The main part is article 7.4 "When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract." which is a bit tricky legal language to make the distinction between PII use that's actually needed to perform the contract (which doesn't need consent, e.g. address to deliver goods) and uses beyond that (e.g. using the same address afterwards for ad targeting).

The final part of recital 42 "Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment." is probably even more clarifying than recital 43.

>I wonder when did we normalize 40-60% taxation

It's generally common, these days, to blame everything that isn't perfect on the state. Pandemic? State must sort it out. Bad parents? State. Interpersonal violence? State. Crime? State. Infrastructure needed? State. Children are hungry? State.

For better or ill (and I'd say better) 40% taxation is here to stay, since we have all become left wing, now.
Isn’t GHB hangover free alcohol (other than the part where you can date rape people with it).

The real downside is that when these drugs are hangover free it’s basically like Xanax (which shares a similar chemical property to alcohol), and it’s very addictive. Alcohol is already extremely addictive

"Click fraud" is still just a subversion of a dataset that was not available to pre-digital (print, radio, TV, billboard) ads.

3-5 year contracts are maybe better than employment at will for faculty but they are of a kind with deleveraging the profession vis a vis the institution. The institutional character has shifted to big-E Education. Like big-H Health it is a rationalization of the industry that disempowers the "productive" professionals in favor of the "managerial" professionals (administrators) who manage the economic relationships (means of production/distribution) of the whole shebang. Maybe the death of tenure will augur a new age of unionization for faculty (I have my doubts).

It's Midjourney (you can tell from the way weights and parameters in the prompts are done). But yes, would be nice if they said it.
The improvements to the abbreviations is a welcome change, should enable some “macro” like workflows. Excited to try it tonight.
Midjourney produces this quality now with very little
tinkering. If you use --v 4 --q 2 to get version 4 at highest quality it takes surprisingly little prompt work to get amazing images.
The comparison was due to the licence. Both Net and FreeBSD have monolithic kernels in the style of Linux. (Or more properly, Linux is in the style of the BSD kernel.)
I would be surprised if indexes were not larger than the raw tweets.

Text search, hashtag index, some structured data for popular tweets, etc...

In order to deliver search results I would not be surprised if tweets are duplicated/denormalized, for quick search/lookup.
Midjourney is eons beyond its next best competitor (probably Dall-e 2). This quality is easily achievable.

Realized I misunderstood your question. IMO the main design problem with LaTeX from a usage-standpoint is that there are too many ways of achieving the same thing, and oftentimes none of them is a clear winner. It's still the best option for a usable, programmable typesetting language that we have (i.e writing for-loops to draw structured graphs in TikZ...)

And many would argue the concept of this being "punching down" requires at least a subconscious belief that those groups are somehow beneath other groups in the first place. Furthermore, why support punching at all?
The bet seems to on the cost/tradeoffs of producing batteries vs producing hydrogen generators. If at some point producing hydrogen generators can become more affordable and sustainable than batteries (especially from countries will low rare earth resources) it would be a win for them.
The modern web browser is a RCE vulnerability in itself. That developers seems to think this is a good idea is beyond my comprehension.

On a modern system the browser should run ideally in a virtual machine without any access to hardware or filesystem.
The commenter's goal is presumably season-shifting, which is two orders of magnitude off from feasible battery capacity. In most areas in the US, a full-roof solar system will produce enough energy in aggregate to power the home's use year-round, but there's no way to get all those summertime watt-hours into the lines in winter when the panels are dark.

But indeed, no, this just doesn't work. Best available efficiency for round-trip electrolytic fuel production / electricity generation is 40% or so, meaning that those roof panels wouldn't be enough anyway. (Also there's the problem of having every home store a winter's worth of pressurized hydrogen or whatever on-premises. Yikes.) It's not worth it.

Home solar is attractive because unlike most infrastructure it scales down really well and is actually feasible to do at the level of an individual user. But, like most infrastructure, seasonal power management is a grid-wide problem and needs to be solved at the utility level. There are plenty of tricks available there that homeowners don't have access to.

Since many people are not going to read the whole thing, I'd like to quote perhaps the most important paragraph of this, regarding Garret Hardin's "tragedy of the commons", an oft-quoted but fundamentally incorrect concept:

> When Hardin (1968, p. 1244) asked his readers to “[p]icture a pasture open to all,” he was referencing an ungoverned open-access regime from which nobody could be excluded. Yet by calling the resulting collective action problem “the tragedy of the commons,” the notion of common property became conflated with the lawless (or law-free) condition of open access. The distinction between open-access and common property was made decades ago by Ciriacy-Wantrup and Bishop (1975) and has been reiterated by Ostrom (e.g. 1999, pp. 335–336; see also Schlager and Ostrom 1992) and others (e.g. McCay 1996, p. 113; Dagan and Heller 2001, pp. 556–557; Eggertsson 2003, pp. 75–76). Yet confusion on this point has yet to be fully eradicated. Recognizing that nearly all “private” property is actually owned (or at least used) by groups, such as households or firms, offers one way around this blind spot. These everyday examples of non-tragic commons lead us to ask not whether common property is feasible at all, but rather under what circumstances and at what scale.
Ray Tracing in (Less Than) One Weekend with DLang [video]
Der Spiegal can sell advertisers ad spots like these, without targeting to specific audiences (but targeting them to specific sections on your site, e.g. different ads next to sports news and fashion news), and without tracking who exactly views them, rather relying on general audience statistics (e.g. Nielsen-like surveys of what percentage of German consumers read Der Spiegel online).

Perfectly GDPR-compliant, simple, and worked in practice for decades. Of course it's less lucrative than ads based on invasive surveillance, but if those get prohibited, that's a reasonable alternative.
Inflation can also happen when companies across the board decide that, despite record profits, they can all raise prices.
I personally don't think so, it made incredible progress very fast but it stagnates now. The more precise design you want the less likely you'll be able to generate it. It's usually very nice looking at first but once you look at the details it completely breaks apart, it's a bit like in a dream.

>... implying that algorithmic attempts at creating such dynamics in the field of artificial life (aLife) are doomed to fail.

I guess they are so meta they wondered if a dedicated AI could output an AGI agent, algorithmically. As far as their colloquial definition which speaks of jury-rigging is truly intelligent, I suspect that the road to AGI would require so much human input and reboots (have you tried turning it on and off again?) that it is not predictable by any physical theory. So it's non-physical in a strong definition of physics.

On the other hand, since they argue against classical computing, it would necessarily rely on innovative developments in various hard sciences.
My personal beef with LaTeX, other than the utterly atrocious syntax, is that it a.) endlessly barfs on your terminal during its normal operation and b.) does not respond to normal terminal interaction upon an error (wth is it expecting? I interactively edit and correct mistakes!?). So it's scroll blindness and flailing all the way, a kludgy, rickety mess. Not to mention its utter mess of a package management system.
> Mistake 1: Not using sdl2-config

Well, I disagree with this assertion, but only partially. You should use either pkg-config or the CMake package definition, depending on how your application is being built. sdl2-config is deprecated and won't be available in SDL3.
Why specifically the focus on online gaming vs. gaming in general? I would imagine the "safety" of both travel in lock step. And I wouldn't think gaming is "safer" then other fields of programming.

This, it's pointless to have char32_t if you still need to pull several megabytes of ICU to normalize the string first in order to remove characters spanning over multiple codepoints. UTF32 is arguably dangerous because of this, it's yet another attempt to replicate ASCII but with Unicode. The only sane encoding out there is UTF-8, and that's it. If you have to always assume your string is not really splittable without a library, you won't do dangerous stuff such as assuming `wcslen(L"menù") == 4`.
The first question I think you should ask yourself is: why do you want to go into game development? Is it to take part in making a AAA hit? Do you have lots of your own game designs that you'd love to see the light to day? Do you want to work on a 500-person team on a AAA title, or with two other people on your thing? What sort of games do you want to make? Depending on the answer to those questions, the path you'll want to take will be very different.

My personal dream was more on the "I want to make my own things and control everything" side, so after leaving traditional tech, I focused on releasing lots of freeware games, an active Twitter presence, and building up "brand" recognition for myself in preparation for the first commercial title.

I'm now a somewhat successful solo indie dev, and my latest game Slipways [1] pays my bills as I'm getting ready for my second big project. So this approach can work, but it is very... effort heavy. And probably nowhere close to what you want to do if your goals are different from mine.

But: if you really want it and have the programming chops already (and it looks like you do), getting into gamedev is mostly a matter of taking the plunge and seeing where that path takes you.

HN has a clear commercial tie-in: the audience has a lot of people who are looking for highly compensated software engineering jobs. The issue is all the other sites.
This is insanity. This is like saying insulting Republicans or Democrats should be punishable.
There's nothing particularly special about religion that should give it protection from criticism or "disrespect" or being insulted (also, who decides what is an insult? the religious fruitcakes? naw dawg, fucking no). Anything else is such authoritarian insanity that it feels like you're arguing in bad faith, and it just gives religious extremists the protection they need to force their ass-backwards views on everybody else while literally murdering people who they perceive as having "insulted" them or their religion.

If you want to protect "good Muslims", you need to accept liberal values that include being able to "insult" a religion without fear of violent attack.

> As for beheading punishment though, I do not have enough knowledge to comment about it.

What the fuck does this even mean? You think there's some conceivable situation where it's justified to react to "being insulted" with a beheading? You can fuck right off with the rest of the extremists.

The author writes: "Allow ad fraud detection under >legitimate interest<, which is the key thing keeping ads from being practical under the GDPR."

Unfortunately this approach means that shady companies will still break the law, since breaking the law would give them a very big advantage.
All ads would just be bought via some company fronted in some country with no regulation, or by a chain of companies that appear and disappear.
It could also be like "FTX" and "Alameda research" again - this time not tokens, but information about ads would be shared. You can easily see various ad companies coming out of nowhere - if they broke the law, their ads would work better, so everyone would jump there. Then the company would implode, so everyone would jump somewhere else.

Other option, an option that I dont like, but still an option is a move towards requiring users to make accounts. This of course is not great, since nobody (including me) wants to make accounts. But then, you can send ads to groups of accounts, or include / exclude some accounts from seeing the ads. And you can show "ad 1", then "ad 2", then "ad 3" to users. It's a bit more like TV. Less targeted of course. Since nobody (?) does that does it mean that it is not effective, or that it breaks GDPR?

On a side note: there are many apps that require you to have a subscription and show you the same few ads again and again. Do the advertisers really think that after I install app X, that I use for say 15 minutes per day - and I see the same damn add 5 times per use.. that I will buy the product? It makes me dislike their product and not want to ever buy it. Does this approach of showing the same ad again and again really work?
(I can understand that it can make me want to buy a paid version of the app, which I did at some point, but it made me hate the advertised things).
Also why do they even agree to show the same ad every few minutes?
I wouldn't say consistently, for a given prompt a lot of seeds will be total garbage. It's not uncommon even when you're very good at prompting and tuning the model to need to generate 20+ images with the same prompt to find something that's close to what you want.

So far as I know, the only way to get that functionality is to put the windows next to each other and to navigate them spatially (or to write a script that does it and bind that script to alt+tab).

But grouping windows logically based on how they're used has always just felt right, so I've never really considered that you want to keep track of the order in which windows were previously selected (using alt-tab to navigate even just three or four windows can be quite a trick). It always seemed like a necessary evil since floating-only window managers can't handle the kind of spatial focus-navigation that i3 does.

This whole article is such a mess, I don't know where to start... First, all companies try to capture consumer surplus. Second, how are ads "great value for everyone" but ads added later are "rent seeking"!? Third, Anti Trust will change none of this. In fact a company without a reliably monopoly has no option but to capture more surplus and do it sooner. Fourth, OP doesn't know what a zombie company is (one who's debt interest totally consumes it profit, so it exists only because of cheap credit and is not actually economically productive). Op is just throwing more "shit at the wall to see what sticks". Fifth, he seems very confused about corporate "profit" figures. Revenue and costs are fixed, real numbers. Profit is just made up. And since you pay taxes on profit, it's usually much lower than one would expect. Hence why Amazon is insanely large and successful but never actually makes any money. I dislike this, but I also know that as soon as anyone starts talking about a corporations profits they're making things up. Also, if GCP does close (because it's apparently so unprofitable) then that just makes Amazon (AWS) all the more dominant in the industry (so much for anti-trust). Plus how is any "start up" meant to get a few billion USD together to enter that market? And isn't a market with the largest player at 35% and no one making a profit (lol) exactly how competition is meant to look? Not to mention the 1000s of start ups that reply on these services to save them tonnes of cash!?

I am no expert on corporate structures, market structures, anti trust, accounting or economics (or anything else OP apparently is AND is the only one who sees this). But I know enough to know it's complex and there are no easy answers and anyone saying there are is either ignorant or lying.
