> Throwing more money at a problem does not always yield a faster or improved solution.

This cliché probably holds if you are increasing the funding of a single group - doubling Firefox’s income would not improve Firefox.

If you are funding independent groups, chasing different paths and solutions, then more money likely helps. Kind of like VC funding.

Of course having independent groups all chasing a single solution is also a single point-of-failure problem - the dominant amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer's springs to mind as an example of a lack of diversity.
When Karl Marx wrote his book, it was in response to the aristocracy and bourgeois owning majority of the resources. He proposed resources be distributed amongst the people in service of the people or “working class” and proposed government take on this role.

Capitalism was termed and grouped together in response to Marxist philosophy because it was a threat to the aristocracy. Capitalism proposed anyone and everyone can get rich if they slave away hard enough. Yet the “capitalists” still owned much of the capital resources.

It is important to note that the normal person did not have too much opportunity in the mid 1800s. If you seen the movie the “English Game” this is evident in there. The concept of working hard and getting rich was introduced in the early 20th century. This is also about the time when schooling had become compulsory throughout the United States.

Asked chatgpt "Summarize this post for me. <post text>" and the result was surprisingly useful:

The author of this post was invited to speak at RustConf 2023, but the organizers later changed their talk from a keynote to a regular presentation. The author was initially unsure why their talk was downgraded, but learned that RustConf didn't want to endorse the author's ideas for compile-time programming. The author argues that no one should have expected them to misrepresent the Rust Project's goals and says that they and their team were transparent in their work. The author believes that the degrading of their talk was a vindictive and unprofessional move by RustConf and has decided not to attend the conference.
What are you talking about? Every game developer licenses with Nintendo to publish to Switch. Nintendo takes about 30% royalties, which stings if their platform is insecure. Only Nintendo can make physical cartridges. Nothing with the status quo there has changed.

Also, the last original Wii game was Just Dance 2020. Not joking, a Wii game was released 3 years ago.

That's not "entrapment". If all it takes for you to commit an offense is the perception that other people are doing it too, you're predisposed and require no coercion, and thus culpable.

Just to be absolutely clear: it doesn't matter; even if it was "entrapment", it's not necessarily unethical. Plenty of western countries don't recognize entrapment defenses. But it's also just not entrapment.
HN is classified as one of the six kinds of social media, yes.
I am impressed by the amount of people you have on your newsletter mailing list. Can you share how you got so many sign-ups?
Ummm....

A debugger won't "step in" unless you..."step in" instead of "step over."

STL is also no longer a thing. There's only the C++ standard library. So I think you're dating your usage of C++ by ... a decade or more?
Regardless, I would prioritize learning OCaml. The only thing SML has going for it is nicer syntax, and less stapled-on OOP stuff. OCaml's better in almost every way for day-to-day programming.
I was specifically asking about Gamecube and Wii games, not Switch. Dolphin is a Gamecube/Wii emulator, both of which no longer have active games being released for them. Your argument might have some application if it was a Switch emulator being propped up.

Nonsense back at you. Because laws that are selectively enforced to an extreme degree are unjust. Period.

Tons of students cheat. The solution is effective policy at an institutional level to actually deter cheating overall, not to catch a tiny subset of individuals that accomplishes nothing in the broader picture.
Just tell the other investors they can buy you out, let you keep your equity, or some combination. To do otherwise seems to twist the definition of “equity.” If a founder suddenly told an investor they “couldn’t keep their equity” there’d be lawyers involved. As soon as you tell them you want cash I’m sure they’ll shut up real quick.

You can measure mixed risk like this in hours exposed, since the outcome of a car and bike trip in Denmark is the same (you get to work or whatever). That will also be fairer to cars, since I suspect there are more deaths per KM for cars.

Professor had provided class lectures, study guides, textbooks, past homeworks and many other materials. They were all correct, and properly endorsed by professor.

The policy explicitly says "that looking at other tests without the instructor’s permission counts as cheating". Students who ignored _all_ professor-provided materials and went to cheating websites to study answers that are "obviously wrong to anyone who had paid attention in class" got what they deserve.
I live out here. 10 miles may as well be an inch. It is VAST.

Hey, just an idea here. Win xp DDK is usable. Patching XP is still possible without MS's involvement. No driver signing. It's not legal but a binary fork of XP can be a thing.

"Information wants to be free" as the adage goes.
When I was pretty young - maybe six - I spent about a month at a hospital in the USSR. I don’t know why I was there (observation?), and it’s not be point - the point is, while there, slightly older patients taught me how to fold beautiful paper airplanes, with unbelievable aerodynamic properties - I mean those things could fly.

Many years later, I was taking an aerodynamics course at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University taught by Bob Sweginnis (died in plane crash, while practicing aerobatics), who dedicated an entire class to a paper airplane contest. The winning criteria was “plane that stays in the air the longest wins”.

My plane came in second - I designed it to make an easy curve through the bungalow to maximise air time, and Bob Sweginnis did an excellent job launching it. He stopped the timer when my plane hit the wall of the bungalow, with plenty of altitude to spare.

The winner? A sheet of paper, basically, that pendulumed to the green carpet in a swinging motion, like a leaf, about a second slower than it took my Mona Lisa to commit suicide.
I am not sure... with caveats about timeseries ofc, plotting the yearly mean with a linear fit shows a curve where values in 1960 and 2010s are above the line and the between years are below. This would fit with a non constant slope that is slowly increasing in steepness.

The size of the increase each year is much higher now than in 1980s even accounting for the increased CO2 value. So the rate of change has increased.
I agree. In principle, under the DSA, researchers have a right to examine also the censored content. It is also notable that Google "receives leads" from various parties.
The countries you have listed all use CCS2, which is not compatible with anything in use in North America. So why would that be relevant to the question of North America deciding between CCS1 and NACS?
A tonne of peskovite lab demos have failed to launch at scale in industrial deployment. It is really hard to make stable, high yield, high power PV. Small increments are all we're left with.

You're saying the risk:consequences equation differs. I don't disagree.
Maybe, but if you aren't begging immigrants to come to America in the next ten years I'll eat my hat. We should be competing for immigrants right now. Unless you like economic stagnation (save for a possible AI productivity revolution).
I think it’s fair to be disappointed, and I’m even open to the idea that the conference organizers fumbled. But yeah, the attempt at public shaming feels weird in light of the scant details. Calling out misbehavior is sometimes appropriate, but it kinda requires the accuser to describe exactly what happened.
I would say it’s more about establishing legal boundaries.

The Wii was the first console to use digital signatures; which would make it the first console to really invoke DMCA Section 1201 when prior consoles did not. Establishing out the gate that this tramples on 1201 could be extremely important in the future. Section 1201 is also what overrides Bleam and other prior emulator lawsuits - they didn’t have cryptographic keys protected by law flying around.

Because, how long until Yuzu is on the Steam store? And if Nintendo didn’t take action for the Wii (the first one protected under the title), defending against Yuzu is much harder.

Code of Ur-Nammu (2100 BC): If a man commits a robbery, he will be killed.

Code of San Francisco (2023 AD): If you try to prevent robbery, you will be killed.

/s
A DMCA notice requires the aforementioned declaration under penalty of perjury, plus some other declarations that are merely required to be good faith beliefs, plus contact information for the sender.

That last bit makes it quite easy to discover that a DMCA notice was faked, thus quite risky for the sender: either they provide contact information for themselves that will be repudiated by the actual copyright holder should anyone question it, or they provide contact information for the actual copyright holder and are unable to carry the charade beyond the initial message and the takedown will not last beyond the initial ~2 weeks for a counterclaim to take effect (plus they'd catch the notice of the actual corporate legal department, who are unlikely to appreciate the impersonation).
I’m sitting in a hotel room before a wedding I’m going to photograph and I just laughed at this.

Back when they were popular? (Practically?) Every new camera coming out is mirrorless. Every pro is moving to mirrorless. It won’t be all that long before you can’t even buy a new DSLR.

Canon, Sony, and Nikon all have their own mount just as they always have. Canon and Nikon took the opportunity to make theirs larger/better/shorter distance, but you can use adapters to use old glass. As a matter of fact, I don’t even have any Z lenses for my mirrorless body.

Mirrorless is better, full stop. The only real disadvantage is battery life. Some people prefer an OVF, but personally I have a much easier time seeing through an EVF. The jump in focus accuracy is an absolute game changer, and it’s worth switching for that reason alone.

I have a Z8 on the way and then I’ll be fully mirrorless myself, and I can’t wait to ditch what’s largely considered the best DSLR ever made - the D850.

This is one of the few times I sympathize with Nintendo's piracy issues. They're a competing platform/console, why wouldn't they stop this?
I don't think anyone intelligent enough to compose something resembling a valid DMCA takedown notice would be stupid enough to fake it in that particular manner, when the law deliberately leaves much wider and safer gaps for a sender to abuse the takedown process.
Cryptographic key doesn't matter. It's covered explicitly under the exemptions listed in Section 1201. Discovering the cryptographic key using reverse engineering and using it for system interoperability is legal. They explicitly call this out:

> to “circumvent a technological measure” means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner;

Nintendo has no standing.
Dude are you serious? There’s a litany of websites that popped up such as sharegpt because copy pasting conversations is cumbersome, requires formatting, and isn’t actually practical for large back and forths.

How the f can people be so cynical, seriously?
> The company I work for just jumped on the bandwagon and is actually searching for people with ML/AI experience. If you can use Spark, TensorFlow, Scikit and Keras

This has nothing to do with question though. No one is hiring people who know Spark and Tensorflow to replace jobs. The kind of job replacement OP is asking about will potentially come from having your company sign a huge contract with Azure or whatever, hook up a bunch of LLM agents and APIs to it and lay off your 90% of your client support department. It won't be "we heard about AI on the news so we hired someone who knows keras". Companies do this but they have been doing it for many years - it isn't new or interesting (and many companies figured out how to do it well along the way too).

> But if you can claim experience with these frameworks, enjoy the ride. Companies are going to pay you whatever you ask.

No, they won't. The pay is similar to other software development. If at some companies it's higher, it might be something like 10% higher, definitely not "pay you whatever you want".

You're extrapolating too much from your company and your comment seems to be based on things that were relevant 5+ years ago, not on what's been happening in the field in the past 12 months.
i'm generally of the opinion that the DMCA is an overreach and a bad law, but this seems like exactly the sort of thing it was meant to address. in what way is this an abuse of it?

How do you know it doesn't? You've only looked at it from your use case and based on it making you happy and saving you time. Nothing to do with the business needs at all.
Walgreens also just settled with San Francisco over their contribution to the opioid crisis in San Francisco. They also recently fired the security firm* that killed the alleged shoplifter. There's a lot going on with retail both in the Bay Area and nationwide. To pin it on failed San Francisco policy is more than a bit reductivist.

Whether it’s malice or clumsiness isn’t relevant, it’s poor communication and process, which is the responsibility of leadership.

The project leadership has continuously failed in these areas, and there has only been an effort to improve those things when they’ve been publicly called out. Without people openly communicating leadership failures, problems have often been ignored and maligned.

Why are you ignoring the issue of games being re-released on newer platforms? Even if the Gamecube and Wii are more or less dead platforms, that doesn't mean the games are no longer valuable IP that the studios want protected in any way possible.
Because most viruses differ enough that they don't have similar recognition motifs (antigens). Sometimes a lucky person will get a "universal" response to an entire viral clade, but at some point the clades just diverge enough that they can't offer protection against each other.

If you have to get infected with a pox virus, cowpox or chickenpox are good ones to get infected with. But it's better not to get any, if you have the option.
No it's not. It's kicking the can down the road a little bit. Worldwide the fertility is plummeting, it's already below replacement in most countries that used to stream people into the US: Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, etc, not to mention India or China. Perhaps except Guatemala, which is already tiny and trending down as well.

The "solution" here is to make conditions in those countries much worse, so that even the existing population starts to leave and the immigration gets sustained. Otherwise it will be trending down, because the replacement is no longer there and those countries will start facing labor shortages of their own in a couple of decades.

>Again, your position doesn’t resemble anything scientific.

The science can speak for itself. My position isn't even about the science so much as the psychology and politics of risk aversion and paranoia around this specific vaccine. I assume you take flu vaccines, maybe tetanus if you have to travel, or chickenpox. People get vaccinated against Hepatitis B at birth. None of those had 50 years of clinical trials before release, there's a new flu vaccine every year.

People act like pharmaceutical companies never encountered anything like COVID before and just started mixing beakers of random chemicals together in a mad panic and jabbing people on the street with them, but research into coronaviruses and mRNA vaccines was already going on for decades. The infrastructure and science was already there. Technology improved. The vaccine was tested, it went through blind trials, it was approved using the same process as other vaccines.

And this is the scientific position, which you could easily avail yourself of. Science isn't the reason people don't trust this specific vaccine, because science doesn't support that fear.
Some games have issue in moving groups of units, with some units moving slowly while others move faster, end up reaching the destination at different times, and get easily taken out by enemy units one by one, unless the player painstakingly babysits the entire movement to ensure same time of arrival.
