Would you like to buy the backing auth system for DPReview? Alternatively, if you auth on there that you haven't used in a few years, how would you feel about that getting sold to some person in the community or an advertiser (maybe Broadway Photo would like to buy it...)?

A decade of some integrations into Amazon - what effort would it take to remove it?

While its a loss (and it is a great loss), the possibilities for things to go horribly awry if someone else was to buy it... and the "this is hosted for perpetuity but all of the information is half a decade out of date and kind of embarrassing now" is also a real risk.

A transition of ownership comes with some risk and cost for Amazon that is more than the loss of the site to Amazon and a transfer of ownership also has some risks to the community.

Did individual developers actually pay that? I’ve done quite a bit of development in the MS ecosystem and can’t recall anyone personally paying for MSDN. It was always through their employer that they got access.
I think you have a valid point or two, but I think you’re not grasping how much enterprises will be throwing money at MSFT.
I don't think so, bytecode / machine code must be really precise, while LLMs are producing nondeterministic outputs (at least GPT). Add "hallucinating" of the output to the pile and right now I think it's infeasible.
Addendum:

I will be supporting this ecosystem in any way I can. If you want to be empowered rather than enslaved by AI, you should consider supporting it too. Every fighter counts!

So that is a free upgrade after 11 years. How are they suppose to make money?

Edit: Thank you for all the replies. No idea CS GO have loot box and cosmetics IAP. My impression of CS is still stuck in the 1999/2000 era.

It is also amazing how long they kept the game running online. I guess since it is not a RPG there is very little things to store. Keeping running cost low.

Purely from a Graphics POV Source is definitely showing its age. Not that it matters as much for CS players.
Thanks, we're excited too!

Flower tries to automate this as much as it can. In cases where multiple organizations are involved, the workload can run in a fully automated manner if that's fine for all organizations. If a review step is required, that can be integrated (either on the client side or on the server side) - the availability of reviewers will then become the bottleneck for end-to-end latency.

In the long run, we will evolve the permissioning system to allow workloads to be automatically executed if they fall within pre-approved boundaries, or require manual review if they don't. Pre-approved boundaries could, for example, be used to configure a particular combination of models and hyperparemter ranges that are ok to run without additional (manual) approvals.

I'm not sure this is indicative of a failing on Bard and Google's parts. I think most movie/dramas that humans create often follow these stereotypes. AIs like Bard train on the content that humans make and build connections based on that.

I think it leads to an interesting question, is it Google's responsibility to try to counter every stereotype or try to make about that operates like a human?

Not saying Ballmer was great or bad but it could be argued that the US Government handicapped Microsoft more than Ballmer was a bad CEO. To my understanding Gates was also very active with the company during those years as well.

Ballmer inherited a company at the top with everyone wanting to crush it & make it dissolve.

Nadella inherited an underdog.

I think this should be considered when thinking about the legacy of the CEO.

Is it just me or as the quality of the game improves, it's more difficult to spot the enemy? In CS 1.6, if you have a cop/terrorist standing against any wall, you definitely will notice it (mainly because walls/buildings/whatever didn't have that much quality regarding details). But in the video of CS 2, since the quality is so great (both for cops/terrorists and for the rest of the maps), somehow I think it's kinda difficult to distinguish others. Like in real life I guess?

People can be really dense but this is puzzling.
I didn't say that having resources meant they should be abused. I said that if somebody can afford $150 for a RPi can afford $2.50/mo for power instead of $0.50/mo for power, and that as a result, factoring in lower power use is a poor reason for buying something you don't otherwise need, especially when that power is easily available.

If that power were coming from locally finite source such as solar or wind, or battery, it's a different story.
There are instances where both words apply to the same situation. You have a serious deficiency when it comes to applying judgements consistently.
It's always somewhat baffled me that Valve didn't do more with the CS brand, and instead allowed Call of Duty and (to a lesser extent) Battlefield to be the go-to FPS games.

Maybe you need to get yourself into an application domain with more bespoke protocols and tooling, and domain-specific expertise, that aren’t public on the internet and that AI therefore doesn’t have much of an idea of. At least at this point, AI is only of little help in my daily work, unfortunately, because I’d have to first explain it orders of magnitude more context than fits into its token buffer.
I know MS Todo also aggregrates the Outlook tasks/flags.
I sympathize with the article's criticism of all those things it mentioned but someone's gotta like it (gas stations, cigarettes, junk food, bible versus, lawyers, etc), otherwise it wouldn't be everywhere, and probably a whole lot of someones, perhaps even the majority of people.
It's funny because "audio bugs" are one of the most frequent complaints in the Apex community. But that's probably just because the players have gotten so used to depending on spatial audio when it works properly, that they get especially frustrated when it doesn't.

I had the original Model B running continuously for 8+ years until the USB contacts rusted-out due to high humidity.

The prices in the article are absurd: why would I choose a $260 SFF PC vs a $5 RPi Zero W I got 5 years ago? The comparison may make sense for new purchases with the ongoing shortage.

I think this premise is false and misunderstands how Evolution works. Evolution works by opportunity, not by pressure. Organisms do not choose to evolve because their habitat is degraded. They don't "try harder" under pressure. The opportunity to infect humans has always existed for a suitable mutation. Climate change does not make advantageous mutation more likely to happen.
I catch myself wishing for something that would mix the game up a bit - say, new or different weapons, or maybe a system where you could assemble your own weapon skins from multiple materials or customize parts individually for different looks.

Then again, playing it safe because it's a popular competitive game title is probably a good idea and the improvements sound really good! Seems like a great way to modernize the game without changing it too much, while bringing people's items and such forwards.
It is the software compability. Things working out of the box, without hassle. Almost nothing beats that. Almost everything is secondary.
Ah yes, the developer dream to replace standardized markup & data & protocols with big massive impenetrable mountains of running code. Zero visible internetworking ethos.

Because if you make the seller think the market is hotter than it is, then they price the house too high, and the house doesn't sell. That results in $0 commission.

I could see them telling buyers that the market is hotter than it is. But even that might backfire, if they make qualified buyers think that they can't afford to buy in the current market.

Just to hop on this, the standard is counter intuitive for rain probability. I'm annoyed, but also fascinated by how much it "makes sense" when I have read about it, but it also "makes no sense" when I just want to know: should I get my jacket? :)

Loose definition (with errors and assumptions, but helps some without getting into actual probability math):

If it says "30%" - many of us have heard "30% chance of showers". It is NOT "30% chance of showers"; it actually is "100% percent chance of rain, over 30% of the area, within a given time, of a particular amount of rain."

Which is STILL (to me), difficult for the average person to comprehend.

Copying and pasting from Weather.com (linked PDF - https://www.weather.gov/media/pah/WeatherEducation/pop.pdf)

PRECIPITATION PROBABILITY
The probability of precipitation forecast is one of the most least understood elements of the weather forecast. The probability of precipitation has the following features:
..... The likelihood of occurrence of precipitation is stated as a percentage
..... A measurable amount is defined as 0.01" (one hundredth of an inch) or more
(usually produces enough runoff for puddles to form)
..... The measurement is of liquid precipitation or the water equivalent of frozen
precipitation
..... The probability is for a specified time period (i.e., today, this afternoon, tonight,
Thursday)
..... The probability forecast is for any given point in the forecast area
To summarize, the probability of precipitation is simply a statistical probability of 0.01" inch of more of precipitation at a given area in the given forecast area in the time period specified. Using a 40% probability of rain as an example, it does not mean (1) that 40% of the area will be covered by precipitation at given time in the given forecast area or (2) that you will be seeing precipitation 40% of the time in the given forecast area for the given forecast time period.
Let's look at an example of what the probability does mean. If a forecast for a given county says that there is a 40% chance of rain this afternoon, then there is a 40% chance of rain at any point in the county from noon to 6 p.m. local time.
This point probability of precipitation is predetermined and arrived at by the forecaster by multiplying two factors:
Forecaster certainty that precipitation will form or move into the area X
Areal coverage of precipitation that is expected
(and then moving the decimal point two places to the left)
Using this, here are two examples giving the same statistical result:
(1) If the forecaster was 80% certain that rain would develop but only expected to cover 50% of the forecast area, then the forecast would read "a 40% chance of rain" for any given location. (2) If the forecaster expected a widespread area of precipitation with 100% coverage to approach, but he/she was only 40% certain that it would reach the forecast area, this would, as well, result in a "40% chance of rain" at any given location in the forecast area.
I've seen the phrase "trust the science" a lot lately, which indicates the someone fundamentally misunderstands what science actually is.
Even if this was a reasonable answer, which it is not, it would only work for one human generation after which there are no more people who lived before the AI wave.

The title talkes about storing contacts, while you hint at 15GBs as being too little.

It would seem that the original title does not match what is being talked about.

Storing you chat logs is a completely different discussion altogether.

And frankly I do not have a horse in this race, as I trust neither Telegram nor Whatsapp and treat all my chat logs as disposable.

Contacts however I save via my own infrastructure, as previously mentioned.
Embedding your assets like this isn't always an improvement. For example, I work on a site with a Go server and static content pages, and I like that I can update one of the pages and see the change instantly without having to re-compile the entire server binary just to get the new files included.

My education is in economics and finance. I just happen to have also programmed for a long, long time. The first thing I would say is that economics is as slippery as nearly any other social science. So no one really knows what will and will not work in macroeconomics because even when they try there could be many convoluting factors to make a reasonable assessment of what actually happened.

>Personally I find the arguments of MMT to be strong. This forum has charactered the theory as an excuse for profligate spending, however, the actual proponents simply state that budget deficit are ok so long as inflation is under control. Therefore, the theory would posit that the actual resolution to this would be to shrink the deficit spend in order to properly tame inflation.

My problem with MMT is the same problem I have with all political economic schemes in the US ... it goes to those that already have it. We already know one thing that does seem to work in a lot of places -- if you have a prosperous middle class, your economy starts booming for everyone! This makes plenty of sense. If wealthy people get money they buy financial or hard assets. If anyone else gets money they tend to (or have to) spend it. It is that churn of money between people that makes an economy really work out. I fear that MMT would just be a debit card for the wealthy with a veneer of helping the middle class or poor. We got a bit of an example with the Covid loans and hand outs. Nearly all of that money ended up in the hands of the rich ... even the money that was given directly to the poor, it just took a few months.
> Maybe there is a long path to improvements on LLaMA

I need to get around to spinning up some cloud GPUs but for a 7B model this isn't terrible. I'd guess there's a big jump when using the really big model variants. Would love to hear from folks who have tried the bigger models.
So....anybody work for Valve and want to get me in on this?

I do not have a ton of CS:GO playtime unfortunately but I do have an assload of CS:Source along with probably even more playing CS 1.5 and 1.6 (started in the early beta days). Also worked briefly as a video game tester and now I do system infrastructure - definitely good at finding bugs and gameplay improvements :-)

Given unreal is owned by their biggest competitor theres little to no chance of that happeng. Valve arent really a video game developer anymore, they just tinker on the side for fun.
My current company has the most humane interview process I have ever experienced. When I started I was shocked by how many good engineers had stuck around for 5+ years, a few for more than 10. That's crazy for a non-FAANG non-legacy software company. It turned out to be a great sign that the company respects one's time and well-being!
Hell no. If I could possibly smell whether you had a shower this morning, you are too close. I'm not going to share a keyboard, terminals are cheap and have been for a long time.

This is a cultural thing. Don't expect me to become a new person to fit into your work flow.

Now I know that buddies of mine did great work like that as teenagers creating games (and some sold reasonably well), so yes this can work beautifully. Thing is just, you're not my buddy and I'm no teenager any more.

It is nice to hear these story, just to know I am not the only one with Gaming addition problem in Uni / College. And I think 3-4 years into the society I stopped all gaming completely. Working Life is exhausting.
"otherwise it wouldn't be everywhere" is not reasoning that holds up in practice. Startups pitch investors a compelling argument for why they're going to be the next big thing, then spend millions (or billions) on scaling up and out in order to prepare for the inevitable hockeystick growth that is going to ensue.

So we may just be seeing some point in the "spend and grow" phase of the startup that precedes it collapsing when it turns out nobody actually wants to play video games at a urinal.
I think subtle changes are going to go a lot farther in this game. In particular, I'm imagining the smoke changes are going to be a bigger change than they seem...
I might start playing FPS games again. I'm too old to compete with younger people with more time than me.
Valve is usually pretty good at sound, atleast it is in Dota 2. I can follow an entire game with only sound effects (I also did play the game for 10 years, which contributes).
Epic’s Announcements from GDC 2023
Did Apple include the local weather prediction in their app? That was the other impressive part of Dark Sky. The combination of prediction and design was why Dark Sky was so good.

I use Android and never used the nice app, but used the predictions in other apps. Knowing when it was going to rain was really handy. Apps now their own predictions but not as good.
I'd expect BingChat to give that exact answer tbh.
> How, exactly, is providing Jetbrains and Neovim support "re-centralizing everything"?

Bait and switch. If it's good enough that Neovim users can't live without it, pulling the plug from Neovim support will result in some subset of users converting to VS Code. Probably won't play out this way with Jetbrains, but editors with smaller following and nobody backing them will most likely suffer this fate. It's happening all the time, most notably with Google products. Google Talk that used XMPP was neat and I switched to it because I could use Pidgin to contact most of my contacts. Not only Google Talk stopped supporting the standard, it even died and was reborn as something else I think 3 or 4 times by now. Of course, my contacts stayed with Google, so I had to leave Pidgin behind. It's going to be similar here, though to what extent I'm not sure, maybe it won't be very noticeable, or maybe it will. We'll see.

>I don't know what their problem is, but it seems to me that it would have been no problem to allow the app to continue to exist as a standalone one while supposedly "integrating" it into whatever Apple's weather app is.

Shot in the dark - Apple wants you to live and die within Apple's ecosystem, using only Apple products. Doesn't matter if they own Dark Sky, it's not "Apple Weather", and that's what they want - iThis, iThat, Apple Something, Mac Whatever. Dark Sky also didn't look or feel like the rest of Apple's products, and they want consistency and are not about to redesign the rest of their software line to fit with Dark Sky's much-loved UI/UX.

Why redo everything you've done when you can just kill off this one little thing and force everyone back over to you?
