* NCSoft Q3 2022: ~440 KRW billion in mobile sales vs ~97 KRW billion in PC sales

Source: https://kr.ncsoft.com/en/ir/irArchive/earningsRelease.do

* Game-of-the-Year Elden Ring has sold 17.5 million copies by September 2022. Assuming a very generous $100 average per copy, thats $1.75 billion.

That put's it slightly below the 3rd highest revenue mobile game in 2021.

You really can not simply categorize asking people to do good work/not legalizing drug/keeping a valid border as MAGA.

"I'll take the messiness of modern Western society" until you get pushed into train tracks or become a victim of fentanyl overdose, you are actually not taking it, sitting somewhere in Colorado typing these thing is not part of the messiness.
If you don't care what exact tool in particular, https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui is the easiest to install I think and gives lots of toys to play with (txt2img, img2img, teach it your likeness, etc.)
Sundar was a robot put in place to handle the difficulties that Larry wasn't interested in dealing with: growing revenue, handling the leadership ego fights, and making vapid presentations at developer conferences. He has little or no independent thought. No leadership skills (IE, rally the troops) at all.

Ruth will replace Sundar as CEO in the coming year or so. And then Google's transition to evil will be compelte.
And electric heat and cooking. This thing lately with trying to ban gas stoves everywhere does not seem realistic. There is a reason everything wasn't done with electricity shortly after it was invented in the first place. It takes an absurd amount of capacity to duplicate the energy delivery of hydrocarbons with electricity. Does that much copper even exist?

'will be banned by 20xx' there will surely be attempts but no way it will actually work.
Exactly. I didn't add the premium because it's beside the point I was making. It actually highlights how cryptocurrencies don't compare to companies.
We may have to agree to disagree. Here is some evidence to back up my position.

> By using a simple test (currently legal standard) that if I showed you the node weights

Nope, this is strawman and continuing to demonstrate a misunderstanding of Copyright Law. There is no such legal standard, where did you get that? If the network can reproduce a work, then it does in fact contain a latent copy. Arguing that you can’t see it by inspecting node weights is straw man. You cannot argue that you’re not copying music if you use a new compression algorithm and then suggest it’s distinct and derivative because nobody can read the raw compressed data. That’s not how Copyright Law works. If you can approximately re-perform someone else’s work, you’re in violation. This is true even if you have to run a black-box program to produce the output.

> no person even trained in the art can identify it to a specific piece of work

Ironically, you’re actually admitting that even AI researchers can’t prove the network won’t reproduce someone’s work.

The rest you seem to now be looking for a snarky gotcha, which if you don’t want to have a discussion, then I’m uninterested in discussing further. I made clear above and in a sibling comment that remixes are gray area, and this question is complicated. That said, even if AI people do acquire source material legally, they are in fact copying it and distributing it, and that part alone can potentially violate US Copyright Law. This isn’t even up for debate, so I don’t know why you’re attempting to suggest otherwise. The lawsuits mentioned in the article were brought on evidence that networks violated copyrights of specific existing works, and lots of people have found specific examples of violations.
I wonder if there's a site where someone trying to work out whether to continue a business could post how much money they would accept to instead open source it, and then that amount could be crowdfunded by its users, or just people (this would be me in this case, I guess) who aren't current users but think it looks like it would be a valuable contribution to the world.
I play with this one girl who keeps on giving me a hard time for not having an AWP skin and every time she ribs me for this I explain that I don't gamble on principle
Existence was never the goal or the problem, because the world is abundant with resources, and we have been prime hunters before society and civilization.
But none of these things are what Google is accused of doing. Google is accused of recommending pro-ISIS videos to someone who ended up killing a bunch of people. Which is not really what 230 was meant to protect against.

230 is there to enable the existence of online platforms. It's not there to let Google wring every dollar out of YouTube they can, damn the societal consequences.
Not OP but I wouldn’t fight for any country. I’d fight for my family and close friends.
What Tech and Media Layoffs Say About the Economy
How would the operator of an ecommerce website have gotten their hands on these things to seed their data with them? Is this something they would've known to ask for?
Maybe on the perf rating, but on a bigger scale it could make it way more complex for analytics departments to function. Complexity adds real costs when that department exists to increase revenue and retention, and iterate quickly.

Those types of tests serve two very different purposes. UI is also unit testable.

Unit tests are more of a binary pass/fail. A-B tests are looking for cause-and-effect relationships by comparing some metric between a control group and a variant group.
With that much control over our collective mind their preference for bigger businesses and publishers will ultimately be their own unmaking. In the global village sense we wont need them to find big vendors. Google would benefit more from promoting small players for a more chaotic, more competitive landscape where advertisement is actually useful.
We need to go back to 480i to increase immersion.

Rollback net code sounds just like a modern CPU and branch prediction. So... I guess we can expect spectre/meltdown Mortal Kombat variants?
It is clearly the case that twice as many frames is an objective, quantifiable, technical improvement. That’s objective. The problem isn’t that the original poster misused objective, it is that they didn’t ask the follow up question — does that objective improvement result in a better subjective experience.
It didn't like me clicking around in the dev tools trying to figure out how it works. I can't reproduce it now, so I suppose it was a freak bug.
See, it's already over. If you have to explain that to a layperson, it's not going to get adopted. Furthermore, if people are taught to adopt this mentality, that puts them at pretty great risk for getting scammed.

Again - do whatever you want and invest wherever you please. But L2 chains are not catapulting crypto back into usability, and Lightning is living evidence that Bitcoin's bet failed. If you need auxiliary technology to transact the money you supposedly own, your protocol is broken to the core and needs replacement.
It is a language model disguised as an answer engine, not a search engine. Its design does not allow it to link back to sources.
Well, this is a very interesting theoretical breakthrough, but it remains to be seen how it benchmarks in practice. The constant and log factors might be steep for practical inputs.
Chastity != celibacy. Chastity is the broader category. Celibacy is specific.

No, I meant, almost as if HN admins took the thread off of the frontpage intentionally.
My argument is that $10B of Bitcoin isn’t worth anywhere near that.

You can’t sell it without crashing the market, and you probably can’t borrow multiple billions of cash against it either because nobody in the crypto ecosystem has that kind of liquidity anymore. I’m open to be proven wrong by evidence.
One application of negative weights in a cost graph could be energy consumption for battery electric vehicles. Downhill, regenerative breaking can result in a net increase of battery charge.
Christianity does largely embrace the previous revelations still, even if they don’t follow most of the regulations. Listen to any AM radio station preacher and you’re bound to hear about the 10 commandments, the psalms, etc. They have various degrees of reinterpretation but the original content is still widely used and promoted. In contrast Islam seems to only tangentially refer to the Tanakh or the New Testament and reading them is not encouraged AFAICT. Islam did however borrow many practices from both.

I’d argue that in some ways Rabbinical Judaism is as divergent as Christianity from ancient Judaism in many ways. There’s no following of the temple sacrifices or rites, etc, so new traditions have been added. The central role of Israel as a physical country changed for many (much early Zionism was viewed dimly by religious Jews and primarily embraced by secular Jews). The Talmud is roughly in a similar position as the New Testament, etc. I say that as an academic exercise in parallels and not to demean the differences or history. I just find the thought exercise intriguing.

Capital One can generate single/repeat use virtual cards, although it's for number-only transactions (online only?). I don't know if there's way to use them for tap/swipe transactions.
That doesn't really need the multiparty aspects of a blockchain though, you can solve that with just cryptography. (Indeed in Germany digital cashier machines etc already need to store such logs and print the transaction checksum etc on receipts - just storing that online instead of on the device is currently not common)
Your employer doesn’t care about you the same way your parents would. Good employers care about enabling you to do your job effectively and efficiently. But it’s all transactional. Doesn’t mean that you can’t find an arrangement that’s good for both you and employer. But don’t ever think it’s like a family. Saves you a lot of frustration. See it for what it is.
When GNU Octave was as young as Python? Python is two years older.
Audiophiles who prefer vinyl prefer it for the artifacts, not because it's objectively better.

However if you ask them, they will tell you that vinyl is objectively better, that faithful-up-to-the-Nyquist-limit digital reproductions sound "cold" and "mechanical", that digital doesn't have the dynamic range of analog, and that nothing can come close to capturing the sound of a live performance except an AAA recording and mastering process to vinyl disc.

It's the same with Tarantino. To him only 24fps on grainy flickery celluloid is cinema; the newer technologies are cold and lifeless and they hollow out the performances.

It's a kind of figurative "colonialism" if you think about it, and I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who talks that way (same with Latinx as someone else mentioned).

These terms get used the way "savage" might have been used a few 100 years ago by missionaries

> There have been a number of times the LDP was not in power

The LDP has been in power since 1955, except for two periods (1993-94 and 2009-12). That's roughly 61/67 years.

Not all rivers flood, but almost all have been lined with concrete.

OP's article definitely reminds me of some of Alex Kerr's writing (a good interview at https://www.kyotojournal.org/kyoto-interview/concretizing-th...). He defined some of the issues facing Japan, including the concretization of coasts and waterways.

I don’t think we should measure all of our individual environmental choices in a pure monetary cost/benefit anyway!

If you’re rich enough to afford to insulate your house and buy a heat pump you’re likely in the richest 5% of the global population and arguably have a duty to ‘green’ your life with these high-impact purchase decisions (given that the world’s poorest are already and will continue to be the most affected by climate change)
Yes... But humans generally have to explain ourselves. At the societal level, it's generally not good enough for another human to make an arbitrary decision. Rather they have to justify it with the reasoning leading to it. The better the reasoning, the more other humans believe them.

Whereas with regards to tech, society is currently at the level of "computer says foo" (so it must be true). Requiring explanatory output to justify decisions is a likely path forward for making the use of LLM's accountable. But given how little we've been able to make traditional human-guided tech companies accountable for things like sharing scoring formulas and abusing personal information, I'm not hopeful.
Ask HN: Whats the best internal tool where you work?
I’m extremely guilty of being obsessed with internal tools.

I have worked with internal dashboards written in php which could predict the expected sales of the day, admin servers that could manage jobs and deployed software fleets across all servers and chatbots that could run software maintenances end-to-end.

Some software was so good that I felt the pain of it when leaving.

Does anyone have any tools like that?

1. Is verifiable from data, but 2. Isn’t obvious. It’s also a bit of a leap to equate Japan with MAGA, or at least in totality. Stance on immigration sure, but other aspects not really. Japan isn’t trying to ban abortion, or make a push for laws based on religion for example.

Not necessarily because art does happen in eras. So maybe everyone were impressionists for a batch of years it was the de jure way to paint but in a 100 years it moved on but we still appreciate them. Sure, 48FPS may be the way of the future but that doesn't mean the flavor of 24 FPS won't be appreciated in the future.

> They are made to be addictive

That's quite off the mark. The biggest franchises are made to be addictive. But most games are made to be fun, and people tend to like fun.

That's the difference between someone enjoying Super Mario or 99% of games, and someone with 20k hours playing the same MMO even when they are quite aware they're not having fun. Shigeru Miyamoto didn't sit down with psychologists to create an addictive game, but you bet your ass Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft & co. routinely do.

When I say commentary I mean ancient commentary, or you could call it supplemental texts, ancient homilies, whatever. I mean writings closer to the actual time of Jesus. People like Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine of Hippo, Gregory Nazianzus, Basil of Caesarea, John Chrysostom, Irenaeus of Lyon, Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, even Origin or Tertullian, and so on...

Protestants basically ignore that there's a TON of writings from the early church.

Even slightly later writings like John Climacus are still much, much closer to the time of Jesus and the early church than the reformation is, nevermind modern times.
Its a lead farm the review may be real but still worthless. The named business does not exist but there is some sort of lead company that has local contracts and randomly assigns the job to some random guy that says he is HVAC cerified.

Is it Japan's duty to try and make life better for themselves first, or for you first? Can we acknowledge that it's any country's first duty to try and seek out the best possible lives for their own people first?
Another movie that does this is Tenet. There is this massive action set piece at the end, people are literally fighting for the fate of the world. Then you have people running around, shooting at nothing.

Interesting take from Mr Gorman. I wonder if he knows that when I worked at Morgan Stanley 10 years ago, I absolutely did choose to work remotely whenever I liked. My team was spread all over the world, I was in London and my boss was in New York.
