None of this looks "photorealistic". The creatures look hilarious and the paper is not well written either.

"Each part generator is either a transpiled node-graph,
or a non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS). NURBS
parameter-space is high-dimensional, so we randomize
NURBS parameters under a factorization inspired by lofting,
composed of deviations from a center curve. To tune the
random distribution, we modelled 30 example heads and
bodies, and ensured that our distribution supports them."

This strikes me as a fairly random approach. No wonder why those creatures look the way they do. I fail to see why this is worth a scientific paper as it appears to be no more than a student project with a number of contributors across different fields. Building a (somewhat) procedually based asset library has been done countless times before by game dev studios big and small.
> ...ultimately workers that set that standard, as they are doing now, by fighting for it.

Until it becomes a union shop, then it is the union organizers setting the standard - sitting between those in a position to pay and those seeking pay. These union bosses are surely paragons of incorruptibility with the workers' best interest driving their actions.

Then you haven't been paying attention for the last 30 years. These are things that have been seriously discussed in the opinion molding class quite publicly for a long time now. Remember the push for "rewilding"? That didn't go away, it just got rebadged as "15-minute cities". The WEF now openly promotes a "Great Reset" where-in everything is effectively rented. Businesses that have been trying to get people to eat their bug food have complained about packaging requirements, as nobody wants their accurately labeled products. Not to worry though, "climate change" driven legislation seems to be attacking all the alternative sources of protein. These aren't conspiracy theories, it is a plain reading of publicly available documents put out by these people for years.

What's interesting is we're currently training AI on how to use vector databases. Next generation LLMs trained on GitHub from the era of LangChain and FOSS vector DBs will be able to self-program their own long term memory recall. I don't think that just chunking and storing vectors for all of the text the LLM reads is the best approach, but it might be able to apply a strategy to each unique situation that is more optimal.
What does the author mean with containers? This articke seems little content.
A container is basically never a bad idea. Serverless will drive how your application behaves and how it is written and seriously affect anything else. However, containers is just a matter of deployment and what substrate is used.
I can deploy an application into a container on my vps or any of those hosted solutions out there.
The article groups these together unnecessarily. I agree with the matter of vendor lockin though.
I didn't pick up any hatred until I got to your post.
Algorithmic content promotion is fundamentally antithetical to Mastodon's intent, as well as most other Fediverse systems:

You know best what you want to see on your home feed. No algorithms or ads to waste your time. Follow anyone across any Mastodon server from a single account and receive their posts in chronological order, and make your corner of the internet a little more like you.

<https://joinmastodon.org/>

This doesn't mean that someone couldn't create an algorithmic Fediverse server, which would ingest a large number of feeds and then specifically surface particular posts and/or profiles to people. It's just that that's not the present project's philosophy, and you'd probably find any such instance defederated by most other instances.

There are a few ways you can follow topical rather than profile-based content, and several others may be emerging.

- Mastodon has recently enabled subscribing to hashtags. So long as others are tagging content reliably, you can see discussion on a specific topic, either in its own stream (as a pinned Hashtag) or within your Home stream.

- There are several group-based services, with gup.pe (<https://a.gup.pe/>) which allow people to subscribe to a feed on a specific theme or topic. You follow the group, and post specific topics to that group --- the overall function is much like a mailing list. Chirp.social and Qoto are similar services.

- There's an upcoming roadmap feature for MAS-15 labeled "Groups" though I' don't know what functionality is included under that. <https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap> There's at least one open issue (<https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/139>) which ... has some discussion, and points to an essay on the topic: <https://raphael-jolivet.name/en/blog/groups-in-mastodon-and-...>. (I've included some information from that above, and recommend reading it.)

But algorithmically-selected content is simply not what Mastodon is about. If that's your desire, find a service which provides that.

It’s still very clearly wasted though? That money could have gone to more profitable and genuinely innovative businesses that benefit society, instead of startups that were meant to tank from the very beginning. And money isn’t the only resource being wasted here but time. There are also plenty of companies that fail so hard that employees, to whom you believe the wealth trickles down to, are left with nothing to show for what they have supposedly done there, and could even cost them reputation-wise in their careers. This arrangement is hardly anything that the working class should be thankful for.

Eh.

If I'm running nginx on Debian I have to worry about Debian and Debian's version of nginx. If I'm running an nginx container on Debian I have to worry about Debian, Debian's container manager, the runtime nginx is containerized with, and the version of nginx in the container.

The release cadence of Debian is well-known and can be planned around. The release cadence of an nginx container is not well-known, and is another thing the intern can configure wrong (I still shudder every time I see shops use "FROM foo:latest" in production, which is shockingly common). Not to mention the addition of an entire new class of supply chain vulnerabilities to worry about/mitigate (yes, I can build my own container, but I can also just build my own .deb file).

When I wrote in October that Mark Zuckerberg was going to kill his company, the street responded in kind, savaging Meta’s stock for burning cash building a metaverse that was never going to exist.

No.. that "responded" is far too causative. you observed a state of being which others observed and acted on independently: your writing is gold but the street did not "respond" to your writing. That's chutzpah.

If your meaning is "when the market saw what I saw, the market responded" that's fine. You don't define the market.
Amazing demonstration of yet another example of things that just work better in 3D.

While I can't speak for every manager, I can speak for myself managing a hybrid team going on 5 years now (obvious disclaimer, not necessarily the views of my company etc)

> Imagine being an IC software developer and being stuck on dial up. That’s what it’s like to be a manager in a remote environment.

This is hyperbolic. I would also suggest it takes some autonomy and responsibility away from managers to adapt and learn new ways for building an understanding of your engineers. If adapting to remote is problematic, adapting to employees with dramatically different methods of thinking and communication (of which there are many) will also be problematic.

Are there challenges? Sure. From my perspective, the largest among them likely being the loss of organic opportunities to casually interact and build rapport, such as over lunch. The second worth mentioning is the friction added to nonverbal communication. (Onboarding is one of the most critical places these hit, but they're ongoing headwinds as well.) But neither of these are in any way insurmountable, or even high on the list of "things that keep me up at night" managing a team.
At the risk of a simple answer, I've found they're usually well addressed by intentionally making opportunities to just... interact, and of course finding what works for an individual dev, with a team-wide emphasis on async methods of alignment, knowledge sharing, and consistency/coordination.

None of the things you mentioned, what a dev is doing, what they want and need, should have in-person as a requirement. The statement of "more intrusive" is especially ironic, as I find knocking on an office door and interrupting flow, or bugging someone in the hallway or over lunch "what's the status of X" far more intrusive than having a good process and cadence and ongoing awareness for work being done, and trusting/cultivating engineers to reach out if something comes up. (These are systems which, to emphasize my point, come very naturally when one is supporting a remote or hybrid team, but have broad benefit.) I'd add as well that "is someone smiling" is an... extremely lossy and unreliable heuristic for knowing your engineer, to put it more gently than I probably should.

The funny part with all this said: Your core point, that managers are contributing to the RTO push, potentially has some truth to it. (although I'm inclined to disagree that it's THE major component just knowing the discussions and tax implications between legislators/business owners/bigcos in my own city, it's totally a guess on my part) I've just been reading a bunch of posts lately that seem to defend what is, in my eyes, a cop-out for a manager who should be adapting to far more than remote on a day-by-day basis, resulting in concrete costs both for employees in location/commute and for managers in being unable to hire high quality remote engineers, and this being said so overtly pushed me to write this wall-of-text.

No, I just think markets are more complicated, fluid and flexible than critiques like this make it seem. I'm old enough to have witnessed numerous decades-long waves of hype pouring money into sclerotic companies that, at the time, everyone assumed were immortal no matter how corrupt and terrible their decision-making had become - only to watch over and over again as the giants fell. I feel like every wave is accompanied by a sense of hopelessness that things will never change, and then in seemingly an instant, they do change.

I'm relatively sanguine that Google and Uber will be replaced by something better (something that's not a con game), and that the people who invest in garbage will end up losing to newer, more agile players. That's how it's always seemed to me when you look at any given 5-10 year horizon. The short term is always frothy.

I almost never invest in tech companies... except if I'm looking to make a few quick bucks on some new hype (e.g. I bought Google with a 2-week horizon right after Microsoft announced Bing's AI bot, and after Google took a huge hit because the market overreacted; turned and sold it for a 10% profit). (The exception for me is medical tech which I'm willing to take several-years-long shots on). I sit on real estate and utilities and the odd manufacturer or retailer with a history of increasing dividends, and watch the wilds of the NASDAQ with a daily mixture of jealousy and schadenfreude - because I know my own risk tolerance.

Markets are made of people. Companies are made of people. Poor incentives and deception do indeed lead to catastrophic losses and inefficiencies. Corrections are made. Fools and their money are parted.

I don't have a hatred of criticism of any sort. I do however think there's a smell when someone walks away after losing at the table and complains about the game.

It's true, but for any serious project, you set up tool chains for utilizing those files in pipelines for local servers, commit hooks, and build steps.

Wait, all you want is for Apple to not stand in your way when installing a different operating system on your iPhone? Sure, I'm all for that. I wouldn't expect Apple to be obligated to document the hardware or write drivers for you. You're probably not going to get Apple to give you the source code for Face ID or the secure enclave. But I agree that there's no reason why Apple should make it difficult to install an entirely different operating system.

That's got nothing to do with what you've being saying though.

This is bizarre. Cloud functions are really the easiest way to deploy code to the internet. Compare that with the other extreme of building a house to host physical servers, hiring staff to maintain them, picking hardware and operating systems, creating procurement and maintenance procedures to keep both up to date. You have to deal with considerable amounts of HVAC design, hiring contractors, etc.

Usually, every country has a group of local “payment-gateway” services/vendors.
