I suppose one question is whether they sold it or they are now HODL-ing $170M of crypto.
Unrelated to crypto but I've noticed the libertarian nerds of Cryptonomicon at the time seemed like likable quirky characters. Now that it's a huge and grating subset of the population, it doesn't reread well for liberals, the modern day main character was almost too annoying to read about for me.
It certainly is silly, what incentive does a game developer have to let someone transfer in game assets they bought for a different game instead of selling the in game assets themselves? There isn’t any incentive to allow it so it won’t happen.

If you mean transferable as in able to sell an in game asset to another player, Valve has offered that for at least a decade.

Whichever side of Catholic-Protestant disputes is a perversion, we can avoid inventing false ones as a slander. (The Decalogue, as I recall, has something to say about that.)

> Salvation by works, condemned in the Bible

The Catholic Church does not believe in justification by works but that works are the fruit of justification; for a rather more thorough explanation, see, the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification By the Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church. [0]

I think this is sensible. You have two markets one that is willing to read the original and one that prefers bowdlerized versions of works.

This is one reason why I am skeptical of Chat-GTP. In concept the is great but in the end it is controlled by corperations (Money$$) that can and will bias the results to whatever beliefs they subscribe to. This particular case shows an obvious bend similar to any article you read in liberal MSM.
Not so much. Making it available allows OpenAI to evaluate and iterate on the chatbot layer, which has had much less data and engineering invested.

You equate lack of ubiquitous self driving cars with lack of progress in self-driving technology, but even if we've had super-linear progress in terms of self-driving "driving skill," if that skill is below the threshold where the sales from pushing the software are less than the potential legal liability, companies aren't gonna push it.
> Like AWS and Azure, chances are GCP/Google's internal hardware division bills internal teams similarly to external customers (especially as Sundar continues to demand cost cuts)

Having worked on such large conglomerates it’s closer to friends & family discount than from large external company discount.

This is so widespread that one such company had <company color> dollars (internal purchases) and green dollars (external customers) pricing.

Yes, you did. You're doing what blockchain enthusiasts always do, speak in abstract terms about how things should theoretically work, not how things actually operate in the real world. You lack even the most basic understanding of what contracts are or how they work.

This is just the latest iteration of the oddly-pervasive belief that the online world is another universe disconnected from normal reality, and therefore not subject to real-world law or power. People are always shocked to find that it isn't true.

It was done so poorly that this thought had already crossed my mind. A bunch of the changes were obviously unnecessary by any standard, and they didn't even pay attention to things like meter when editing poems.

I'm not even necessarily against this (we do this to kids' literature all the time and basically always have—as longs as the originals can still be had, not a big deal) but this was so lazy and awful that it's hard to believe they were serious—this was straight-up an illiterate editing effort.

> The chance that chatgpt just hears your example and than does the right thing is nearly a no brainer.

ChatGPT can't do anything. Someone has to, somehow, wire it up to actual physical or digital controls. Intent recognition and slot filling still have to happen somewhere, and that means defining discrete intents and slots.

GPT may be better at mapping from speech to intents, but it can't magically interface with APIs that haven't been defined.

EDIT: To elaborate a bit, the problem in OP's story isn't caused by a bad language model, it's caused by no one at Apple thinking to define different "alert volume" and "media volume" intents. Current language models are plenty good enough to recognize the distinction, so simply adding ChatGPT won't be enough to make any feature work unless someone at Apple predicts the need and writes the interface.

I think of it more like "direct" control over the hardware, like no RTOS and no framework, just your binary code running directly by the processor, and accessing the hardware features via registers.

With the ESP32 it seems that this is not something reasonable to do, as most things require extensive setup that is implemented in the framework.
Can you be more specific about the views that are buried? My experience is that HN has a wider range of views than any other forum I go to regularly.
When I come back to a bit of code I haven't looked at for a long time, I find the class names I set on the individual elements extremely helpful, like comments that never go out of date. I can immediately orient myself and know which classes to look at (I use scoped/namespaced classes; not like BEM which is too dependent on HTML structure, just a namespace with the element class, like .Banner-icon).

I've never fully committed to TailwindCSS, but I have tried out my own utility classes on a smaller scale, and I found myself having to parse the entirety of the code to figure out what was going on.

My preference now is a mix of utility classes for super basic things that would be tedious to set a class on, and custom classes for everything else. Especially if media queries are involved, because good lord is that ever tedious to do with utility classes. If I find myself setting more than 2-3 utility classes on an element, I usually end up moving that to a CSS class for one reason or another. I don't define the utility classes until I need them, and I really don't use very many.
Yeah. Prior to their statement, there was basically no public discourse about the books being offensive.

Then the PR statement came out, and anti-woke people are up in arms about it, and everyone else is going “huh that’s just weird to do”.

I'm talking about both the typical user, and the intention behind creating Linux. The intention was to give freedom to explore and to modify. Using something like Flatpack takes that freedom away. Yes, unfortunately, Linux may be subverted into doing things its authors didn't intend... well, giving freedom has that kind of danger.

> Imagine a browser

It's a browser problem. It's not a Linux problem. We have an awful application distribution platform that grew out of distributed document database. Something that, from engineering standpoint should have never been allowed to happen, but happened due to greed of some and hubris of others. We should fix browsers, not operating systems to deal with this problem.
MIT wins 83rd Putnam Mathematical Competition
There are two counter examples to your points

Arma 3 and DayZ Stand-alone.

1. Bohemia built modding into the games. Australians wanted to ban DayZ for a marijuana mod. The shitstorm was minor. And the game was never banned.

Most servers that try to use… distasteful mods… tend to die a fairly fast death once the novelty wears off.

2. Central servers are not moderated. Instead they use BattleEye, which is just awful (2 week lead time to bans, if they even get detected).

Because of that terrible anti-cheat system, it has actually lead to thriving communities which are actively moderated. Where all those sorts of behaviours you describe are often an instant ban offence.

3. Active community moderation deals with this. Check out AnarchyHD. Or check out this twitch clip of StevESP getting banned on stream https://clips.twitch.tv/KnottyResourcefulBubbleteaBuddhaBar-...

4. No you can’t. You have to grow your user base. DayZ recently reached a new peak in simultaneous player population. Almost 10 years later. This isn’t the first time they’ve hit a new peak over the last year or two either.
That 27% rate would be illegally high in most countries. Not to mention the many places which have high-quality public broadcasters with few or no ads.

That said network TV isn't necessarily a great comparison. For me I'm most likely to compare with YouTube of the past, very similar content, but no ads. Or YouTube with adblock or third-party android apps.
The book calls out that "lesser men" could be horsewhipped if they committed an offense that would be considered an insult if spoken by a gentleman (implying that lesser men are not capable of actually insulting a gentleman).

I hope no one is relying on it! But in the context of a regular user, maxlength measuring all chars is failsafe (user is allowed to submit a long string that should be caught by validation elsewhere) vs measuring visible chars is faildangerous (user can’t submit a valid string because the front end validation stops them)

Couldn't agree more! I'd love to chat more about this. Just sent you an email :)
I feel that that is one of those ideas that sound great in theory, but is impractical in reality. There are way too many packages with similar names already but are completely valid.

What makes me wonder is why it’s always NPM that’s hit with these kind of things, and not, say, Maven? Arguably the attack surface of Maven is much larger and intrusive (lots of enterprises), but the mechanisms of package distribution are completely different. There are a shitload of scans and sanity checks happening when you push a package to a Maven repo such as Sonatype, which I don’t see as much with NPM (and also Pypi for that matter)

(fwiw, I am responsible for package distribution of all APIs of a reasonably popular timeseries database)

Any attempt at defining what people think of as characters is going to fail because of how many exceptions our combined writing systems have. See: codepoints, characters, grapheme clusters.

Did you use email ~2000? It was a nightmare in sheer spam volume. Zero cost of copying + zero cost of sending = send worldwide all by default, or as close to it as they could get.

I'm sure the amount of email that isn't even seen in modern webmail services would still boggle our minds.

And as far as I see it, platforms are part of the problem.

Marketplaces are better for the customer in the long run.

That is to say, shared infrastructure/basic utilities with many different independent vendors on top, each offering goods and services.

I was in the exact same situation. I loved my team at Meta and learned a ton, but after the increased intensity QA from Zuck I went through two rounds of re-structuring and was shuffled to new teams. I found that I didn't have the motivation to learn the specific implementation of the huge layers of abstraction the new team was creating.

Couple this with a general questioning my life goals and if I want to spend more of it on making ad serving slightly better. I was left searching. I've landed at a new gig and I've been so much happier despite a sizable pay cut at my new role.

In general, while it clearly created huge turmoil, I wonder if one large round where you potentially cut too deep would be better on company health than many smaller rounds. I'd be curious if the sentiment of engineers at Twitter is now more positive then that at Meta.

Then Siri then just forgets about it and doesn't do anything.
He has written a lot of sci-fi that has to do with technology including cryptocurrencies and the metaverse(he was potentially the first use of the term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaverse). That would be why it can get attention, he is a writer who has explored these topics a lot so you can say his relationship to it is thinking and organizing his thoughts about tech / tech-dystopia.
Eh I think he's a composite representing just a general "tech visionary world changing genius guy." Based on when the book was written and some of the concrete details (space mining company) I read him as pretty significantly based on musk and bezos though.
If you don't know the author, signatures do nothing. Anybody can sign their package with some key. Even if you could check the author's identity, that still does very little for you, unless you know them personally.

It makes a lot more sense to use cryptography to verify that releases are not malicious directly. Tools like crev [1], vouch [2], and cargo-vet [3] allow you to trust your colleagues or specific people to review packages before you install them. That way you don't have to trust their authors or package repositories at all.

That seems like a much more viable path forward than expecting package repositories to audit packages or trying to assign trust onto random developers.

There are loads of them. In fact, it is very rare that a genuinely good game would feel 'aged' going back to it or discovering it for the first time. 'Blockbuster' games that were only ever popular because of some great special effects (graphics, multiplayer etc.) would of course age very quickly - just like similar kinds of movies.

I think the problem is the scale of the money. No one is worried when people pay $10 for some intangible thing like in-game bling. But NFTs sell for amounts of money people associate with cars or houses, and it gives them icky feelings when other people can throw around money like that.

I just finished reading Eric Hoffer's Ordeal of Change. It's a great book exploring the behavior and psychology of people who make change happen. In the last few chapters he summarizes it by saying:

"The severing of the individual from a compact group is an operation from which the individual never fully recovers. The individual on his own remains a chronically incomplete and unbalanced entity. His creative efforts and passionate pursuits are at the bottom a blind striving for wholeness and balance. The individual striving to realize himself and prove his worth has created all that is great in literature, art, music, science and technology."

It clearly applies to many apex predators that spend most of their lives on there own.
