Back in the day I used to play America's Army (dating myself here). I had figured out where to point and shoot a grenade at the beginning of a round and take out most of the enemy team. I don't know if others knew about this. I just figured it could be done and didn't take long to figure out where to shoot.
To be fair, there really is nothing exceptional in this particular sentence.

Do you think that just $2-3B would be enough to push for developing alternatives to at least Photoshop and Illustrator and Lightroom and After Effects and successfully going after their markets? During what timeframe? Doesn’t feel like it tbh.

Nobody banned me. But yes players accused me of cheating of course. Back then I also didn't know what "netcode" is. Now in hindsight I know that the game gave an unfair advantage to players with high ping. Probably in order to make the game playable with internet connections common at the time. Blame Valve ;)

No cheating involved. Best ping I ever had at those times was 120-150ms IIRC. On that particular server it was more past 300.

Boy those were the times.
yeah I think maybe the way to solve this is to add some kind of API documentation that explicitly mentions that phone lookups aren't possible. ChatGPT will parse it eventually...
Very good advice. Paypal can be convenient, and even necessary, for certain websites that only accept paypal as payment (yes, they exist). I keep $5 in the bank account I have connected to paypal for exactly this reason.
Blacks are the people who would suffer the worst from this attitude, since whites tend to be richer and able to buy their way out of trouble (generators, solar, batteries, private schools, private healthcare).

Not directly related, but what are the odds that if I buy an electric car this year, I will be able to upgrade the battery chemistry in 10 years?

If I bought a car today, I'd like to drive it until I can't anymore. If electric batteries are x times better in 10 years than now, it would suck to only be able to replace it with today's lithium ion.

Imagine upgrading your car in 10 years to take it from 200 miles to 10000.

This is an interesting system. Ambri says:

> Ambri-based systems generate their own heat during use, thereby eliminating the need for auxiliary power for temperature control. These systems like to be used – a full charge/discharge cycle at least every two days will keep the system at its operating temperature and higher duty cycles will not increase degradation.

And:

> Capacity: 1000 kWh, 250 kW

(per container), so it charges or discharges in 4 hours.

So it’s not terribly useful for seasonal storage, but it’s fine for solar or wind with output variations by time of day. Suppose you amortize the cost over 10 years and you cycle once per day, that $17/kWh comes out to 0.4 cents/kWh. Figure a factor of 10 for costs missing targets and the balance of system, and this storage costs around the LCoE of solar.

So, in effect, one could use this to turn a solar installation into a solar+storage installation that can spread the output over a full day without even doubling the overall cost.

This is pretty awesome! Too bad it doesn’t do much about winter or a cloudy week.

isn't the way this works as follows?

- bigtechco buys smalltechco
- merger happens for a few months, drama, layoffs, etc.
- doj sues
- judge/supremes block

well, i see some articles talking about some "recent DOJ victories after a string of losses", so hopefully i'm wrong.

i don't understand why things work like this -- seems strange.

i did read how the supremes decided a long time ago that mergers/acquisitions were always good and right as long as prices went down or stayed low-ish temporarily -- that was the fiction they created, anyways.

and what's the pre-suit meeting about.

DOJ: hey, stop this.
ADO: no.
DOJ: ok, then we filing suit.
ADO: ok.
DOJ: that's it?
ADO: yes.
DOJ: u sure? we really gonna do it..!!???
ADO: yeah, we know, thanks.

Totally agree. Problem is that a lot of industries got way too used to shady practices. Especially online.
In the U.S. at least, most jurisdictions will require the music to be shut off in an emergency -- namely, if the fire alarm goes off. Audio sources commonly are required to have a relay/GPIO input that triggers the shutoff, a network command is not good enough (network switches typically not being life safety rated).

In this hotel scenario, you have one audio source that can be located in a location that can be conveniently tied into the fire alarm relay panel. Stop the audio there and you've stopped it everywhere.

> It's not, because there are differences between private actors and the gov't

I am going to keep my response short to ensure that you cannot possibly misunderstand it.

Point 1.

There are principles that matter, even if it a private company doing the bad thing.

Agree or disagree with this directly.

Point 2.

Yes, if the government does bad thing X, it could be worse than if a private company does it, but it is still bad if a private company does it.

Agree or disagree with this 2nd point, directly.

Edit:

And point 3.

Some of those principles that are mentioned in the previous 2 points are in the constitution.

As in people care about things and principles and motivations, of the things in the constitution, even if it isnt literally the government doing the bad thing.

I once had a Vec<Vec<Vec<Vec<u8>>>> in some Rust code that I wrote. Obviously this was completely untenable; even I couldn't reason about what was going on as I was writing the code. The solution, of course, was to name the parts. The innermost Vec<u8> became a PathComponent, and of course the next Vec out is a whole Path, split up into components, and so on.

I think this kind of thing happens in any language, and the fix is always better naming. It's a shame that C doesn't come with a nice name for the char*. It would make all C code slightly easier to read, and the net benefit for humanity would be huge.

Well, I would disagree that Bitcoin or Ethereum are doing anything useful for us. Bitcoin fails as a currency due to being impractically expensive and slow to perform transactions with. In addition, since there is no central organization to help with fraud protection you end up with a very difficult interface to use, and many ways to accidentally lose your money with no recourse. The code is easy to copy, so you end up with a mess of competing forks with no incentive to converge.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes. I expect it to be funny looking back in the sense that we wonder why people ever thought that bitcoin had value.
There are layers and language is very impractical in these matters (not to say utterly useless considering the 10+ gigabytes of textual philosophical speculation from the past 2,400+ years). One way to think about it is akin to a stack trace: there is the quantum indeterminacy of the electron -> there is the deterministic CPU building on top of electrons (`mov eax, 0` achieves the same state on any x86) -> there are indeterministic effects facilitated by CPUs (the network effects of users interacting using CPUs).

In a similar fashion, yes, each of us is composed from cells with proteins coded in DNA strings, however those cells are able to reach a collective intelligence which is able to run a simulation/model of the world coupled with a simulation/model of the high-level internal state and we call this coupling, in the usual parlance, a "self". This self then goes to decide, based on the past experiences, present goals, and future predictions and hopes, but a decision nonetheless, what determines it-self. As said, these words, i.e. decide, determines, are very loaded and begging the (multiple series of) questions, going through various viewpoints from Sartre and Simone Weil, to Kierkegaard, back to Plotinus [1].

In other words, from a strong Robert Sapolsky-based position: surely determinism is true, we operate on the realm of the regulation of the side-effects of bio-electro-chemical reactions, not on the realm of quarks, however, responsibility in the ultimate sense makes just as much sense as calling someone an "adult" once they are 18 years and 0.1 seconds old: it's an arbitrary determination which allows further operation (breaks the epoché [2], the withholding of assent or the phenomenological bracketing, if you will).

The meanings one gives for themselves are indeed dependent upon past environmental history, yet the point is what you make from what the world makes of you: it's a tertiary and beyond type of operation, across the multiple societal-physical abstraction layers, not direct control.

Huh, this is the third identical reply from 'kjs3' to 3 different comments on very different posts, with no seeming connection.

Surprisingly, I only noticed this 9 days later, it must have been overlooked several times.

I had thought the account got hacked but since the recent submission history seems to be of a person, this is likely a weird attempt at low-effort trolling?

Bizarre, and I don't even know who 'kjs3' is!
This is false. The 5800U will boost well beyond 15w. Ignore their TDP marketing ratings.
Scammers do, but I would be surprised if any of these companies do. It sounds like they're "legit" by the letter of the (current) law if not the spirit, which is why they would care about the FCC banning this. The scammers' operations are just plain illegal.

> You can't control it as a network administrator

Yes you can. Do what corporate firewalls do. MITM all TLS connections with your own personal CA. Don't allow any traffic streams that you can't MITM to leave your network.
> it was always 100% within the CEO's control what that money was spent on. Neumann could have hoarded that money as a war chest, or could have spent it buying something valuable or building something which could be sold profitably. Instead it was wasted (much of it before Softbank's involvement). There is literally no way of blaming investors for this.

I can see how you might think that if it was some normal functioning tech company. As a matter of fact here it is simply not true. This was a real estate play and everybody involved who invested knew exactly what he is going to do with the money -- which is to expand further and faster -- in fact they demanded this and conditioned their investments on it.

No "war chest" was possible here, ha. All of these people though the same as with Uber: grow as quickly as possible even if it means bleeding money, corner the market, IPO as the winner, hope retail investors prop it up long enough for the company to start eeking out profits and pay down the accumulated debts.

From the founders perspective it was like taking money from a loan shark essentially. The only surprising thing about it all is that he made a deal with the devil knowing he was getting played and managed to end up with anything.

Companies will look the other way so long as the leads are cheap enough and result in sales.

Unfortunately certain vendors only accept Paypal. For example, I like to watch billiards, and Accu-Stats (one of the largest PPV billiards sites) only accepts Paypal. So, unfortunately, my choice is either to bite the bullet and use Paypal or be prevented from watching the events I'm interested in.

I think that is the point. If it crashes it'll inevitably go back up is the expected behavior. It isn't always true, Japanese market is still lower than 1989. Measured in dollars most international markets have gone sideways for 25 years.

Got married and started a family, eventually moved out to the suburbs. It’s MUCH better for families. Good public schools nearby, lots more parks and stuff geared for kids.

Every boiling pot needs to relieve pressure. People need an outlet for their frustrations. Wars are far rarer, quite impersonal, and harder to shake off (as is the uniform). Even fistfight by consenting adults can get you in trouble. So many turn to crime.

Maybe there is room for a middle layer between anger and crime, between consenting adults with clear rules.
Are you running arm64 or amd64 images? I switched from docker to podman, mostly due to other issues (e.g., the weirdness with the Docker VM seemingly growing infinitely in size and refusing to trim automaticity), but running arm-native containers has never really made my battery life significantly worse.

The 12+ hours, though, I’m not sure how people are getting that consistently. I feel like VS Code and some LSPs alone make that impossible for me.
