I'm not aware of any version of D&D where just being bigger makes you harder to hit. In the current (5th edition), I believe size has no effect on chance to hit. In some earlier editions, being bigger makes you easier to hit, and being smaller makes you harder to hit (e.g. 3rd edition: https://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/combatStatistics.htm).
I suspect it's "unbelievable" because we are so used to fines being tiny "slaps on the wrist" that companies just treat as minor costs of doing business. Finally a real fine! When a company that makes $10B a year gets a fine of $100K, it's proportional to me getting a fine of $1. How is that effective?
Another competitor for new music is old content. Today's popular music is popular, but the proportion of music played that's considerably older is higher than ever before. Distribution isn't a push model where radio play and what's stocked in record stores drives everything and devalues the old; people have broader tastes than before.

This means that if you try to jack prices, people will substitute existing things they have in their library much more readily.
I only drink Coca-Cola when there's no alternative, I find it bland and all three versions far too sweet (but Pepsi is even sweeter). Even then, it has to carbonated and chilled, it's just horrible when warm and flat. How people can drink anything that sweet out of choice beats me.

For years, I've wondered why I was among the few who would much prefer to drink something else—I kept asking myself why wasn't I getting the enjoyment from it that others seemingly were. When others were drinking Coke I'd be drinking beer.

Well, I reckon that doco has finally answered it for me, especially the section about blind tastings consistently ranking New Coke ahead of Pepsi and classic Coke. It's familiarity and advertising that accounts for its popularity and their effects come well ahead of taste.

Maybe that I've always gone out of my way to avoid viewing advertising—especially on TV—that also has something to do with it. If asked to describe any Coke ad on TV there's no way I could do so.
Pretty much all data eventually ends up in 2 dimensions (rows & columns) so all these complicated data models are just mostly complicating things.

Wouldn't be that certain... there is a lot of stuff built on Unity. The most common theme I heard was that they're trying to capitalize off of Genshin Impact [1], but there's also a ton of other highly successful games like Among Us or Untitled Goose Game that won't/can't (easily) be ported to another engine.

In other words, they want to become the IBM of game engines. Rent seekers for sub-par service.

No. It really is that simple. There are x units and y people looking for units in an area. If we had enough housing it wouldn't be seen as investment because the returns would be terrible since landlords would be competing for renters instead of the other way around. Leaving housing vacant only makes sense if you've cornered the market or are a land speculator. Most American cities do not have a cornered rental market so we just need to stop land speculation.

If it weren't for a family member using my Netflix account that begs me to keep it, I would have canceled it long ago.

Transmetropolitan. Basically cross Hunter S Thompson and Futurama. The blackest of black comedies. Likely to be a love/hate kind of thing... but it's one of the books that opened my eyes to what a non-superhero comic could be.
It’s great for bootstrapping. A $5 droplet at Digital Ocean is more affordable than $25 per month. The same is true if you take advantage of lambdas. Quick boot up. Able to do more CPU work per unit of time. All because it’s fast and low memory.

Also the dependency world isn’t as messed up at it is in Typescript. I’ve been spending the better part of my time fixing dependabot issues. Some package I don’t know about is causing me to have to upgrade everything. Crazy stuff.

> It takes thousands of streaming listens of an artist for that artist to receive the equivalent of one CD purchase from back in the day.

In fairness, most artists didn't receive anything from a CD purchase, either, as the costs to make and promote the album are usually deducted from the artist's share of royalties. (Also, said "costs" are often inflated/charged above the label's actual cost).
It's not passive. There's a bunch of DSP on the RF plus regular CPU on computing the location from the demo demodulated signals. 32-bit CPU.
Interesting.

As someone with a lot of data experience, and in particular including financial data (trading team in a hedge fund) I definitely prefer the column format where each currency is its own column.

That way it's very easy to filter for only the currencies I care about, and common data processing software (e.g. Pandas for Python) natively support columns, so you can get e.g. USDGBP rate simply by dividing two columns.

The biggest drawback of `eurofxref-hist` IMO is that it uses EUR as the numeraire (i.e. EUR is always 1), whereas most of the finance world uses USD. (Yeah I know it's in the name, it's just that I'd rather use a file with USD-denominated FX rates, if one was available.)

> It's so sad, because it's all so unnecessary.

That's a rather naive take. There's no point moralizing, or being wishful about it. Just embrace the game theory nature of reality.

Corporate and governmental power structures will always be susceptible to capture and exploitation. We need to set up structures that can not be co-opted by the psychopaths, or at least contain a poison pill that makes them much less attractive targets for such people.

The lesson from this example is that the author maintained ownership, and so in the end could do something meaningful to combat the company that has become corrupted.
That may or may not happen and in any case, it's in the future. People want to be paid what they're worth now.
His FAQ in the follow up post makes it clear he believes that he's released to the public domain every part of it that he owns. That would include all of his writing over the years.

There's certainly a lot of gray area left on the artwork, especially. DC probably owns most of it? It might take a lot of work to track down the original artists and find their thoughts on all this.

At face value based on what Willingham seems to believe, you could probably remix the early comics, use the dialog word for word, maybe even panel for panel. But you'd probably need to use entirely new artwork and be very careful that the artwork is entirely new with fresh concepts.

But there's a fun twist there given how much of Fables is itself based on older public domain works and arguments that many of the core concepts of the characters have always been public domain and even very close artwork may be entitled to some interesting fair use judgments.

(I'm not a lawyer of course, and neither is Willingham. If I had one suggestion for Willingham it might be to talk to Creative Commons lawyers and get something like the CC0 involved, including legally binding descriptions of the parts of the series that Willingham now thinks are dedicated to the public domain.)
The output from an LLVM frontend compiler is LLVM IR, which is sort of a high-level architecture-agnostic assembly.

The LLVM backend compiles this IR to the target architecture's machine code.

Some optimizations can (and do?) happen in the backend compiler, but for the most part it is up to the frontend to emit IR that is well optimized within the semantics of the frontend language.

The history of Rust, for example, is filled with examples of optimizations made not to the standard library, but to how the frontend emits IR.

Beyond that, different languages and ecosystems are going to have differing levels of optimization in their stdlib and runtime that will have an outsize effect on day-to-day performance.

Interesting fact about Hilbert spaces: The inner product of a Hilbert space induces a norm and thus every Hilbert space is a Banach space. But what about the converse? Say we only have a normed vector space, can we decide if there is an inner-product space that actually induces this norm? The answer is yes! Simply check if the Parallellogram Law [1] holds.

You should checkout powershell; it supports converting CSV into in-memory structured data and then you can run regular powershell queries on that data:

$> csvData = @"
Name,Department,Salary
John Doe,IT,60000
Jane Smith,Finance,75000
Alice Johnson,HR,65000
Bob Anderson,IT,71000
"@;

$> csvData
| ConvertFrom-Csv
| Select Name, Salary
| Sort Salary -Descending

Name Salary
---- ------
Jane Smith 75000
Bob Anderson 71000
Alice Johnson 65000
John Doe 60000

You can also then convert the results back into CSV by piping into ConvertTo-Csv

$> csvData
| ConvertFrom-Csv
| Select Name, Salary
| Sort Salary -Descending
| ConvertTo-Csv

"Name","Salary"
"Jane Smith","75000"
"Bob Anderson","71000"
"Alice Johnson","65000"
"John Doe","60000"
This isn't just for chess -- it's practically any knowledge task that you can build expertise in.

E.g. take programming. Suppose I sat down an experienced programmer and a novice and gave them the same small (~10-20 line) function to reproduce from memory. If the function is a "reasonably written function" I'm willing to bet that the experienced programmer could reproduce the function with just one or two "peeks" -- once you have enough experience, you can better recognize patterns / chunk your knowledge. A novice doesn't have this ability, so it would likely take them many more peeks.

On the other hand, if the function is some random gibberish with little structure, you could imagine that it's probably equally difficult for both the experienced programmer and the novice to reproduce the function from memory.

For chess, one reason why masters can better recall positions is because they know what typical positions look like (e.g. a position typical of the "London" opening). Then, they only need to store a "diff" of the given position and a typical position. ("It's a typical London setup for White, except White also played a3 and b4.") A novice doesn't have this knowledge, so they have to store the whole position.

Go's tooling is much better in one key aspect, compile times. Rust's compile times and feedback loop are terrible and it is not a community priority (ie. they want to make it faster, but only incrementally and not the orders of magnitude improvement it needs). Go's could be better but at least it is a priority.

We can change Bitcoin's code to keep emitting beyond 21 million units. The consensus isn't there, yet, but nothing physical is preventing that from ever happening... Bitcoin's supply limit is a policy (ie. political), not a physical limit.
I've played some TTRPGs that have a d6-based system that I really like. The basic idea: you build your dice-pool out of only d6, roll it, and take the best single value that you rolled. Most player rolls use 2-3 dice, and the pool caps out at 5 dice.

If your best value is 6, the result is "success with nothing bad". If it's 4-5, the result is "success with a consequence". If it's 3 or lower, the result is "failed with a consequence".

Special-cases: a 0d6 dice-pool is rolled by rolling 2d6 and picking the worst value. And if two (or more) of your dice come up as 6, it's "success with an extra benefit".
You should add shadow to the list of important cues. Something light in shadow can be the same color as something white in direct light. You can see that optical illusion in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion.

My favorite example of where shadow matters is "the dress". As https://slate.com/technology/2017/04/heres-why-people-saw-th... explains, those whose brains assumed it was in shadow saw it as white and gold. Those whose brains thought it was in light saw it as blue and black. (It was actually a blue and black dress, in light. But the photo was taken in such a way that most people thought it was in shadow.)
I work for a hedgehog based studio for their supposedly non existent mobile games arm albeit I don't work in engineering.

For us, it's a huge deal. It's that people have spent the best part of a decade working with Unity, their support and enterprise training is very good. Also we have a game out in December which is also Unity based.

Another way of looking at it: we're always positing on this site how much value we leave on the table as software developers and how we should try to capture more of that value, whether it be by consulting, or freelance work or a startup.

Nearly every company, what is your source for that? I've never even heard of this before.
Note that, "older" means before April 2023. The language that existed then said you could continue to use the calendar year version that was available at the time, so presumably, you can use 2023 releases of their software as long as you were using it (started development? started training?) before April, assuming the courts rule that the old Software ToS applies.

I can't imagine anyone will start using them now, so there's a good chance that the new ToS will only apply to whatever new customers they signed on between April 2023 and Sept 2023, and people that voluntarily update to the 2024 release.

Still, it's a shame. They just threw out millions of developer hours (minimum), and it doesn't seem likely they'll be able to come back from their mistake.
It's actually possible to use LLMs to assist literature reviews. We built a product that works smashingly. The key is to keyword extract, use a vector database and do search based generation.

Our key insight is that the process of citation needs to be handled outside the LLM. They're good for text processing and summarization but as you said, the LLM itself is poor at citation.

I have a cable. It's got USB-C plugs on both ends. What can it do?

Power? How much?

Data? How much?

How long is it? How flexible is it?

What does the cable itself report it is capable of, vs what is it actually capable of?

I apologize for not being clear in my comment. None of my musing was meant to allude to public policy or law.

Even worse is the shrinkflation with stealth price increase.

Haagen Dazs recently reduced the size of their ice cream containers from 500ml to 450 ml while keeping the price the same.

Fine. They succumbed to shrinkflation.

But it's only at the checkout counter where you get hit with the stealth price increase.

In Canada, they tax individual items of certain foods but don't tax family-size portions of those foods.

It turns out that 500ml is the limit for family-sized portion of ice cream container. Buying less than 500ml results in the store charging tax on the item (Ontario HST is 13%).

So Haagen Dazs is getting a bit more and the government gets some where before they got nothing.
