Facebook is implicated in facilitating genocide in multiple countries.
This is not a comprehensive answer. Please DM me if you are interested in a longer answer. But the idea was to map the video into a 2d grid(25x25). Map the 2d grid into a half dome 3d model(25x25 vertices). Then divide the flat video into textures that fit into each to the smaller rectangles/triangles on the 3d half-dome.
Once you have the 3d model, manipulate it using OpenGl or metal primitives.
The reason we liked keybase.pub is because we could just type in https://logandark.keybase.pub/passwords.kdbx to download the database to any of our devices that don't have the fully fledged virtual filesystem. I can't tell if Nextcloud offers any memorable URL like that.

> only one government can see it. They will also need a warrant for that

These are all assumptions. The former is safe. The latter, unlikely. (Particularly in the U.K.)
I disagree. I leave my home for 2-3 hours/MONTH to refill my prescriptions and run a couple errands. Been that way since March 2020 when Covid appeared and have no intention of altering my routine.
You've got it the wrong way around, no? If ads revenue takes a hit, non-ads businesses like Cloud become more important, not less.
For all the folks saying "Google is getting disrupted", I'm glad to see what's going on but I wouldn't hold my breath. Most importantly, by all accounts Google does have better (or at least as-good-as) tech internally that can match ChatGPT. They have been slow to release because of reputational risk, and having to deal with internal (and external) pressure about amplified bias.

I think the best analogy here is when Microsoft fought tooth and nail to win the original browser wars with IE, then sat on their laurels and did nothing for years, then Chrome finally came along and ate their lunch. Definitely remains to be seen whether other companies will end up eating Google's search lunch, but I do think if Google can get their shit together organizationally that they'll still be able to compete.
The list is probably too long to keep up, realistically speaking. But I think any positive change in our spending habits (e.g. cutting off China and Russia) are good

If I, perchance, encounter software I use phoning home without my explicit permission it's done on my systems. Period.
As an Apple investor, I wish that Apple would do more to make working conditions such that the retail employees would be less likely to want to join a union. A large share of the employee grievances will be things not related to pay and could be helped by having ways for the employees in the stores to communicate their needs to corporate.

>I think the theater business is dead, it will just take a long time.

I think the word you are looking for is dying. Dead vs dying is not the same thing. Dead is dead, unless it's a zombie. Dying a slow death is what you're describing, but miracles can happen that prevent the actual death.

Also, peaking doesn't mean dead. I'm just really confused by your definitions
Maybe if EU hadn't been so reluctant to let them in that would've put them on another path than the one they are going now.
The Steam Deck is an upgrade to the Steam Controller in my eyes; I own both but just never really liked using the Steam Controller the same way I do the Steam Deck for some reason. I guess the Steam Deck just feels more comfortable?
> standard US keyboard, we just press AlgGr

Standard US English keyboards don't have AltGr. But you may mean ctrl+alt on windows or the 'option' button on macs.
I've been building with Remix + Supabase with Chakra for my side projects. It feels great. I haven't open-sourced it yet, but I'd be happy to share it with you if you want to take a look.

There's no CSS. No useEffects. No BE vs FE. It's almost beautiful.
that's eactly why it needs to be in standard library- so people dont make mistakes reinventing the wheel
Sounds like you had some hardware issue.

My first steamdeck had a bad battery (it wouldn't last more than like 15 minutes, really flaky).

I spent some time troubleshooting (as per valve supports direction) and everything kind of always worked (when plugged in anyway). The buttons, going to "desktop mode", going back to the steam app. They had me install steamos again from a usb stick oddly. It didn't help.

After trying a few things they sent me a new one, and its been great. There was some wierdness in selecting the controller, but that seems to have been resolved.

It should have an hdmi port and a usbA port... instead of the solitary usb. This would have made the os reinstall so much easier.
There is no way to determine that a non-trivial neural network won't drastically diverge in output due to small changes in input (eg one pixel attacks on image classifiers). This is true for all current models I know of.

Almost all neural network implementations have continuous outputs (ie the nodes in the output layer produce a value between 0 and 1). That doesn't change the above issue at all.

This is much less of an issue with traditional methods
Some Experts Agree That Elon Has Made Twitter’s Child Sexual Abuse Problem Worse
AFAIK there hasn't really been a clear link between roundup and certain rare blood cancers. Just a correlation between them in certain geographical areas. Some studies have found the correlation and others haven't. I believe even the doctors who treat these diseases know this to be true.

Though, it would be really easy to write a book citing only the evidence in support of the link. At this point I'm not sure what to believe, but I have no need for roundup so I avoid its use.
for the price of the base model ($400), I can't imagine you'll lose too much selling it when v2 comes out (and likely fully sells out). If you have a decent stream library, it is really pretty wild how awesome it is.
That is not at all true. Banging young starlets was of Paramount importance.
"Built in Rust" carries with it a few positive connotations:

- It's fast.
- It's safe. Or more specifically, memory safe, which implies that it will be harder to compromise than similar products written in a different language.

Also, these two points are not hype.
I agree with the sentiment here, but it's worth pointing out that most AAA games now come with an incredibly invasive anti-cheat suite that violates your computer's security and thoroughly violates your privacy. That's precisely because they're allowed to by the OS

If phones were more open, we'd be free to mod our own games and back up our own save files, but we'd have to live with every random crap app we download being able to take over the whole machine permanently any time.

JSON specifies the grammar of numbers as tokens, but not the behavior of how they should be parsed. Implementors could choose to parse numbers as decimals without violating the spec.
>I imagine the biggest obstacle is that it has nothing to do with their business.

Mobile is far and away the most profitable, highest revenue segment of the gaming market by a huge margin. I can't imagine they don't want a piece of that.
Clearly, you don't understand what Keybase is if you're suggesting that GitHub or IPFS is good alternatives :)

As far as I know, there isn't anything that covers the same amount of features with the same security as Keybase, particularly the whole webring/authenticated accounts/chain that it's based on.
Specific to Narva, Wikipedia has a breakdown of its historical affiliation and invasion, which date back 1000s of years:

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Narva

Of note, “The status of Narva was resolved in a July 1917 referendum, when the district population, at that time roughly equally divided between ethnic Russians and Estonians, voted to attach itself to the newly autonomous and soon to be independent republic of Estonia.”

While individual consumers do such choices to feel better about themselves/feel like they’re doing something, big capital is pumping money nonstop to China.

It’s the same with Russia. It has been overflowed with money from EU before and during the war, and stop buying Russian goods will only affect individuals not buying it (and perhaps local sellers, too).
Yeah, it's a crude metric for sure, but we have to make sure we're making a good comparison before claiming "If there was going to be a problem, there would already have been a problem." Notably, some Googling indicates that heat pumps aren't effective below -13F which can be the high temperature in Iowa (never mind colder states) for week on end. Are heat pumps common in parts of Scandinavia that get this cold (or colder)?
Enjoying playing with this! It would be great if the generated images had their prompts embedded in the metadata..
Excerpt From Allow Me to Retort - A Black Man’s Guide to the Constitution:

“Our Constitution is not good. It is a document designed to create a society of enduring white male dominance, hastily edited in the margins to allow for what basic political rights white men could be convinced to share. The Constitution is an imperfect work that urgently and consistently needs to be modified and reimagined to make good on its unrealized promises of justice and equality for all.

And yet you rarely see liberals make the point that the Constitution is actually trash. Conservatives are out here acting like the Constitution was etched by divine flame upon stone tablets, when in reality it was scrawled out over a sweaty summer by people making deals with actual monsters who were trying to protect their rights to rape the humans they held in bondage.”

>And any future authoritarian regime will of course not play by today's rules

Or current authoritarian regimes. We have already seen protesters in Canada have their bank accounts frozen by edicts from the government without any sort of trial or legal process. Truly frightening to think what they would do in a cashless society (which is the ultimate goal of centralized digital currency) to coerce all sorts of desired "behavior".
Keybase's life cycle basically turned me completely cynical for how tech startups work. It was a really cool idea, but they had zero plans from the start for sustainability. They were clearly just shooting for an acquisition to pay off the VC and founders, leaving the tech to die in the curb. Makes me sad. I recognize it's a common pattern since forever, but this was the first one I felt personally let down by.
> telemetry is essential for a good product

Up until now, you've had to make these design decisions on your own, relying only on perplexing intangibilities like 'taste' and 'intuition'.
On a scale of 1 (Inkscape vs. Illustrator) to 10 (Blender vs. Cinema4D), where would people say Godot vs. Unity is right now?
With my colour vision deficiency the tokens on the first couple of levels practically look identical. In fact I had to guess by assuming what was harder arrangement.

Could the colours be made more accessible or perhaps some other clue added?
Because it would cannibalize their current flagship product first.
Because when you sell to a billion people it turns out that some of them need to be secured against the people using them. It only matters that this fraction is non-negligible, not some significant level to be a problem. And, you can't bless the other set with special privileges because those very pathways will be used against the set that needs protection against themselves.
Feels funny to offer a YT video in response, but I just saw this and it spoke to the topic. [1]

It's a search for stimulation, and underdeveloped skill of dealing with a lack of stimulation.

For me I've started to focus on just acting. Got the idea to do something? Try your best to do it without googling, youtubing, listening to pod casts. Just take the next action that seems like it might work, and pivot if it doesn't. It adds some adventure back into life too.

Yes, movie theater going probably will become a niche activity, but not until the current superhero spectacular trend ends. These movies are made for viewing in large auditoriums with huge screens and dozens of speakers. The gap between home entertainment systems and movie theaters continues to narrow and special effect ladened movies are the last movies that still are solidly on the movie theater side of the gap. Once that burns out, even if home entertainment systems never catch up with movie theaters, there won't be much left to keep most of the theaters in business.
"Requiring a login to change a preference rather than something that could be stored in a very simple cookie deanonymizes you,"

Of course. That's basically step 1 in every proposed plan to prevent minors from accessing porn on the internet. Step 2 is verify age and linking it to the account.
They are probably more afraid about kids leaving a mess.
I recently had to use a goto for the first time in years.

Structured programming is fine, but almost no languages except python support the while...else construct.

The semantics are to execute a loop body while the condition is true, and then to execute the else body when it isn't. But if you break out of the while loop, the else is not executed.
2022 had 2 of the top 20 biggest box-office movies of all time (Avatar 2 and Top Gun: Maverick) and the last 5 years have seen 9[1]. There are still big-budget movies being made and raking it in at the box office. I think, covid, the rise (and seeming decline) of streaming services and the tightening of belts generally are going to affect the movie business and probably it will and should change. But is it finished? Of course not.

Money in my bank account cannot have an expiry date, which is something that would be possible with this new digital currency. The bank cannot limit where I can spend it, at least not as easily.
If you're looking for the type safety afforded by swift I recommend two languages:

Elm and elm-ui for the front end. Elm is so safe that with the exception of the FFI and OOM it cannot have runtime errors.

Rust for the backend. You already know C++ so borrowing (move semantics) references and whatnot should be pretty familiar. Rust is like C++ but without all the horrible baggage and swift esque type safety.

Other people are like build stuff with this! Build stuff with that! They don't get it. I know what you're looking for: type safety in a good language without the garbage. Look into the two things above^^^^

Anyway the thing that's sort of related here is functional programming. Swift and Rust both share the same creator and the type systems from both are derived from Functional programming languages like haskell and OCaml. Elm derives its syntax from the same family, but elm is strictly functional while rust is not.
Definitely one of the greats. Among his less famous books, The Road to Wigan Pier stood out to me. Part one truly opened my eyes to what humans are capable of despite the most extreme conditions.

Around of quarter of GPT's training data was Reddit so in some sense it's already a Reddit response generating API.
Human art isn't only previous content though. It's filtered through the experiences of the artist themselves. Eric Clapton surely took inspiration from prior music, but "Tears in Heaven" is about a uniquely personal and human experience of losing a child. If a computer had written it, it wouldn't have the same artistic or emotional weight.
Does better tech matter that much if you can't execute? Microsoft has always gone with good enough instead of striving for perfection. It's taken them pretty far.
I only use it docked when I want to do some work in the desktop mode with a keyboard and mouse. I think of the dock more for using it in Desktop mode than something comparable to the Switch running connected to a TV. The one exception is Steam's game streaming functions - a docked Deck connected to a TV works great with controllers or keyboard/mouse connected streaming gameplay from your desktop in many games. Its a perfectly adequate little desktop PC in this configuration for a lot of tasks. The official dock even supports a dual monitor desktop config which is nice.

Gaming wise, the onboard GPU is pretty adequate for 720p (or the 800p of the native display), resolutions beyond this like the 1080p or greater found in most monitors are going to make a lot more games struggle.
I might argue that the issue is not "having ways for the employees in the stores to communicate their needs to corporate.". But rather having corporate act on those needs, and in the face of larger investors like Buffet and Vanguard, who would probably like more to see dividends and share price increases, unions are a good way to balance the scales a bit.
Thanks. Would I be correct in assuming that there should be less of a burden on me as an end user with Rust though as I only need to update the one binary that I installed?
Because their customers/voters want it? Me, I very much prefer censored HN to free speech 4chan. The question is, what are you doing here if you prefer 4chan where the "truth" is not censored?

It depends on the level of the failure. Some failures are minor problems that can be easily fixed with minimal impact on the business. Some failures are colossal and can drive the company out of business.

I wish the consequences for failure were uniform across various organizations. Some companies will fire you for minor infractions. Others let failures grow because they are never addressed. Government is notorious for having negative incentives (failures are often rewarded).

One of my favorite movie quotes is from Ray's character (played by Dan Aykroyd) in Ghostbusters when they were fired from the university: "Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector. They expect results."
One of the fascinating aspects that allows this to continue is that legal liability for a destructive product is essentially voided when a company is sold (look at the arguments Dow chemical made in Bhopal).

This has created a system where nations effectively allow corporate actors to transfer the harm they cause onto the government and also let's companies skimp on doing effective due diligence when seeking a merger. It's an extremely fascinating case of regulatory capture, and I hope future alien historians laugh at how wildly incompetent our governments were at dealing with corporate entities.
That's the neat part, you get the entire steam library (not all of the old things do run or run well) but as an example of a good older game, Halo is awesome and all of them are around $15 on sale (total). And the graphics are somewhat improved.
It does make me wonder how a brand new seismic zone would form though in an unexpected place like Madrid, Spain.

Google stock tumbles 8% after its Bard AI ad shows inaccurate answer
The Oscars are a marketing tool. They're great marketing, with some interesting caveats, but they're marketing. They're not even unique, to the extent they ever were, and they long since stopped trying to be "all things to all people" or "consensus" other than being a consensus of Hollywood insiders.

Ultimately, they're a sampling of Hollywood insiders' opinions of which films were the most "Oscar" of the previous year's pick of Hollywood films, publicized to promote those films, the general idea that Hollywood is still relevant in the film industry, and the even more nebulous idea that what Hollywood defines as films are relevant in our culture.

It isn't even about the "Best" in any real sense: "Best" is either subjective, in which case Hollywood's idea is as good as anyone's, or is defined through long-lasting cultural impact, in which case nobody can pick out the "Best" films of a year a few months after that year is over.

Is it even guaranteed that the year's best, longest-lasting films will even be made in the Hollywood system? Will they be the ones eligible for Oscars? Hollywood wants people to think so, which is part of what the Oscars are for, to legitimize the Hollywood process and culture, but the world is bigger than that now. We've grown up.

I tend to agree. It’s definitely a British television show, but it wipes the floor with any other political satire I’ve ever seen, British or otherwise. Of course I haven’t watched all the television shows that ever aired, so… top 5 at least.
That's not incompatible with unionisation. Union employees still have company bosses who will hopefully try to make their working environment better for them. What won't change is the employment contract, as that will be negotiated collectively, but those are typically the same for all employees anyway, at least for hourly waged jobs like this.

I don't think there's really much of a downside to unionisation here. It's not like one staff member asking to be paid more was ever going to happen being such a small cog in such a big machine.
Having exited my teen years just before the smartphones became ubiquitous in the US, I got the opportunity to watch externally how social media and other similar systems effected the day-to-day of my younger siblings through their teen years. It was not positive. Maybe someone younger can attest to my observations:

- more localized isolation as kids spent a higher % of their attention in internet communities
- less cultural cohesion due to hyper diversity in memes resulting in fewer shared experiences.
- a shift in perceived life value/success based on internet influencers and incentive to emulate their lifestyles.
- always online presence increasing the stakes making embarrassing or uncool mistakes permanent and detrimental to one's image.
