To each their own. In fairness to the current Switch, frame upscaling via FSR already exists in everything from DOOM to Tears of the Kingdom. You may already be playing upscaled 480p games.

The point of naming those technologies was mostly just to spitball different things Nintendo and Nvidia might be interested in. It's hard to say what they focus on for the next generation.

No, GP is correct, "AI" as a buzzword means very little at this point.
The difference between moral agents and amoral agents is only relevant if you care about non-physical effects of morality. The legal system wouldn't need to change if we just believed that no one is a moral agent - this is what I'm trying to say. So, to the extent that free will is required for being a moral agent, doing away with belief in free will would not require any changes in the legal system.

Indeed. Hopefully Nintendo releases more games from it on the Switch, but the rumor mill and message from Dolphin is that GameCube games are often harder to emulate on the Switch than Wii games. Data miners also reported that Super Mario Sunshine had the most tech work done to get it running compared to 64 or Galaxy.

But if you are Nintendo, the Wii and the Switch are about equally successful phenomenons. That didn’t save them from the Wii U; and the success of the Switch certainly won’t save them from a Switch 2 implosion. Even if the games are good (like the Wii U launching with Mario Kart 8, now the bestselling Switch title.)
It’s newsworthy if you live there when it’s 108 degrees in a house built such that it will easily reach 95-100 inside with just an hour of AC outage.

Which is basically every new house in Texas.
this is one of the reasons why Langchain sucks. People seem to underestimate and overlook the importance of prompts.
I still don't see a difference. The second is simply an uncharitable reading of the first.

I just have in my personal systems ls aliased to exa (with some of my preferred options like group-directories-first) and on other systems it's still ls. So my usage is the same regardless of whether it's exa or ls. This isn't a programming language or a complicated tool like jq vs competitors where what I need to do changes. I just get the nicer presentation on my local machine and "graceful degradation" back to the defaults of GNU ls on remote machines which don't have my preferred setup installed on them.
I like ll a lot for ls -ahlF, but I do run into its absence a lot on a remote machine. At that point, I'll just set the alias though.

I have a catchall for my domain set up, and whenever I give a contact email to any organization, I offer theirdomain.com@mydomain.com. The amount of regular pushback I get from that (or people thinking I work at theirdomain.com, or that I am some kind of idiot) is insane.
Is AGI then going to be like an adolescent teen that has been scolded for his entire life not to say things that make weak men feel even weaker?

“We want AGI, we just need to make sure that politicians approve it.”

Maybe I am generalising, but the most capable models will always be in the hands of the corps that have the money for compute.

Is there like a video or a PDF of what AGI is supposed to be, and how it would work? Does it come with all the baggage that I mention above or is something else?

Eating shit provides very little value to anyone.

This example points out that we also have to look out whether GDP is also tied to valuable activities.

Things that come to mind are gambling, buying lottery, trading arts / crypto / stocks, and generally entertainment.

Some activities offer very little value.

This means these low value activities should reflect a minor part of your total GDP.

If the majority of your GDP comes from people in your own country trading arts with each other, you are fucked.
It wouldn't surprise me if after an email telling them to lower their consumption, consumers would anticipate the worst and instead decide to recharge any electrical appliances reliant on batteries (Power banks, EVs, etc...) "just in case".

Yes, lets keep news coverage focused only on disasters after they've happened.

Let's keep our heads down in the sand when the cracks are starting to show and when there still might be time to adapt to what's going on before the disaster strikes.

Nothing happened, so nothing to see here. Everything is working perfectly, move along.
I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton.

They were released simultaneously, Breath of the Wild was a Switch launch title. Same with Twilight Princess (actually I think the Wii version might have launched a few weeks before the Gamecube, I assume that was more to incentivize people to buy a Wii. Not the potential issue here regardless)

Tears of the Kingdom already had its launch and sold a TON of copies. If the new console isn't backwards compatible, they either are going to have to resell it to you which is a big ask, or just not have a new Zelda game available to play on their new system for another 6-7 years, which is not likely.

Funny enough, they somehow managed to make Splatoon 3 feel more like a FOMO-infested skinner box than most modern live service games I've tried, despite it having no microtransactions.

Your argument here is essentially "if the government wants to lease out the operation of a public good to the private sector then it has to be a long lease because otherwise who will put up the capital to take that on". And it's true!

But I think the underlying point is that maybe we just shouldn't do that? Our governments should be able to competently administer things like parkland and street parking. And the cost of giving up on them doing that is unacceptable because as you say, you can't do it without giving up control for an intolerable length of time. So sure it's necessary to do that if you're gonna do it, but that's precisely why you absolutely shouldn't do it, it's an absolute dereliction of duty.
I agree with everything above minus the last part. Bikes, walking, and mass transit can (and should) absolutely replace car usage if the infrastructure is there to support it. This has been proven in many European cities, Americans are just stubborn and carpilled.
They said nothing about it being practical. Specifically from the Reuters article:

> Junior minister Stephen Parkinson appeared to concede ground to the tech companies' arguments on Wednesday, saying in parliament's upper chamber that the Ofcom communications regulator would only require them to scan content where "technically feasible".

What this means is any chat system that isn't using end-to-end encryption is subject to these laws. Anything using end-to-end encryption is considered unfeasible to scan.
At any given level, people in startups tend to have more actual power/authority, with fewer or no processes or procedures already in place to slow them down. This is part of why startups are effective at building/changing things, but it's also a social engineer's dream.
Texans like their guns and demand freedom so probably.
I dislike the slant, which is about control. Someone has to be in control is a cry that blends into authoritarianism.

I do think there's a polycrisis of issues. To me, most of these stem not from a top down directing. They stem from a system which restraints & holds humanity back in an individual level. The basic common good counts for so much, but when folks are struggling for food shelter and housing, when jobs eat away at self respect, when corporations have become such vast government-devouring titans, when we have such a powerful capable world but are DRM & legally locked out of interaction & mastery with the worl: when these factors all align against the individual there's no space left for the good to be evinced out.

Interview with David Garnitz, Creator of VectorFlow
VectorFlow (open-sourced on GH) is a new tool for ingesting data into Vector Databases such as Weaviate! There is quite an interesting End-to-End stack emerging at the ingestion layer, from:

- Retrieving data from misc. sources such as Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, Google Drive, Notion, ...

- To then Chunking the Text (maybe with the use of Visual Document Layout parsers like what Unstructured is imagining)

- Extracting Metadata potentially (say the "age" of an NBA player as in the Evaporate-Code+ research)

- Then sending this data off to embedding model inference and unpacking that can of worms from inference acceleration to load balancing

- Finally -- importing the vectors themselves to Weaviate!

I learned so much from this conversation, I really hope you enjoy listening and please check out VectorFlow!

True, but those came out at the same time, so most people were only buying one of them. Whereas Nintendo just sold 18 million copies of Tears of the Kingdom, so a lot of the expected buyers of a Switch 2 version would probably already have it.
Given that just a few months ago a lot of the HN crowd was frantically down voting anyone who was predicting such a thing and denouncing them as CCP shill, simply for being realistic I think it's a good thing that they are being humbled a bit.

Being humbled isn't a bad thing. I grew up in Germany, and until I moved to Asia I actually thought that most of everything that has a name that can remotely be pronounced in a German fashion was in fact German. I suspect that that is very much the case for large numbers of Americans and even more so in the European and American political class.
Not an expert, but here is my understanding: Elliptical galaxies are typically quiescent (and spiral galaxies aren’t). The “massive” quiescent galaxies observed in the early universe are however smaller than the “giant” elliptical galaxies observed in the more recent universe. It is assumed that the latter evolved from the former, most likely by merging with other galaxies. This question of how exactly they evolve(d) is the subject of continued research.

More generally, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_formation_and_evolution.
Wat? There isnt already such a thing?
That's an upper-limit for social relationships not signing on to things conceptually - for example: Taxes. We know that our taxes go towards making things for all ~350 million of us (USA) or however populous your country and we're capable of recognizing that as a good thing. Or, at the very least, a necessary evil?
These are answers to specific questions below.
Imo large parts of the southwest and CA benefit immensely from immigrant labor. Both in time-savings and $ (outsourcing upkeep, housework, child-care) which allow their population to consume more and pursue other opportunities.

Also, this is Nintendo. Like it or not, and whether they like it or not, child friendly is their brand.

Who’s to say, that if you allow one fan game, some pedophile won’t make their own fan game? And kids won’t start sending messages about how they appreciate his game?

There isn’t one. Stop it before it can happen.
Why won't they see another generation of star formation when supernovae push gases into dense regions again? It seems like the stage you're talking about is more than a few billion years away (more like 10s of billions).
Texas’ strategy is to encourage additional growth in the crypto mining sector because ostensibly they use a lot of power during off-peak days/hours which supports capital payback but also is flexible enough to turn off their load when the grid production is over stressed, so they theoretically won’t contribute to blackouts.

Not sure if this thinking is fully correct, but on its face it’s at minimum not completely absurd.

Also I think some of the Texas leadership is financially or emotionally invested in cryptocurrency.
You can obviously conclude that it isn't relevant. Or that it is, but interpret it differently.

I've edited to soften; I intentionally omitted interpretation. It's just context (that you may or may not see as meaningful).
Me too but with how popular the Switch is I guess we’re the minority.

I never play my Switch undocked and all I can think about is how much beefier the internals could have been if they hadn’t made it a dual use device.
A "progenitor" is an ancestor; it means that the quiescent galaxy "plausibly" turns into an elliptical galaxy.

That bitmap fonts are not covered by copyright is something I have often seen stated, and the above reference seems to back it up; since bitmap fonts are not rendered from curves and vectors, there is no underlying putative “software” to claim copyright on.

A bitmap font could still theoretically be covered by trademark or possibly a design pattern, but (IIUC) those are things that have to be applied for, unlike copyright which normally covers a work automatically.
Keep the parking, but make the entire street bus only. Good luck getting to that parking spot!
Newly increased competition with the Steam Deck and others, and more than one iteration of the Switch already. Maybe a novelty factor to draw in consumers.

The Wii U bombed, a console that played it safe, and the story we're told is it was because the name confused consumers / was improperly marketed. I'm not sure that's the whole picture, but this is a risk yet again with the release of the OLED and Switch lite not that long ago.

They still have the "Nintendo advantage" of their products being unique and family-oriented on the market, but that's not always enough. At any rate the timing seems to be right (notwithstanding supply issues), it's roughly a decade since the Switch was originally released. Sony and MSFT already made the jump.

Another consideration: I'm not sure what the innovation/novelty options are at this point. Maybe they don't have much of a choice but to capitalize on a rock-solid 1st party line-up. Right now I think Nintendo does couch co-op better than anyone else, so they could drive that even further.
From how the headline was worded, I was expecting an interesting answer explaining the 'why' but the article is focused on grid stability with the headline's answer being "dunno, maybe because it was hot" -- except the article implies this was not a single hot day but part of a larger trend.
It's hardly one character. I never need the plain output of `ls` in interactive sessions.

Here are my aliases:

if type exa >/dev/null 2>&1; then
alias l='exa -alg --color=always --group-directories-first --git'
alias ll='exa -aliSgh --color=always --group-directories-first --git'
alias lt='exa -@alT --color=always --git'
alias lr='exa -alg --sort=modified --color=always --group-directories-first --git'
else
alias l='ls -alh --group-directories-first'
alias ll='ls -al --group-directories-first'
alias lr='ls -ltrh --group-directories-first'
fi

I still retain `ls -ltrh` in my muscle memory, but after years of typing it, `lr` has saved me a lot of time and effort.

Aliases are not just a way to type less. They also serve as a way to define configuration. If I ever need to tweak the output for all my usage of `ls`, I can just add it to all aliases, as I've done for `--group-directories-first`.
Minds are implemented within physics, but human concepts w.r.t. minds (e.g. responsibility, choice, freedom..) are only valid on the level of the minds, without any reference to the underlying physics.

I agree that the concepts we use to deal with human minds are higher level concepts. I am somewhat hesitant to call them emergent because that does not seem to quite fit the common usage of the term, but if hard pressed, I would probably call them emergent at the end of the day, just in a more complex way than the color of things or the wetness of water emerges. I would also agree that some of the concepts are in one way or another substrate independent, i.e. they are not strongly tied to the underlying physics, i.e. you could build the same concept on top of other physics or maybe oven on top of something completely different, say mathematical set theory.

But...I don't think it valid to think of physics and minds as completely separable. If physics is deterministic, you do not get to introduce a fundamentally nondeterministic decision process at the level of minds. You can have one that seems nondeterministic to the mind because it lacks knowledge of all the positions and momenta of all the particles, but it would not be truly nondeterministic. You can also talk about a fictitious nondeterministic decision process that is just not realizable in the deterministic universe.

So I think there are at least two classes of human level concepts, those that are independent of the underlying physics and those that are not. And some times there will be overlap, prime example free will. Even in a deterministic universe you can have free will in one of the compatibilistic senses, say doing what you want to do, but you will neither get to determine what you want do, nor what you do or whether the two are the same.
I mean I guess - but there is no getting around that it concentrates risk...

There is. Pricing is split mostly along residential vs. commercial vs. industrial although there’s a few more layers of discrimination based on usage patterns and “power factor” (reactive vs capacitive load).
They make weird decisions but not when it comes to something like this. They're not gonna not have their new Zelda game on their new console, and they've never done a rerelease for a new system so quickly after a launch where there was only one platform to buy the game on at launch.

People point to Breath of the Wild, but that launched same day on Wii U and Switch. They weren't reselling you the game unless you chose the buy the Wii U version and then later wanted it on Switch.
Texas would never do anything that makes them appear 'anti-business' though. It goes against the entire political ethos of the folks in charge down there.

Accidently dialing an non-local number for AOL ended up getting me banned from the family PC for a month. Long distance charges were expensive. (US)

Then we were in Germany in the late 90s and even local calls cost money so one had to be wary of how many hours you were online. Eventually we got flat-rate and ISDN 64k and then 128k but it wasn't long after that we moved back to the US.

Hey this fits my entirely unsubstantiated pet theory: evolution is not just partially Lamarckist, but there's also a purposeful mental component to it. Animals can -presumably subconsciously- partially pass on traits that they themselves think are advantageous. Eg, in this case, the beetle wants to look more like termites and so its offspring becomes more like termites as seen by the beetle even in ways that don't actually matter

I have no idea how such a mechanic may work, but there'd be a great advantage in success for animals that could develop such a style of evolution
The idea is pretty cool, but I'm unsure of the mix of TUI and animation. Once you start going down the path of animations, layout, fonts, etc, you start just reinventing the web - but with extra steps.

Personally I would cut complex animations (i.e. sub-character) and only have a single size monospace font. I would rip out CSS and go for maximum compatibility. (If something exists like that, please let me know!)

Another feature that could be cool is to have this served (optionally) via telnet. I would also make it be able to produce static content (with a subset of features).
