I'm not trying to demonstrate that my claims are true. I'm trying to demonstrate that it is meaningless to discuss these topics in the first place, because we don't understand the workings of the mind nearly well enough to distinguish things like "truthfulness" and "concepts".
> iron oxide. Which means you first have to put in energy to reduce it to pure iron

And the article doesn't even hint at any way to do this using renewable energy. Which makes me suspect that no such process exists.
The OSI's definition is not like a heavenly authority. It's not a trademark, so I can call something "open source" even if I put it in the license file that you aren't allowed to use it if you are a red panda. (which is usage discrimination)

What OSI says and what I am allowed to call open source are not the same things.
Probably not since it's not even remotely on topic and it just sounds like you have an axe to grind.
The Bungie purchase isn’t puzzling if you look at Sony’s future trajectory. They have 10 or so live-service titles in development, and have stated very openly that they aim to greatly expand their offerings in that area going forward. There are only a handful of studios that have created successful live service games and even fewer that haven’t leant on popular existing IP (such as Call of Duty: Warzone) to do so, Bungie (and Epic) are pretty much the pioneers in this space, and Bungie have learnt a lot from their trials cultivating the Destiny franchise.

Sony purchased Bungie to essentially teach them how to make successful live service games, not for the IP. They hold so much power inside PlayStation studios that they, as per the recent The Last of Us factions leaks, review and determine if a multiplayer title meets their requirements for success (factions didn’t).

I don’t think it’s a good thing (as I personally disapprove of the way Destiny operates & see a focus on these sorts of games from Sony as a major blunder) but the business logic of the purchase is obvious.
I agree that is a fundamental difference. That’s what I meant about reinforcement learning. Our ‘model weights’ are being updated with new data all the time.

It is not more costly than having Hoovervilles and desperate people living hand to mouth in a world of rapidly advancing technology which was the promise of this whole societal endeavor to begin with. The governments of this world already subsidize the production costs of corporations to the tune of billions of dollars a year so they can continue to "make profit" from their productive efforts they would otherwise be failing at in spectacular fashion.

- Autos
- Airlines
- Banks
- Farming

They all require massive injections of liquidity for the purpose of subsidizing poor stewardship. "Costs" is not a feasible excuse for continued economic oppression.

This is first I've heard of Obsidian, and looking at the web page I sort of maybe get what it does. But to help me out, can you describe what you use it does for you. I didn't see any references to citations or the like that zotero is mainly for. Is it just a note app? If so, what makes it so good?
This prediction comes from comparing offices to malls - and the future 17 years of demand for office space to recent changes in shopping traffic at malls. Clearly good logic.
This is a pyramid scheme that only works until you run out of undeveloped land. Also, this is already done in the form of suburban sprawl. You generate a bounded one off income but end up burdened with yearly maintenance obligations that never end.

Instead of doing this, it would be far more logical to just charge for the services being provided in the form of a yearly fee proportional to the amount of land that is being occupied.
I agree with this sentiment. As much as it lags the competition, it would be doing even worse had they not marketed the ever loving crap out of their flagship Halo. Remember I Love Bees?
Why would I buy these over the $200-$300ish Rigol/Chinese ones? A lot of them are pretty decent, and compete with the 'big boys'
Most of the studios Sony bought were “2nd party” - i.e. they predominantly made games only for PlayStation. The effect on competing consoles was minimal - their game never made it to non-Sony consoles anyway; this was a different era where porting games was very painful since the hardware can vary radically between consoles.

Imagine the layout of a large office building. Some of them have the same footprint as an entire city block. The "empty cores" make up the majority of the interior of the building itself, it can't all be repurposed as storage areas.

I feel like the notion "the govt should turn empty offices into housing!!" comes up on places like reddit _all_ the time, it takes very little explanation to show why it's not that simple.

The Nintendo Switch is an easy choice if one wants a mix of at-home and mobile gaming and are able to find games w/in its catalog which suit.

I just wish someone would make a motion-controlled RPG which had:

- the exploration and immersive story of Xenoblade Chronicles

- the amazing imagery and intricate puzzles of Pandora's Tower

- the endless grinding potential of The Last Story

- on-going content like to Diablo 3's Seasons

- the fluid transition between ranged combat and melee of Red Steel 2

- the wonderful archery of Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the Wii

and a story/world where constant replays make sense --- say something like to the Gates of C.J. Cherryh's Morgaine books.

Are you saying this because quantum mechanics is random in some interpretations and is our most fundamental theory?

That’s a bit of a stretch when we don’t actually know if QM is objectively random, but it could be sure. But then what about things like, is it random that 1+1=2. No…what are you really saying is random when a human answers this? I think even if you make the assumption QM is objectively random, thought is the hard problem after all and we might not want to jump so far head. Math certainly isn’t random and we can think about it.
Of course they are useful, but the utility is broader than you think. Those skills are just as easily used for rationalization, eg. "Lies, damn lies, and statistics."

I think this is incomplete on a number of levels. For a start, to be interesting, “truth” has to be something than just whatever your eyes can see. There have been wars (culture, economic, kinetic, etc) fought to define something as a truth.

The concept of truth is notoriously hard for humans to grapple with. How do we know something is true isn’t just a neurobiological question, it’s been grappled with throughout the history of philosophy — including major revisions of our understanding in the past 80 years.

> people smoking crack are easy to spot as you don’t roll crack in a cigarette, you smoke it out of a heated glass pipe. It looks entirely different.

This isn't entirely accurate, as crack isn't the only drug people use "crack pipes" for. I couldn't tell you what, if anything, crack smells like because I'm not aware of having every been in the vicinity of it being consumed, but I have been around people using what look like crack pipes and I've used them myself too.

In my case: a few times I tried vaping weed with them (though for weed an electric dry herb vape is better, and if wanting to use glass pipe and a flame there are designed-for-weed vapes which are better than generic crack-type pipes), and DMT is another illegal drug that needs (when in pure form, rather than changa) to be vaped rather than smoked - so a crack pipe can be useful for that too. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other drugs that sort of pipe can be used for, too.

Personally I wouldn't use that sort of "crack" pipe in public, partly because many people think like you that it must be crack that's being used, and partly because even people who dont have that incorrect belief could still rightly (or at least, almost always rightly) deduce that something illegal is being consumed.

I do not believe that you tried to figure out which was more powerful and it was not immediately obvious. MS even made a page comparing them and highlights the differences: one can do 12 teraflops the other 4. One does 4k the other only 1440p.

Yes the names are not as easy to compare as PS5 vs PS4, but upon cursory investigation it's blatantly obvious that the X is more powerful than the S.

Having spent many years in the windows land I definitely get where you're coming from. However, I find the Unix way where everything is a file, much simpler to work with.

Just take a simple task of copying a subset of some system's configuration to another one. On Unix it's just a matter of copying some files. On Windows (and our imaginary is that provides object storage) we would need to find the relevant objects, then write a script to export/import it (or mess with export/import tools for a while).

Personally I see "everything is a file" as strength not weakness. In addition to my personal preference having a centralised configuration system not only restricts in many ways, presents a potential performance bottleneck, but also is an extra point of failure.

Additionally, I think most Unix software uses a fairly simple text format for config files. There really is little reason for using anything else. If you need complex data structures use YAML. I've found many more proprietary binary config file formats on Windows (despite registry) than on Unix. So if the os would make something like this available there would still be no guarantee all apps use it. It would just be an extra thing to deal with for little benefit IMO.
I believe the religious reply to this would be that G-d created us as unique individuals, with our own ways to contribute and our own unique growth path that requires overcoming unique challenges.

Or are you suggesting people don't get all the calories they eat from plans? I don't think this is true.
But this is intellectual gymnastics though, because the GPL cover the redistribution of the code, which is the topic here.

If I commercialize GPL code and say in my TOS that you cannot redistribute the code <or something bad will happen>, then I'm adding a restriction to the code redistribution, and it doesn't matter what kind of “bad thing” it is, as the GPL says “any further restrictions”.

I am completely over the idea of storing secrets inside of one of these 3rd party systems. I've currently got a team member writing an internal secret storage app for our organization.

Creating a SQL schema with a "Secrets" table and maybe some audit logging and organizational extras should take a seasoned developer ~30 minutes. Throwing a CRUD web app on top of this and making it accessible to your employees - maybe another day or 2.

I really don't know why you'd risk this sort of stuff with a 3rd party. It just boggles my mind. What are they doing that you can't do? Even a 3 person startup can probably find time around a weekend to knock this out once and for all.

Edit: clearly I missed an important point. We don't care about browser integration. I am not going for 1:1 feature replacement. If you seriously believe "a safe place to keep internal text" is an extremely hard problem that absolutely must be outsourced, I don't know why you would even be involved in technology.
Correlation is not causation. If punishment is causing the recidivism then you'd expect an increase in punishment to increase recidivism. It doesn't. You also need to compare prevention with recidivism. Optimal approaches prevent the crime in the first place.
The language you use matters very little. It's how you use it. PHP's not at fault here, even if they used Java or another language their incompetence would still be the issue.
This seems to be an interesting approach.

Why do you suggest this path over documentating the behavior explicitly?

What makes one approach better the other? Is it faster to run a trace? Should a developer trace their own code and auto-generate documentation post-build?
No, GPT-4 isn’t reasoning about the language standard (as a language lawyer or otherwise), because GPT-4 does not reason about anything. All it does is pick the most likely next token, given the ones that have come before. Very few people talk about INTERCAL on the internet, so it has very little training data to go on. It keeps regurgitating parts of the documentation and the wiki page because that’s all it has.

For example, the line “… the `%50` operation (which in INTERCAL means to mingle the bits of two 16-bit numbers) …” is nonsense because the mingle operation is denoted by a “¢” character, not a “%”. All the language model knows is that the tokens “to mingle the bits of two 16-bit numbers” are likely to follow “which in INTERCAL means”.
Apologies, that part was primarily intended for home users. Google certainly isn't targeting that demographic, there are much larger ones to go after.

If you're forced to use Drive at work, Google isn't targeting you either. It's targeting the C-suites above you who buy the software, and they don't know what Markdown is. The fact that engineers are lamenting the lack of Markdown in Google Drive shows how much influence they have over those decisions.

Not the point of the article, but the script can be written more concisely:

#!/usr/bin/env raku

run «git switch $_», :!out, :!err and last for <main master>;

run «git branch -d $_» for run(<git branch --merged>, :out).out.lines».trim.grep: !*.starts-with: '*';

> and because you will want to use external libraries for that, and package management for scripting languages is terrible.

I'm not sure Raku can be called a scripting language, although it can be used as one.

Also I would like to know which parts of package management in Raku are terrible, I'm sure it helps people improve it, since Raku implementation and tooling are young.
And that’s the key here. It’s easy to meet “climate goals” when you offshore production to countries with zero pollution laws.
The funny thing is even as a consumer that understands all the confusing branding and power differences, I would still buy the cheaper system if it had compelling games to play compared to the PS5…it just doesn’t, and when it comes to first party titles everything Microsoft puts out is mid at best (Halo), or downright awful (Redfall). I also own a Nintendo Switch and I think I own more games on that than any other console I’ve owned in my entire life so raw power is t an issue for me. I want to want to buy an Xbox but the most important thing (games) just is t there. I may still buy one when Starfield comes out because it would be more expensive to build a gaming PC to play it (mac user), but I’m waiting to find out from reviews if it lives up to the (admittedly impressive from what they’ve shown) stuff they’ve shown off recently.
It's not the real estate we need or can afford, but the only one we get.
Ahhhh gotcha. So you see the us invasion of Iraq as totally ok but the Russian invasion of Ukraine as against the law.

>>> History has quite a few examples of proofs believed to be correct for years that turned out to be flawed.

That is pretty much what I meant by "tend" to be right. If only a third of all the software out there had "an error" that would be a dramatic improvement.

It's a big market, but is it really competing with other forms of gaming? As an analogy, if someone were buying up all the oven manufacturers, would it matter that microwaves were more widely used?
Programming gets "easier" because there's more to do. You need a scalable way to write software quicker because there are many more use cases that 20 years ago nobody though of.

You don't want spend anymore 6 month to write your UI interface for example, something that probably was ok to do 20 years ago.

It doesn't get easier, you just have more abstraction that helps to quickly build applications.

If it gets easier, it's easier for young folks too

By that logic, a deterministic computer program wouldn’t need inputs.

What is being claimed by a deterministic world model is that the output (behavior and internal state change) of a human is a pure function of its current state and inputs. Then we try to give inputs that will lead to desired outputs.

The non-compatibilist view of free will is that it is not a pure function, namely that there is a third independent factor, the “free will”, that influences the behavior (and possibly the internal state). If that is the case, there may never be a way to choose inputs that lead to the desired outputs, because the free will could simply void their effect.
Indeed. The web UI is awful at this. If you look at the devtools when you select many files, you can see that there's one synchronous web request per file.
