Love Plus is a Visual Novel / Dating Sim, got a sequel on the 3DS and apparently there was some kind of App[1]? So enough traction for that at least. Japan-exclusive (and probably not really compatible with the European or US market as a retail title, IMO).

There is definitely no AI in there apart from if-else trees, at least in the original games - the DS is super low power.

I agree that overall population metrics tell a story of both cities' decline, but in the context of startups it's important to understand who is moving in/out. Tech workers who are upper middle class are typically moving into these metros, while lower-income families who might not work in tech are moving out.
Why should they bother with any sort of testing? Customers with multi-million-dollar budgets are sitting at the table and eager to buy. And "does it actually work?" is of no real interest to anybody at the table.

This. Spinning up an Uber app clone is easy, actually running the service and having it available everywhere is hard and not something Google is likely to be good at.
So what are you blaming exactly?

The fact that social media has us all connected and capable of measuring relative to others?

Or the fact it's weaponized by an entire industry of "influencers" subsidized by actors just trying to maximize the consumption factor of economic activity?

Or the fact that the system is fundamentally governed by network effect induced power laws, leading to massive inequality, that can end up being a stressor on average?

Just trying to tease out the right thread here, is all.

Something that lets us all communicate isn't inherently bad. It's the end that it is applied to that is.

I own a P100, P4, M40. They either lack ram or speed. Also, unless you are putting them in a server you have to cool them.

I don't think you understand how money laundering works...
I kind of disagree that we will “build” goal directed AI. I think it’s something that gets discovered by accident, like life. Kind of like an accidental chemical replicator near a volcanic vent, we might happen to make a purpose built system that just happens to have other properties we didn’t intend it to, resulting in unbound activity. It’s much more interesting than a machine, we have a great deal of emergent strangeness to look forward to
You do see it in some places around Midtown/Times Square - just not as frequent as in SF, and that area has been crappy for a long time. I love living in NYC but we could become like SF if we're not careful.
i'd like it compared to the energy imbalance with alkaline batteries. the ammount of energy is just insignificant in relation to the collaterals and amenities.
Just spitballing - I'm sure they can do the app part easily, but I think the harder part is legislation. And I don't know if Google is in much of a position to just start popping up in cities as transport competition like Uber did, whereas it might be an easier sell if it's just a new service in Uber which already exists that has the technology supplied by Google/Waymo.

Wouldn't simple mappings introduce sufficient plausible deniability in this case?

An example: Every two bits in the encrypted message are mapped to 0=A, 1=T, 2=G, 3=C and suddenly everyone is transmitting DNA sequences for research and evaluation.

Attach the encrypted message to a legitimate sequence and-- boom! --you have a "telomere".
Netflix's Big Double-Dip
Yes, you are correct that bug fix release cycle and feature release cycle are different. If I felt that the majority of criticisms and comments were about bugs, I wouldn't have felt compelled to respond in this way. Perhaps I've misjudged that.

I will admit that the bug list is extremely disheartening. I have personally never come across them in the wild, but I don't doubt that when they do come up they are a horrible roadblock and the burgeoning set of community tools to work around this is telling.
How do you define "incorrectly"? IMHO the author of the song consistently plays it one way, then that's the correct execution of that rhythm, and playing it differently would be a different rhythm, not the one intended.

So, the text of NC’s statute prohibiting knives in schools also applies to colleges, and prohibits basically any “sharp or pointed object,” with exceptions for “instructional or maintenance” purposes. Still, it could encompass everything from kitchen knives in an apartment on campus to tools in someone’s car, tools in the makerspace (which is not technically instructional), etc.

Does anyone know if this could be attacked as overly vague since it would encompass so many things that are regularly brought to and allowed on campus?
Can you please list which of these compiler bugs are _major_?

There was a commonly encountered compiler bug in 0.19.0 (Map.! crash) and the 0.19.1 version was the result of fixing that. During 4 years of writing Elm full-time (close to 500kloc total) I have encountered only a "rank 2 typevar" typechecking bug _once_ and it was easy enough to work around. The Elm code that large projects need doesn't really trigger compiler bugs and crashes of the kind you'd see in the GitHub Issues.

If GCC has some bug reports open about crashes, but your code doesn't really trigger those in practice, would you call GCC unsuited for large projects?
Remote driving would likely result in worse safety with very little gained by a commercial transportation company. They still have to pay for a driver but now that driver is staring at a screen 12 hours a day. Humans are already mediocre drivers when physically present and that would get so much worse if they were doing everything remotely instead
Speaking as a dude who loves legacy Lisp - I once wrote an interpreter for it in Elm. I was disappointed to find there wasn't enough parenthesis in Elm! Sometimes the bell and whistles get in the way of my creativity and flow
The worry is still easy to understand I think. Suppose you are a programmer or a project manager and you have come to think that your skills are valuable, i.e., they are rare and someone will pay for those skills so you find opportunities to participate in the economy. Suppose further you believe that some AI programs will be able to produce the programs you could produce, it makes sense to be worried as you would immediately think will you be laid off and have trouble finding ways to participate. This is the same phenomena every disruptive breakthrough puts communities of people through every so often.

That said, as I said I find the discussions on AI generally incoherent. I do not believe programmers or teachers will be obsolete in the foreseeable future (probably ever) nor is it a bad idea to put certain jobs into the hands of machines; a lot of the jobs are terribly boring and should be replaced. I would guess that whatever the disruption, we are likely open new rooms to develop new skills that we'll see over time.

As a side point yes I agree in some areas, like art, people will always find more value in originality and creativity coming from a human. I'm convinced we will always find what Monet did more beautiful than what some robot can do. But that doesn't apply to other fields like programming, or product management, or cleaning.
They definitely do. My mom raised chickens free range for a while. They spent large parts of the day roosted in her cedar tree. They can't fly very high, but they can get enough lift to catch low hanging branches and climb up from there.
Gleam v0.29 – Gleam gets autocompletion
This also looks slightly bad on Uber as it had its own autonomous driving division that I suspect isn't doing well anymore.

I was very intrigued until I opened the article and realized you meant a vertical bar.
Congrats on the launch! There's certainly a "problem" worth solving here. I'm a lawyer, and it's crazy that I occasionally actually have to negotiate non-substantive parts of contracts like severance clauses. There really should be standardized boilerplate for at least some provisions (like you're doing), where companies can quickly say "we are using the common terms", and if another side pushes back it raises questions. That said, it's tricky to deal with edge cases, differences in state law, etc.

Nevertheless, I like your approach. Kudos especially to open sourcing the contracts--in fact, I think that's critical to success in this space. Open sourcing the terms allows companies to understand them and quickly agree to them with confidence. Wishing you luck!
And this is exactly where IPFS makes sense for me. As long as the community wants something to exist it can exist for free. If only you want it to exist, host it. When you no longer care, it will exist until no one hosts it anymore.
C support in Visual Studio Code is pretty good, I’ve found.
Does every business model eventually fall into vile recurring payments? Are business that sell a nice thing that you can pay a fair price for once so unattractive to investors now that beloved brands are willing to throw away their reputation nickel and diming customers?

Freight and air travel don’t involve cocaine as a standard. VPN and SSL do include encryption as standard.

It’s not an analogy, it’s pointing out that encryption is more common than some think.
For different reasons though.
Lack of namespacing is a trap most language package managers have fallen into sadly: even Cargo sees it as an “advantage” not to have them, apparently.

I think that is extremely short sighted, and that all packages including standard ones should be namespaced.
Eh, the FDIC is $250k per account, and total coverage in the fund is pretty small. I'd think we'd stop making blanket statements like this after seeing a couple large bank failures back-to-back in the US. If there are more, we won't be able to make all retail depositors while without significant additional tax revenue or currency debasement.
Agreed, the mind is running a predictive model as we listen to music. The structure and the deviation from structure all play into our mental model of anticipation and emotional response. Some of it is intentional and part of the composition but some is part of the experience that a live musician can impart in their music.

Of course our leaders are responsible for leading us. That goes without saying.

But you've got to at least put forth a little bit of effort into understanding our leaders arguments.

The Fed has two forces at play that meet at committee meetings. The Hawks argue for tighter policy, while the doves argue for looser policy. Many arguments are made at these meetings, and their meeting notes are public.

There are also crappy websites that push conspiracy theories that have nothing to do with real data. Your arguments are closer to these conspiracy theories than the real data that has been brought forth at these public Fed Meetings.

If you don't like the Fed process or discussion or data, sure I guess. That's fine. But you are pushing effectively disproven conspiracy theories and that's where you are misstepping IMO

I dunno if this 'Greedflation' idea is true btw. But at least it's not the same incorrect conspiracy theory I've heard for the past decade. I'm willing to give 'greedflation' some degree of thought before discarding it.

--------

'Greedflation' is obviously discredited by Powell (current Fed Chairman), according to the article. So maybe its a fully bunk theory too. But its extremely odd to come to this topic to push alternative theories of monetary policy without at least trying to talk or criticize the topic at hand?
> The sale was forced by the UK antitrust agency while Giphy is a US company.

That sounds... strange. Would China or Russia also have an ability to force US companies to sell parts? Has Facebook complied because they wanted to maintain good relations with UK regulators?
This sounds very interesting. Your website doesn't appear to be loading. (edit: It's now back up - thanks!)

However, the idea of standard, programmable contracts is awesome!

One question: In your example of being forced to use Oracle's paperwork - it's not clear how CommonPaper would solve that - wouldn't you still have been forced to use Oracle's contract?
An added point about this (and other similar weird) timing is that they have essentially gone extinct at this point

TechScape: Warnings of a 'splinternet' were greatly exaggerated – until now
“likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe”.

Again the blackmailing. Now and then they are leaving Europe or Australia or whichever country. Good riddance if they really bail out this time.

"I don’t want to overstate things. Warnings of a splinternet have been floating around the web for as long as I’ve been reporting on technology, with the outcome often cited as a lazy argument against any attempt to impose regulatory burdens on the net at large. But it feels closer to reality than it ever has before. Is that a good thing?"

This whole "splinternet debate" in the Western world has been misguided; it has always been about gigantic platforms and not the Internet per se. For some reason, some people have started to equate the two.

I don't usually consider a book trusted until I've cooked a few recipes from it. There are chefs & authors I know from experience or reputation that take home cooking of their recipes seriously but even then if they change publisher or go a while without a book I'll be cautious with recommending the new one.

The things I look for in recipes are unfortunately not things that are easy to share as advice to look for, mostly intuition based on long experience. I just sit down and mentally "cook" the recipe, visualizing each ingredient and step and seeing if it makes sense and the directions are realistic.

One simple thing you can definitely look for is count how many pans, bowls, measuring cups a recipe calls for. If it's several of each that recipe was certainly written for an environment with professional dishwashers and likely not tested for home cooking. Might not be a bad recipe either, but it's more likely to leave out some details because it was originally written for a professional audience where you could assume familiarity with the techniques.

Another thing to look for is check the measurements and see where they came from, especially now that metric measures are becoming more common. If all the metric measurements are too precise it probably wasn't written or tested in metric. No one is measuring 118ml that's a half cup that was converted on paper. Or like 75mg of egg isn't one egg or two eggs, so that recipe was scaled down from a much larger one and probably not tested at this volume. Again though a red flag not a condemnation.
Is it? How so? I'm not saying they're angels, but I don't know if I'd consider the MSFT of today "worse" than in the 90s and early 2000s. It's certainly a more complicated beast than it was then.
This is the crux of the issue.

It's frustrating how many people are stuck in this loop, where they think any company can "easily" follow GDPR by just swapping data regions with their cloud provider. It's not that simple and never was.

This is a broader political spat between two of the largest government bodies in the world, not about facebook.

The EU is not the global privacy champion everyone makes them out to be. They just don't like that US companies can access EU citizens data specifically (since most of the internet is run by US companies). Whether they're okay snooping on their own citizens themselves is a separate issue--they've also regularly challenged encryption domestically.

I'm also certain the EU is not upset that certain 3 letter agencies in the US have access to Russian's private data when in the context of the war in the Ukraine. Like all governments, the EU only cares about their own interests, not about the philosophical idea of privacy in general.

Yup! I recently made some, and it had been a while since I had made them, and I had forgotten just how long it takes.

Also - if you like oninos, make sure to try 'creamed onions' (carmelized oninos in a creme sauce.

Also, if you like french onion soup - use a french onion soup mix packet as a rub on chicken and pork.

Finally, if youre anything like me - I typically never have to wear deoderant, unless I eat RED/PURPLE onions. If I eat these Ill have BO the following day.

Its also a good indicator when I eat something, if I have BO the next day its a signal that what I ate the previous day was made with red onions, even if it doesnt look like it. (Tikka masala is an example) -- I think its the sulfites in the red onions that cause this.

I don't know - the Cities series is taking the next steps on what a city building sim should have progressed as. The last SimCity game was an afront to the series and should never have been released in that state. I say this as someone who's early commandline experience was typing sc2000.exe from dos.

I have hope that there is an online massive Sim world where Sims and SimCity players can co-play and create some amazing real-world scenarios.

I agree that SimCity 4 was the peak of the series but there are many hardcore simcity players that claim 3000 was peak SimCity. Just look at Magnasanti city for some proof of the dedication.
What I found interesting of this article is that most of it is also applicable to a many tech sector jobs. High pressure to deliver something (because we squeeze the last of people), hire-and-fire practices everywhere, politics and toxic environments (because that is what people do and what is the current social perspective on what is okay).

Developers, like scientists, are very outcome driven (number of lines, number of features, RoI, ...)

I’ve worked with groups of juniors and college students every year for a while now. I agree that something is going on, but I don’t think there is a single explanation.

Social media is a big part of it, but from what I’ve seen it’s not in the way people usually describe it. The most unhappy people I see aren’t the ones talking to their friends on Instagram and Facebook during their lunch break. To be honest, those people seem to be thriving socially simply by virtue of keeping up with their friends and coordinating social activities.

The most unhappy people I see are the ones consuming hours of Reddit and Twitter every day. They have a never ending stream of ragebait, outrage headlines, tragedy stories, and world-is-ending stories filling their feeds. They’re also filled with unreasonable expectations about the workplace.

In recent years multiple juniors have confidently told me that “nobody can do more than about 2 hours of work per day”, citing Reddit or Twitter threads that explain it. Then they get into a real job that requires a full day of work and feel like they’re being taken advantage of. I’ve had a concerning number of conversations with juniors who are getting paid $120K or more to do entry level work with great mentoring at a local company, only to be outraged at some idea that the industry is taking advantage of them because they haven’t been promoted to senior with $300K total comp after their first year. The source of these expectations is always some form of social media (Reddit, Blind, Twitter)

I don’t know how this translates to academic contexts because that’s not my mentoring domain. I imagine it’s at least contributing, though. That said, academic environments are known to be grueling so it’s not entirely a singular issue. They really are grueling.

Like how they can "just spin up" a messaging app?

Building companies and customer bases is really, really hard. Microsoft tried like three times to build a Github competitor. They still have at least one of those attempts (Azure DevOps). They still bought Github. An interesting product technically, sure, but: its where the people are at. It was worth it.
