I'm in the same boat. I loved Diablo 1 and 3, but Diablo 3 is just meh and I haven't even bothered with 4. The first two games it could be fun going through loot you'd found and try to optimize your character. There were only a few dimensions to each piece of equipment so finding the "best" a relatively easy. Even if you didn't have the absolute best stuff you could still play the game. The character optimization was an emergent part of the game, not the core focus of the game.

Diablo 3, especially with real money used to buy equipment, turned the CharOp into a core aspect of the game. If you didn't pay attention to that aspect the game could be mercilessly hard. So I couldn't just mindlessly play, I had to pause half way through the dungeon to go further tune all my gear across a dozen different dimensions.

The extra cognitive load means there's more steps between me sitting down and engaging something fun. If I have an hour to play a game having to spend ten minutes out of that time dealing with loot is just a tax on fun. It's bad enough that unless I play every day I have to wait some unbounded amount of time waiting for updates because of the forced online component.
Silly Rabbit - absolutely accurate times are a security problem. CPU designers (even waay back in Alpha @ DEC) intentionally introduced clock jitter, just to prevent total predictability. For x86, I think if you performed 3-4 of them, and then saved the values in to registers, and then upon completion reported those values, you would find that the time deltas are NOT exactly the same.
The latest patch is an abomination to make it even slower, grindier and less fun. Save your money.

Great point in the article. In https://opencoreventures.com/blog/2023-06-27-ai-weights-are-... I propose a framework to solve the confusion. From the post: "AI licensing is extremely complex. Unlike software licensing, AI isn’t as simple as applying current proprietary/open source software licenses. AI has multiple components—the source code, weights, data, etc.—that are licensed differently. AI also poses socio-ethical consequences that don’t exist on the same scale as computer software, necessitating more restrictions like behavioral use restrictions, in some cases, and distribution restrictions. Because of these complexities, AI licensing has many layers, including multiple components and additional licensing considerations."
Lawyers aren't allowed to identify their clients if the identities of their clients are unknown. It's part of attorney-client privilege.

Skadden has made use of in the past to hide their work for Putin affiliates. It's the reason that Skadden is the largest firm by revenue despite the lackluster quality of their work.

This is as bad of an argument as "You wouldn't steal a car" regarding piracy of media. Stealing a physical thing is never the same as obtaining a digital copy of something.

It might help as someone who believes they have aphantasia that the steps that I do in my head to list out the steps to go somewhere is identical to the steps I would list out to tell someone how to code something up. If you were to ask me for landmarks like stores that I would pass I would be able to do so, but I wouldn't be thinking of what they look like while listing them out just as I wouldn't be thinking of text while coding.

It's less instructions and more a full understanding of the structure at play.
This may be the funniest thing I've seen in a while. But also a warning about trusting AI generated content.

Now I'm curious if "Lucy Reed" is a real person who posts AI generated content or if that's just one of many fake people designed to give automagic content a byline.

Should there be a law requiring content houses to annotate stories written by AI? What if the story is written by a human but finessed by Grammarly?

This feels so unfair, like the insurance company is just looking for an excuse to break with this person.
Not sure what your problem is, I explained explicitly why I disagree. But you do you!
Yep, and even if the US regulates it, the public will take it underground, and overseas will keep pushing on. The cat is out of the bag.

I would still like to see these companies try and fix any negative externalities mind you. If they just throw their hands up at helping accelerate SEO spam then that'd be disappointing.
There is this thing called "reasonable dosage". A huge hunk of the current problem is the large-corporation- and Wall Street-based financialization of far too much of normal human life.

Ah, I see what you were saying now. Yeah, I don't have direct experience with those binary formats so I can't say. I'm not an Avro fan either but there are other binary formats like parquet that are easier to work with and at least in my corner of the tech world seems to have become the de facto standard.
Respectfully, you're mixing things again: you have described 2 separate unrelated things:

* A system like chat gpt that can do things a human cannot (find a way to kill all humans that's achievable by a small group).

* A system different to chatgpt that has its own motives and initiative.

Both need to be achieved.
The basic idea is whether an unauthorised derivative work is itself entitled to copyright protection: could the creator of the derivative work prevent copying by the original creator (or anyone else) of the work on which it is based, even though they themselves have no permission to distribute it? (if the work is authorised, this is generally considered to be the case). It looks like from this the conclusion is 'no', at the very least in this case. I'm not sure this matches most people's moral intuitions: every now and again a big company includes some fan art in their own official release without permission (usually not as a result of a general policy, but because of someone getting lazy and the rest of the system failing to catch it), and generally speaking the reaction is negative.
Of course if you create some super intelligent, general ai, and put it into a robotic humanoid its going to have a lot of agency.

However, Chat-GPT is only able to interact with people because it was hooked up to the internet not because it figured out how to access the internet. It also didn't create a worm and infect the entire world, the second you leave the webpage you no longer have Chat-GPT.

The way to keep the AI from accessing it shouldn't is literally just don't hook it up to those things in the first place.
I detest the smell of gas so every excuse to not touch anything is great for me.
A major city near me regularly flies small aircraft (and now, drones) over private property in order to find construction being done without a permit. They've been doing this since at least the 80s.

Just saying that this sort of thing is far from new.
It is impossible to solve climate change without government intervention. Capitalism is working, slowly, because solar and wind are cheaper.

But we will hit wall where the carbon-free alternatives are more expensive. The government will need to ban gas cars at some point, or use carbon tax to make them unaffordable. Same with carbon-free concrete, big industry, natural gas appliances, and transportation.

Also, we will need to do significant carbon capture, and that is pure cost. The government will need to pay for it with some kind of tax.
> Your "right to privacy" doesn't extend so far as to forbid your insurer from viewing your property.

I'd say it does, when they view parts of my property that I've walled off from ordinary view. It's reasonable to expect that photos of me won't be taken when I'm in my private backyard. My neighbors can't see into the yard. Pedestrians and motorists can't.

Yeah, random pilots flying overhead can look out their window and see me. But a targeted flight done for the purpose of photographing my private backyard (among other features) is a different scenario, IMO. I should be given a chance to deny this.

(Of course, maybe I already granted permission in Sec. II, Paragraph 34(c)(iii) of my insurance contract. I should read that.)

> The government tried to introduce a law to make the ownership more transparent. Didn’t really work.

Maybe, maybe not. Companies are not monoliths. For all we know, internally it’s already well known that model weights likely aren’t copyrightable and the only reason for the restrictions is to give the appearance of being responsible to appease the AI doomers.
Precisely this. The "move fast and break things" mantra came from a context where there were no users for the product yet and the people most inconvenienced by breakage are your own. It's a mantra saying "Don't worry about screwing up the UI team with a DB migration if it takes only five minutes to reverse the migration or ten minutes to tweak the UI; you can hash it out together and get back to work on the real problem." It's a reminder that exposing yourself to a little more pain now gets you to viable product faster, and the faster a startup gets to viable product, the likelier it is to take off before it hits the end of its runway.

It is not to be applied to destructive changes to systems users care about, and none of the companies named in the 2017 book by that title use that engineering tactic on their flagship products because real people care now.
> it's pretty insane that the USA lets companies hide who owns/controls them.

There's sadly been a move also in Europe to make it impossible for the public to learn who really owns a company[1]

Bear in mind that if you lose your home insurance and don't sign a new policy, a lender can and usually will foreclose upon it.

My grandma used to own a house near a naval air station in Virginia Beach. Eventually, the Navy bought the house and surrounding farmland just as what I understand to be a jet bailing area (somebody who lives closer to there can probably correct me on this). They actually offered a fair amount of cash and my grandparents were able to negotiate a little above and nothing had to be seized, thankfully. I'm sad to hear that the house was never torn down afterwards though and likely has squatters in it. I wish they would have done that for my grandparents.

But for the land around Travis Air Force Base... Just seize it. If you're going to buy land around a military base and obscure the owners, that's a fair action. 2-3 seizures like this and the land around military bases will be untouchable in the future.
Cold isn't usually a problem so long as you take proper precautions to not allow condensation to form inside the phone when warming it back up again - that's what electronics manufacturers are concerned about.
That is pretty awesome! When I joined the Java effort in '92 (called Oak at the time) the group I was with was looking at writing a full OS in Java. The idea being that you could get to just the minimal set of things needed as "machine code" (aka native methods) you could reduce the attack surface of an embedded OS. (originally Java was targeted to run in things like TV's and other appliances). We were, of course, working in C rather than Rust for the native methods. The JVM in Rust though adds a solid level of memory safety to the entire process.
Good points. Thank you.
There's a difference between sequestering and storing carbon.

Just an fyi - the couch coop for Diablo 4 is a little more work to get going than Diablo 3. Requires that the second player sign into their own PSN/XBL account and have that account tied to a Battle.net account:

>AI is capable of gobbling up "literally all the money" for its owners?

No, I think wealthy and capital rich companies can leverage AI to extract value from places that already extract value simply by underpaying people and use stupid rhetoric and other methods that they are very familiar with to continue buying up basically everything as most normal people struggle to survive.

I explicitly do not think "AI" or even AGI has any inherent danger in itself, and only has danger in the same way any automation has in a capitalist system that also gives richer people more power in the justice system and the political system: Rich will get richer by squeezing the non-rich even harder, while politicians don't care because most of them genuinely believe in capitalism as an unabashed and incorruptible good and the misinformation and discourse control that passable bullshit generated with a single keystroke grants them way more power
Not only that, but beyond the licensing issues it's really not supported by glibc itself because glibc will dlopen NSS and iconv, which link to libc, which leads to glibc being dynamically linked anyway except now you have two copies of it, which can play havoc on shared resources (like standard streams).

It's an issue from a licensing point of view, but it's also a rather poor idea from a technical point of view.

I'm not sure why anyone would even do that in the first place, LLama doesn't generate synthetic data that would be even remotely good enough.

Looking out onto a world filled with QAnoners and COVID-deniers and worse, it's becoming obvious that "social" media has driven a fair few people well beyond the bounds of reason.

You can do what the original OTR protocol did, i.e. "publish" previous authentication keys as soon as new ones superseding them are available.

But that's conceptually less elegant than what e.g. Signal does (which is to never even have non-repudiable keys available through their triple DH handshake construction, if I understand it correctly):

Technology advances have happened many many times in history. But there is always more work to be done.

I was reading Man’s Search For meaning, written shortly after ww2. The author notes that Americans have too much free time. Clearly that is not the case 80 years later.
That's the thing that makes me laugh at the pageantry of this time waste. Do people really think that US companies are the only ones working on this tech? I love how the US still has the notion that the rest of the world gives one iota about its "morality" dictates.
To call back a previous post: Is it a car in the park though?

We can all likely agree that trespassing physically on the property is not allowed.

But that's not what happened here. They were in airspace they were allowed to be in. They managed to view the property with equipment good enough to see what was in the area.

If you get high enough, you don't even need to go over the area itself. Hell, one of my neighbors has a house near enough my backyard that they can see clear over the fence from their upper floor.

I dislike this video as its such an old person take of the situation. No one is forcing people to develop for their platform. Roblox makes tools to make developing easy and provide a platform to get an audience. Just because young people want to use it that doesn't make them a sketchy company. Game development is not always going to be profitable, and like many other art forms people create games because they want to bring something from their mind into the world. Thinking that kids shouldn't be allowed to do creative things because it isn't profitable for them is just an overly negative viewpoint.

If these developers think its easier to release a game on a mobile app store and gain an audience nothing is realistically stopping them.
