It is. Allowing DRM seems to be a concession to publishers, since there is no real benefit for Valve. If anything it's a significant hindrance that is obstructing their effort to get as much Steam Deck support as possible. Windows-only DRM and anticheat are some of the worst offenders for breaking Proton compatibility.
There's also similarities with making any change to software.

It's relatively easy to merge code in, but takes much more effort and thought to remove the code later. Especially once other things are dependant on it...
What a weird coincidence. I thought at first this would be about the Guild Wars game, but turns out they both have something to do with monks and 55:

The point is that Steam itself is DRM. Even if game itself can work standalone you can't install or update it without Steam client. This is the difference between Steam and GOG.
lmao no. imagine trying to do text to image with anything other than deep learning. nothing else comes close.
Steam isn't anywhere near a monopoly lol.

The impression is giving that certain kinds of people are given easier access, so slip through filters. And there level of access and what they can do is plain ridiculous, relative to their rank or job.

Seemingly they can kind of easily rummage through whatever, which the Snowden case gives hints at. This guy supposedly had briefing slides from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. You would think that's near impossible, for someone at his level, but somehow it wasn't.
I would suggest most people don’t care about broadcasting or having a conversation. They want to get “important” information from people they’re familiar with (news services, celebrities, etc).

Tipping MDs in Investment Banking – 2023 trends
The batteries used in phones degrade quickest below 20% and above 80% of charge. This is already at room temperature. When the batteries or phone is hot the degradation at those state of charge (SoC) is even worse. In the car when using CarPlay the phone can get really warm, especially if it is in the sunlight which tends to happen easily. When left in the shade it gets hot due to restricted airflow.

Therefore I would like to limit the SoC on my phone to not excessively degrade the battery. I very rarely, if ever, need more than 80% of the design capacity of my iPhone anyway. So I prefer it to last longer.
Hey Hacker News community!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new platform, Go Global World for venture investors, and startups.

We’ve built GGW because we recognized several challenges in the current venture investment ecosystem:

Investors spend a lot of time sifting through hundreds of irrelevant startup emails and applications, making it difficult to find the right fit.

Startup founders often have to fill out numerous forms and tailor emails to each investor, taking up even more time.

All of these actions take place across different platforms, sites, and applications, creating even more complexity.

We found this frustrating, which is why we created GGW, the platform we've always wanted:

- One platform where investors can keep track of their startup flows and find other startups on our platform using automatic filters according to their criteria and receive only relevant startups via AI Matchmaking.

- One platform where startups can save time with one startup profile for all investors and present their best selves. Using our technology, a founder focuses on their core business, eat and sleep, while the system is pitching 24/7 bringing only interested investors and it takes just to create a complete profile.

- CRM system that helps track analytics, keep chats under control in one place, and build your investors / startups network.

On our platform, we also made it possible for investors to connect to other investors as well as for startups to find advisors.

Our mission is to help you save time by connecting you only with the relevant audiences based on your specific criteria, connecting you with real people not to “a record from a database”.

We value your time, so communication is only possible if both parties have requested a connection.

Join our digital global community platform of verified investors, startups, LPs, and advisors.

Don't wait, sign up now for the waiting list and start building a quality network!
I tried understanding this article but I don't get what it wants me to be angry about.

Is it just that a political party operates a bunch of Facebook pages where they share memes against their opponents?
It's seems like an anachronism that Steam games are able to install random junk on your system. Those game installers should be completely standardised and most importantly sandboxed.

Similarly, IMO it feels shoddy when Steam acts as a "launcher for another launcher" when starting a game.
Why are you posting on HN instead of reddit then? It's much larger after all.
If you're worried about copying the code, I could see having the self hosted artifact be compiled or otherwise obfuscated would probably deter most people who wanted to reverse engineer it, since it would take significantly more time and effort to open up a compiled app than something just made in JS for example.

If you're worried about copying the API design, well, the implementation is the hard part, not necessarily the API design, which the Google vs Oracle lawsuit also showed, interestingly enough.

Oh wow. I forgot about this game for a long time, until just now.

Our elementary school didn't have enough buses to take everyone home at once. The bus departures were staggered so a few buses would take some kids home and return for the next groups.

You definitely wanted to be in that last group of kids to leave, which meant you got to sit in your classroom and play one of the three games we had on our two Macintosh SE machines: Oregon Trail, Number Munchers, and The Incredible Machine. Hours and hours spent waiting on the bus playing this wonderful game, usually with your friends sitting next to you quietly yelling suggestions at you. Thanks for the reminder!

Maybe we can extrapolate Godel where a complete ruleset cannot be consistent, and a consistent ruleset cannot be complete.

Somewhere in there is the human ingenuity to adapt certain pathological patterns [1] that defeat (current) AI.

But it's not always obvious, and the composer sapiens must defy their own understanding of the rules to create a purposeful deviation (sometimes with help from other AI) [2].

The idea of sharing GPT prompts promotes the implication that results are deterministic. That helps QA, but humans love to play.

This is exactly what we should do to fight back. Why should we do something at our cost to make someone-else's product better, especially when they simply don't care or even take user hostile actions? I used to provide lots of feedback but I stopped doing that for a while as it turned out in most of the cases, they simply did not care at all.

I run a YouTube channel - it ranges between $100-$300 a month ad revenue and $100-$400 sponsorship (depending on how productive I am).

The main issue with it is time - there’s no way I would go full time YouTubing with the current numbers so the day job has to take priority.

The alumina used must not be transparent, it must be as white as possible for maximum efficiency, so standard cheap alumina ceramic should be OK.

CS was a half life mod that valve bought, so it's half-true.

Who are your main customer segments? I ask because I'm implementing Microsoft, Google and Apple email support for my app and Microsoft and Google have an API now, while Apple is still a pain. Beyond that, for custom email providers, I'm not sure who else is major enough to implement for. I guess I'm asking, couldn't your customer do something like I'm doing, to cover 80% of the use cases by using the Microsoft and Google APIs and spending some time using an IMAP client for Apple iCloud, and discarding the other smaller percentage of other email providers?

Granted, it still does kind of suck to implement even these three, but I'm sure it would likely suck less if I were part of a bigger enterprise who could afford Nylas for example, which I looked into but seemed too enterprisey for my needs.
SSM Health opens new pediatric clinic in Tower Grove
A yardstick that I like to use for the exponentially increasing pace of technological advancement is the transition from one lighting technology to the next.

Wood fires were the only lighting we could muster for a few hundred thousand years.

Wick-based lighting like candles and oil lamps for a few thousand.

Incandescent electric lighting started about 150 years ago.

Fluorescent lighting about 70 years ago.

CFL lighting about 30 years ago.

LED lighting about 15 years ago.

OLED lighting about 7 years ago.

There's talk now of direct EL nano-rod lighting, this photon recycling thing, and more.

We'll reach a point where new lighting technology is developed faster than the previous lights reach their end-of-life!

On M1 support. Apple been actively hostile to game developers. Apple has not maintained OpenGL support well, dropped 32-bit binaries, have no Vulkan support and break their APIs and compatibility all the time. No surprise Valve is not enthusiastic about supporting their platform.

You are free to use your meaning of Gish Gallop and distract from the original discussion, which has nothing to do with whether the Russians have done horrible things (they have) or not.

Or, equivalently, you can do the "engineer's trick": To solve an over-determined system Ax=b, where A is a rectangular matrix, you multiply both sides by Aᵀ. Thus you obtain a new system whose matrix AᵀA is square, and you can solve normally.

I have recently progressed out of a burnout state, which started just before covid hit and continued until early this year.

I was lucky enough to be able to take all of last year off from work to focus on my mental and physical health.

It is probably dependant on people (and ofcourse their situation), but when I see someone talking about overcoming burnout by taking a month off I can't help wonder if they are diluting themselves into believing that everything is now fine, or if it was truly burnout to begin with.

If possible, make sure you give yourself enough time to deal with burnout. There is no shame in needing to take extended time away. Your health is more important than a career.
The “scoring” mechanism would perpetuate cultural issues we currently suffer, where people with informed but unpopular opinions are marginalised, and only the most popular opinions and narratives are allowed to be discussed
Yes, I don’t think this can ever be solved completely. Humans in principle have the same problem. For example, a translator may have an epiphany reading the text to be translated, and quit the job. Same for an employee reading some email (or anyone reading social media ;)).

You can add a watchdog AI, but in general they’ll have to understand the input as well to judge the behavior correctly, and who watches the watchers?
Google Maps prompts me to do just that when I navigate any kind of distance. Not sure if it's only when driving through areas with poor reception.
But it remains that we want to see how this works precisely enough to make it work reliably.

"Perhaps the most recognizable video game theme in history, Koji Kondo's main motif for the 1985 Nintendo classic, “Super Mario Bros.,” helped establish the game's legendary status and proved that the five-channel Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) sound chip was capable of vast musical complexity and creativity. The game's main theme, or “Ground Theme,” is a jaunty, Latin-influenced melody that provides the perfect accompaniment to Mario and Luigi's side scrolling hijinks. Kondo's score laid the groundwork for an entire generation of chiptune musicians and has been performed by orchestras around the globe, befitting its status as one of the most beloved musical compositions of the last 40 years."

Aren't there some internal safeguards already in place to prevent overcharging?
Twitter is easier for new users to join. If you aren’t on Twitter and want to be (or have left and want to give it another try), the flow to create a new account is really easy - go to twitter.com, and then the sign-up flow is pretty standard, something almost everyone nowadays is familiar with.

Want to join Mastodon? First you have to choose an instance - there are so many to choose from. If you are joining Mastodon because a lot of people you know/follow already have, it makes the choice easier-just join whichever one they are on-but then what happens if it is closed to new registrations? Whereas, if you just heard about this Mastodon thing and want to check it out, a lot of people (especially your average non-technical person) presented with “choose an instance” are going to respond “er, this thing looks too complicated, I can’t be bothered”
I'm pretty sure you should share them (statue of limitations and all that ;-) ). I probably went to my first SLUG meeting maybe '94 or '95. (I bought my 1st PC specially for dual booting DOS and Linux with Slackware early '93)
> because the code works

The output of these systems can have arbitrary properties.

Consider an actor in a film, their speech has the apparent property, say, of "being abusive to their wife" -- but the actor isnt abusive, and has no wife.

Consider a young child reading from a chemistry textbook, their speech has apparent property "being true about chemistry".

But a professor of chemistry who tells you something about a reaction they've just performed, explains how it works, etc. -- this person might say identical words to the child, or the AI.

But the reason they say those words is radically different.

AI is a "light show" in the same way a film is: the projected image-and-sound appears to have all sorts of properties to an audience. Just as the child appears an expert in chemistry.

But these aren't actual properties of the system: the child, the machine, the actors.

This doesnt matter if all you want is an audiobook of a chemistry textbook, to watch a film, or to run some generated code.

But it does matter in a wide variety of other cases. You cannot rely on apparent properties when, for example, you need the system to be responsive to the world as-it-exists unrepresented in its training data. Responsive to your reasons, and those of other people. Responsive to the ways the world might be.

At this point the light show will keep appearing to work in some well-trodden cases, but will fail catastrophically in others -- for no apparent reason a fooled-audience will be able to predict.

But predicting it is easy -- as you'll see, over the next year or two, ChatGPT's flaws will become more widely know. There are many papers on this already.
> Can you not use [complex technical sultion]
> No need to make more work for yourself.

Recommending somebody to 'just use' some complex technical solution is a very typical and dare I say naive HN response.

Properly running an email service is a hard technical task. The days of just installing sendmail and expecting your email to actually arrive are long gone. Properly running an outbound email service requires knowledge on many domains (networking, system administration, DNS, cryptography, etc. etc.). It also requires plenty of maintenance.

So unless you are actually building an email service, just use a third party like Mailgun and focus on the product that you actually want to build.
Most of the time the exfil doesn’t go to Russian IP space or anything like that. It goes to an S3 bucket controlled by the attacker, and looks exactly like backup or replication traffic.

Network-layer security devices are pretty useless in 2023. Everything is encrypted and everything talks to everything else as part of “normal” operations.

I’m assuming static content hosted on some serverless architecture (so you’re not reserving CPU cycles when nobody is actually using the site), where the host is able to optimize things pretty heavily.

I’m also assuming that the data center gets a significant amount of their energy from renewable sources. Google, for example, offsets 100% of their energy usage with renewable energy. [1]

> Our top requests from the WSL community have been to increase the file system performance, and make more apps work inside of WSL (i.e: introduce better system call compatibility). We have heard your feedback, and are glad to announce that WSL 2 helps solve these issues.

> In WSL 1 we created a translation layer that interprets many of these system calls and allows them to work on the Windows NT kernel. However, it’s challenging to implement all of these system calls, resulting in some apps being unable to run in WSL 1. Now that WSL 2 includes its own Linux kernel it has full system call compatibility.

There a lot of Mac software that been abandoned at some point in time due to API breakage on MacOS updates, driver API changes, etc. Supporting OS that breaks compatibility all the time is expansive even for less complex software and fixing games created on custom engines likely way too expensive.

After all you can install it in Parallels and play Windows versions just fine.
