> When games have a required online component, servers shutting down are the most likely reason the game becomes unplayable, more than the client not working on current platforms.

This problem is why I don't use software -- including games -- that requires access to a server somewhere.
Almost any reader and platform supports both so I don't even know why the discussion is relevant.

If you have a preference, use it and feed readers will likely just work.

They've figured it out long since, but they're making more profit as it is now.
> Out there in the world, RSS feeds provide their feeds in Atom format.

I just checked a few of the ones I follow, and ... turns out I don't immediately know how to distinguish when there's not a specific xml namespace reference in the doc or such.

But according to Wikipedia the RFC822 timestamps I'm seeing suggest they're RSS2 instead of Atom?

Instagram's RS has some top down policies as well.

E.g.

1] if you go in explore and select a particular image or reel, RS shows only posts related to that starting point. It is not a single generic feed. It is highly contextual.

2] It changes the items as you like post in realtime. So if you started liking "natural beauty" posts, it will show more of those.

It seems Insta has these different scanerios played out and it tries to fit your actions to those scenarios and change the feed accordingly.
Famously, popcount was a common request from intelligence agencies, at least as far back as the DEC Alpha.
You're describing a standard CIA black op. And if they aren't going after a Russian government asset, I'd wager there would be less likelihood of catching heat, especially if the one's doing the work are native Russians looking to make a quick buck.

> It's a point in time write barrier no

That's the only way it makes sense. The caller controls when they start the sync, so they can make sure that all writes they care about have been issued by then.

But it's impossible to define a temporal ordering between writes and the time the sync completes. That's not a well-defined point in time. There's always a non-zero delay between the time the sync proper completes and the caller gets back control.
Hey thanks for checking out! Some browsers on iOS (eg Edge) does not play audio. Working on fixing that.

To play the audio, I take chord name, list out notes in the chord, and send the notes to a synthesizer. I used Tonejs and Tonaljs libraries.
Is ROCm actually usable in this years machine learning ecosystem?

I don't known, as I'm only just now building out my first AMD based ML machine to run ROCm. All I can really say is that AMD really seem to be making a genuine effort to get ROCm to that level. See the two links I submitted yesterday[1][2] for more details.

The two things in particular that stand out to me from all this are:

1. They are at least publicly declaring their intention to make ROCm a player in AI/ML. Previously there was at least a perception (and quite possibly a reality) that ROCm was more focused on other HPC workloads and not really AI / ML. AMD seems committed to changing that.

2. It seems that they are finally serious about getting ROCm working on their consumer Radeon cards. Even though 5.6 didn't include the long hoped-for announcement of such support, the blog post they put out did at least officially declare their intent to do so in a release this fall. And maybe more to the point, the batch of changes in 5.6 did actually include some fixes for problems encountered running on Radeon cards, even though they aren't yet officially listed as supported.

> Ok, so Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton or Max Tegmark aren't able to comprehend or speculate about this?

I am genuinely amazed how even educated and intelligent people (or maybe predominantly them) have fallen into this, what I see is essentially a doomsday cult. But groupthink happens, maybe nobody is safe. It's not like it hasn't happened before.
That's a lot of hyperbolic breathless rhetoric. Not helping any reasonable discourse on the issue.

But you don't need them for AI to be a problem.

I love your approach! In the early days, this was how most games with an online component worked. Here's hoping it comes into wider fashion again.

In the meantime, keep on rocking it!
wow this actually got upvoted really fast. It's an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a long time now so I'm glad to see excitement about it even though I shoehorned it in to a barely-relevant HN thread (sorry). It should be really easy to get an MVP of this idea going given that the data is already there. The biggest design struggle I've actually had with it is figuring out an actual engaging game to make with it. It could be something like CryptoKitties (sorry to bring up NFTs but I think those ideas often have the same problem. They have a good "collection" idea at the root and then aren't really sure what to do with that collection) where you mainly maintain a collection and then "games" are a layer on top of that that anyone can make with the underlying data. Hope this isn't against the rules, but my email is in my bio if anyone's serious about furthering this idea or just wants to chat about it
It is looking good, but I'm still waiting for a "table" (they do have a "grid" now) and "tree" widget to give it a try
They also made a category of raids where you can not use a remote pass to participate.

It further reinforces that the game is made for city dwellers. The suburbs and rural areas are funny places that one might visit from time to time, but noting to concern yourself about.
I did. I didn't like it. Many apps lacking or couldn't run. Non of my diabetes monitoring apps would run. Many other apps lacked features or crashen on using these features, like push notifications.

I'm pragmatic though, I think Googles services (some, certainly not all) are just so good that I think paying with my data is OK. Like Google Maps. Even though I contribute to OSM, I think all the OSM apps range from "completely suck" to "fancy, but not on par".
Because I was making the argument that cooking involves free expression, ergo they can kick you out if they don't want to serve you food. This isn't hard to understand and should be obvious given that the rhetoric over this line of argument has been increasingly common.

We made the offer on our current house without seeing it and I know several others in the same situation.
Was the acquisition a win for the company that sold it or was it more of an aquihire deal? In the success case I think you could argue that was actually the ideal type approach for that company - focus on getting to the point where you or an aquirer can safely adopt that sort of long term mentality and clean up the codebase (or not, if it's good enough). Most projects aren't aiming to be built to last 10 years and slowing down enough to get that right might mean its a moot point if they never shipped. Having to deal with a garbage codebase for a successful product is a good problem to have because it means you have a successful product
My list or reasons I go hard against ads, even though I can appreciate quality ads that can serve a legitimate purpose:

1) tracking me across in serval ways, only making me more fanatical about it by selling my information and activity to who know whom.
2) malware/virus injections … it still happens way too often.
3) garbage ads; for garbage products, products/services I just purchased, or the infamous scam ads to defraud people.
> 'majority group', 'cultural dominance', 'control of policies'

This is fundamentally a race-based conception of the world, a conception that defines power along racial lines, which groups and analyzes people fundamentally based on race.

We have the benefit in the last 50 years to move past this way of looking at the world, many of us have come to the realization that race isn't a useful way to group people, period. Any disadvantage you see in society that appears 'race' based can be better explained via other means. If people aren't treated justly, it's not because of racism except in vanishingly small amounts, in obscure and backwards parts of the US.

'Structural racism' falls prey to correlation is not causation, a misguided explanation for group differences, an oversimplification, and it won't generate progress as long as the cause is incorrectly ascribed.
>If this is an anti-AI scraping measure, I can understand, but it should be communicated. In which case: Thanks "Open"-AI for ruining the Internet.

If it makes people stop using Twitter, this is an improvement for the internet.
Those projects are useful for determining the actual capabilities of the AI for malice as they improve. Doomsdayers really tend to overestimate how much can actually be done with one laptop and an internet connection.
The other day there was a twit on the frontpage with just the text "some people change their mind some times". I'm 14 and this is deep.

You probably would have said the same thing about something like ChatGPT a few years ago. Pure science fiction! Nowhere near happening!
I mean, Ryan Holiday actually published a book where he explains how he games the system via low effort news sites and fake controversies.
Do you have recommendations? (La)TeX, maybe, or *roff?
He would use the same memory card and high end camera both during "stakeouts" for surveillance photos as well as listing photos for the homes he was selling.

This really surprises me.

I would have assumed that an FBI memory card used for taking surveillance photos would have all kinds of security and encryption on it for chain-of-custody purposes. Otherwise, the photos won't stand up in court.

The healthcare company I work for has cameras it uses for photos, and for HIPAA reasons those cards are encrypted and secured. They won't even mount on an unauthorized computer.
If "average quality" in everyone of those things was not acceptable to you and you actually needed the best of the best, and best quality could not be had in most phones....then yeah that might make sense. I doubt anyone actually cares to have absolutely top tier performance in every one of those categories though, and what most phones have is "good enough". Which is why/how phones ate all those functions. They do most of them "good enough" and "good enough" is all that most consumers care about.

Caring about performance in at least one of those categories is not that uncommon and carrying a dedicated device for that isn't crazy. I have used stand alone GPS receivers before even when I had my phone, and deciding that you need a better camera seems not crazy at all.
> What does a real estate agent do? They unlock doors.

I think it depends on the local market, but this was certainly my feeling when trying to rent a place in London. I visited 15 properties in a couple of days. Most agents just unlocked the door, sometimes seeing the place for the first time, most often clueless about the place. Actually a couple of them weren't even able to open the door and didn't have the right key.
These are just funny. Truly terrible real estate agent photos are the ones that distort the image so much to make the room look bigger that it has no real bearing on reality.
nobody "scrapes" soup kitchen soup because it's impractical/expensive/not worth it to do that. Not so with webcrawlers, large numbers of them can, at low cost to the scrapers, use all of your servers' resources, and in Amazon's case, use it to work against your business.

When a person goes to Amazon and looks at what is splashed on the page, there are any number of chances that they will click "Buy!" on any one of them, and winning that lottery is Amazon's business; when a crawler does, it does more "looking" with no chance of purchase, and the data is then used to reduce the value of Amazon's lottery game.

I'm not arguing whether or not crawling is or should be legal, simply saying the "it's not theft because it's copying" argument is inadequate to the task.

Don't read one guy's opinion on Reddit and attribute it to the whole company. There are surely others who agree with him, and others who don't. This is the kind of dumb stuff that leads to most tech companies barring employees from saying anything. Let's stay reasonable.
Here is what really annoys me:

The dependencies are such a mess that even if you try to install only pytorch-cpu, at some point some random package will cause pytorch-cuda and those 10GBs to be installed.
Yes sponsorblock, which I cited above. But at this point, why pay for YouTube premium? If I have to install sponsorblock, I might as well install uBlock origin and get a better user experience for free.
>The biggest one was that not all packages could be reliably installed from the command line. There was a GUI package manager application that used a different system than the command line

This doesn't make any sense. I've been using OpenSUSE for a decade and there's no package that can be installed via Yast (the GUI) but not via zypper (the CLI).

>There were also something different about their RPMs, where even though it was RPM based you couldn't use centos/fedora RPMs.

Obviously. They're different distros with different package names and library paths. "RPM" is just a file format.
I thought that too. First fire department - ruthless!
> I've yet to met anybody who knows Python/Ruby/C#/Java/Rujst/Go and JS to chose JS outside of the web. Because there, we have the choice.

Pleased to meet you! Isomorphic code bases are a case to use a single language, which before WASM, is Javascript & Typescript. I may prefer to use something different with WASM, which has even more interoperability than JS, becoming a bigger part of the ecosystem, but so far it would be Assemblyscript to more easily migrate my existing codebase. Assemblyscript has a Garbage Collector, so I may choose Rust or Zig if I don't want the GC. Rust probably has the most momentum, so despite the complexities, verbosity, & loss of productivity working with Rust, that may be a better choice when working with WASM. I would prefer Zig over Rust & Assemblyscript over both in cases of app development...but breadth & depth of the ecosystem matters.

I wouldn't touch PHP, Python, Ruby if I had a between using Typescript...as PHP, Python, & Ruby lack a decent static type system.

> Nobody wanted to work with JS, it was used to make snowflakes on your home page on Xmas at best.

I disagree. Javascript is a prototype based language, which provided opportunities for composition over inheritance. JS supported closures from it's beginning while other popular languages did not (well Ruby had limited support for closures). Inheritance & other OO concepts now considered harmful were prevalent with Java, C#, Ruby, Python, etc.

Sure, we could have used LISP instead, but for some reason LISP did not gain traction. JS was the closest programming to LISP which had popular appeal.

I suggest that JS changed the general programming ecosystem in profoundly positive ways & I, for one, preferred developing in JS over the other popular alternatives when I could.

To further bolster the case for JS, Typescript was built as an extension on top of JS, proving you can have the dynamic prototype based runtime with a powerful static type system.
If I want to find new stuff then I would like to access a dedicated resource where all the promoted material could be promoted. Like a promotional book or email tab.

> A hill I’m happy to die on is

Just circling back a bit, what IS advertising? I work at a relatively unknown company - it's not in anyone's daily vocabulary. It exists, but barely. It will actually die if it's not marketed, advertised.

Now I can just go, fuck it, I don't want to work for any company that advertises. Great. Where should I work?
Shrug

I think there should be more praise on these guys for what they accomplished given the state of JavaScript when they started. They saw a problem and came up with a solution. Was it perfect? No, but it's not this abominable creation.

Much like John Resig's work on jQuery nudged JavaScript forward, so did the work on CommonJS/Node.
Yup! I saw the plane in Bentonville!
I mean, they sort of do already. Not everyone gets in that is legacy. They also contribute to the endowment, etc. And it's sort of their (the elite establishment) place in the first place.

But I'm not making an opinion here (on if they should do this or just how much they should do), just explaining why Harvard exists. And it isn't just for the best and brightest to get together. It never has been and it never will be.
Twitter seeing 'record user engagement'? The data tells a different story
I use a laptop for work or when I need to use Xcode but I’ve been able to create music and code just fine by piggy backing a raspberry pi. The USB-C port on the iPad can power the pi and run an Ethernet connection. From there I can terminal in or VNC. The iPad becomes my monitor and I use the keyboard case and everything is pretty ok.
Search with Google for "NVidia 525 driver not installing Ubuntu" for the sorry tale of NVidia 525 vs. Ubuntu and Mint. There's a dependency problem and the install fails. There is much discussion of workarounds. If you try this using the "additional drivers" GUI program, you get a dialog box with a big X and an "OK" button, but no message.

If you want to run Wayland on NVidia hardware, you need to be heavily into Linux system administration.

Just because you disagree with something, doesn't mean it can't galvanize popular support.
Interesting idea, and I can see the potential. However, other tools I've seen that try to "simplify" git end up breaking some desirable aspect of the git workflow, making it far less useful to me than just using the git workflow I'm comfortable with directly. Could you explain a bit more about what mental model I should have in mind when using your tool and what limitations I'd end up running in to?
People can archive data from Reddit/Twitter, and Bitcoin/Ethereum... nodes can prune old blocks and stop serving them.
I used to work in architecture, and I think that's where something like an iPad really shines. It was possible to have all the drawing sets on the iPad, and mark them up on the job site to send back to the office for revisions. Being able to annotate them with photographs of the site conditions and redlining as you talk with the foreman is excellent, it makes things a lot more seamless.

Yes, you weren't going to do any actual CAD work and still need a workstation in the office, but as a digital notebook, it's excellent.
iced is a really weird one. It has a lot of widgets and lots of really advanced features... but clipboard support is almost non-existant (basically you can only copy small strings and nothing else). (I also think drag-and-drop is not possible either)

I've wanted to work on a few tiny tools in Rust, but so much of my workflow relies on proper clipboard support that it's never worked out.

Maybe some day I'll have time and energy to work on this, but the issue seem to come from underlying libraries providing abstractions that just don't allow properly inter-operating with the clipboard.

Of course, this isn't a problem for an IRC client, since you can't send images or anything like that anyway.
> The author is not talking about evolutionary _goals_.

Well... He is, actually, just not biological-evolutionary goals. (Like "natural selection," the term "evolution" can apply to anything that has appeared or might appear).

I do think you're right that the article frames the topic pretty well and explores it well, including the concerns that the person you're responding to raised.
It wouldn't reduce the rate of ads or price of premium, but if everyone ran an ad blocker and didn't pay for Premium, YouTube would either shut down or make the uploaders pay per watch or per GB served, perhaps, leading to a worse experience.

Giant corps move slowly, and companies like Oracle will require official communication only, which moves even slower. I think it's too early to read anything into it.

How is this easier than paying a subscription? You get ad-free YouTube and YouTube music.

I’ve listened to 1000s of hours of YouTube since I started my premium subscription with 0 advertisements. We paid a few dollars more for a family plan and now my father and grandfather no longer watch ads either.
