> if you (1) are good at generating ideas

I have been joking with my former boss (who is a professor) about how easy it is to come up with good ideas. We each have five to six One Billion Dollar ideas before breakfast, and another 1-2 while in the shower! /s

Coming up with ideas is _ridicolously_ easy, executing on them is the hard part. If you're a seasoned researcher, it shouldn't be hard to guess at the "meta" of your field, you're probably aware of promising ideas discussed among your colleagues. What if you faked results, proving one of these ideas?

And the bar for cheating is _suprisingly_ low. I'm not a researcher myself, but I've experienced how my work is torn apart in peer review. But if you're dealing with data, apparently no one makes sure to actually check it before approval.[0][1]

The article says a lawyer firm they hired say it's legal. They dedicate a significant portion of the article to it. So I don't understand how you can just it's illegal.

Nintendo doesn't have any right, in the legal sense. That doesn't mean it's smart for Valve to make an enemy of Nintendo. It's obvious Nintendo uses that pressure. Not legal pressure. The DMCA claim is just pretense.
I don't buy these arguments about 'This cheap computation is 6x faster than this other alternative cheap computation'.

For example, in JavaScript, using standard 'for loops' with index numbers is a LOT faster (over 16 times faster for basic use cases) than using Array.forEach(), yet all the linters and consultants recommend using Array.forEach() instead of the standard for loop... What about latency??? Suddenly nobody cares about latency nor performance.

The reason is that these operations which use marginal amounts of resources are pointless to refactor. If a function call which uses 1% of CPU time* (to service a standard request) has its performance improved by 'a whooping' 50%, then the program as a whole will use only 0.5% less CPU time than it did before.

* (where all the other operations use the remaining 99%)
What does the /s/ before the signature mean on the document sent by Nintendo?

Searching the internet for it is making me increasingly upset. No I don't mean Xbox s, I put the damn thing in quotes for a reason.
I wonder how does its green house gaz emmissions/air pollution for their energy production fare in regards of its neightbors/the world.

We would need per capita and absolute, and maybe domestic/industrial, well the most honest standard metrics as possible. It is Germany, I guess we can trust their metrics.

Rumors say Germany is not big enough for 100% solar/wind/hydro/geo even reducing significantly its energy needs? (because if a country can pull that off in the world... well... it's is one of those countries)
Ask HN: Story behind every browser is just a customized skin over Chrome
How do you deal with the struggle of losing functionalities over every updates?

What do you feel when you want some fresh air and install a new browser, but feels the same. Even the setting menu is as empty as Chrome.

What are those unique functions that you miss so much?

For example I remember that Vivaldi Mobile in 2020 can save the whold webpage locally. I use that to store html books to read them offline. But now this function just disappeared from the menu.
Nintendo would have to want to sell games on steam that work with emulators like dolphin. This they are afraid will hurt hardware sales, so it won’t happen.
> If you cover the entire ocean than that is not an issue.

Covering all oceans with active sonar will probably kill a lot of marine wildlife.

Not to mention all your beacons in enemy waters will be destroyed, if not many more.
Sure, there are loanwords that have become rooted in Romanian. But (unless one is part of a minority of people using English every day e.g. at work) a lot of those English words in Romanian are affectations of youth that disappear with age. The linguistic behavior of all my hipster friends changed radically as soon as they settled down into staid family life.
Pretend this wasn’t education, but literally any other field.

You want KPIs that you can measure that are based somehow on reality.

The problem with public education in the US is teacher’s unions fiercely fight against any sort of KPI, because they would then be evaluated on actual results. They much prefer to have bullet proof tenured jobs for life with no accountability.
I am not familiar with Tessier-Lavigne's work, except that it concerns Alzheimer's disease. Is there a summary of what findings / hypotheses are now in question?
Agreed.

A lot of people here seem to think Nintendo would not claim it illegal without the circumvention code or wouldn't write a letter saying that.
This is totally wrong and shows a complete lack of historical understanding of Nintendo and their legal threats and lawsuits going back decades. Nintendo has repeatedly sued even when they lose. Nintendo has even sued companies for making unlicensed games. Not homebrew, but commercially successful games.

Others seem to believe valve would suddenly be okay with it without circumvention code. This seems naive at best, delusional at worst.
That letter includes a threat to valve on distribution. As above, Nintendo isn't going to say "it's fine now I guess". They would happily sue valve with or without the code. Valve may want to partner with them someday.

Valve may be better than most but it seems very unlikely for them to want to die on this hill. The good will does not seem worth the trouble.
I am glad to see Intel still pushing faster single-threaded performance. Many (most?) important workloads are not meaningfully improved by adding cores.
>The NYT needs to make money to pay its Journalists.
Don't threaten me with a good time.

If j*urnos want money, they should choose to start acting in a way that deserves it at some point. In this case, if "The Paper of Record" needs to be regularly recorded from outside to be held to account for shoddy jobs and stitch-ups, exactly what service is it actually providing?
Some people like the convenience of a single application that saves your settings and backs your saves up to the cloud instead of many different ones you have to micromanage, especially across different machines
Huge +1 to this. I had one lecturer who would essentially rant at us about security vulnerabilities every week for a semester, and then write a paper based on his rants.

Some students ignored his rants because they didn't find the subject interesting, did the past papers, and then got to the exam and did terribly, then complained about the fact that "it's all based on his rants".

Others found the ranting engaging because it was deep dives on obscure bits of computer security history. My year he spent ~4 weeks going on about Stuxnet, including deep dives into the wider political context. When I got to the paper, one of the few questions we could choose, for 50% of the paper, was just "What was Stuxnet". I wrote pages and pages. Figured out from marking that I got full marks on that one. I always did great in that lecturer's modules despite never taking notes and rarely doing any targeted reading.

To show the level of engagement, I once turned up to one of these lectures 10 mins late, with most of the class already there, and the lecturer said "oh I wondered where you guys were, I guess I'll start again". He knew we were the only ones who cared about the class.
Great comment.

Related thoughts: "design systems" / UI component libraries often have interactive documentation sites (e.g. built with Storybook), showcasing variants and providing "knobs" / controls to edit props and see the results in realtime, so lib consumers can see a component working (in isolation) and generate a code fragment copy/pasteable into their own downstream app.

Also, extending your item (3), project maintainers often ask people reporting bugs to provide an MRE (Minimum Reproducable Example) in a standalone repo. I've noticed a few such cases where the maintainers make this much easier by sharing a link to a basic preconfigured codesandbox or stackblitz for exactly this MRE purpose. I think this idea will catch on and become much more common.
Zooming in, it's terrifying.
I thought ddr4 and ddr5 were in the same ballpark for performance, with the latter using less power and needing more on the fly error correction. Which basically makes ddr5 seem worse than ddr4, so hopefully I'm missing something. Pretty sure there isn't a 2x in bandwidth gain.
Steam Cloud synced save games are nice for people with a Steam Deck.
> Security, Durability, and Availability. In that order.

The ordering of security and durability very much depends on the needs of the customer.

Some data is vastly more valuable to malicious actors than it is to you, e.g. ephemeral private keys. If lost you can simply replace them, but if (unknowingly) stolen it can be disastrous.

Other data is vastly more valuable to your than to malicious actors, e.g. photos of sentimental events.
an international organizaion does not pass laws in any country. NGOs such as that one (which I admit did not know existed) influence countries into shifting their laws over a long time

when I stared coming online, national talk about IP laws was just starting out. I don't keep up to date with law reforms, but in the late 90s mainstream awareness was shifting into this mindset of IP law. and back then, the law still spoke of those 3 concepts on their own. I suppose now it's really just one blob of ownership over ideas for the sake of some misguided market-ideology
For domestic USA I get a companion pass with SW for two years right at the beginning of the year. I rinse and repeat and only book with SW. Credit card offers are the best way to do this and there’s plenty of sites talking about it.
> code which is illegal under the DMCA.

no that code is most most likely not illegal at all because there are cases, under DMCA, where code like that is fully legal

this is nothing but a ruse of Nintendo threatening Valve to avoid having to do a proper DMCA request/suing as such an action can be disputed in court, an dispute Nintendo is likely to lose

so it's basically Nintendo pressuring Valve to circumvent proper DMCA enforcement procedures in their favor in a sketchy dishonest way which undermines the law (but might happen to not be illegal)

if Nintendo would think it's illegal they would already have used DMCA to take down Dolphin everywhere, instead of using such roundabout ways
Haha. This submission is here due to the Firefox-Chromium thread in the front page.

Sweet! The SaaS pricing in this space is insane. Will look into it.
ASRock DeskMini A300, running a Ryzen 3400G and 32 GB of RAM and hooked up to an 8 TB ZFS pool. The whole deal is hidden behind the monitor on my desk. It's running a whole pile of self-hosting stuff (Plex, Home Assistant, Seafile, Syncthing, Pi-hole, Wiki.js, Photoprism, Wireguard, Mail Piler, backups, etc) and hardly ever breaks a sweat. I also have a no-name mini PC from Aliexpress running backup DNS and VPN in the garage.
It's not that the past is not true. The past is true, what was reported is not. We know very clearly where the problem lies. The media is a lie. Headlines like "she'll never walk again" sells more than "she'll be fine".
I don't understand why you are projecting the build of a few individuals onto a whole society.
Sure, a llm might not be general enough/trustworthy enough yet, but transformer based analysis of drone sensory data surely is already being tested/developed? I'm no engineer but I think it is fairly obvious they'd train their own models not trust an off the shelf general LLM
I use https://healthchecks.io, how is Peeng better?
I've been making a game system in which the core mechanic is using a limited language to describe magical effects, so it's a long way away from the intended purpose for both Toki Pona and Mini. However, I've found that Mini is far easier to work with and more expressive for my purposes because it's easier to put structure into the statements using the particles to indicate what part of speech is intended for each word. The selection of words also seems to be surprisingly well-chosen, because most of my use cases have been pretty straightforward to express.

I haven't really tried to limit the system to just Mini Kore (which is also 120 words, like Toki Pona, and would be a more direct comparison), mostly because Mini's current size actually seems to have the right feel. It might be an interesting experiment though.
Are you serious here? You think the Dolphin team can meaningfully affect Valve here? That's delusional.
> Of course as with many things in japanese culture they carried Tempura to a next level

That is true. Although to experience the real thing you really have to be in Japan.

Sadly the Westernised versions of Tempura are more often than not massacred imitations.

The most common errors in the West are that the batter is wrong or, the most common of all faults ... the oil is old.

With true Tempura in Japan, the oil is frequently refreshed during the course of service and in addition is not shared with other deep fried foods. Both of which actions serve to maintain the delicate taste and texture of true Tempura.

Sadly in the West (if you're lucky !) the chef will simply dump the Tempura in the same deep-fat fryer that he's been using all day to fry god knows what else.
I didn't realise my belief had to be novel in order to be valid. Or is it only when you associate my belief with the boogeyman of Foucault?

> you also assume there is one form of expression per "group"

I didn't assume that or imply it in any way. I understand that there various linguistic strata and they each have their own substrata. I still stand by the assertions I made above, as while there are inter-group power dynamics at play in the defining of "brow level" there are of course also intra-group power dynamics.

Is this a correlation->causation thing, where people who experience significant hearing loss also experience dementia more than healthier people who have healthy ears and healthy brains?
I guess when:

- you live in the mediterranean area (plenty of olive oil and sea food),

- red meat is not a daily staple,

- fruit is not available all year,

- fasting is done as part of religious practice, and

- sugar is only rarely added to meals,

it's way easier to stay lean.
The problem with these people is, they are allowed to resign and say sorry, they dont get treated as potential murder suspects or criminal assaulters by proxy, if such a law exists, because we dont know if their work is being cited and used for drug treatments. Here in the UK, the part of NHS that decided what drugs can be prescribed by GP's called National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), hide behind secrecy when choosing what drugs GP should prescribe.

There just isnt enough accountability of the people at the top.

No, I don't think it makes sense either.
People with a population centre that isn't atop a known and historically active fault (such as Basel), people that are already living in a geologically active fault zone such that risks introduced by fracking are dwarfed by straddling the "ring of fire" already.

I'd rate those as valid informed decisions.

The stress on 'informed' is because it many countries it's rare for industry to be open (or forced to be open) with the wider public and rare for the wider public to have an effective say in such decisions.
Apart from Google Flights, I often use azair.com, because it will let you do 'fuzzy searches' such as "any airport in Germany to any airport in Italy". If you want to take a journey that's rarely served, it's often quickest to add in a leg by high speed rail than adjust your travel plans around a rare direct flight, or take a multi leg plane journey via somewhere out of the way.
Germany has almost twice the per capita emissions of France[1].

This was a long time ago. It was a small bank. I also heard it through the grape vine and not from him himself. I could definitely be wrong but this is what was told to me by someone who was there.
It’s the notion that “extroverts” aren’t capable of holding deep, intellectual conversations or that “introverts” are more prone to them. I accept that may not have been your intent, but it’s how I read that comment.

I fully agree with the second thing you said.
"History is not true. You can change history. The actual factual events are such a small part of the story. Everything else is interpretation."

OK, you've discovered post-modernism.

Next step is to avoid its pitfalls.

The actual factual events are infinite and one is exposed to a small subset to interpret. That does not mean you're allowed to make up, distort, and selectively ignore facts to suit whatever narrative you'd like to push. You need to construct the narrative in good faith, based on the best possible set of facts you're exposed to, and adjusting it when you're exposed to new facts.

Unless you want to organize a cult or a totalitarian regime, in which case go as crazy as possible with the narrative. People love it.
Exactly there is no claim because a claim can be disputed in court.

If Nintendo believes they had a valid claim why only enforce it with Steam but no other places Dolphin is available?
So you replace sethc.exe with what?
Doesn’t windows use full disk encryption like macOS does these days? How would you unencrypted the boot drive without the password?
I enjoy wine as well, but not on a daily or even weekly basis. And I do have unsweetened soy milk in my morning porridge.

I heard someone say " drink water, coffee tea and wine. And milk if you are below 5". It was tongue in cheek, but I have taken it to heart.
The hacks had to be flamboyant. If the hacks weren’t embarrassing the “adults” in suits would deny the hairy person in a t-shirt knew what they were talking about.
This is what I have in mind when I think of desktop software. A full stack of technologies. A unified vision.

Someone put it like this recently: the audience for specs is browser vendors, and the audience for MDN is web developers; ideally, you shouldn't have to go to the specs if MDN describes the features well enough to get your application running or your problem solved. MDN docs consider the practical aspect of how application developers will use features or why they should care, so there is a need to keep the content accessible in as many ways as possible.
They likely do not want to make an enemy of Nintendo, whether Dolphin is legal is only tangentially related.
Definitely going to formally evaluate this; it looks straightforward enough to administer and prices outfits like Docusign charge are just north of silly.
One of the things that surprised me was that she was identifying manipulated and duplicated images using her own eyes.

This could be done via software, and might catch more papers than the ~6k out of 100k that she did.

In the software world, there are tools for this, "software composition analysis". I worked at a company that got busted for violating GPL, and as part of settling the suit, all software had to be run through BlackDuck and all warning/issues found by the tool had to be resolved before the software could be released.
(NOTE: the software that violated GPL was from an acquisition)

Do you actually need the extra performance?
I haven't had such downtime for the last couple of years (working on early-stage startups) but I'd really like them back in the corporate for personal growth as a developer in three ways:

1. Create a new side project unrelated to work, such as a tool or library I always wanted to create.

2. Learning a new stack/domain by creating a product with it. This way, I got proficient in Go language back then.

3. Look around in the corporate and see what I can hack myself for personal growth, AKA intrapreneurship. For example, I went to a CTO office of a sibling organization and asked them if they wanted to do a PoC together with our organization on something new.

If I had such time now, I would look around for a problem in my product/life that I can solve with LLM and try to create a PoC of an LLM product (maybe with a creative UI) that will teach me a lot and maybe get some users.

On the other hand, if you want as a goal to get a position in a FAANG-style company, this is a great time to do a leetcode learning path and get ready for interviews for such jobs.
I am implying that the real problem (or close to it) is the unlimited acquisition of wealth - I mean individuals who can afford thousands of homes.

But speaking of reason - it certainly has its limits. If reason is ignored, it may well eventually succumb to anger.
Why are Go/JVM/CLR better than V8? Is it the single threaded thing or is there more to it? I thought V8 would be performant especially for this very IO bound use case.
Not the exact same feature set as highlight, but the platform I'm building[0] is self-hosted only for this exact reason: companies that have SaaS as their main business-model have negative incentives to make their self-hosted offering too good or easy to install/use.

Tech Team Dead Weight a.k.a. Lutz
If you've worked in tech and have any degree of actual talent, you have run into the following scenario: You are on a team and that team has at least one member that isn't pulling their weight. The reasons why generally range from a lack of work ethic to a lack of talent. Regardless that person can't seem to get themselves fired. Why is that?
