Of course it is strengthening competition.

Playstation has tons of exclusive titles. By one estimate, 4x as many as Xbox [1].

How is that a fair playing field?

I'm personally totally in favor of ending exclusivity entirely for all consoles. (What gamer wouldn't be?) But as long as Sony is playing that game, Microsoft is simply trying to level the playing field here, to make Xbox more competitive against PS.

That's what more competition is.

> Either [serving the king or the peasant] can reward you, as long as you do it well.

Correct! But this is a function of the wealth distribution. If it's not too lopsided, chasing volume is a good strategy. In some markets, it still is, and that's great! However, the more lopsided the wealth distribution gets, the more it looks like a palace economy where a rational actor should ignore the masses and spend every waking breath figuring out how to get in the good graces of the nobility.

> The purpose of capitalism is to allocate resources efficiently

Efficiently according to whom? For what purpose? We circle right back to the definition of economic value and how it's wealth-weighted: if everyone has roughly equal wealth, they get weighted roughly equally in the efficiency calculation and the economic definition of efficiency roughly matches the colloquial definition. However, if Mt. Olympus has all the weight, "efficient" means "efficient at extracting tribute from the plebs."

The wealth distribution is getting more and more lopsided every day. This has consequences.

The security industry has perverse incentives, and from what I have seen, these bounty systems which have been pushed for in recent years have made it worse. Not only do we have more of an incentive for these bogus security events, which waste real engineering hours across the economy thanks to automated systems, but we also now see researchers campaigning publicly against companies when their bounty is denied for this sort of thing. Just a total waste of time and effort, which creates a boy-who-cried-wolf mentality amongst the engineers fixing these issues whenever a breathless researcher shows up with a new "CRITICAL" vulnerability.
No the whole purpose of these “hashes” is that they’re robust to that. The attack model they’re designed for is image manipulation to avoid the hash match, not manipulating manipulating images to trigger the hash.

In fact, I would reverse SaaS entirely: make it Service as a Software instead. That is to say, provide the service you want manually for the customer (as much as is possible, as it is not always possible), then build software to automate that process.

When DoorDash first started, they manually took orders and delivered them to people, over the phone. They'd get an order from their customer, then they'd order it from the restaurant, then drive over to pick up and deliver them. Then, they built the driver network software, mobile app, and all that.

>The Hungarian government - who presumably has access to the EU CSAM database (or can coerce those who do), might attempt to add a fingerprint of a manipulated CSAM image that collides with the fingerprint of the satirical image.

Then what? What does that achieve? There would be a huge spike in images identified as CSAM which would obviously throw up red flags. It seems like this would mostly just be headache for the law enforcement across the EU. It isn't like France is going to arrest a huge number of people without any investigation or thought of how this one CSAM image spread so far so quickly. And if we are talking about the result in Hungary, that government doesn't need this tool to abuse its power. Why go through all that effort? They could just do the equivalent of rubber-hose cryptanalysis.
Just pick up the nanopi r4s or r6s. Fairly small, but with nice specs and support in openwrt. The r6s isn't supported by openwrt 23.05 but you can get the friendly elec fork or get a community rebuild of openwrt with a later kernel that supports it. You'll get a router that can work at line speed (1Gb or 2.5Gb) even if you use features like SQM or wireguard.
> Is it just me or is Discord super unintuitive?

I'm always baffled when people say this. I understood Discord immediately and fail to understand why people are so confused by it.

You have a list of servers you're in on the far left, you click one, and you get a list of channels. Click the channel, and if it's a voice channel, you can now talk. If it's a text channel, it shows the channel and you can chat. Voice channels have a speaker icon that make it obvious it's a voice channel.

Some servers will initially hide all the channels except one where you need to click a reaction on some bot's message to acknowledge their rules.

The only thing that Discord screws up on, IMO, is the configuration of notifications. You've got your account-wide notifications, server notifications, channel notifications, and the handling of @everyone and @here. Getting the exact behavior you want is tricky sometimes.
Home automation itself is a gimmick! I think most people get into this stuff because it's fun, not because light bulbs and thermostats are too hard.

The point is a real CSAM image can be manipulated such that when hashed it matches the hash of the Orban image. So your phone calls the police saying you have CSAM when you get the Orban image. Your life is ruined and you're financially impacted trying to defend yourself. Even if you're cleared of charges you're fucked. This now has a chilling effect on sharing of the Orban image.

Orban's people won't face any pushback because they submitted an actual CSAM image. It's on you to prove somehow they intentionally poisoned the CSAM image such that its hash matches the Orban image.
Hi,

This is my first true open source contribution as I am relatively new in this field. Some parsers already exist for js even for clojure/script, but somehow they failed to parse complex formatting expressions (italic and bold at the same time), or they failed to parse large files.
I tried my best to solve these problems, and I would love to see that this work could help someone in the same need.

On my machine I am able to parse a 16mB file in approximately 4 seconds, small files are sub 4ms. I didn't try to optimize this yet, because I felt satisfied with this result.

I plan to use it in order to interface it with some other project I have concerning some front end component library.

Have a good day !

I graduated in the aughts, but at that point every single employer asked for the GPA if you were straight out of school.

Most places it was just a filter for interviews, so you could back-door in, but in other places it would gate hiring even if you got an interview some other way. One place I got an interview because I knew someone, and after a successful interview, they rejected me once they asked my GPA (their HR form required it to be filled in for anyone coming straight out of college).

Right, but where are those examples?

I'm of the opinion that Sony Entertainment paying for exclusivity deals with Square-Enix, is not remotely comparable to Microsoft buying a massive studio (Bethesda Softworks), with incredibly popular franchises (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom), and locking them to their platforms barely three years after.

I'm also old enough to remember how Microsoft essentially killed any chances of open standards in videogames with their DirectX API, a move with massive consequences to other platforms, so much so that even nowadays, your best chance to run games on Linux is to use a DirectX translator.

Bethesda has been consistently simplifying their games since Morrowind and I don't think they've ever had smooth launch.

The dystopian AI scenario that's the most realistic is one where a tiny number of elites and/or governments control massively powerful superintelligent AIs and use them to basically rule the world and enslave humanity.

That's precisely the scenario the AI doom crowd is pushing by advocating laws preventing anyone except governments and huge corporations from operating or researching AI.

Autonomous AI going "foom" and deciding out of all the possibilities open to it as a superintelligence to go to war against humanity is incredibly unlikely compared to numerous other existential risks confronting humanity. I wouldn't quite call it impossible as that's a strong word, but it's profoundly less plausible than climate change driven collapse, nuclear war, a beyond-Carrington level solar event, or some rando doing DIY genetic engineering and making a super-disease. Yet these idiots are advocating bans on matrix multiplication when you can buy the supplies to do CRISPR genetic modification at home off Amazon.

> The reason this doesn't happen for groceries is that starting a grocery store is very easy, if everyone increases grocery prices a competitor with lower prices will appear extremely quickly.

But a) it is not clear that this is, in fact, true at this point in time, and b) even if it is, "extremely quickly" is still going to be on the order of a year or two.

The reason I say (a) is because the existing grocery store chains are very large, and very willing to lower prices locally to prevent a competitor from getting an edge on them. They also have significant economies of scale that allow them to drop prices lower than a new local upstart could and still make at least some profit.

In short, the barriers to entry are high enough that a few months of raised prices aren't enough to cause a competitor to appear out of nowhere, and any would-be competitor would need to either have massive resiliency to outlast the incumbents undercutting them (again, locally, such that it wouldn't make a blip in the overall inflation numbers), or somehow start up enough locations all at once that such an undercutting attack would be less feasible and much more visible.
