> Nintendo released SMM knowing it wouldn't be a direct threat to the Mario franchise.

Sure, that would certainly be a good pro albeit hardly the sole reason as you're making it out to be.

> They were able to guarantee this because they know a Mario game with 80 levels needs 80 things we've never seen before. SMM ships with 200 things we've definitely seen before.

That just plain does not follow. You can do millions of things with those 200 things, and combinations of those 200 things have certainly never been seen in a Mario game.

The playlist has 117 videos. This only scratches the surface of what is possible in SMM.

They are insanely challenging and certainly introduce new mechanics, which is your entire premise, that levels need gimmicks. There are levels that literally take hours due to how complex and new they are. They do things that Nintendo never intended you to do and could easily fill multiple games' worth.

Have you actually tried it out? Played some of these creative levels? Because everything you say makes me believe you have never even opened SMM let alone looked at the levels out there. There are literally tens of thousands of videos showing off thousands of new mechanics built on top of those standard widgets, in tens of thousands of hard levels. Your description of what is out there is just, plain and simple, not reality.

Just because it's not physically possible to make a commercially viable game due to the nature of the platform does not mean that there isn't enough content (and then some) out there made by a million joycons. If a person can make it, an AI can eventually figure it out.
The CCS standard didn't exist when Tesla created their own charging connector, and there were many other connectors at the time. CCS is objectively worse than Tesla's standard in both form factor and ease of use.

What the government is doing is anti-competitive, not Tesla.
> The government collects revenue and must decide on the most efficient way to spend that revenue.

That's a reasonable textbook definition. How closely one thinks this represents the reality of how government actually functions will lead to highly variable opinions about how much of the public's money the government should have access to.

> Many economists have hypothesized that giving money directly to people is better than social programs such as food stamps.

I agree, if we as a society believe that some level of social welfare is worthwhile, then giving money directly to the people who need it is better than the current strings-attached programs that tend towards locking people into the poverty cycle. But very seldom are these programs proposed as a replacement, they are usually offered as an additional program. This means, more taxes, more bureaucracy and more waste, not less.
I remember a discussion a while ago to use SQlite as a filesystem engine. I imagine that not needing a server / daemon would make it more reliable for one of the first things needed on boot.

However, I don't know what's the recommended way to handle concurrent writes with SQlite. In the end we have a single process handling all the persistence logic, which becomes essentially a server just like Postgres?
The original comment didn’t say that Apple was doing it for security, just that they were doing it so people couldn’t sideload apps easily.

I think you are both right. Apple wants to make sure all app sales happen through their App Store so they get a cut, and they are willing to make hobby apps difficult to load in order to make that happen. They don’t care about stopping hobby apps, but they care about making sure they get a cut of all sales.

I wonder, if there is no evidence of inks, dyes, etc. accompanying these marks in velum, could this have been a medium under the directly marked medium? So two "sheets" one on top of the other where this sample was on the bottom of and another that was being marked was on top and we're left with these enigmatic doodles and scratches?

Also, you could add an extra key (can be any file, so you would need passphrase+key) and keep only the key offline on each device.
The problem is the computer has changed, it’s not a computer, it’s a node in a ubiquitous global network. 2003 and 2023 are very different and we’re feeling the negative impacts of global connectivity.

Look at the trackers like AirTag. A gadget to find your keys is incredibly useful, but can also turn into a device to aid criminal activity pretty readily.
I figure that one of the things a company is paying me for is my expertise. I would be negligent in withholding that from them, so I'll always say something. Whether or not they listen isn't my problem -- I've done my duty.

>> It's like giving someone a deck of cards and telling them that these cards can only be used to play blackjack. You can't invent a card game, or change the rules, or build a house of cards, or do card magic.

Millions of people buy cards that can only be used to specifically only play, say; 'Magic: the Gathering' (MtG).

You could probably invent some sort of new game with MtG cards, or do some sort of card magic with them (no pun intended); but MtG cards are very intentionally not designed to be 'general purpose' cards or tools to design new card games with. They have a very specific audience in mind.

Magic the Gathering cards are also much more expensive than a regular deck of playing cards I can grab from my local dollar store. They have a lot less utility than said cards I can acquire for a $1.15CDN, taxes in; and they also have a bit of a stigma from people who seem to not like MtG for various reasons.

Somehow, still; it's one of the largest and most widely played card or tabletop games in the world; easily - and it's got an enthusiastic community of passionate and fascinating people.

Is Magic: the Gathering ruining card games? It is 'an offence against the entire notion of' what card games are?

Fuck no. Apple isn't some offence to the notion of computers, either.

Maybe it's not to your taste, but just because a product is designed for a specific set of purposes or utilities that don't suit your preference doesn't mean you have to jump to the dramatic conclusion that these products are 'ruining' the entire notion of what a product is. It's just a different product. Get over it, and use a different one. Take a valium and realize people like and use different things, and that's okay.

On a side note, I develop hobbyist apps for WatchOS, iOS, MacOS, the web; and SEGA Saturn, all on my Mac; and I've never had any issues actually achieving the results I wanted.
Offhand, I don't remember who's on Alphabet's board, but let's take two other leading candidates for Worst Board of All Time:

Yahoo's: had an offer from Microsoft for ~$33B in 2004 or so, declined, and later hired Marissa Mayer. Eventually sold to Verizon for ~$4B.

HP's: hired Carly Fiorina, Mark Hurd, Léo Apotheker, and then Meg Whitman

Modern boards rarely act in any sort of timely manner.
> but having more than one and leaving it empty just to raise the price of a similar unit

Is there a dearth of this happening? SF vacancy rates are roughly the same as they are across the country.

Also, from a balance sheet standpoint: if you raise the rent of a similar unit, then the rent lost on your empty unit goes up. You're actually losing more money (potential rent - rent received).
A smart woman at work once advised me to never bring a problem to the boss unless you also bring some potential solutions.

Yeah, I'm among the skeptics. I hate this new "AI" trend as much as the next guy but this sounds a little too crazy and too good. Is it reproducible? How can we test it?
That's correct. I posted a link from a product I just bought and received.
It feels so magic to live in places with extreme conditions. Lack of comforts, internet on/off and the real danger that something really important suddenly brokes, I imagine that it let you feel more alive than ever!

Don't know if it's something that's only poetic and beautiful when thinking about it or if it's the real deal, but imagining myself, after a long day with -50°C outside, to be 10k miles from everyone and everything, just with my blanket and a book or a movie that I waited 20 days to have fully downloaded.
> I think this means most people will be out of a job.

That's the goal. Post scarcity society. No one works, everything is provided to us. The path of human progress has been making everything easier. We used to barely scrape out an existence, but we have been improving technology to make surviving and enjoying life require less and less effort over time. At some point effort is going to hit approximately zero, and very few if anyone will have "jobs".

The key is the cost of AI provided "stuff" needs to go to zero. Everything we have do in the tech sector is deflating over time (especially factoring in quality improvements). Compare the costs of housing, education, healthcare (software tech resistant sectors) to consumer electronics and information services in the last 20 years. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/...

There's a difference between working on something until it's a viable and usable product vs. throwing out trash and trying to sell it as gold. It's the difference between Apple developing self driving cars in secret because they want to get it right vs. Tesla doing it with the public on public roads and killing people.

In its current state Bing ChatGPT should not be near any end users, imagine it going on an unhinged depressive rant when a kid asks where their favorite movie is playing...

Maybe one day it will be usable tech but like self driving cars I am skeptical. There are way too many people wrapped up in the hype of this tech. It feels like self driving tech circa 2016 all over again.

I certainly have heard about Linode but all historically — probably a decade since that was mentioned as something someone was switching _to_. I think Akamai is looking at the future and figuring that any substantial growth is going to come from directions where their CDN reputation carries more weight.
The room doesn't become empty by the mere act of closing one's eyes.

Closing one's eyes temporarily pauses sensory input from the room to one's brain (through the eyes). To fully pause sensory input to one's brain, one will also need to block the ears (from picking up sounds) and perhaps stand aloof from others in the room (to avoid touching any surfaces or being touched by others).

Even if it were possible to block all senses: visual (via the eyes), auditory (via the ears), olfactory (via the nose) and haptic (via the hands) input, this doesn't make the room become empty.

Put differently, reality (what is there) and our perception of reality (what we perceive) are two distinct concepts that are easy to conflate.

So, for anyone to claim they were successful at removing preconceptions or bias from a neural net, in a way that can be independently verified by others, they will first have to enumerate all forms of bias known to man, then show that all of those biases were avoided in the programming of the neural net.

At least, that's how I understand the koan.

I only use Debian (or Debian derivatives) and it ships (since at least version 10 of Debian) with a RT kernel which you can install.

It is described as: "This kernel includes the PREEMPT_RT realtime patch set."

So I take it it's still a patch not part of mainline yet?

Out of curiosity I tried it:

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/linux-image-5.10.0-20-r...

... but only to be met with NVidia drivers telling me they cannot patch real-time kernels!

Didn't look more into it: it's maybe easy to solve.
Just because you're compiling with something doesn't mean you like to comply with it... I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make. The alternative is competitors being subsidized.

I thought the consensus was that Google search was awful and rarely produced a result to the question asked. I certainly get that a lot myself when using Google search.

I have also had ChatGPT outperform Google in some aspects, and faceplant on others. Myself, I don't trust any tool to hold an answer, and feel nobody should.

To me, the strange part of the whole thing is how much we forget that we talk to confident "wrong" people every single day. People are always confidently right about things they have no clue about.
Big car manufacturers use their own modular platforms for the chassis of different vehicles, in order to optimise R&D and production costs. An upsized vehicle from the range usually uses the same basic platform with a few size adjustments here and there. "Gigacasting" would require them to create moulds for every individual part.
The Century is such a wonderfully understated car. The European equivalent would probably be something like a VW Phaeton with the W12 engine.

Actions speak louder than words.

The actions Apple has taken prohibit using self-written apps without paying Apple a relatively large yearly fee (and in many cases, also going through pointless store review).

So at best - Apple does not care about hobby apps (written by owner, for owner) because they have taken no actions to mitigate this impact if it truly is just a side effect and not intended. At worst - Apple is actively hostile to this usage and the policy is working as intended.

That distinction is mostly moot from the view of a user outside of the internal discussions at Apple regarding that policy. The impact of the policy clearly discourages hobby app usage.

Because the policy exists, a reasonable interpretation is that Apple does not want you developing hobby apps.
Bytehound author here.

Just from a cursory look at the README:

> allocscope-trace attaches to another process as a debugger. By using breakpoints on memory allocation functions such as malloc it tracks allocations made by that process.

Looks like it's using breakpoints so I'd expect it to be orders of magnitude slower. And looking at the source code it's also using `libunwind`, so even if it wasn't using breakpoints it'd still be at least another order of magnitude slower since Bytehound has a custom unwinder that's specially optimized for this purpose.

One advantage it has is that it can be attached to an already running process; Bytehound can't do that. (I have ideas how I could do that, and it should be technically doable by dynamically injecting Bytehound's .so into the target process' address space, but so far I haven't needed it so I did not implement it)

I've been wondering the same thing! Teaching an AI to fly an F-16 is like putting a motor in a horse-drawn carriage. Once you get it working, it should be clear that your vehicle's design was dictated by a number of old constraints which no longer apply, and a total redesign is in order.

Exactly. Farming on mars is not a problem worth solving.
I suspect it has to do with a decline in atmospheric pressure. The pressure is lower now, and it makes the physics of large living creatures more difficult.
Sandy Munro's teardown of one of the first Model 3s (circa 2019) and his advice to Tesla in ~200 initial manufacturing improvements was integral in shifting their manufacturing strategy (and also led to the termination of the person who designed the body). A more recent 2021 teardown has a lot of praise for the latest build quality.

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-sandy-munro-analyst-... ("Tesla and Munro have since communicated, with the auto veteran sending the electric car maker a list of over 200 pro bono suggestions that could improve the Model 3’s body, which he believed was over-engineered. Munro himself spoke with Elon Musk, who explained that the person responsible for the Model 3’s body design had been terminated. In response, Munro told the CEO that the response was “not fast enough,” since Tesla “never should have hired (the engineer)” in the first place.")

One other factor in all of this is how companies used debt to sail through the pandemic. They took out loans, and now the bills are coming due. If you can't grow revenues to match interest payments, you often have to cut OpEx, and that seems to be what some companies are doing.

Still sucks if you're on the receiving end, though.

Those aren’t exactly commissions. They’re an organizational and productivity scheme of the Legislative branches through which they subdivide work between sitting democratically elected legislators. If something makes it out of committee, it can make it to the floor, but no committee is committing legislative acts on its own.

There are Executive agencies called “commissions”, but they don’t have bonafide legislative power, so much as a scheme by which they try to reinterpret the legislation that authorized their existence and outlined their powers and jurisdiction to accumulate to themselves more authority such that a Court will occasionally step in and say “naw dawg”.
I'm not so sure. Apple's selling point is tight control over the entire stack so that the experience is consistent everywhere on all of their devices. It seems like there is a substantial market segment that wants that and doesn't care what Apple has to do to get it.

Oh, well that's exactly the same as JS. You can await it to get a value but you don't have to, you could instead fire-and-forget, batch it up over time and await them all later, or attach a function to run with the resolved value whenever it resolves while letting the current execution move along unhampered. If you don't want to `await` it, your function stays "red" or whatever.
