Anecdote: I experienced this first-hand with Facebook actually, in 2017. I tried to crop a screenshot, and then post the cropped image in a FB Messenger group chat. FB Messenger defaulted back to the full screenshot image. I decided to no longer use FB after this.

Also, all TikTok videos are restored to their original form and archived, by TikTok, both in the US and China. All those "blurry" nudes, "a day in the life at the office", and more, belong to TikTok. Along with all that metadata. TikTok you don't stop!
I noticed that even the expansion packs for Morrowind had a lot more voice acting - dialogue was still textual of course, but NPCs' "monologues" were a lot more substantial.

I know it's just nostalgia talking, but I feel like the text dialogue was one of the things that made MW as special as it was. At a certain point I think text becomes easier for a user to digest - you don't necessarily want some NPC talking at you for ages about the history of Vvardenfell. And MW was very rich in history like that.
HN title is a little editorialized, making it sound like a new browser standard. Should be edited imo

The materials themselves also drip with exaggeration and hand-waving, talking about things like "the legacy cloud VM" (emphasis mine), "unmatched security", "spinning up the entire dev environment in milliseconds"

All of this is aside from the actual technology, which could be cool, I have no idea yet. But it rubbed me the wrong way
They released different sizes from "small" to "xxl", and at least "base" should be small enough to fine-tune virtually anywhere.
Sometimes it's not even about the short game of capitalism. I've seen multiple times undesired meaningless features being highly-prioritized without rhyme or reason because of hunches from some PO, because it was politically good internally for some product manager, or because the designer decided to do some redesign, and no higher-up wanted to intervene and check how important it was. When I saw that happening and I was "the higher up", I had to burn a lot of political capital to get the message from the team across. Modern software development is highly dysfunctional but we somehow refuse to tackle it.
> If I do see you in shop, then Im collecting informations about you, yet you didnt consent to me anything.

This isn't a good analogy. By going in public I'm implicitly consenting to being seen, because it is impossible for me to go in public without being seen - being seen is a necessary condition for the action of me going out in public.

There's no such necessity when it comes to running a development tool on my own machine in my own home.
Why is that?

If it was a lab leak there will be no accountability anyway.

If it wasn’t a lab leak, GoF research remains incredibly, incredibly high risk and should be banned.

I don't think that's a fair characterization of the entire environmental movement, just a subset of it. I'd consider myself very pro-environment. I think we should be using more energy; there's lots of it out there, and using more seems to pretty strongly correlate to increased quality of life. I just think we are using the wrong energy sources.
the banana tapping its foot to the beat is a nice touch.
Off the top of my head? Maybe you want to target a small system with a native compiler, so users of those systems don't have to cross-compile, but the standard implementation is just too big to run on those systems? (e.g. tcc)

Or maybe you don't want your work to be redistributed under the original project's license, and would prefer to have a copyleft/permissive/proprietary licensed version instead, which can still call itself a "real" implementation. (e.g. mono or gcj/openjdk. Or gcc, originally.)

I was just recently reading an article about the osage orange! While its most popular use was definitely as that of a hedgerow, the wood of the osage orange tree is "unusually hard, durable, and resistant to rot." Native Americans used it to make bows because the wood was durable and flexible, allowing it "to bend and absorb shock without breaking."

Well, aren't Beam Search and other searches also used and more sophisticated than greedy selection?
C++ auto can only do forward type-inference, i.e. the RHS must have a definitive type and this type is what `it` will end up having in your example. In the Rust example from above:

let samples: Vec<_> = iterator.collect();

The RHS by itself has the type "B for any B that implements FromIterator<I> where I is the Item type of the given iterator". This cannot be assigned directly to a variable without any type hint (like with C++ auto) because it's an entire class of types and not a specific type. However, in the provided example, the Rust type checker can use the provided clue to narrow this down to an exact type, Vec<I>, without requiring an explicit statement of the type I (instead the underscore serves as a placeholder).

I agree with much of what you said except the use of the word "just".

Chaos theory just happens to be deterministic. And life is most assuredly chaotic. In fact it was equations related to populations of living things that lead to the discovery of chaos theory. (equations wrt the weather also helped) [1]

So I'd make your statement:

Our thoughts, ideas, words, and actions are really really irreducibly new. They are (deterministic-)chaotic transformations based on our genetics and sensory input.

How many wireless networks was System 7 trying to connect to?

I mean, we all know the answer was 0. Hell, the systems you're talking about were likely not networked at all. I have a feeling that if we took all the 'slow' software we're talking about and cut out all the pieces reaching for the network in one place or another that we'd gain about an order of magnitude of speed back. Of course we'd lose about that much in functionality.

Well but for the first 10 years it was not really a real company, more a hobby project.

Then it got bigger and bigger, but only in the mid 2010s did the company seriously start to grow.

He was dropping 1 billion per year towards the end of 2010s but the company has been ramping up even more over the last 3-5 years.

By now the HR cost alone are probably going towards 2 billion $ a year, they are not so much smaller then SpaceX with no revenue.
My prediction that they'd offer on-prem hosting of the models (for businesses with IP / secrecy concerns) turns out to be wrong! Seems like a weird choice, but maybe their hands are tied by OpenAI not wanting to lose control over the models?

> My brain knows where it's going to go by the end of the sentence as well

How would you know that?

Sincere question, because to me it feels like my brain is improvising word by word when typing out this sentence. I often delete and retype it until it feels right, but in the process of typing a single sentence, I'm just chaining words one after another the way they feel right.

In other words, my brain doesn't exactly know the sentence beforehand - it improvises by chaining the words, while applying a fitness function F(sentence) -> feeling that tells it whether it corresponds to what I wanted to say or not.
The answer to this is: "we don't really know as its a very complex function automatically discovered by means of slow gradient descent, and we're still finding out"

I asked Bing Chat the same question and the response was much better:

> As of today, the human population of Mars stands at zero. There are no humans living on the surface of Mars, only rovers and landers. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System. It has a very thin atmosphere and a cold and dry climate. Mars is governed by the Martian Congressional Republic in the fictional universe of The Expanse, but not in reality. Some websites may give false or misleading information about the population of Mars, such as 4.8 billion or 2.5 billion people, but these are not based on any scientific evidence or credible sources.

I was just trying to do some metacognition and observe how I write, but apparently it's really just word by word. I neither form full sentences, nor full words or even just abstract imagination in my head. The words just appear from the "darkness", with some kind of sophistication postprocessor that tries to make some output more verbose or use more appropriate adjectives. Is this how people with aphantasia live? I don't like it. I expected something more sophisticated. Maybe that's why my writing often appears like a barely connected verbal diarrhoea that looks like an "inner monologue" writing task back in school.

How do you experience it?
Sadly, "simple license management" here just refers to "who in your organization has a license to use this tool", rather than "where did this code come from and what license is it under".

This tool remains the equivalent of money laundering for violation of Open Source licenses (or software licenses in general).
> Germany in the 1800s did not have copyright protection, and it was boom time for them

Because England's book publishers had a cartel. Eckhard Höffner's argument is absurd on the face of it (he basically says: England had copyright, Germany did not, Germany published more books, therefore not having a copyright causes you to publish more books). He also didn't bother to look to other places, like the US.

> Musicians make tons of money from live performances

A vanishingly small number of musicians make tons of money from live performances. Music is probably the defining example of the need for copyright.

> Patronage is not a bad system. I don't know why you think it is. Just look at all the incredible medieval art resulting from it.

Yes, check out all that medieval art of things unintersting to wealthy people and the Church. Patronage was, and is, a horrible system. It is art feudalism and serfdom. You're basically arguing that Elon Musk gets to determine what art is made.

> The free software industry is thriving.

I'm sure Canonical is raking in the money compared to Microsoft.

But let's get back to the item you ignored: by eliminating copyright, you are effectively destroying viral licenses and the free software movement that goes with them.
Its literally IntelliJ for c# lol. Same base system just tied into the Roslyn compiler chain and using their proprietary .NET debugging system instead of whatever they use for the JVM. And while I still use VS at work on personal projects (in both c# and f#) I've switched fully over to Rider and enjoying the experience a great deal, so anyone used to IntelliJ can get a pretty comparable experience from their IDE right out.

> There are IRCv3 specifications that allow this richer experience, and they are at least as standard as Matrix.

"At least as standard" how? A substantial portion of the IRC comunity is actively hostile to the IRCv3 extensions, and in some cases prefer incompatible implementations of the same functionality; Matrix has nothing like that going on. And there seem to be more visibly independent implementations of Matrix than IRCv3.

> IRCv3 normally makes sure new specs don't make it worse for older clients. Could you give me some examples to see if we can fix that?

Speaking generically rather than IRCv3-specific, things like: server-side history extensions tended to mess up my client's history implementation (I'd end up with multiple copies of the same messages in my local logs, often with the wrong timestamps). And if you're in a conversation where people are using embedded gifs, then fundamentally you'll always be a second-class citizen if you're trying to participate in that with a client that can't display embedded gifs. (Or for a more serious example, SSO access control; you just can't do that in a nice way if the client doesn't support it). This kind of thing is what killed the Slack IRC gateway, and it comes back to the first point, because it's ultimately more of a social issue than a technical one: a substantial portion of the IRC community uses clients that don't support these things not because they can't but because they're hostile to the very idea of having embedded gifs or SSO in IRC.

“Google is the slowest moving and most dysfunctional company in tech.”

That’s a little harsh. Google makes great products like the Google cloud and Gmail. To say they are the most dysfunctional and slow moving company in tech is outlandish.
Yeah, based on my understanding, I think I agree with you across the board.

Saying "this building already exists, so we'll let it slide" and doing retrofits as able seems like a reasonable compromise.

If you allow new construction to bypass safety regulations though, it's unreasonable to then punish contractors for bypassing safety regulations. Regulators should never have granted exemptions for such projects, and it should be their feet to the fire on this one.
I don't think it's controversial. Or bitter.

Maybe I disagree about the part about "only when you get fired". To me it was enough seeing people getting fired, or having promotions postponed multiple times for no reason, or seeing a co-worker getting a verbal offers of a raise getting rescinded after they denied a job offer from another company, or having a C-level give me silent treatment when I disagreed with stupid release deadlines.

I've tunneled VXLAN over Wireguard on Linux. In my setup, my WAN's MTU was 1500 bytes, and my Wireguard tunnel's MTU was 1550, with the VXLAN's MTU being 1500. Surprisingly, traffic and iperf3 tests going over the VXLAN had much better throughput than traffic going directly over the Wireguard connection. IIRC, over the VXLAN, I was pulling ~800Mbps over the VXLAN/WG setup with iperf3.

Where this would fall apart is if there are firewalls in between that silently drop UDP fragments. In a case like that, it may be necessary to do VXLAN/Wireguard/Wireguard to conceal the fragmented packets with MTUs of 1500/1550/1440 respectively, assuming IPv4 and WAN MTU of 1500. I bet this would come with a significant performance hit though.

>I never visited China & the manufacturing went perfect.

it's about the type of manufacturing that these groups are used for.

My father took his bicycle part manufacturing to China in the early 90s and had his IP and design-work ripped off and duplicated to the point of making his formerly successful business largely insolvent -- this taught him the value of keeping the assembly and finishing work in-house, but unfortunately that lesson came too late for his ventures.

Same story with an exercise equipment MFG that I did design work for more recently. The joke at the table was "OK, we can get the bulk manufactured for X in (Chinese province)... but how long until we see these for sale on Taobao?"
This wonton disregard for the rules in India comes up every so often, it gets plenty of airtime on the 24 hours news channels when an avoidable tragedy occurs, and nothing changes. For example, a few years ago there was a fire in a makeshift factory in Delhi, operating illegally inside a tenement building. The surrounding buildings had built unauthorized wings, blocking access for fire trucks & dozens of people died. Nothing changed.
They barely use beam search. It requires running multiple parts of the generation, and so is expensive.
