Nature Journal to not allow the use of generative AI in images and video
A lot of us with the financial means to buy a Mac Studio are also old and are "PatientGamers" and fire up games like Skyrim from time-to-time and don't chase after the latest AAA titles. Even 10-15 years ago I used to a have a $200 limit on graphics cards and roughly $100 limit on CPUs and would wait to play games on highest resolution until it was a few years later and I went through a hardware refresh cycle, always staying about 2 years behind. I've never bought a $1000 GPU for a gaming rig.

At the same time I find this interesting that Apple is clearly starting to notice the PC gaming market. Makes me wonder if they're going to start a more serious push soon, and if we might see some changes and repair the relationship that Apple has with AAA studios.

[Edit: And another thought is that with virtual iPhone saturation in the US market, Apple may be facing the economic reality that in order to grow they need to enter into other markets like gaming, and this may as well be a necessary part of the long-term Vision Pro strategy]

AAA studios have shipped a lot of games with broken online services, gameplay, matchmaking, etc. No AAA studio has ever shipped with a broken cash shop. Its all about priorities.
I think this comment thread is hilarious because it's pretty much filled with two groups:

- commenters who are the problem according to the other half

- moderators who are the problem according to the other half.

I think $1,500-2,000 makes it at least price competitive with other premium headsets. Right now the price feels more like the Airpods Max, where it's a good 15-30% more expensive than the pre-existing high end ANC headphones were.
Sometimes (at least in the UK) that number is wrong, possibly intentionally. The only really sure way is to do the calculation yourself. Unless the weight is wrong too.
probably the kind that a vast number of people buy.

I just overheard someone talking about how they buy cheap phones on Amazon because they don't need all the bells and whistles. Except they don't know that's not the only reason why that phone is cheap.
Well, I write MacOS/iOS/WatchOS/iPadOS/visionOS stuff, so I'm dependent on it.

Like most tools, we get used to our main one, and can sometimes get a bit "sneery" about alternate ones.

The Mac is a particularly rich target, because the "snootiness" is actually a deliberate brand ploy by Apple, and pretty much "leads with the chin," so we have that.

I've never been "snooty" about Apple, but it's been my platform for over 30 years, so I'm used to it, and I get a lot done with my Mac.
I think you may be engaged in circular reasoning, here. Noise, by definition, is what can’t be modeled. The idea would be to have some model of the signal produced by the submarine’s machinery, and use that to reduce the noise (increase SNR) to the point that this nav system becomes useful.
That chart doesn’t say you lose 10% of your market share.

It only says that 10% of your users can’t upgrade to the latest version of your app, which is a totally different proposition.

You say for some companies, this is unacceptable, which is obviously true.

It’s not obviously true for a lot of companies, so it’s worth questioning whether this is just a dogma that is handicapping developers and slowing progress in many cases.
I have been truck shopping lately which means I'm constantly hounded all day long by every dealership in the 4 state region. Last weekend they ALL had "Memorial Day Sales"! So I asked them all about the sale details... Every single one said if I came in they would try to make a deal with me. That's the same thing as no sale. Actually, it is worse for cars where a sale might entail negotiating against a dealer markup.
I am calling it as 90% probability non true based one of the two techniques you can use to validate these type of claims. My claim uses Method B

Method A: Extensive analysis if this is a first account of facts or hearsay (here is the latest anyway). Extensive analysis of evidence, specially with metadata correlation between evidence arriving from different sources and timelines.

Method B: Analysis of instinctive and immediate body language reactions to focused questions.

The president of Medicens sans frontieres, Rowan Gillies, gave a speech once. He had a drawing of a patient and the doctor inside a circle. His comment was 'Other people keep trying to climb into this circle. They can all fuck off.' Excuse his profanity, but I offer this response to you, who knows nothing about what I do, and understands nothing about quality healthcare.
"Irony" kind of implies it was unexpected...
I don’t know. My reading of ancient anti-Christian polemic seems to show that Greeks and Romans familiarized themselves with Jewish sources enough to use them to bolster their arguments. One example being the story of Jesus having been fathered by a Roman soldier named Pantera.
This raises interesting moral questions that I'm not sure I have an answer to.

For one, I don't believe this place fosters a hostile environment, although it's definitely a place where people love to tell you how you're technically wrong about something.

For another, I would guess that there are a very limited number of websites that would opt into this sort of anti-traffic behavior. Hacker news could certainly choose to honor it, but it also feels within their right to bypass the block.

I wonder if there's a sort of middle ground, where HN alerts the user of the redirect that would have occurred, but still shoots the user to the desired location.

But now you're getting into user flows and begging the question as to why the redirect is there in the first place.

I'd love to know more about the perceived hostility, even reading up on Mastodon left me with more questions than answers.
BTW what the heck is a "generational officer"? is that just another way of saying he's from a "military family"?
Classic is right. That period ended with the iPad reveal almost 15 years ago.

Nothing is more entertaining than the meeting after a business presentation where someone fact checks the reference after the power point. When we have vendor presentations, we started doing this because... so many claims, so little truth.
I've been using Fastgen for the past month or so and really enjoy it for basic use cases.

It's pretty much the fastest way to spin up an API. I'd really love to see how this adapts to serving more advanced use cases in the future.

Great work, team!
We hear you, and thanks for making this visible!

As a performance-driven project it’s important for us to understand which operations and use-cases are slowest/buggiest for our users so that we can focus on them. We tried to be very intentional in scoping the telemetry we collect and take this very seriously (telemetry is top-level on both our docs and README).

Happy to hear any feedback on this - we understand it's an important topic.

Reminds me of 2008 Dem primaries. It felt like the media wanted to keep reporting it as being a race between Obama and Hillary, because if they said the truth halfway through the race that "Yeah it's Obama's to win.", they'd get less viewers and less ad money (including political ones...)
Peer review is not a certificate of truthfulness, peer review just says that a grad student reading the paper did not found anything too suspicious there and it looks like a typical paper in that field.
Painful Lesson: Always 'Show and Tell' Your Product Before You Develop It
It's said that amazon asks their product makers to write a press release about the release of the product and work backwards from there.

Working backwards has its uses...

I recently wanted validation on a product I had already finished developing

I thought I needed it so others will too. I put in a lot of time architecting it, designing it with careful UX and UI.

When it came time to show and tell through a demo video i couldn't create a simple enough one that explains what it does.

So anyway I posted it in some communities and people we just confused and nobody signed up.

So I had to abandon the project as there were no takers

Cut to about a week back where I had another idea... This time instead of simply developing it further, I jumped straight to see if I can create a explainer video of the product. So with zero expectations about it working I made one without audio or music or even subtitles and posted on reddit. It was just a screen recording of it working on my laptop.

To my surprise people wanted it. Some even demanding it. I quickly put up a "coming soon" website to capture emails. 36 people gave their emails! Many more I could message on reddit once I am ready.

Here is the link to the reddit post...
https://www.reddit.com/r/EntrepreneurRideAlong/comments/13xm1s5/i_made_this_seo_keyword_searching_thingie_for_my/

here is what I wrote...

-------
Headline: I made this SEO keyword searching thingie for my own needs... Does anyone want it? Its very ugly at the moment

Description: Lets say you want to rank high on Google for the keyword "pet dog care"

Before you write any content, you want to know what questions people ask on Google, Who is ranking on the top 10 and what other keywords do they rank for?, and 'Google Suggestions' for the phrase.

So I made one and I find it damn bloody useful when creating highly relevant and SEO potimised content. Wonder if anyone else finds this stuff useful.

I have been burnt building unnecessary stuff before so I am very careful to validate first now. I will only develop this further is there is any interest here :-)

The ugly video I shared... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-873SkJ2RI

Now I am developing the product into something others could use in collaboration with actual users and i have to do it fast since so many are waiting. This is a first for me. This is probably what product Market fit feels like... probably.
How do you explain the adoption of macs among programmers in general? Especially in universities, macs is all I can see.
I agree about the function names. At least have official alternate long name for the function like wideToUtf8().
> they could just build their own {X}

How are these type of statements not anathema for anyone doing any actual tech work, or any work at all?
Yeah the Intel Macs. I think you had to return them?
Came here to say this. At this point I consider it part of Costco’s brand that I can trust I’m getting close to the lowest possible price for a product when I buy from them. Sure Costco still has it’s own deals and sales pop up on a cadence (for example, never buy tires off-sale because they run the tire sale basically ever 6 weeks, the Traeger event happens something like quarterly, etc.), but overall they’re trustworthy. It’s a huge part of the buying experience with Costco and it generates loyalty over time.
I think your friend may have embellished both the accuracy and the risk (not to say that piloting a sub is completely stress free, obviously).

There are 2 contexts:

On HN, that the majority irrationally hate crypto (the minority irrationally love it), and this re-enforces their views.

In real life, that people have been trying to work out how to run a crypto exchange legally for about a decade. That the SEC is (suddenly and in a change of position) making that impossible. And that playing ball with regulators and trying to do the right thing will now be punished harshly (Coinbase). And people do don't really care will just ignore regulators (Binance).

I honestly don't get why people don't see this. Japan has had decent regs for spot exchanges for a while. They work, FTX Japan creditors are basically fine because of this. <shrugs>

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-17/bankrupt-...

Now people will downvote this or reply with comments that assume all lawsuits are won or that the SEC decides what is legal or that all crypto is bad etc.
I would venture to say he doesn’t want someone dying for the usual reasons, but that isn’t the point. The point is whether or not the state should prevent someone from engaging in risky behavior. That is what the pp thinks is justified due to traffic jams and insurance premiums (etc).
Google Cloud Launches Consulting Services to Help Clients Use AI
Great question. The magic is in the dynamic nature of the breakpoint triggering. If you want to SSH into a CI machine you need to know ahead of time that you want to investigate that machine and pause execution while it's going.

With the debugger, you set conditional rules like - 'if this fails - then trigger debugger and hold machine' - instead of trying to catch lightning in a bottle - it waits for you.

They could create better modding tools, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Yeah, not really. Not at all. I've been building critical infrastructure for a few decades now and was all down to Java, C++ or both with some minor languages as support.

Anything else is from startups that grew big and simultaneously polarized about their language decisions. Those decisions are tied to whatever lifestyle or political statement, more than a sane engineering decision that addresses technical debt in the future.

The USAF and the Pentagon themselves released those videos, labeling those recording as "unexplainable".

> In that era they actively killed off relationships with gaming companies, e.g. the game that eventually became Halo was originally a Macintosh exclusive.

That was Microsoft's doing, not Apple's. Microsoft scooped up Bungie to make Halo an Xbox exclusive (at least initially). This purportedly angered Steve Jobs, who probably wasn't too into gaming himself but understood the appeal it might have to consumers.
Is there an objective reason to find infanticide worse than abortion, besides cultural mores? It's worse for the performer, certainly, because you have to look at it before you kill it, but a newborn doesn't have any more personality than a fetus.
Yes, also, while I have only worked on military boats and never on subs, I can straight away tell you that anyone who would know anything remotely interesting or close to the cutting edge regarding inertial navigation system for subs wouldn't be able to talk about it.

It's one of these subjects where you will never get anything better that vague press releases designed to justify research budgets.
You need a second product or service that can't be given away for free. It needs to fit perfectly: Buying B with A should make sense in some sub set of cases. B must not be required to use A.

I've seen only one free software that solved the puzzle completely perfectly* It does mean it can be done but it seems hard enough that one should probably explore picking B before A.

* IIRC It was a desktop Payroll software that only displays ONE advertisement for a lone but only when you have insufficient funds to pay your employees, it does a credit rating based on previous salaries paid and previous financing, there are no forms to fill out as your info is already in the application. I think one can also pay the installments from the application.

In that situation the offer seems completely perfect. A button to press that completely solves your problem when you have it.

I used to be greatly tempted by the fermi paradox, but upon learning about limitations we have observing the skies.... I believe the entire fermi paradox talk, is just steeming from the fact that we think too highly of ourselves as a civilisation and the efford we put into observing the skies.

Most people, including myself until recently, don't realise that most of our astrophysics/space science is very limited to our immediate close promixity in the cosmological scale.

Correct me if I am wrong but we are only able to do science around the other stars in the Milky way (e.g. exoplanet observations)

Beyond Milky way, all the light from the stars are collapsed into a single blob along with the rests of the stars in their home galaxy.

No need for SF for this line of reasoning. You don't need to know anything about electricity, or physics, to turn on a light switch, or activate autopilot in a car. But a certain amount of understanding and craftsmanship is required to maintain things in working condition. If it's something discovered, you need a reverse-engineer the thing.

It look like the most anticipated Ukrainian offensive had begun, but was blunted by the Russians
After this occurred, it stands to reason that the Ukrainian government would like a reason for not losing any more men and material so why not blow up the dam and damage most of the defensive positions the Russians had prepared and give an excuse for not going on with the offensive.
And of course ask for more money and weapons so who did this benefit and you don’t have to be a mental giant to figure out that this was more damaging to Russia and the Crimea than to Ukraine.

And remember, we were all told that the Russia blew up its own pipe line in the North Sea as well, confirmed by US officials both military and state department, of course they would not lie to us again right?

Look at the lay of the land and facts, the Crimean region relies on that water for agriculture and industrial/domestic water supplies much more than the Ukraine does.

Think for yourselves and don’t be led around by politically motivated people.
Or maybe they should adapt to the future. When everyone has recovered from this cancer. And we're finally allowed to be in the moment again, and are no no longer expected to keep diddling our phones all day.
Right, so your point about people not having hallucinations frequently is valid. But most people do see optical illusions.

So it seems strange that you have jumped to the conclusion that these must be real UFOs since most people do not hallucinate.
Lenovo has entered the chat.

This is everything in the Lenovo online store.
