Ah, I get it! So Pathfinder 1st Ed was based in a version of D&D (3.5) which already used version OGL+! That's the piece of the puzzle I was missing: the minute Paizo decided to fork D&D, they became locked into this unfortunate licensing choice, at the mercy of future license updates. I also understand you cannot decide to use a "pinned" version if the original you're licensing is already using a "plus" version.

In hindsight, it looks like a terrible decision for Pathfinder to have accepted those terms. Had I been then, I would have made an entirely new game "in the spirit" of 3.5 but starting from scratch. I guess they opted for the more appealing route of trying to more directly appeal to disgruntled fans or D&D, and now they are facing the downsides of that. It sucks, agreed.

I guess this is a lesson about the risks of trying to ride another company's success instead of making your own thing. And yes, it happens with software as well.

(I'm still not convinced this will affect companies/games using the OGL for things entirely unrelated to D&D. That'd be surreal!)
In order to earnestly evaluate the meaning of `% of capacity`, we really need the stdev of the mean.

Breaking up Standard Oil was a farce. It was not a monopoly, and none of the arguments about how monopolies allegedly abuse their market power applied.

See eg https://fee.org/articles/the-myth-that-standard-oil-was-a-pr... or https://www.econlib.org/archives/2013/01/great_moments_i_6.h... or https://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2017/Hendersonpreda...

> Furthermore, and also in contradiction to monopoly theory, Standard Oil’s share of the market had declined from close to 90 percent in the late 1800s to about 65 percent at the time of the court’s ruling. These facts, however, did not faze the judiciary. The court ruled that because Standard Oil had consolidated some 30 divisions under one single management structure it counted as a monopoly. In other words, Standard Oil did precisely the opposite of what monopoly theory maintains—it reduced rather than raised prices, it increased rather than cut production, it lost rather than “controlled” market share, and it paid its employees more rather than less than its competitors—yet the theory that Standard Oil engaged in “predatory practices” and “exploited” consumers has prevailed in our history books.
I wonder how much opinion was an important factor in societies before internet. To an extent you can go to a pub every night, full of people you disagree with yet you all live in the same area / space ..

I often feel human groups are not about high level ideas.. but emotional flow and basic needs. Most of the time we don't discuss to debate but to share feelings and share needs.
Fine, but it stands for a proxy for the money involved. Nobody is going to agree to underwrite a voyage worth the better part of a billion on an automated ship. The largest container ships cost well over $100 million.
Another way to generate potentially shorter base64 strings is to use something like Python's `struct` to store packed binary data, and then base64 encode that. Better yet, if that data payload can be generated server-side, you can also sign that data payload, which allows you to statelessly verify the data payload itself.

(cf. https://docs.python.org/3/library/struct.html)

Is there a way to view HN without blog posts? I just want the technology, not the editorials
One of the good ol’ college mistake we made during our game dev capstone was spending half of it reinventing the wheel for a tile editor.

I recently used Tiled with RpgMaker and it feels like 2d sprite / tile editors are a solved problem. I also notice how 3d game engines note that they can also support 2D games. That space seems quite saturated and investing into 2D features seems like scratching one own’s itch. It feels like there is more upside to going all in on the 3d aspect, but potentially the 2D elements are quick to implement features to add to an engine’s laundry list of features.
Unit frame / operating cost have come down a lot, not that running the hornets and scavenging for parts were cheap. At least we get the new blocks.
My UPS drivers is great. I give him a nice Christmas tip. He knows my neighbors so can have them sign for things on my behalf etc. I look forward to seeing him and his big smile.

Amazon drivers do an adequate job but often look stressed and burnt out. They never look me in the eye. I feel really bad for them.
huh, I don't think I've ever actually triggered that and I've done some marathon posting sessions where I replied within <30 seconds. Is that a per user rate limiter?
There's a chance, I guess? And that's why you have a court system to settle these questions, instead of just locking people up.

You're proving my point. You're saying that the quality controls imposed upon developers by the console manufacturers resulted in fewer, but higher quality games.

I'm saying that's a good thing.

Then you're facing a career of faking it because you didn't learn the job skills. Also looking forward to complaining a lot about job screening tests, and having your job outsourced.

Employers know about the cheaters, fakers, frauds, and charlatans. The job screening tests are an attempt to screen them out. Nobody wants to hire cheaters.

"EE/IOP, EE is for game code while IOP is used for PS2 libraries"

I would assume that IOP refers to the IO Processor chip, which is a MIPS R3000A (or an emulated one in later hardware).
The thing about nature is it is so beautiful and … suddenly powerful and overwhelming.

There’s no real good way to know if you’re prepared for falling into what is a crazy fast river or etc. It’s a pretty river one moment, and a death trap at the same time. Sometimes it’s just happenstance that you experience both.

Heat exhaustion once almost got me. It was shocking how fast your body can just turn off and you can just about feel organs just powering off and suddenly just standing up straight is like lifting the heaviest of weights.
Does anyone know of a Chinese HN equivalent? Seems like a lot of knowledge is not transmitted to the English tech community (as I've not heard of many of the things in the article).
No Place to Call Home
for me it was worse pre pandemic. UPS will randomly pick an item as requires signature becaues it was e-ordered. So I've got to go to a pickup because they missed delivery. It's a lot faster than the delivery driver being missed. Post pandemic no one seems to care and the drivers sign for everything so I've had to go to the FC less often.
My understanding is that f35s shoots down other planes perfectly well, in modern plane to plane combat. Saying it can't dog fight is a bit like saying a knife is superior to a gun because the gun didn't cut as well. Of course a gun doesn't cut well, modern fighting is about shooting not cutting. In the same way the f35 overmatches most other planes in BVR fighting but not in flying really close up and shooting the enemy with a gun.

You should also know that planes can shoot at things behind them. There's no need to point the nose of the f35 at things.

Drones are a game changer but they do not replace planes. When's the last time you saw a Bayraktar video? They were effective in the initial chaos but once a front was solidified, jamming and AA were able to stop them. They need to be able to act autonomously or they'll just be jammed.

It was a horrific mistake but its not like he went out and did it by himself. He had multiple other researchers and the government backing and implementing the plan.

There has to be room in society for people to learn and repair the damage from their mistakes.

> you can't imho compare natural grazing of bison herds in their natural habitat with a farmer subdividing his fenced plot into several sections and moving his herd from sector A to sector N in a controlled manner.

I don't think its a silver bullet to save the meat industry but I don't think the technique should be disregarded outright. For example, AFAIK California doesn't have any native ruminant species so it doesn't make sense to raise cattle here. However, in other parts of the country there is much land which historically was grazed and is now developed for other purposes. Those are precisely the places we could be producing ruminant meet ethically.
> If you want companies to produce simpler, higher-quality products, then search out and buy those products. Vote with your feet, and your wallet. Companies build what sells.

But what sells is only that which is for sale.

How do I vote with my wallet for products that companies refuse to build?

In nearly every market category, I want products which are extremely simple, easy to maintain, difficult to break (due to simplicity) and built to the highest possible standard of craftsmanship. Turns out that in nearly every market category, such products don't exist.
Oh lol - I read it as a critique of my post (which confused me) not an agreement about the parent article
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your assumption is incorrect. I possess deep expertise in a number of areas, code flows with ease. Reading code is it's own skill, too. I'm not easily intimidated by any programming language or problem. On the technical front I've done everything from development, SRE, ML/AI, founding a company, being a leader and executive at small and very large companies.. it's all fascinating in it's way. But the most fascinating things I've found in the universe are people.

When something doesn't work as expected, I dive in as deep as the rabbit hole goes to get across the line.

Curious what led you to arrive at "Aha! They must be an ops person", will you humor me with an explanation?
Yes, now I understand. Thanks for this and your other explanation.

If I were Paizo I would sever Pathfinder entirely from the OGL, especially if they rewrote their game from scratch, and ask modules writers to switch to the new licensing. But what do I know?
AI-generated content can still be traced back to its source. Even though the content may be original, AI-generated works can be identified by their algorithmic patterns, which can be used to determine the source of the work.

C# with the burst compiler in Unity is rather cool in this respect. Do normal scripting but have the option to use a restricted subset for C-like code that gets compiled or JIT’ed in performance sensitive jobs.
That "trend" isn't shipping incomplete builds, but rather that the engineering work to minimize delta update sizes simply isn't a priority for games with infrequent patches, and YouTubers can't tell the difference.
We have a 2006 Subaru Outback. I’ve rented newer cars and got late 2010s loaners a couple of times and it was quite jarring to realize that I’d actively avoid the later models due to the touchscreen UI - even if you ignore the safety issues, it was amazing how crappy the implementations were - laggy, low-precision screens; UI lag like an intercontinental Remote Desktop session; my iTunes collection broke three separate systems over USB because apparently nobody has 10k tracks; etc. It’s like being charged a couple grand for an 5 year old Android tablet which was barely mid-range when it was released.

Great! These detectors can be used to improve systems like ChatGPT to the point where the output is undetectable again.
A good example of how a well chosen title can have an effect on HN. I've never heard of "Fyrox" so "Fyrox Engine" didn't trigger my attention at all. However I'll (almost) always click on a title that has "Game Engine" in it.
Anecdotal confirmation: a friend of mine recently paid back the money she took from company's founder. He was genuinely astonishes, because she was the only one who did this out of tens similar debtors.
> Aside, if you ever feel like saying that sort of thing, take an idea, principal, or religious icon that has a deep meaning to you, or in the latter case, someone whose work you think was influential and great. Fix that image in your mind, think "serves you right, asshole", and scream the word or the name out at the top of your lungs. Then reflect on how fucking stupid that was.

Uh...

That's fucking stupid because I presumably picked an idea or person that's completely unrelated to the concept of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". Also because I'm at the top of my lungs. If I called out something like "Midgley'd!" it wouldn't share those reasons for being fucking stupid at all.

F18s are ran ragged and getting hard to acquire spare frames to buy / strip. F35 unit price + operation costs came down a lot in the last few years. RCAF overdue for new jets just for retention / attracting talent. That said, after bombardier drama, if Canada wants to contribute to NATO better off spending 14B on 1200 LAV6s because at least that will go into domestic coffers. Or spin up some domestic ordnance factory. But optics of that's going to be bad since it'll end up murdering kids in MENA.
As a generative modeling researcher, thank you for the new adversarial training methods.

In all seriousness though, this is really a cat and mouse game. Working in CV I might be biased to think that images are going to be easier to detect than text, but we are going to get better. I'm not saying we shouldn't create detectors (we should), but I think we also need to be aware that this is a cat and mouse game and we need to have true social conversations about this. Though we still fail to have these conversations when it comes to computer security so maybe we're doomed (or maybe this will be the catalyst). It's also important to note that a lot of damage can be done even with images and text that are easy to detect as fake. I've seen plenty of fake Twitter and Linkedin accounts that use StyleGAN profile pictures (with all the telltale signs).

I'm curious what kind of model you're using? How interpretable is it?
Roll out?
Deere has been fighting farmers on this for decades and I would be surprised if they gave up now. They want to avoid laws being passed that forces them into worse terms. If they make the decision themselves they can dictate the terms of the “right to repair.”

I frankly don’t trust the product of a company who has been actively trying to screw over their customers for the past 20 years.

My guess is they know that there are enough parts now that are proprietary and difficult to clone that they are going to have to go the the Deere dealer anyway. Like modern cars those things are loaded with computers and sensors. You have the right to repair it, but that doesn’t mean you have any hope to.
There's an element that all the silliness of the LAN party was technically necessary for the production, and as a grassroots thing the hardship added to the buyin and culture.
You are trying hard not to address the reasonable questions. This is not really the place to convince people of anything by says "view the system and shake the crystal ball".

I have an accountant and ask him how to do things to reduce taxes. But I'm not against paying taxes. I like to live in a safe place, with services, a city that is functional, a state that is working. I don't see it as a chump thing to pay taxes. I'm pretty fortunate as a software engineer. I feel sorry for you, with your inability to address the question and just calling people chumps and suckers for having different ideas.

Last time I've used GCP, the trial required a valid credit card that wasn't used for another trial before. They didn't take preloaded card either. So yes, this story is definitely... hard to believe.
To give my perspective, I fully agree with you and I'm not an "improv" kind of gamer. I want combat, but I also want simple rules and a fast flow to the gameplay, not tedium.

D&D is not only tedious to me, it's also a "mechanicist" (for lack of a better word) approach to fantasy. It's rules-based rather than fun-based. It doesn't tell a story, it tells how spell X interacts with weapon Y and how to read charts and stats. A fight in movies doesn't happen like that, the flow and thrill is entirely different.

I'm ok rolling dice, it's fun! But give me a result fast and make it narratively meaningful, nothing breaks immersion like arguing whether a level 35 Pastamancer can cast Fireball against a level 5 shield of enchanted wood.
I've wanted to do something like this in my condo but don't know how to find someone to do it, how did you go about that?
Not 8 hours. More like 1. Then thinking F... it, inserting a Linux floppy, and messing with the LAN from there, unfortunately not usable for gaming then :-)

However, the instantly working IP connectivity impressed the others, and reinforced my aversion for anything from Microsoft at the time. Around 1994 to 1995 btw.

Edit: Thinking further about it, this 'demo' convinced the others to set up their IP-addresses the right way in a CLASS-C /24, statically. This accelerated the NetBIOS and IPX finding each other, so we all just checked if drivers were good, patches, levels, maps & mods for games were on the same level, and could start playing without endless rebooting. Should have done DHCP, though ;->
I went to a high school when and where typing was required as a pre-requisite to programming. The only C I got in my four years of high school.

I think we make kids hate school via "sucking it up" when we really don't have to. Learning to write in the right context is much more effective than learning in the wrong context. But our educational system is so standardize that we have to fit most kids into the same interest peg.
I'm sorry what? You think it's nonsense that the lit lightbulb had more power going through it than the person touching the socket?
This seems similar to the data mesh concepts. Can you contrast what you are describing here with data mesh?
that sounds amazing. i'd pay a premium for that!
I think they have a point — the jets are expensive, Canada would be better off spending the money on pandemic preparedness. We know this because they are obviously posting from 10 years ago when the f-35 was still having development trouble. Warn them about COVID!
If you are in Canada, the government only allows 1000 IU maximum sold over the counter. :-(
One thing I remember about the amber monitors was that the persistence was longer, so they didn't flicker as much as the green ones. My first PC had a Zenith amber display for that reason.
In Emacs: M-X doctor <ret>
This is the second time where I had purchased a brand new Apple device and gotten mysterious iCloud issue which basically bricked my brand new laptop in a much similar way - wherein 24h later after establishing a new brand new iCloid upon setup- I’m signed out of everything. attempting to sign in via MacOS prompts telling me the email or password is incorrect (despite literally copy and pasting it from a file). No way in hell it’s wrong! logging in on iCloud.com web version said something different- that my email didn’t exist! Despite me seeing it logged into my macOS settings with my very own eyes, they claim it didn’t exist. Fortunately I also had my phone number as a backup, called Apple support, and told the agent about my issue. At first the support agent couldn’t find my account. I knew it did exist in some capacity because now the name was unavailable for registering anew. thankfully she did some digging was able to find it via my linked phone number. Come to find out, my account had been deleted/disabled by some other department for unknown reasons, she was baffled and never seen anything like it. said my account looked like accounts where people had requested manual deletion of their entire account(a process that normally takes like weeks...) she was baffled why this could have happened, had me on hold a while and had things escalated, Thank god she was able to get the “Marketing” department to re-instate (parts of) my account (to a partial extent such that I was able to log out of my MacBook and factory reset the thing) The next day, I tried logging into the iCloud webmail page and now it says account is disabled, (Not invalid password like it before however). Thankfully that wonderful agent could see my issue from her end and escalated the call and saved my $2000 MacBook. But still…. To think this happens… and both these mysterious iCloud sign in issues telling me my email/password is incorrect within a year of buying 2 new devices is unsettling. It could be that my choice of names could of triggered some sort of internal error or spam mechanism and was auto disabled. I tend to use names like “Anonymous Operator”, “Unknown Name”, “No Name”, as my First Last name which might have something to do with it. And use emails like unknown.account.email@icloud.com” “unknown.user.mailbox@icloud.com” and similar such things so maybe that has something to do with my problems.
>they seem to claim its largely from the ignition cycle

Not so. In the abstract, they say that over three-fourths of their 1% estimate was from when the appliance is not in use ("steady-state-off"). See Figure 5.

>the sensor... isn't actually measuring pollution if most of what its measuring is mist from the showerhead

It's possible your sensor is actually measuring particulate aerosols created when the water droplets evaporate, leaving behind tiny particles due to dissolved solids.[1] The effect is similar to the "salt spray" aerosols formed by ocean wave action.

The long residence time you report ("gradually go down for the rest of the day") makes this almost guaranteed, since tiny airborne water droplets will evaporate in under one minute at a typical indoor humidity of 50%.[2]

Hope this helps!
