I really wish we could have a different kind of competition in gaming (and some other sectors).

I miss the good old days when everything was on Steam. I wish there was some middle ground between everyone paying 30% to Valve and running 10 launchers at once. And now, with subscription models making their way in, it even more closely resembles the development of Netflix. There should be an industry standard launcher, just as there should be an industry standard cloud gaming standard. As it is now, only one of them is really usable with reasonable latency where I live, and it lacks a lot of games because NVIDIA refused to put their foot down on "we just provide a computer, not a platform".

This competition is parallel worlds that pretend their competitors do not exist and where customer choice doesn't exist (unless you're really not picky about what to play).

Do you have any good sources of reading for the eSIM standard with regards to this?

Projects like Ukama make it look easy to issue your own eSIMs but I don't understand whether it's something they provide as a service to their users through a central authority or if it's actually a proper roll-your-own system.
>The obvious analog is facial recognition, deemed privacy violating by laws and courts in multiple jurisdictions, vs a human doing the same thing manually.

It was deemed "privacy violating" under specific privacy laws within those jurisdictions.

i.e. go pass a law amending copyright law if you think so. there's no substantial reproduction here, in the context of stable diffusion, until there is, and then yeah in that instance it's probably a copyright violation, like a substantial reproduction made by a human would be. but training itself, probably not. but yes, there have been no rulings on it in this context.
I think this is a little far fetched as a scenario.

Under which assumptions should Google be forced to "peer into accounts a user has with other services"?

This is not only not enforceable, it would be illegal.

Companies can not be enlisted to do such things governmental agencies are doing. How should a company decide what to look for? Google is not the police and can not be made an investigator just-for-fun. FBI's search engine?!

Also, you need the first factor. Do you expect Google would also send the "password reset"-request, reset the password, use your 2nd factor... Just to be nice to the authorities?

Wild theory if you ask me...
Thank $deity someone did. Microsoft owning both the biggest platforms and the biggest publishers is a glaring example of what anti-trust regulations should exist to prevent.

I can't speak for the UK, but in the US, there are plenty of industries where the creator of a product is not also allowed to be the distributor of the product.

Movie companies aren't allowed to own theaters. In most states, auto makers aren't allowed to own dealerships. Beer companies aren't allowed to own bars. The list goes on.
> the "push" format is the problem

I mean it only worked for email since the dawn of the internet. :P

But ActivityPub has no concept of "online" for actors, the activities that have an actor in their recipients list will end up in their inbox no matter what.
The new svh (smallest vertical height) units will help you with that problem on mobile, Firefox will require a fallback vh though.
"modern, idiomatic, as-God-intended method of Gradle usage"

Which changes literally every release, and half of my gradle tasks (already cobbled-together voodoo incantations) for shaded jars, dependency copying, integration tests, etc ... as in common tasks for build systems ... breaks.

That said, building is HARD, and man is it HARD to pick up the nuances. Really there should be a massive standard feature set for build frameworks that every build framework has to document an example of.

Ant was too XML-y, and too disorganized. Then came Maven (still XML-y) but way too rigid and limited. Then came gradle, which had potential, but largely is a failure.

Gradle is well supported by IntelliJ. That's why it's the choice currently. I tried IntelliJ with Maven and it failed with some basic stuff, so it's gradle or ... nothing.

The caveat, again, is that, like languages, there are two types of build systems: those you complain about (because you use them) and those that aren't used at all.

I have not used bazel, pants, or any of the newer build frameworks. Make is both zealously pushed by neckbeards, but curiously used almost nowhere outside of C (a bad sign) and I've read really good "make sucks because" posts.

It speaks to the general constant cycle of suck in software that building code, something that we've done in software for a half-century plus, has very little to show in the way of evolution and growth.

But that's because there is nobody that has proper economic investment incentives. Even google probably underfunds Bazel.

I almost wonder why google and those places don't have two groups / virtual companies that compete to be the build system based on project usage (I also wonder why large companies with a dozen datacenters don't have them compete against each other internally for customers / project funny money).
Learning is all about using your current knowledge and understanding to refine and augment those mental models.

Be aware that many people don't watch videos to learn, they watch to be entertained. They think that they are learning, but really they are just watching animations. In the end, they can't actually do any of the math. They haven't actually learned anything. In the same vein, that's why TED talks are so popular. It's like eating dessert... all sugar and no nutrients.

I'm not saying that 3b1b videos aren't instructional, but rather that they are so well put together that they can satisfy the entertainment-seekers while still offering meaningful content.

The question is, then, why don't you get anything out of the videos? That brings us back to the problem of mental models of understanding.

If someone teaches a subject from a completely different perspective, it may be that it confuses you as your brain tries to harmonize the two conflicting mental models, and the video moves along too quickly for you to be able to benefit from the realignment.

This is not an attack on you, btw. In fact, I believe that this realization helped me a lot as an educator to be patient when teaching. Furthermore, it does not mean that your initial understanding is wrong, but that it is a different perspective than that which is being presented by the instructor.

Alternatively, it may be that the videos move through a particular concept too quickly. I find this is an issue, too. Once I understand something new, I like to almost daydream about the concept, exploring it mentally so that I understand it from a lot of different angles. I think of it in different situations and to see if my intuitions make sense, and if they don't I ask for clarifications. You can't do that when watching a video because it doesn't stop to answer your questions.

I like 3b1b videos. Some of them I can binge on all day simply because they "click" and make sense. Others I have had to spend days (or weeks) thinking about in order to digest and understand the perspective that Grant is trying to convey. They are definitely high value and I greatly appreciate Grant's work, but I definitely have to work, too, in order to benefit from some of them.
Is it? I haven’t seen any controversy around it, just a gradual shift to recommendations for more protein and fat vs less carbs.
Every device manufacturer tends to fib a bit on battery life vs. real world, however, 45 mins of flight time is impressive. Even if its 30-35 mins fully maxed out that can give you a lot of time to creat content and explore
I think a lot of people are only holding their accounts because someone they love use it for access. These people would probably cancel it first thing, if their loved ones can not use it.

Yarr matey, one way do be not parting ways with coin for said services, instead making a more... equitable re-appropriation
Ha nice idea! Perhaps I can make it configurable like you are saying!
Norway and Sweden has historically been relatively chill as far as neighbor relations go.

Now Sweden and Denmark on the other hand hasn't gotten along all too well historically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dano-Swedish_War
That's right, plants which don't run don't produce emissions. But they don't produce energy either.

But read the article and look at 2020-2022: coal energy generation increased while nuclear decreased:

This is a situation incompatible with a policy of increasing safety. Increasing safety means shutting down unsafe sources while keeping or rolling out safe sources, which is the opposite of the short-term trend. So the short-term policy goal was something other than safety.
Much the same experience for me, although sans tier-1 lol. He's clearly gifted, for a long time I think wrongly assumed everyone who makes content is not.
If only such a statement could be made about their horrible mobile apps needed to fly these drones.
Really looking forward to this one..
> You don't need to buy Activision for that to happen. Netflix hasn't bought Universal or MGM. They purchase the rights to offer movies on their platform and at the same time produce their own content via their own production.

I think Blizzard infamously refused to release their games on any other online distribution platform besides their in-house battle.net launcher. Don't know how it is with other Activision titles, but the only way to get Diablo 4 in MS library of games is apparently to buy the whole company.
Libsyn has a great web interface. Anchor FM is has an ok one.
They can run all the models in the world but it only takes one misunderstood factor to underestimate the fallout. I think they want the other streaming services to follow suit (like Apple with the AUX) but if the others dont bite, Netflix screwed themselves. Most of their users feel betrayed at a time where competition is more than ever. You dont have to be smart to understand its not a good move.
Implementing Wc -l in a Browser
Admittedly I was coming in with the same perspective as OP so I wasn’t aware you could smoothly play triple A titles via streaming. No catch, no hang ups?
Wouldn’t they be kind of obvious targets too?
I use MicroOS (https://microos.opensuse.org/), to keep the base operating system clean you'd install helper tools for constructing containers in a container... so two levels of containers would be very helpful
The number of movies I wanted to watch in the last few months that where actually available anywhere on streaming was devastatingly low. Some where available, but only dubbed (which I don't watch), most where not. Not even to buy.

So I now either go into my basement and look for the BluRay/DVD like twenty years ago or ... :)
>non-existent on pc

Hmmmmmmmm........
What about latency, though. Fortnite may be possible but Quake or StarCraft? Sure, on the lowest of the lowest of tiers. People used to say 24 fps was great, too. Only took us 20 years for the masses to catch up.

Anything below 120 feels sluggish to me. At 60 fps local, I move my mouse and the picture is changed after what feels like an eternity. Can't imagine cloud rendered 60 being better. In fact, it's guaranteed to be worse.
Naah, most of the times its that management doesn't want to pay the migration cost. They will keep using a system till it stops producing value, or till adding new things is profitable. They can't give a damn about day to day or what's cool/elegant/maintainable because they don't interact with the innards, ever. These decisions are made with a single equation, if migration cost > new feature cost + maintenance, they don't want to migrate.

Edit: The maintenance isn't a long term view btw. They are not looking at a 5-6 year window where the migration cost slowly pays off. They are worried about optimizing the next quarter.

Let's be honest. The majority of the cheerleading, at least in the past, was coming from non-owners. So it's fair to hear criticism from non-owners too. Can't tell you how many times I had someone tell me Tesla was perfect and all my experiences were invalid, when they didn't actually own a Tesla while I've owned two of them.
>I suspect that we'll be seeing some fairly large corporate Mastodon servers (like...say...Twitter). These are likely to be popular.

Aren't the most popular ones already ran by companies?

As far as I can see from the data, the most popular is mastodon.social (ran by Mastodon gGmbH), followed by Pawoo (Russell Co., Ltd / formerly Pixiv Co., Ltd), mstdn.jp (Sujitech, LLC), baraag.net (independent) and mastodon.cloud (Sujitech, LLC).
I can't help but draw parallels to Mastodon and the Year of Linux on the desktop. There was no way Mastodon was ever going to succeed due to the network effects.

Similar stories exist for every single of the big tech companies.
Short seasons are perfectly valid and have existed since before Netflix. I remember watching British TV shows in which a season consisted of six half-hour episodes, and feeling that more (and more interesting) things had happened in that time frame than a USA season of 24 one-hour episodes.

These days that’s even more of a plus. When someone recommends something to watch the first thing I check is how many seasons it’s up to, then the number of episodes, then the runtime. Shows with too many seasons of too many too long episodes are immediately ignored.
I highly doubt that Microsoft is going to go nuclear to acquire ABK. I don't think this merger is do or die for them. It would also do irreparable harm to their brands, including the UK Xbox owners who would no longer be able to play their games!
Reminds me of when Switzerland accidentally invaded Liechtenstein. A diplomatic snafu solved with a bottle of wine.

We're still figuring out what will be in InfluxDB 3.0 open source. For now we're focused on our cloud offering where we can iterate and debug more quickly. We expect that the open source will fill a different need than the cloud product, but we're still not sure. The Clustered and Edge products mentioned will be commercial offerings.
There's a lot more to a datacenter building than just the servers sitting on racks. In particular here there was a fire in the power-serving infrastructure (caused by the flood presumably). So nearly all of those servers could be totally fine, just off, but if the power distribution network in the building is literally fried, that's gonna take a long time to fix.
Personally I found German texts on the Kindle invaluable, with the auto dictionary lookup.

Erich Kaestner and Hans Fallada were my favourites as they used an easy/journalistic style.
Realistically the competition is "not buying it." Nothing in o365 is business critical until you buy into the Microsoft world and make them so. They have solid competitors in every vertical and "but <alternative> isn't as good" is overblown since outside of Office and managing Windows (which is a problem of your own making) they're not best-in-class for much. People vastly prefer Dropbox and Slack when it's on offer. Their offerings are attractive because they're good enough and cheap. If you don't buy into overbearing Windows IT administration world, pick any other email provider, and buy Office licenses ad-hoc for people who care and everyone else gets LibreOffice you can just pretend they don't exist.

Unless you go out of your way to buy cheap laptops the difference between macbooks and your favorite dell business longitude isn't as bad as you think.
Likely not. It’s also not Google’s first dc flood/water intrusion causing a GCP incident.
Xbox's role in the gaming industry has, funny enough, very little to do with Xbox itself. It's their competitive presence that has kept Playstation from stagnating and making terrible decisions. You can see this extremely clearly when the 360 was outselling the PS3 and Playstation/Sony made plenty of management changes to shift directions.

Can you describe the "bricking" a bit more closely? The only problem you've described is having to shift to park before you can start the car, with the brake engaged, which is fairly common, and hardly sounds like your car is bricked.

I'm hoping to pick up a Volt or other hybrid, because I don't have a garage I can charge an EV in, but not if they're prone to actual bricking.
I think I agree, but would this logic apply to Nintendo in the mid-80's? I think that (at least in the United States), the NES was probably the biggest game console, and Nintendo was almost certainly the biggest publisher for it.

Maybe not at the beginning because home video games were new and different, and there was plenty of competition from Sega and Atari and others.

But in a related note, Atari was forced to create a new company to publish some of its coin-op games to fend off monopoly accusations. (It later turned out to just be a shell game.)
Yeah chaotic systems are merely characterized by their extreme sensitivity to initial conditions for a particular long term outcome. All systems trend when modeled mathematically. It’s just difficult to know where a chaotic system will be at any point in time because of how hard it is to establish initial conditions.

One way you can play with a real chaotic system is to build one of the circuits in jc sprott’s papers and vary the control variable. You’ll see at some values of your control an “orderly” progression of the response variables, and at others a difficult to predict progression.

Ask HN: Anyone else noticing an uptick in spam on Gmail?
Seems like the amount of spam I am getting is massively up in recent months. Tons of pure spam, but also a very significant amount of email lists I definitely never subscribed to. I keep clicking 'report spam' but I feel like that button does nothing at all.
I wrote a minimal implementation in NumPy here (the forward pass code is only 40 lines): https://github.com/jaymody/picoGPT

Trends are chaotic too and hit inflection points that are hard to predict. He goes deep on the pred/prey model from Isle Royal where trends go for a bit then inflect. Tons of wolves then tons of elk then low populations of both then high of both. There are trends but no hyper static state or relationship even.

For various reasons, I've read a lot of research on human sexuality.

It's nice when two people can make their marriage work and be happily monogamous. It's unfortunate that we collectively haven't yet sorted out how to establish happy monogamy more reliably.

For your second example, blaming someone for their personality disorder isn't reasonable. People don't wake up one morning and go "I think I would like to acquire a personality disorder for funsies." It's unfortunate that humanity has yet to establish a solid track record for fixing mental health issues.

Last, according to the link you submitted in your previous comment:

Although over 21,000 American soldiers were given varying sentences for desertion during World War II, including 49 death sentences, Slovik's death sentence was the only one that was carried out.

I still have no idea at all what or who you are trying to blame with your third example or what you are trying to say you wish were different.
I think if someone can replace their management with chatGPT, they can probably just do the migration :P
"field of meritocracy"

Meritocracies don't exist, only the illusion for those that benefit.

Yes, it seems you're using the lowest theoretical barriers. That's fine. I'm talking about the common practical barriers. Of course our conclusions will differs.
> consumers seem to be doing great

I want some of that stuff you are smoking.

Vendor lock-in. Planned obsolescence. Common, established features being removed in favor of proprietary protocols or connectors. Data privacy violations.

All of that because we like free/cheap stuff. Saying Big Tech is good to consumers is like saying Big Pharma is good because their opiods are chemically pure.
Prototypes. When you have a design element in mind, you prototype it. This may mean writing multiple programs before producing the final program(s). Using the same language for your prototypes as for your final (target) system mitigates the concern there because you can take components of your prototypes and turn them into modules/libraries used by the final system.

Testing. Always test the system. Automate every test you can so you can trigger them and get a report once completed rather than wasting your time clicking buttons or typing in commands.
I find that DJI fibs about their transmission range, but not battery life.
I’d add Rare and Mojang to the list as well. Rare for obvious reasons (kinect, etc), and people are finally starting to realize that most of the additions to Minecraft in the last 5 years have been kinda terrible.
What Happened to the Semantic Layer?
Semantic layers, also known as metrics layers or “headless BI”, have become a popular topic in the online data community in recent years. For all the hype, the idea hasn't seen much traction. In this blog post, I hypothesize why not, and describe the Malloy language and why I think it has a better chance at succeeding.
This has been packaged as Tools/gdb/libpython.py lately.

I put more of the blame on a related but slightly different principle, fake it till you make it. The subject matter makes a huge difference in how bad that approach is. Falsely claiming that an app uses AI to identify if a picture is a hot dog or not is dishonest, but not the end of the world. Lying about a medical test being valid, or that a car is fully self driving, is a whole other thing. Those lies directly result in people being killed and should not be tolerated.
