And that's because the author didn't even touch the "in-app" purchase and "in-app" ads capabilites from Godot x Unity, which is the way the studios complaining about the new Unity pricing, generate their income..
That is left as an exercise for Microsoft to figure out. I'm not confident they will fail. Clippy could come out of retirement with a vengeance as the best member of Microsoft teams.
That's the sort of generic argument you can make against ever changing anything.

I agree, though it's consistent with the extremes to which non-harm gets taken in many Eastern religions, which according to the article were a strong influence on his ethics. Not eating root-vegetables, etc.
I think IQ reflects your general cognitive ability AND a few other things like wealthy parents etc.

I didn't know this, and these types of details would definitely modulate my (and probably other's) perception of India's justification. Example: if there was credible imminent threat, and uncooperative foreign government giving no alternative but the emergency use of clandestine force.
I think it’s a situation where splunk doesn’t have a motivation to reduce cost as they can charge a lot and customers pay.

So it doesn’t need to be expensive, naturally, it just is.
> money is going to pr not building plants

There is tons of private capital ready to finance new plants. If coal communities grant permits, the panels will be laid.

Also, I’m suggesting a plan an enterprising community could launch to put themselves at the front of the line. Hell, they could probably sell carbon credits against the phase-out.
> Isn't 'th' just the aspirated version of 't'?

'th' is only an aspirated 't' for loan words in English. Most English words pronounce 'th' as the fricatives /θ/ or /ð/.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th_(digraph)

"Thyme" is odd because it used to be spelled "tyme" in Middle English (1066-1400s). I assume it was changed to 'th' to be more similar to Latin and French. Something similar happened to "island" (iland) and "isle" (ile) where a silent 's' was added to make the words closer to the Latin "insula".

Element X also is geared up for powerusers (e.g. as project lead, I consider myself a poweruser) and i've been absolutely loving it as my daily driver for the last few months on mobile. For instance, my account is in around 4,000 chatrooms, and Element iOS was taking ~10s to launch and sync, and could easily take minutes to sync in the morning (heaven forbid the app was offline for more than overnight). Meanwhile, Element X launches in around 100ms, no matter how long it's been offline, and syncs in around a second.

The model that we're going for is similar to iOS or macOS: something which is incredibly simple for normal users, but can also scale up seamlessly for crazy powerusers.

In terms of specific poweruser features: I suspect the strategy will be to see if we can provide the same end result without actually adding the feature - and failing that, add the feature very strategically via progressive disclosure... or perhaps not at all, and rely on other Matrix apps to pick it up.

The intention is to fairly rapidly replace regular Element on mobile with Element X, eitherway.
So host it yourself. It's literally designed to do that.
you are muddying two concepts. It is important that people have the perception that markets are fair, and actual fairness should be considered an important part of that.

but in terms of market efficiency, trading on inside information actually does move the market in the correct direction, toward its new market clearing price, so trading on inside information generally makes the market more efficient: if you are trading based on statistical properties of the market, "a diversified portfolio across market sectors", having the prices be corrected will give you a more balanced portfolio.

I'm not an expert on the intricacies of the regulations around acquisitions, but Cisco, big company, deciding to acquire Splunk, smaller company, is a very material fact about Splunk. Acquirers are only allowed to acquire a certain number of shares before making a public tender offer, because shareholders are entitled to know this information.

answering GPs question "who is harmed", well if you collect profits on one big trade, they came from somewhere, they came from people who traded with you without having the information you have, a trade which you enticed by making your lowball offer which only appeared like a good offer because they were in the dark. If such trades were legal, then insiders would corner the entire market for shares before any announcement was ever made.
If this article is true, I wonder if newer frameworks like Android's Compose are fundamentally flawed, at least when used in languages with garbage collection.

Essentially, composable can recompose with every frame, like for an animation. But, in certain circumstances, this will cause allocations for every frame.

For example, a modifier that is scoped to something like BoxScope. You can't hoist it out of the composable, it has to be in BoxScope. If that scope is animated on every frame, that modifier get re-allocated, every frame. That could be a lot of pressure on the GC.

Edit: Then again, its hard doing anything realtime in GC languages like Java / Kotlin, maybe its possible if doing 0 allocations per event.
insider trade? Maybe not. Unethical? Yes. IANAL but this can be grounds for firing and potentially DataDog can sue for misusing what is effectively their confidential information.
> Apple is in a prime position to make strides in language model development on their hardware.

Ok, I'll take the bait and disagree with your agreement.

Apple has a good thing going for now. However, their tightly coupled HW/OS and insular corporate culture limit their reach. LLM is a good example of this. They may have their own cooking in some secret room. Or not. What is the value=(reward/risk) of making something like an on-device LLM that Apple might do? Maybe Apple will acquire you or maybe you get Sherlocked.

As an example, Siri was an acquisition and neat trick, but it's barely improved since 2011 (I'm still a basically satisfied many x daily user). Although Apple has changed lots since 2011, it hasn't demonstrated an ability to execute something like meaningful integration and improvement of an LLM. Therefor I would not agree that "Apple is in a prime position to make strides in language model development on their hardware."

In my experience, "Correct" means "satisfies a specification". The specification is often about the final result, but it's not limited to it.

If it's legal, it means that somebody could write a model that could predict mergers pretty accurately and make a lot of money. For instance, by tracking flight patterns of C-suites executives, scanning car brands in parkings next to offices using satellite images, and analysing working hours of the staff (this can be done in multiple ways like sending e-mails to check of automated OOO responses or analysing the light coming out of the building from satellite images.)

Note to anyone who is unfamiliar:

Technically, this approach does not avoid passing the genetic mutation to the children you conceive. Each embryo still has a 50/50 chance of inheriting it.

Instead, the embryos that have the genetic mutation are discarded, and only the embryos without the mutation are implanted.

If you believe that directly ending a human life at any stage, including embryonic development, is immoral or morally problematic, this is probably not an approach you would feel comfortable taking.
>If I was a member of such a high-risk group, I don't think I would be putting my faith in this org to produce something I can actually consider truly secure.

If I were in such a high-risk group, I wouldn't be putting my "faith" in anyone. Rather, I'd personally make damn sure my sensitive communications couldn't be spied upon.

I'd also point out that repressive/authoritarian regimes don't care about the rule of law and/or personal privacy, so they can just come to your house and take you away without any proof that you're working against the state.

What's more, they can also confiscate any systems/devices you (or others) may have in an attempt to discover the identities of your "co-conspirators." And they can torture you to give up those names, even if the names you give up aren't actually involved at all.

You seem to believe that there's some sort of magical software that can keep someone safe if a government or well-funded private actor wants to get you. News flash: there is no such animal.
The Globe and Mail leans Conservative. It's basically Canada's WSJ.

I'm kind of curious whether it was the Cons who leaked it or someone in the CSIS (some analyst did the same thing a couple months back about an ongoing investigation into Chinese interference)

It just doesn't seem like something Trudeau's Cabinet would want to leak, as you win 100% of the controversies you never participate in.
Like you said, Meraki got better because the core team, including engineering and sales as well as the founders, stuck around for about two years. Things did go significantly downhill once the founders left but by that point the company was already so successful that the exodus of great people that followed their departure probably didn't even impact their bottom line that much. I will say that I personally found working for a Cisco subsidiary pretty terrible relative to working for a startup but, hey, the checks cleared.
The pattern of "one request yields multiple kinds of responses" is challenging. You're basically looking at either having the client ask for the results and get them back, and then send the results to backend to get back the summary, OR, you're setting up some sort of sockets/server-sent-events thing where the frontend request establishes a connection and subscribes, while the backend sends back different sorts of "response events" as they become available.
And, additionally, raycasting should just work in a good game engine. “You don’t need raycasting” is a seriously weak argument.
That's absolutely not all software.
It becomes public information when shared with the public, unintentionally or not. The specific kinds of relationships involved are a big deal. It’s fine to tell a waitress you closed a huge deal and she can even trade on it, but tell your wife and she can’t trade stocks on that information.

“insiders must be breaching a fiduciary duty owed to their corporation when they trade on or tip confidential corporate information. This stipulation almost always means that an insider cannot trade on such information and cannot tip others about it if the insider stands to gain by doing so. https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/when-is-it-legal-to-trad...

In the case where an unrelated outsider overhears the information that’s public disclosure. And the information no longer needs to be treated by random people as non-public.
These are so easy to track and find out. Whoever did this, either doesn't knows about insider trading laws or is stupid enough to think they can outsmart SEC. SEC would make a good example of this person, whoever they are.

That API is junk and I think requires auth now or something. I was messing with it some months ago and was surprised after a month the system changed.
> I’m sick of some outliers discounting something that works as a whole

Whatever. I’m sick of the disinterested majority pretending real problems don’t exist and actively working against systems that would help more people, more fairly, because they’re not willing to use their imagination and compassion.

Your use of hunter-gather societies is a distraction. We don’t need to lean on poorly understood histories when we have contemporary examples to work with.

Also, “nuclear/extended” is two distinct categories, not one. And “polygamous” is a subset of polyamorous and carries some unhealthy ultra-patriarchal connotations and assumptions (I mean, I’m making some assumptions about what you mean).
All people are not likely to die within a decade, but many more will die as a result of climate change than would have if we could stop climate change now. That effect is already happening.

A fun anecdote from those “security questions”

I bought pet insurance at one point for a dog and now I regularly get quizzed on pet names when I get those questions. It will be things like “have you ever owned a pet by the name of a b c” and the answers are absurd because they are pet names.

How the dream of air conditioning turned into the dark future of climate change

To the best of my knowledge, Klaviyo is more focused on e-commerce and Attentive more on e-commerce but especially SMS. I'm not familiar enough with their platforms to give a point-by-point comparison, but we're focused on the needs of our users within SaaS. If a customer needs a thing, we're going to work with them to understand it and build it for them. I think if we follow that compass long enough we'll end up differentiated quite a bit.
So basically, it would work like in every other industry? FOSS, for all the good it does, it also did break the economics of software.

IQ being public might be problematic; I've heard from more than one lawyer that one ought-not use IQ as a hiring filter, unless you have evidence that the IQ test is not biased against any protected groups.

Indeed, hiring from more selective universities is, to a certain degree, a way of laundering hiring based off of IQ, since you can pass the buck to the university itself to not be racially biased.

Ask HN: Anyone Selling on Intellij Marketplace?
Hi all, today I've noticed for the first time that Intellij supports paid IDE plugins from external developers on their marketplace, they take only a 15% cut and already support recurring subscription.

There are just a few plugins but they have a good number of downloads, nothing huge, but considering that plugins seems to be sold mainly through subscription it could be an interesting side income stream.

Does anyone sell something on the marketplace, or know someone that does, and want to share their experience with it?

I switched from a standard split ergo keyboard to a split orthographic with curved rows (Glove80 specifically). I'm still questioning my move. I was pretty damn fast with the standard split, and I'm still struggling with special characters on the Glove80. It feels like it's coming though, and at least it's fun. And perhaps it will reduce wrist and finger strain as I get older.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but diablo 4 doesn't look that much better to my eyes than diablo 3 did. I'm sure the textures are higher resolution and so on, but 5 minutes in I don't notice or care. Its how the game plays that matters, and that has almost never been hardware limited.

That said, I'm really looking forward to the day we can embed LLMs and generative AI into video games for like world generation & dialog. I can't wait to play games where on startup, the game generates truly unique cities for me to explore filled with fictional characters. I want to wander around unique worlds and talk - using natural language - with the people who populate them.

I'm giddy with excitement over the amazing things video games can bring in the next few years. I feel like a kid again looking forward to christmas.

"but there are almost certainly ways to optimize this problem."

Sure, I optimize what I can. But there is only so much I can do, without hurting the core game mechanic. Which is a arcade shooter, but also a hacker game, where you program your bots. So the bots are mostly limited to radar distance information by design, to work out their position in the world and what to do next (but to make this work with many bots, I already had to cheat a lot).

And it is unreleased, in case you are wondering .. but I hope to ship an alpha, soon. So it already works and it is fun. So I won't change core functionality, but I am still optimizing wherever I can. 3 months ago, it would only run on gaming hardware. Now medium mobile phones (a big market) are within reach.

DuckDuckGo CEO testifies Google contracts limited its search distribution
All of that sounds very impressive, I won't deny the effort that goes into making that from scratch. My point is that most of this also exists elsewhere, in non-Docker alternative implementations (like Lima + Podman).

For most businesses looking at something like this, they will either want a comprehensive support contract or comprehensive ownership. Orbstack will struggle here, especially considering how it has basically nothing to do with the deployed product at most companies. You're not going to run production on Orbstack, so the value of it is pretty dubious relative to even a bad product like Docker Desktop.

I swear I'm not trying to be too harsh here, I used Docker Desktop on Mac at my last job too. My team was researching alternatives to it, and given what we were looking at I don't think Orbstack would be compelling. The FOSS alternatives worked just fine for testing and development.

But Sears gave Donald Rumsfeld a lifetime discount card. Which brings us to the major government subsidy of US airlines. People work for airlines at reduced wages to have available very great discounts on their personal travel, totally untaxed. Live wherever you want, and commute on the airline! Second major subsidy is that people who pay or have their employers pay for airline tickets as deductible business expenses manage to use their kickbacks (free flights for repeat customers) for personal travel untaxed. Eliminate those subsidies and watch what happens.
