> I feel like, particularly with the new Diablo 4 they could make the leveling curve on the base game last MUCH, MUCH longer and it would actually be far more enjoyable for far more people. It would piss off the endgame crowd though, because all they want to do is get to max level as fast as possible so they can start farming.

They just did this, and made the game much more of a slow grind.

Diablo 4's greatest flaw, IMHO, is that they apply difficulty scaling across all areas. At level 1 it can take two or three single hits to kill a goat man, and at level 60+ it can take two or three hits to kill a goat man; because the mobs scale to your power level.

If they'd simply allowed some areas to be level-restricted with difficult mobs, then there would always be a sense of reward and victory. A player tired of the grind need only hop over to a slightly easier zone to feel like a god among mortals. But you can't do that in Diablo 4, so it just remains a slog.
They can use .su domains
With Diablo 3 they added so much QoL and grind protection and then people flipped their shit. So for Diablo 4 they discarded everything good from Diablo 3.

By and large, Diablo players want to be flagellated by the RNG.
Houses too …
Some people are just more cut out to study something intently than to reproduce. They leave other things to the future besides descendants.

No, it's similar to attestation APIs like android SafetyNet (now called Play Integrity API) that are used to check that "your ROM is valid according to Google".

Secure boot can protect you eg. against malware gaining write access and modifying your system. I see it as user protection, as long as you can sign the trust chain. This is what GrapheneOS is doing as far as I know.
Lots of economists are clearly wrong, as mutually excluding statements cannot be simultaneously true.
To find out which side is which, you can employ simple logic.

If you sustain a profitable information imbalance, you prevent the market from reaching a more efficient state. You steal from everybody else that way. And incur opportunity costs that will dwarf any profits made. Not necessarily on a short-term personal level, certainly on a societal one in the long run.

People have surprising difficulties understanding, they are that society.
Dr Gabor Mate has a book on ADHD that is very readable and covers this well.
Well, as this CHATGPT answer [0] states, it's all theoretical (since we do live in a supply constrained world), so I focused on the two key enticing properties of goal.

If you are interested in speculation, the ChatGPT response is pretty good.

Yeah I don’t get it - without search dominance google’s entire business model is highly vulnerable. Why have they allowed search quality to stagnate while pouring billions into random tech areas where they have little competitive advantage?

Nobody wants to see a page of copies/duplicates by SEO rank. I recall years ago there was, for a while, a similar issue with Wikipedia clones but that problem was addressed. Not just games, recipes, but music lyrics, chords, etc - googling almost evert niche interest is rife with it.
The IBAN 26 digit system is multinational/global.
A couple of problems:

1. We no longer have access to easy to mine resources, which is also how we know that there weren't any really advanced civilizations prior us.

2. A lot of knowledge has been lost on how to do the incremental steps between ice age to here.

3. Lots of people will die.

4. We have very little genetic diversity as a consequence of the previous ice-ages, and we haven't actually recovered.
Why not - a well-funded AC company will be more capable of meeting the challenge, and since people demand green solutions to things now, also be more able to develop more efficient climate control systems.

This of course will not happen on autopilot, so investors must as always keep a close eye on the CEO and vote in shareholder meetings instead of just buying-and-forgetting.

It doesn't solve climate change of course, but it does make a tiny improvement to one aspect of it. Multiply by every company touching the climate, and you can effect real change.
I’m to fried to read it today. Is it based on actual science? I mean people measuring natural phenomena and not just fantasizing about it?
Why did Meta open-source Llama 2?
1.) It's easier to contain or add energy that remove it from a system

2.) The ice ages occured more gradually so didn't disrupt food systems as much

3.) Ice age wood is great for instrument making so we got sweet string instruments out of it

4.) Most hominems died in the last ice age. It's speculated that all non homosapien species were wiped out during or due to the ice age.
Have you used any of these sub $100 devices? I just took a look, and all of the names are vendors I have no experience with what so ever. All of the vendors I am familiar are above that price point. So, my immediate concern would be these cheap ones are made from chips rejected by the name brands, and their performance would be rejected by me after wasting the time/money on them.

I was looking at NewEgg and not Alibaba/ebay/amazon
I love the fact that this exists, however my major concern is that because this is self-hosted, in the event of a dispute, the other party can claim that I forged the document. In such a scenario, how would I ever prove that I didn't?
Define fair price?

Fair prices when a buyer and seller agreed to as long as no one's lying. The fair price has nothing to do with how much money the buyer or seller make more lose.
> nobody uses them.

If by nobody you mean "no one outside of the mainstream", sure. But I don't need a lot of work to have my .eth domain resolving to an IPFS file, and there are browser extensions that will let you query ethereum blockchain and use it to resolve IP addresses based on ENS.
It was obviously a guesstimate not a statistic. It was my opinion but it is also correct, go outside and ask random people how they feel about this and find out for yourself.
What, stating a fact? Who is using .eth and .bit then?

I disagree with the idea that capitalism is a mechanism to optimize production.

In early days, capitalism did contribute to increased production- for example, the role it played in removing the crown's ability to grant monopolies in different fields to favorable subjects, and allowing private ownership at all.

Early monopolies and their place-men held back economic development, and allowing anyone who sees a new need to start a business definitely increased production, but Capitalism is governance by the owners of capital.

At this point, that is again holding back production, as capital owners (like the place men before them) incentives' are to increase their personal wealth even at the expense of production. We see capitalism inhibiting production most clearly in the way private equity consumes and destroys productive enterprises by loading them with debt, using the money to issue enormous dividends payable to the special class of shares held by the firm, and then selling the scraps of the company that remain after bankruptcy. This is also visible in the way that banks no longer offer loans to new businesses unless they have collateral to borrow against, and the flaws in how venture/angel investment works.

When optimizing for production, governments turn to policies that are considered socialist in order to remove these obstacles.

One category of this is stuff like social housing and free education/healthcare which reduce the cost of living for workers, increasing the size of a country's workforce and allowing cheap production of goods & services. Unemployment benefits and support for non-workers (like children and the disabled) also fall into this category, as that allows workers to change employers with less friction.
Other ways are limiting what owners of capital are allowed to do with their property- a prohibition on the Private Equity model of destroying companies would fall into this category, or subsidizing immature industry.

There is a balance between capitalist policies and state-controlled policies, where either side can inhibit production once it has power without responsibility to the citizens it operates on.
That is just on the surface, right? The mass of CO2 relased into the air per year compared to total sea water on earth is approx 1/35000. Does is really make such a big difference if dissolved in deep sea water?

It appears to be somewhere between a prank and satire. (or maybe they have larger ambitions.) If you take a look at their videos hosted on Vimeo, "Simulation" seems to be associated with a company called "Fable."

Just from a cursory look, it appears Edward Saatchi is associated with both. (although that could just be coincidental.)

The Vimeo account lists two websites, the first, fable-studio.com, which links back to the Simulation site and the other is for the Virtual Beings summit at virtual-beings.com. (Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/user94220217)

"Simulation" may be satire, an art project, a well-executed joke, or precursor to an actual company, but whatever it is, they've put a lot of work in it. It has a lot of AI-generated assets in the main site, but the overall design work is impressive, the concept has been well fleshed-out, and the execution is on point.

It's clever and interesting, I want to see what comes next.
The issue the video is presenting is that they are predatory to kids. Kids don't always have the skills/knowledge yet to know how they are being exploited, which is what these videos are discussing.

There are 100s of ways to be creative in game development outside of roblox that are approachable these days. Itch.io is a simple/open publishing platform. There are plenty of free/cheap game engines. Tons of tutorials on youtube for those platforms.

Those other systems aren't by default setup to lie that you will be the next rockstar developer, just as long as you pump more money into our closed ecosystem for more prominent placement on this front page, while skimming significant rev shares off the top that is opaque.

If roblox is your spark that gets you to think about what is possible, awesome, but those videos describe a corporate structure that uses fake currency, a closed ecosystem, and predatory tactics, to take your talent and make it their content.
This. There's a lot of room to improve in terms of build variety, and yet my kids and I have been having a lot of fun theorycrafting and coming up with our own builds.

There's a fun loop there in that finding new equipment let's you try new builds which helps you find better equipment. You're hunting enabling uniques, legendary aspects, critical mass of some necessary affix like thorns, crit, cdr, lucky hit, etc.

For reference, I have 3 toons on eternal at about 80, 70, and 60 respectively, with the 80 pushing NM 50 before the nerfs.

If your goal is to look up a meta build and rush Uber Lilith, the game will probably not be satisfying for you.
> just in case things continue to not change.

Given the world’s track record in not changing for as long as the alarm has been raised, I think this is a pretty sensible approach to take. At this point, it may well be more prudent for the individual to assume that the climatepocalypse is going to happen anyways, and prepare accordingly rather than continuing to hope for futile efforts to stem the tide

I wonder if she could sue Texas or the medical providers for not treating her condition ? To me this law suit should be able to succeed.
I really feel like they shot themselves in the foot making the Spider Forest so windy. I get it thematically-- getting lost in the forest fits, but not all sections of the act are like that and to make it the "first impression" is what makes everyone remember that they hate act 3.

Once you get to Kurast it's ya pretty linear. I think they should have stuck the easy-to-get-lost-in Spider Forest between lower and upper Kurast, and eased the player in more.
Fork chromium and have it return true. Problem, websites?
I played a lot of Diablo in high school while listening to Alice in Chains. For what it was, it was quality, different, and addictive. Modem and local IPX play with friends was interesting.

D2 was a letdown IMO. D3 is pretty good overall but lacks the charm of D1. I haven't tried D4 because it's $$$ and I'll wait until it's sold on sale.

During the pandemic, I bought CD copies of Diablo and Diablo: Hellfire because I wanted to patch, nocd, and mod them without intermediary tainting of modern distributions.
Obligatory counter-anecdote: by all accounts, I was a cheerful, happy little baby. My parents are wonderful people and we're a tight-knit family. And yet, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD by a doctor who, after finishing the diagnostic screening, asked "how are you not homeless?"

I also have a kid who was diagnosed at a young age. Said kid was also a cheerful, happy little baby that we love dearly and did our best to raise into an amazing young adult.

Which is to say that I'm not arguing against the study, but ADHD doesn't automatically mean neglect, or vice versa.
These are good points to bring up.

> This could wind up with some strange situations where someone generating output with the intent of using it for training could be prosecuted (or at least forced to cease and desist) but anyone actually using that output for training would be in the clear.

I'll add to this that it's not just output; say that someone is using another service built on top of LLaMA. Facebook itself launched LLaMA 2.0 with a public-facing playground that doesn't require any license agreement or login to use.

You can go right now and use their public-facing portal and generate as much training data as you can before they IP-block you, and... as far as I can tell you haven't done anything in that scenario that I can see that would bind you to this license agreement.

So I still feel like I'll be surprised if any AI company that's serious about wanting bootstrapping itself off of LLaMA is going to be too concerned about this license (whether that's a good idea to do just because the training data itself might be garbage is another conversation). It just seems so easy to get around any restrictions.
So far we mostly used technology to fuck things up.
By the way, Robot was initially tested at Nokia Networks Oy, and we on the NetAct business unit weren't that found of it.

Otherwise, another interesting episode.
of course. techbros been doing circles on all sorts of stuff
> It seems to me who is president does affect a lot of my life, from abortion, to Supreme Court rules that have majorly affected my life, to war, trade and the economy.

It does—the problem is the value of a single vote.

Odds are very poor—like, single-powerball-ticket-poor—that if you cast a vote for every single presidential election you can in your lifetime, anything about your life or anyone else's will be even slightly different. It's the least effective vote you can cast—yet seems like the only one people go out of their way to shame people over, if they don't vote.

The smaller the vote (and, in the special case of presidential elections in the US, the less stupid and disenfranchising the rules) the greater the effect. Even narrowing a close vote by one, if you don't quite put it over the top, can make a difference at the very-local level.
No-one is disputing the growing demand for charging infrastructure, or the unsolved problems in street-side or apartment parking-lot charging. That's not motorways though. It's not the same thing.
Also pretty outrageous how this is quickly ushered off HNs front page...
It makes a lot more sense for public transit, though: they’re located in dense cities with many vendors nearby. Same can’t be said of a car charging network.
Huh? if this were true, the plane would never have been safely landed in the Hudson by a human pilot. yes, the majority of flights are flown by the computer autopilot because of the fuel efficiency, but the pilot can take control at any point.

If nothing else this should be an indicator of how broken the land & real estate purchase system is in the US. We are literally the only country in the world that has no controls and no visibility over having large chunks of our territory bought out by a foreign resident, foreign business or even a foreign government.
>I think it is a fact of life that atrocities happen during war

No need to debate ethics. Shooting someone with a gun, killing them in a concentration camp, using an atomic bomb on them, bayoneting them. Just admit they are all bad. All sides are the same and it is BS for the US or Nazis or Imperial Japan or anyone to say anything was "for the betterment of the world".
If you believe that courts will find your shell game convincing, you are free to try it and incur the legal risk. I recommend you consult with an attorney before doing so.
I feel the same way about Diablo 1. I really like the art style and ambiance (the last Blizzard game for which that is true for me), but the gameplay is basically click on them until they're dead.

Show HN: CopilotKit – a hackable OSS copilot for any react app
CopilotKit is a typescript library for adding a hackable copilot to any react app.

You can let the copilot interact with your app via plain typescript closures, and give it (explicit) read access to app data.

An example user interaction could look like:
- "Which of these travel destinations has a rich architecture history?"
- [Copilot answers]
- "Great. Add these to my august trip folder, except the ones where it's typically rainy then"
- [Added]

Recursive agent integration (via Langchain) is in the works - if you have ideas I'd love to hear them here or on the discord.

Yeah no. Google Messages (almost) always go through Google services, not carriers. They are definitely their own platform.
Whoever is supposedly the leader. Could be an elected president or, to borrow from your example, a King or Chieftain.
Would definitely like to hear more about how they were able to narrow down to find a root cause. I also have factor 5 and have suffered some other non-specific symptoms (primarily extreme fatigue) but haven't been able to nail down a root cause. I'm curious if there was a test to find out how "thick" your blood was before you went on blood thinners.
I think most people who know they need an SSG know what SSG means. But yes, it might be more helpful for users who don't know that yet.
I don't want to dip too much into the conversation of whether weights themselves are copyrightable, but note that it's very easy in the case of LLaMA 1.0 to get the weights and play with them without ever signing a contract.

If they turn out to be not copyrightable, then... all this would mean is downloading LLaMA 2.0 weights from a mirror instead of from Facebook.
Instruction-tuning is the obvious use case. That much has nothing to do with subjectivity, alignment or censorship, it's will-you-actually-show-this-as-JSON-if-asked.

Well, _I_ feel impostor syndrome half the times I open HN honestly!

I did have a bit of experience with VMs before, I wrote many years ago a short series of posts about it on my blog, and at my previous job I dabbled a bit in JVM byte code to solve one very unusual problem we had for a customer. I also read the _amazing_ https://craftinginterpreters.com/ years ago and that gave me some ideas.

But this project was definitely big and complex. It took me a lot of time, and it got abandoned a couple of times, like many of my side projects. But I'm happy I finished it. :-)

I think this remains the biggest long-term risk with using bit.ly links. I have seen so much hard copy media with bit.ly links, especially technical books, that I shudder to think of how many dead links there will be if Lybia takes it offline.
