Activision selling Blizzard to Microsoft would be a deal I could get behind!

On the other hand, as a Mac gamer, maybe it wouldn't be so great? Blizzard have been great at Mac support, with all their titles - except Overwatch - being available on Mac since day 1. But Microsoft hardly releases anything for Mac now days.
Sadly we are probably too late now. Need to dissect them into multiple entities (and maybe create more jobs) earlier.

If that is genuinely true, then the British economy has a BIG problem that it needs to resolve. Alongside all the others, of course.

AI gone crazy.
Why normalize? Go even further and use a universal relation / Entity-Attribute-Value pattern. One table with columns entity_id, type = assert|retract, key, value

Essentially, use SQL as an immutable key-value store and use views for queries.
Oh please stop with this meaningless fear mongering. AI is a (not so good) tool.

Yes it can write very short snippets that often make sense, but in no way can understand requirements, do debugging or maintain existing code.

Cloud gaming is still fundamentally not a great experience.

Personally I disagree. Cloud gaming on Game Pass is a fantastic deal and quite frankly the Xbox's killer feature
France didn't decarbonize deliberately and they did it 50 years ago decades before anybody paid any attention to global warming.

Meanwhile theyre becoming progressively more aware of the extreme costs of staying nuclear - costs they kept halfway reasonable by neglecting maintenance which is now biting them back.

We don't know each other but you can add me to the list. First, I don't use a Mac, second I use Firefox. That means that if it works for me it should work for everybody else. Proof is that customers don't complain with me.
Yeah I get where you're coming from. The daemon is pretty sweet in reducing build times, but I wish there was some easy way of informing it of your intent.

If you're just a casual drive-by person compiling some code, then spawning a gradle daemon is just silly.

If you're actively developing on a codebase, not having a gradle daemon will waste a lot of time waiting on builds that could be instant.

I forgot to mention in the sibling comment:

> in a Grid which draws like 50.

Installed wind capacity in Germany is 65GW. Seems to be much higher than what grid demands.

And yet, on April 15th it was producing only 5% of that. And solar was producing zero.

Guess where the power to cover that came from?

Even today on a reasonably windy day (at least in Hamburg where I am right now) wind production is at 20% capacity, solar at 36 capacity.

Busy burning coal for 21% of electricity even on a windy day.

One of the significant impacts of the mid-day meal program on local economies is the creation of employment opportunities. The scheme requires a considerable amount of manpower for cooking, serving, and cleaning, which has led to jobs in local communities.
Neat experiment, but I don't see how this is practical. Besides that, the other parts on leather goods usually fail first.

I still wear my leather jacket that I bought 20+ years ago when I started riding motorcycles. I've replaced the liner but the leather is perfect.
It happened at GlobalSwitch Clichy, near Paris. From what I gathered from a french forum[1], it started with a flood and then a fire. No rooms have been affected, apparently.

Well, 1/2 is better than 0/2. At least in this context.

Maybe they'll get Sony sorted out too at some point.
Typically it means gaming workloads rendered in the cloud, which artificially appears popular at the moment because it comes bundled with game subscription services such as Playstation Plus and Xbox Game Pass - but as Stadia's failure would seem to indicate, nobody wants to pay for a dedicated cloud gaming service. Doesn't seem like a profitable sector of the market.

Nonetheless, my point was that cloud gaming is probably the least concerning part of the merger.
“The FAA is providing oversight to ensure SpaceX complies with its FAA-approved mishap investigation plan and other regulatory requirements,” a spokesperson told Quartz. “The FAA will review, and must approve, the final report before the mishap investigation can be closed.”

Separately

Environmental engineers and advocates are concerned the ash- and sand-like particulate matter could hurt people’s respiratory health, and could irreparably harm endangered species in the area.

Separately

Because they are still gathering information, the FAA and the Texas regional office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were not able to answer questions yet about any environmental impacts of the Thursday launch. SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment.

However, the FAA told CNBC via e-mail that the explosion activated something called an “anomaly response plan,” which is part of a 2022 Programmatic Environmental Assessment completed by the company along with state and federal agencies, and that SpaceX has additional “environmental mitigations” they must complete before launching again. The plan “was triggered by debris entering adjacent properties,” the FAA noted.

It's very bad if a language community KNOWS something is very bad and they still allow that to be valid syntax. Like `if (x) break;` in Java/C/C++. It's VERY BAD.

Not fixing your language is a big red flag.
Difference is there's not a car I can buy for $2,000 that's just as good (and maybe identical) as the $20,000 car in all aspects.

They're not, but there's also a max length at play. The current headline right on the 80 character limit.

If length is longer, you're supposed to condense it as truthfully to the original as possible.
Larger Scratch projects have bogged down for me because there's so much panning left and right. I don't know that it'll work, but I have a small hope that some form of AR will actually make a difference with these types of visual UIs.

That is not how you keep costs reasonable. You're just postponing them until they become unreasonable.

There's a lot of debate going on about whether training AI on such data is copyright infringement or not.

This is of course _immediately_ important, as a pressing legal question, but also longer-term less interesting. The interesting question, IMHO, is whether we should amend copyright to deal with this! As I read it, the spirit of copyright is to give creators safeguards against their work being misused, so they aren't cagey about sharing it, in limited contexts. The public has some, limited, rights to such published work, in return.

The question is, should we allow people to publish their work, while also disagreeing to it being used for AI training. I think, resoundingly, yes. The constructs of copyright just don't make sense in a world where a machine can perfectly recreate the human skill, if only it can consume all of its data.

As a painter, say, it won't bother me that someone might use my paintings to learn, over the course of many years, and maybe even surpass my current level of skill - by the time they do I will be either better, or retired. But if a machine can do this over weeks or months and take my job away, sure I won't like it.

The alternative IMHO is just more paywalls, as people realise they don't want to be unpaid AI trainers and labellers.
Tailwind comes with a pretty nice base stylesheet that includes a number of browser tweaks and fixes.

Name one system that accepts passkeys and allows you to setup two of them. as is the recommended best practice everywhere.

even OTP tokens generators goes to great lengths to give a false sense o security that their seed is unique simply by hiding it from the user UI. Google authenticator will happily save the seed and seed tokens in their cloud and allow you to restore. all while still hiding it from the user.

if you have twenty accounts on your OTP, and get a new phone, you have to log in on each site/product. Disable and re-enable 2fa. That's some 2~5min each.

back to passkeys... do you think this will last when google is getting tons of spam on gmail because microsoft is not careful on their spam bot protection? likely google will just shutdown the integration and demand you use google or apple for gmail. This will happen all over all the time.
Sex is binary though. We know this because there's no intermediate type of gamete between sperm and egg.

What significant purchases has Sony done though in the gaming space? IIRC it was mostly smaller game development studios, not the (until quite recently at least) largest game publisher in the world.

Would be nice if the regulator sets the competition rules such that IBM's open POWER architecture is available in the market at this price point and packaging for comparison to Raspberry Pi 4, and re-packaging with car battery size casing for industrial use. Traffic light control boxes have multiplied over the years on the streets going against the trend of miniaturization of parts for control and storage density. Opportunity for innovation or reinvention.
This list conceptually applies to just about any RDBMS. NOTIFY is incredibly powerful and when used prudently, can be a fantastic solution to some business problems.
In my opinion, it is only growing because it is bundled with popular subscription services like Game Pass. I don't think the sector has it's own legs to stand on, but time will tell.
Most of those are Electron, not PWAs. PWAs are very rare
Absolutely, it feels like every industry is having a hard time, so focusing on tech seems to be nothing more than clickbait.
XML is just verbose, after that it's pretty simple. It's all declarative, there's no code execution during build time that you have to keep in mind to build a mental model of what is actually executing, you read the XML, check the steps and configurations and can understand completely what's being executed.

I like Kotlin, I don't like build tools that allow general computing during runtime where I will have to debug build code to understand what exactly has failed. Declarative tools are much better to reason about for most infrastructure tasks.
>If length is longer, you're supposed to condense it as truthfully to the original as possible.

But there are ways to do that not buy leaving out literally the most important word.

They are not concerned about the retail or digitial sales of games. They are concerned about the market share of GamePass and streaming market where after Google left pretty much only MS and Nvidia Geforce remained.
Not to turn this into a Tesla thread too much, but there are hundreds of unique trips on YouTube that are more impressive than the Los Altos Hills footage. From an outsider perspective Tesla are the clear leader here on the technology. But the others seem to have commercialised quicker with a more limited scope.

I'm not familiar with sail vocabulary in English, but in Portuguese there is only downwind (sotavento) and upwind (barlavento). Functionally you don't need the other two, so I imagine it's similar in English.

Diablo 4 won't be released on Mac either. I feel the days of Blizzard being a champion for Mac gaming have ended. They will continue to support it in WoW and the other legacy titles they continue to update.

I'd be surprised, merger or not, if they ever release any of their new AAA titles on Mac again.

Where should people have this discussion?

Most comments on HN on this topic that veer outside of a narrow range of acceptable thoughts, even from those people that generally support this topic, are flagged and killed.

It's very hard for anybody to be persuaded about any set of ideas where you see a large part of the discussion shut down.

I'd be surprised if my comment that doesn't even weigh in on this topic, but merely voices support for discussion to expand mutual empathy, isn't similarly downvoted.

Do you feel like your ability to produce correct output with GPT improved with practice? If so, then eventually you might reach a point where you get 99.99% accuracy with it, and this can easily 10x your productivity.
I don’t see anything in that met analysis relating to genetics. This is far more likely to be as a result of systemic racism in your country affecting outcomes from early learning onwards.

While it is not within the remit of the Bundestag to build reactors in Scandinavia, it looks like things might be heading in that direction anyway: https://www.ft.com/content/f55b69a4-ee37-4182-88bb-3a8dec93b...

(and of course the last time Germany tried to use Norway to help build a nuclear reactor, the Allies blew it up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_heavy_water_sabotage )

I do think lots of things might be feasible for European energy, but they all cost money, and in the case of Germany the lignite lobby has been far better at not getting shut down by environmentalists despite doing a lot more damage.
Basically every company is seeing a revenue decline in 2023 compared to last year. Even Apple reported a revenue decline of 5%. Meanwhile Microsoft is showing about 10% revenue growth in almost all their products, and the take-away is that we should see this as mediocre?
Good point. Which makes me wonder why Netflix pushed back against EU regulation that would put content origin quotas [1]. They should be lobbying for that, as they would have to do very little (compared e.g. to Disney+ or Amazon) to be compliant.

To me this says it's a subsidized loss leader and will get a whole lot crappier once Microsoft has a dominant position.

What's annoying is that GeForce Now could be much better if publishers stopped blocking their games from appearing there under dubious legal pretense: https://www.ign.com/articles/activision-blizzard-pulls-games...
When companies are so big that operate in multitude of markets, yes, and depending on how many and the size of those disapproving the merger gets cancelled or parts of the business split, accommodations for those disapproving and so on.

Which is why such mergers take a long time.

Now, being both based in the US, the US could say no and it would not happen and no need for any other regulator to consider the merger.
LAION just adds metadata to the publicly available content. It does not have the content. Sending them a legal take-down request would use their resources for a false claim, so it makes sense for them to seek damages.

Not sure if it is ethical or not, but it technically makes sense, this is all I'm saying.

I have used it on my Series X and it's just not as good as playing it locally. I've got it hooked up to a 4K120Hz TV that supports VRR and ALLM, and the exeprience over the cloud will never be as good. It's very convenient that I don't have to download 50GB to play a game, but if it's a game I want to actually play, the 50GB is worth it.

I also have a PS5 with the PS+ Premium package, and their cloud offering is even worse.
How do we know this? Both companies are just as untrustworthy.
Fair assessment, but I still think that is tangentially related at best - and only relevant to the cloud due to a bundled subscription.
What's in question is simply a dataset with links to the images, with associated alt tags. The copyright owner came along and complained that they were violating their copyright. LAION was not.

It's not an abhorrent response, it's what should be an acceptable response to having to deal with bullshit legal threats from ignorant people. If the copyright owner doesn't want their images linked to, they should take them down from the web or perform such gymnastics such as restricting their serving to their own web server that refuses to serve the images unless certain conditions are met (an HTTP referrer match, a username/password is required, etc.)
That's not how it works. Companies with global presence (like these 2) need to have regulatory permission in every jurisdiction where they operate. If a jurisdiction forbids the merger then they would no longer be able to operate there.

Consequently any regulator in charge of a sufficiently important market has de-facto veto power globally.

Platform-exclusive titles have been around for as long as games consoles, that's not going to change.

It's annoying that so many great Nintendo games are only available for Switch, and I can't run them at 4k/60fps+ on PC or higher-end console. But that's just how things are. And at the end of they day, they're unimportant entertainment products, we're not talking about monopolies/oligopolies controlling something important.

Did you have a growth business that’s going to be 50% bigger in 10 years? A few years ago that would sound not-amazing but reasonable. Today that’s nothing. You can get that kind of returns from bonds with like zero risk.
