Some friends and I tried to buy chips from them recently. However, they wanted a relatively significant amount of money for them that more accurately reflected commercial rates than historical collectible prices. Seems like they are operating as a corporation still and may still be protective over their IP

Background: I maintain the largest die photography collection on the internet. I wanted to take some die pictures for historical reasons. Fortunately I was able to get one to image from a third party, although I haven't posted it yet
That would probably be the IMF, the ECB and the European Commission, i.e. the Troika.

That always astounds me - someone expecting me to pay them for something right after I was lied to by them (the ad). Who do those ads target?
Maybe. But that specific overabstraction is in the implementation of the framework. It's trying to proxy all the method calls to objects to perform logic around them. It is true that Spring wants the developer to configure auxiliary logic that gets applied around the written code, instead of actually calling that logic. So perhaps that's what the author was getting at.
Well if someone barred you from entering a fast food that would be assault, absolutely.

But what if someone was pretending to be a public worker doing sidewalk maintenance and that forced you to simply walk on the other side of the road and not being able to access the fast food?

That to me is more like an annoyance and a form of protest.
Cool to see that my work was useful for you!
Yeah, I have to update the default version to 4.x now, but you could have use the `godot-version` parameter to set it to 4.x like this

- name: Godot HTML5 export
uses: dulvui/godot-html-export@v0.0.2
with:
godot-version: 4.1

Probably I also need to improve the documentation.
> But then Ronald Reagan (as governor of california) cut state mental illness funding.

It's been 50 years between then and now, so... why has no other politician increased it if the funding cut was the problem?
BBC probably wouldn't broadcast Blue Jam today, but only because it would get such limited audience. It's niche and of its time.

Similar shows today would include the Skewer, and to be honest I would rank that as more legally dangerous to run, it skirts libel laws much more closely.

Agreed, actually I thought the movie was a bit weak too. Feels a bit like he’s playing a dumbed down caricature of the old AP… although the Mid Morning Matters series was pretty funny, maybe more because of the supporting characters
Yep, it is possible, but it is not something you would normally do.

Usually these pods are lifted by a crane and "inserted" in the building (talking of reinforced concrete buildings) after the structure has been built (before building the outer walls).

Once they are on the floor they are moved manually on carts/wheels attached to the pod structure, so it is much easier if everything is at the same level, the lowered level of the deck (only where the pod goes) would add another complication in the moving/placing.

With the advent of underfloor heating the thickness of the screed is increased anyway (compared to the old buildings) so the "step" is not anymore a problem as it was years ago.
The company (Symbolics) was owned by Andrew Topping. Topping died, and Symbolics' IP was sold at his deceased estate auction. It was bought by John C. Mallery, a (former?) MIT professor, so he is the current copyright holder. (Or at least he asserts he is–some have expressed doubts over the legitimacy of the transaction, but the only way to get a definitive answer to that would be through a lawsuit, and nobody thus far has wanted to go down that path–the risks are that one might spend a fortune on lawyers and Mallery could win.)

Gary Palter was one of the last employees, and as such doesn't own the copyrights. However, he is in personal contact with Mallery, and the enhancements he has made to Genera (such as porting it to ARM) have been done with Mallery's permission.

Nobody seems to understand why Mallery is squatting on this rather than making it publicly available. Palter has never clearly explained it, although I imagine he doesn't want to burn his bridges with Mallery, and that may limit what he's able to publicly say.
That, my friend, is called a bullet dodged.
Nice work! I think one way I would definitely use it is if I can just ask questions about my downloads folder :) on my mac. If you are like me, you probably have papers, invoices, proof of addresses, passports and stuff like that inside.
And would I be able to ask what's the passport number of ... so I can enter it into the web check in for a plane. Or if I need to know what my last electricity bill was ?
Only you can decide whether something is production-ready for you. The library author doesn't know what you're trying to do so they can't possibly know whether their library is ready to be used in your production. You could be making an experiment that's going to form part of a payload for a rocket, an embedded device that gets surgically-implanted into people, is life-critical and very hard to update or you could be making an online meme generator. Production-ready really does mean completely different things in these cases.
Because Microsoft isn't their friend obviously.
This is a really great experience, but go in as blind as you can.
Healthcare will always be underfunded though. It costs too much to offer it to the extent we would like to and with the changing demographics and advancements in technology (more treatments that cost more $$$) it's going to only cost more.

For example, the UK's public healthcare funding has increased from below 3% of GDP to over 7% from the 1950s until 2018/2019 (so just before covid).[0] And yet the perception is that the NHS is always underfunded.

The UK's budget in 2018-19 was £842 billion and almost £160 billion went to essentially the NHS. I think that we will eventually have to settle into a reality of always underfunded public healthcare and it's going to get worse, because these problems plague essentially all European countries (and many others in the world).

I once interviewed for memex project but didn't get the job. It was $160K-$250K for global remote and hardest interview I ever did (how would you build google for the hidden web for 2 hours, interviewed by 3 senior engineers). I ended being best of ~100 people in that but failed on the next step with machine learning exercise($80/hour take home exercise). This was ~7 years ago.
I suppose that could mean at HN but I first read it as in, in general, search engines, links in people social feeds etc.

If it is the latter, than yes, use a deny list with either OEM or a third party tool will do the trick.

> The cabin crew suggested we all go out and club it. I had no option. It was that or one of their B&Bs. I figured it'd be safer on the streets. For the first time ever I saw the Scotch in their natural habitat, and it weren't pretty. I'd seen them huddling in stations before, being loud but… this time I was surrounded. Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me; fish-white flesh puckered by the Highland breeze; tight eyes peering out for fresh meat; screechy, booze-soaked voices hollering out for a taxi to take 'em halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole.

Yes but when does it start dropping? Not likely in the teens. As I'd always heard and other commenters also suggest, peak brain power is usually ten years later than this article proposes. Brains are still developing in our teens, and are not at their peak yet.
I never knew what to think of Four Lions. It's a hugely politically charged topic (suicide bombers, islamist terrorism, particularly perpetrated by UK residents/nationals). I watched it 10 years ago so perhaps I misremember it, but it didn't feel to me that the movie had any particular political agenda, it was just making fun of a band of clumsy terrorists.
First sentence: “ Researchers have discovered the most distant active supermassive black hole to date with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).”
No, that means I'm right. It's almost always the case that when I post real valuable information that I get paid to know in real life, or else unreported but true things about the insides of major tech companies, it gets voted to -2-ish or people argue with me and tell me it's impossible. This is called job security.

There is a new generation of Python tooling that is very high quality.

Both are single-purpose, highly-functional and blazingly fast. Both written in rust actually :)

Have they really done this for OLTP workloads running in mysql? I know they do it for OLAP though.
I think its good to separate function from title here. There are indeed good architects and bad architects - may you get the opportunity to work with the good ones.

Personally I find that those who ultimately build the thing they architect are the best to work with. As the build they gain experience, they bridge the gap between theory and practice, and the feedback loop leads to better architecture and better code.

But again, humans are in the mix, so YMMV.

Yeah, he also wrote The Thick of It which is probably the best comedy series I’ve ever seen. Another writer on that was Jesse Armstrong of Succession fame.
Sure, but that's besides the point. They can be bigoted and still held by a majority of people.
That is what the tech demo does, each actor has a prompt that includes what that person knows about the situation and how they should dicuss it but the story itself was designed by a human. The prompts for the actors were written to make the discussions interesting and useful for deducing what happened. So perhaps Actor A saw a mysterious man, Actor B heard the noises and has a better idea of the timelime, and a different detective has already examined the physical clues so you can discuss them with that actor.

It's really interesting but it's also of course really easy to break out of sensibility, and hard to properly gamify. Like you said people don't actually want the tedious part of detective work, they want the fun parts that make them feel like Sherlock.

The game Shadows of Doubt is a great example of how the information flow of detective work is really difficult to balance, I think they did a great job but if you run out of really strong clues, clues that link things together, the game becomes a brute force exercise in talking to everyone and asking the same questions.
There’s way too much variance in projects for the average to be meaningful, in my opinion. They will have some or many average parts, but they will also have some number of parts that are special.

It might be normally distributed, but across tens/hundreds/thousands of dimensions. For example, some axes might be

* resource usage requirements
* latency
* persistent storage options (filesystem/SQL/Redis)
* concurrency needs
* UI options
* error handling technique
* etc, etc

Like, if you want a terminal-based UI and don’t need SQL access, then you definitely shouldn’t use Ruby on Rails.

Some of those dimensions are obvious at the start of a project but some aren’t. You might not find out until later that you need something that your framework doesn’t support. And when that happens, you can end up in a situation of hacking together the feature working around the framework, especially if there’s a deadline.

Like I said, frameworks are great if you are very careful with their limitations.
Humans don't really experience time the way it is presented here - as an equally distributed sequence of quantities. I wouldn't take it too seriously. Why let clocks dictate to you how to feel about finitude?
Everything you wrote ignores the fact that this content taken from websites are not just parked there to be used as “competitive intelligence”

It becomes integral part of a business product. That is the problematic part.

You going into a store and take pictures of some art to use as a reference material is not an issue.

But if you take those pictures and you use them to make a program that than spits out new art that is just a mix of those images patched together then, imo, that’s an issue.

Same, but note a minor version encompasses all patches since the last release as well. You could have a single feature and countless bug fixes, but it will only show up as a meagre minor bump, with a suspicious zero in the patch field.

Why would I use this instead of some minimal implementation of the official OpenAI packages?

Looking at the chatgpt.js file in the repo, a great deal of the code revolves around manipulating UI elements. What does any of this have to do with interacting with an API, and why would I use your UI, baked into this script, outside of something I control myself?

Then, the Usage section shows a few commands, completely unrelated to any UI elements.

I'm not sold on this; seems like a wrapper around something that is much simpler in practice.

Of course it's OK to take note of what stock is on a store's shelf, go back to your own business, and sell the same stock. It's also ubiquitous. It is de facto practiced globally by everyone, it's generally legal, and it's morally fine. Broadly speaking we call this competitive intelligence or market intelligence.
see my sister comment:

> Sure, facebook the app is all up in your junk. But the apple label about "it stealing your health data" is nonsense[1]. Why isn't there a permissions dialogue asking me to share my health data, like fitness apps? Does apple specifically allow Facebook apps to get at my health data unannounced? what about apple pay, is that leaking to facebook as well?

[1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threads-an-instagram-app/id644...

As I said earlier, Tech companies are not reliable narrators.

But, to underscore the point, if apple really are letting facebook harvest this data, surely this undermines their "privacy is our magic sauce" shtick? why are they letting them harvest that data? why, as a platform, are they letting them get away with it?

Ideally the US would adopt GDPR like laws at a federal level, however thats not going to happen because there are too many tech billionaires.

Devil's advocate - in this scenario you're still paying a second voice actor, so at least the "industry" still benefits.

> I was under an impression Vulkan runs on everything.

Sadly, that's not the case. For game consoles, neither Xbox nor PlayStation support Vulkan. iOS and macOS have their own Metal API (because of course they got to have their own thing).

So, with just a Vulkan backend, you can only target Windows, Linux, Android, and Nintendo Switch natively. Translation layers like MoltenVK may help though.

It's still unclear whether the next iteration of the Switch will continue to support Vulkan.
How do we benefit? My country has a drug policy too. One part of it is that asthma inhalers require a prescription. Is the world a better place because I can't legally buy an asthma inhaler without spending a lot of money on doctors visits? I would've appreciated having one on quite a few occasions, but not enough to pay for all the doctors visits.
Here are some of the ways in which I've seen people mess this up:

- too small a diameter wire to properly engage the thread

- uneven insulation so only the tops get joined

- not enough twist so only the first couple of threads engage

- stranded wire cut through completely by the threads

- wrong kind of wire

(aluminum! which really needs its particular kind of connectors and is fortunately phased out but you may come across it in older installations).

- too many wires for the size nut (usually 5 is the max, depending on thickness)

- re-using oxidized wire ends because there isn't enough wire length

- wires not twisted at all before applying the nut

- leaving out the wire nut spring (!)

(presumably to make room for more wires...)

- spring upside down

- untwisting the nut and the spring, then untwisting the wires to add another splice

- bending the copper too often (metal fatigue)

- not inspected after twisting it on

- too much insulation stripped

- wire end damaged during insulation stripping

- wires twisted in the wrong direction

And so on... In comparison some of these will apply to Wagos but in general they have fewer ways of doing things wrong and adding another splice is much easier with a Wago. DIY electrical is great, it saves a ton of money. But the kind of stuff you come across can make your hair stand on end. The house I live in came with an electrical installation that was downright dangerous, I live here for 5 years now and I think I've fixed most of it but every now and then a new surprise pops up. Recently: a wall socket stucco'd over but before they stucco'd it over a piece of flex wire (twin strand) was connected through a groove cut into the wall to a brand new in-wall grounded socket of which the ground was left unconnected. Whoever made that (I suspect the previous occupant) is a complete idiot when it comes to electricity.

I feel like the article cuts short. It ends with a “I saw one in real life!” But not anything about why it came to be, if it performed well, despite its clunky name or if it actually was a good idea given its circumstances
I would argue scale and ease.

Modders going out of their way to find voice actors who can accurately reproduce an out of budget voice actor sounds like a labor of love that would not scale without serious money.

Having a gaming pc with a modern-ish nvidia GPU (not hating on AMD, rocm is just painful right now) scales very nicely when you apply ML to the problem.

Scales to the budget of bored tinkering teenagers with a lot of compute from chasing gaming framerates, gaming put mini ML workstations in a lot of kid's bedrooms if you think about it.

As of right now it is pretty much turnkey as it is.
New ones for sure. Those stab-ins come loose much easier and are harder to get right. There are some stab-ins that are transparent, those at least allow you to inspect that the wire is seated properly. But be careful when you manipulate them to close a junction box because any twisting of the wire can cause them to slip loose.
That's because it's standard terminology that means more than just 'making things'. There is also the Builder pattern which also makes things but which is not the same as a Factory. Besides, the word maker sounds weird.
I, on the other hand, would pick TS over .NET or Java any day. But I am sure you will conclude that it can only be because I am no good at my job.
This isn't a new debate in the modding community. There were all kind of opinions voiced. Robbie is not fond of AI voices, but he tracks NSFW mods because they are a natural concern.

Anyways, it is the custom there that Nexusmods moderation reacts to suspected mod asset stealing and such an issue can be raised by any website user (as mod authors often leave and are no more around). However, for the voice cloning/impersonating, it requires a notification from the original VA, or some other credible confirmation that the particular VA is against this.

What if I tell you “played Tears of the Kingdom for six months”? I’m quite serious; not only am I on month two, but many peoples’ side projects are a way to recover from burnout. The trouble is, they don’t realize they need to recover, so they disguise them as side projects — often disguising them from themselves, too.

I point this out to make you reconsider a bit whether you might be putting pressure in the wrong place. It’s an easy mistake to make, and one I’ve made many times.
That's just not true. Most of what you do is guessing. There is nothing in the game, for example, that will tell you who the second mate's steward is. You assume that it's the guy who you frequently see standing near the second mate.

There is also no indication in the game of who killed John Naples.
