That's just wrong. We ran metric tons of questionable content before being approved for anything.
Maybe we disagree on a fundamental level then. Even though the FDA, NRC, FAA, etc overregulate and stifle somewhat, I think they are a net good and that a regulation-free environment would not be a better situation.
> I looked into these guys recently. I do think their heart is in the right place. Like it's obviously a small operation, but I think that's all the better. We don't need another Mozilla foundation. But being small their marketing is a bit sparse and engineer:y so I'll take the opportunity to shill a bit.

Mozilla Foundation has large overhead on management (CEO getting more while people getting fired), and it has that structure of a non-profit within a for-profit of the same name/brand.

For organizations providing grants, I don't think Mozilla even does that? Unless you mean stuff which is brought under the umbrella of Mozilla. Even YC and Google provide grants, its just with a twist (not selfless with the kicker being private equity). For an organization which provides selfless grants, there's for example the Dutch NLnet Foundation [1]. Which also falls under a different jurisdiction which can be a pro or con.

Are there any detailed descriptions available of how the music and voice were synthesized?

Based on the recording, the information I could find, and imagining how I'd try to do the same thing using the technology of the era, I assume the melody is based on single-cycle samples of a piano and Max Matthews playing the violin. The vocals sound like formant synthesis like the Votrax SC-01 or TI LPC series, although of course those chips didn't exist until 15+ years after the work at IBM. But I'm very curious about the details. Did the team develop a general-purpose sequencer for the melody and/or speech, or were all of the notes, slides, etc. hardcoded? Did the computer actually output all 3+ parts together, or were they separate elements mixed after the fact? I assume the output was not realtime, but it would be a neat surprise if they achieved that in the 60s. Was it all handled digitally in the computer, or was the computer controlling some add-on hardware, maybe with analogue filters? Etc.
Gamecube was much stronger than the Dreamcast, and generally sat between the PS2 and X-Box in terms of performance.
Point #3 (Using Your Phone as a Mouse and Keyboard) mentions utilizing the gyroscope. I've had that idea in the back of my head for years and years and am super excited somebody actually built it. Looking forward to trying this out.

If it works well enough to actually use I'm gonna be turning heads at the next in person meeting. :)
AlmaLinux 9.2 Now Available to Replace RHEL, Older CentOS
How about author's proposing a hashtag for their paper that could be used citing them? For instance something like #transformers_nuerips17 for the attention is all you need paper. It might be also coherent with the social media like twitter authors are using these days.
Actual recall notice:
https://www.samr.gov.cn/zw/zh/202305/t20230512_355181.html

Translated via Google:

The vehicles within the scope of this recall do not allow the driver to choose the energy recovery braking strategy; at the same time, there may not be enough reminders for the driver to depress the accelerator pedal deeply for a long time. The superposition of the above factors may increase the probability of mistakenly stepping on the accelerator pedal for a long time, which may increase the risk of collision and pose a safety hazard.
I've been in this situation, and what people expect are that the "main office" time holds, even for remote teams that should know better.

Then again, you don't want all your meetings changing by an hour half the year to avoid a one-week discrepancy.

You dont have to replace yourself perfectly in order for the proposal to make sense. All that matters is that you agree the two versions are connected by conscious experience. If you take steroids that massively change your personality and mood, you still perceive it as happening to you.
Google is pretty far from maximizing their monopolistic platform

What about selling your gmail data?

I think BOTW was too non-linear. You could do the main storyline and shrines in any order; there were no new skills or items blocking you from exploring the entirety of the map from the beginning (just health/stamina); and the dungeons and shrines are all visually identical. It lacks a feeling of progression.

Compare that with the "old" Zelda formula: you have to do dungeons in order, because the item you get in each dungeon unlocks the way forward on the overworked or in the dungeon. There are few to no side quests that aren't actually necessary to beat the game. Each dungeon (and overworld region) has a completely different visual aesthetic.

I think a middle ground would lead to a much better experience. Talking just about BOTW, imagine if 2 of the dungeons had to be done first, but each of those gave some item or ability that allowed you to complete one of the other ones. Or if the game was divided in half like most Zelda games are (light/dark world, young/old link), this makes you feel like you've accomplished something and are moving into a new chapter of the story.
Some context that may not be obvious to non-musicians. Most companies in audio don't open source ANYTHING. Likely the primary reason for this is copycats. While Dropbox could open source their entire product and still get by on enterprise sales and entrenchment, musicians are extremely price conscious and have little qualms with flipping gear on a dime. Behringer can (and likely will) release a copy cat of the Deluge for 1/10th the price, and Synthstrom has made the brave decision to do this anyways.

No doubt this gives Synthstrom a huge boost to their (already very strong) reputation. But even more so this gives a huge number of developers an amazing foundation on which to start hacking and creating new devices.

(I own a Deluge and am a massive fan of the company)
Thanks. I misunderstood that.

Destroying evidence. Not for something. Just destroying evidence is a crime in itself. Ask your lawyer maybe.
Yeah, I feel exactly the same way.

The Shrines were a huge part of why I was so unimpressed with BotW, because they were all so transparently made piecemeal. "Open World" doesn't mean a whole lot when you're expected to complete random identically flavored puzzles every 15 minutes.

I can also picture how Shrines were engineered in a fast-food style assembly line: "Nintendo Engineering Team 46-b, you're being assigned Shrines 5-23, complete them in x weeks."

Even barring Shrines, the "Open World" itself was fairly devoid of interesting things.
I hope this helps anyone suffering from burnout (and other types of pain...):

Not necessarily a methodology/technique to avoid burnout itself, but rather a kind of "algorithm" that helps reduce the suffering that comes from it.
(It's technically a manual for physical pain, but I found that it works just as well for things like burnout...)
After we combined the search bar and address bar some queries turn into page loads. So before typing example.zip would perform a search, but now it leaks the terms out to my DNS server, usually in plaintext.

For TLDs that match popular file extensions, this risk is pretty high.

Honestly, blocked countries are not losing out. I can't believe how behind Google is on all this. Bard in its current incarnation is a disaster. Pretty much all replies are hallucinations. Looks like Google really was caught pants down with with ChatGPT.
I have been a big fan of Google phones, but am being forced to switch away due to their horrendous parts prices. Their replacement LCD's cost ~$200.
This is my approach too. I only ever measure the liquid - water or sometimes water with a bit of milk. And measure is a strong word - I just fill 2 cup measuring cup I have because that gives me enough for two large loaves. It doesn't seem to matter much how much starter you put into the batch, as long as it's 'enough'. I usually almost-empty my partly full quart jar of starter. A glug of oil or a pat of butter, a small palm full of salt. As long as you add flour gradually until you get the desired consistency, you're fine. Maybe you get longer/shorter rising times, but I usually do cool and slow rising for hours and hours so I don't really notice much of a difference there.
This is fearmongering. As others have mentioned, it hinges on whether offering open source software on GitHub is considered a product in the sense of the law. The details are probably up for courts to decide, and despite what we like to think, they are not completely stupid.

The law is not geared towards "just putting some software on a server and calling it open source" which is what most projects do. It is geared as far as I understand towards bad IOT devices, among others. People sell them and know outright that there are existing vulnerabilities, and that rightfully should be illegal.

I think (maybe after some adjustments) this will be a boon to open source. Because every company shipping a program or a physical product with some GPL or MIT source inside will now be forced to bring it up to good quality before making money out of it. And at least in case of GPL, it is likely it will be contributed back to upstream. (I personally prefer upstreaming all open source code even when not required to share it, because you don't have the burden of maintaining a fork, and you have a better relationship with the developers in case you need to incorporate new features.)
that's a good point. I assumed it was the complicated logic, but maybe it just has a hard time going against common sense.
Since when is your curiosity the only one that matters?

Shockingly, different people have different experiences and as a result different curiosities.

> It's their site, they pay for the resources, provide the work, if they want to block people who block their ads, they have that right.

> You are not entitled to my website because I put it up.

Yup, I absolutely agree. But if you want people to pay for your site, then you must force users to log in to use your content.

If you put your site up without a login portal then your site is free. Advertisements sent to anonymous users are not a valid option: they are easily gamed, easily abused, and easily contain malicious content. If you want to serve advertisements, that's your business, but do it to users who have clearly opted into it.

If users don't want that then they won't sign up to your site. It's a win-win on both sides.
> Education about risk only benefits people capable of managing the risk - not the people likely to get addicted in the first place.

Sure, but people likely to get addicted are sometimes also in the presence of people who would benefit from a proper drug education in order to help protect the more vulnerable.

Am I saying people will stop using drugs if they stop being illegal? No way, the opposite actually. But if drug use wasn't considered indiscriminately bad, that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing anyway.

I agree that strongly held beliefs should be occasionally challenged.

I also think that there are two reasons why people try to pressure me, one which is not my fault, and another which is.

First, it's not my fault that my beliefs are not fashionable. This will always be the case. I tend to ignore these ones because people attack me personally.

Second, it is my fault when I have bad wording, such as your correct claim that my wording makes it seem like I'm wishing bad things on this country. These criticisms I take seriously and try to fix. For example, I added the following note to the post due to your criticism:

> Edit 12 May 2023: After confusion on Hacker News, I want to clarify something that I am not wishing for the United States to die; I do not want to go through that upheaval. I am wishing no ill will against the United States, just like Isaiah wished no ill will against the Kingdom of Judah when he prophesied that Assyria would invade and almost conquer Jerusalem or that the Babylonians would destroy Jerusalem.

> Instead, I wish the United States could slowly evolve into something better.

> What I mean by this post is that the United States is not evolving the right direction, and as a result, it will not evolve into something better, but it will get worse until disaster strikes.

If I can make a UI suggestion, please consider making the word list fully visible and remove the overflow. It's fun to go the long way and see all my entries. I just completed the daily with 9 added words :)

In the instructions, I'd also make it a bit more clear what does it take to win the game. Like "Keep adding words until all words are similar by more than 20%"

Kudos for building the game, I hope it gains some traction.
Sorry that my comment provides little to no value to the original question: being a native Spanish speaker from Latin America, in my 10 years in IT, I have been so far unable to find a site that comes close to any tech forum or something like Hacker News. I agree with franciscop that there should be a Spanish Hacker News. The problem is: what content would it be fed with, as quality content is scarce.
> Is Google or any Android manufacturer doing security updates for a phone released in 2013?

To demonstrate the absurdity of this logic, let's talk about how much better Linux is than Apple. Linux (various distributions, collectively referred to here as "linux" for convenience) still supports many systems that are 20+ years old! In fact, Linux is often used to give unsupported Apple devices a longer lease on life. Does Apple do that?

Economics of scale come into effect as well. Gzip decompression speed is slightly better at higher levels as well. A one time higher cost of compression can pay off pretty quickly when you are decompressing it a lot of times, or serving it to enough people.
No.

There isn’t any large, well established old money universities that push tech innovation.

There isn’t any large, well established new money funds that give away money to spur new innovation.

There isn’t a large cohort of super nerdy, super risky people in Miami.

tldr: the commons seems undervalued by individuals

You can just use an ad blocker, and don't get me wrong, I hate ads. But youtube ads don't load potentially malicious scripts (for now), and they provide the money that incentivizes this MASSIVE open self publisher friendly library of video data. So adblocker on youtube reminds me of leaving grocery carts in the middle of parking lots. Stores like Aldi solve this by requiring a quarter to use their carts, but that's incinvenient.

Also reminds me of the open source funding challenge. The commons requires individual buy in and conscientious support, something that seems to be on the decline because(?) no one wants to carry free riders.
I believe alder lake and newer intel desktop chips support ECC, if you get the right motherboard/chipset.

Desktop ryzens support ECC for several generations, but ECC support varies by chipset. AMD forums often discuss it. Some Ryzen motherboards mention the support and certify ECC dimms.

So ECC is possible, but annoying.
I meant to specify social results. Innovation is valuable only in so far as it raises the well-being of society as a whole. All the critical measures of this are going in the wrong direction.

Technological advancement might be astonishingly fast but that gives no indication of its value.

That the exact definition of following the law.
Based on some of my recent YT watching:

Open world games need the open world to work with how players explore and interact. Interesting sites should be visually distinct from each other and the environment, and frequent. They should not all be visible at once, to avoid players being overwhelmed with unclear choices. They should all be rewarding so players are confident they aren’t wasting their time visiting. There shouldn’t be important content hidden from visibility because then the game is teaching the player that looking at the world is futile. And the world should be navigable without the UI, i.e. the players are focused on the world and not the UI.
I had a very similar experience to you. The only parts of BotW that came close to the "feel" of OoT were the Divine Beasts, but they were such a small part of the game.

My biggest criticism was how much like it felt like you were canonically in a game. Link with his iPad complete with selfie camera, and the clearly computer-generated matrix-y shrines, and if you went too far towards the mountains a "You can't go further that way" message, the strongest feeling I got playing that game is that in truth Link is being observed in a simulated fishbowl environment. A cool idea for a game to lean into, maybe, but not in this case.

> What about timezone differences that vary depending not only on geography, but also on the ethnicity of the people associated with the event?

Typically, recently, this problem would occur in disputed territories where the “legal time” at a certain point differs because it is claimed by different polities with different timezone rules, so its more of political allegiance than ethnicity (though those correlate).
We already have multiple "Epic Stacks". They are Rails, Laravel, Phoenix and Django. They give you everything listed straight out of the box and you don't have to deal with the trash that is the JS ecosystem. That's what makes them Epic :)
Your criticism is valid because my wording was bad. I do not wish for national destruction, actually.

As I said somewhere in this thread, my communication skills are not good; I tend toward strong statements, too strong. My wife has worked on helping me overcome that, and I am better than I was two years ago when I wrote that post.

I've added a note to the post addressing your criticism. See another one of my replies to one of your comments.
We had a floppy vinyl 45 of that when I was a kid in the 1960s (my mother was a high school science teacher and we often had cool stuff like that around the house).
Would your digital self though? It's a simulation, so maybe digital you wouldn't be conscious of perceiving, dreaming, imagining, etc. If you take the philosophical position that computation is an abstraction from individual first person experiences, then your digital self wouldn't be conscious, since the functional leaves out the experiential. Your digital self would be a p-zombie.
