Perhaps AccessiBe is different?

Quantum Quartets will break your mind (in a good way)
Thanks for reading, I hope you found this mind game interesting! I'm posting this to HN especially since I am interested in a discussion about game theory and potential strategies for Quantum Quartets. While I have gone down all paths available to me to find the original inventor of this game, I was unable, so if you have any leads I'm also happy to learn more about its origins.
The Netherlands is plane, dense, safe, and small. Not sure if it will work in my 3rd world country.

Besides, you'll be cooked under 30C (86F) to 40C(104F) degrees.

> b) Training datasets can only be made by humans.

AI can make training datasets too.

For example to replace the human generated stuff from stable diffusion you could have some random-ish image generator coupled with some sort of image classification AI. As long as you have a good enough classification AI (or even more than one) that tells you what images are, you can focus on random-ish image generator algorithms to generate training data for another AI to generate images from descriptions.

(this is obviously with lots of handwaving and there will be problems that need to be solved - e.g. to avoid 99% of the generated training data be stuff like "noise on noise" but have some form of variety :-P), but the point is AIs generating data for other AIs is something that isn't far fetched and you don't need to think in terms of a single AI either)
It should be noted that TeX wa s of course designed to actually be interactive and stop letting you fix errors.

I went through the texbook by Knuth last year and my eyes were opened (also note that I am an incurable (La)TeX fan so my opinion is biased)
The Federal Reserve has done a pretty good job on inflation in recent decades: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/infl...

The 1970s were bad, but we had a 40-year period of low, stable inflation, which is the goal. Now's not great, but it's not the Federal Reserve's fault; between a global plague, supply chain disruption, and a land war in Europe, inflation is up across the globe: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate

Compare that to the economic chaos that was much more common before the rise of strong central banks and I'd say "Federal Reserve baaaaad" is somewhat lacking in nuance.
> 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)

Sure enough we do not need law about this. But should we actively offending others because we do not agree to them when we can go by beeing nice each other. Even if we do not share what is critism what is insult, I apologize if you feel offended.

> 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

Even if there is no violence, anyone should not insult others. And anyone who do violence or murder should be punished by law.

≥ You think there's some conceivable situation where it's justified to react to "being insulted" with a beheading?

No, I think there's no 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.

When I ask anyone to be nice to each other is extremist, well sorry.

Of course violence and terrorist is not right regardless of any reason.
Artist Banned from R/Art Because Mods Thought They Used AI
It was typical Apple arrogance but the actual issue is not nefarious, aging batteries deliver less and less current and eventually it makes devices crash or power off unexpectedly. Always been that way. They just figured out you could improve stability by throttling the CPU to reduce current draw and didn't bother to tell customers.

In reality we should think of most modern devices as wearing out over time. Batteries age, flash cells go bad, LEDs dim, OLEDs burn in... Most everything gets slower / worse with use and it would be better if device manufacturers disclosed that clearly.
As a non-artist, I'm hesitant to say what's real artistry and what's not, but I definitely agree that there's a more creative component to work of a creative director defining the art style vs. an entry-level artist building assets in that style.

Still, I think one of the things that will be lost is the ability of those entry-level artists to learn and develop so they can get to the point of being qualified for the really creative art jobs. My feeling is that these AI tools will really entrench the existing art-director-level folks in AAA gaming in their roles, and the only path to break into this kind of game art design will be by creating your own games entirely.

As for the sweatshop conditions, I totally agree - the gaming industry is notorious for being awful to its employees, and it's good that that will likely end. On the other hand, is it a plus to end that by just eliminating the jobs entirely? I dunno.
Yeah, Adderall is "Mixed-isomer amphetamine salt", it's a "proprietary" blend of 80/20 dextro/levo.

How many of those rely on LaTeX syntax extensions to render equations?
I once met an angry drunk Czech who went on - at great length - about how their government is absolutely paralyzed because most positions are "management". Apparently, the communists wanted to employ everyone, so they set up thousands and thousands of pointless governmental middle-management jobs that never did anything.

I wonder how he's doing? I bet he's on a corner somewhere, screaming about Russia.
Until regulators approve such things they won’t be offered legitimately after all the saber rattling from the sec.

With smaller indie games you can spend your time doing everything, which might be safest to do on the side at first. In AAA you’ll need to specialize due to the large teams. AI, gameplay, physics, audio, graphics, engine, network, backend, can all be different code teams. The type of work can be very different and I’m willing to bet you might like one but not the other.

Like others have mentioned, just get started on the side and you’ll likely gravitate towards what you enjoy. Try something like Tom Looman’s course[0] that basically teaches you everything you need to build a game in Unreal. You’ll also pick up C++ and Unreal Engine, which will help if you want to find a full time gig in the industry.

It's just dumping to me, like heavily subsidized US corn exports into Mexico after NAFTA.
I’m only barely up to speed on the tech so I don’t know if this is feasible or not, but I wonder if it would be possible to combine something like ChatGPT with something like Google. Then maybe suggest hints to the model in real time during inference, based on facts found in another dataset.

It seems like if it were trying to complete info about John Prescott (as in the article) that it could do better if it had some separate context about John Prescott to tap into, scraped from Wikipedia or something.
No, it is not. If a reader has a gamedev position outside these predatory markets, hit me up.
Just don't use figure when you don't want them to float, but just use \includegraphics or whatever environment you're using? Floating figures are a pain in the ass in any system, as their positioning relies on the rest of the text already being formatted but simultaneously mess with that same formatting.
As I said, the analogy works.

But the house bedroom bathroom kitchen bit is more important than the (((()))).

Maybe I'm thinking about this too much (read, I am thinking about this too much) but maybe the data / use is more important than the structure
Landing a man on the moon is not a problem that increases in complexity with population size, taxation is. "Things like this" are exactly where "but they're small" is a perfectly legitimate response. To say "oh just scale the operation" ignores the fact that scaling is just about one of the hardest problems we face in human organisations.
Taxation is built right into the Constitution. Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution (the "Taxing and Spending Clause"), specifies Congress's power to impose "Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises".

No one ever called this a War on Income. My point is to the OP that claims the War on Drugs has been going on for a hundred years by pointing to any regulation of drugs. Lots of things are regulated and we do not generally call regulation a 'War on' something. It is okay to tone down the hyperbole.
It's probably more efficient to centralize storing weeks worth of energy.

Sure, you need to invest into it but those are things you can reuse for every app and feature you build.

And those are not the reason why those systems are so complex, those are just ways to keep complex systems running and manageable. In most they also do not stand in the way of making system better but help in it.

They need to exist because the architecture of system grew organically from smaller system over and over again and big restructurization was deemed not worth it. It's "just have a bunch more hardware and engineers" vs "we're not delivering features and we might not get rewrite right".

And every time you throw money at the problem the problem becomes a bigger problem and potential benefits from "getting it right" are also getting bigger. But nobody wants to be herald that tells management "we
're going to spend 6-12 months" for somethinkg that have few years of pay-off
Engineering is an iterative process, that doesn't mean that almost engineering something contributed to the eventual design.

Getting credit for something you didn't invent rather than the word you did is just tacky.
An abstract data type (ADT) is a structured type for which a client cannot access the data components for variables of this type. The client understands the type in terms of its operations, provided by a set of functions which operates on variables of this type. The set of functions is called the interface of the ADT. Note that this definition requires information hiding but not inheritance or polymorphism.
More like "Shorting Tether for Fun and Slow Bleeding"... 8 years of FUD and still here, it doesn't take 8 years to do a safe 2x in crypto, not even in trad-fi.
How about PoS then?

* Lock up, say, $5, in anonymous cryptocurrency like Monero

* When visiting example.org, sign a message "example.org <current timestamp>" with your private key, and include the signed message in a request header

* example.org can verify the signature (and the fact it's backed by $5)

* example.org can also forward the signed messages to the advertiser as a proof of legitimate pageviews

* if a bot farmer wants fake pageviews, they need to lock up separate $5 per bot (and if we're counting unique pageviews, then per pageview)

edit: one gothca here is that sites could collect the signed messages to track users across sites. Perhaps there's a way to sign messages so that you prove you have $5, but not which $5 – I don't know.
This book is a really fun read. You’ll learn a lot and get some interesting ideas.

> but finding someone who can do 1M+ DAU game backend that's reliable and cost-efficient isn't something you just hire off the street.

So, how do you get that particular skill? I've done backend development, but nothing with that kind of scale.
“wonder why the economy goes through such cycles”

Ray Dalio has written some very easy to digest books on the debt cycle. That’s not the full picture but a good start. There’s an entire field of study around all this stuff and economists never agree completely —if they did they would have no job- but as I understand it sentiment is a predictor of recession but it tends to lag other things like interest rates and gas prices.
With the exception of double precision performance, TPUv4 is in every way a supercomputer in terms of networking.
IBKR has futures trading for bitcoin. You can go both directions with futures.
This is what I was thinking even though I’m totally outside the gaming industry. It seems like the appetite for good quality artwork in video games is absolutely insatiable.

If you can hack out unique stuff in hours, not days, suddenly every building in every city of GTA can have bespoke furniture and stuff that’s absolutely unimaginable to us right now as assigning a dev to spend three days modeling a couch used in one place is absurd.

This is how we get one step closer to actual realistic or extremely detailed environments.

I was playing God of War and the attention to detail in a room filled with treasure, how it reacts when you hit it with your weapon and coins fly everywhere, it was amazing.

Imagine what these same devs could do where their workflow takes 1/10th or 1/100th the time.
I learned Brainfuck in ChatGPT. I asked it to write some code in Brainfuck and it explained the code to me. Whatever code ChatGPT gives me, it needs to be able to explain it before I take it seriously.
Spent almost a decade working on fusion. While I think that fusion has great long-term potential, I don't currently see any quick wins that I personally can contribute towards. But I do believe that energy issues are among the most important problems in the world. So now I'm working on an evaporation engine which runs on the same process that powers hurricanes. It is indirect solar power, which can run at night. It's basically an engine that literally runs on global warming.

I should probably be running turbine tests instead of posting on HN, but it's a Sunday morning and I'm feeling lazy. Maybe posting this will help motivate me.

My understanding re: copyright was that the raw output of the AI cannot be copyrighted. But his rigging and mesh maps and otherwise creatively-directed work to take that raw material and make it look good? Surely he has copyright on those?

It's just that in theory, anybody else can take the raw output of the AI and do all that extra work on it themselves with no copyright violation.
great landing page! going to try out Abstra cloud right now. I love to see, in one glance, what it does, a gif of it doing it, and the code sample.
Well, it is the law. And it's hard to do your "pursuit of happiness" when you can't actually use the internet. In a fair and just society (where equality and the individual are high priorities), it hardly seems like too much to ask.

Finally, the number of people using AT is significant. Imagine saying, "We want to serve everyone, except those with red hair." How would that go over? Red heads might actually be an even smaller subset.
Well then I don't get it. Putting up depictions of Mohammad can easily be viewed as inflammatory discrimination against Muslims, but that's ok?

Again, I don't think this teacher should have been fired. But the arguments against it in these comments seem hypocritical when support is given to other types of censorship only because they happen to disagree with what was being suppressed.
I had this idea a few years back just when ML was heating up. A service which would crawl all of your documentation/data to which you can then ask questions and get answers back. A domain specific search engine/Knowledge Base.

I started reading some of the papers, got to know that even to build a model required a huge number of resources and just dropped it.
I can't speak for most of them because I haven't used them, but I know that TexMacs doesn't use LaTeX under the hood.
Almost all indie devs these days use Unity or Unreal. You'll get more output out of these quicker, and that will encourage you to continue developing.

Don't be put off from writing your own engine, but it is quite a daunting task, expecially for 3D.

Besides rendering, these off the shelf engines provide tooling that make game development easier on you. Map editing, animation editing, sound editing etc all built in.
As an ancestor comment by Vinnl points out, "The study authors recognise that not everyone lives in a cycle-friendly place - but call for an “urgent” expansion of cycling infrastructure worldwide."

If you are a plumber making home visits in suburbs best accessed through a high speed highway, and need to have supplies and tools with you, then of course a vehicle is better.

If you are a wind surfer, and need something to carry your gear with you back and forth to the beach, then of course a vehicle is better.

There are many people in exactly the situation you are, and for good reasons need a vehicle.

But those needs don't represent everyone.

And with the right infrastructure, some things which require a car now, disappear. If the kids can (e)bike to/from after-school events, then there's much less need for one of the parents to be a dedicated chauffeur.

With frequent bus service, it's easier to take the bus into town, so perhaps a family doesn't need one car per adult.

When those who decide to go car-free still need to be able to move more people and property, they use a taxi, rent a car, or join a car share club, depending on their needs.

But it's not easy! 50 years ago Amsterdam was car-centered, like US cities. It took decades to get where they are now. The point is to learn from that experience, not reject the possibility outright.
Which parts of the posts are misinformation?
Most of this is good advice, but I don't see the \mathbbm vs. \mathbb distinction as anything other than subjective taste.

Also, I use things like

\newcommand{\abs}[1]{\left| #1 \right|}

in the preamble. This way, I can use \abs{...} without any asterisks, and it automatically adjusts its size. In the 1% situations where I don't want it to adjust the size, I write the delimiters manually.

Making maths look good in LaTeX is pretty well-understood these days; authors who don't are usually just being lazy. The big undocumented mess with LaTeX is making bibliographies work correctly. The "standard" bibtex workflow is broken in many ways, and I have never seen a tutorial on how to fix it. With bibliographies being such a minuscule part of a mathematical paper, I'm not surprised that no one cares, but the result is lots of references that are imprecise, missing important info or plain wrong.
This is just content marketing that doesn't answer the question and really doesn't contribute anything of value, existing only to present the product with an affiliate link.
About twenty-five years ago I product tested a hangover prevention pill that appears to have been little more than capsules of activated charcoal. IIRC, we were instructed to take one pill before drinking and then one after every other drink. If it wasn't the drunkest I've ever been, it was close. The next day I was low on energy but was otherwise unaffected by the previous night's drinking. As one of my fellow product testers put it "I feel unreasonably ok". I suspect that the product didn't take off because activated charcoal can interfere with absorption of things you want absorbed, like prescription drugs and also because it turned your poop absolute jet black.
your expectations should be tempered by the fact that this is an article for a company named Vice
If you were alive in the 1990s, you'd recall the great religion of the free market.

That language has disappeared from the political discourse, because almost all markets are at best cartels, at worst outright monopoly.

Antitrust died with the Microsoft trial, an open and shit case with blatant public statement and evidence galore, and the court system failed us, likely by design.

Best you can hope for now is denial of merger.
Why reduce a country to a snack? And if you will, why not those tasty Belgian frites?!
every time a commodity multicore machine gets better, the supercomputer folks just switch to a larger problem that wouldn't fit on a single machine. Their goal is to engineer a system/build a code that reaches peak performance limited primarily by the physical constraints of the biggest systems.
> Some of the excess managers used the situation to do very little. They'd join a couple meetings, maybe respond to a couple e-mails, then basically disappear.

I'm currently at a huge company and this rings true for me. I work with a team of maybe 6-7 ICs during a quarter, but when we compile a slide deck and present the work to higherups I find that the middle-managers (who have never joined a single meeting on this project) have added their names to the slide deck too. I have no idea what they do or how they're involved in the work at all; none of the ICs even mention them during the quarter.

Nobody wants to say anything about it, probably because those managers hold power in their position.
If I can't tell with some degree of assurance whether you have 1K viewers per month or 1M viewers per month (never mind uniques), I'm probably not going to pay for ad on your site.
On a small scale it makes sense, if you don’t have enough work to fill one employee worth of time it makes sense to distribute that work to everyone and loose efficiency. If the company is bigger than a certain size there is enough work and a specialist would do it faster and cheaper but internal accounting loves to appear more productive by cutting headcount and hiding costs through distribution.
You could do it the old fashioned way. You find somebody who thinks the value of their crypto will go up. You pay them to borrow their crypto for, say, a year. You then sell the crypto for dollars and in a year you hope you can buy it back for less than you made.

The legal way to do it would be with an old-fashioned paper contract between two known parties. But as web3isgoinggreat.com has made clear to me, the more effective way to do it is to use some crypto site for the deal. If you're lucky, the tools/sites/curriencies you've used will just have gone out of business. And even if not, apparently you can just say, "Oops, I used the money to do other things so I'm not giving anything back to you."
