> You see authoritarianism as coming from corporations; I see it as coming from the government.

No, I see authoritarianism as coming from both government and corporations. Government is logically equivalent to a monopolistic corporation where your only way to end the contract is by physically moving off from the land it has an ownership interest in. Individual freedom can only exist when both government and corporate power are kept in check. Government power through democracy, separation of powers, and bureaucracy. Corporate power through competition, exit, and regulation. If either one is allowed to run amok to the culmination of its own desires, the end result is centralized control and diminished individual freedom. (And since power coalesces regardless of the type, these imperatives generally feed each other)

> You believe that the only way to stop that is a stomp on that power at the cost of liberties

No - I do not believe it is correct, and in fact it is quite perverse and grotesque, to characterize corporate control as "liberty".

> California's registration policy nets up every Mastodon node and every home gardening forum and every still existent BBS

AFAICT this was debunked in the first round of comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37469593 . As I've been saying, the key property here is scale, which you seem to be willfully ignored. Please stop standing in tiny, sympathetic, and utterly wrong examples as if they have anything to do with corporate power. Extrapolating about what's right for an individual or small collective to a large corporation/LLC is completely fallacious.

> Because I'm not worried about the authoritarian threat posed by unfettered communication in the LGBTQIA community

Didn't you kind of mismatch the analogy here? More appropriate would be saying that you're not worried about the threat posed to the LGBTQIA community by unfettered censorship. Which is really an appeal to popularity as how you perceive it currently - transplant Big Tech into the 80's enforcing popular social mores, and things would look much different. Just as how big business happily bends to the whims of China.

> I sure am worried about [the authoritarian threat posed by unfettered communication] from the white supremacist community.

This is why I feel justified characterizing your argument as cheerleading for authoritarianism. In order to actually stop the authoritarian threat from the white supremacist community, it is not enough to have the popular bars prohibit Nazism. Rather to stop white supremacists organizing, you have to control all avenues of communication. In other words, reinventing de facto governmental power through the private sector where the constitutional embodiments of natural rights don't apply.
The arguments against strong marginal tax rates are not made in good faith. They're very consciously crafted by the rich.
I can't tell you how happy I am that I don't have to fight with Google Workspace administration anymore. When I was doing it, getting TOTP enforcement enabled was very problematic. You couldn't just set the org to be enforced, because new users wouldn't be able to login, and then you'd have to turn it off for the org any day new people started, then make sure that everybody was enrolled (including existing employees that turned it off while they could), etc.

They finally fixed it, but it took them a long time, and in the meantime, horrible workarounds.

They also had no way of merging two company's accounts; which is fine because m&a never happens, and google never aquires anyone using google workspace (i certainly would refuse to be aquired by them after using their software, but I'm extra grumpy)
Farm dams can be converted into renewable energy storage systems, says study
Seems hard not to these days, especially with service workers which can cache resources for offline use.
That 71% figure comes from AFL-CIO which is a federation of labor unions. As your link shows, Gallop showed 67% and a decrease between support YOY. Its higher than a long term average of 62% and lower than all time high of 75% following WW2 when unions were in their heyday.
$0.20 per install, even if your app is free, is insane. Unreal and Godot are serious competitors now. I dont see how Unity thinks this will work.
Are you reproducing the results of other simulation papers by running simulations, or results from other experimental papers?

Is interpreting the other papers and translating them into simulation parameters a rate limiting step in catalysis research? Or is this like, fitting your simulation package’s parameters to get the same output as someone else’s?
If your industry needs a union to avoid getting fucked, you should ideally find a better career.

I feel like I’m pretty neutral on unions. Not inherently bad, sometimes vital, but they can be a parasite on companies while being a double edged sword for labor. For example, I think legacy auto and its workers are in a tough spot with thin margins and offshoring. There is basically a shrinking pool of American workers needs being met at the expense of everyone else.

Game dev is also an interesting case because the problem comes from workers who are so desperate to be in the industry despite better options. They can already have better pay and work conditions. Just not from the companies they want it from.
Web applications aren't going to get bigger just by themselves! /s

Jokes aside, this extreme optimization for development does have impacts on user experience. The amount of bandwidth/storage etc used by a "just ship the whole db" type applications would surely suck for most people outside of the 'I measure my bandwidth in Gbps' crowd?

“A few decades ago” is understating it, but talk to some Boomers and you’ll hear a different story from the late 1950s / early 1960s. The Japanese Miracle had already happened by the era of the Walkman.
That’s fair with regards to specifics, just pointing out the comment being wildly out of touch I replied to. Par for the course unfortunately.

Union support is substantially higher among younger cohorts, and ~2 million of the 55+ cohort ages out annually, so support should skew upwards over time. Progress in this regard is a function of time.
Seems like this is a pattern of misconduct from this cop[1], who is also the VP of his police union:

> 2010: Auderer was one of several officers who stopped two Mexican immigrants under a false pretext. The officers were caught on camera verbally abusing them and roughly arresting them. One of the officers, Corey Williams, infamously threatened to “skull fuck” the pair. (He’s now the sergeant of crisis response.)

> 2010: Auderer was one of a dozen officers who savagely beat Brian Torgerson, a mentally ill man, causing permanent brain damage. SPD settled with Torgerson’s family for $1.75 million.

> 2014: Auderer received another complaint from a woman he arrested, who claimed he sexually harassed her in a holding cell. There was no audio of the incident, so OPA issued a training referral.

> 2015: Auderer punched and choked a homeless man inside the ER at Harborview Hospital. SPD’s Force Review Board ruled that the force was unjustified, but OPA ultimately cleared him.

> 2016: OPA investigated Auderer for using force against a Black woman while she was handcuffed. This is prohibited by SPD policy unless there are “exceptional circumstances.” OPA ruled that the force use—which occurred conveniently beyond the view of the in-car video—was “lawful and proper.”

> 2016: OPA investigated Auderer again for punching a woman in the face. He was cleared of any wrongdoing

> 2016: Auderer was suspended for four days for taking part in an arrest while on an off-duty ridealong with his brother, who is an officer in another jurisdiction. He violated the person’s Miranda rights & failed to report the arrest to a supervisor.

> 2018: Auderer was reprimanded for making demeaning, unnecessary comments about a woman’s mental health during a traffic stop.

Curious if you've tested it with Jepsen. Anytime I come across some distributed system, my stomach ulcers start playing up while I wonder about all the weird failure modes. I kinda looked for a caveats page on the LiteFS web site, didn't really see one.
To me "9/11" is the 2001 attacks, yeah Krebs being clickbaity there, would he have titled it "... Stolen Airbus data on 9/8" if it happened a few days earlier? No, because the date isn't that significant to be in the title..
Ah, it's the users who are wrong!

In all seriousness, as engineers we of course can't assume the happy path is common, and to ensure good UX more often than not we need to account for these cases.
I hope Godot/Bevy do well but there's a kernel of truth there as well. It was not uncommon for us to make significant changes to licensed engines to meet the needs of the game style/design. UE3 for instance was pretty awful for open world titles(gears was quite a rails shooter and the engine reflected that), there's a number of titles that took the renderer and re-did many of the major game systems.

Once you make changes like that upleveling is a serious challenge. We had one dev who's responsibility was to pull latest, spend about a month getting to to compile, another 1-2 months fixing all the issues, checking it in only to them spend another 2 months fixing all the cases that weren't tested. With a ~6mo uplevel cadence it was just enough time to finish it in order to start the next uplevel. Once you've gone through that internal engines start to look appealing(although they have their own pitfalls, I.E. heavy dependency on MAX/Maya for editor support and other "fun" bits).

Yeah, f whatever your passion is.. just get a good job.
A weird complaint if you ask me.

Browsers and developers should try to do their best with limited resources. So it most cases that means making predictions about user behavior. Sometimes that means preloading content (e.g. if you're on a landing page, preloading content from the next likely page will make the it feel much more performant) and sometimes lazy loading to not waste resources if a user isn't going to see content in the first place.

But of course there will be "bad branch predictions" sometimes. I think "having a page load before I get into the tunnel but not scroll down enough to have content load before I lose Internet connection" certainly seems like a case that it's fair not to optimize for.
Given that the cia has a lot of control over what it's analysts say, why wouldn't it just order them to say what it wants?
Not sure how a cost increase doesn't factor in just because there is already a large cost divide.

Why is no one talking about this?
Thanks. I was tempted to build this since Windows has no decent microphone test (other than voice recorder!) and the other online ones are crappy.

Here is my feature request:

* It records your voice for 3 seconds

* It stops and plays that back

This tests your microphone, speakers, microphone quality and levels, audio quality and levels, internet connection all in one go.
Embeddings only go so far. A lot of time meaning (especially implicit or contextual) occurs from reading larger portions / knowing related information that will simply not be captured in the embedding.
> To put this very directly, Godot is a meme in the commercial games industry. Most of companies with above AA cash would rather write their own engines than use Godot

I find this an odd statement because from my perspective there aren't any AAA titles written in Unity either. They are all proprietary engines or Unreal nowadays.

So the question isn't if Godot can take over the AA, AAA games, it's can it take over the market currently served by Unity.

It probably can't right now, but probably not as far off as it seems either

> There are a lot of forces working agains Godot: inertia, economics, instability, lack of talent, lack of appeal to talent.

Other than "instability" none of this is a criticism of the engine itself... so why is it a meme?

Edit: I'm actually really struggling to think of a game I would consider AAA that I know of made in Unity. Please help me out if you know of some I'm not aware of.
All his projects are in 1 file. Like 14k lines. What impressed by isn't that he's successful but that he can work in a mess like that. That's a whole lot of scrolling
I cannot see a context for this to be relevant to HN
Like I said, I'm not a psych, but I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD as a kid and had to get medical waivers approved to join the military and fly. Channelized attention and having to force myself to focus on mundane, boring tasks (with varying levels of success) are a thing I have dealt with my whole life. Oversensitivity to stimuli is not.
I generally dislike lazy loading. My time is almost always worth more than data transfer costs, so I'd much rather load up a bunch of stuff I might not see so that in the office chance I fast scroll down the page I don't have to wait for anything.

If you're using Asciidoc to generate your HTML presentation with Reveal.js[1], you can use the `notes` block to make speaker notes accessible in the presentation in Speaker View (press [s] key in HTML, Reveal.js opens new window for speaker mode where you can see notes, timer, some other crap. See also https://revealjs.com/speaker-view/)

Example

* this is the new block type for speaker notes: sidebar
* `notes` role required (written `.notes` in block attribute)
* source is slightly more compact
* and not tied to an admonition which can be useful in slides

I live in Germany and so do most of my users, so I take the spotty internet rather seriously. There are lots of holes in the coverage even in the capital. Then there is the underground.

However loading the images early wastes bandwidth, and it hurts SEO. In my case the user can live without those images, so it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I hope that descriptive alt tags will help.

On the other hand, the whole text is there from the start and every other way is wrong.
Nobody on this site wants to see this news. It's hyperlocal, unrelated to computing. Also, you're repeatedly creating green accounts ot post stuff.

This is such a vague question.

Yes, you can obviously export raw texture & mesh files into another engine.

Will the code work? No, probably not.
Which is why I said I would do it "if" it brought us prosperity. I didn't say I'd do it lightly. The point I tried to express was my willingness to sacrifice it. If I could push a button to replace the entire area of the Amazon with high tech industry, I would do it without thinking twice.

Western countries have been telling us what to do with this jungle for many decades now. Even as a kid I used to hear of US presidents talking about how the Amazon "belongs to the world". I find that to be extremely offensive and disrespectful towards our sovereignty.
Eh, mistakenly clicking an ad or irrelevant content when trying to click a link because the page loaded some async content at the last millisecond is far worse.
> even if your app is free

Is that accurate?

I'm looking at the "Runtime Fee Eligibility" section [1] and it looks like you need to have revenue before you start getting charged per install.

For the 'Unity Personal' / 'Unity Plus' it looks like you need $200,000 in revenue over the past 12 months AND at least 200,000 installs over the lifetime of the game. If you don't meet both those criteria then I don't think you pay the per-install fee.

Am I reading this right, or am I missing something?

Winter energy could be done on a (smaller) community basis ... if it constructs a large enough, well-insulated thermal mass, or is lucky to live by one. I grew up in a place where, each winter, a large lake was covered-over by a couple of feet of ice. (Often covered by snow.) The water beneath stayed liquid. A heat-pump under the ice could draw on that source.

Worldwide, the ground itself, a few feet down, stays at about 50F year-around ~~ regardless of outdoor temperature. Locally, summer heat-pumping could be directed underground in some places. Reverse in winter.

Pumping heat from where it's stored is a lot less expensive than transporting and burning fuels. We do need to get better at it.
There used to be a time where you can load up a YouTube video on the site and go offline then watch the video.

You can't do that any more, unless you actively find a way to download the said video.
Lazy loading also allows any network operator (and FVEY et al) to surveil your progress reading any particular web page based on when the additional image requests are generated.

Both of these seem like uncommon edge cases. I can't remember the last time I actually "saved a webpage" - I think in my using the web for nearly the past 30 years that functionality hardly ever worked well in the first place. I do use print-to-PDF fairly often, but honestly don't know how lazy load works in that scenario. If you choose to print all pages and it doesn't include lazy loaded images, I'd just consider that a bug.
If it's not captured in the embeddings the LLM wouldn't "know" it either, right?

No it doesn't, though it may be argued to be a requirement.

That's the point of the previous commenter - that you are making unjustified assertions using an extrapolation of the views of some researchers. Reiterating it with a pointer to why they believe that to be the case doesn't make it more so.

If that's your favoured interpretation, fine, but that's all it is at this point.

This is possible, and I suspect it will happen if it's not already. Of course, the more it happens, the less profitable it becomes.

The thing is though, this type of thing only really works if you have sufficient interconnection and are paying / recieving the market rate. You've got to have a pretty big system to get to interconnect at market rates. Home based tarrifs aren't going to cut it, because those are usually not refundable, at best your cost goes to zero, which probably doesn't justify your investment in batteries.

Now, if you were putting in batteries anyway, there may be peak shaving options in the controller to charge off peak and discharge on peak. May as well use some of the capacity you installed for redundancy on a regular basis to reduce your energy costs. Especially if you have other generation options. Maybe peak shave down to 60% capacity, if the remaining 40% still covers your use for several hours and you have a generator you can run when you hit 20%. Or if you have solar, peak shave down to whatever leaves you enough power to make it to the next sunny day (or just the next day if you're feeling lucky)

I would think you could effectively disable lazy loading by using a bookmarklet for individual pages, or a userscript in Tampermonkey for whole sites or patterns of sites.
