Sorry, I think I still just have to disagree. Look at what a car or modern ship is made of. Nothing in it could be reproduced by a stone age civilization. They could maybe make a wheel out of wood which would be a technology they didn't have but honestly I'm inclined to believe the reason why pre-animal-husbandry civilizations didn't use the wheel is because it's mostly useless with nothing to pull it. You really need the wheel plus draft animals plus roads to actually do anything otherwise the terrain is just too rough for a person to pull or push a small cart very far and it's easier to just use a frame pack or basket on your head or back.
That seems reasonable at first glance, but how is that different from the game downloading generated content or models used for inference from its own servers after Steam distribution? If you argue that the code being used to access it is distributed, then what about the code to integrate with DLSS APIs on Steam distributed games?
They have a manual review step when you submit a game. Although you're right that they can't catch everything, they can certainly catch obvious things.

I can name several more

1. Communal cultures and stronger family structures. White Americans are insanely atomized and individualistic and that is a serious issue

2. Birthrates/Fertility

3. Far better food/cooking and eating

4. Cultural control, especially in music and to a lesser extent in sports.

5. In the case of certain immigrant groups, significantly higher family wealth than the average white american

6. In the case of some ethnic groups, significantly better physical prowess (it's a handful of tribes where many of the best runners come from)

Obviously these are not all that significant compared to the disadvantages, but the idea that there are no other "unfair advantages" is just wrong.

Is there a reason they should not? Or at least have representation?

With such a small subset of the population, statistically there wouldn't be an even mix. But IMO there should be at least some representation of every "protected" attribute. There's plenty of women with the physique and skills to fill roles in the NFL, for example. Not every player needs to be able to be a linebacker, after all.

This is awful reporting.

Aspartame has been studied for more than 40 years and no regulatory body in any country has found it to be cancerogenic; it is a risky substance for people with a rare desease called Phenylketonuria.

So, the reader will be under the impression that it will cause cancer, which is pretty dubious, all while obesity for which sugary drinks are partially responsible is a very real cancer risk.
I've been developing professionally for companies for over 30 years now, and I've _once_ seen a DB changed (in the context of the above).

That was my point, the "rest of them" is another subsection of the same local population. I am not sure I understand why some think benefiting one subsection is OK while not the other.

Anyway, this entire comment sub thread seems to head towards incorrect/inadequate incentives/regulation. Seems like fixing that is perhaps a better course than to throw out an entire industry that obviously many locals and visitors want and use.

Yeah, they indicate that they have already submitted multiple games with AI generated assets, and submitted this one "with a few assets that were fairly obviously AI generated." Maybe I'm being unfair and they are making really good games, but these are not good indicators to me.

I choose terrorists because everyone dislikes them. Seemed non-offensive. But you can make them whatever group you think is harmful in your mind (maybe progressives for you).

The question is what is the ends meant to achieve by the meritocracy? The goal of most institutions in our world is to make the world a better place for us to live in. If the meritocracy seems to run counter to that then it may not be achieving its goal. And the point I was trying to make with the terrorists is that if you blindly treat meritocracy as its own ends then you can end up making the world a worse place for it.
The problem is, according to my reading of SCOTUS, that you can have affirmative action on anything but race. It occurs to me that it would have been far more effective if Harvard based their selection criteria on socio-economic considerations rather than race.

It seems like a well-intentioned but badly thought through process designed to ensure disadvantaged groups gain access they might not have gotten to their system.

The general idea seems to be - if you are of a particular race, you are automatically disadvantaged over ever other race. There is probably some truth to this. However, perhaps they now need to look at how people of a certain race are disadvantaged (other than because of their race itself) and use this as their selection criteria. This might actually also raise all groups - there are plenty of people in other racial groupings who also are disadvantaged for reasons other than their race.

FWIW, I am not American and I realise this is a sensitive area, so if I am out of line for whatever reason I can just say this is an observation which may not be accurate.

> The right to abortion is guaranteed by the right to be free from “unreasonable search and seizure.” That is literally the best ever example of squinting REALLY hard at the constitution and trying to make something fit.

No, its just a typo, Roe rested on the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, not any provision of the 4th. “A state criminal abortion statute of the current Texas type, that excepts from criminality only a lifesaving procedure on behalf of the mother, without regard to pregnancy stage and without recognition of the other interests involved, is violative of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” (It in passing mentions other previous cases relating to privacy rights which found aspects of them other places in the Constitution, including, among many others, the combination of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments in Terry v. Ohio, but no part of the rule articulated in Roe purported to be interpreting the Fourth Amendment, only the 14th.)
I assume that just the name. Cyclops was a monster that lost his one eye in battle. The submarine had one window and the name suggests that window being damaged at some point. Titan suggests a more positive and strong image without suggesting the bad parts.

In any case the submarine couldn't avoid the cyclops destiny and cyclopsioned entirely.
Reddit's already dead. There is no more growth to be had. Reddit's about group social construction. Not about objectivity or truthyness, but about constructing and constant negotiation of norms. You construct your own Reddit, groups construct themselves. A varied Redditness emerges through spilling between groups.

Groups face tipping points and runaway effects, especially when agency, or perception of agency, is stripped. Reddit imposed moderators will in many cases lack sufficient objective knowledge to operate niches and pander to remaining niche subject experts with varying results, while in all cases seek to impose an objective, uniform with permissible variation, normative imagination of Redditness, one they themselves lack the agency, sufficient potential to constantly generate chaos, to change.

The only value in Reddit now is a rundown of selling to the community, I pull 4 years from a magical had, selling the communities, then strip asset the intellectual property they claim. Any investor would be mad to think of Reddit as anything but a distressed asset investment.
Meta’s Evenstar is transitioning to OCP to accelerate open RAN adoption
I'm always surprised by this when it's "50 years ago".

Certainly the scientists and analysts at 3M who collected and analyzed the data would have thereafter known of it's extremely harmful effects.

And I don't mean to open this up to "heh yea well they made bank!" I don't think they did relatively speaking.

My main question, is that certainly those scientists would have been advising their friends and families to stay away from X, Y, and Z products because they contain PFAS?

Why would enshittification not apply to airbnb? Of course it does. The honeymoon (fed printing money) is over, the party is over. 2022 was the first year ever airbnb had a positive net income, such things don't come easy.
I've never experienced the bad ones that want you to clean the place top-to-bottom. I believe they exist, but I've not seen it, and have been averaging probably 4ish AirBnB stays per year for several years (I'm posting from one now!). It's usually like "please load & start the dishwasher and take the trash out before leaving". Reasonable stuff, not, like, hours of work. Most onerous I've seen is stripping the beds and starting the first load of that laundry, which takes maybe ten minutes with several beds and only one person doing it. We tend to do more because we have young kids who make messes, so we clean up after them just so it doesn't turn into a truly unreasonable mess and/or outright damage (and because living in filth isn't pleasant) but that's not because of the chore list.

> Why do people put up with this shit, especially on vacation? Why go on vacation to do chores afterwards? May as well stay home and not have to pay for the experience.

Shrug. The way we use it, it's more like temporarily owning a vacation home than being in a hotel. With the good and the bad of that. Lots of space and beds for way less money than that'd cost in a hotel. Easy access to a washer and dryer, full kitchen, full-size fridge with freezer, and often in locations without any options for normal hotels. Far nicer to hang out in/around than hotel rooms, short of luxury suites and such. But you also can't be quite as messy as some people are comfortable being in a hotel—if we e.g. get crumbs all over the carpet or track a little dirt in, we vacuum it up like we would at home, rather than just grinding it into the fibers and leaving it to the cleaners. We'd do that in hotels, too, if they had a vacuum in the room. It's really not a big deal.
Isn't the change for the CLI? That's not accessible from scripts, so that may be why.

Though, I agree that typing everything is good. Especially when combined with a good typechecker like pyright.
I'm genuinely curious. What about the language do you feel is "ossified"? I am interpreting that as being a negative description.

Stability is extremely valuable. A lack of change to the core language over extended periods of time can be a very good thing, especially if certain changes would break existing code. Rich has made it clear that he is indeed targeting this kind of stability.

Again, I would be very interested to hear what specific changes you think need to be made to 'Clojure "the language"'.

> Apple still doesn’t have an answer on the high end when it comes to competing with the fastest x86 PCs + GPUs

I think they decided not to pursue that market segment. Their current high-end is quite a lot of computer (the lack of support for dGPUs on the MacPro is disappointing, and while 192GB ought to be enough for anyone, it could sport an external memory controller and a DDR5 bus for those crazy people who really want terabytes of RAM).

When you go beyond that you enter the midrange tower server market and those machines don’t come cheap either. The day after the Pro’s release I priced a similarly equipped Dell (same number of cores, same memory and storage) and it was the same price (a bit less), but it could be expanded much further.

It was also much hotter, louder, and uglier.

We had an all-hands meeting recently. The message was essentially, "We have heard your feedback that most of you don't like this, but WE like it, so it's staying."
Well, they verify. Think again or say something that isn't just "I know something I made up about them that I didn't look up".

Actual title is:

"Valve is not willing to publish games with AI generated content anymore"
I guess we need clarity on whether using copyrighted material is covered under fair use.

GenAI clearly meets the "transformative" standard.

OTOH it seems likely that it will have difficulty with the "Amount and substantiality" as it considers the whole art work, OTOH this is not necessarily a hard barrier given the "transformative" nature.

My guess is that the "Effect upon work's value" standard vs. the "transformative" standard will be the area where there is most action. Clearly, in aggregate, GenAI will have great impact upon works value. However, this is not the usual standard (it is about individual works), and I would argue that this would be creating new law by the courts.

Hopefully we will get a case to the supreme court to resolve this, quickly. I think that this is a boon for humanity and I would like to see the cuffs taken off as quickly as possible.

The US was nearly 90% white as recently as 1960, and was 75% white as of the 2000 census, so of course most research that has been done in the past was done with white research subjects.

Ultimately, nobody serious rejects the fact that there was past de jure racial discrimination against blacks in this country. What many people challenge is the notion that present de jure discrimination is the only way to remedy past de jure discrimination.

The problem with Dafny and other SMT solvers is that when they work, they're brilliant, but when they don't, they're infuriating.

Sometimes your code and theorems are formed in a way which Dafny is very good at reasoning about (e.g. standard induction). Then it's nice to just write code and have everything verify.

Other times your assertions are non-trivial to the verifier, even if they look obvious, and you must write lemmas and assertions to get them to be proven. And the problem with SMT solvers is that it can be hard to figure out which lemmas and assertions you need to add. It's frustrating to see some assertion Dafny can't prove, which to you seems almost self-evident, and it can be hard to see what is missing.

Languages like Coq, Lean, and Isabelle/HOL are better in that you prove things manually (unless you abuse `auto` and tactics for non-trivial proofs, then you still run into the above). Because when you're writing a manual proof, you know exactly what you have and what you need to prove and why the two aren't yet the same. It can still be frustrating but less so, because in Coq you usually have a better idea what key details are unproven, whereas in Dafny you just get "this (entire statement) can't be proved". You could also say that Coq goes "above and beyond" even though you must write the proofs manually, because you can statically check arbitrary properties and write "safe" code which upholds extremely complex invariants using dependent types.

But ultimately, any formal verification language becomes extremely verbose and challenging to write once the properties you are trying to statically prove become mildly complicated. Which is why most code doesn't go "above and beyond" even though formal methods have been around for decades. It's an unfortunate reality in the field: you can spend decades writing a formally-verified version of a medium-sized program, or could spend weeks writing the program itself and then writing solid tests (see: CompCert, sel4). But I still think we're making progress: case in point Rust (and other new languages with ownership semantics), and companies actually using formal methods to verify the small but critical parts of your code.
