Maybe you can't pick that these movies easily a priori, but this one in particular came from a pretty strong crowdfunding campaign. So that's potentially a bankable early signal.

My claim is that there is an underserved market and companies are starting to invest in it and create movies that aren't ultra low budget. More movies to come, and like any market with limited competition, an opportunity to watch for.

About DVD/Blueray sales, a separate and interesting discussion. Digital purchases were supposed to replace those, but with non-portable DRM and cumbersome UIs with subscription services, this isn't happening yet. I wonder if anyone will "solve" the problem of buying a movie in the 21st century, or maybe buying movies is dead for good?

I haven't looked at RPCS3's codebase in quite a few years at this point but when I last did there was still a bunch of x86 specific stuff that prevents it from being buildable for aarch, if it compiles and runs at all you will be stuck with having to use rosetta and moltenvk translation layers so performance is gonna suck.
That’s because most people who bought these machines 20 years ago now just buy laptops which are perfectly sufficient for their use cases.

Even if there was a 3000-400 desktop Mac Pro I doubt many people would buy it instead of a MBP.

If you need a laptop anyway what’s the point of getting an another machine which is just marginally faster? That wasn’t really the case 10-20 years ago when laptops weren’t really an option as a primary machine for demanding use cases.
I believe that's correct. The Nokia 9210 Communicator used Symbian OS.
Only Switzerland pays as much from what I know in Europe.

> He remarked that high-density UIs confuse and overwhelm most people, while technical people have developed the skill of sifting through lots of on-screen information and controls.

I think part of the problem here is that "high-density UIs" gets used in multiple ways. Some designers, perhaps not those with ready access to users, take high-density UIs to refer to the markings on the screen. A button with borders next to a text field with borders is considered to be higher density than a button without borders next to a text field without borders, because the borders visually divide the field up. And if the border lines provide an affordance (e.g. a button pushed up), then that's complexity (because the lines have different colors, which is more complex than a design where lines all have the same color).

But such an interpretation goes against the research of the 80s and 90s. I have never been directed to evidence that "complexity" and "density" refer specifically to visual complexity and visual density as distinct from conceptual complexity and conceptual density or widget complexity and widget density - all the evidence I've ever come across (as in the old evidence, or the medium post by another descendant comment of my parent comment) suggests that visual complexity and density actually operate to clarify conceptual/widget complexity/density.

So I think the claims made by practitioners need to inspected and made more precise. What kind of complexity and density are they trying to resolve? And what evidence do they have that this specific kind of complexity and density is problematic, rather than clarifying?
IME a big part of this misdirection stems from school focusing on the mechanics of math, rather than the intuition of math.

In the long run, the mechanics of math (how to do long division, or differentiate an expression, or expand a geometric series) are important only insofar as to help us model and predict and analyze the world, intuitively. However, students who do not intuitively see the power of mathematical intuition as a tool for understanding and modeling the world better, think that they are taught the mechanics of math just for the sake of "no phone/calculator/computer available" circumstances.
That's a motte-and-bailey defense. Yes, what you say is technically correct with respect to meaning of "conspiracy" and "theory" as individual words. But it's also completely false with respect to what "conspiracy theory" means in actual use - which is to group the subjects (here: people believing GPT-4 quality has been degrading over time, in spite of OpenAI strongly implying otherwise) in the same bucket as flat earthers, vaccine denialists, UFO believers, NWO fearmongers, etc.

Calling the belief "that the new GPT-4 quality had been deteriorated" a "conspiracy theory" goes beyond claiming the belief itself is wrong - it's also claiming that holding this belief implies significantly compromised reasoning skills. That is, it's just a drive-by insult.
The whole thing is imaginary: "In this paper, we propose Chiplet Cloud, a chiplet-based ASIC AI-supercomputer architecture that optimizes total cost of ownership
(TCO) per generated token for serving large generative language
models to reduce the overall cost to deploy and run these applica-
tions in the real world."

So they are comparing actual implementations with a theoretical implementation. Never mind that they got the A100 figures wrong, they are still in the 'wouldn't it be nice if we had 'x'' stage. This looks like a paper whose sole purpose is to raise funds for a research project that will probably ultimately go nowhere and they needed a reason that looks good on paper to increase their chances of getting funded. A100 can already be had for $0.87/hour so even their theoretical advantage is under significant pressure and assuming they got everything else right by the time the project has run the market will have overtaken them. This is what usually happens to CPUs that are application specific.
I don't know about Scottish-English and Irish-English, to be honest. Would an English native understand them?

Germans don't understand Swiss-German, and Swiss-Germans don't consider German as their mother tongue. Whereas the French being spoken on the French part of Switzerland is slightly different from the French from France, but people still consider that French is their mother tongue.

Not sure if that answers your question, or if you were just complaining about the fact that I made a difference between German and Swiss-German :-).

I don't get why calculus is always brought as an example.
It wasn't particularly hard, the entire class had to learn it in high school. We all had it (in a slightly harder shape) in every university course (no matter how detached from what we actually needed)

I forgot all my calculus after high school, had to relearn it in uni and then I promptly forgot again.

Exactly as the article says, it was more about proving we had the capacity (proxy iq test?) to learn it.

You don't need calculus in real life and I think the focus on calculus is ridiculous when we could explore other more practical areas, like category theory (which only my lucky friends who did advanced math got to play with)

You don't wanna replicate the movie. I imagine if you add colours, for example, you could make your own interpretation of the colour palette and so something really amazing but as a distance matrix... you'd be way off.

I think just adding some kind of moderation, for example allowing people to select the best frames out of a set of frames and so on, might be enough to get a much higher quality product.
Sharepoint is killing Excel since you cannot link spreadsheets anymore.

The shared spreadsheet model is killing productivity.

Same for Windows not allowing to sort programs in taskbar the way they were opened. Tons of office workers have multiple documents opened and dont even know how to try to unfuck their taskabar (that is still bad in Windows 10/11).
It makes you wonder if those singularity proponents don't have a point, and it all depends on whether it keeps accelerating or whether it will slow down again. I hope for the latter and I fear for the former. Even if it does slow down eventually a long enough period of such change is going to make the industrial revolution (whose negative effects we are still coming to terms with today!) like a walk in the park.
So instead knowing city -> offset mapping, you need to know both city -> TZ and TZ -> offset mapping, and end up with something worse (because TZ will never be perfect, so offset from TZ is usually worse than "human" offset based on the location).

I really see no benefit.
Third party code is a risk and should always be carefully managed and properly isolated.

This applies regardless of programming language.

Of course the web people and their "frameworks" is just another demonstration of how bad relying on third party code is.
Microsoft's 10k job cuts didn't quite do the trick

IMO they went AMD because that was the only real option left. PPC was dead by then outside of big IBM servers and ARM was just getting into low-end x86 performance levels. If PPC was still getting improved in the embedded space I think they might have went that way for backwards compatibility reasons.
The old "pixel art" UI and fonts could fit a lot more on low resolution screens, but there is no reason we should use them on modern >200PPI displays. The real "crime" of modern UI/UX are undiscoverable low contrast interfaces. To this day the classic MacOS 9 UI elements work better than anything Apple or anyone else came up with since. Have a look at this online emulator: https://infinitemac.org/1999/Mac%20OS%209.0
I don't agree. The second version is the typical way hand-written compiler lexers are written, and they're straightforward to add new "states" to, or to modify the states. The program counter is where you're "at", and the state space is normally straightforward. In fact it only gets complicated when additional non-control-flow state has been added.

A typical hand-written lexer looks a bit like this (EOF testing omitted for clarity):

// skip whitespace
while isWhiteSpace(peekChar())
nextChar()

// determine token type
switch (peekChar())
case isAlpha
start := currentPosition()
nextChar()
while isAlphaNumeric(peekChar())
nextChar()
tokenType = IDENT
tokenValue = substring(start, currentPosition())

case isNumeric
start := currentPosition()
nextChar()
while isNumeric(peekChar())
nextChar()
tokenType = INT
tokenValue = substring(start, currentPosition())
tokenAsInt = int(tokenValue)

case '+'
nextChar()
tokenType = PLUS

// and so on

Adding new cases to this is trivial. Nested context-specific lexical details (like escape codes in strings) aren't merged with a global state machine, and can be handed off to subroutines, enabling a modularity which is less confusing than having multiple state machines.

Dutch too in high school. Is that not everywhere?

Though I've never questioned why that wasn't the case in primary or tertiary education here, so maybe it's also not that normal for us. It's somewhere between annoying and a punishment, not seen as taking care of your own stuff, maybe that's different in Japan / elsewhere in general.

At work I feel weird about cleaning personnel, as though we consultants are above vacuuming the place every once in a while and such (and they leave wiped desks dirtier than they found them, typically wiping my clean-to-the-eye desk with a dusty rag).

The chad scraper.
Yes it does. I was particularly struck by that some years ago durig the digital TV switchover. The elderly father of a friend of mine had been using a TV with a simple one-to-one mapping between the numbered buttons on the remote and the channel which would be shown on-screen. He could manage this despite not having much sensation in his fingers, and poor eyesight.

Now he suddenly had to contend with two remotes, and in order to use the set-top box he would have had to build a mental model of how the on-screen EPG worked, develop some sense of current "location" within the menu, and get to grips with selecting an option - all stuff the rest of us take for granted without a second thought. But because of his failing eyesight, his failing sense of touch in his fingers, and an inability (and yes, a non-trivial amount of unwillingness!) to learn new interface concepts, it was basically the end of his unassisted access to TV.
MaybeUninit<T>::assume_init() is the unsafe call. The promise that this is actually a T and not just a T-sized blob of uninitialized memory is made by that unsafe call, and since it's unsafe it's your responsibility as the programmer to obey the constraint, that this is, in fact, an initialized T.

Depending on how long "a long time" is, you might well not actually have been thinking of MaybeUninit. The prior solution (until mid-2019) was as you describe, and it was in fact unsound.

Personal vote for Hoxton. Nice people and very knowledgeable, and ethical too. Note that many (top) EU VCs aren't in this dataset.

This is probably due to 'We only include firms where we received 100 or more comparisons to other firms.', which in Europe, where the VC landscape is - fortunately - much more fragmented isn't going to happen all that often except for seed funds.

Also, it might be worth it to add PE parties as well because that's one track where founders may well end up and those interactions do not always go smoothly.

To be fair, that is a relatively reliable assumption. The market incentives are set up that way, so either they are or they are pushed out by those that are.

This is a bit weird.

A friend reported a similar vulnerability at our company about 2 days ago.

Basically there was a insecure SMTP server that you could use to send emails from anyone (internal) to anyone (internal or external).

Literally every employee/contractor on the company network had access to exploit the vulnerability. All you had to do was know how to use the Send-MailMessage function in powershell or something similar.

We work at a publicly traded company, so you could imagine how bad this could've been.

I have no idea if they're using mailgun though. But I wonder if this is related or merely a coincidence?

Note: I'm being intentionally vague about the details for obvious reasons.

KubeVirt 1.0 has been released
Depends on the portfolio and strategy, but personally I think Intel is a Buy. They're burning money building new fabs with little indication that they can execute on their node or product roadmaps, but they've really took a chunk out of their cost-centre to the point where even during one of their worst quarters in the last 30+ years in terms of sales, they're still turning a profit. The Saphire Rapids Xeon is out finally out and making money after 3+ years of delays. The client products are the best they've looked in 15 years. They've got some big customers lined up for IFS. Considering the market was happy to price them at ~$64 just two years ago without all that information, makes me believe $33 is a poor market for where they're at. That's near enough their asset price.
