Most of the US military budget is directly related to labor costs. US labor is extremely expensive in all regards, on par with some of wealthiest nations in Europe.

If you properly adjust for that fact - basically do some manner of reasonable PPP adjustment - China is already spending on par with or more than the US at this point.

The reason the US military budget is seemingly so massive, is because the US economy has such an extreme output per capita, at present ~$80,000 (Britain + Japan combined). Astronomical for a nation so large. ~3% of $27 trillion is not unreasonable for a superpower with global interests. Russia has given us a demonstration, again, that we in fact do need that military capability. China will probably provide another.
If I read this correctly, the money wasn’t meant for the artist, but was rather meant to be put into the artwork itself as banknotes (which would then presumably be owned by the museum). It seems to be a pretty clear case of fraud masquerading as art, and the artist admits as much in the title of the work.
You know the answer.

For some, a few days of GDScript usage. For others, after they convert their bottlenecks into C++.

UE’s blueprints are much(!) slower than native code, but they’re still an incredible tool in the toolbox. GDScript is kind of the same; it’s covering a critical role of non-performance-sensitive glue.

That said, I’d really like to see Value Types added, as well as these sorts of heap allocations addressed in Godot 4 at some point.

I feel like “putting wifi in my home” is similar to “putting bodies that emit heat in my home”. Neither of which implicitly grant law enforcement to come and observe either through the walls of my home.

I am not a lawyer, nor am I familiar with the SCOTUS case referenced in the article. But I really hope it is precedent enough to make any judge throw out any such violations without any hassle.
Cronyism isn't an exception to microeconomics, it's a lesser-known example of a consumer preference. In this case the board has a... preference... for cronies. :-)
I'm using the phrase everyone else is using to describe a common phenomenon that the discourse seems to have converged on using that phrase for. I take your point that we have until now used hallucinate to describe something humans do, that is, "perceive something that isn't there and believe it is", but seeming as the only way we know if someone is hallucinating is if they say something strange to us, I think we could also say that there is a sense that hallucinate means to "talk about something that isn't there as if it it". LLMs producing text, in the style of a conversation is kind of like talking about things. So we can have a nonconcesous non-human system do something like talking, and if it is talking, it can talk in a way that could be called hallucinating.
C# strikes the balance between speed and dynamic features IMHO. Especially for games that need mod support (which is not that uncommon at all), using C# allows for the modders to easily interface with existing code, while still getting near-native performance thanks to the type system and JIT. C++ code in such case would be too rigid to be modified and hard to interface wth.
Italy's $12B Bridge Mystery [video]
I have been taking Humira for close to 7 years now. What disgusted me was not just the antics of AbbVie in patent protecting Humira, but how my brother (who works at AbbVie) began justifying their acrimonious practices.

Although, thankfully now there are a bunch of biosimilars coming onto the market, so we can expect to see further price decreases. For a manufacturing project, we contracted out a study recently on the market sizes (in USD) for a number of biosimilars under development. Humira is the only one that's predicted to have a market size reduction (by 40%!) because of how much AbbVie has been milking it.

Yeah, https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html. But I would say it is good for those who already know another programming language and not for complete beginners.
It really depends on what your game/team needs. If you're trying to make a match-3 then Unreal is maybe not the best choice. If you're trying for competitive cutting edge graphics in an engine that is mostly done so you can actually focus on the graphics, then Unreal is top of list.

I think its probably better to look at Unreal as state of the art but licensable. Other big game companies have cutting edge engines but they're proprietary and not available to license.
>The larger firms have security departments ready to respond to CVE’s and 0days.

Nah, they do have large security departments, though.

I've met many CSOs that had never wrote a line of code in their lives. That kind of works ... until it doesn't and it fails embarrasingly bad.
Oh i just checked. It is generally available where I live. I guess the "your invited to try bard because your a local guide" was just trying to make me feel special and go sign up.
We could penalize big cities for the negative externalities they cause on surrounding cities.
If someone is worried that their government could be flashing the firmware of their WiFi router to use the beamforming antennae of the router to track them walking around their home....

Then they should be way more worried that their government is using any access to their wifi router at all. Like, you got way bigger things to worry about at that point, right?

There are a million surveillance side-channels that could be used to build profile-able information about what is happening inside a home from the outside. The concern isn't that those things are possible (they always will be) the concern should be that there are authorities who could be (mis)using such avenues and not explicitly being disallowed in the first place.

> given the complaints of women in male dominated organizations, any group that is male only comes across as suspect

Believe me, any male dominated groups I've been in were not male only by design. You simply live in tech or geek culture and try to arrange meetups, and you will end up 80+% male. I wager in terms of "individuals" it's more like 70%, but many women who show up come with an SO so that pushes the statistic higher.

I dunno if this is some odd Gen X/Boomer divide, but I can't recall a purposefully male oriented space. Ironically enough, the first that comes to mind is... single father gatherings. The one example given in the article is church, and IME churches were slightly skewed female (note, I come from a black background so that may affect experiences).
I dislike the pretense that bad things happening is somehow good. Or when someone does something that everyone else has done a million times before (like graduate with a higher degree or get into law school), it is somehow newsworthy. I think it makes sense to share highlights of your life with people who care about you, not your professional acquaintances. I want newsworthy and informative items, not feel-good memes or self-congratulatory posts. I also dislike the evangelists who pretend their X thing will save the world and cure all its ills. Yuck.
Being honest, I'd really have to know what kind of timeframe that $1.5M was paid out. Was that a single year? 5? 10? It changes my opinion, slightly.

If its $1.5M in a single year, I have absolutely no tears to shed.

If that was 5 years, that's $300k/yr in compensation. A very comfortable salary in just about every place in the country. Once again, I probably have no tears.

If that was 10 years, that's $150k/yr. Ok, if you're expected to live in Manhattan or whatever, I'll agree that's pretty tight. Still though, that's a couple times the average household income in the US. Congratulations on being a bit closer to a plebeian. Boo hoo, guy who could have had generational wealth just had to live like the rest of us. What a tragedy. Truly zero income, being more than twice the average household income for a single earner without even thinking of other compensation he might have received.

I can't imagine this was some kind of performance pay over 15-20 years, so his pay has to be in this. I don't have a WSJ subscription, so I can't comment further on it.

Drone loitering seems to work really well. We call army units on boats marines. What do we call army units that provide their own air cover? Aerials?

The combat footage out of Ukraine is very enlightening. Communication, drone surveillance, full stomachs and no booze is apparently how you win a land war in Asia.
What I can't comprehend is the scale of the failure of the justice system here. Unless I am mistaken there were hundreds of victims over more than a decade. So 700 trials, in which the judges and the juries failed these people. How can such a systemic failure happen? It paints a very poor picture of the justice system in the UK ...
I wonder why they don’t have a human on the ground ready to fly it like a drone via sattelite as soon as the pilot is no longer capable of flying. Sure sattelite is probably way too slow to really maneuver a jet but seems better than crashing it.
I think that which game engine will be "good" depend on manyu things including what kind of game, what computer system, FOSS, licensing, other features, etc.

How is equity comp factored in?
Sure, you can argue that coverage for lead optimization is an unintentional feature, not a bug of Markush. But you have to admit that the current system is leveraged in bad faith i.e. for hedging against generics, staggering patents to maximize exclusivity period, exceptional vagueness and overreach in the structure definitions.

Technology and legal practices have far outpaced the USPTO. We have accidentally incentivized sheer volume and intentionally poor record-keeping as a moat. This is a fundamental _inefficiency_, because it de-emphasizes property based engineering and pushes ADMET down the road. Why do so many candidates fail for ADMET reasons a few years down the line? Because people aren't thinking about the risks sooner! Why not? Because surely the patent will cover everything.

Add to everything how siloed big pharma is and it becomes impossible to coordinate across the pipeline. IANAL, but certainly there must be some middle ground here -- the last time the USPTO took a stab at redefining this mess was 2007, but they failed.

https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/web/offices/com/so...

They more or less proposed what you said: file a claim for each different invention, putting the onus of proof on the filer. In the amendment, Markush is appropriate if you have evidence backing that the chemical space has a true shared utility via structure i.e. test it or forget it OR the chemical space is 'obvious'.

When you read the original intent of the Markush decision i.e. "members of [a] Markush group are alternatively usable for the purposes of the invention," it becomes clear that we have strayed waaay from this definition. A Markush can easily contain structures that are impossible to synthesize at all!

It's not necessarily being immediate mode that is the problem. The bigger problem with most IM GUI's is they expect to repaint at 60 frames per second like a video game which is bad for mobile devices as it drains battery life. Non-game GUI's should only repaint when needed. Another problem is most IM GUI's lack accessibility and i18n support. Want emoji or right-to-left text? Too bad.
Chicago considering first city-owned grocery store
I disagree. The trajectory of technology generally is:

possible -> prototype -> product -> common -> common and cheap

If Wi-Fi surveillance were to become common and cheap, other methods would be produced to make data harvesting common and cheap to the surveillance state/bigco. The best way to avoid that dystopia is to safeguard it early in the process.
Yes, I've called it using the Python library like this:

I clicked through to the text of the study and it says no such thing. It seems to be about real world COP versus temperatures. It bashes the strawman of resistive heating a few times, and once even fallaciously compares heat pump nameplate efficiency to combustion nameplate efficiency. But there is absolutely no discussion of power plant efficiency that would be necessary to support the headline.

I think the headline certainly can be true. And obviously heat pumps' ability to use electricity that hasn't been generated by fossil fuels is critical. But this article adds nothing to the discussion.

who would we group with? This is sort of what coworkers do for lunch, but thats one consequence of more WFH/Remote initiatives. Forget Third Place, we may lose our Second Place within the decade for some industries.

Thing is a lot of people seem fine with this. They have families and it's a very common response to say "My best friend is my wife" or "I don't need work to make friends". To my charaign as someone not interested in a romantic relationship right now, many people seem to isolate by their own will.
I can’t speak for the parent, but @onready combined with the $ operator is a delight when making a prefab.

I also very much like the way signals are declared compared to C#’s code generation.

I’m also a fan of TypeScript, so being able to do gradual typing while prototyping is a huge plus. It’s going to be a big advantage if they ever get JIT.

Everything being reference-counted, rather than fretting about GC pauses is comforting too.

> focus on the graphics

Unreal isn't good just because of the graphics. It has loads of tools built in, and that's where most of the value is in my opinion.

This video will give you an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2IP5DYQ0-0
We can distinguish it. That's what publishers and editors do. It's also what book buyers for book chains used to do. Reviewers, writing for reputable publications, with their own editors and publishers, as well.

Humans, examining things, and putting a reputation that matters on the line to vouch for it.

The fact that Amazon doesn't want to have smart, contextually aware humans look at and evaluate everything people propose to offer up for sale on their storefront doesn't mean it can't be done. Same as how Google doesn't want to look at every piece of content uploaded to YouTube to figure out if it's suitable for kids, or includes harmful information. That's expensive, so they choose not to do it.
i don't think any safeguards will protect us from evils brought about by technology - it evolves too fast already for the society to catch up .
Yes! We definitely do - in fact this is how we develop locally, our local stack is pretty intricate and can fail in different areas, so it's pretty nice for us to be able to debug errors directly in HyperDX when we're developing HyperDX!

Otel tracing works and should be pretty bulletproof - metrics is still early so you might see some weirdness (we'll need to update the remaining work we've identified in GH issues)

You can 100% build tabular views based on JSON logs, we auto-parse JSON logs and you can customize the search table layout to include custom properties in the results table.

Let us know if we fulfill this need - we at least do this ourselves so I feel pretty confident it should work in your use case! If there's anything missing - feel free to ping us on Discord or open an issue, we'd likely benefit from any improvement ideas ourselves while we're building HyperDX :)

Edit: Oh I also talk a bit about this in another comment below https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37561358

I'm going to write out a short idea...

We need a prompt that is situational, that morphs with interaction.

So we have a prompt provided by python fstrings:

f"""
# Actions context could be up here. You would ammend the "reply" section below with "reply with words or an action".

This is a summary of your recent interaction with PLAYER CHARACTER: { self.recent_memory() }

This is how you feel about PLAYER CHARACTER: { self.disposition() }

Your current conversation with PLAYER CHARACTER is: { self.conversation }

Score how the last reply effects you emotionally using this format <some extractable format with a function call>

Replying in a tone consistent with your disposition towards PLAYER CHARACTER, you say:
"""

self.recent_memory would be a summary of previous discussions and decreasing granularity the farther in time they are. Eventually the content of the memory fades, and only the emotional impact remains.

This could also be applied to general memories, where you would run a prompt through the situation you want the character to remember and then that gets embedded in the emotional/memory and recalled "realistically".

self.disposition would be a short text description of how the character feels about the player's character as well as a scoring mechanism that weights the effect of recent conversations against prior conversations.

Actions could be embedded into the prompt to allow the character to do stuff when so inclined.

Google's doing it to balance traffic loads. Remember that you're the product, not the customer. Right now it's just in the testing phase, but soon the capability will be sold to municipalities and billboard owners.

On another topic, how is Lotus 1-2-3 going these days?
What it surprised me the most is that according to the author the model do not make illegal moves meaning it has developed a pretty good model about the game (it's not given any representation about the board during the game).

Even though GPT models should not really be that good to model the game of chess in general as any new tokens starts from zero and it needs to retrieve all information it needs, and the state of the board cannot be "saved" at the same layer because after the token has retrived it it would need to add the new semi-move on top and it's already one layer more deep, RNN seems they would be better at this as the cells take the h vector as input, add new information on it and pass it to the next tokens at the same layer, so it would be perfect for saving the state of the game; of course this would not allow parallel training like transformer models, this is the tradeoff.
I use Bard often to help me with proofreading and writing. Things that used to be a chore are now easy. I've been able to knock out a whitepaper I've been sitting on for months in just a few days.

I think asking it for precise answers is the wrong approach. At this point, Bard is a lot more of an artist than a mathematician or scientist. So it's like approaching Van Gogh and asking him to do linear algebra.

Bard is really good at some things, and if you understand how to work with him, he can take you far.
What I'm trying to get at is, even if this type of Wifi surveillance becomes commong and cheap, it still requires access at a low level to the wifi router itself. Which should be hands-off in the first place. It's like having cameras in your house on your local network... if the police could legally hack into your network, they could watch you on the cameras to see if you are committing crimes! But... the point is they shouldn't be able to do that, regardless if you have the cameras or not... the line is drawn at the access.

Same thing there. It shouldn't matter if the tech is possible, produced, cheap, and installed in your home.... it's all moot if the act of the surveillance isn't followed through. We need to work towards ways to prevent the acts themselves, as we simply aren't going to be able to prevent the possible sidechannel attacks from being possible. They are always possible.
