the arduino board is just a waste of cpu/memory at the moment. We have some camera presets that let you position the camera directly overhead for a top-down view which effectively is a 2d building experience. We might create a dedicated 2d view if there's enough demand for it!
> Do average joes, SUV driving soccer moms or suburban white collar workers go around with a ruler measuring their panel gaps with others like "yeah your Tesla is cool and all, but sorry, my Audi A5 has much tighter panel gaps which is what matters most you know"?

Average Joes and soccer moms in a typical suburban area cannot even afford Teslas and are extremely happy with their Odysseys, Seinnas and Pacificas. Even an Audi A5 is cheaper than a Model 3 in most cases and Audi's ride quality and cabin noise is extremely better than any Tesla I have ridden in. Audi interiors (though not as good as its other German competitors) beat Tesla by a mile.
I once scripted Farmville, and quickly overtook all my friends who played it. Then somewhere at level 60 or 80 the game became so extremely slow that I gave up. The game could only handle a certain number of clicks per second, and the script would have to run for dozens of hours to gain yet another level.

EDIT: That's because gaining levels required XP, and there was literally 1 XP for each click, regardless of what you did. You could figure out a strategy to get more gold, but I already had way more gold than I could spend. But there was no strategy to get more XP other than "click more". Up to certain level it was manageable, I just let the script run when I was away from the computer, and it took a few minutes to gain another level. Up to certain point, the required XP per level grew quadratically; behind that point it started growing exponentially, so I knew that I could never make more than 5 or 10 more levels past that point.
Some context: D3.js (https://d3js.org) is a popular and influential JavaScript library for building data-driven visualizations. There are a zillion awesome examples of using it to create all variety of diagrams with animations, interactivity, and live data sources. Arguably, D3 doesn't know much about any specific type of visualization, but it's the toolkit to assemble whatever you want.

Observable Plot is a separate library that focuses on the higher level task of generating specific common plots and charts. Compare a bar chart in D3 (https://observablehq.com/@d3/bar-chart) with Observable Plot (https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-bar). The former involves creating SVG elements, the latter is just a function call.

The APIs are worth studying because they've decomposed visualization into elemental components that can be recombined. Using D3 can be like writing React for the first time, requiring a new mindset.

Both libraries come from the same prolific author, Mike Bostock (@mbostock here), who previously worked on visualizations for the New York Times. Mike's new company, Observable (https://observablehq.com), a very thoughtful take on computational notebooks, is also worth a look.

I've been secretly hoping he'll take on Graphviz next.
