I think that would be a stupid thing to do, and they should be free to do it.
I’m willing to bet it’s both hardware video en/decoding (which is necessary for the near zero lag double jump) and the Wi-Fi chipset. If most people are running these things in a tv cabinet on Wi-Fi, both need to be pretty decent for the experience not to be disappointing
The brightest side of AI in my opinion is that the jobs created will be of _lower_ technical skill compared to the jobs created by the computer revolution.

It will be _easier_ to take advantage of AI than it was to take advantage of a computer.

This means the new jobs could potentially be ones that more people can perform and the jobs eliminated will be some of the highly-technical ones.
Sounds alright to me. Something needs to be done about young children accessing pornographic content, and terrorists and paedophiles using end-to-end encrypted chat systems to cover their tracks. This seems like a reasonable compromise that won't affect most users, while also not mandating any specific technical solution, leaving the implementation up to subject matter experts.

These type of restrictions are always going to be somewhat difficult to fully realise due to the multi-jurisdictional nature of the Internet, but at least the UK is trying to do what's right for its own citizens. Which is quite an unusual yet welcome action for the current Government.
This is 78% accuracy from Gzip-based compression distance + KNN, which seems to be worse than any other distance measure you can think of + KNN.
Yes, it's Ruby on Rails! I'm using Hotwired on the frontend, which has been great for making discussions real-time while minimizing complexity. I'm hosting on Fly.io - I had used Render for a prior product (https://postcard.page), and found Render slow. Fly lets me set up multiple data centers, and they have an elegant little Ruby gem [1] to enable multi-region support on Rails without much fuss.

Unfortunately the approaches listed here, especially Kirby et al. do not look at how language is used in live, mutually responsive conversation.

Yup, it's not the most sophisticated of cost calculator, obviously there's a wide variation in cost savings from reducing query and compute load and the reduction is app specific.

I don't think you'd ever be able to do a console port with a GPL engine. The SDKs are all proprietary and behind NDAs.

It's so bad, and it made the topic of many schools into game development!
> sadly it's not rare that some phone hardware proprietary drivers are basically written once and then hardly maintained and in turn only work for a small number of Linux kernel versions.

The worst part of all of this is: Google could go and mandate that the situation improves by using the Google Play Store license - only grant it if the full source code for the BSP is made available and the manufacturer commits to upstreaming the drivers to the Linux kernel. But they haven't, and so the SoC vendors don't feel any pressure to move to sustainable development models.
Also, humans are squishy, you need safety requirements to keep them intact (seeing as human repair is incredibly costly and takes ages to complete, often with no guarantee that repair completes and performance levels go back to nominal), humans need sleep and can't work around the clock, and they have a mind of their own, which can make them difficult to deal with.
I think you're painting them with too broad of a brush. The documents here discuss exactly what the main problems were, so there's no need for us to speculate that a poor name or a lack of partnership from other platforms were big factors.

However, I do think we can speculate about why the lack of games became so dire. In my opinion, finding a way to license Windows at some sustainable pricing level would have saved them. And perhaps partnering with Valve to develop Proton further might have been a decent option as well.
Without knowing number of people per household, you cannot draw any conclusions on the top 20% spending 3x the bottom 20%.

The top 20% might have a disproportionate amount of family of 4+ with kids in their teenage years and parents in their highest earning years.

The bottom 20% might disproportionately be senior citizens collecting Social Security with no kids.

Also, top 20% are living in more expensive regions than bottom 20%. Lots of conflating factors to tease out that would result in 3x not being the correct multiple.
Indeed we do have that insight. We actually spoke with many people intimately involved in the process.
Near my work, there is a roughly 25 foot stretch of road in front of a factory where seemingly every FM station is overpowered by Muzak. I don’t know what the heck is going on in this factory but I have seriously considered contacting the FCC.
It makes sense as they're harder platforms to get into. Often the required SDK tooling being baked into an engine makes your life easier.

Are More Celebrities Dying? A Statistical Analysis
Not enough downvotes for this. I'm assuming this is all BS considering you got all the details wrong. It was the CEO who got a $3 million bonus in 2016, not the CIO. Susan Mauldin, who earned a music degree in college, was the Equifax CISO, not their CIO.

The reason I'm so salty about your response is when the breach happened, there were tons of news reports denigrating the CISO because she had a music degree. There may be a ton of reasons she wasn't good at her job (though it's hard to say as CISO is often a "sacrificial lamb" job anyway), and I'm certainly not defending Equifax, but I take major issue with the implication that a music degree makes someone unqualified for a tech job.

First, as she was CISO, she was presumably done with college many, many years ago. Lots of people have college degrees that aren't necessarily directed to the career they end up in. More importantly, though, I've found that there is a direct correlation between highly trained musicians and great software engineers. I don't know if it's a "same part of the brain" thing or whatever, but I'm actually astounded at the sheer number of "best of the best" software engineers I've worked with that are classically trained musicians. It's to the point that when hiring I give "extra points" if you will to musicians because, it my experience at least, the correlation is so strong.

So, frankly, you can take your "she had a music degree" shade and shove it.
Subject matter experts have unanimously said such a technology is not possible to implement safely.

So you equate people who get food stamps to unemployed people?

Here you see a guy that never even got the taste of minimal wage jobs and working to have something to eat. The pure privilege oozing from your comment is pathetic. Please do yourself a favor and touch some grass. There are millions of people working so much more than 40 hours and still receiving food stamps or people who realistically can't (disabilities etc.) that also receive food stamps and you just flat out ignore them to reinforce your image of the lazy do nothing. Please do yourself a favor and work minimal wage for 2 months and see if you can live of of that.
Do they really use OSM data? A few years ago we travelled in the Puna de Atacama region in Argentina, where most roads are just dirt tracks in the desert. Despite the zone being very sparely populated, most of the tracks are properly mapped on OSM. We used maps.me to have offline OSM maps (don't even dream of mobile Internet there, unless you use a satellite connection), and they proved to be very accurate. In most places, Google Maps wasn't even showing the presence of a road...
I'm baffled by how good minetest is now. Don't get me wrong they don't have feature parity with minecraft and likely never will. But the fact that they built the game as a voxel engine where people can add mods on top of it to make a full game is such a good idea! (eg. the default "minetest game" is a mod on top of the default engine, you can play other games)

Big plus for me: mod installation is seamless and when you want to join a server with other mods you don't have to install them locally.

Of course it still needs a lot of polish but it is really fun to play.

OSMand crashed regularly for me (my guess is out of memory). Organic Maps doesn't do that, so that's good.
On Linux, the mtime ("modification time") is indeed automatically updated when the content is changed, but it can also be set arbitrarily from userspace (e.g. using `touch`) without special permissions. This is very useful, e.g. when you mirror a directory you'll typically want to preserve the mtimes, to help identify changes later.

Linux also has a ctime ("status change time"), which is automatically updated when the content or metadata (inode) are changed. It is not possible to change from userspace (you have to use tricks such as changing the computer clock or directly modifying the disk). This gives you the security benefits, but it is not commonly used e.g. in backup tools, precisely because they want to be able to set "fake" timestamps.
I tried installing it too, but oddly enough, it lacked drivers. Linux on the same machine runs flawlessly. I needed it for testing a new piece of software i am working on. I managed to install it after downloading a bunch of extras. Once installed it started downloading updates..and it went on and on and on. It’s such a low quality os it’s hilarious.

Users flagged those comments; mods didn't touch them.
To be clear, the summary is not AI-generated - at least, not yet.

I talk in the demo about the 1% rule for users (1% post, 9% like/reply, and 90% just read). I envision each of these three as separate levels of engagement within Booklet:

1. Some users will post and create threads

2. Some users will read the summary email and never get deeper

3. Some users will see a thread in the summary email and get very engaged in that thread (for example, by commenting or following it)

Based on my experience, chat does a good job of #1, a mediocre job of #2, and a terrible job of #3. Specifically - long-running threads lack discoverability or engagement in chat, so people can't modulate their engagement to the topics they care about.

This is why I built discussions from the ground-up, rather than making some Slack plugin.

I'm going to repeat … cookie banners are not necessary for functionality that the user expects to receive as part of the service provided. And yes, this is part of the ePrivacy Directive. And indeed, the cookie banners that only “notify” users, without requiring an acknowledgement to proceed, are not even legal.

Go to any Mastodon website right now. Why aren't they providing a cookie banner for notifying that session cookies are used?

Go to GitHub for that matter. Why aren't they providing a cookie banner? We know why: https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/

GDPR isn't concerned with cookies. What the GDPR cares about is personal data and having a legal basis for processing. And “consent” is only one of those legal bases.

You don't need consent, for example, for using a home address for delivering pizza, since pizza delivery can't work without that home address. That's what's called a “legitimate” interest. You also don't need consent for keeping logs for security purposes, if the retention rate is reasonable (e.g., 3 months). You also don't need consent if the law demands that you keep certain records for fraud detection by law enforcement (e.g., banking).

--->

A vast majority of websites needing cookie banners or GDPR consent dialogs are doing spyware shit, which includes Google Analytics (85% of all websites), or behavioral advertising via RTB platforms. And the few websites that don't probably haven't spoken with lawyers yet.

Not AAA games - the real target here is mobile games. Those far exceed any profits the AAA industry generates.

Indies are a necessary casualty in the eyes of Unity (or more accurately: they're just not considered).

Unity is the engine behind some of the most popular mobile gacha games. MiHoYo (Genshin/Honkai Impact) uses it for everything, so does Type/Moon (Fate Grand Order). They want a slice of that pie. That's where the real money is. Those games rake in hundreds of millions of dollars every month.

Hence also why the charge is by install and can be waived if you use Unity's adtech offerings.

> If you’re using Webpack you can emit chunks by their content hash

You’re talking about this in terms of chunks of JavaScript, but static asset caching is something you should be doing for all static assets, not just JavaScript. Whenever I’ve seen somebody use Webpack content hashing for this, they’ve done it for JavaScript and CSS and forgot about basically every other type of file. And also, now you are tied to only referencing those assets via JavaScript because you have to get the URLs from Webpack, whereas with a URL prefix you can just use relative URLs which work in other contexts as well.
Contributing a driver to mainline Linux takes significant time and effort up front. You can't just throw anything over the Linux fence and expect that already-overworked kernel maintainers keep tending for it for the next decades.

Slapping together a half-working out-of-tree kernel module and calling it a day is not only much cheaper; it also buys you the time you need to write the new driver for next year's hot shit SoC that smartphone vendors demand.
The confusion is that the order of the key and value can be reversed, and commas are optional, so there's no way to tell at a glance what e.g. the value associated with:bar is.
Of course not. It's a branch of mathematics. Always has been.
> You don't see Windows driver developers having their drivers broken by updates every few months.

At the cost of Windows kernel development being a huge PITA because effectively everything in the driver development kit becomes an ossified API that can't ever change, no matter if there are bugs or there are more efficient ways to get something done.

The Linux kernel developers can do whatever they want to get the best (most performant, most energy saving, ...) system because they don't need to worry about breaking someone else's proprietary code. Device manufacturers can always do the right thing and provide well-written modules to upstream - but many don't because (rightfully) the Linux kernel team demands good code quality which is expensive AF. Just look at the state of most non-Pixel/Samsung code dumps, if you're dedicated enough you'll find tons of vulnerabilities and code smell.

No, I can use EBT at most corner stores.

What's your point? That large, established chains can't accept EBT?

I don't see any innovation here. I think it's simple hype: "We're among the first to use a variant of these 'horseless carriages' to enhance mobility."

The first jaunt starts with the vehicle half off the pathway and in danger of colliding with a fence. So the operator manipulates the wheel to guide the contraption back onto the path. Fine enough if the path is "level" (already flattened and firm). So hope you enjoy your rides on well-paved roads!

And the operator doesn't truly control the vehicle - they merely grasp the steering device and then, just like a carriage driver, rotate the wheel until the vehicle alters its direction. In any case, fuggeddabout "tranquil and fragrant travels".

Surgery being undertaken doesn’t mean there’s an intent or expectation to cure: this is your point of confusion. Incurable doesn’t mean “we’ll never do anything to try and help”.

1) Some tumors (brain being one example) cause problems due to the space they take up and the pressure they exert on nearby organs. Removing a large part of the tumor stops this happening, until the tumour regrows. This hopefully means that majority of the patient’s remaining life is mostly free of these problems.

2) Debulking can also help with subsequent treatment, as there’s less tumor to have to be treated.
> How do they know the wood was used 476,000 years ago, as opposed to a human 6000 years ago finding and using some 470,000 year old wood?

Surely we have not fallen this far away from nature as a species? Wood rots.

IMO you're just being facetious about the find.
With fingerprinting, each asset has a URL you need to ultimately get from your bundler individually. With a URL prefix, your assets retain their original filenames. In some contexts you’ll need to know the prefix, but it’s the same for every asset. And in other contexts you can just use relative URLs and not think about it at all.
Trains have been electric for a few decades, you don't need super high tech batteries for that.

I suspect the person you are replying to finds it ironic because Tesla is largely competing with the rebirth of good public transports in the west. Musk hates them and regularly says so.

I've used Twist, and I've had friends use it in their companies. I know of nobody that continues to use it today.

I'm attempting to solve this issue in Booklet by building a deep email integration. I've talked a lot about the summary email. But, one little feature I haven't discussed much is the following mechanism on threads. When subscribed to a thread, all replies trigger emails, and the emails thread in your inbox like a Google Group. (Post via email is on my to-do list, too). My vision is that people can continue to use Booklet from their email (and, perhaps other tools in the future) without needing to log in to the app.
Absolutely. Electrification is way (2x? 3x?) more efficient than producing and transporting clean hydrogen, or using an electric battery.

Using batteries isn't a goal. It's something we do when there is no alternative.
