Bullfrog has that wild legacy of becoming Lionhead, then getting shut down by Microsoft.

It's interesting to see Playground Games now taking over Lionhead's legacy by building a new Fable game. They probably get overlooked as a strong (current) British developer because the Forza Horizon series has been an interestingly subtle niche for them so far, so hopefully the new Fable game will bring them some more (deserved) attention.

I have a feeling you're probably right about stress and HT.

I strongly believe everyone needs to lift weights. For me it helps with stress. It's a great way to funnel all the days work BS out of your body.

I feel super energized and at the top of the world, even after a quick 20 minute session.

As people get older and they lose muscle/bone density they have a habit of falling down and breaking things, so it's never to late to start. That's my main long term concern.
This looks a lot like how internet mobbing and other modern kinds of mobs get formed.
I'm also wracking my brain for this situation in one of the many metroidvanias I've played. There are many which let the player freeze enemies so they can be used as platforms but the enemies are also not moving by that point.

The most likely I can think of is Axiom Verge, which has a mechanism for "glitching" enemies that might allow for a non-frozen enemy to be used as a platform while it continues to follow the player character around. I'm not totally familiar with how each enemy glitches so it's only "likely" in the sense that I don't know it's definitely not possible.
I am basically in the camp of "it is impossible to have readily-accessible stuff that you don't have to constantly babysit".

I have a server in my basement with like 35tb of zfs storage to hold my blu-ray rips. The movies are backed up onto tapes, and those are more or less durable but not really readily-accessible (and kind of a pain).

A very large quantity of my time is spent mucking around with disks, and fixing data issues. Even when there's no data issues, there might be a transient read error which causes a fault and I have to spend time dealing with scrubs or at the very least checksumming files to make sure that they're fine.

A masochistic part of me kind of enjoys it, but honestly it's gotten to a point where I'm debating just paying some money to Hetzner or Amazon and selling off the servers.
You're on a road, on foot or small vehicle, and you see a truck coming on collision course. What to do? You get out of the way.

Obviously we can't deflect Earth from its orbit. This project showed we're able to deflect 'small' asteroids. In time, we may be able to deflect bigger ones.

@ Some point, there will be an incoming asteroid that's too big to make it avoid collision. When (not if!) that happens, only option might be to escape into space, watch Earth being hit, and maybe return there some day.

Chances are this will happen so far in the future, that humans don't exist any more, or have moved to other planets or even star systems, with Earth being just one of many homes.

So... who cares. As long as we can avoid species-killing event long enough for significant numbers of us to get off this rock, our species could survive. That is, if we don't nuke ourselves first.
Plunder does not use much of Urbit's terminology, outside of the linked gist, which was intended for Urbit devs, and which was cross-posted here by someone from Twitter.

I've been following along w/ Plunder for the past 10ish months out of personal interest, and I find the terminology to be about as straightforward as one can expect for a technical domain which is quite complicated.

perhaps this document is more straightforward? feedback is welcome.

New EPA Tailpipe Standards Call EV Promises into Question
I don't know what your legal credentials are (are you a lawyer?). I had an article cited in an amicus brief to SCOTUS for the CLS Bank case, plus a shorter one in Law360. What have you published? Aside from that, I helped with numerous claim construction briefs.

I highly recommend you educate yourself about the distinction between common law and statutory law, since you seem confused:

> A clarification of the term "common law" is in order at this point. While
common law may have originally referred to a body of law thought to exist
in common across jurisdictions under generally accepted standards of legal
reasoning, I use the term here to distinguish statutory law made by
legislators from case law made by courts. It is well understood that each
state has its own common law, crafted by its courts under the supervision of
the state supreme court, subject only to the supremacy of federal statutory
and constitutional law.

Corporations' relationship to their contractors is most definitely not "common law." At most, it's administrative law, and if we come to questions of interpretation, it's statutory law.

You are reading far too much into something that was neither a joke nor a political statement. But it is awfully telling to see how dissenting narratives tend to get viciously derailed, early and often, without any constructive discussion about the actual premise.

They will set up one or more shell companies in a non-suspect country but with less regulation oversight. Think Africa, like Morocco.

Then strip them and send them to their overhaul locations.

There’s a principle of monitoring systems and their alerts: “Only alert actionable events.” Applied to this case, if a ToS changes, what can a user do about it? (Let’s not pretend that they will read the entire ToS again every time, or that they even read it the first time.) Even if the change was obvious or highlighted, and even if the change was detrimental, what could a user actually, realistically, do about it? Stop using the service? If the change is that bad, they’ll probably hear about it anyway.
I understand-- what about the use of a debt collector? Wouldn't it be better to settle for N, where N is greater than 0? Especially if the collector does all of the work/time investment?

You're correct with interpreting how the model works wrt it returning tokens one at a time. The model returns one token, and the entire context window gets shifted right by one to for account it when generating the next one.

As for model performance at different context sizes, it's seems a bit complicated. From what I understand, even if models are tweaked (for example using the superHOT RoPE hack or sparse attention) to be able to use longer contexts, they still have to be fined tuned on input of this increased context to actually utilize it, but performance seems to degrade regardless as input length increases.

For your question about fine tuning models to respond with only "yes" or "no", I recommend looking into how the jsonformers library works: https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer . Essentially, you still let the model generate many tokens for the next position, and only accept the ones that satisfy certain criteria (such as the token for "yes" and the token for "no".

You can do this with openAI API too, using tiktoken https://twitter.com/AAAzzam/status/1669753722828730378?t=d_W... . Be careful though as results will be different on different selections of tokens, as "YES", "Yes", "yes", etc are all different tokens to the best of my knowledge

Localization Services
Hi, I am looking for companies which can provide localization services. The application we have created need language support in different languages. The app is built taking I18N into consideration. All texts are in the resource files.

Are there any vendors :
1. who can extract these resource files and provide language specific translated resource file
2. Can their solution be integrated in the CI pipeline, which can notice any new texts added/modified/deleted to trigger the localization services

Thanks! T
What exactly is the point your trying to say?
Cranking out an admin dashboard in react then also means supporting an admin dashboard. The dev is now on the hook for user issues, additional feature requests, hey can you just add this other field, etc… The dev is interrupted and distracted from other work while the other internal team is slowed down and blocked waiting for the dev to clear their tickets.

If you have semi-technical users (can muddle through generating SQL using stackoverflow) then unleashing them on a read-only DB copy with an app builder can be better for everyone involved.

Something like: “Hey I saw your ticket requesting a ‘user address’ field in the dashboard, do you want the mailing address or billing address? Lmk then I can probably add this today and it’ll go live in the next deploy” -> user instead adds the field on their own in < 5min

Lots of additional use cases for other db interactions too where “let’s just spin up an internal admin panel in the app” can turn into days or weeks of getting input and now the design needs to be thought about and more stakeholders consulted vs. absolute basic functionality being stood up in Retool in a couple of hours. It’s sort of similar to presenting a wireframe instead of high-fidelity mock-ups

That sucks. Personally, I won't go beyond the first interview without at least a brief discussion of salary.

I always ask what they're targeting first, but if they decide to be cagey, I'll throw out a range where the low end is comfortably above what I'm currently making, enough that I would actually consider the offer.

I already get paid pretty well, so I think this has saved myself and others quite a lot of time.

(I also tend to reply to recruiter emails with a polite "no, thanks, but can you share the pay range for this role?". Maybe half reply with numbers, which is enough to keep a good sense of where the market is at.)

The prices really are not exact, but they are close. Fetching the prices from real-time sources and then using AI to transform them into information seems to be a good approach (currently we're using AI only)

We will add links soon. We have this feature already, it's just not available because the prices don't match (the AI price is higher than the actual Amazon price, for instance)

Your feedback is much appreciated and very very helpful, thank you so much.

You have no basis for the assertion that typhoons in the Pacific will become more frequent. Firstly, we have no reliable way of predicting the number of typhoons or hurricanes per season, even one season in advance. We certainly don't have the ability to predict them decades in advance.

In the Western Pacific, the top recent years (as in late 20th century to present) for tropical cyclones were 1964, 1985, and 1971.

In the Eastern Pacific, the top recent years for tropical cyclones were 2015, 1982, and 1992.

In the Atlantic, top years were 2005, 2020, and 1973.

There is no trend, there are periodic spikes in the various regions of the ocean. Hurricanes are strongly influenced by the ENSO (El Niño) cycle and multidecadal oscillations in the heat content of the Atlantic (AMO) and the Pacific (PDO), which humans don't control or influence.

See:

Yes, the annihilation of humanity is basically impossible in the near-term without a celestial disaster, but the functionally-permanent end of modern civilization is not.

Like, reasonable scenario: Climate change causes mass starvation and environmental inhospitability. Mass-deaths and some very violent migration happens. The last few years have showed us how fragile our infrastructure is, right? Between covid-shutdown supply-chain problems and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we're seeing how fragile civilization is.

It's not crazy to imagine privation leading to violence leading to destroyed infrastructure leading to more privation in a vicious cycle.

This ultimately could lead to a return to a comparatively primitive society where anything that relies on sophisticated supply-chains is out of reach. Like moving 100 years back in time. But the tech of the day depended on far easier mining, sources which are now mined out. So we've destroyed the bottom rungs of the ladder that we no longer need... until we do.

And also, industrial-age tech is carbon-intensive. Is it possible to build decent solar cells and wind power without a global supply chain? Or will we burn down the world for power, causing even more climate change, which will create another vicious cycle?

So we could be looking at a technological and civilization-level regression that wouldn't be remedied until another geological era.
Depends on how lucky one happens to be, specially in large code bases, touched by dozens of consulting companies, and offshoring deliveries.

Heh. If there's anything worse than an open office in my mind, it's being locked in a small room with someone else. At least the pervasive need to self monitor due to constant surveillance is somewhat diffuse in an open office. In a small room, nothing can escape attention.
If this was a no-code solution I would agree. But the developers themselves are in this thread saying things like: "One of the key differences is our code-first preference over no-code, which distinguish Refine from the drag-drop style workflows of Retool, Appsmith, Tooljet, Budibase etc." Their github README has a short 75 line snippet that shows the React-ish code one needs to implement a basic dashboard for a generic REST service. One of the top comments was from an operations guy asking: "Why do I have to choose between next.js and Remix?" Clearly they are targeting this towards development teams to lessen their burden and not directly at support teams to roll their own. Choosing between next.js vs. Remix only makes sense to a developer.

As for "2-3 hours" in no-code vs. "1 week" for a developer, I might challenge that. In many cases if a support team (sales, customer service, marketing, etc.) asked a product team to build something custom for them then they are going to quote product development timelines. However, Most places where I've worked where admin tooling was expected and high-quality the admin features were part of the product feature development. In general, most functionality would be added in some small part of the feature dev time. For example, a 2 week sprint for a new product feature might include 1 day of adding functionality related to that feature to the admin. That is to say, your 1 week quote is almost definitely not the time it would take to add the features but a block of time the product team is quoting to make you go away. That is an org problem, not a technology problem. With Refine, I don't think you will bypass this problem since you will need someone capable of using at least React and whatever stack you configure the tool with.
It's not about the NSA so much in my view, it's about the west simply most likely going completely along with America as long as it doesn't involve going to war (e.g. Iraq) which could cost them an election. And a number of European countries are clamoring for draconian surveillance themselves.

As something of a dumdum myself I think I know why. Corporations want people to be able to do their thing as easy as possible to make money, while people not directly motivated like that and not motivated to make it as easy as possible can do anything else. So instead of "make sure it's just a button click" it's "what, you didn't read all 580 pages of the documentation and all the changelogs and the code on github and compile it yourself on a custom built $40,000 machine? We don't help your kind around here go away" and yeah people go right back to windows or twitter or whatever.

I presume you're talking about REST apis? If that's the case then virtually every language has a client built in. That's part of the advantage of using HTTP from the API vendor's point of view.

As far as publishing a spec, I don't know but I'm guessing part of it is a reluctance to commit to anything (which does kind of defeat the purpose of a public API).

Exactly, this information being harvested can 100% be used against you.

For example, Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, attempted to secure a list of every Texan who changed their gender within the past 24 months, stating they may need drivers license numbers in the future to look up their information. The only reason that didn't happen is because the Department of Public Safety said they couldn't accurately produce that information.

Just imagine a state, or a foreign government subpoenaing or hacking Nvidia to get this information they're collecting. Now that state or foreign government doesn't just have your browser history like if they subpoenaed your ISP. They have everything you did on that computer. What's on your hard drive, what games you played, what devices are connected to your computer, etc.

I try to not go down the slippery slope analogies, but a company having this treasure trove of information on 82% of desktop users is going to make it ripe for hacking and state-sanctioned spying.
