Quest 2 was underrated one of the best deals in tech in recent history. Easily worth the $300.

I got way more enjoyment out of it than I ever expected as a casual gamer. Replaying Resident Evil 4 + the various workout apps like boxing made it worth the price. But I got much more.

The beta app store offers a TON of free games still in dev too. https://sidequestvr.com/apps/applab/0/rating
Are you on Firefox? It worked in Edge and Chrome but not Firefox, my main browser. I posted about it on X to OpenAI and then it started working. They may have fixed it or it was was some other problem.
In my experience, years of professional experience != Seniority

You could have been for 18years in a company where you were the senior just because you were the only one who knew how the old monolite work.
You could have been for 18years in a company without knowing more than what you were just doing.
This just to say that the seniority it's not something you obtain with your years but with the experiences and situations you find yourself in and especially what do you learn from them.
> sales is going to miss quota

This is why I can’t take sales, as an organization, seriously.

I mean, I get it. I get how and why. Capitalism. Stock prices. Salaries. But there’s such an inhumanity to deciding upon some number and then making decisions based on that number even if they’re dumb.

Decisionmaking reduced to “I’m going miss quota!” I guess this is their own story point hell.
> +/÷≢ is not pronounceable as a single word, even among APL experts ("add reduce divide tally" is not a word

I’m not entirely certain most programs will ever be pronounced.

> What is wrong with this?
average := add reduce divide tally

Nothing, but but it seems to imply that this:
average := +/÷≢

… nicely resolves this issue of wanting to use words — AKA sequences of pronounceable but semantically meaningless glyphs —- as human-friendly (at least for English-fluent humans) mnemonics for programs — AKA sequences of not-muscle-memory-pronounceable but semantically meaningful glyphs), yeah?

Mind you I haven’t looked at the language deeply enough to know you can actually define an alias like that.
I used to have this problem, thinking I just can't get accurate in FPS's. Then I read that your mouse sensitivity should generally be around 30-60 cm movement to do a 360 rotation.

Mine was more in the area of 5-10 cm for a single rotation (so that I could use just my wrist for movements), which is almost impossible to properly aim with.

The idea is to do movements with your whole arm and micro-adjustments with your wrist. It's annoying and weird at first, but after getting used to it your accuracy gets an order of magnitude better.

Not sure if that's your case, but thought I'd share if others had this problem.
Yes, I’m sure all the artists, writers and knowledge workers are going to be soooo happy to be liberated from their work that they’ve spent a lifetime training for.

Automation can be great when used to replace dangerous or back breaking work that is difficult for humans to preform. AI is not really that though.
It is about time a creator respects The Commons in the AI era. Their mind did not grow in a vacuum -- they read billboards, handbills, novels from the public library, books passed to them in high school English class and so on. All of us build sentences out of words that precede us and have evolved and been shared for millennia. This interplay and exchange continues in the AI age. To shout "theft" is to dream and cement the path toward a "pay per thought" society. If there is ever to be venal economic exchange for AI produce, levy it upon model outputs, never on its fair use inputs. Otherwise, be honest and demand that we all ought to pay whenever we read a stop sign, or pay whenever we are forced to hear a song we absolutely hate when walking along a storefront.
It sounds like you and your wife don't trust each other, which makes me wonder why on earth your married in the first place
That's a remarkably sad, pathetic outlook, and one strangely contorted by Capitalism: Why do you want money?

That's the key here. Most people want money because, contrary to the old adage, money buys happiness. People want friends for the same reason: friends are the people who you are happy to spend time with. Pretty much any activity can be made more enjoyable when done with people you enjoy spending time with.
Your accusation of pedantry, under the circumstances, is comical. Talk about 'isn't a good look'.

I think it's useless for big companies, but for smaller ones you might be able to get something from them.

Look for a bunch of positive reviews that sound straight from corporate. This means the company paid for those (red flag).

Look for a trend in negative reviews that goes beyond the 'I hate my boss' reviews.

My personal experience with smaller companies I worked for is that they are accurate.
Many people are just don’t get that theses models are going to be integrated in all sorts of everyday stuff.

Questioning whether all this tech innovation should be shared with authoritaria regimes is a damn valid question to be asked and often as possible.
Alignment is also a distraction, its OpenAI marketing and something people who don't understand ML talk about, not a serious topic.

Like I said, discussing model politics have a place but bringing it up every time a model is mentioned is distracting and prevents adult discussion. It would be like if every time a company comes up, the thread gets spammed with discussion about the worst thing that company has ever done instead of discussing it in context.
Yes, which is why the Yet Another Standard approach is so mystifying. Bitwig is surely aware that AAF has wide support and could easily be extended to support everything they want to do.

The “passion” goes beyond this specific issue. Child abuse specialist doctors have come to some sketchy conclusions, only to have the system cover for them.

Part of the issue is they exist in several systems simultaneously: medical system, child-welfare system, and criminal justice system.

Are they there to cure disease, ensure the child had a safe home environment, or put an abuser in prison. Answer: all of the above.

Here’s a good example:

The other thing to remember is that a Senior Developer isn't just a moniker for the best of the developers, it's a different job.

I'm surprised you're not already aware that this is already the norm. The number of cc style cameras in London alone should give you pause.

If we're already dealing with ubiquitous recording in public, I'd rather give some of that power back to individuals rather than the government.
On the hand they are still analyzing "the fault", but on the other hand they deem an external attack to be unlikely. Maybe they are in denial?
With the macro lens mode on iPhones now, you can take a video of what’s directly in front of you while pointing the camera at a downward angle. There’s no way to tell a person doing that apart from a person who’s texting, other than looking at their screen.

> You need way more than mere primitives to get upto any useful level of knowledge in a given lifetime.

That is just because "useful level of knowledge" is required to participate in society as I want to - most low-hanging fruit has already been collected. If you're at the frontier, you're immediately productive.

> In other words:

Sorry, I phrased a little incorrectly. It's more like Filter(Mutate(AmbientCulture)), that is, I selectively copy or mutate everything I see into stuff that gets accepted by the audit, after which it is my knowledge. (Mutate creates some modifications of memes as I am able, and Filter removes unsuitable ones; but computationally it is probably a one-stage directed process.) I would call it knowledge state, not "identity state", my identity is immutable too. Yes, preferences are immutable; preferences = identity.

> You argue that if ...

If I understand you well, your criticism is that I use momentary artifacts created in dependency on a given environment to establish identity independent of environment.

> the following will not remain true ("create functionally similar designs") due to changes/updates in the common good

Culture changes continuously. A given distributed identity would create a needed design over time, at each moment relying only on the current state of its own work. (It follows that identities can be nested: an identity may create a meme that will be owned by any identities that contain that identity.) If the work is not synchronized across space, work may fork and diverge, but the differences would not be functionally significant in the end.

If something suppresses your work, you should defend against this, or you will be screwed too.

85 GB of free storage listed as minimum system requirement?

Granted, I haven't seriously played any major games for at least 10 years I'd say. My occasional playing is limited in time and scope and usually involves reliving some old titles... is this really a new normal? We're also not talking about a big MMORPG with an incredibly wide world... Counter Strike is still a FPS you play on small maps right?

(edit: I just rechecked to make sure it doesn't say 8.5 GB, which would have also seemed a lot to me... I'm really getting old)

Artificial ways the model is restricted are an absolutely relevant and important thing to discuss.
I used to be an FBA seller and made an exit via sale to private equity (i.e. an aggregator). The FTC will likely fail on all or most fronts imo. Amazon's price fixing helps consumers because they simply don't show you the product if it's not the best price on the web. FBA fees are not "profits" taken by Amazon because logistics is not a profit-center for their business. Copying successful third party sellers' products, as annoying as it is (it happened to me more than once), doesn't appear to break any laws. Advertising costs keep rising yes, but again, how is that illegal? At some point, there may be an opportunity for some young entrepreneurial minded person to create their own marketplace open to third party sellers and undercut Amazon's commission (currently 15pct in most categories) and have cheaper advertising costs due to lower competition. The reason why currently this is likely not viable is that FBA is still faster and cheaper than any other existing fulfillment service last I checked. The margin difference between lower commission+cheaper advertising vs more expensive (and slower) fulfillment is still - I believe - in Amazon's favor. FBA, by the way, is open to use even if you sell on your own website. The service is called Amazon MCF (multi channel fulfillment), but the cost and speed is not as good as real FBA. I often wondered what Amazon gains by offering MCF and can't help but think it has something to do with making the appearance of not being anti-competitive.
It used to be like that. These days I often see 1-3 person teams just copying around some terraform config they've had forever, and all of their AWS setup is done.
Sure, in a "Didn't the Americans claim they'd have self driving cars by now? One has to take their claims with a pinch of salt" sense.

Attributing particular people's claims to an entire country doesn't really make sense for the most part.
Massively different, from the size of the protests (Beijing was not the only city which was experiencing student protests) to the scale of the carnage, to the all-stops attempts to erase the memory of the event.

So for an LLM it's an interesting question about what comprises its training model. How massaged/edited/censored is the input data, in whose service is the cleansing being performed?
You don't need to convert to frequency, you can use fractional MIDI pitch values. E.g. 60.5 would be a quarter tone above middle C.

In fact, the VST2 and VST3 SDKs support microtonal offsets per note event (measured in cent). Unfortunately, only few plugins and hosts support it.
Then what? how many ? there is in Rust code?

High quality models, textures, animations and more takes a lot of space, like a lot a lot.

But, I just installed CS2 and I think it only downloaded about 20GB or so, that maybe decompresses to about 40GB in the end. Maybe someone else can verify what it ended up taking on disk?

>No, you aren't, nor are you the only one to give inappropriate weight to common tropes of some genre of fiction

I'm not the one giving it weight as I don't adhere to the rule in question. However, like I said elsewhere, if you aren't aware that occasionally life imitates art and art imitates life, and some people actually try to idiotically mimic the romcoms they watch, well you haven't been out much these days I guess.

Not to mention the person they were replying to literally had this happen to them.
Sadly $200k/yr does not go very far anymore, even in the midwest.
Not to be the devil's advocate here, but almost certainly it can be the case that data was used to define heuristics (potentially using automated statistical methods) that a engineer then formalized as code. Without that data that specific heuristic wouldn't exist, at least very likely not in that form. Yet that data does not have to be included in any open source release. And obviously you as a recipient of the release can modify the heuristic (or at least, you can modify the version that was codified), but you can not reconstruct it from the original data.

I know my example is not exactly what is happening here, but the two sound pretty affine to me and there seem to be a fairly blurry line dividing the two... so I would argue that where "this must be included in a open source release" ends and "this does not need to be included in a open source release" starts is not always so cut and dry.

(A variant of this, that happens fairly frequently, is when you find a commit that says something along the lines of "this change was made because it made an internal, non-public workload X% faster"; if the data that measurement is based upon did not exist, or if the workload itself didn't exist, that change wouldn't have been made, or maybe it would have been made differently... so again you end up with logic due to data that is not in the open source release)

If we want to go one step further, we could even ask: what about static assets (e.g. images, photographs, other datasets, etc.) included in a open-source release... maybe I'm dead wrong here, but I have never heard that such assets must themselves be "reproducible from source" (what even is, in this context, the "source" of a photograph?).

That being said, I sure wish the training data used for all of these models was available to everyone...
The Canadian federal government owns 18600 acres (9600 of which is currently not being used as a park) of land not too far from Toronto. [0] It was originally expropriated for an airport that will never be built. I’ve always thought it would be an interesting place to build up a town.

There’s not a lot of contiguous land that they own that’s cleared for development, local to some major nearby cities, connected to the road network, has a rail line going thru it, and has had the tough job of expropriation done decades ago by a long forgotten administration.

The argument is that many people go through the hassle of contact lenses as to not have to wear things on their face.

The bigger problem is that most of reality is just not that interesting. We are already well passed the marginal utility of additional photos/video.

This is a good answer although I think someone with this ability is approaching the level of lead. It's an ideal senior, but many seniors don't demonstrate all of these qualities.

I've been meaning to write a blog post on "what if developers were paid the same way as writers and other creatives", namely residuals. I think it becoming the norm for signing away your IP rights for employment is wrong, and other creatives would never do that without ongoing compensation.

If Deno only suits hobbyist programmers, it's failed. To pick up steam it's going to have to pull people away from AWS and Google who already know how to use them.

Tell HN: Please don't print –-help to stderr in your CLI tools
Imagine you get a lengthy help description which then you pipe to less.. and you only get (END) in your terminal. Turns out the author decided to print help message to stderr instead of stdout.

Wasn't it easier to create new genres back when there weren't many yet? In the 80s you were lucky to get hundreds of games a decade. Now we get that in a week. But there are still many innovative indie games.

The sequels still sometimes offer cool things. BG3 is a very big change from BG2, as much as Divinity Original Sin is different from Divinity 2. It's not like the Calls of Duty.

But granted, that's an exception. Diablo 4 is a soulless cash grab. Payday 3 was a bust.

But there are still plenty of innovative games these days that create new or hybrid genres. Bridge Constructor. Portal. Slay the Spire. Frostpunk. Guitar Hero. Dead Cell. Firewatch. Braid. Human Fall Flat. Among Us. Superhot. Stanley Parable. Viewfinder. Rocket League. Surgeon Simulator. Overcooked. Soooo much more...
