There was plenty of room for individual experimentation---it was the players who weren't flexible enough. Before role queue, any particular player could, at the drop of a hat, mid-match, mid-life, switch to another of 21 very different heroes. Hard for a game to get more flexible than that!

But in the end, it seems the players didn't want that, and instead wanted less flexibility for their teammates and the enemy team.
> I'd prefer to see more easily-communicated DE standards and published levels of adherence, rather than moving to the uni-desktop.

What's the difference? If everything works perfectly with everything else, and the standards adherence is so high that you can't tell the difference which apps are from which organization, then how is that not a "unified DE"?

I think part of the issue is what level of explanation is satisfactory. We can explain how every linear transformation computes its output, but the sum of it is in many ways more than its parts.

Then there are efforts that look like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34821414
They go probing for specific capabilities of Transformers to figure out which cell fires under some specific stimulus. But think a little bit more about what people might want from explainability and you quickly find that something like this is insufficient.

There may be a tradeoff we're looking at where explainability (for some definition of it) will have to be exchanged for performance (under some set of tasks). You can build more interpretable models these days, but you usually pay for it in terms of how well you do on benchmarks.

The system package manager is useful for updating the underlying system, not necessarily the user's environment. Think of it as a in the classic root/user divide. The system package manager is there for updating the core system and things like flatpaks/toolboxes are there for the users. They don't follow the same updating patterns so it makes sense to keep them separate.

Ubuntu packages get updated on a much faster cadence then Debian in my experience.
Flatpak is actually made by the same groups of people who make these open source DEs, as well as the various open source stacks we use on the desktop, it’s had the advantage that it’s integration into the desktop is decent and quite cool (hello pipewire).

Regardless of your opinions of GNOME and KDE, it’s hard to argue Flatpak has anything but good intentions, it’s made by people who want the Linux desktop to be better
Sure, a reasonable risk is tolerable. But, for instance, car-centric infrastructure has *intensely* exacerbated those risks: space is completely surrendered to cars, sidewalks are non-existent, crosswalks go across 8 lanes of 60+mph traffic. All of this, plus terrible public transport, makes it impossible to travel anyway except by car. This leads to lack of independence for children, and sedentarism.
15 years ago in Tibia there was concept of let's call it - changing network payloads.

I know it only from stories, so forgive me mistakes.

So basically

action X at patch Y sends instruction Q1

and then

action X at patch Y+1 sends instruction Q2

but cheating/botting software when ran straight after the update still sends old instruction Q1,

which is now impossible to be generated by legit player and this way you can instantly mark player as botter.

but I think it cannot be it since modern cheaters wouldnt be this stupid, right?
This is an underrated idea. Putting a very smart and motivated person on the other side of the proble is better than any static set of incentives that can be gamed.

Not that I agree with the practice, but many retail employees (at least in the USA) are required to stand while working, even if the job can easily be done while seated, as is the case for receptionists, fast food and grocery cashiers, and so on. It's definitely within the company's purview, even if the practice is unnecessarily cruel.
It works really well for translating one "language" to another "language".

Give it some structured data and ask it to summarize it (e.g. hourly weather data and it gives a better summarization than a template based one).

Give it HN titles and the categories and it does a passable zero shot tagging of them ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34156626 ).

I'm toying around with making a "guided bedtime story generator". A friend of mine uses it to create a "day in the life of a dinosaur" stories for a child (a different story each day!)

The key is to play to its strengths rather than testing its bounds and complaining that they break in weird ways when they will inevitably break in weird ways.
The problem is compounded by the fact that sometimes it produces really good results. One task, good results. Next task, totally hallucinated result.
If slack chat is down and they use it internally, how would they know about outages. Probably would need sms
The obvious follow-up is to create the non-existing API endpoint but hook it into GPT so that it can hallucinate a convincing address based on the phone number. Take GPT API key as input so that the caller is paying for this.

Bonus points for using ChatGPT to implement this end-to-end.
I'm not sure what should i want to disagree about here. Putin is not a good guy in my opinion, as is Yeltsin. I don't think that natural resources, such as oil, should be privatized. To be honest, i think it shouldn't be nationalized either, as i'm against idea of economically autonomous nations. The globalization is the only way for humanity to survive(i believe).

I have never had a problem sending someone crypto (I'll admit though, offramping can be a b*tch). I often lose hours of my life on hold with banks when they block a payment and/or freeze an account for a regular transaction.

If you avoid BTC and ETH and use something like XLM or NEAR you can get dirt cheap fees and fast settlement times.

I would agree with you and say perhaps between 30% and 90% of people creating and maintaining crypto only care about short term gains, but I'm an optimist and think the minority that believes in it will triump in the end.
There are many episodes where the treat the parent as a toy. Specifically the dad.

For example. Theres an episode where the father is trying to give the kids a bath. They repeatedly ignore him that its time to be done playing it bathe. Or to stop splashing and make a mess. And by repeatedly i mean there's no control, eventually the Mom walks in and groans, there's a huge mess, kids still aren't bathed etc etc.

Its an overarching theme that the dad is largely a toy. And even when he tries to be stern or strict its joked and laughed off and ignored. Moreover that the kids cant really have "fun" without the dad being actively playing.

Overall the lesson is the kids learn the dad was right in the beginning and much effort would be saved by them listening, but that falls flat on a 3-6 year old passive listener (they do pick it up sometimes in the moment).

And there are actual times where I CANT be actively playing. I love to but its a time and place thing. There are times i have to fix things, clean up, prep dinner, etc etc. And our style is the kids in those moments need to be able to go and play.

Additionally, in our house, theres a time and place for playtime and joking and a time and place where you need to listen and do what we say. It can be a safety issue otherwise (ie: no stopping or listening in a store, parking lot, street etc). And even more the kids have to learn that when I say (or they say) "enough" that means enough and you need to respect the wishes of others, family or not.

Overall Bluey is decent, better than most even, and certainly tries to break that 50-80's mold of parents "not your firends" and theres a huge barrier/gap. But with all things, theres a happy medium. So as a result we have to moderate their intake of it (and plenty of other shows too). Bluey is just a good example where the fanbase can be rabid in their support, and sometimes forget that kids are kids and dont understand context or "real" vs "fake" well at all, something we as grown ups see as second nature now.
So let me get this straight, trust is measured on multiple axis except for the axis of children which sets the maximum?

that's exactly why casual multiplayer lobbies suck, it's a 'Find Now' magic button with no data other than your previous games, rather than a lobby where I , an expert, can join "Experts Lobby #3030", create a small friend network on that server, enjoy repeat sessions, etc.

Yes, they tried to fix the social aspect with friend lists/etc, but they also got rid of the homeopathic solution of user self determination for the sake of making the game more onboard-able for novices and casual players.

I say '... the game' a few times, you can apply these ideas to practically any modern multiplayer game out there nowadays that's even a bit popular.

> How many died so we can have this computer, these clothes? The lives of how many exploited africans, asians and latinos it costed to make these things (computers, cellphones, clothes, but also grains, vegetables, food, oil, minerals)?

Not very many. Regarding Africa in particular, it's not actually a major mineral producer, it barely contributes anything [1].

Marxists insist that the global economy somehow depends on African children ineffectively toiling in cobalt mines, because they need to maintain their zero-sum moralistic vision of economic relations where African poverty explains the riches of the First World and vice versa. In reality, had Africans been richer, they'd have been able to develop their resources in a proper industrial fashion and invest into covering their own needs, to the common benefit of them and everyone else. The current state of Africa is undesirable for everyone. It's just that not every tragedy is a product of a conspiracy and exploitation by capitalists.

The third amendment states that no soldier may be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner, but since that only applies to the government it is ok for McDonalds, the RIAA, Microsoft, or Elsevier to quarter their soldiers in your house even without asking for permission.

This was a pretty common tactic of oppression back before the war; it’s harder to plot a rebellion if a squad of Redcoats is camped out in your living room. I understand that China is fond of it as well.
Last I tried all three of the semi-popular formats like this, AppImage was the only one that didn't feel fundamentally wrong (though what I gather was the closest thing to an official repository for them looked sketchy as hell—somehow they copied the exact CSS vibe as a content-scraped StackOverflow spam site). But that was a couple years ago. I know Snaps still suck, but haven't messed with Flatpacks since then, so maybe they're better now.

I used to work on an anti-cheat briefly, and migrated away form relying on Windows API to do this as the parent comment suggested, instead we used cache timing "attacks".

Antivirus was a concern but easily solved by the fact that cheats access memory many times a second, antivirus does it rarely if ever.

The chart on the article is nicely balanced by their chart on anther article about who's losing their shorts in the streaming wars: https://variety.com/vip/will-paramount-and-peacocks-pivots-b...

My takeaway was that this is largely correlated to "not making as much from streaming, gotta make it up in physical media". Disney's middle finger to physical media releases matches their wins through streaming (maybe the losses in the chart don't mean as much for them as the dominance/share from positive sales does?).

Well to be fair, I think this is less of an issue of maps being inaccurate and more people blindly following it without considering whether or not their truck can fit down the roads.

Because traditional packages are running out of steam. IMO people want a stable (not changing) underlying OS with a dynamic set of frequently updating applications on top. Arch nails the second part but completely fails on the first. Debian nails the first but fails on the second. Something new is needed.
Several reasons but one is that, a lot of games where cheats are super effective are places where you can have "silent" advantages like ESP, equipment data, silent aim adjustment for better headshots/tracking, etc. These rely on the ability to not be detected and are extremely subtle when compared to normal gameplay. The more subtle, the harder to detect. Little of this applies in a fighting game. It's largely a mind game, not a game of inputs or technicalities. You're on the same level, can see everything. The only hidden information is what moves/combos you have, your opponent has, and how much information your opponent has on you. You have to be able to read your opponents moves, and respond appropriately. You have to trick your opponent and bait them into a scenario that is in your favor. Attacks have definitive strengths and weaknesses, and certain baits are better against certain people. If you attack me, and I intercept your attack with a "crushing blow" that simply overpowers your attack -- there's nothing the cheat can do to stop that, short of just like, breaking the game and undoing my damage. If I bait an attack, and you do it, and I dodge it by laying on the ground -- it can't retroactively change your input. If I set you up for a combo and begin wailing on you, the cheat cannot generally stop that. These games have mechanics where certain inputs just can't follow other inputs, where inputs are buffered certain ways, where there are vulnerability windows, etc. Exploiting these are key to success and cheats can't stop these mechanics.

An example is Tekken where I play as Lei Wulong. He's extremely uncharacteristic and idiosyncratic, to the point that if you fight actual Lei players -- it's immediately obvious that bots don't play the same. One of my friends (a newer fighting game player) particularly hates my playstyle and tried to scrim against Lei bots to practice, but instantly realized they play nothing like me or any other Lei. Lei is a rare character to play. So he had to just keep scrimming, really.

Many fighting games also have literal handicap mechanics that might be seen as equivalent to cheating in some capacity, but for the same reasons, it doesn't matter. They are often there to level the playing field, which is considered fair. Basic Combos in Tekken allow even the simplest of players to pull off powerful moves like Wind God Fist, but it doesn't matter how easy Wind God Fist is, I can and will still beat them even with that handicap, with no special moves of my own, because I can just read their attacks and respond and punish all of them and set them up and bait them endlessly.

That said cheating does happen but often it's the last thing on my mind. Bullshit characters that are unbalanced is where all the complaints go. ;)

TL;DR Humans have distinct fighting styles, and fighting games are largely mind games once you get into them. Cheats that are subtle enough to avoid detection can often easily be outplayed because of it.
> While these are all good practices, killing DoH conclusively on your home network is more difficult than you've made it seem

Oh I know but so far you can still ask both Firefox and Chromium to not use DoH and hence force them to use port 53 and from what I've seen they really honor that. For the moment.

I don't doubt that in a not so distant future we may see companies hardcoding DoH into apps without any possibility of removing that setting!

What I do is no panacea but it gets rid of a lot of things.

> There are so many sneaky ways to resolve a hostname an app or device can choose to use now.

But I whitelist apps that can connect to the net. Browsers, apt (for Debian/Devuan package update), the one that update the NTP/time, SSH out and that's basically it.

OEM Service Release 2 included Internet Explorer 3. The installation of Internet Explorer 4 on Windows 95 (or the OSR2.5 version preinstalled on a computer) gave Windows 95 Active Desktop and browser integration into Windows Explorer, known as the Windows Desktop Update.

> the problem is not unsolvable

Perfectly true, and my comment was the kind of irritated snark about imperfect open source software that I don't like hearing from other people! It just so happened that I had launched Software literally about 5 minutes previously for the first time in months and it .. sat there and did nothing.

I do think it's a good idea though, at least while we have this hopefully transitional period of multiple overlapping packaging/update systems. I get a bit tired of having to think in terms of flatpack and dnf and asdf and cargo and pnpm and .. not to mention all the odd bits and pieces I install & compile from source and forget to update.
