This is amazing. It shows that a developer team from a triple-A publisher with billions of dollars at their disposal is just incompetent. The single-man team headed by HarvesteR and later some other devs that joined him were much more competent and it was an indie game.

Take2 killed the KSP franchise and they continue to do so. From less and less frequent updates (KSP2 has received only 3 "major" patches since it was released in February, taking 2 months between updates), to useless hotfixes that take a week to be deployed to fix just a single bug, to them taking 6 months to try to find out the reason the rockets are wobbly, to them releasing a game in Early Access which wasn't even ready for EA, it was an alpha prototype, completely broken down, and just trying to milk the franchise lovers for their $40 for an INCOMPLETE PROTOTYPE (which will be raised to $70 once the game leaves EA), I wish they just abandoned KSP2.

KSP1 with its modding community has produced so much and it's a much better game than its sequel. The charts don't lie, right now 1k players on KSP1, 67 on KSP2.

Now someone's going to tell me "this is not how game dev works". Well. They have billions at their disposal and a predatory publisher on their back. And their dev team consists of a lot of modders from the KSP community which I particularly don't blame them for not delivering, but Nate and the team that was poached from Star Theory by Take2 because the former didn't agree with the time frame Take2 gave them to release a working prototype, they are really incompetent.

They are "building the game from ground up" using the same engine as its predecessor and amazingly they came across the exact same bugs that KSP1 had fixed like 8 years ago. This is not even newbie game dev, it feels like they're just a bunch of people that just started to learn how to write software.

I have an opinionated website tracking their lies and deceptions (based on Web3 is Going Great), if anyone is interested: https://nokerbal.space
even a simple charging cable (apple lightning) used to charge iphones etc have a chip, so your device can read cable capabilities when connected and configure it for: power, audio, video, data. there's a great DEF CON 30 presenhacktion on this [1].

as parts/ports are ever-increasingly multi-functional (and more advanced), there needs to be regulations in place to ensure no lockdowns, or preferential treatment. Of course we need hardened security and privacy, but I think Software should be used to detect & notify of atypical/dubious device parts so the User can chose/decide - akin to an AntiVirus.

If certain level of security/safety is required (say gov device, Chief Execs, VIPs etc) then create an Industry Standard and let the OS report on device's Compliance. This way, the market (users) brock low-quality/nefarious tech, not a corporate.

To me, a good cover letter is about being actually motivated to apply to a specific job and then simply explaining why.

AI doesn’t help because if you can articulate your genuine motivation as a prompt for an AI, you should just use the prompt as the cover letter which will be a lot more effective than using the AI-generated letter, as the AI will muddy your authentic motivation and diminish its impact.
I had this happen with an applicant recently, where they fed our job description into ChatGPT to generate a cover letter which was very non-descript and flowery, quoting phrases from the job spec verbatim which made it sound rather insane.

Trying to give the candidate a chance, I asked them why they had a applied to the position in the hopes that they would write me a short answer about what piqued their interest. Alas they chose to use ChatGPT to generate that answer as well, hitting me with another wall of text of mindless bla bla bla.
> The sound is an internal meme where the linux devops would regularly have to drop off calls to talk (restart to unmute :)).

Hmmm once every full moon MS Teams running on ungoogled chrome do not seem to realize my Bose BT Headset is paired and available (and in that case I just use the internal soundcard) but I have seen people having sound issues on MS teams and needing to reboot regardless of the OS they were using. Windows, Linux, even some MacOS users so I wouldn't use that as a generalization.
I have DJI drone. It's very easy to fly, however there are all sorts of restrictions that exist in the software which are not in sync with local laws (which may be more liberal than what the software thinks), so your only option is to use sketchy means to actually use the drone.
In my 40s, I feel that I don't think as fast as I used, but I do a much better job at "deep thinking" and filtering out bad ideas, which leads to a higher percentage of useful things coming out of my mouth.

However, I think there is something to be said about the disruption angle; when you have experience, you could indeed miss a great disruptive idea due to the worldview you establish over the years. I think that younger people, despite their often-bad ideas, will from time to time have a great, disruptive idea that I'd filter out at this point in my life. That's why it is important, when you're young, to explore your novel ideas and take some risks by building or working at a startup.
Their threat model is more likely about GPS jamming or other more vanilla electronic warfare techniques.
Yeah, but we need to analyze picture as a whole. And by default, chroot is banned while running as root arbitrary stuff downloaded from the internets is not.
"but the written interview part (the part people seem to protest the most) I actually find quite useful."

Yeah, not taking advice from this fellow. Good writing doesn't necessarily make you a good software engineer (and vice versa). Save this garbage for college applications.

Exactly my experience. After 15 years, I became an apple fanboy in 15 days. I still do hate losing my muscle memory on some bash shortcuts, but I'd say it was very much worth it.
I loved the part where he was still with id; how he grew up, and how id came to be. The magic of that founding id games makes you wish you were a part of that group. After that, the Ion Storm stuff gives some context to the failure, which was interesting to read. But it becomes a bit more incoherent. Towards the end, post Ion Storm, it just feels like he's going through notes he wrote down, and you're reading them in a chronological order. All in all one of my favorite books, but the end was a bit of a drag.
Same thing, if the sandpaper has an over the top warranty for the product category then it's fine to use it.

Plus, as a user of the endproduct and not the engine, I am not keen of my installs getting tracked.

It has become quite normal to create device identifiers, some crazy people do it in the name of security even, but I resist this development where I can.
Yes, they are VMs
No, pointing out annoyances is not the point of the whole gig. It's constructive feedback and critique. There's definitely room for feedback on presentation, verbiage, etc. But grousing about a minor annoyance is pretty shallow even as nitpickery goes and has the tendency to eat up threads.

I just thought it was hard to see exactly what you disagreed with. Thanks for clarifying! I think it is better to talk more about the article instead of just "this article is bad, here is what I think instead" and just ignore the article afterwards. It is fine to give your point, but if you say the article is bad I want to know why.
AI can be used as a surveillance technology. But it isn't fundamentally one, there are many other applications.

You don't want your enemy to believe you are strong, when you are strong. You want them to think you are weak, when you are strong.

It is highly specious to mis-underestimate ones enemies. Western military planners are not mis-underestimating Russias' capabilities - that task is left to their media wing, to sell the public on yet more war debt.

The belief that Russia is weak serves to sell more weapons - it does not necessarily reflect the fact that Russia has held a majority of its elite units, in reserve, and is not - yet - fighting an all-out war.
When you have a sub 1% chance of getting an interview, asking for a cover letter or some kind of non trivial time comitment is just wrong.
IMHO a better approach would be to select lets say 10% of the candidates and ask only them.

I'm running Linux everyday and I really wouldn't recommend it for any serious audio stuff.

There is great audio software coming to Linux (Bitwig, Reaper, etc) which is great but the underlying infrastructure is a mess.

There are like 3-4 audio subsystems running, I never know which one is it, setting latency is wizardry and sometimes it doesn't run at all. It's usually fine when I run stuff like Spotify, VLC, or Youtube in Firefox, so for user-level audio, Linux is fine IMO. But when I run something where I care about latency and multichannel output, it's hit or miss. It runs fine one day and then I get no sound on another or distorted sound or sound playing at wrong speed and wrong pitch (yay, 44,1 vs 48).

Maybe it's the distros I'm using, maybe there are some that work better, but the UX isn't as great as with macOS. On Manjaro, update sometimes get audio notification removed from tray and I can't change volume using mouse or dedicated keys. Then I have to look for few hours for a solution only to have the same thing happen again three months later (same with brightness keys on laptop). On Ubuntu Studio with an external soundcard, I get randomly distorted sound or no sound at all. So it's easier to use some shitty onboard sound, great.

I like Linux, I use Linux daily, but sound on Linux is terrible. It's much better than it was, yes, but still terrible. For anything more than "play a song here", macOS is much better.
My guess is that the liability increase for mispacking the pills outweighs any incremental mail-order pill sales CVS generated with the program. With Amazon starting their program up, the ability to entice new customers is probably worth the risk to them.
And that’s a good thing? I’m not sure the benefits of containers would be worth disabling SIP.

Maybe for an automated test CI/CD running system (which is probably the main use-case), but not on anything that users would interact with.
> Don't you have to be fairly well off to invest the time to write a book?

Not necessarily, although I'm sure it helps. Quite a few writers started out by writing their book in between shifts of menial labour or just while they crashed on friends' couches. It's mostly about staying motivated to work on this thing that brings you no money while knowing that you could just give up and do a regular job instead. That's where most would fail while those who have a lot of money don't ever need to even consider it.
Apple tends to overcharge for repairs and even if not it’s better to have competition. The kit isn’t really practical for most people or repair shops, it’s probably mostly a PR stunt
> I've had aftermarket battery repairs swell up, which is a safety risk.

My friends at support had to deal with dozens of original Apple batteries that swelled up. And, contrary to what people may think, Apple doesn't consider a swollen battery a safety issue.[0] But, for certain models, they would replace it at no fee (although such support programs have ended IIRC).

I suggest you start by just getting plain podman running the docker.io/hello-world container to reduce the complexity and simplify debugging if anything goes wrong. It's been about a decade since I last touched windows but if wsl2 is 1:1 with Linux the official podman guide should be straight forward.

It's always easier to start with the bare minimum and build from there, and you will get a better understanding of the tools you're using.
This is such a classic UI programming bug, and almost every UI programming framework has a way to achieve this accidentally using core components. React is notorious for this, but even in non-declarative frameworks it's very easy to get a reactivity loop on a trigger or model update and do this.
Elderly people have a hard time dosing multiple to many medications, and some meds with narrow therapeutic-OD ranges need extra attention to avoid deadly mistakes.
> Am I alone?

Yes.

> I really want to work with local pharmacies on something like this

Local pharmacies don't want to work with you and really don't want an initiative like amazon's one to exist.

Amazon usually take advantage of large scale economy to get profits off optimized costs. Local pharmacies just apply a markup to get their profit.
I don’t think we can see the player numbers, but the number of people following D4 twitch streams has decreased by over 99% since launch. A lot of people played it - but almost everyone who played it has stopped playing it.

Personally I get it. I found D4 to be a fun, but bland and uninspired arpg. It has terrible class balance and skill balance. Despite a lot of promises, there’s almost no endgame to speak of. And there are basically no new ideas in D4 that weren’t already pioneered in D3 or path of exile. The art and music is beautiful, and the first few hours are definitely fun. But it’s not excellent by any means. It’s a bland, uninspired game lacking the depth, creativity and longevity that used to make blizzard games great.
>There is no “fallout free” EMP.

False. There are non-Nuclear EMP's, and the USA even has a bit of experience with the Russian variants ..
It does. All communication technology is surveillance technology.
> Not sure about this take. You need data at the end of the day, to
build good AI models.

I don't think she is saying that AI is predicated on surveillance as a
source of training data (although that does happen in a few
cases). She seems to be saying that surveillance is the primary use
case for AI.

Actually I don't think that's true, consider manufacturing
robots. However, mass surveillance, a societal scourge and urgent
threat to democracy, does seem to be greatly enhanced by AI, so I
think this is a bit of worry take.

> These days it feels like anyone's public takes are more or less just
a means to promote their own cause.

Wasn't it always true? Trivially all people advocate their beliefs,
with a few marginal exceptions like the guy who reads the weather
report.
After a quick glance over the site, it seems the system is fairly open, and they explain how they use the keys. The part on which I'm not clear is the app: is it not possible to build your own app that complies with their various interfaces, which would run on, say, a PC? Those seem to be documented.
Absolutely. While in an ideal world, everyone would love to land a job that perfectly aligns with their personal values and interests, the reality is different. The current market conditions are dictating a lot of our job search and choices in companies. A vast number of talented engineers are out of work due to circumstances beyond their control and applying for multiple jobs becomes less about passion and more about survival. While a personalized cover letter sounds great in theory, when you're trying to send out dozens of applications to ensure you can keep the lights on the idealism takes a backseat to practicality.
Two reasons I shy away from naming names:

1) There is no such thing as anonymity from state actors on the internet. Apart from anything else, semantic analysis can accurately indicate the identity of the writer of content - never mind the full take interception that has been a fact of life in the U.K. for over a decade now.

2) I really don’t want to bring the hellfire that rained on said friend down upon him once more, or upon myself. They crushed him like a damned insect. If I were to name him, you’d just say “oh, the pedophile. You can ignore anything he says, he’s a pedophile”. He is not, is anything but, and the “evidence” of his transgression that was presented doesn’t exist - the court transcripts from the incident in question show an entirely different picture from what the papers and prime minister threw at him. This made me acutely understand that the truth is entirely irrelevant, when you are up against the powers that manufacture reality.
Wouldn't recommend this to people prone to identity crises

That may work, but I can never for the life of me remember what on earth each flag was for.

Doesn't help that '-a' basically means 'all the flags', meaning you have to know them all to figure out what on earth it's doing. Or just hope it is enough.

I don't think this was planned.

This is purely down to C-suite's arrogance and moving into extraction mode. And not understanding their core audience. As Cory Doctorow said - enshittification.

Otherwise they would have released the 2nd update faster, since they would have prepped it beforehand to reduce the pressure and bad PR building up over multiple days.
The article is just relaying what someone said and not their own opinion, I guess, so they can get away with that

No, the hardware drivers are very polished and never give any problems. And the hardware itself is beautiful but I suspect wouldn't integrate as well with the OS if it were running Linux.

If an applicant can’t take the time to write a cover letter — and by “cover letter” I just mean an email that’s says here’s who I am and here’s what I like/do — why should the person hiring take the time to read what the applicant has copied and pasted to countless other employers?

I wasn't making any kind of comparison to petrol cars! I guess it seemed like I was and that explains the downvotes, perhaps?

All I was trying to do is add some support to the claim that battery density does matter in cars (contrary to ancestor assertion). Less weight = less strain on brakes and tires = less nasties in the air and our lungs.
You got it wrong. Star Theory didn't want to sell out to Take2. They realized Star Theory couldn't fulfill the totally-not-abusive-and-predatory deadline they wanted to release the game, so they said "ok" and tried to purchase the studio. They rejected the purchase, so they poached like 60% of their developers and employees instead, to a point that ST had to close doors because Take2 poached almost their entire work force.
> Yes, Ukraine is a democracy, but also one that still contains some unsavory elements

And you think getting rid of those 'unsavory elements', replacing them with an authoritarian, warmongering Putin led puppet government would be an improvement for the world?

What utter drivel.
Many white-era officers did serve in the Red Army; including Zhukov and his ex-boss Rokossovskij. Being a cadre in pre-revolution times wasn't the issue itself; willingness to sabotage their own country was.

Incidentally, the blunder in the 1941 in the Red Army was an issue of loyalty indeed. Navy didn't experience the same problem.
Is it just me that is really irritated by the missing apostrophe?

If the title is this illiterate then it's a very strong indicator that the rest of the article will be as well... and if it's that mangled I am not sure I can be bothered to read it. People tend to put more effort into the title than the main body, and if that little effort was given here where it matters most, it makes me suspect the rest will be horrible.
It doesn’t necessarily make you one, but it’s a darn good indicator.
That would be OK with me.
One candidate could read:

> they might have perfect grammar, but they’re incredibly boring, and they contain little or nothing from the candidate’s experience.

and walk away with the impression that "perfect grammar gives you penalties".

Another candidate might have interpreted it differently.

Guess which candidate will get hired.
I use MacOS and am very positive about it. I have lots of reasons to run Linux containers. What are some reasons I might want to run a MacOS container?
Jet engine intake is basically a giant vacuum cleaner... and the jet engine itself can be destroyed by a small debris like small stones etc which is plentiful around any kind of a road. And a damaged jet engine is kinda bad news on takeoff, especially if there's only one to begin with.

A-10's high mounted jet engines are up there for a reason. It can operate from almost anything resembling a runway.
You can do this in a few ways, depending on what exactly you want to do:

1. Using period reporting feature (`-p`):

hledger bse -p "yearly from 2019-04" --depth=2 --layout=bare -e 2022-04-01 -X₹

2. Separating journals into April 1 – March 31 financial years.

3. Using `-b` and `-e` to demarcate begin and end dates when generating reports.

Are you referring to this book in particular or her writing in general?
Are you returning that judgement as a function of the submission title (which apparently rewrites between «gossip» and attention calling an original note, «AI is a way, I think, to entrench and expand the surveillance business model»), of Coldewey's summary of the interview, of the interview itself ( https://youtu.be/amNriUZNP8w ), of the paper that is the occasion for the interview

Whittaker's point is about a certain cone of issues. Her position was previously exposed at least at https://slate.com/technology/2023/05/meredith-whittaker-inte...
So far I observed two-three things about computing in regard to human experience:

- it removes stimuli (you move less, you touch less)

- it removes cost (undo is near free, unlike erasing on paper)

- it offers too much distraction / choice

I really feel that my brain loves (deeply) having to deal with multiple sensory inputs and making sense of them from physical to conceptual. Maybe that's why having tools "too powerful" is detrimental somehow.

Just a thought
Would love a system that analyses my shell command usage and recommend when I should link commands I often use in series and turn them into one line.

It’s more than just frequency analysis because it helps to remember what commands happened before or after. It also needs to be smart about when two commands are actually “the same thing” but with different flags or input filenames.

Maybe something like an N-gram model.
This is where the F35's VTOL becomes handy. If you had a few jets stashed away or survived the attack on an airbase, they just take off vertically.
