Gods, that's an awfully written statement.

Painful.

Notably, the idea that it was just a draft is simply a lie - the OGL 1.1 was sent to content creators to sign. That's not an internal draft. It just isn't. There is no way to look at that section as anything other than a deliberate falsification on Hasbro's part.

Secondly, the notion that the main driver was to prevent hateful content is also just nonsensical. It's not like you accidentally dropped a typewriter down the stairs and it suddenly required a 30% royalty, and the notion that any business put that in and it wasn't the primary motivation is fanciful, especially when Hasbro's own financial statement explicitly says that they were expecting to drive significant additional monetisation from D&D.

If Hasbro want to start earning trust back here, not including two easily provable lies in the first, massively overdue statement would be a good start.
It's a classic story of a startup with a loyal userbase paying a reasonable fee for stagnating features for years, misjudges customer loyalty, doubles the price, then makes some PR mistakes, and comes out behind in the end.
Obligatory reference to the inverse relationship between Firefox market share and the Mozilla Foundation's chair's compensation [1].

It is sad to see Firefox become so irrelevant. As much as people blame Google for this (and it is true Google relentlessly pushed Chrome) but people forget just how innovative Chrome was and how Firefox didn't respond to these issues.

I remember when Chrome launched and it was revolutionary how it was one-process-per-tab (technically, it's site isolation not tab isolation but let's not get lost in the sauce). No longer could an errant website take down your entire browser (mostly). I kept wondering why Firefox didn't copy this. It took them years. What were they doing?

Now I appreciate Mozilla bringing Rust into existence (not without problems and early design mistakes [2]) but the initial goal seemed to be rewriting the browser in a memory-safe language and that never seem to eventuate..

There's a third option:

If the software supports getting updates, get the cracked copies to phone home and have a legal firm send them a warning they might be using hacked software.

Not in my experience. People will happily write 10 layers deep if you let them anyway. Technologies like Typescript make it easier for other people to untangle the mess.

As an example, what parameters does `manim.animation.creation.Create()` accept?

Analyst

Researcher

Artist

Analyst meaning a person who works with something like Jupyter Notebooks or VBA in Excel to do non-recurring work. Researcher meaning an academic or corporate researcher who tries experiments in code to prove our concepts. Artist meaning a person making fun things like art, cosplay, entertainment, games that can’t hurt people and don’t need high reliability.
- They have a big appetite for adding complexity to systems

Treat them as potential saboteurs. Their main job is to hinder your progress to the benefit of a competitor.
Yes, that's not lost on me, however my point might have been.

The point was, when learning this by yourself, you can really go down the wrong path with the right advice at the wrong time. This seems to hold true for the monorepo discussion as it did/does for microservices.

It's the eternal opposition between taking shortcuts and doing things the easy, cool and dangerous way vs. planning and optimizing and doing things the boring, slow and cautious way.

In the specific case of configuration files, the danger is easy to underestimate because configurations are often considered a minor, easy,low value part of an application.
Looking at the code it looks like it supports promotion, a pawn is considered on the final rank when it's entire radius is on that rank.

It’s kind of like that South Park special about the “streaming wars” and the water parks.

A swimming pool can have a certain amount of urine in it without anyone noticing, and that’s the way it’s always been. It’s not a problem as long as the amount is small and you add cleaning agents. The problem is that filling the web with content created by ChatGPT means adding more and more urine to the pool until someone notices.

It will be fine, for a long while, until it suddenly reaches a threshold where it’s noticeable, when all of the highly ranked hits you get for a question are subtly incorrect to the point that you can’t trust any of them, when more and more Wikipedia contributors are discovered to just copy-paste text from an AI, and then it’s no longer fine, but it’s too late because you’re still in the Internet swimming pool and now you’re swimming in piss.
Tesla raises and lowers prices instantly in response to the market. They're essentially doing the markup that dealers do, except they get to keep it for themselves. And they don't have competitors who can sell you a Tesla.
Maybe that market is current saturated? And they are now trying to get lower income buyers.

In most of the world (my rough guess) a Tesla costs as much or more than a house. Not an easy thing to invest in that rusts, crashes and wears out.

The GPT3 api is way cheaper than that, so I would expect the final price of chatgpt premium to be quite low.

If it was 15$ for 5000 messages would you still worry so much about wasting credit?
Or you could make a OS/DE for normal people, with an option to change audio output per program with 2 clicks, like KDE Plasma does.
He is suggesting people dismiss the terms and move to a different revenue model. I am skeptical that any of the popular Youtube channels would do this. People like that delicious revenue stream. Just a guess but the only people that might reject the terms were probably already getting burnt out and wanted an excuse to move on.

The only people I have seen make an attempt at moving on were already doing so for fear of censorship and were big enough to fund creating their own platform and even then most of those people are still in a hybrid model of Youtube in addition to their platform. I suspect this gives them some amount of leverage with the human moderators. My understanding is that really big Youtube channels are flagged to first be reviewed by a human rather than machine learning taking the first actions.

What realistic alternatives do people have that depend on the ad revenue from Youtube? By realistic I mean alternatives that would bring in a similar amount of revenue.
Looks amazing, thanks! I don't know why it doesn't have more visibility.

The article is terrible.

This is useful but note that Python uses 64-bit floats (aka "double"), so the right values are:

• "13.716" means 13.7159999999999993037 (https://float.exposed/0x402b6e978d4fdf3b)

• "4.572" means 4.57200000000000006395 (https://float.exposed/0x401249ba5e353f7d)

• "13.716 / 4.572" means the nearest representable value to 13.7159999999999993037 / 4.57200000000000006395 which (https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=13.7159999999999993037+...) is 3.0 (https://float.exposed/0x4008000000000000)

• "13.716 % 4.572" means the nearest representable value to 13.7159999999999993037 % 4.57200000000000006395 namely to 4.5719999999999991758 (https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=13.7159999999999993037+...), which is 4.57199999999999917577 (https://float.exposed/0x401249ba5e353f7c) printed as 4.571999999999999.

Edit: For a useful analogy (answering the GP), imagine you're working in decimal fixed-point arithmetic with two decimal digits (like dollars and cents), and someone asks you for 10.01/3.34 and 10.01%3.34. Well,

• 10.01 / 3.34 is well over 2.99 (it's over 2.997 in fact) so you'd be justified in answering 3.00 (the nearest representable value).

• 10.01 % 3.34 is 3.33 (which you can represent exactly), so you'd answer 3.33 to that one.

(For an even bigger difference: try 19.99 and 6.67 to get 3.00 as quotient, but 6.65 as remainder.)
Considering the cost of tubes, tires, etc these days.. So what? Maybe a runner sees it differently, but for a cyclist the value is there, and the cost is justified. I can't think about needing an inflation adjustment in salary and get mad when merchants do also.

Good on them. If people will pay it, it's the right move. Can't spend internet points anyway so hit me.
It is a fundamental opposition:

1) cooperation and altruism produces more effective companies

2) ...but machiavellianism produces more individual reward from a company

Which is why the corporate values of any McBig McOrg reflect #1 but day to day is inevitably #2 is what actually happens. Everyone is doing #2 while pretending to do #1, or couching it in terms of #1.

For techies, it is absolutely necessary for you to realize what is going on in companies, since our lot is the ones that generally want to avoid middle management machiavellianism and just concentrate on producing value.
I gotta hand it to you, how, how, could you "guess it all" out?

When I was little, I was bullied, I never fitted in. When I got to High School, I became a Chronic Liar, telling everyone how awesome my social life was and imaginary girlfriends, and other lies. I did it because it felt me feel... Accomplished without doing anything. I cut the bullshit at 18, when I went to college, but then I dropped out...

I will look into that test. And I know a lot can be accomplished in a year or 4, I just need to stop bullshitting myself and do it.
To make it more concrete: When a pawn moves more than distance 1 it could leave behind a shadow at distance 1. Capturing that shadow with a pawn captures that pawn.

The use with Livewire is part of what makes it such an awesome tool to pair with Elixir LiveView. I mainly just need enough js to do client-side things (like closing/opening menus) and it's perfect for that.
This is when programming really clicked for me: I learned that if the problem isn't well understood and solved before you sit down to write a line of code, then its not time to code yet. Model the problem space first.

And as another commenter chimed in, its true that some problems only emerge once you start writing the code. But that's alright, its part of the process. The planning isn't so much to figure out every problem ever, but to model the known problems so that programming the solutions can begin. I go back and forth between white-boarding and coding as things emerge.

I always tell myself that if I'm sitting at the keyboard and I don't know what to type, it's time to go back to the whiteboard because I'm not understanding the problem.

edit: clarity
Mozilla is hopelessly mismanaged.

The entire Android app was overhauled a while back, dropping functionally and decreasing stability, and has since been pretty much ignored even though it is still missing features and is still painfully clunky and prone to crash. The developer tools on the desktop app were ahead of Chrome but have stagnated, and they're slow to adopt new standards, but they somehow find time to add things no one asked for like Colorways and a VPN.

I want Firefox to get its traction back, but it's hard to cheer for Mozilla or blame Google when I see them twiddling their thumbs like this.

This is fascinating and in particular this article called out EBV infection and the link to anxiety. I developed a rough EBV infection in college and a few years later I developed generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. At this point they're mostly under control with lifestyle changes however that they call out this link is really enlightening. I hope that more research looks into this sort of thing and makes these connections because it seems like it could be a huge benefit to folks. It feels like a lot of the interventions with mental health tend to be a bit of a sledge hammer generalist approach so looking at the root causes of the "why" I think could power a much more holistic view of things.
It's not relevant, it's just you trying to advertise
I agree, but don't see how this reply relates to my comment.
No, they absolutely will---and already do.

The "moral" buck doesn't stop with the algorithm though. Whoever built, configured, or authorized the system is ultimately responsible. By analogy, my oven controls its heating element, but if dinner gets burnt, that's on me. That shouldn't change just because the control policy is more complicated.
Sounds like a good anonymity tool.
It might be worth removing the word "toxic"; is it not clear that "Mozilla prioritizes pushing its [...] politics over improving the browser"?

A lot of people would pay to get the history of their exchanges on a dating site. You don't realize when you close your account that you're also losing all the history of how you met - at the time it's more of a celebration of "job done" and demonstration of commitment.

I understand why it all vanishes (the privacy concerns are non-trivial, storage isn't free), but it would be worth almost any price when the 5/10/20 year anniversaries roll around.
Yeah, I was hoping the HN title would give some context on why it was being posted now (2023). My guess: "TIL about a really cool js framework which has been around for years"? Which in my opinion is totally fair, but others might disagree. :)
> It’s just that I think there is such a thing as artificial intelligence

Perhaps you are actually thinking of what is more commonly known as AGI (artificial general intelligence)? None of these machines of which we have spoken of are AGIs. That I can agree with.
An accidental discovery on my part that came from strengthening my website.

It was never about maximizing my readership, just the ones that know what they are doing.
Your example is not the same for two reasons:
1. You are assuming there always are 7 continents and each of them contains 1% of all space on the Earth's surface. I assume there are 14 continents with 2% of the Earth's surface each, which is still incorrect but it's closer to reality.
2. I'm not defining hemisphere however I want: I'm using the canonical definition of hemisphere, but choosing any hemisphere for me dice. For example, two continents that appear on numbers 1 and 48 can never be in the same hemisphere.

My question is the probability of being able to choose 11 of the 14 continents so that there exists a hemisphere that contains all of them, like the land hemisphere contains 80% of the Earth's land.

Who is running these companies. This isn't the first time a company has tried to screw over their customers. Why do they keep doing this shit when they should know what is going to happen. It must just be pure stupidity on the C level folks at these companies. Shame on them.

I agree. Though as others have said, JSX is indeed a DSL, but the type checking is unmatched. Other DSL's feel old school in comparison.

Isn’t this how Google and Facebook bans already work? Maybe not using AI, but it’s automated and there’s no accountability or appeal or due process.
I would say more tastes than lifestyles. You can use old wardrobes, drawers etc. just fine. It's just that people are used to looking at vaguely modern (often bland and disposable) stuff from the media, and at least think other people would think them weird and nonconforming for using old furniture. Even if you can get it relatively cheap, which is suggested by the "no one wants it" phrase.

I think there is an ethos of buying new and overpriced (and also buying "experiences") to show off that you have money for that and aren't some poor nerd trying to optimize their budget at the expense of consumerism. Often you don't actually have that much money for actual conspicuous consumption, so at least you're trying to imitate the Apple aesthetic. I am getting this vibe from talking to a distinct set of people of my age group, of course not all.

From what I've seen, a somewhat more ideal scenario would be a flywheel battery station on every street and a chemical battery in every home.

In that scenario, neighborhoods would take a while to fill up their capacity but once those capacities were full they could easily handle brownouts and temporary disruptions without affecting the larger grid.

Yes, some connections are there, but not enough to draw these conclusions.

There's no need for funding a new foundation (run by neophytes?). The funding system for health and infectious diseases in particular is pretty good in terms of funneling money to researchers with actual prospects of advancing what we know.

Here's the thing: once you're old, or your immune system is compromised (inactive or over-active), the bevy of mechanisms to Keep Things Going itself fails, and then it's mostly a matter of time. Because failures can happen for so many reasons and in so many ways, findings in this context will always be promising, rarely definitive, and almost never helpful.

Take EBV and MS. Epidemiologically, EBV is highly prevalent - say 95+% of adults show antibodies, and the rest are likely just not producing enough to detect. So the recent VA study had to start from a base of millions to find a few hundred case/controls and a risk factor of ~37X, with only one patient who developed MS not having demonstrated EBV antibodies. Then analytically, e.g., folks at Stanford have found an EBV antibody that also binds to a protein at the foot of the myelin. Thus, we seem to have a perfect exemplar of auto-immune molecular mimickry.

Case closed? Well, you're not going to get rid of EBV soon (a vaccine from ~2000 was abandoned, but Moderna is trialing another). Also, there are many lines of evidence that neurodegeneration starts before the myelin-attacking flares (and the myelin protein at issue is not normally exposed to antibodies). So while the auto-immunity may be excessive and amplify the problem, it's only responding to the neurodegeneration. But we already knew that because even the B-cell ablating therapies for MS only delay disability.

So while there's more science behind this discussion than the typical anti-vaxxer's, it's one of the areas that has the highest ratios of valid, narrow findings to actionable medicine: auto-immunity, gut microbiomes, neuropathic pain, etc. Whenever the problems are systemic, you get some benefit from a system reset or dampening (colon cleanses, inflammation reduction), but that's a bit like rebooting the system as a cure for the blue screen.
I agree that there are decent subscription models. Adobe, however, isn't one of them.
That's exactly right. There were good and bad things. Some method was needed, but too much method is lethal to productivity. Agile was sold as less rigid method, but for many shops it's simply too much.

You need first to make it work, later to make it perform, then to optimize it, finally to trash and replace it. Many go right away to optimize then stall.
Am I missing some nuance here? Yes the infra version is an amalgamation of the fixed versions of all the underlying services. Once the deploy goes green I know exactly what’s running down to the exact commit hashes everywhere. And during the deploy I know that depending on the service it’s either version n-1 or n.

The kinds of failures you’re describing are throw away all assumptions and assume that everything from terraform to the compiler could be broken which is too paranoid to be practically useful and actionable.

If deploy fails I assume that new state is undefined and throw it away, having never switched over to it. If deploy passes then I now have the next known good state.

Indeed! There's a nice anecdote from Paulo Coehlo (I don't like his work but w/e) where he was stuck in traffic somewhere in LATAM and a guy passed by his car selling pirated copies of his newest book. He then says this event made him feel like he had finally made it and even became a strong promoter of piracy, heh.
The Chinese Room is a fallacious bait-and-switch argument that should stop being brought up. It, along with the Russian game from the TFA, don’t actually provide any insight - all they do is have the computer program be executed by humans instead of a classical computer, and then trick you by focusing on the humans. The “understanding” isn’t in the substrate but the program itself, and it doesn’t matter if it’s executed by transistors, vacuum tubes, relays or a human in a room with infinite amounts of pencils, paper, and time.
