Durnago, CO is close to Utah, so that's not a surprise.

I've used `1.1.1.1`, `8.8.8.8`, and others during this debacle, which I can't recall.

Here are some query responses that I received during the incident, but I can't tell you which resolvers were in use during the queries.

The only difference I've seen is order, which is expected.

[edit]

I actually spot some different IPv6 hosts above, after having taken a closer look.
Respectfully, you don't know what you're talking about.

Nintendo has a history of hosting competitive tournaments for games such as Pokemon (and even in a limited capacity Smash Bros). They even made a Pokemon game targeted at competitive players called Pokemon Unite, which they continue to organise tournaments for.

For Smash Bros in particular, they partnered with an e-sports company called Panda Global to officially sanction a circuit last year.

However, their awful track record with e-sports comes from mercilessly shutting down events they are not involved with (even when the organisers have reached out to Nintendo in good faith to discuss their involvment). They even go out of their way to dish out cease-and-desists at the last minute so that organisers don't have time to consider their legal options and rights before going ahead with the event.

There was a big scandal last year when Nintendo were having positive discussions about a partnership with a circuit called Smash World Tour then turned around and proceeded to threaten them just as the end of year finals were about to take place, forcing them to cancel an event that had been over a year in the making, and involving many professional players, hired staff and a lot of money (they could have just let them continue without being involved).

And just as a clarification, almost all these Smash events are not organised for profit by your big bad e-sports companies. Due to Nintendo's actions they have been mostly organically grown community-led efforts, all they want to do at the end of the day is have fun and play the game together.

Nintendo have shown time and again they will abuse their status as a big corporate entity to destroy harmless fan activity if they are not happy about it for any reason.

So just because you have a disdain for something in particular, you shouldn't project that onto a situation and use it as a false explanation for what's happening.
I believe that's why the article is saying "little" languages. Not all languages need a package repository and a language server
Let that be a warning to anyone who gets excited about this podcast! Wow it stinks. It's like the creators were trying to replicate a Dragonball series of cliffhangers without any substance.

In that way it is good. A tremendous demonstration of how the tiniest bit of information (Many kids benefit from phonics) can be stretched into hours and hours and hours of content through some emotional manipulation.
> Can we even trust anything at this point?

No, and I feel badly for anyone who thinks that is a new thing.

See: Milli Vanilli
Well, regardless of what you think about who is in the right morally and legally, I will say one thing: Nintendo sure knows how to take an opportunity for good PR and turn it into a PR nightmare for essentially no gain. Nintendo definitely manages to succeed in spite of their corporate antics and absolutely not as a result of them.
Its called puritan pandering for clicks.

They also don't give enough polish to their products.

For example, the Nexus 5 (2013!) had a bug - if you took 7 photos in quick succession, it wouldn't save photo 3 and 4. For example, you're photographing someone doing a dance, and you want a photo on each beat, so you tap the shutter to the beat of the music.

On a 2022 Pixel 7, 10 years on...... The exact same bug.
Exactly, that's where this line of reasoning goes.

In reality, the political leaders in charge of this societal reordering will themselves become the next upper class, and you can bet with certainty they'll give their own kids the best education and opportunities they can (which will be better than what they offer the masses).
That might have been true years ago. It's currently leagues ahead of any other OS outside of Windows and Mac. It's still limited and quirky, but pretty much covers the basic needs of "normal" people.
> And perhaps therein lies the aspirational element of the name.

Very possible. It mirrors the naming convention of fictional spaceship in the Culture novel series. A series Musk is a professed admirer of. They even named two of their drone ships after fictional spacecraft from the series.

In that series it is a running gag that other aliens find the Culture's naming convention lacking a certain gravitas. When you have one super weapon you might be tempted to call it "Death Star" or something. But when you have millions you let the warship AIs pick their own names and that is how you end up with a mighty warship named "All Through With This Niceness And Negotiation Stuff" or "Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints". That is a real flex, I would say.

So all in all Musk is familiar with the concept you are talking about here. I can't say for certain if that is going on here or not though. Most likely a Culture spacecraft's AI would roll their eyes over a crude space dingy which can barely reach orbit called "Starship" though. :) So who knows.
They broke training fresh neural networks for people while AI training gets the most careful and best supported and financed training. Which is already going exponential. What could go wrong?
This is a great article, not only in explaining a lot of aspects of color spaces, but also highlighting just how maddening it is to use tools that deal with color spaces, because every tool has all sorts of silent defaults and assumptions that are always different/incompatible with another tool. It's maddening.

And it's only getting worse now with HDR (high dynamic range) content, as opposed to regular SDR (standard dynamic range). Fun fact: on a Mac at least, if you have the same content (hit TV show or movie) in SDR (usually 8-bit 1080p) and HDR (usually 10-bit 4K), there is no video player that will play the HDR version in a way that matches the SDR version. They range from unwatchable (VLC plays HDR content impossibly dark) to watchable-but-still-darker (Infuse) to weird (IINA is normal brightness but the colors have weird tint/saturation).

How HDR is defined in theory sounds reasonable but is disastrous in practice. While SDR just maps brightness to whatever your display is (from 0 to 255), HDR maps actual real-life brightness from pitch black to the brightest sun (from 0 to 1024). So the idea is that if you shoot outdoors on the brightest day, a hypothetical screen someday should be able to display it equally bright.

Now this is disastrous in practice from a creative standpoint because if you're watching a movie, cutting from a dark indoor nighttime bedroom scene to a sunny outdoor party scene is going to hurt your eyes. It's too jarring. Movies and TV generally don't want a real-life range of brightness. Not to mention, of course, that we don't have display technologies that can achieve it anyways, or even anything close to it.

So what are TV shows and movies doing? As far as I can tell, they're essentially filming and color-correcting in SDR as they've always done, and then using some totally arbitrary formula to convert that to HDR for HDR mastering. Bright sunlight scenes are never encoded as actual sunlight brightness (thank god), the relative difference between a nighttime bedroom scene and a bright outdoor scene in HDR is the same as it is in SDR (again, thank god). The only HDR "special features" seem to be that things like VFX lightsabers, explosions, sparks, and so forth get extra-boosted brightness in HDR.

Now back to the video players on Macs: because there is no official recommendation of how to translate HDR to real screens that have traditionally only shown SDR content (e.g. a Macbook display), they all do it differently. Which sucks. Not only are they all playing HDR content badly, there isn't even a right way to do it. We're lost in the desert.

What's the solution? Somebody needs to contact Hollywood to figure out what the de-facto translation is that they're using when they release SDR and HDR versions of the same content, and then just run the formula backwards so playing my TV show that's HDR-mastered looks identical to the SDR source they also put out. (At least for regular scenes, both nighttime bedroom and outdoor party. The VFX things like lightsabers and explosions might get washed out to bright white but that's far preferable to the other 99% of the content being too dark.)
I'm not sure that's a great example of quick-pivot defensive decision-making on Microsoft's part. It was just a leaked slide deck of a hackathon project done by a few employees. If the project actually gets greenlit and shipped, that's another thing.
Impressive. The easy enumeration of guiding/validating tests is nicely thought out.

A recent article said ChatGPT vindicates Ask Jeeves[0], but it struck me that it's closer to fulfilling the dream of COBOL — programming in plain English (or another natural language). This project really drives that home.

How do you search on your phone? Open the web browser, navigate to google.com and enter your query?
Yes, I need to refocus the homepage content to show the parts that are better. I think I need to separate the API reference from the Getting Started guide (it's kind of mixed).
Because play store have less rules? FB can steal all your photo and play store couldn't care less.
This is how we went with https://wasp-lang.dev/ (a DSL for building full-stack web apps). It is a very declarative language (config pretty much) and there is still plenty of work around tooling, but also enabled to cut down on a lot of boilerplate.

Another route to consider when implementing a DSL, is to make an embedded one (e.g. like Terraform or Pulumi have, even both at the same time). That doesn't resolve all the tooling problems since there is still a compile step, but might provide a more integrated experience, although at the cost of brevity.
> Now that AI has upset the applecart, they can use Bing to choke off Google's airsupply.

It's more like Google has to change from optimizing for next week's revenue numbers to optimizing for user experience. People have been saying for years that their search results are trash. That we haven't seen a response from Google may be an indicator that they aren't able to return useful search results.
Yes that is ironic. As someone else said, Google made the best de-Google-able phone. But from what I gather they chose it because of the specific hardware features and they need to restrict what they support to keep the project manageable and maintainable.

I bought mine outright and wiped the Pixel version of Android and am pretty happy. To be clear, I wasn't trying to avoid giving Google money ... I just wanted a phone and operating system that I felt like I had control of, without having a ton of bloatware and spyware pre-installed by the vendor etc.
> why did you make this about

We were talking about democracy and citizen's education regarding how their own country's political systems.

You're the one who is so obsessed and foaming at the mouth with any chance to bash China/USSR, you couldn't hesitate to derail a non-ideological conversation into boring ideological drivel.
My current employer is pushing us to Office 365. We have a lot of meetings that center around a shared document. The syncing in Word is extremely slow and in Excel we gave up on it entirely because we got constant merge conflicts with no clear way off fixing them. Outlook web is very slow and sometimes stopped fetching new emails till you reload. Meanwhile outlook for Mac silently doesn't show more than ten all-day events which lead to massive confusion during the holidays with our shared OoO calendar.

I understand that some might see offline storage and editing as advantages, but I've only seen it create chaos. It makes the file save dialog much more complex and I constantly have non-technical users mail files around like it's the 90s because they don't understand how to share it properly.
I imagine they don't want the headache. Confronting this guy with his lie could get very messy from a legal and PR perspective.
You think the chief users of Office apps are software developers?
I'm not sure if it's the point GP is trying to make, but I would like to see GPUs with extra VRAM that don't have the extra compute. eg. similar performance of a 4070Ti but with 24GB or 32GB of VRAM.

I don't see a really good reason why OEMs couldn't do that now, in the past there have been OEM cards that have more VRAM than the reference design. I'm sure there's an appetite for cards like that for people who don't want to refinance their home loan to get 2 x RTX 4090 cards.
We will only see a monopoly if there is protectionism. Regulations, licensing, do not compete patents, etc.
It's pretty clear that they're doing it for citation farming. I've seen another paper from KAUST that uses fancy title on a trivial paper.
I'm wondering if I'm in the minority, but both of my kids learned to read before they started attending school.

My youngest was old enough to grow up with Netflix and we always keep the subtitles on, so she learned a ton from that. What she didn't always learn, though, was pronunciation. Some of the shows had no dialogue, but had captions for things which happened. Occasionally she will slip up even today (at ~15) and say something like co-croches instead of cockroaches. (Oggy and the Cockroaches)

It's not important, of course, the kids will get there eventually. A child wanting to read because it is fun is far more beneficial than forcing them to read. I love the "click" which happens when then they start devouring books endlessly, and when they transition from learning to read to reading to learn.
This issue seems to stem from the misuses of the term 'techno'. My understanding is that Detroit was house music. I feel like they're using the term 'techno' as an all encompassing term for electronic music. Detroit House and German Techno sound nothing alike and have different influences (and some shared influences if you go back far enough). They both stemmed from Disco in the likes of Summer's etc, but diverged in very different directions, House retaining more of the Disco musical elements, Techno retaining more of the synthesised and electronica sounds.

I could be totally wrong here, but Techno is more than just loops 4x4 beats, and so is House, so it's kind of apples and oranges. I'd associated Techno with Germany and House with America, I'm not sure there's a valid dispute here?
From a radiology world this is fascinating. I'm not worried about job security as I'm an interventionalist. What I'm wondering is about go-to-market strategies for diagnostics. I do some diagnostic reads and I would love to have something like this pre-draft reports (especially for X-Rays). There are tons of "AI in rads" companies right now, none of which have models that come anywhere close to GPT-4 or even this. Personally, I would not start such a company because the barrier to entry is now so low. I think there needs to be an open-source project that just subtrains these models on rads images and is available to all radiologists.
so... it was a myth, but at the same time, the EU press release says "its ceasing to be in effect now!!" ? and I did say "until some years ago".

in what way is what I said wrong? downvoters are just unhappy that their beloved big daddy government did a baddie
I don't think any intelligent person would make the accusation that we don't spend enough on education. On average, the United States spends an absurd amount per student. Even in the places where they spend less than this average per student, they're still spending more than throughout all of Europe.

The question really becomes not if we're spending enough, but what it is that we happen to be buying. How much of any given $1 you spend in taxes purchases textbooks, or pays teacher paychecks? Hell, how much on air conditioning in the summer so kids can concentrate on something other than the sweat dribbling down their foreheads?

How much is spent on the office building downtown that has nothing to do with teaching directly, but with people who manage the teachers? And with people who manage those managers?

> So one should strive to eliminate private schools as much as possible. I entrenches inequality.

If the only equality you can figure out how to manage is hammering down all the nails that stick out, what good is equality?
Then it's an impressive demonstration of how modular neural networks can be. Maybe we don't even need to train monoliths
Please do. I can't believe basically every calendar app quantizes things to "months," with a disruptive jump from one to the next, which is just annoying when you want to access time as a day by day, week by week thing. We could get rid of "months," using week number instead for example, and it would not really matter, but we're all forced to that paradigm.
It's not invalid though. Those are the reasons I stopped trying to use Linux on a laptop.
I keep hearing this argument over and over, but I find it uncompelling. As a relatively young person with good vision, who has never been in an accident after many years of driving, and who doesn't make the kind of simple mistakes I've seen the absurd mistakes self-driving cars make and I would not trust my life to a self-driving car.

Asking people to accept a driverless car based on over-arching statistics is papering over some very glaring issues. For example, are most accidents in cars being caused by "average" drivers or are they young / old / intoxicated / distracted / bad vision? Are the statistics randomly distributed (e.g. any driver is just as likely as the next to get in accidents)? Because the driverless cars seem to have accidents at random in unpredictable ways, but human drivers can be excellent (no accidents, no tickets ever), or terrible (drive fast, tickets, high insurance, accidents, etc). The distribution of accidents among humans is not close to uniform, and is usually explainable. I wouldn't trust a poor human driver on a regular basis, nor would I trust an AI because I'm actually a much better driver than both (no tickets, no accidents, can handle complex situations the AI can't). Are the comparisons of human accidents being treated as homogenous (e.g. the chance of ramming full speed into a parked car the same as a fender-bender?). I see 5.8M car crashes anually, but deaths remain fairly low (~40k, .68%), vs 400 driverless accidents with ~20 deaths (5%), I'm not sure we're talking about the same type of accidents.

tl;dr papering over the complexity of driving and how good a portion of drivers might be by mixing non-homogenous groups of drivers and taking global statistics of all accidents and drivers to justify unreliable and relatively dangerous technology would be a strict downgrade for most good drivers (who are most of the population).

In my neck of the woods, if we paid teachers as well, by mid career, as gas station managers, we'd get better teachers.
I haven't heard of a setup like this before. It seems like you would be loosing a lot of efficiency having to translate the voltage to AC and back to DC to charge your batteries.
Kids who are disruptive/discipline problems. Teachers should not be removing slow students who do not cause issues in the classroom. Teachers should remove disruptive students. Disruptive students lose their learning pass, and all would benefit from such a situation.

Teachers becoming disciplinarians is where they become authoritarian, exploitive arbiters of ones future earning potential.
Phones of major vendors sold in EU still contain carrier info for the region even if they're sold unlocked.

Outside of US and China, Samsung for example ships so-called "Multi-CSC" variants of their devices which permanently apply the region and country of your device on first power-on with a SIM-card.

The required information for that is not pulled from the network but is already preloaded in the ROM of the device, a network connection can be used to get an updated version of these profiles though
Can you give some more info on how you use that? I've seen that SwiftKey has some clipboard-related features, but I have no idea what they are.
Measuring “culture” in a manner independent of socioeconomic status seems challenging, but:

> it's that they have a mindset that the best thing they can do for the success of THEIR child (not society) is prioritize education.

Parents with that mindset but who don’t have a safe home or don’t have reliable food or who both work two jobs may have a very difficult time prioritizing education.
