The thing is that Mastodon/Fediverse is not competing, it does not have to won. It exists and shows there are options different from the walled gardens. It just works different. Some people prefer local markets and little shops other prefer malls. That's it. Winning is a metric that IMHO is not applicable in this case, much more when it's usually tied to profits or numbers for investors.

Why? The range is like 9 miles so it is hard to get the device out of range of the radio on the battery charge.
I agree. I get fairly bad range in my small city, even with line of site. I get serious lag at around 2km. In places with less interference, it only bumps up to around 2.75–3km. It’s advertised as having 10–15km range or something.

On the other hand, 3 batteries in a Mini 3 is pretty much guaranteed to keep it in the air for 90 minutes. It’s very impressive. Our custom quad manages more like 20m per flight with twice the battery capacity (though, twice the weight as well).
I suspect this is the silent majority at work. The vocal folks who have opinions don't like how GNOME largely just sits there and manages windows. People who do care show up on hacker news to complain about it being default.

I, as a technically inclined person who has many people in their life who are not, love GNOME as an opinionated desktop that works reasonably well for average users with no tweaking. I can install it, explain how the windows key works and then walk away from the computer for a decent amount of time.

Is it my daily driver? No. But I'm not going to inflict i3 on my loved ones. There's nothing gaslighting about not being the target demographic for something. Unlike macOS or Windows, if you don't like Gnome, use something else. Damn I'm getting tired of people acting like whatever Fedora or Ubuntu choose as the default is them trying to poison the FOSS well. They just need something that works by default and isn't a Windows clone (cough, KDE, cough). That's largely GNOME in 2023.

BUT, there are plenty of distros that do not use GNOME by default and there's always a way to remove it or install something else, because this is linux, after all. I wish we could objectively argue about desktop environments, but I think it may be like objectively discussing our favorite brand of underwear.
> Specifically, the claim suggests that...

Incorrect.

The claim is: "People who are not interested in truth because it doesn't fit their world-view, will never be interested in the truth, no matter what medium it comes via."

It is not a suggestion, it does not say "it is unlikely, it is an unequivocal assertion of fact.

> This can create a self-reinforcing cycle where the individual becomes increasingly resistant to new ideas and perspectives.

That's my point (about the thinking underlying the comment in question).

It's interesting how humans self-privilege themselves when applying epistemology - other people's claims must be actually true, but for one's own claims "close enough" is typically an adequate bar. And it is typically only the other person who needs to improve their thinking.

If this really takes off, I'd expect we'd see a further stratification of ISP offerings with QoS guarantees.

Currently, there's little incentive for ISPs to optimize for jitter, and yet they already often market their highest bandwidth offerings as "good for gaming."

Because at some point, arguing the same topic over and over and over is exhausting. The impact of greenhouse gases and climate change, for example, has been established as 'a thing' for my entire adult life. And yet people still want to argue about it even existing.
It boggles my mind when people seriously claim that if there’s a word “learning” in ML then it justifies OpenAI et al. ignoring basic copyright.

Training(2) software is to training(1) a human what firewall is to an actual wall made of fire, or what killing a process is to killing a human. The word is a synonym—more precisely, industry slang that happens to resemble a word used outside of the industry due to superficial similarity.

So if you wonder how training(2) software is different from training(1) a person, first understand that it’s a different word that never signified the same concept.

Subsequently, if you want to argue that training(1) should apply to software now, the onus would be on you to explain why and how so. You should be prepared to argue that software is sufficiently like a human—you know, that it understands ideas, has agency and free will, thinks like a human and has human-like consciousness, is capable not only of performing instructions given to it by its operator and act as a tool but to actually consider its actions and make own moral judgements, things like that.

And if you come up with satisfactory evidence in favor of all that, and have grounds to believe some software is enough like a human that training(1) applies to it, then why are you fighting to allow its operator to ignore copyright—and not for more important things, such as to free this human-like being from abuse by its operator and grant it basic human rights? If we imagine that software is like a person enough that “training” it means the same thing as training a human, we should be prepared to acknowledge all the implications that come with that.

The reality is that there are companies who would like us to both believe their software is human-like (so that we don’t sue them for rampant copyright abuse) but also not at all human (so that we don’t demand them to stop profiting from what would be slave labor). Naturally, if they pick one or the other they stand to lose from “a lot of money” to “entire business model”—but we should help them make that choice.
MSFT bought Linkedin, Github, OpenAI (sorta), Zenimax and tried to buy activision.

I've not actually measured the volume of various props - I can, and should! - but based on my memory I don't think it's quite as simple as "smaller props make more noise".

For FPV stuff, I've flown everything from 25mm to 9" (prop size). The ones that seemed quietest were 2.5"-3", very light, and designed for performance.

I think it has to do with the pitch of the noise and the "idle point" of your motors.

Smaller props turn faster, and the faster they're turning the higher the pitch of the noise they produce. At some point it borders on inaudible. Even if it's technically producing more decibels (It might be! I've not tested that.), it isn't as disruptive. Larger props turn slower, producing less noise and at a lower pitch.

"Idle point" is what I'm calling how much throttle you have to give it to hover. For my favorite 5" freestyle FPV quad, that's 18% (+/- 2% depending on temperature and humidity). It's acceptably quiet if I'm just hovering or slowly moving around, but sounds like an angry weedeater if I'm flying aggressively. The idle point for my 2.5"-3" quads is probably around 25%; my 7" long range build is 12%.

The more throttle you give it, the faster the props spin, the louder and higher pitched it is.

Right. But if you think Fourier transforms produce a function of ‘power spectral density over time’ you are on a road to misunderstanding. Or even if you think that it makes sense to talk about the Fourier transform ‘at a moment in time’.

The thing I am railing against here is the idea that you can just look at a spectrogram to grasp Fourier. You can’t. It is an advanced application of Fourier transforms that creates a visualization of power spectral density over time but it is not a (simple) Fourier transform of the underlying data.

Oh definitely, Sagan forbid someone cast doubt on the Consensus and the Science!
A lot of wisdom in that rant. I too have noticed the big gap is writers (who are going on strike it seems). I think we're all going to have to suffer through "stuff written by LLMs" for a while, but I really think that a studio that restructured their revenue sharing to focus more of the proceeds towards writers would find quite a bit of success in today's market.
Is that an actual license offered by FSF? I think most people use 2.0 because of the clause you're referring too, if 3.0-only exists you may be the only one who knows about it.
Presumably the government would be able to collect justified costs as well as the back taxes in selling the property. So, you don't pay your taxes, they seize and sell your home, then you pay for them to do all that from the proceeds. Maybe in state law there's an additional fine that's reasonable. Seems to be a deterrent.
this case is where the home was sold for more than the tax bill and the difference wasn't refunded to the owner. the situation is a bit more complicated but its not about protecting the whole value of the home from being seized.

No, the iAPX 432's successor was the Intel i960, which confusingly is completely unrelated to the i860.

By the way, it's interesting to read the iAPX 432 architecture paper along with the Case for RISC paper, since the 432 paper argues the exact opposite. Essentially, due to increasing software costs, you should put as much as possible into hardware. The semantic gap between hardware and programming languages should be minimized by implementing high-level things such as objects and garbage collection in hardware, which they call the Silicon Operating System. The instruction set should be as complete as possible, with lots of data types.

I should also mention that the 432's instructions were not byte-aligned: they were anywhere from 6 to 321 bits long. Just decoding the instructions took a complex chip, with a second chip to run them. This is the opposite of the RISC idea to make instruction decoding as simple as possible.

The paper says, "The iAPX 432 represents one of the most significant advances in computer architecture since the 1950s."

That does not make sense. When the Normans took over England over the decades they replaced the local culture and upset the language. It's not that England was "too weak" it's that the numbers meant the local culture would be absorbed. We can say the same about Taiwan after the '49 revolution and how it lost its Austronesian identity now it's mostly a Han culture.

Modernization has similar effects but locals can modernize in their own way rather than import wholesale a new culture (India vs China).
That's a pretty shocking conflict of interest if true.

The solution to Activision being horrible shouldn't be to let it get eaten by a marginally less horrible even more giant company.

It should be to break it into smaller pieces so that consumers have the flexibility to avoid the more toxic segments of the company and the market can decide whether their bad behavior matters or not.
I think there is a diminish of return on such foods. Fries are now pimped with bacon, cheese and all kinds of stuff. Sweet itmes are so over sweatened that if you eat a strawberry afterwards it tastes bland.

If we reduced the sweatiness of items we could enjoy them just as much as our senses adapt quite quickly. If I stop sugar for just 2 days and then eat something somewhat sweet it tastes very sweat.

It's a big issue with the food industry trying to outsweet each other because people are so used to the taste of sugar. Artificial sweeteners are also to blame for setting a hight expectation of sweetness in products.

> Consumer products mean low prices, the opposite of what America does well.

This is actually sad. Ford could drive down the cost of automobile down to $4000 while its workers could earn $5 an hour. America used to be the industrial behemoth what could manufacture and innovate better, faster, and cheaper. What's interesting is that there was a powerful country that would mock the US for producing things cheap but not necessarily crafty in late 19th century and early 20th century. Yeah, that was Britain. We all know how history went.

Yes, it's one a lot of societies are questioning recently, identity and how much we attribute to parts that might not make any sense but stem from tradition or false beliefs. A lot of it isn't purely geographical either, things like views on race can have a huge impact on how we label/self-label.

Another part of the identity equation people are questioning are things like pride, where we claim people as [group] because it makes us feel better (even if the individual does not claim that identity, whether it be the school they attended or where they were born, etc).

It's a lot of good discussion, but I feel due to political circumstances recently a lot of people have become very antagonistic towards Russian labels even if the individual themselves distances from the Russian administration, in the same way you can still be American if you hate the Biden administration.

Apple, Google and Amazon would seem to have a big advantage here in doing Family Accounts.

How is it immaterial to build twice as many nuclear power plants as necessary instead of using energy storage? You'd have to believe battery storage is way more expensive than an idle nuclear plant. But that's just not the case. The real killer in that comparison is that people really don't want to live near a nuclear plant and in any case, regulation and such politics makes it hard or impossible to scale up nuclear power in that way.

> arguing the same topic over and over and over is exhausting

Is that, by itself, a good enough reason to censor people?

Nobody is forcing anybody to argue.
That's not how accounting works. Revenues are not recognized until they are earned. It doesn't count as revenue until it's either used (someone buys a coffee) or it's deemed likely to never be redeemed.

The latter calculation is likely an aggregate across all cards, not based on a per-card level prediction.

Breakage refers to the portion of gift card balances that remains unspent by customers, which is eventually recognized as revenue by the issuing company. It is calculated based on historical redemption patterns and the probability that a gift card will never be used. The recognition of breakage revenue, however, doesn't affect a customer's ability to use an unexpired gift card. The card's value remains intact and can still be redeemed for goods or services, regardless of the breakage revenue recognition by the company.
At a previous SaaS startup I worked for, we stored a bunch of clients' documents somewhere on e.g. example.com/documents - which included confidential items like checks and contracts. Customers would typically opt-out of requiring authentication for a lot of these documents so they could share them with others.

I noticed that when you searched for the company on Bing, you would actually see a bunch of these documents, despite nothing linking to it!

Of course I updated the robots.txt and yelled at leadership for the gaping security hole, but I was very surprised to see that Microsoft would send every link you crawled back to Bing to index. Distributed web crawling!
