It's not valid criticism though. You just said:

> I haven’t found a single scenario where the game wasn’t unfinished, janky and/or just plain unfun.

You could easily find lots of problems even with hugely successful games like Vampire Survivors or Enter the Gungeon. I'm fully confident that given a random assortment of fun, polished, shipped games that didn't go viral, you'll be able to come up with a long list of complaints.

And hope OpenAI forever provides the service, and at a reasonable price, latency, and volume?
Depends on country. UK is every three months.
I found this rather profound and moving. It makes me reflect on my own motivations in creative work. It’s interesting that you’ve come full circle - from living with a need to be seen through your work, to recognizing that that is an unhealthy driving force, and then back to accepting it as natural part of making art.
Yes, it doesn't have a melting point because the molecules slowly fall apart as glass gets heated; the hotter it gets, the liquider it gets (up to a specific level).

Glass at room temprature has enough bonds to stay solid, though.
Oh. You're not saying lifestyle choices are ineffective, you're saying telling people to make those changes is ineffective.

Yes, that I would completely agree on.
I think they’re probably saying that the technical aspects of making a game are generally much easier/more accessible now.

I don’t think anyone would claim the actual game design is much easier (and the marketing is probably more difficult now).
Pretty neat idea, but it leaks DNS requests unfortunately: see point 5 "When We Share Information" in [privacy policy](https://upvpn.app/privacy-policy/).

If they used some sort of disposable or "trustable" DNS server, it would be awesome!
A lot of companies directly go against their users to enrich the owners, see Reddit right now. Just the rational move by companies that have established monopolies/oligopolies. Also companies that exploit negative externalities.

> They are dimensionless, but they still have units. The concepts are orthogonal.

The concepts are not orthogonal, they are incompatible.

A dimensionless quantity (which angles are not) is by definition the ratio of two quantities that are measured with the same unit.

When you compute the ratio by division, the two identical units disappear from the result, therefore the result is indeed dimensionless.

There is no way to choose a unit for a dimensionless quantity in the usual sense.

At most you could define a new different dimensionless quantity, as the ratio of two dimensionless quantities, i.e. as a ratio of ratios, but because it needs a different definition this should better be viewed as a different quantity, not as the same quantity with a different unit.

Are you saying it's harder to get Canadian citizenship, and that's the only reason people go to the US instead? A lot of my college friends were Chinese-Canadian-Americans alleging that Canada was just their stepping stone to the US, but that's only my experience.
This does not track for me at all. I'm sorry but why would anybody in the DOD have an incentive to "make Americans believe in US military and intelligence superiority"?
They will never consolidate with Oracle.

It screams of a mindset that says "I think my employees are idiots who deserve to be exploited if can convince them to be." No way in hell would that CEO ever be convinced of his own argument if he were in his employees' shoes.

I can see why it works, though. There are people who are motivated by the belief that they're more hardworking/better/etc than other people, and if you offer them a metric that could make them feel "better" than someone else, they'll try to meet it even if its to their own detriment. Hustle culture depends on these types existing.
Redneck Revolt: Southern revolutionary socialism
I was born in the Americas, and I am an European citizen by descent. Being a dual citizen and getting to know the old country changed my life. Highly recommend it. The Americas are very much a frontier society and people who have lived for over a thousand year together have accumulated much more conviviality skills.
What's the difference between a farmer and a farmhand? Like, why do you work in tech instead of being a farm hand on your surplus time? I assume since you are experienced, they'd offer you a good salary? Or is the matter not that they need farmhands, but more that they need cheap labour to exploit?
A UK perspective on this is that the AI trend, as described in the article, would quickly turn into a class divide. Many employers in AI/ML spaces seem to want postgraduate degrees. Often the academic entry requirements to such degrees aren't that high (usually a bachelors degree with an "ok" mark like a 2:2 or a 2:1 min in a related subject - not exactly sky high attainment criteria) but the financial barriers are relatively severe - far poorer finance options are available as compared to undergraduate degrees especially.

The dynamic then seems to be that while software development has been functioning as a relatively effective source of social mobility, if you can do the work you can create a decent career, the current AI wave threatens to pull up the ladder for many if this trend carries on as described.

That said I'm not too worried about it playing out like that yet, at least not in the medium term. I think industry is at some pinnacle of optimism around AI but don't quite realise that it's not a great fit for a lot of commercially relevant use cases like maintenance of existing code bases of more than trivial complexity and it's unlikely to be for a good while and where there is sensitivity to copyright. I think once that reality sets in there will be some degree of back-peddling.

Maybe the heart was in the right place, but yet another test that consumers pay for is not really the solution to the PFAS problem. The solution is holding polluters accountable. Until that happens, the test is simply a luxury that allows you to put distance between you and this worldwide problem.
Seems odd and counterproductive to include the "non-earth" and "exotic" language at all then. Why not refer to all "non-domestic aerospace material" instead? A group who provably knows they have Chinese hardware would be much harder to prosecute under the current language.
If you want version control you need a format, that is amendable to version control. So, some uncompressed text markup.

Interesting observation over the last few weeks of playing with OpenDocument is that the revision control feature works by creating new local style for every change, which creates total havoc when you try to diff the .fodt or content.xml by external tools.

The position still seems to boil down to "Reducing experience to labels or correlations doesn't feel right to me", which actually dovetails nicely with your Nagel quote, since you can't rely on your intuition when attempting to understand a system from the inside.
When a law firm sends out a bill to a client, it lists the following info:

• description of task

• time spent on task (in 6 min increments)

• name of person who did the task

• billing rate of said person

• total cost for the task

Unless a firm that "fires half its staff" also doubles its billing rate, it will not make more money. And good luck to the firm that tries to double its billing rate. It is very difficult to convince clients that you're worth that much (or that you should be getting all the benefit from advances in technology).

I'm not saying firms shouldn't make changes, I'm saying they really don't want to. Eventually they will, just like they eventually got rid of typing pools. But it took much longer than it would have if the incentive structure in firms were different. They are married to the billable hour.

The Bathyscaph Trieste: Technological and Operational Aspects (1962)
This was written by Don Walsh, who with Jacques Piccard, descended to the bottom of the Challenger Deep in 1960. It explains many engineering details.
Some examples:

- Everything Microsoft has been doing to windows: adding ads, shuffling the UI around, resetting the defaults every update

- see also: reddit, facebook, everything else in it's
"enshitification" phase

- Anything involving ads is (imo) polluting the world

- Things that are literally polluting the world (usually not tech, but sometimes)

Ezra Klein just did a long interview with Leslie Kean (a popular author and Coast to Coast AM guest) about her article in "The Debrief" --- where it went, after the Washington Post wouldn't run it on her time schedule --- about David Grusch:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/20/opinion/ezra-klein-podcas...

It does not make Kean and Grusch's claims sound a lot more credible. Some of Kean's sources are proponents of things like psychic teleportation. Another is a Stanford biologist who started producing debunked materials science papers about allegedly alien artifacts (that turn out to look a lot like ordinary machine parts). No source she names has firsthand knowledge of "non-human origin" technology; it's all people who heard something who heard something. At one point she cites the now-discredited "Gimball Video". There's no good answer to the question of "if Grusch is right about any of this, why did the DoD allow him to say it publicly" --- she has a particularly harebrained theory that DoD classification rules allow Grusch to describe this stuff in generalities as long as he doesn't cross a line of specificity, which, just, no.

But people love talking about this stuff, so you can't blame Rubio for indulging it.

And for some (most) people they are fighting a huge uphill battle. An even slightly more efficient metabolism means if they eat the same as their peers who are in shape they will still gain weight.

I'm even more amazed at my IT colleagues (so "tech" people) putting up with windows' doing god knows what constantly. We have the exact same machines, yet mine somehow basically never has its fan on running Linux and compiling Rust, whereas theirs is often audible while running Windows with a couple of chrome tabs open and outlook.

They also don't bat an eye when lazy devs recommend we should reboot the servers daily. They put up with laggy VNC when they have a perfectly good remote desktop solution set up.

I guess, if it sorta kinda works, people just get used to it. The fans blowing like a jet engine. Apps taking forever to load. Windows getting stuck for no discernible reason.
The problem is not being offended per se, but having your user id accidentally become "user_123fuck567" — that's akin to having a vulgar license plate on your car's forehead. People don't appreciate how lucky they sometimes are.

I can't read the full Boston Globe article due to the paywall and offer no opinion on the author's state of mind, but if you assume some small percent of outwardly functional people have "eccentric" personalities, it would not be surprising that you would occasionally hear about a college professor doing something eccentric. Why is any further explanation needed than "some humans have quirky personalities and do quirky things..."

Other comments are jogging my memory. I think we went case sensitive (62 characters -> 30 spares), eliminated aA4, eE3, iI1l oO0 (maybe Q), uU, which is 16 characters, 14 to go. Remove the remaining 7 numbers (once you remove most for leetspeak what's the point of the rest?), nN, yY. That leaves 2 left and I can't recall what we did with those. Maybe kK or rR.

Y is pretty versatile for pissing people off.
While the cameras on phones are getting better all the time, the two things that really threaten the "real camera" market are computational photography and that photos, these days, are only shared on social media and almost never printed. As Tim Bray points out in this piece the "straight off the camera RAW" (converted to DNG and then to JPG, which has a host of default decisions being made) compared to what processing and decisions are happening on a phone makes for photos that look very good, if not better than those taken with "real" cameras, when posted online. Now try that experiment again but with the final output being 16x20 inch prints and see which one is better.

Another caveat is that the operator of the camera can make more difference than the camera: the average smartphone user will take worse photos with a Nikon Z9 and 35mm f/1.2 lens than pretty much any professional wedding photographer with that average smartphone user's phone. Knowing how to compose a photo and pose your subjects is an art and skill that goes beyond just having a nice camera for recording the scene.

The main criteria for government regulation is that it appears to benefit the upper middle class who influence government (by being the media, by being organized voters/campaigners and by being the actual senior government people discussing and deciding). Where the regulation is low cost and scales well you get an improvement for the poor too. If scale doesn't apply well (e.g. surgery) or if regulation helps and doesn't harm the upper middle class (e.g. the mountain of regulations around housebuilding in the uk) or if the regulation only appears helpful (e.g. the overregulation of nuclear power) then the poor will suffer (e.g. by dying while on waiting lists or being unable to afford housing or having eye watering electricity bills).

Even if you disagree with my particular examples of the above three classes I think you'll be able to come up with something for each of them.

This feels not just a bit but very snappy.
What's the difference between this and AlmaLinux? I was under the impression that CloudLinux had renamed to AlmaLinux and transferred ownership to the nonprofit, but apparently they are separate?

Edit: Reading into it, it seems that CloudLinux is similar to AlmaLinux, but has extra patches targeted towards shared hosting providers to support hosting management panel software. They will soon be releasing a free version that just has basic patching to make sure panel software works, but without the more elaborate proprietary offerings that commercial CloudLinux has.
The situation in China is not a secret. Apple's entire existence is/was beholden to factories and resources in China. It was an ultimatum of "put our users' data in our servers or have your entire business crippled", which might have also been illegal to do in the U.S. since it would've violated shareholder trust to destroy possibly years of efficiency and supply chain performance over user privacy in China (only to have your products banned in China anyways) while they try to move supply chains.

In the U.S., these types of bills are the ones aiming to mimic China's stranglehold over tech companies that China has. China has the manufacturing chops, but the US still has a large and wealthy consumer market and is considered a fairly politically stable location to run your business out of (thanks to military spending). Both the executive and legislative branches would love to spy on their citizens more to make their jobs easier and gain more power over the everyday lives of citizens. So while the US has the potential to follow in China's footsteps, we still have the opportunity to fight against these proposed laws.
There is no requirement (as far as I am aware), only convention for charging in 1/10th hour increments.

Filling out standard documents and such can (and often is) charged by the job. Some common case types even are billed by the job, instead of hourly.

Majority of firms do not handle complex cases that require deep knowledge and skill. We can compare this to accounting automation, such as Intuit/Quickbooks. Are they for every business? No - but for a ton of standard businesses they are a perfect fit, and Intuit makes a ton of money in the process.

This resistance to modernizing will kill some firms in the process.
Generally agree, but that could be true of many other things like lead too. So we have to be careful not to take it to the extreme.
You definitely can use LLMs to do your modeling. But sometimes you need very fast, cheap, and smaller models instead. Also there's research out there showing that using LLM to generate training data for targeted & specific models may result in better performance.
