Honestly this current drama with Unity doesn't surprise me at all. They paved the way to go down this road years ago. Just use Godot.
Where does that number come from? Mine comes from the DOE. https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/maprod/documents/...
Is it? I can only find this:

> [...] this one is rated for speeds as high as 70 m/sec (252 km/h / 157 mph).

And the question was what happens above this 70m/sec. A Taifun might go above 83 m/s.
So what do you think happened? Did the Atlanta police place the gun at the scene and hope that the GBI would lie about the forensics results? Did they lie about the purchase records too? Did they shoot one of their own to justify murder? If they wanted to kill an activist, they could just say he was pointing a gun at them. No need to almost kill a state trooper to cover it up.
Ah yes, the only way to make fun and successful games is to introduce corporate greed. History has proven your 15 years of experience wrong many times.

No, popular Linux distros, with default configuration, is considerably more secure than Windows, and probably more secure than MacOS. This is universally accepted and basic infosec ken. You thought very wrong, fix your ken.
They do, there is GCC, and GCC-High. There are a number of reasons why, but the most common would probably be the additional cost of resources and staffing.

Feature for feature, the core functionality is the same. There’s more overhead in GCC and some features in public are delayed in implementation.
First off, you can’t OSS consoles. The manufacturers require an NDA and arpproval to gain access to the hardware and SDKs. This costs real money.

Second, every console and to a lesser degree mobile are constantly changing their SDKs and that requires a lot of testing to ensure that your engine works across a huge permutation of platforms. Throw in the need to support an LTS version of your engine and it balloons in cost.
Nonsense!

We are releasing a photo of the handgun that was in Manuel Esteban Paez Teran’s possession when a Georgia State Patrol trooper was shot on January 18 at the site of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. The handgun is described as a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm. Forensic ballistic analysis has confirmed that the projectile recovered from the trooper’s wound matches Teran’s handgun. Other preliminary information released in this case is consistent with the investigation so far.

>> blender [...] supports two platforms

Windows, Mac and Linux; that's three, right? And it supported many Unix variants while their marketshare was significant. Where does your "two platforms " come from?

>> I’ve been doing this for 15 years

Most commenters here don't have 15 years of gamedev experience, but many here watched Blender turn into a tool among the leaders coming from a "very weird UI" in about that same amount of time. Why can't the same happen to Godot?

>> PC/Mac, iOS and Android outstrips the budget of even Godot.

We heard the same about GNU, GCC, Linux, Apache... look back at what happened to most closed source Unixes of the 90's. Yes, game engines are a different market but your argument is the same we heard other times.
I also use SwiftKey and can highly recommend. I use Polish and English, sometimes within the same message and native keyboard was an absolute shitshow for me. It would literally never correct properly, sometimes make up non existing words etc. My only pain point with SwiftKey is that since last update it crashes often, I hope they might actually fix it someday. GBoard on iOS was forgotten long time ago so that's a no go...
I'm not really sure what's optimal but I removed my flag.
Have you tried creating issues on the Zig repo?

External contributors can’t select the labels of an issue. New issues get automatically tagged.

In the Wasmer repo we can obviously choose the proper label just because we have the permission to do so
Yeah, I'm sorry for the incorrect statement.

MidJourney claims 3.3 hours of GPU for $10.
If that's 3.3 hours of A100, at a rate of $2/hour that's $6.6 of GPU costs.

My original statement was based on MJ feeling very expensive per image compared to the huge number of images I can generate in an hour with SDXL on my 3090 (and 3090s can be rented for $0.20 an hour).

But I forgot how overpriced A100s are (I doubt MJ is running 3090s but that'd be pretty cool), and that MJ is probably 4x the size of SDXL (although surely more optimized).

My revised statement is that for their $10 plan there's a few bucks of GPU compute cost. Probably between 2x and 5x margins.
I used to be a heavy palm pilot gamer so I was excited for the future when Android hit the scene. instead, I get a lot of "free" games that are fun for an hour -- just long enough to get you invested and having fun -- to have the game time wall you and ask to pay to get passed it. I'd happily pay $1-15 for a fun mobile game but I haven't found one yet, honestly.
> Since my biggest annoyance with proprietary software or in this case game engine is that you can create the most elaborate sub-engine (for example a fully-dynamic RPG) and see it all come crashing down because some dimwit at Epic Games reeeeally wants to push the latest eye candy that breaks your sub-engine.

Uf, feel that one. If the engine isn't designed with your genre in mind you may be making some significant structural changes(which will be interesting to see how open source engines handle that).

Even if they don't take the engine a different direction the up-leveling cost of getting new features/bug fixes is significant. Back when I was working in industry we had one person who's almost fulltime job was to merge -> fix compile errors -> fix runtime issues -> checkin change and uncover more edge cases that got broken -> repeat process, it was brutal.
I wouldn’t want to send everything I type to apple’s auto suggest server. For me it’s quite important that this is not apple’s approach to privacy.

You write something wrong you lose reputation, you write something right, you lose reputation, even if you're right, because booksmarts don't agree with it.
You write something that AI thinks is "harassment", even if it's just, "that fat cheese goes directly into your fat cells". Totally harassment... fucking Chinese Tiktok censorship.
You can't say "shit" or "fuck" because that's harassment.
Because creators are sensitive little flowers...
Fuck China and its censorship.

It was a joke, of course I don't get my partner to chew my foods for me. The blending is not so much the issue. It's the saliva being an important part of the digestive process that counts. Blended soups can upset my gut, probably as I don't chew.
But the context was hiring/tenure/grants assignment decisions and how academic productivity became a major factor in those decisions.

Business people have no say in any hiring decisions made at universities. The hiring committee is made up of faculties at the department hiring the new assistant(often)/associate(rarely)/full(very rare) professor. Tenure is not decided by any business or administrative person working at universities. Same for grant funding in the sciences.
I'm pretty sure you're mistaken and those were only ARM's claims in their suit filed last year.

The trial was set to begin on the 23rd. Not sure what the date is now. But you can see depositions being taken in August [1].

Well it's not so much about deliberately / affectedly being original and weird (which is annoying), but just leaving some space for natural idiosyncratic ways of writing.
I never posited any alternatives, except to say that you cannot trust the testimony of obviously corrupt institutions. There are literally infinite amount of untruths they could’ve lied about and an infinite number of nuances left out in testimony. You cannot rely on anything except that someone is dead.
I would think the fee would be even worse for F2P games because they rely on a huge install base. If 5% of the installs generate any revenue at all, they'd have to generate 20x the fee in revenue on average in order to break even.

Also, doesn't the whole trust issue apply equally to F2P games? A supplier increasing prices is one thing. If your supplier is Darth Vader and goes around saying things like "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further" -- even if it's within the letter of the law and the EULA (and that "if" is still somewhat in doubt, especially in the EU), doesn't that make you...rather nervous about the possibility of future surprise changes to your unit economics, even if this particular change to your unit economics doesn't put you out of business?
In other words, can you run the business into the ground? If yes => $$$$$$$$$$$$$$, if no => $.

The CEO can tank a company (in fact they frequently do)

An engineer certainly has more power than average to sink a company (isn't half the star wars story pretty much this?)

I tried it for a project and I was pleased with what I could do with it (links to other inner sections, web formatting, etc).
However, i couldnt maintain this approach for new projects and daily notes, so i switched to Docsify and markdown a month ago. Docsify needs plugins to accomplish most built-in TiddlyWiki stuff (search, last updated subtitle, etc) and basically forces you to script your way to make a document structure and a working sidebar, but at least I find it less platform-dependent and more customizable.
Yes, and according the autopsy:

"Both Manuel's left and right hands show exit wounds in both palms. The autopsy further reveals that Manuel was most probably in a seated position, cross-legged when killed,"

Also, he was shot a dozen times, and apparently had raised both his arms.

Neat trick getting shot through both palms while holding a gun (without damaging the gun), kind of like bashing your own head in from the back of a squad car, or hanging yourself from a 9 ft jail cell ceiling without a rope or platform.
The Unicode Standard, Version 15.1
It is certainly amusing to see people think they can build a "community" around a corporation and proprietary software and then learn the lesson the hard way.
I think the argument will be that even if it can't compete on performance it can compete at the business level by being more flexible, unencumbered by licensing and IP restrictions, etc.

Whether it's a universal good for the consumer or not is unclear. We could end up with significant fragmentation. But the compelling aspect of RISC-V is that companies can spin up their own cores to do all sorts of things without a lot of hassle with licensing. Either by writing one's own core or using an existing off the shelf one, and then tacking on whatever extensions or customizations that make sense for them

And thinking here far beyond what most people think of when they think of in regards to processors (phones, computers) but the fact that ARM cores are in practically everything these days from the MCU to the MPU level. Everything from light bulbs and ceiling fans to COVID tests to garage door openers to christmas lights or toys to drive and memory controllers to laptops and phones.

Think of all that diversity, and now consider what advantages a manufacturer can get by being able to roll up whatever they want, but still be able to use a common standard compiler suite, verification tools, skill set, etc.

RISC-V is the future, or at least a future. No doubt ARM and x86 will exist alongside basically forever, but RISC-V I think has crossed the point where it was a "maybe will be something" to a "it's happening" moment.
amazing. schwalbe durano/lugano last on me on average 1.5-2 years (about 1000-2500km, depends on "road" badnesses).. that's $15x2 .. so these are like 15x times the price.. but still, the no-surprises-in-middle-of-nowhere may be well worth it..

Adobe’s model is their IP and is trained on a bunch of images that they paid to be able to use. It’s the mode ethically produced model so far. We have no idea the size. There is zero chance they would let that model leak.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. Off the top of my head, there is codellama and starcoder, I'm sure I've seen various other ones. These are downloadable coding models that you can run on your compute. Did you mean something else?
> RISC-V is not tied to Qualcomm, so you can either choose a different partner or do it all yourself if you've got the necessary skills and resources.

ISA is the least important part in CPU. The hard part is having all drivers for the peripherals given chip has and knowing most of the chinese vendors it's straight to landfill after few years unless something becomes so popular community RE it.

> 2% of revenue after $1mm for perpetuity

I'm sure Unity would be fine with that. I don't see how could they hope to collect more than 0.5-2% if averaged out over their all customers even with the new pricing.

I guess the problem is that revenue share is very hard to enforce, by adopting something like that you'll be probably giving up on a significant proportion (if not the majority) of fees you could get from developer in China (and some other countries in similar situations). Install fee (while a bizarre idea) should be easier to enforce.
I dont believe it neither (on my 4th/5th, french too). There is often new mental model required, ie with French you need to catch first parts of words since ends are not pronounced, and other quirks. German has these uber long words. Grammar is always a bit different. Ordering in sentences. And so on.

Overall it increases neuroplasticity, best starting as kids when brain is more adaptive. Big gains, regardless if there are some miniscule disadvantages overall.
This is cool, easily scan my books at home that i will use to train my own LLM! Super me!
Yeah it seems like enshitification during the long tail is the point of the VC model across all industries. Give product away for free, figure out how to screw the install base later on.

Can't blame the VCs for trying this model, but they've played society for suckers. We let them get away with this for too long, becoming dependent on their "free" offerings.

At this point I'd be willing to get rid of my free stuff altogether and pay a subscription for products I like/use as it would incentivize the companies to add features that benefit me.

For example, search on the web is dying. I would absolutely pay money to replace Google with a search engine I trust and that works for me.
I kind of agree, I agree 100% with transparency, it's something I think the UK does wonders with having drug testing sites where they don't confiscate the drug instead the user themselves can decide if they want to take whatever toxic waste is mixed in with MDMA for instance.

I don't think legalizing it to the point where anyone can get it anywhere is the way to go, you have to rehabilitate not only users but the drug itself.

Ecstasy as an example will contribute to death as long as people see ecstasy as a party drug (since most cause of death is because of heat stroke or drinking too much water), if you can rehabilitate the public perception that ecstasy is more of a relax drug akin to weed, then I think we're on to something.

Issue is also that the cartel has grown so vast and powerful I doubt even if USA went full legalization that this will change much, the cartel will find grey area to smuggle in "illegal" legal drugs like how the Italian mafia are notorious for fake olive oil.
Complete mischaracterization of what Stoltenberg said.

Russian narrative goes like this:
"Do what we want or we attack a neighboring country. Then, now look at what you made us do."

It presupposes:

1. What Russia wants is more important than what small countries want.

2. Small countries near to Russia do not seek NATO membership. NATO just "expands" magically, small countries are not seeking safety from NATO.

3. Colonialism is good when Russia does it. Russian imperialism did not happen.

The proper place for NATO is next to Russian border in all NATO countries. Russia is not made to do anything, it has not right to attack.

Well most games usually get built once on one version so it doesn’t matter if the engine changes.
Because that is the business model that Epic and Unity figured out for their engines, and poor game developers saw as preferable than paying once upfront, which might or might not have been a mistake.
You're right, and in this very thread there are climate activists arguing that they should have carte blanche to murder people for their cause.
> Oh, and we will not upstream our drivers as usual so your devices will be landfill after 4 years as usual

This is not genuine argument. Check the sources at kernel.org and you will see tons of Qualcomm drivers upstreamed by Qualcomm.

Did Qualcomm do a bad job w upstreaming, for years? yes, they did. Are they improving? yes, IMO they are.

disclaimer: Qualcomm employee.

Out of curiosity, what do you then do with the transcriptions? You said you typically talk out loud while working, but do you continue working like normal after the transcription is recorded for later use, or do you interrupt your workflow to do something specific with the transcription immediately after?
Non-union manufacturing work is nearly suicide. Horrid safety, abusive work mandates, random hours, barely any PTO. The list goes on. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

My son joined a non-union shop last year, recruited by his instructor while in a training program for machinists. They had an "assembly department" that was under extremely arbitrary and shifty requirement metrics. They had long time machinists who worked there and if they got hurt (after getting back from medical leave) they were thrown into the assembly department until they quit.

That was the tip of the iceberg in that place. Asking for PPE to mitigate cancerous fumes from various chemicals got my son fired. He suffered chemical burns during his short time there and witnessed several serious random safety events involving 400amp 220v live electrical wires making contact with carts and shelving.

This was not a small rinky dink shop. They have multiple large facilities in the US.

Cynical but fair points. I'm a total ignoramus when it comes to this level of tech, but it does feel like Apple has been showing how important power efficiency is right now, and the de-bloating that risc-v offers, or potentially offers, seems very appealing in that regard. Of course, it could totally be overshadowed by simple bad developer habits even at the OS level. Like I said, im very ignorant in this area.

I wonder, if godot becomes the defacto successor, will we see posts of the sort in a few years we see about cloud open source these days? People complaining about the redistributors (cloud companies/game studios) not giving back to the open source software they use to make their money?

Because a lot of the posts I've seen on reddit around this whole thing sound alergic to the idea of paying for a game engine.
-20 to 40C isn't as nice as 0-100, but it's not terrible.

AFAIR 0-100 wasn't the goal anyway. 0F was just the lowest they could reach in a lab setting at the time. Then they chose to have 180 degrees between water freezing and boiling.

You'll have a ratio of thousands of users to one contributor. Even less if you count useful contributions. Game engines are complex beasts.

I've written plenty of C web apps back in the old cgi-bin days, for no particular reason, and haven't found the memory management an issue. cgi-bin is a great example of a lifetime-managed execution environment where you can just use the heap as one big arena allocator, with malloc() having unchanged semantics (or, if you're feeling fancy, going to a bump allocator), and free() being no-op'd (or, more realistically, just omitted when writing code). Yeah, your high water mark memory usage might be a bit higher than a more managed approach, but the OS is a perfect garbage collector, and the fastest possible garbage collector, for short-lived executables.

The bigger issue is the mediocre string processing libraries that are so common to C.

Even healthy cereal is incredibly energy dense, we have no need for it unless you're active enough (not so many wfh developers). That aside so many cereals (esp in America) are just sugar bombs.

I think this thread encapsulates the politicization of society, basically determining all credibility and worth based on who is on what political team. This reality has been causing a lot of problems with getting productive work done in the U.S as everything becomes about power and giving out favors vs. a meritocraticly organized society. We need to become more of a society where people don't change their opinions on someone's ability to do rocket engineering based on whether they think their tweets are mean or not.
