I appreciate your nit, but I have one myself: Can you curse the throne itself? Afaik you can only curse items, not dungeon features, and the NethackWiki doesn't list anything about a throne having B/U/C status. I don't see any way to capture it as an item. So I don't think recursing can happen to a throne in nethack.
I understood the article :P

I'm saying the act of doing that would be (for me) boring, dull, unimaginative, lame, a bad date, Yawnfest 2023, the next stop is Snore Central where this train terminates.

As the parent of the comment I responded to says - if you and your date are willing to do this together you're already pretty compatible.

I realise the quiz questions are not to do that. I get it, promise! The reason you are on a date in the first place is to confirm compatibility, that's why I referenced and continue to reference compatibility.

On the meta it only really works to rule out incompatibility. In reality you could probably just skip the activity as soon as you both agree to do it. You'll find out the answers during the relationship, you don't need to speedrun it.

There's also an aspect of "is this real?" - if we want to just force a bond let's go to a theme park and dump adrenaline with each other for 6 hours. Way more fun.

You're assuming that factory workers are stupid and incapable of judging living conditions on their own. The fact is that millions of people voluntarily moved thousands of miles away from their families and hometowns to a country where they can't even speak the language, just so that they can work in a factory. That is not a decision that they make lightly. The fact that they had to work for long hours and shitty conditions is evidence not evidence that they made poor decisions, but that their supposedly idyllic country life was that much worse.
Eh, this is a massive false equivalence. Yeah, it'd be really preferable if Apple didn't do ads. They also are the hot dog stand of ad vendors; everyone else is way, way bigger.

The difference is so obvious: Apple Maps doesn't even associate locations or directions to your Apple ID. Google stores your location at five minute intervals. The difference in privacy attitudes is vast.
Not really. It has nothing to do with LaTeX. Most of them are italic in mathematics . For example, in Hermite's textbook (1882) (https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k97981084/f31.item.tex...), page 13, the dω is italic. In Klein's Lectures on Mathematics (1894) (https://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/ICM/Proceedings/ICM1893....) page 20, the dx is italic. In Goursat's textbook (1933) (https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k9454797/f107.item), the dx is also italic.
I rather think that the way we put all the fame and glory onto a single person/team for inventions that took generations of "standing on the shoulders of giants" , is, well tacky isn't the word. Trite, maybe?

We're reducing the incredible collective work of millions of minds to the name of a single person and claiming they did it all. That's nonsense of course and every time you read into any discovery you'll learn all the connections that led up to it. Nothing in science, maths, or technology is the work of one person. Acknowledging this doesn't belittle the incredible work that your favorite scientist or mathematician did any more than pointing out that your favorite sportsball star plays on a team, by the way. It's just a more honest reframing.

On the other hand, famous names linked to discoveries is inspiring and simple even if it's not entirely true. Maybe that's why we do it?
> s&p isn’t going up by 7% right now

It always sounds weird to me when someone uses the present continuous tense to refer to the rate of change of stock prices. Like, how are you taking the one-sided derivative of a fractal?
It’s gotta be tough though for young devs to tell the difference between old fogeys just dismissing new tech because it’s new, vs because it’s a recapitulation of an old mistake.

And the thing is that what was a bad idea in 2000 might now be an idea whose time has come, because the surrounding context has changed - be it browser technology or the size of machine memory or the capabilities of programming languages.

So, like, when I point out that kubernetes is just DCOM all over again I’m not actually dismissing kubernetes (just because we don’t use DCOM any more doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good choice then); less still suggesting that we should go back to using DCOM; I’m just saying ‘maybe there are some lessons we can learn from how people used DCOM back in the day about what cases kubernetes is suited for and what the pitfalls might be’. And, also, maybe raising the possibility that in a few years time we will look back at kubernetes as a bloated outdated approach and be glad to see the back of it - even though right now it might be a great technology to use.

But I’m not sure how a new junior dev can possibly pick up all that nuance from just listening to old farts like me talking about how this reminds us of how we used to do things back in the old days.

Again the earlier point which you did not disagree with is that it's inevitable, and so you can wait for China to do it in a less peaceful way

This is not what we are discussing and you know it. Millions of people killed in waging war and mass murder is exactly what happens eventually if you let bad guys prosper.

Sorry, positive change has to be enacted whether you like it or not, there is simply no noninvolvement in a shared world so the only alternative is a kleptodictator enacts their version of change and it will be positive to a much smaller number of people. You can choose if you want to enact positive change by way of violence or not, but calling for not enacting it is worse than calling for war, you would be leaving uncountable people and potentially your own descendants in future to suffer
An alternate interpretation might be that the laws are so strict and arcane than even Apple, who seems to be trying to do everything right, is fined.

> Yes because a DIY tool would have really taken off in the market.

*points at Linux, C, algebra, writing*

> And how would it have been better for Android not to exist?

*points at Boot2Gecko, J2ME, PalmOS*

Also, false dichotomy. Android (or something like it) may well have still existed; just, it likely wouldn't've been so dominant (and its ecosystem wouldn't've been so reliant on proprietary Google libraries, which prevent people from running Android programs on non-Google systems).

> Yes and in a “proper anti trust world” a manufacturer who at the time had 1% of the mobile operating system would have come under scrutiny because of anti trust.

… Yes. In case you're not aware, Apple already had a rather special relationship with telecoms companies at the time; something (e.g.) Handspring lacked.

The point of antitrust isn't to break up monopolies after they've already done damage to the market. It's to ensure that market dynamics continue to actually function in the real world – to ensure that the free market at least somewhat resembles a meritocracy.

> Money printers bad. Including the Federal Reserve (since its inception 109 years ago, the US Dollar has lost 96% of its value.)

You don't seem to understand how fiat money is supposed to work, and how a stable economy is supposed to function.

Deflation is bad (where the value of a dollar increases relative to the average cost of products). Your economy can enter a deflationary spiral which is super bad and disruptive.

So ideally you would have a stable value relative to products and services. But how do you deal with progress and productivity increases? A farmer 100 years ago was plowing fields with a horse, and now can handle much larger farms with a tractor. We're producing a lot more of other resources and finished goods as well, and these are purchased by a much larger population. Well, you increase the money supply to match the economic activity.

Keeping inflation to exactly 0% is very difficult, and erring on the side of inflation isn't so bad, so that's what we try to do. The point isn't to have each dollar stored in a bank to automatically (magically) increase in relative value (to products and services) without any effort. If you want more money, you need to make more money.

Mr. Gottlieb has been the editorial midwife to works by writers like Toni Morrison, Joseph Heller and Robert Caro. In his new memoir, he writes about the editing life.
My creative process as a character illustrator is different than the creative process for a watercolor painter or a graphic designer. If I forced you to answer with a yes/no, would you confidently agree that their processes are different enough to be considered "apples and oranges"? I'm not sure what such statements establish, if anything at all.

And if I told you that, as someone who has done art for decades, that the human creative process is very similar to how an AI is trained on existing images, would you believe me and move on?

Why do you believe that Tether is investing in riskier assets than treasuries and equivalents? With so much capital, and all the scrutiny they've had for many years and throughout many cycles it seems incredibly foolish to do anything else.

Tether effectively has a risk-free golden goose, it seems quite foolish to slaughter it in an attempt to gain slightly more alpha.

It’s funny, I was a graphics person hired specifically to write shaders (20 years ago, in a studio that had their own in-house engine) but didn’t end up writing any at all for games, I did almost everything but shaders. :P

There is definitely a consolidation of game engines happening in the industry. I don’t know how it’s affecting shader writing jobs, but I can imagine it’s quickly becoming less of a thing. Still, I hear a lot about people writing shaders for and doing customization on top of Unreal today.
You could probably make the same argument that the obsession with trans issues by people who have no first hand experience and are completely unaffected by them is also some form of social contagion.

Looking at your example, I'm still not seeing how this isn't just implementing ad hoc mocking for each component. The reason I'm interested is because the overall approach is very similar to what I've settled on over the years, other than the aversion to using labor-saving DI and mocking frameworks. I'm not sure why I should prefer to write more code (that needs to be tested itself) rather than relying on a well-tested and well-understood library.

Apple has started seeding its headset to a small group of third-party developers
One could argue that they are purchasing companies to incorporate them into the company's product directly rather than relying on a 3rd party vendor to supply it.

Two examples: AuthenTech and Kiva

https://www.fromscratchradio.org/show/scott-moody

https://www.fromscratchradio.org/show/mick-mountz

The argument (I believe) is for leaving those companies as stand alone and having Apple and Amazon rely upon them not going bankrupt or getting purchased by some other competitor and disrupting their own company.

You've seen that happen before - BigCo is using a 3rd party vendor, someone buys it and then turns around and starts charging BigCo lots of money.

To prevent that from happening, BigCo should have bought the company when it started using it (if possible) to prevent that disruption in its systems, products, or services.
I would guess it is the word association of "Oracle" "free" and "forever".

Pair any two of those and it strains credibility for anyone that deals with Oracle. All three?
They really haven't. They've been acquiring startups, digesting and rebranding said startups innovations with an in house version, and (arguably innovating) in finding ways to plaster a transaction layer into solved problems that previously lacked a recurring revenue compatible transaction framework.

In short, subsidizing themselves by abandoning one time purchasable software, and replacing it with either ad serving or subscription based versions.

What you are talking about is Overfitting. It only happens with images that appear way too many times in too many forms in the training set. Usually with the most iconic images of all time, such as the Mona Lisa. And, naturally, hyper-iconic images are the first thing that come to mind for humans when they test for the issue because those images are seared into our brains too.

And, much like with our brains, when it happens it doesn’t actually exactly reproduce parts of the source image. But, you have actively pay attention to notice what happened. It makes an image that is overly similar conceptually. To our brains that feels the same. So, that’s enough to convince someone at a glance that it is the same.

But, if you look at an overfit result of “The Beatles Abbey Road album cover”, you’ll see things like: Band members are crossing the road, but they are all variations of Ringo. Vehicles from that era are in the background, but they are in a different arrangement and none of them are directly from the source. The Band members are wearing suits, but they are the wrong style and color. There are the wrong number of stripes on the road. It’s not the same as a highly skilled human drawing an iconic image from memory. But, it sure is darn similar.

And, besides all that, everyone working in the tech considers the overfitting of iconic images to be a failure case that is being actively addressed. It won’t be long before it stops happening entirely.

In the meantime, I’d challenge anyone to try to make an overfit result that significantly reproduces a specific work of every promoter’s favorite, Greg Rutkowski, using Dall-e, Midjourney or the Stable Diffusion models released directly by Stability AI. Greg’s pixels aren’t in the model file to be copied. Only a conceptual impression of his style.
> I feel startups are not like they used to be.

I've had a similar epiphany over the last five years or so. Once you take money from the VCs, you are essentially just an R&D department of the VC collective with perhaps a bit more autonomy than you might have in a BigCo but you are still heavily constrained by the demands of your funders. This is nothing like the romantic two guys in a garage with a great idea taking on the world narrative that we've been fed for decades.

Foreca [0] is most similar with at-a-glance daily or hourly (with drill-down) weather calendar display.

FlowX [1] is an amazing current visualization of any of numerous weather models in great detail as well as graphs of key values, hi-low, etc.. The visualization is spectacular and just swiping advances/reverses the point in time, so you can really see the motion of the weather systems, and show any of a dozen or so parameters (everything from temp. precip rate, clouds, wind speed, humidity, gasses, etc.). It is a spectacular tour-de-force of usabele visualization of quantitative data — I can't speak highly enough about it, and on the few times I've contacted the developer I found him friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Rainy Days Radar [2] is a good visualization of current radar data. Very helpful in seeing the motion of current nearby precipitation and timing it's arrival.

All are very easy to switch to a different city/locale if you need info for somewhere else. I've got no relationship with any of these other than being a satisfied customer.

Generally, a "take-over" is a guarantee from a publisher that all ad slots appearing on a specific page will only deliver ads for a single advertisers for a limited time period, usually a day or two.

Variations on "take-over" exist where you may have a "branded slate" in which the normal framing and background of the site will also be updated to align (and sometimes synchronize) with the "take-over" ads for that day.

You have likely visited imdb.com at some point in time. With so many TV shows and movies premiering throughout the year, IMDB has a higher frequency of "take-overs" than an average site.

The "pop-ups" or interstitials did decrease due to being bad design & bad consumer experience, but have returned and are now overrun with publisher sign-in and privacy/consent interstitials.

I haven’t had any trouble with 1920x1200, but I haven’t tried to watch full-screen 1080 video or something either. Probably the most intensive thing I’ve done is watch IP camera streams on Firefox over X forwarding.

I understand that not everyone has > 50 mbps connections but I don’t think this is a contrived fringe edge case either. Meanwhile, the present alternative of “just use rdp” or “just install this package” is completely infeasible for me. And I mean, ant some point, bandwidth is a factor no matter what you do, though I agree more efficient is theoretically better. Unfortunately my job is going to get a lot harder down the road when X is retired for good.
My gf and i have been catching ourselves trying to monetize things. It helps just to point it out. Like, we do art and we don't have to make an etsy shop for any reason. When those ideas come up, we try to think about the personal experience that we value, and try to be critical of the sources of pressure to monetize hobbies.

Starting an athletic hobby as an adult has been kinda helpful, because knowing there are already thousands of child prodigies who are better than me makes me not have to worry about getting good enough to turn the hobby into a side hustle. Start something for fun that only people who started at age 4 can be professional at, and the pressure to become a professional isn't there lol
To add to this, most sports have adult recreational leagues that have multiple levels based on skill. I played in a hockey league and the lowest level had people that were just learning to skate and the highest level was people who played in college, etc.

Is it ridiculous to play a game where everyone is an absolute beginner? For sure, it’s hilarious. But everyone is on the same level and there’s a huge amount of camaraderie that develops as a result. People from all walks of life skating around and falling on their asses, makes for a great time.
