I wonder if the LLM could at least reliably label something as "smells funny," and then you could have human labelers only work on that smaller, refined batch. But like you said, PII is a concern. In any case, at the rate its going, does anyone really doubt that LLMs one or two years out will have the same problem?

The game was unknown for ~2 years (Released 2018, picked up ~2020) until it got picked up by streamers and was catapulted into the spotlight.

Why is it so hard to believe there are more games out there like this? These kind of markets are nowhere near efficient.

Yes, completely agreeing with that.
That's a good list. But the really awesome managers are the ones that show their empathetic leadership during a crisis. If I may add a few things about crisis management:

- They take the blame for failures publicly ("the team failed") and then coach individuals privately.

- They are willing to speak upwards to call out BS or to offer suggestions, even if it affects their own standing in the organization.

- They clearly communicate expectations, the "why" of the expectation, and explain how situation within the company may have changed.

- If there is a PIP, layoff or something else coming, they socialize the news subtly so that their reports start looking before the axe falls.

A leader looks after their team, until the last day. Managers only look after themselves.

I do love the idea of exploring behavior, though I remember checking this site out a couple years ago and didn't quite understand the state machine language they were introducing. I should give it another shot though because it seems like it could be super useful.
I agree. It seems like a legitimate collective-action problem. Team network effects do matter, and the medium of the network does matter.
Yeah string of them actually. I think they concluded pretty early that I can be trusted and am competent and left me up to my own devices for the most part. Some coaching too but pretty light touch.

In all cases there seemed to be 100% overlap with what I’d describe as a “genuine good human”. Plus ofc competent too. Good leadership in the classic corporate sense felt somewhat secondary

Yes, this is the most important point from an organizational point of view. If only for that, accepting to be so tied to a single individual is a concern.
Its actually probably more of a situation that a client cant discern quality. Its impossible to tell if the most expensive or least expensive if the best option. How does a non technical/semi technical actually grade this stuff appropriately?

It won't, at least not in terms of money. Most people's indiosyncracies aren't conducive to making enough money to sustain oneself - that's why we have the job market, where people sell their time, and spend it doing stuff that other people actually want to pay for.

I don't think that Tupperware is downfall was that it lasted too long, because it doesn't I've had plenty of Tupperware pieces that I've gotten from my parents and grandparents that have failed and we're kind of broken when I got them. Additionally, there's always an ever-expanding market of people to buy new Tupperware I think one of their primary problems was their sales model of Tupperware parties. That may have worked well to bootstrap it but as the market changed they should have changed with it. The other problem is that Tupperware is lifetime warrantied so when you have a broken or failing piece of Tupperware you just get it replaced for free. Well that lifetime warranty is a great selling point it becomes a downside when you're replacing the product after 20 years.

I very much like buy it for Life products but I don't expect some products to last or be warrantied literally forever. Many tool brands have been brought down buy the same thing. Especially ones that are geared toward home users instead of professional mechanics. If I have to replace a tupperware container every 20 or 30 years I think I've gotten my value out of it.

Other brands also start to fail under this own weight of legacy. Because there are people who know and remember that certain brands have lifetime warranties and you can pick these things up at thrift stores for pennies on the dollar even when they're broken or damaged and get a brand new one.
You might want to glance again because all of those results are for a different product.

There isn't one but we are not collecting multiple package versions for no reason and since python itself cannot well handle multiple versions of packages they are only allowed outside of pythonPackages where all end user applications should live.

I don't think anyone else cares about what you care about either. Get over yourself! People develop projects. They have fun. Users find the tools that work for them. Nobody really appointed you as the person to worry about what options users have. Users are doing fine looking for options that work for them. They will try out Lemmy. Lemmy may improve or it might not and users may find something else. That's the way the FOSS world works.

Like I am not going to join Lemmy because I don't like the UI/UX issues of Lemmy and I also don't like how communities are dependent on specific instances. If the instance goes down or rogue, the community is affected. But that doesn't mean I am going to disparage their efforts which they are putting in to serve their own needs. If I was so motivated to improve the condition of their UI/UX, I will send pull requests, not talk about it. Talk is cheap!

This is a volunteer-driven FOSS project for christ's sake! Nobody is pretending anything about that!

fwiw, NixOS does not support reproducible builds as defined by the Reproducible Builds project. They support reproducible environments/configuration/deployments or how you want to describe it.
> Over the years we got experience and we learn a lot from the people doing this event before, setting a schedule to start meetings, having a base of providers, having contacts to ask for space, etc. Our budget was 0 (yes it is a zero) and all cost should be paid by us, the organizers. So to recover that we made t-shirts, and souvenirs (that needed to be paid in advance) then maybe you didn't lost money when the event was finished. Because people didn't pay a ticket for it, it is a free event.

> It was a huge effort to make something like that. Months sleeping few hours, people going crazy to setup tracks for talks, approving them and talking to the people that gave the talk to accommodate the schedule. Having the t-shirts on time and the souvenirs, because if not, we will not broke, but we cannot recover the founds. Having the cables and the network ready, the software and servers to install was also a huge task.

> Food and water..? Yes, that is a crazy nightmare

Something to think about: maybe getting everyone to pay a token sum wouldn't be such a bad idea. It helps with guaranteeing attendance, which helps with knowing exactly how much food to cater.

You can give everyone a T-shirt or some other swag to make sure they get their money's worth, and offer free tickets (or volunteering opportunities) to those who genuinely can't afford to pay, but who would take the trouble to write in.

I'm 45 and I think this headline is total nonsense.

How do Harris Polls work? If it's asking mainly Americans who use Facebook and answer unsolicited phone calls, then that's a particular sample that is not representative of the whole.

I was always fascinated by the internet as a kid as soon as I found out about it, just as much as I was with microcomputers.

I guess there are a lot of social media things that I never totally figured out though. Like most of them. Probably still don't really understand HN even. But love to ramble on here.

But also the headline is misleading if you read the article.

I clicked on the article and read it though so maybe that's the whole point of what seemed to just be a poor article and headline.

I suspect that some Gen Xers may be more enthusiastic about certain aspects of the internet or technology such as AR and AI since we have the perspective of previous versions being so relatively weak. So the new stuff is exciting in comparison.

Whereas for kids, I suppose some of them may be disappointed or unimpressed due to really high expectations for technology.
That's a fair argument, I was one of the backers and I pretty much stopped playing the game (long) before it was released (still well spent money).

I think games like that, where it's a small team and they grow to great success from essentially just word of mouth, are very much lightning in a bottle. It's not just a case of good game design, it's the right kind of game for the time, and well as a fair amount of luck that the snowball starts rolling at the start. It is true that the conditions have more or less never been better for it to happen (arguably it was easier before the market was as saturated as it is now), it's just very rare for it to happen to any given game, even with good execution.
On some post-2017 non-HDR Apple displays, the OS actually dynamically adjusts the screen's gamma curve to simulate this effect. On machines that support this, if you hold Option down while opening the Display control panel, there's an additional option that appears to enable/disable this.
In the modern digital era, that has actually changed quite a bit. Now cameras are really sensitive – the equivalent of what used to be 2500 to 4000 ISO is now really common – so instead of adding light, often you have to flag off light in areas you want dark.

So instead of many bright lights you just have duvetyne and flags everywhere, which many DoPs have complained is harder to work with.

>How are software developers supposed to put a roof over their head and food on the table if software can't be privatized?

If an plumber or electrician smartly comes up with a certain configuration or the like how is it that he still makes money when someone else can come in to learn from it? When someone completely unrelated can come in to fix it when it breaks? When someone completely unrelated can copy it even?

I'd say overly restrictive copyright has not protected innovation but hampered it. It potentially says do not build, iterate, improve on such things for way too long in way too many ways.

As a software developer I have benefited plenty from this. I've also probably lost out a lot due to it in the countless little interactions and price calculations that make up our life.

No, I'm not taking a stance on drugs. I'm not saying him losing $18k as a fine would be a problem.

I'm saying that the police requisitioning his $18k and that money going towards the department budget creates perverse incentives for the police. If that money went to funding schools the problem would be much less severe. But when the head of the police department gets CAF money added to the top line of his budget, it will shape the way he directs his force, and the incentives it gives him are wrong.
Don't misquote me... You can leave value behind, specially in technical fields, without drawing in office politics and corporate play.
I don't think you understand correctly. Yes, most of the money gets eaten up by the legal team, but a judge has to sign off on it. Class action lawsuits just seem like they are very expensive.

But without the ability to split the lawyer fees among the entire group suing, it's unlikely they would get anything, because each case cannot support its own legal fees, let alone any recovery.

You're right, this is a problem.

However you can look at the same logic from a different perspective: If you're playing an AAA game, you're playing a game made for everyone - and therefore for no one. This is why some people (including me) aren't fans of AAA games.

Imagine the world (future) where material costs of most things are insignificant and majority of the cost of your food will be paying the designers of this food. Would you want to eat the same, bland (can't be too spicy, can't have particular ingredients-allergens, has to be safe for children…) stuff everyone else eats? Or would you develop a taste for something more niche?

Due to high budgets, the companies also don't want to take risks, that's why indie games are innovative (and that's why indie games fail more often?).

Here are some details of group, class and collective arbitration proceedings in the US https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en/knowledge/publication...

Bottom line is because arbitration is a bilateral process between the parties to a contract, both sides would need to agree to turn it into a collective arbitration. A class arbitration would be if one representative of the class took action on behalf of everyone (who didn't opt out) of that class.

As a user I also want sustainable software, and for that developers have to also have their cake too.

Where's the equilibrium point? Hard to say, obviously. Usually both users (and other downstream consumers, ie. other developers) and the actual developers of free & open software suffer from a serious information deficit. Users have crazy demands (see any random half-successful project's issue tracker), but also principled developers seriously underestimate the purchasing power of their user base, and useful overlap of common interests.

I still believe that it's possible to build real alternatives to the hyperscale giants, but I have no illusions about doing it with "just focus on the code and principles", just going to comfy conferences funded by said giants, and so on.
Maybe we will pay attention to lifestyles when obesity reaches 90% of the population. It’s only half right now.
The ratio of the distribution of said fruits is an issue as you've stated but just as importantly there's an alienation between the worker and the thing they produce.

Workers who make luxury goods are rarely in a position where they could afford to buy them, even if they saved.

Assembly lines have optimised away the satisfaction and achievement of building something. Tightening the same screw for 12 hours is nothing other than an attack on the psyche. The same is happening in construction, skilled trades that people took pride in have been chopped up and optimised to the point that the guy that hangs the drywall often isn't able to skim it.

I take issue with a system that relies on the constant threat of homelessness and hunger purely to the benefit of those who face no such worries. A system that weaponises that threat to force many to.

The thought of technological progress and automation should bring joy, we imagine that it means people needing to work less, improving their quality of life. The reality has been swathes of people left in poverty while the rich get richer.

Consider the impact and ethics of replacing cleaning staff with foreign workers who are themselves training their AI replacement[0]. The idea of automating this is fantastic when considered independently of our economic system but issues quickly arise when put in context.

How does it affect the people currently doing the job, who now have to compete with workers being paid far less than the cost of living in their own country?

Which country's minimum wage laws should apply?

What are the ramifications of having those workers train their own AI replacements?

Who ultimately benefits from all of this? Does the reduced demand for labour lead to a better work life balance for the wider society, or does it simply make a few people ever more wealthy while creating destitution for the majority?

I don't think compromise itself is a reaffirmation of our values. Compromise often erodes values. Disagreement prioritizes values.

I think generally we have the same values. Honesty, transparency, integrity, expediency, travel, etc. However what we don't share is priority of them. To the author's point, do you value having pets more than you value freedom to travel? Reasonable people could disagree. And there is compromise to be had, but if you're not careful you can get the worst of both worlds by trying to split the difference.
