Could you provide evidence of your last statement? I haven’t seen these models produce actual copies of any art (can’t imagine that’s an option in general).

These models do not contain copies. One way to describe the data is they contain a statistical breakdown of the artwork, which is substantially different from a JPEG -> PNG conversion you mention.
Can you give some context it how it made you 10x engineer? I'd also like to be one!
They weren't "locked". You could play any game with them. They just didn't support Bluetooth at all. So you had to use them wired, or wireless over WiFi (for better latency when connecting to Stadia), but there is no standard for controllers over WiFi, so that part only worked with Stadia.

I can't blame them for not wanting to implement Bluetooth when it wasn't a requirement for Stadia. Bluetooth seems like a nightmare to support. But now they can release this as an unsupported best-effort update, and that's way easier. It probably won't work with some devices since they aren't going to test it extensively, but hey, it's free!
An entire valid critique, but would you be alarmed if your computer suddenly started making network requests when you were browsing private images in a local directory, having previously opted out of all network services/features?

At the very least, it's a bug. At worst, it's covert surveillance.
My gf has one damaged ear, so she finds it helpful for her actual hearing issue. I just find text easier to understand than speech. I've been annoying my family with subtitles for decades lol

I've also always thought people are turning the tv up way too loud, and if they can't hear good enough for tv they should just turn on subtitles instead of making the whole house loud. Idk if sound quality is actually worse now, or if people have finally learned some shame about blasting their audio at everyone around them.
Interesting comparing CMR3 to the newer Dirt Rally 2.

CMR3 roads are much much wider. I find DR2 almost too hard to keep the car from hitting the side all the time.

I wonder why that is. The narrower road seems more true to real life. But I'm not clear why CMR3 was made with the wider roads.

The major reason stadia failed was sentiment.

Why buy games full price? All my gamer friends say its crap!

Google shuts things down, why invest?

The tech was pretty good for casual gamers, it also pushed linux gaming in the AAA studios.

I think a lot of negative sentiment also came from gamers thinking that Stadia intended to replace their gaming setups.
The answer is complex, but boils down to "bad testing practices", or "measuring the wrong thing".

To maybe expand on it a bit: it's not known how the author created, configured and mounted the filesystem they were using, neither make nor version of filesystem is given. The author of the test doesn't even know that any I/O test worth its salt needs to "warm up" the system for the results to be reliable. Instead, they run the test multiple times and average them.

To give examples of things that may influence the speed of such tests:

* Is the filesystem mounted with atime option? If it is, it will generate more I/O as open() now generates writes beside reads. This is just one example of mount options affecting the test.

* How is the filesystem configured to store directory info, sometimes it's possible to embed this info in the inode, other times it's a linked-list-like structure that will potentially generate more I/O requests. This is, again, but a single example of a category of factors that have to be controlled for.

* Whether filesystem supports journaling, snapshots, deduplication, compression... whether it's parallel, how big it is / how fragmented it is... how much memory is available for caching, how is system I/O merger configured? And the list of questions not covered by the authors of the test goes on.

The explanation the authors themselves came up with for the results they see is this: the way they designed filesystem tests, they call open() and close() a lot, and they don't do that in their database tests. But, open() and close() don't have a fixed "price". Their performance will depend on many factors listed above and the options given to open().

From what I can tell, the I/O is performed in a blocking way, in a single thread, which is the worst way to perform I/O if you want good performance. So, in this test, both SQLite and filesystem suck, and, if you wanted to make them go faster, then you definitely could. Especially, you could improve the filesystem case.
This is cool! Thanks for sharing.

All the reasons you give can be circumvented by simply breaking the law. Which is exactly what Soleimani's assassination involved. It was easy to break the law to assassinate a foreign high-ranking government official (and the press barely complained!), but hard to enforce standing immigration law (yet the press howled anyway).

If you can afford to buy food, but decide to shoplift instead as a moral stance, you are hurting the poor. The stores will raise prices to cover the loss and the poor can’t gamble on a $2,000 fine.

You can argue that stores ought not raise the prices, you can argue that the law ought to not consider shoplifting a crime, but neither of those conditions are the case, so your moral stance ends up being a material cost to the very people you claim to be fighting for.
> Give the backup process write only (I.e. no delete permissions) to a GCP account.

I've looked into this before, and it is just not that easy. "Write" is delete, for most cloud storage systems, for the practical purposes of trying to keep a backup safe. (I.e., you might not be able to delete a blob in some bucket, but if you can write to it, you can just overwrite it with 0s.)

"WORM" (write-once read-many) tends to be the term to search / gets the right documentation from most providers. In GCP's case, it appears to be "set up a retention policy", and that's similar to my experience with other providers. These bring their own set of problems.

That said, encrypting ransomware isn't going to magically determine where your backups are, and for most orgs, having the backup at all (and having it tested) is the priority, not the whole WORM thing.

(Orgs, IMO, also tend to get really uppity about having "database" backups, where "database" == {MySQL, Postgres, etc.}. But then there will be an S3 bucket that also has a bunch of data in it, and that never gets backed up, and nobody even questions that. And half the time it seems impractical to back up, too, due to a mix of cost and S3's design.)

"As the story goes, Walt Disney, Google, and Amazon were founded in suburban California garages."

but sure, point stands. high technology is often a sum of the total intellectual output of a society, as opposed to just that of those who succeed at commercializing it.

That’s not the point. This was not about whether someone “loathes” their parents or not. It’s about a feeling of responsibility and financial support. GenZ is at the oldest ~26. Most of them are probably not in the position to brankroll other people and many of their parents are not helpless seniles anyway. The youngest are still fucking children. Are we seriously expecting teenagers to see themselves as responsible for their parents?

And shit if we’re making sweeping generalizations about generations based on personal anecdotes, both my GenX parents had very poor antagonistic relationships with their parents. So don’t try to pin everything on people who came after you.
I played CP2077 few days after release date, no issues with input lag. On the other hand my ISP had trouble to keep stable 40Mb/s - so in peak ours it wasn't playable at all. It was a bit surprising at first but makes sense - even a second or two buffer for other streaming services is enough to ignore variations in connection speed - but gaming has no such luxury.

They had all the incentives to make all those bad bets. And to counteract those incentives further regulations needed to be enacted.

What's good for the company in the long run is not necessarily what really happens because companies consist mostly of short sighted decision makers driven by short term incentives. They will happily collectively burn their respective markets to the ground if it brings them short term profit.

What helps large corporations to survive this is their sheer inertia. Banks are kind of special because they, despite being huge, can topple very quickly.
For what it's worth, my experience was opposite to yours.

Just FYI, if you're in the US there may be additional taxes owed. I assume that when you say you pay tax on it before sending you mean income tax, not gift tax (which goes up to 40%). IIRC (it's been a while since law school), you actually have to gross up the gift amount to pay for the taxes, which then results in more taxes and more grossing up. Gifting money and paying the gift tax alongside it is a very expensive endeavor. If you're based outside the US, rules may differ.

This is exactly how Google needed to handle this situation, and they need to be praised for it! The shutdown of Stadia was completely predictable, but I am overwhelmingly surprised at them providing refunds to users for games & hardware and going the extra mile to ensure the hardware is not immediate waste.

As the cryptkeeper over at Killed by Google, I'm very happy with the outcome for Stadia users (myself included). However, I don't think this will move the needle of Google's 'killer' reputation as much as people think given all the skepticism about how long this product would last in the first place. The "death pool," and the people who voted basically predicted the timeline within a few days[1].

Pgsql Extension of GNU Awk

Browser extensions are useful. I've made some simple ones and published a few:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/14310707/

But it's also worth considering where the browser gives priority. For example, while browser extensions can add custom keyboard shortcuts, they can't override the keybindings a website uses. Want to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-1 for a browser extension while a Google Docs page is focused? Nope, sorry, can't be done.

https://github.com/gsomoza/firefox-easy-container-shortcuts/...

It's pretty clear that while a browser extension can access browser APIs that a web app can't, the extension is still a second-class citizen in other respects.

Update: Camera setup / experience.
The cameras are quite nice, the 130 degree viewing angle makes a huge difference over the built-in iOS camera devices I had been using.

The resolution / refresh rate is nice too. The video loads up very fast, I'd say withing 5 seconds.

I wonder if I can mount one of these outside. That might be the only 'short-coming', for a security solution they need to provide an outdoor camera, or enclosure for these (presumable) indoor cameras. The cameras are new, though, so I'm sure they are eyeing Ring and are working on more products. Either way, something to keep in mind that didn't occur to me until now (no easy outdoor camera solution currently).

Also – the setup is very easy / smooth. The camera 'talks' and you have audio prompts to guide you through pairing. It's pretty slick. I'm impressed, I'll be buying a few more for my wife's retail shop.
I would like to see recommendation algorithms brought into this discussion.

On the one hand there's moderation to censor, or remove, offensive, dangerous, or disruptive content. I feel that section 230 does a fair job addressing this.

On the other hand there's recommendation engines often promoting outrageous content, putting things in front of everyone, in order to optimize for engagement and profit. Isn't this acting as a publisher, choosing what to promote, instead of showing people chronological, friend, or user selected feeds? These companies are in control over much of what is being presented to people.

There's been massacres committed in various countries because big tech companies promoted certain messages, based on their secret algorithms. I've been thinking that these algorithms promoting bad content (for profit) are a bigger deal unpromoted (obscure) bad content.
This change locks you out of the subscription content, yes.

The author went on to suggest a likely next move for amazon was to apply the same restriction for your own books, and that maybe you should create backups in that scenario. This is the section I was quoting.

If you believe the authors suggestion that amazon will take these next steps, as I do, then the suggestion to “maybe” backup your content in that scenario is flawed. Once they lock you out it’s too late — backing it up now is the correct response.

PSA: If you're making a browser extension, please support Firefox as well, not just Chrome. Firefox makes it easy since they support the `chrome` namespace for functions [0].

You can also use React/Next.js or another frontend library too if you prefer. I had created an extension a while ago out of pure HTML, CSS, and TypeScript but I found that was quite annoying to add more complex features with lots of state. I switched to Next.js and it's now on par with regular web DX [1].

I don't understand how this is possible, as a database is an abstraction on top of the filesystem. Perhaps for certain workloads, it may hit RAM more frequently than disk, making it faster. But for large binary blobs, Sqlite is way slower than the file system on Linux.

Better configuration language. For instance

(define-key evil-normal-state-map " " "@q")

vs

noremap <Space> @q

I know it's subjective and some people will say the later is better because it's shorter, but I greatly prefer the first. It's very descriptive, I can tell exactly what it does just by reading it. The vim version... "no remap"? I know it means "Normal Recursive Map", but that's not the way it reads unless you already know what it does. Vim just has a bewildering array of such things, noremap, nnoremap, vnnoremap, znormap, xnoremap, snoremap, onoremap, tnoremap... one of those is fake and you probably can't tell which.

Basically, vim has an old-school unix culture of naming things, while emacs has a lisp culture of naming things. Considering both these editors now come with powerful completion features that make it easy to type long symbol names, I think the lisp approach is the correct one.

I tried to like vimscript. Tried for nearly 15 years. When I finally took the plunge and switched to evil mode it was like a breath of fresh air, and I was left wondering why I hadn't switched years earlier.

> maybe because it's not about the 'flip', but the lack of 'smart'?

I think that also applies to parts of the world in which the ''candy bar'' form factor like the Nokia 3310 is still quite popular.

North Americans have seemed to have a need for the flip form factor for decades. In the early 1990s Nokia sold an AMPS model called the 139 into the North American market, which was just a candy bar phone fitted with a flip cover for the keypad and a genuine imitation dummy placebo extendable antenna. Focus groups told them that they needed to scratch those consumer itches. Today there is potentially a modern Nokia 139DL model that may soon fill a similar niche.
