Automation helps every day. Farms are becoming more and more automated for one, truly reducing human workload.

This is so pessimistic. You can look to a million places to see how tech and automation improves every day.

I don't follow why you'd want AI's emulating humans to be illegal. If you approve your likeness being emulated, go for it. Obviously unapproved copying/deepfakes are bad but that's not this. I'd love to have my own digital clone.

Is it private? I think a lot of people put videos up because they want it to be public. The expectation was for the creators not to pay hosting/storage/processing fees because Youtube will add ads when the video is playing. I choose not to see ads then it’s Youtube loss. They can’t decide what I do with data on my computer. It’s their rights not to send me data, but not to say what I choose to do with it. Imagine buying a bluray and they told you to watch it twice a week at least or the data will get scrambled.

pay who 200€? in Germany? just the notary fee is in the hundreds and you probably need a lawyer and an accountant for a UG/GmbH. I’m trying this now with a new venture. Already have an accountant. But they’re slow and nonresponsive. I tried shopping around and literally got turned down left and right with these types of messages: “Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to take on any new clients at the moment.”

Lawyers can’t seem to advise on tax issues or how to best structure your business(es). Tax advisors cannot seem to actually create a company. It’s a total mess. At least for anything nontrivial and for me as a non-German.

I thought maybe Estonia or someplace else in Europe, but the tax rules are such that if your center of operation is in Germany, you still need to do taxes here.

If anyone has tips or good contacts (accountants lawyers etc), I’d love to hear.
> Tom Cruise finished filming Top Gun: Maverick years ago, but people are still streaming, renting, and purchasing that movie bringing in massive profit for the studio.

This is also true of the original Top Gun, released ~37 years ago. Very little software has that kind of long-term earning power, further supporting the idea that software work is not all that unique as work goes.
> My only thought is that they figure they can make more with low-risk investments than they can hiring employees.

That is exactly what is going on. A lot of people don't understand that if your risky business can't make as much return as the "risk free return rate" (i.e. the rate of return on US Treasuries), the only logical thing to do (as a business owner) is close up shop, as all your hard work is earning LESS money than just dumping it in CDs.

When the risk-free rate was essentially zero, or in some cases negative, people would throw around money all over the place in hopes of getting some positive return. The bar has just been raised so that is no longer the case.

Apple is always "the hot girl in the relationship". They are giving you the opportunity to be a supplier to apple, with massive volume, and they expect cut-throat pricing, a high level of QC (no chinese factory fuck-fuck games with "impromptu cost reduction"), and absolute supply-chain reliability. It is just like Walmart and Costco, they are big enough that they can dictate the terms of the relationship, and they do so aggressively. And just like walmart, in the long term this can mean that you have a single monopsony buyer who dominates your business and can ratchet you down even more over time.

goldman didn't realize what they were getting into here, they figured they could put one over on Tim Apple and no, the fruit company always comes out on top.

on top of that, apple really also kinda has a track record of using their market power to go to bat for consumers (app review/permissioning being one example, also user-privacy on MDM'd apple devices in the quasi-workplace being a focus, etc). And in this case they set up a bunch of terms that tend to reduce the fee stream that CC providers normally extract, pay the rewards daily, etc. Apple undoubtedly knew exactly what they were negotiating for etc, and goldman didn't realize how much those things were going to cost them (in lost fees).

So yeah, goldman thought they were the big man on campus and apple took them to the cleaners.

If you program an FPGA using the same HDL that was used to manufacture the original system then sure, it will behave identically (at least to the extent permitted by the laws of physics). However, if you are reverse engineering the chips and replicating the HDL without being able to peek at their actual circuitry, it is no different from doing the same in a pure software emulator from an accuracy standpoint. The only advantage of FPGA-based emulation in this case is that it can interface in real time with no latency to physical hardware such as game cartridges containing additional CPUs and whatnot - useful for consoles like the SNES, but such cartridges were not really a thing on the N64.

The biggest lesson I took away from all of these hype cycles is how unpredictable they are in their arc. Some trends like AV seem like they were going to take over the world, but they died down as quickly as they rose when we realize how hard safety is.

VR seem like it was dead with Google Glasses and Meta. But recent releases show that the [vision of VR is more real than I thought](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVYrJJNdrEg). Apple releasing their VR definitely provides more legitimacy to the idea.

Technology is always hard to actually implement in the real world. I think have expectations that the world would flip over with new innovations in a matter of months. But it actually takes years of hard work to get people to adopt it. The internet and mobile phones are good examples where the promise was clear but the journey being universally adopted was not easy. *

* For the internet, you have the massive struggle of web standards, getting implementations web browser to align, and achieving acceptable performance. Internet Explorer still haunts the dreams of many web devs. It's remarkable how many fully featured web apps there are like Onshape and Google Maps.

* For mobile phones, they require a massive amount of technology investment and unit economics to get the price cheap enough for normal people. It's amazing how wireless technology gotten to the point where we can stream videos on phones.

Nah, the AI bubble is still inflating. In fact some of this is probably skills shifting- laying off people with no AI experience so you can hire people with AI experience. The problem is that the supply of people with AI experience is still quite limited.
No DLSS or ray tracing. Those might work if I imported the game into Steam; the it would use the Steam settings where I think they do work, from what I've heard. But I don't care that much about DLSS or ray tracing.

Otherwise, I think I've got the highest graphics settings, though I haven't checked them.

Keeping work/private life separate is reason enough to me (also, we don't use Github - we use bitbucket - the decision was made for me!)

Ultimately, I think having work-specific accounts is preferable, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of IT departments also prefer this (however, this is also coming from the medical space, where controls are rather tight and security is extremely important and heavily audited)
I am not sure what is the point you are trying to make, had LeBron James and Tom Cruise made a choice to join a union? Was the not joining an option for either of them? From what I know you cannot play in NBA nor you can play in Hollywood w/o being a union member. From what I can imagine each of them would do much better w/o being a union member if they are as good as you described them.
The people who said history is over basically retracted their claims. This stuff comes from the eternal human desire for money and power.

Meta wants to attract kids and new users. We've always had vapid, attractive stars. There's no grand conspiracy for anything, except for packing the US court system with conservative judges, that's out in the open.
Yeah, agreed. My comment should really have been, "I'm glad modern ISAs are high level because low level ones would be a massive burden". And, "It isn't C's fault that low level ISAs are a massive burden".
From what I understand, a generation is the average length of time a species needs to successfully propagate. If we were to use the oldest known member of the species, a human generation would increase by four times.
I meant error "in the code".

A chunk of C that causes a signed overflow has an error in it. Seemingly, so does Rust code according to the behavior described in the post I was replying to.

My point is that I question how big is the value gain from having a predictable fallback when we are already within the realm of "this code is considered wrong". This isn't unlike the various arguments against the value of compiler warnings.

That being said, I agree that it's preferable in general, but the difference seems rather marginal to me. That is, within the context of what I'm replying to. I wouldn't be surprised if Rust had a few additional tricks up its sleeve to address this.
That's a common practice, but very foolish. If your employee is at all trustworthy they don't need to have their access revoked (and if they aren't trustworthy they'll just do the damage before they tell you they are leaving). So your org is robbing themselves of employee time without any actual benefit.
I don't think it nihilistic. The world changes; it changes rapidly; it changes dramatically. Successful businesses pivot, and as a result, often don't resemble the company that they used to be.

The end game of successful businesses is to become a conglomerate of sorts. Once a company owns enough brands/products across enough markets, they can shed the under-performers and expand into new segments and industries.

> Yes, this is how it works (which the article doesn't make especially clear). You add something to your 'steam wishlist' and steam e-mails you next time it goes on sale. As far as I'm aware, the wishlist has no other function.

And isn't that most of the point of adding to the wishlist?

> Of course, part of the reason this works is that a lot of sales are like 70% off - you'll get e-mailed when that $25 game on your wishlist is available for $7.50. There would be much less benefit to the consumer if they insisted on e-mailing me to tell me that $25 game had been discounted to $23.

Eh, that is true from what I gather for old games, but you can wishlist unreleased games so they send an email for the launch with 10% discount too or 25% a few months later (guessing with those numbers).

You mean the 3 large companies that tricked everyone into handing over their data and processing capability to the "cloud" have almost reached a point of diminishing returns due to the amount of processing they are trying to do on it?

Oh the humanity.

Oh well. Maybe stop post-processing everything?

I think it's time to design an open-source federated processing platform where we amortize costly processing tasks to large batches of devices. We have never had more powerful computers, and less control over code or data.

I pitched something like this to YC years ago. I guess I should have known better than trying to pitch a cloud computing alternative to a bunch of VC's who regularly tell people that infra is a liability. Maybe if I started my pitch with "rent a bunch of AWS services and..."
I'm inclined to suggest the typescript could make compile errors of ambiguous routes, though I don't see any obvious reasons way without an explicitly referenced agreggate type for existing routes. So perhaps not if routes are initialised implicitly like this.

Template type strings with inference would also allow you to parse the strings in the type system.

I cannot imagine wanting to build my routes table implicitly through import graph rather than having a specific place to aggregate.
You do realize the irony of your post, right? I use "the elite" broadly instead of targeting Bezos or Musk or Clinton or Trump because it is a collective phenomenon. If one member of the elite stumbles, another member of the elite will replace them.

The elite verifiably did get behind "the end of history" narrative, and their opinions matter because they have a global megaphone in the form of the mainstream media.

It's not some grand conspiracy of rich people plotting in a dark room. It is the common interest of an extremely influential class.
We've been asking this question since computers were invented. It'll be okay.

Though I generally agree with the sentiment, there are other limited but still useful things you can do, for example write() is allowed:

const char msg[] = "\ncaught signal, finishing..\n";
write(2, msg, sizeof(msg)); // 1 == stdout, 2 == stderr
> That said, the software ecosystem side of these devices feels like a near total disaster; I think it's a combination of legal concerns around copyright for ROMs, and the company's DNA. The amount of work to play, say Zelda on an Analogue Pocket, is akin to jailbreaking an Android phone, circa 2013. Lots of sdcard downloads, firmware checks, custom software tools, arcane paths through the OS software. I think they could afford to make a cleaner and easier software path.

Huh what? That's absolutely not true. I just went to https://github.com/spiritualized1997/openFPGA-GB-GBC and followed the instructions: All you have to do is copying files onto a microSD card. Custom tools are not needed. You can skip firmware checks (wcgw).

All my Gameboy ROMs play without any issues so far. Yes, you have to pay attention to put the files in the correct directories, but I wouldn't call that a "disaster".
These CEOs are not the brightest.
They are seeing their businesses being menaced by AI "stuff" and what they do? They cut on the powerhouse of change.

Well, to be honest I do not expect them to be that unaware of the situation. They will get their fat check and go away anyway.

This sounds awesome. I’m glad someone is running with this tech and not handcuffing it to a particular use case. Good luck!
I'm similarly curious. Designing for a higher stall speed permits smaller wing area, lower drag, and lower weight. The cost is that takeoffs and landings become troublesome.
That doesn't seem to be the sentiment here, though, does it? Useful to you, maybe.

Addendum: please tell us how many points YOU have on SO.
I side with you. On the other hand, there seems to be no business case left. You mentioned Wikipedia. I think that WP is highly profitable and even in the times of ChatGPT still is. And does not need such a high staff count.
For the same reason giving a 5 year old a calculator to "learn" addition doesn't teach them math. You still need to know why shit works in order to use it in a fully educated way. Otherwise you are just "putting magic words into the text editor" and your code will be held together with bailing wire and chewing gum.

For day-to-day use, as long as you know what the code is doing when you run it, its fine. But to get to the point where you understand what the code is doing, you have to have written code manually.
At first, I read that as Windows 1.1. I thought this was an old article.
The same reason the board never does anything to punish CEOs, even when they run the company into the ground. It's a good old boys network where the people on the board are themselves an executive somewhere else, and they want their own boards to take care of them.
ChatGPT generally solves stuff quicker and more precisely for me.

I have yet to receive a badge but could add that to the prompt or custom instructions as an alternative to its encouraging words when I'm nearly there.
OK, let's stop with the "censorship" nonsense:

1. There is no cabal of moderators waiting to censor posts. This is not Reddit. There is pretty much just dang as the primary admin.

2. Posts are just flagged by other users who feel it is off-topic, or not likely to lead to productive discussion.

I'm guessing that users who flagged this thought it was "not likely to lead to productive discussion". While I may not agree with that point of view, I certainly don't think it is some sort of "censorship".
Nothing against paying some taxes. But keep in mind that Germany is among the top ranking highest tax paying countries. And there are better "society functioning" countries than Germany, at much lower tax rate. Not every tax rate is fair. Some tax rates are unethically high b/c due to a overloaded govt. apparatus.
German here. Germany's economy is mainly based on

- 100y old inventions (automobile, chemistry).

- Then some more diverse set of so-called "hidden champions" (German name for world-leaders of some very special physical engineering products) which will sooner or later be fed to some US or Chinese companies.

- Some heavy industry which is currently leaving the country because of shenanigans in energy politics over the last two decades.

- Some of the dinosaurs the sibling comment already stated

- and finally lots of service businesses driven by MBAs and Legals who profit from the jungle German tax and law system is. They have zero interest in change and have been squeezing out the middle class in last 2-3 decades.

Germany is in recession right now as the only of the G7 countries. This is because the cheap Russian energy cannot cover the structural problems anymore but business, taxation and bureaucratic mentality is putting the whole country down. Can't recommend anymore.
You weren't trying to have a conversion. By your own admission, you were trying to "ruthlessly shame". If you think you can have conversations with people you are ruthlessly shaming, perhaps this interaction can demonstrate that those are radically different things.
Again with the casting in this thread. What parts are you imagining you can make this way? Modern small arms generally require quite good tolerances. If you aren't going for that (which you clearly aren't because you chose casting lol), just buy a pipe and move on.
