I grew up in a literal christian cult, but didn’t interpret it that way at all.

The themes hinted at in the trailer seem like the core existential ideas/problems that humans have been engaging with across cultures and religions since time immemorial.

The idea of a gray faceless “other” is present in christianity, but is a constant across religions and cultures. It’s also at the center of politics.

I suspect that what each person sees in this game will largely depend on the cultural context from which they experience it.

I’m curious about whether the way this is presented in game will serve to provoke thoughtful reflection, or will reinforce bad ideas about the inevitability of “otherness”.
Modularity is the key concept here.
I have thought about just buying the crucial center-section of Point65 Mercury and printing the other parts as needed.

Nice reference. I have had similar problems when travelling to the UK for large events. Whenever I go over for an Arsenal match (it still hurts, thank you) I have trouble just using my phone anywhere near the stadium. I haven't had that issue with similarly large events here in Dublin, so maybe we don't experience as much cell congestion.

With regard to 5G in Dublin, though, the performance has been poor. When we moved into a new apartment, a 5G router was my only option for a few months. Although I purportedly had a 5G connection, according to the router, it never worked well for video meetings or anything other than burst downloads of files.
Ugh, cant he just come out and say he feels the company is better off without them? Why does it always need to be a difficult decision.

Literally every company is doing the same right now. It seems like the decision was quite simple.
Generally agree.

There is a case for writing down the stuff you learned though (into your notebook, app, zettelkasten, whatever). When I try to note down a concept I learned, I feel like sort of explaining it to myself. And often, I will quickly discover holes in my understanding. A good note-taking software can also point out connections to other stuff (mostly in the form of other notes) I maybe wouldn't have made. Maybe others don't need that, but I am bad at making connections.

I get that having a single model that you can artificially differentiate to multiple product lines is efficient for the manufacturer, and not unprecedented: CPU manufacturers do it all the time. Why does it rub me wrong?

I guess it is in part that there is a monthly subscription model that is being pushed, for faster acceleration, but also for seat warmers. And that irks me in the sense that it alters what it means to own a vehicle. It also leads me to think that they will try to crack down on aftermarket mods: If all that keeps your car slow is a chip, replace the chip (i know, easier said than done these days). Its also that it means maintaining a constant relationship with a company. Right now, I buy a car, I'm pretty much done with them, but this way its one more account that takes money out of my bank.
I imagine things like this are underway: https://github.com/jjuliano/aifiles

Honestly I think it's actually a pretty fantastic development if that's the direction. I don't use Dropbox much, nor have I used aifiles (due to sending all of your data to OpenAI) - but the idea of being able to not have to manually and tediously look over terabytes of files to completely reorganize all of your files into a better directory hierarchy, and tag each files with meaningful labels, etc sounds phenomenal.

Obviously there are some implementation details for this to be not awful - for example: 1) only local models for local data, 2) making the changes on e.g. ZFS (to allow rollback) or as some type of optional 'overlay' view to switch back and forth from the original to ai-organized, etc. and 3) having thresholds and logic for what may be considered 'duplicates' to be removed, and how to better compress data

As for the de-duplication and processing: this could be very good for dropbox in that, e.g. if a person wants to completely re-encode all of their image files or video files with AV1, the resulting data could be cut in half or more - which saves Dropbox storage space. After which, neural perceptual hashing could be done on all of the files and a threshold of similarity could do de-duplication on a perceptual basis (for example, keep the bigger size file that is 99% similar to a 2x downsized version, and re-encode it). User preference to keep things like tiff files completely intact or any other lossless encoding of their choosing could be good options as well

There's definitely a strange disparity between the computation cost for deploying a decent model to do this compared to the storage cost - but if a (perhaps even non-LLM!) small model is created to be able to plow through data at fast rates could be deployed it may make sense.

Or perhaps the type of semantic compression that LLMs do are of interest for making a new type of lossy compression algorithm of which Dropbox is interested.
It is certainly interesting that even the largest LLMs we are aware of contain only a few hundred GBs of weights, but have information on various topics from Pokemon to electric engineering, to cellular biology, to cake decorating - yet one instance of the best compressed pubmed database I can think of (only containing the small fraction of cell bio and med part of the LLM - perhaps 2% of it) is like 60GB with Zstd compressed (yes, yes, I know lossy vs lossless - but still) - which would be probably more like 1/2 or 1/4 of a typical SoTA LLM. So clearly lossy compression via including semantic info is hugely beneficial over typical lossy compression techniques (and perhaps one could argue, what often lossy compression algorithms try to model in the first place, in a very rudimentary way).
Paywalled, but let me guess: Wealthy buyers from China pouring money into Singapore real estate and pricing out locals. Vancouver had a similar phenomenon, which took years to address:

The latest batch of data on empty homes in British Columbia, and the taxes levied on them, offer insight into what first became a hot issue in the mid-2010s, when the housing market went ballistic and there was a widespread feeling that many homes were left vacant by overseas owners, as locals struggled to afford a place to live.

The new B.C. data lands at a relevant national moment: The federal government, as of Jan. 1, is bringing in a 1 per cent tax on “non-resident, non-Canadian owners of vacant, underused housing” – including foreign-owned vacant land in big cities. The City of Toronto also plans to start taxing vacant homes in 2022. Like the original B.C. taxes, these moves aim to increase rental housing supply, and lower rental prices, by penalizing investors who don’t rent out their properties.

Maybe on the online degree, or puffed of MBA level, but I saw more than a few undergrads flunk out in the past couple of years. I live near a big Uni in Canada, and have previously lived near large state schools in the US, and I can't see this softening.

Maybe in the gen-ed soft science stuff like English or History, but math is math; you either get an answer or you don't. Ditto for many engineering / STEM fields -- the code compiles and runs, or doesn't; nothing to soften.
This gathers data, but doesn't exactly improve pedestrian safety. Something has to be done using that data for that to happen. Very cool though and should save tax payers money with this cheap solution.

> I’m not convinced that outsourcing it to private enterprise is bad.

Counterpoint:

In every war that involves a substantial conventional component, there has been a huge ammunition shortage. Even though people know this, the phenomenon still exists.

Private industry isn't going to maintain huge "burst" capacity. It's simply completely uneconomical.

It's possible that a sort of public-private partnership could exist where the government pays companies to maintain huge excess capacity, but I don't really see a substantial difference between that and the government just owning everything.

And it's important that this excess capacity gets used often, otherwise there's a big risk that it won't work when it's eventually called upon.

Which isn't to say that there's no place for private enterprise to supply ammunition to the government. Just that it probably shouldn't be the only source.
I wrote an app for reviewing and highlighting websites and most computer documents. I can drag the highlights into a built-in outliner and organize and comment them there. I can drag relevant highlights into a built-in report outliner where I can write the corresponding section of the final report. I knew I wanted it. I thought others would too. I was wrong on that. Sigh! I guess I built it just for myself after all.
This is not fact checked. But I have heard that TSMC's factories have explosives installed in the buildings to self destroy if China invades.

China needs to deactivate or sabotage the explosives before any invasion. Even in that case, I am sure there is a plan B to nuke the factories.

Guess: Most folks on HN realize that "the military", in the sense of "the current general and admirals", have damn little influence over these outsourcing, single-sourcing, etc. decisions.

What I'm really shocked by is that Dropbox had 3000 employees! I'd have guessed the number to be between 500-1000. It's not that they come up with new products/features at a fast pace. What do 3000 people do there?
Marketing to developers is also decidedly different than for non devs. We've been baited and switched, and screwed over a million times (thanks Google). It takes a lot of trust building to get me to trust any organization.

First of all if you are going to say that my remark is "analogous" to a lie, and that I "intentionally" mislead people in the course of bicycle infrastructure advocacy, then my reply is that you are analogous to a guy who needs to intentionally fuck off. Where the hell do you get off saying something like that about me?

Secondly, there is a massive latent demand for cycling infrastructure in highly populated places that are suitable for cycling. That there are other places unsuitable for cycling is irrelevant. Another thing we often say on this topic is there are no transportation solutions to land use problems. But in America even when the development pattern is reasonable the infrastructure for cycling still doesn't exist. The dangerous, unpleasant, and inconvenient scattered bike lanes that we have in most American cities are acceptable to < 1% of potential cyclists, which is why the bicycle mode share in most American cities is << 1%.
> My point was that nobody has ever used household for two houses. Ever. If you can find a place that has been done, I'd be swayed. But I have never ever seen that.

Then maybe you should have spent some time looking before so strongly asserting something that is flat out wrong. Go look at some definitions. There are plenty of legal definitions, in addition to dictionary ones, that clearly contradict your take.

The key element is shared residency and living expenses. The number of homes owned is not relevant.

The purpose of the military is not to be an effective fighting force. That is, at most, a happy side effect. The purpose is to shovel as much public money as possible into the private companies comprising the military industrial complex.

Cost cutting combined with mismanagement at work here. As the saying goes - two is one, one is none…

It would make sense to pay for at least 3 or more of these to be open (privately or military operated) at any given time. Hopefully the military have a plan for a rapid buildup in case of an acute need.
Nope. To me it felt like a mess of the most overrated bullshit that mattered only to people who where on the outside of this movement.

By adaptating and actually growing their own market, I think they have preserved the traditions of their craft better than anyone else, by keeping them viable while maintaining their standards.

> Accessibility could be fixed easily if there would be a web accessibility API

It does have one. The DOM is the web accessibility API. A really big point of the DOM is that you don't get to make multiple interfaces, you have to make one interface that works for everyone, which forces you to provide some degree of feature parity between those interfaces.

The web accessibility API is "you have to describe your interface to us in pure text, because that format is more likely to be accessible."

Not the person you're responding to, but that is one of the reasonable limitations of P=NP algorithm.

Many NP-hard problems tend not to be NP-hard on "average"; that is, reasonable heuristics can usually find you the correct answer. But there are certain structures that are (seemingly) difficult to solve. If you can exclude these structures by construction, the problem is in P; otherwise it's NP-hard. Boolean satisfiability is a good example here.

It also turns out from combinatorics that you can sometimes force necessary order on a structure by embedding it in larger space--sheer size imposes a structure of its own. Probably the most well-known example of this is the L=SL proof (admittedly, not generally well-known), where you can guarantee a walk that will visit all connected nodes of a graph without saving any history of nodes you've visited. Just replace every node with a new graph that is of size at least (IIRC) 3^65536. It's a constant factor, even if the constant is larger than the volume of the universe measured in Planck lengths.
