"Many of the hires will be “boomerangs,” or people who worked at Salesforce before going to a different company, Benioff said. Attracting boomerangs is a new success metric for the company, he added."
Yeah, I’m sure it works, but not /too/ well.
> My own children believe “it has medical purposes”.

Well, it is being used medicinally, ergo, it does.

But my kids don't believe it's a harmless medicine, they know it can be harmful if smoked excessively - not just from a health POV, but also from a "being stoned all the time is harmful to motivation and information retention" POV.

They also know that it can be harmful to a developing teenage brain when smoked consistently, and they also know that anyone with a family history of schizophrenia should stay well away from it.

They also know you shouldn't smoke weed after drinking a lot unless you fancy getting the spins and puking, and that you can't die from smoking it, although if you smoke a large amount, you might end up freaking out and thinking that you're dying, you're not, but it won't be a fun experience.

So you know, if you're going to smoke it, don't do that.

And they know these things because I taught them that, because I want to ensure they're safe.

Same reason I taught them to call an ambulance or me if any of their friends become unconscious from drinking alcohol, and to put them in the recovery position to ensure they don't aspirate their own vomit.
Another project that does something similar is https://indieblog.page/.
Hope this project becomes big as well!

Thanks. Any particular mods to recommend? I've tried playing without mods many years ago but I remember it being extremely tough - I imagine mods would improve the user-friendliness significantly.

Facial asymmetry, testosterone (thick eyebrows, baldness), weight, piercings, tattoos, unnatural hair colors etc. surely have some correlation with being a serial killer?
In saying that different administration priorities and changes in political support for tech drive anti-trust actions you are making my point (which I maybe didn't make clear). That kind of arbitrariness means firm's counsel can't say "don't do X" like you want them to. Because "X" shifts. It also means counsel sensibly focuses on appearances, since appearances can be the main driver of political support.
You wrote your own custom RAW photo viewer? Like, including parsing? That's incredibly cool, do you share it anywhere?

Agreed. Unfortunately, I've already played it (and the DLC), and it's not really the type of game that's easy to replay since I already know all the secrets. Can't wait for Mobius Digital's next game.
Hey everyone!
I here is a small project I've been working on lately. I hope it helps. I'd love to hear your thoughts and improvement ideas.
For source code, I prefer the Software Heritage archive over the Internet Archive, because it archives the git history, instead of the HTML UI. This particular repo was saved there[0] and was most recently visited 24 Oct 2022, which has two more terms updates.

I have created a mirror of this more up-to-date version at https://github.com/thaliaarchi/unity-termsofservice.

The terms have been changed so that all future installs can incur a fee even on older games that used unity even if the haven't been updated recently.
> I hate the word "silently" in headlines like these.

Why hate reporting that fairly represents what they did?

Sure. That's one way to uphold the standards of full transparency about what changes are happening and when - that Unity promised.
Carrying around a fidget toy has helped me with this. Part of the urge to scroll on my phone is just to do something with my fingers. If my fingers are occupied with a bit of string or a finger-trap, my mind is more free to wander.
I completely disagree. If you walked up to Marl, built trust with him, and asked him whether he wanted more meaningful content in his life (for a definition of meaningful which made sense to him) I think he would say yes. So it's not really about Marl's preferences but about the way those preferences are collected and Marl's (sadly mostly justified) lack of trust.
Interesting, thank you. What types of simulated aspects are there in the game? Temperature, pressure, magnetism, gravity, etc? I was under the impression it was more of a space dogfighting type game but based on your comment it seems I may have been very wrong about this.

Their point is do we even know a death threat was sent? Or is Unity just trying to get the previous news about their licensing change buried under some sympathetic story about a death threat being sent?
The way it sounds is Salesforce sold 5,000 tons of grains a few months ago, and now its buying 3,300 tons back.
I haven't used PlantNet though I've been working on learning plant identification/taxonomy and have been using iNaturalist. Their models are limited by inputs, if you've got a wild angiosperm that's flowering it's pretty good. With human cultivars, even with flowers it's not always great, though no shade there, that's what I'd expect for visually trained models that focus on plants in the wild. If you aim it at a leaf there's not enough visual data to categorize, if you aim it at a full plant it's so-so. I mostly stick to flowering plants and have an easy time.
This whole debacle is unreal (pun intended?). I don’t think they’ll be able to enforce this the way they hope to. For example they want to be paid for unity games in subscription services, like xbox gamepass. Meanwhile M$ lawyers are rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

They’re going to (already have) damaged their reputation beyond repair. This isn’t typical consumer strong arm tactics. Their clients are businesses who already have alternatives. If one of my vendors abruptly changed our agreement like this, there’s no question I’d quietly phase them out ASAP.

It’s incredibly awful if you have to be in multiple workspaces.

previously all workspaces appeared in a single column so you could see at a glance which workspaces had updates and could prioritize work accordingly. This allows for passively staying up to date.

Now all workspaces are collapsed under a single icon. So you see a single “update” but can’t see which workspace without interacting with the app. Now looking for updates is an active process.

This doesn’t even save space since the sidebar is still always there, and now there’s just more white space.

I’m in ~10 workspaces for vendors and developer communities that I need to be involved in as part of my job. This has absolutely tanked any sense of productivity. I can no longer see what’s happening at a glance.

Additionally they’ve made it so replies in threads are the same notification badge level as a DM. Previously it was white, now it’s red. So not only did they make it hard to see what workspace has a DM, I can’t actually tell if something is a DM or not.
Matt Levine has a great piece on ESG actually being a market reaction to the fact most people own index funds now. Since most people are concerned about the OVERALL market now, ESG serves to optimize an externalized concern for the entire market at specific firms.
If you pay $2k for unit pro it’s a max of 15 cents an install, actually less. And you pay nothing for installs until $1m in revenue and 1m installs in the previous 12 months
the prohibition of cannabis in the US had deeply racist origins. If this prohibition returns it will be for similarly racist purposes.
Yeah. The fact that you can't even fly your ship around a planet is astounding to me. The ship is basically nothing more than a glorified elevator.

I think all of those issues you listed were absolutely present in the Morrowind/Oblivion period. Really I don’t think it’s that Bethesda is a shadow of its former self. I think it’s that Bethesda still is its former self. The industry and our expectations have moved, but they really haven’t.
Are there perpetual unity licenses? If not, then surely the retroactivity comes as soon as you renew your license.
I did not work on IBD but have been doing stat gen at 23andMe for 13 years. I'd say that anything you evaluated many years ago is pretty irrelevant today as the 23andMe database (and our research effort) didn't reach an interesting size until maybe 2016 and has grown rapidly since then. Our research group has >100 peer reviewed publications, I think some of them are decent, and that's just what we publish. Most of those are genome-wide association studies so a lot might hinge on whether you find those interesting/valuable. I would not say these are methodologically innovative, but I think we do them well.

You may be correct that better targets may be faster to market. We would also hope so: better targets might be more straightforward to validate in the lab and may enable smaller trial sizes, for instance. Timelines are still long and this doesn't alter my statement that the success or failure of our target selection strategy won't be known for some years.

Do you have any evidence for additivity not accounting for most heritability? I'll give one cite (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2265475/). The fact that biology is very complex and non-linear is not inconsistent with most genetic effects being small and approximately additive.

We have never had a trait report on tongue curl, the 15-year-old blog post you linked to says it isn't a Mendelian trait, so I'm not sure where you were going with that. I can tell you that it is somewhat heritable but complex.

Meter-hertz is a natural expression of velocity in some contexts though.

The radius of a rotating disk times the frequency of rotation would give you the tangential velocity.

Or wave speed expressed as the product of wavelength and angular frequency.
…which means “accurate translation” has different meanings relative to the languages you’re referring to, as I first pointed out.
I just looked at the TOS and the Privacy Policy, I'm not a SME, I don't personally use VsCode and I didn't really dive deep into other pages than the TOS and the Privacy Policy, this is not legal advice in any way.

From what I've read, vscode does not send your code automatically to their servers, although this may happen through extensions.

You can disable *most* of the telemetry via https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry#_dis...

Seemingly vscode is GDPR compliant also outside of the EU if I understand this text correctly https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry#_gdp...

But, *if* they upload your code to their servers, they will train AI on it, as stated in the privacy policy https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement

"For example, to build, train, and improve the accuracy of our automated methods of processing (including artificial intelligence or AI), [...]"

Though if you really care about your privacy you shouldn't use VSCode, one alternative (there are many, vsocde is a text editor after all) is vscodium, but many extensions don't work with it because of how microsoft licensed the extensions.

When it comes to games it's always EA, isn't it? Isn't this CEO the one also responsible for some of EA's notoriety?
> Some mobile games have a ton of installs and a very small amount of revenue per user. Those 27cents per install are a lot of money for those type of games and will even make some business models no longer feasible.

When you put it that way, Unity could have come out of this price change looking like heroes with better messaging.

Serious games pay the $0.27 fee moving forward, and (hopefully) that comes with some new value add for end users (such as contractually enforced no advertising, cross-platform something something).

Ad-supported games use a different engine with different rules, and end users get the “free to play” benefit.

(The retroactive thing is obviously bullshit; I wonder how many studios will simply refuse to pay and jump ship for future titles.)
Gwern runs tests that long.
That's a bad take.

The science mouthpieces (aka media and government speaking on behalf of scientists) were insisting they knew the immutable facts and any questions or doubt in those immutable facts were heretical. Anyone who has an appreciation of the evolving nature of scientific research should immediately see the red flags in that.

"Antivax" is not a position of anti-science, it's a slanderous label for an alternative theory with its own compelling evidence.
The average person doesn't consider them to be a viable option. Don't ask me why, but it's true. And them being considered a viable option is a prerequisite to competition working right.
You edited your posts, thank you for realising you'd gone too far.

I think you’re missing the point about antitrust and competition. It’s about abusing your power to prevent potential competitors from competing on the merits. Paying to be a default means hardly anybody will ever see your competitors product.

If everybody was able to easily see Google’s results vs competitors it’s likely they would try harder and wouldn’t have just spent all their effort on cramming more ads above the results.
It been shown, multiple times, played out in several countries, that prohibition does. not. work. Singapore still had to catch and kill people who do drugs. In the War on Drugs, drugs is winning, by a large margin. We tried DARE, and Just Say No. They didn't work.

What's going to go down in history is how's stupid the way we've been fighting it has been, and the civil liberties we've given up in the face of it. Maybe one fought with therapists and psychiatrists, jobs and job placement programs, homes, and harm reduction would have better results, but we're not able to switch funding away from the DEA towards that. The only way to change the game is to fight it on the demand side. Make smoking pot that thing your lame parents, or that one uncle who never amounted to anything do.

If you also abstain from alcohol for the same reason then I applaud you.

Alcohol has NO safe level of consumption.

Unlike cannabis.

If you say this while consuming other drugs that are harsher and less safe then you should do some self reflection on your prejudices.
Toxic nerd fandoms do not directly map onto the far-right. Sure, there's overlap, but not all of them share those politics or are even political. There's also plenty of people who'd tar, feather, and run someone out of town on a rail for not being woke enough. Or who just have meltdowns about how the minute something isn't quite the way they wanted it, it's "TOTALLY RUINED!!"

Some small fraction of all of these weirdos would be willing to call in a death threat or actually follow through.

I find personally that "scientism", unlike many other ism-s, is an external label. I.e. I don't think people call themselves that. It's a negative label ascribed to people one philosophically disagrees with. As such, I am skeptical of its value and use.

Who is this they you speak of? Texas is a beautiful state, with a psychotic energy system, and a government that doesn’t represent the will of their people.
I'm surprised they even had such a repo public in the first place.

Every year Apple releases a new version of their Apple Developer Program License Agreement and Paid Applications agreement. I always download both as TXT files and diff against the previous one to see what changed. I practically don't even need to read any of the WWDC news to know what new things they are releasing.
New branding isn't necessarily bad; it can make a new product seem fresh. Technical infrastructure, both hardware and software, can be reused. You don't have destroy one software product to make another.

Take this OkCupid example; they had their website model. They could have just created "OkCupid Nights" as a separate Tinder-like product reusing as much of their tech as possible.
Your Terms of Service do not superscede your host country's foreign policy goals.

This may come as a surprise to some who apparently never took, or slept through civics, but as it so happens, the U.S. Federal Government has absolute, uncontested, and final say in terms of things like foreign policy. You do not get to be selective on that front.

State level anti-BDS laws are worth as much as toilet paper, but if the President has negotiated our support behind an ally, I am not aware of anything that allows you to independently pull back that support as a private citizen.

If this is going to turn into the landmark case, that's cool; but there it is very cut and dry who gets final on things like this. And again, these are very perilous waters to test, as a finding of aiding and abetting a foreign adversary of the United States is literally the only circumstance where the label treason is applicable.

It's a huge business, but it feels like it's much more of a commodity business.

Changing out the ad network is probably a matter of a fairly simple swap out of highly componentized components. I'm sure devs bounce from network to network fairly quickly chasing better revenue or support experiences.

Changing out a game engine is much heavier plumbing.

From that perspective, Unity might be going for a tail-wags-the-dog approach: making their ad platform stickier by tying it to something sticky, but then you'd expect to see something more direct towards that goal like "we don't allow use of other ad platforms in Unity projects".

They also went for a lot of splash damage on non-mobile scenarios-- ad-supported games don't really exist on the desktop (yes, a modest exception for some casual titles, typically stuff like Facebook-based games)

> I'm going to guess you've never spoken to anyone who is sending money back to their family in their original country with every paycheck.

If that sent money ever comes back to the domestic economy, then you are back to the previous situation.

If it doesn't come back, that's even better: because then your central bank can print more money to make up for the disappearance. Essentially, you got the foreigner to perform services in return for some ink and paper.
