I bought a bunch of skins in League of Legends. I no longer play the game. As a former player, I would love if I could sell those skins on the open market.

Many times while playing the game, I changed my main character, but had skins for other characters I no longer played (maybe they got nerfed or something). It would be great if I could exchange those skins for other skins of equal value for the character I switched to.

Yes, the company itself could implement all these different features, but at that point you're re-inventing the wheel. We have a set of standards regarding digital assets, and the technology already exists to do the things I mentioned seamlessly. The only thing the company needs to do is implement their assets as part of that (ERC721) standard.
how do you multiplex with it though? The docs aren't very helpful
AGI happens slowly then suddenly all at once, to paraphrase a saying. There is no other way it can happen.

I personally like those. They are qualitatively different from ORMs. They give you three things:

- sensible ways of composing queries beyond direct string concatenation

- safe parametrization

- return results into usable data structures (not objects)

None of these things carry the problems of ORMs. They don’t impose a paradigm that isn’t SQL. They simply let you interface with SQL in an ergonomic manner.
The Value of Raw Thoughts
I'm pretty proficient with SQL, and I completely agree that you need to know it well if you use a relational DB for something that isn't trivial, but I still love using ActiveRecord. In most web applications I worked on I needed to manually optimise some queries, either massaging AR a bit or directly writing SQL when necessary, but I would say that's much less than 1% of all interactions with the DB. In all the other situations, using AR saved me a lot of time.

This actually isn't true for some types of farmed fish, like Norwegian salmon, but it varies by area and by company.

The industry is looking into alternatives like insects, and typically 30-40% of the feed now comes from vegetable proteins and oils.

On the other hand, farmed Faroese salmon (just next door) has a much higher % of wild-caught fish in its feed, which contributes to the high omega 3 content of Faroese salmon.

This. It would have been (relatively) easy for Ring to encrypt the video data so that they themselves can't access it. Obviously I don't wish it upon the individuals that use these cameras but I would probably smirk if data gets leaked and Amazon gets sued into the ground.
Actually, found it: https://www.klgates.com/The-Federal-Reserve-Pushes-Back-on-N...

But my reading is that their problem is that having all your deposits with the fed is risky too, since it's over-exposed to interest rates.
> so its not related to mixing

That seems like a huge claim. There used to be different mixes for vinyl, radio, and cd. It’s hardly inconceivable that streaming would have a dedicated mix (I’d assume something which “pops” so it’s noticeable as standalone in the middle of a streaming session, whereas the CD would be part of the album flow)
Dogfooding has serial killed all but one nontrivial project, my KaithemAutomation server which currently serves as my network video recorder.

I tried several note taking apps, long forgotten and replaced by Keep, many with features I wish Keep had(Offline firstness mostly) but none with Assistant integration.

Ironically trying commercial solutions has taught me more about my own work and what's actually important than actual testing it directly.

After switching to Keep I realize what I really want isn't cool spreadsheet and database features, it's integration with Wear, Voice AI, and instant opening from a widget, inline checklists, and the like, and that some of what I thought was a good feature was actually useless or actively a hassle that I was just making use of to justify the effort of adding it.

Shopping lists were actually a major use case, and I made many trips to the store, but the experience is nowhere near Keep.

On the other hand trying Home Assistant actually confirmed why I keep up with my own custom alternative. It's wonderful to have a popular well supported semi commercial style HA, but there's a bit of initial setup work, it doesn't quite have the "Anyone can set it up" property I was hoping for, UI not quite as focused on themed customer facing stuff, logging not optimized for SD wear prevention, etc. But I still check back periodically.

It's just token ownership. What ties tokens to actual physical assets is the institutional framework of laws, contracts, courts and law enforcement. Not a glorified pointer in a glorified ledger.

> The few times I run into memory corruption, a memory leak, a segfault, dereferencing a shit pointer, undefined behavior, and so on, its always, always because I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing. Like working with raw pointers or pointers to pointers to pointers, or traversing an array of bytes to do something there's already a library that does, or manually calling delete on something, or using reinterpret_cast<>, or using one of the many footguns C++ happily gives me.

You've never used an out-of-bounds index? Accidentally used an object that was on the stack beyond the function call? Let an integer overflow? The problem with C++ is that all of these things don't look like unsafe operations, and people end up making mistakes with them that are not obvious.

> On paper you are 100% correct that it is strictly speaking legally easier to amend this law; but in reality, clearing the majority necessary to amend our Constitution is politically a lower bar than getting 7/8 of the legislature to amend this particular law.

Perhaps, but the comparison isn’t “7/8 of the legislature vs. a bare majority of the people” it is “7/8 of the legislature or a bare majority of the people vs. a bare majority of the people”.

It is absolutely not harder to amend Prop 22 than the State Constitution, or a normal initiative statute. It is easier. Perhaps only so slightly easier as to make no substantial difference, but your claim is that it is harder, and that is completely wrong. Even if it is not substantially easier, it is also not at all harder.

I think that the problem is that it primarily learns bottom up features from the high frequency domain.

The invariants that apply top down structures from the low frequency domain aren't as readily recognised or understood.
If you're talking about a general WAN, there's no guarantee that jitter on your route may not violate 12kpps, and it's quite common on most oversubscribed ISPs to stutter receiving 6.144Mbps due to occasional high latency causing a missed packet window (oversimplifying here because there are audio receive buffers as well.) Over a LAN this would only happen if you're pushing your switch to the limit.

Should you buy an audiophile network switch? God no.
> What really does itch.io or Steam offer in the way of protection if a developer wants to be malicious anyway?

It's even worse than that actually. Steam seems to have no problem with apps or games that require elevated/admin/root permissions to run, while at the same time a lack of code signing on those executables, even if the permissions on the file/folder allow modification by any user on the operating system. Some games carry recommendations by the developers, support, or the communities themselves to open up those permissions or run the game as an administrator, to "fix the problem". If you dare raise a concern, you'll be heckled and mocked.

The carelessness around security is pervasive in the gaming community and Steam isn't helping the situation, likely because it would be bad for revenue.

great work! can't help but wonder how this is different from Dash app from Plotly
The game sparsely shows ads - just enough to keep things running. I personally hate (over)monetised apps, and therefore made sure the Snake app doesn't bombard the player with ads.

Part of the game's (organic) growth is (kindly + infrequently) asking players to share their high scores with their friends. It saves me from having to advertise the game to reach new players.
(If a player shares his or her highscore, ads are even less frequently shown, as an hidden reward)

Oh interesting, good to know.

I couldn't figure out how could they spend more than a million per business day in sales.
Except it's not upper management bleeding income, it's the company. They still get their golden parachutes and massive bonuses, then they downsize other parts of the company in order to claw back the costs. They don't have to worry about losing their healthcare or having to survive. Hell they don't even have to care about keeping the company alive, they can just straight up kill it and still reap the benefits like we've seen with Sears and the scumbag Eddie Lampert.

That's the risk. They destroy the bonuses and benefits of their workers to fuel their own rat race.
We use Websockets for state interactions, so the latency may depend on your internet connection + distance to server. We will improve this in the future by leveraging more edge computing and WebAssembly to execute closer to / on the client.
> manage such hype

With hype I think of blockchain (wherein I never understood why removing people from decision-making through automated contracts was worth so much) or the metaverse (where I never understood how they envisioned a world with tech strapped to their face).

The public communication about AGI isn’t exactly a hype cycle. People should, instead, be expecting a fairly dramatic change in many areas of life over the next 3-5 years.

Using a Mac without a network connection
Yeah, it's the same problem as people continually introducing themselves with "I'm an Engineer", especially in a totally non-software social context. No you're not. You're a coder, a developer, a programmer, a _software_ engineer, if you absolutely insist on using the E-word. But not just "an engineer". That is someone who builds things in the physical world, often things that kill people if they fall over or crash.
Sorry but you keep talking about timing. With network speeds nowadays, the audio files get completely or almost completely buffered in the PC from whatever source you are reading it (NAS for example), and then played. Same with video (even when it doesn't buffer the entire video). And video/audio frames are interleaved.

Is not that every packet is "output" as soon as it arrives to the PC.

Or I didn't understand what are you saying.
If you can recognize good feedback and manage expectations well.

From a user’s perspective there is typically a tipping point for a thing that becomes popular enough where user feedback becomes useless, superficial, lowest common denominator crap, which doesn’t understand the value prop, the quality standards and the implications of change vs stability.

I believe this type of feedback often bubbles up for similar reasons bikeshedding can become a problem, which is then perpetuating through social media.

At this point one needs a filter.

The new Github search beta is actually epic, I highly recommend switching. There's no reason to stay on the old one, they're clearly devoting the dev effort to shipping the new version (which makes sense).

> the cow has no concept of morality, only survival.

Actually, many non-human animals have been shown to have strong view on fairness .

If we assume evolution is mostly correct, then the assumption that "morality" only originated in humans is rather suspect; it should be a component of every social animal.

Cows are herd animals. Thus very likely to have a sense of morality.
“Remove negotiation” is that code for removing sympathy that might develop by the support agent for customers issue?
I'd be curious to know how this actually breaks down at the end of the day, in dollars, if you were to fully account for all the money. For example, factor in the cost of getting nonemployer health insurance through an exchange, whatever the equivalent of a pension would be such as using an IRA, etc. (Not sure what "payroll and income taxes" mean in this context.)

I don't have a clear sense of how it all nets out, besides loose high-level mostly political assumptions about various social programs that give me a vague sense Europe is going to be better here. Assuming someone was able to take advantage of all the various programs and whatnot in both the US and EU, how does the actual efficiency of delivering these services net out, fully considered. I wouldn't be surprised with a result that showed it is actualy more similar than you'd think, but I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that Europe is doing significantly better on this metric. I just don't know!
> I would love to hear your ideas, experiences, and feedback on any and all of the above!

1. Why would direct sale be regarded as a plus? I *need* a certified contractor to do the install for the warranty anyway, so instead of buying heat pump install I now have to buy heat pump and search for contractor separately?
Even if this is somehow totally DIY-able device, I still need a contractor to do yearly service anyway. At the same time you would be targeting a population of DIYers with fully integrated product. Those are not really compatible. Whoever is doing product-market fit at your company should really reconsider their bubble.

2. Regarding thermostat, WTF. Per room thermostats are only useful if you can control individual circuits. I have never seen a residential ductwork with circuit control. You tune diffusers and forget. Now, even if you could control per circuit energy flow (which is usually a property of floor heating), in any modern house you would be looking at something like 2 degree difference between zero and max rooms at something like -15C outside. Look at offerings from e.g. Danfoss.

3. Claimed temperature gradients are weird. Are we talking about air source pumps? Modern R32 pumps barely handle -25C outside at MAYBE 1.0 CoP, but manage to heat DHW up to 50-60.

4. Brand. As far as I can understand you are considering building your own units? Do you have proven track record of intimate understanding of metallurgy and design behind modern scroll compressors? Your track record of working at Tesla does not inspire confidence. And even if it did, why would I buy your compressor instead of buying a product from trusted Daikin/Panasonic/Nibe? Not only I know that they make good (performant and reliable) products, but I can trust them more to exist when I need spare parts.

5. > While we don't have any physical prototypes at the moment, we have the industrial design and also largely understand how this will be built. The core technology risk is quite low.

Well... You do not have neither proven prototype nor proven process. And yet you already take preorders. This definitely does not inspire confidence that you intend to ship the best product possible. Sorry if that sounds harsh. Show me your pump achieving at least 1.0 CoP at -25 outside, at least +30 supply at minimum 70% of nominal power.

6. Your value proposition seems to be better integration between heating unit, thermostats and HRV. What are your plans to support wider ecosystem? This sounds like a major lock-in requirement for the whole HVAC system.
Instead, you get companies that aren't penalized for fixing mistakes, even though they negatively affect you.

The companies aren't technically deciding what services you are eligible for, and neither would the government - but they do give information to people that do. And they use a secret formula to do it. I don't know why you think that the government would do this with credit reports. I mean, all they have to do is pass laws to govern banking and declare that they need to not give folks with "bad credit" loans.

The Treasury makes coins.

Paper money is a "Federal Reserve Note". It comes from the federal reserve not the Treasury

The Treasury creates coins or bonds. This is one of the reasons congress has floated the idea of the 10 trillion dollar coin. As it is within their power to order the Treasury to mont that. They can not order the federal reserve to make a 10 trillion dollar bill
Yes. You still see the claim that humans can hear 20Hz-20000Hz. Well, no. We had lab equipment at school and we regularly listened to signals from test equipment - IIRC I could hear up to about 17kHz when I was 16 or 17 (when I could still hear the (European) 15625 whine from TVs). A couple of guys could hear almost up to 20kHz.

All of that was gone when we arrived in our twenties. I couldn't hear the TV anymore (younger people: That applied to analog CRT TVs back in the neolithic). I was tested in the military when I was 22. They didn't even bother testing anyone up to more than maybe 14kHz - intense volume would anyway be needed to hear that.

I can't imagine even very careful people will be able to hear a particularly wide audio range when they're 50+, not even people who walk around with ear plugs all the time for protection (some audio engineers do).
> AI alignment people are the group who are capable of bringing AGI to life, but want to do it responsibly.

AI alignment people are the group who believe “responsibly” means, centrally, bringing AGI to existence as fast as possible, and, critically, under the tight, opaque, authoritarian control of a narrow group of people whose ideology is, well, exemplified by figures like Sam Bankman-Fried, and doing everything possible to advance that goal, including fostering broad acceptance of sub-AGI AI under the same tight control for other purposes without concern for adverse social impact as a means of advancing and funding progress toward AGI. They believe that the ends (AGI) inherently justifies any means taken in its pursuit.

AI ethics people are the group who believes “responsibly”, with regard to AI, isn’t restricted to pursuit of AGI (which is maybe a nice to have, but a non-essential goal), and means openness, transparency, and resolving bias and harm issues as rapidly as possible when, and ideally before, adopting AI – including AI far short of AGI – in roles with social impact (and most critically, resolving those for roles with the greatest social impact.) They believe that AI is, to the extent it at any level is desirable, is a means to improving concrete, present, immediate conditions, not an ends to be pursued in itself.
