I guarantee you that the total profit generated from selling XBOX controllers is immaterial to Microsoft. Anyone with an ounce of understanding of hardware business models will tell you that this has nothing to do with selling more controllers.
This doesn't seem arbitrary at all? Like you said, it's used as an indicator.
This isn't really specific to Rust's type system, though. It's more related to the philosophy of the language and how the standard library is implemented. You could have the same behaviour in most other traditional programming languages.

Though, Rust's type system and syntactical features probably lend themselves to more ergonomic handling of the various error states.
It's just not that different from people seeing works and learning or being inspired, so how do you "ban AI" without adding more crazy DRM/DMCA stuff for legitimate use?

I don't personally find virtual meetings any more or less tiring than in-person ones. I think they're all pretty draining.
It absolutely can do. You're trying to force a very narrow view of a simple but broadly applicable concept.
>Is this good faith? I already stipulated that the images are publicly accessible. Are you suggesting that somehow artists should be able to block the AI from viewing a properly licensed instance of a copyrighted image? That pretty much results in a ban on general ai.

No it, results in a ban on general ai that doesn't compensate rights owners.
To me it reads better when it's presented as something we can do for individuals, rather than as a generic solution for society. I don't want to be forced to go to the office so that somebody else can have a friend. I have plenty of friends -- friends who I don't get to see when I'm compelled to commute and spend "core hours" elsewhere.

I'm prepared to give something of myself to help others. But I don't like the suspicion that this is yet another attempt to reinforce the previous status quo for a benefit that has little do with the ostensible problem.

We've been talking about lonely people for years, even when most of them went into the office. Remote work is an opportunity to do something different. Use your flexibility to find common interest groups rather than befriending the arbitrary set of people you happen to be crammed into a room with. There are lots of ways we can facilitate that.

That's a more interesting discussion than "let's do the same thing".
No, but if you disguise your criticism as sociological analysis while hiding under the rug the obvious parts of the analysis that wouldn't fit your narrative, then it's fair to say that's bad faith.
This is a very nice project/product. Congrats.

May I suggest having some premium themes in the paid plan as an incentive to upgrade?

Please do keep the option to build a customised theme in the self-hosted version, though. Some people might even want to contribute back to the project because of that.

I honestly cannot tell if this is a serious comment. I hope not.

I'm confused as to what this sentence means. The level of {the study/philosophy/science of law} has never been higher?
The royal family is rather an extreme example; they are classy as well as being powerful and wealthy. They royals are the epitome of aristocracy; people descended from kings and peers of the realm are a small minority of the upper class.

Sometimes classy people fall on hard times; so yes, they make their own breakfast. But they don't lose their class.

Flying coach is also an extreme example; anyone who can afford business class avoids flying sardine-grade. And it's mostly business people that zoom around in private jets; those denote wealth and power, not class.

You can "upgrade" your class, sometimes; a commission in a "good" army regiment can get you upgraded. They train their officers in how to behave in classy company. Public schools serve the same purpose, but are less effective.

I'm not familiar with the domestic arrangements of any upper-class people, so I can't give you examples you asked for. But for the most part, they're not famous, so you wouldn't have heard of them anyway; after all, famous people can trade their fame for wealth. I've known quite a few people of class who had to work for a living, e.g. as teachers.

[Edit] OK, well-known example: Princess Diana (Diana Spencer). Until she hitched up with the Prince of Wales, she was a nursery teacher, and lived in shared accomodation (i.e. no servants). Of course, she was never stuck for a penny or two; the Spencers are a wealthy, aristocratic family.
It's required on my team, but no other team in my company requires it.

macro controllers and AI controller inputs are a thing and are actually rampant in certain games.

Just look on youtube for some of the Street Fighter 6 cheat videos that have popped up in the last few weeks. Also if you play games like Apex, Valorant, etc, there are macro controllers that will not only perform movement tricks for you but will do things like correct aim for automatic fire drift/spread or even (on PC) home in on targets for perfect aim for you.

Cheat capability is cheap to buy these days and it's way more prevalent than you can imagine. It has basically killed off Escape from Tarkov already.

Very much so.

So much more relaxing when you don’t have the feeling of someone being inappropriately close to your face.
Who are you to tell us to not trust our eyes? When you're wrong at trivia, can you just claim "I meant [the right answer]"? If that's what you meant, perhaps you would have said it, but if you would had said it, it would have ruined your argument.

Simply put, you haven't made a convincing case that genetics, a science affecting all life, not just humans, is "not a credible science", despite indeed involving experiments all the time.

Below is where you can make that case.
I'm saying is that it's a problem companies created themselves, and are subjecting customers to increasingly dystopian measures in a futile attempt to manage it.

Pro gaming and casual gaming don't mix well. Cheating is a self-solving (or at least self-regulating) problem if you let people freely associate and host games. Cheating is only a big problem in competitive gaming, where there are rewards (status, monetary, or both) for moving up the global ranking. It still can be solved in context of pro-gaming, but it requires some invasive means.

The right approach would be to treat casual and pro gaming as separate experiences. Casual players play casually without invasive anti-cheating measures; pro players sign up for the league, which comes with extra restrictions. This is exactly how it used to work in the past, and exactly how any non-computer competition works: casuals and pro players may be playing the same game, but their goals are different, and so the rules and experience is different too.

Unfortunately, as it always happened, the industry decided to do the exact opposite of the right thing, and is now forcing all players to play by the competitive pro-gaming rules. With the game designed around pro gaming, causal players no longer have means to host and moderate their own servers in a social fashion, thus losing the natural, non-invasive method of combating cheaters. The addition of match-making further prevents the kind of grouping casual players prefer. As a result, casual players (which tend to be the majority) become exposed to competitive cheaters, which obviously makes the game extremely frustrating for the former. And to mitigate that, companies are employing invasive anti-cheating methods - methods that make sense when dealing with clubs and official matches, but are plain abusive and dystopian when employed remotely at scale.

Again, the right way to solve cheating is to keep casual gaming and pro gaming entirely separate - the same way playing soccer with your friends is an entirely separate activity from playing it professionally in a local team. Unfortunately, I think companies figured out that pro gamers are where the money is made, so they're willing to screw the majority of the players to streamline costs and hopefully create more wannabe-pros that can be monetized.
Other humans have always been doing exactly that with anything you published.
If it'll make them stop wasting more than that in people's lives forcing them back to work, it's a bargain.
It's unclear who in the USG is actually responsible for enforcing this, especially against those organizations that do send payments anyways.
I've been around long enough to know that it's the same as it ever was. I don't think it's a majority, or ever has been a majority, that engage in scamming behavior. I could be wrong about that, but I don't think the ground truth has fundamentally shifted.

But that the majority must still behave rightly paranoid that it is the majority in order to protect themselves from a really pretty small minority.
My experience has been that the powers that be generally won't give developers time to rewrite to meet changes in the requirements. Personally as I see it:

iterative development with time to rewrite > cathedral development > "iterative" development without time to rewrite

I think that most teams actually do "iterative development without time to rewrite" so cathedrals of complexity would actually be an improvement.
Yes, but the point is that all of these are implementation details of the runtime. From an application developer's point of view, Android executes architecture-independent DEX files.

All versions of Android keep the original DEX bytecode around to allow for later recompilation (JIT or AOT) and "later" can mean anything from "seconds after the APK was downloaded" to "during/after the next Android update" or "at any convenient time" (e.g. when the phone is charging and has nothing else to do).
Oh people older people who are unable to adapt to changing conditions.
I do not believe that Google would share anything if it was not required by law.

I heard there are other public community driven solutions, not necessarily search engines. For example marginalia search engine provides some domain data, but I think it was distributed as some sort of binary info.

I have developed myself an engine to scrap data, which is using beautiful soup. I export my data to a github repository, where it is available. All domains receive a page rating, based on their content. I believe that all pages should provide scrap-able title, description and a valid status code.

We as a community should produce scrapping open source standards, and implement them. People interested in open source and interoperability of the web should always provide that kind of data. It should not be hidden behind redirects, and javascript code.
It’s fair to say any traditional email provider will still struggle to prevent this ‘legit spam’.

From a comment in a previous similar project (I can't find it now), an easy method to defeat the predictor is to use 4 keys instead of 2. Instead of d and f, press s, d, f and e. The other keys are ignored by the program but the create enough confusion in your finger to make a more random sequence.
No but I can attest to my friend using Dante labs. Nebula and Dante as well as all others outsource the lab tests and buy"bulk vouchers". The privacy isn't an issue, Dante has been known to hire really bad labs that lose or mislabel data and latness is a problem. If you choose one for privacy, they'd be the best since they are the worst.

> knock on my door and wait for me to answer even though my instructions are clearly no contact

Wait: she DOES want them to leave the food "outside in the cold" (i.e., "no contact") and also DOESN'T want them leave the food "outside in the cold"? That would be a neat trick.

Yeah, there's a problem here, all right, but it doesn't lie where she's claiming it does.
My experience is usually the opposite to be honest. When I look on any forum or social network dedicated to an art form/creative form, it's usually the rich and successful saying how it's all about skill and how their hard work got them there, while it's the poorer, unsuccessful folks talking about luck.

This fits very well with the idea of a self serving bias, where people take credit for their successes and pass off their failures as the fault of external influences:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-serving_bias

Which makes sense to me. If you're successful, it must feel horrible to think about how you might not deserve your current status, and how so many equally talented/hard working folks failed miserably in similar circumstances. While if you're unsuccessful, thinking that maybe you just suck and deserve your situation must feel equally miserable.
The comparison with M2 is not very useful at this point. Throughout the presentation, the gains were something like 15-20% in some areas.

Even if they do their own chips, Apple cannot achieve a revolutionary performance gain year over year, that's why between two generations we'll see something like this for a long time. And since their idea is for people to be using Macs for many years, it makes sense to compare it to older generations to try and persuade people to do the upgrade.

There have been several games that match suspected cheaters with other suspected cheaters, and I've always thought that was a pretty good solution.
My perspective is there are two different main issues about AI (especially Stable Diffusion).

One is how it works consistently with the current law. Ml model is basically a highly lossy compressed data format. If you collect millions of copyrighted images, merge them into a super big image, then compress it into a .jpg. Are you allowed to redistribute this .jpg file?

To me, it's mostly depending on how lossy (low quality) your .jpg is.

(Note the fact that human brains are also lossy compressed data is completely irrelevant here: you can only compare machine to machine, algorithm to algorithm. You can't say if a human has right to do X, therefore a machine has the same right to do X.)

But this line of thinking, while consistent to me, is dangerous. Because it means open models like Stability Diffusion are more likely to be illegal than a closed one like MidJourney, since it's closer to the source materials. If closed models end up being legal but open models don't, it would be a big loss for our society as a whole.
Compared to H.264/AVC, you can get the same level of video quality in ~half the bandwidth (or double your quality for the same bandwidth).

Compared to H.265/HEVC, AV1 has no patents and so anyone can implement it without worrying about licensing (there seem to 3+ groups that need to be paid off).

The trade-off is that it is more computation intensive than H.264 (as is H.265).
Quite a lot actually. This codec is much more efficient at producing high quality video recording / streaming at much lower than normal bit rates when comparing to x264/5. Epos Vox has a good video describing the benefits: https://youtu.be/sUyiqvNvXiQ

as a native american myself, I have no recollection of anyone I know ever taking issue with this.

You’re missing my point entirely. It doesn’t. Thats what I’m saying there are plenty of things I can do, or learn to do, that I still hate. It doesn’t give me more value learning to do it myself because I just don’t care about somethings. It’s assumed and incorrectly so that this is some sort of shared natural way of being.

But that would mean Google would have to send some kind of signal to Google's servers that you're using Incognito.

Imagine the headline:

Chrome tells Google (and only Google) when you're using Incognito mode

I'd imagine people would be even more pissed that Google is making it detectable for themselves and not others and would accuse them of being anticompetitive, even if they used it to turn off tracking for those users. They certainly wouldn't be able to turn off tracking like that for users of Private/InPrivate browsing on other browsers.
Ads do not require pervasive and invasive tracking, or selling user data to the highest bidder
If you need multiple versions of something running simultaneously then ya lambda might be simpler.

In my experience, running a single monolith server will be much simpler than 20+ lambda "monoliths" that call each other. I think the simplicity of lambdas vs a persistent server looks good on paper but falls apart when you have multiple times more deployments to manage.

It's hardly a GenZ thing. If you don't have a rich social life, as unattached people in their 30s might not, you may feel this as well. Single people will have seen the shift when their friends get married.

Not everything is RTW propaganda. The example here is an account manager, aka someone whose job is to talk to people. HN'ers in their developer caves need not worry about this one applying to them.
Actually I think this is a good point: fundamentally an AI is forced to “color inside the lines”. It won’t tell you your business plan is stupid and walk away, which is a strong signal that is hard to ignore. So will this lead to people with more money than sense to do even more extravagantly stupid things than we’ve seen in the past, or is it basically just “Accenture-in-a-box”?
Sounds like it's epoxy time.

There's an incongruity between a "mechanistic" model of causality and how we actually live, and actually should live.

Your explanation is a good response to the posted experiment, but I don't think it's a good response to common sense, especially when we consider important (largely pragmatic) concepts like agency and responsibility.

I think most people in most places scale their responses based on to whom they're speaking. I grew up about in the greater metro area of a large northeastern city. Now I live across the river from said city, technically a different city but still part of its urban core.

In both cases when describing where I live to a local I use the actual location. When talking to someone further away I default to the city name. If they then express some reason why they may know the area a bit I zoom in to my location.
The transformation is complete. This place is the new Reddit.
That's a very deliberate misrepresentation and oversimplification.

China is very much anti-Muslim because Islamists pose a threat to its absolute power and its projected illusion of unity.

China is also anti-Israel because Israel is a close ally of the US and majority Muslim countries normalising relationships with Israel aligns them closer with the US.

Also, the non-Chinese version of Weibo (Twitter, or X) is also basically Gab at this point and flooded with antisemitic and anti-Israel (but also anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim) posts. The owner has even shared antisemitic accounts and posts himself. That doesn't seem to be a good yardstick for anything.

For what it's worth, the conclusion that I've come to with respect to tests is:

If a team has simple code, then tests can help a lot. However, if a team does not have simple code (and usually they don't) then it's better to spend time simplifying the code than writing tests.
