The TV show was first aired in 2009, and they're still on streaming services so it's hardly an orphan work. Not that I'm agitating for more or stricter enforcement, far from it, but it seems strangely lackadaisical compared to the "walk past a shop playing music and cop a copyright strike" that also happens on the very same platform.

Then again I guess YouTube makes money from ads on these videos being up, so that does explain the sphinx-like impassivity.

This is why it's hard to take the 'climate change' argument seriously. Why can companies issue a software change without having to provide a public risk assessment of the impact of making such a change - especially in regards to the proper handling and disposal of the now - assuredly useless - devices?

Sometimes you have to wonder about all the energy required to make the materials and components to make these products just for a software update to render them all useless...complete waste.

Why not allow a longer lead time? Or deny any new made devices going forwards whilst older ones are EOL? I feel there are many better solutions than "sorry pls throw away thx".

I'd really like to see studies of the human impact and cost of what a single software update can do - my understanding is it all ends up in landfill to rot and hardly anything is recycled.

Conversely, freeing data science/numerical analysis tooling from the tire-fire of the Python ecosystem might actually be a net benefit for the community at large. Get a bit more variety into the options, explore some alternative approaches. Who knows, maybe some ideas from other programming languages will yield some useful advantages.

Is it the "philosophy of science"?
What is now called "science" was once called "natural philosophy"?

Maybe it's the science of science?
Maybe it's the philosophy of philosophy?
Maybe it's the science of philosophy?
Maybe it's the philosophy of science?

Maybe it's all the same under naturalism?

Studying science (itself a natural process) using our computational understanding of what a "process" is and does sure fits the Oxford definition of "science".

> By this do you mean a mouse and keyboard? And you consider this to be cheating?

It's common for games to be tuned specficially for controller, and using mouse and keyboard 'gets around' the shortcomings of the less precise controller but still take advantage of the affordances games give controller (like increased aim assist or magnetism)

> We don't need any "radical changes," we only need to implement existing solutions at the right scale

Scale is the problem.

> Once we have enough solar panels, wind turbines and battery cells, a tipping point is reached where the cost of renewable energy plummets so hard that fossil fuel energy becomes catastrophically uneconomical

The radical change I'm referring to is the drastic cut in energy consumption to make renewables work at our current scale. I suggest you have a look at the latest IPCC report [0]: we won't be carbon neutral without reducing our energy consumption, not "simply" replacing a source by another for each use, reducing it. That means doing less things, which no one plans on doing.

Not even to mention that some non negligible parts of our economy don't have a technical solution yet, the aviation industry for instance.

I don't understand what you mean by that as it seems we are not on the right trajectory to avoid a catastrophic outcome...

I mildly disagree (although your final conclusion is correct: it indeed does nothing for science).

The deepest fundamental structures in the brain[0] are quantum fields, which are also the deepest fundamental structures in everything else.

There is no known quantum field of "soul" or "intelligence".

The right abstraction is higher, and could still be a whole lot of things; but as maths can be implemented in logic, which can be implemented in electronics or clockwork or hydraulics, it doesn't matter what analogy is used — and my mild disagreement here is that such inspiration has been useful and gotten us this far.

Everyone who makes this kind of comment must not play video games online.

The "money play" is a cut on digital sales, and balancing subscription fees with the cost of services rendered. I can't imagine how little they make on accessories/certification to be the reason behind this move. I think this is the start of set of changes that culminates in hardware verification for the (leaked) revision of the console.

> because XIM has an excellent history of spoofing a controllers input to the console

That it does now, but Microsoft can upload firmware to their devices and have full control of the software it runs on.

Call of Duty is one of their biggest games, and I think being a platform that nullfies Xim and Cronus will convince people to play those games on that platform, especially with Crossplay off and the games being free on Game Pass. This makes more sense as a "money maker" to me (i.e. fuelling Game Pass subs).

Idk... That's a little abstract for me.

Anyone can write and distribute the good version of this article. Major publication, a nobody-reads-it blog whatever....

If they're practiced at this type of work... It's probably a few days worth of work... Probably spread out over a longer period.

It's possible to do this in a way worth reading and writing. The better version would do well on HN. Where is it? Why do we get this version? Why did economist publish this very?

I don't think HN is being manipulated as an "effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion.""

There's a reading of Chomsky whereby this is at least partially emergent. There's a reading of Chomsky (maybe closer to his intent) where it's all a big conspiracy, with market forces filling the space where a belief in wide-scale collusion is untenable. That is, imo, crossing the line into superstition.

The alternative is thateconomist science writing is an abstract product, like code, like education, like a lot of things. It can suck, or it can be better without conspiracy, or secular prophecy.

What I have learnt is that the majority of people are not interesting enough to keep quiet just to be "allowed" to be around them. The number of people I respect and am interested in listening to their opinion goes down from year to year, with experience.

This is a long and complex essay by Milan Kundera. The central theme is the concepts of "The West", and Central Europe, and how they relate to the history of the region. The impact of the various totalitarianisms that buffeted the region is central to the discussion.
> If you are trying to be a well-rounded person with well-founded opinions on different topics, it makes sense to believe that there are others like you who are further along the way.

Maybe that's the issue with me. The more I learn, over years, the more cautious I become about forming an opinion. It's very rare that things are black or white, I can see it being all very grey. So if I see someone describing, with full confidence, that this is good and that is bad, without all that load of middle-tones, it just makes me feel that they either are not too smart or do not have good intentions.

> You can come to very different conclusions based on how your worldview is constructed, and I think the sign of a true intellectual is that they can coherently describe theirs, and make other intellectuals understand it, even if they are diametrically opposed to it.

I can see the appeal here. What I do not understand is, why would you approach that person as an authority?
Cockney and Queen's English have all but disappeared among young people
all those features you listed are immensely useful and enrich the way we access technical documentation, to the point of often outweigh the losses. That said, I do dream of a future when one could have a searchable book you can talk to but also use your hands in a natural way to flip trough the pages, hold your place with fingers etc. Our current touch screen gestures only scratch at the surface of what our hands can do, by focusing only on what you can do with the tips of the fingers.
I have read a few, and - at least when I was a more open-minded young adult - thought they were really insightful. I wouldn't say they're 100% on the money, but there are still many moments in life when something I see really resonates with what he wrote. Definitely worth reading and digesting.

He defines his own terms throughout his bibliography and everything makes so much sense put together (you can apply his logic to the health system, language, knowledge through written books, industrial society, education, gender vs. sex etc.). He didn't tried to make his writing too complex to appear like an advanced intellectual nobody gets, he really tries to make his messages understood, so reading him is also not a pain.

Weirdly, only left wing people read him. But he's actually quite libertarian compatible
I am disappointed:

I have to wait a few years for the C++ committee to define profiles. Then a few more years for tooling to become available. Then a few more months for the tooling to become interoperable enough to actually be used in existing build tooling. Then a few more years for all my major dependencies to actually use profiles. Then I can rewrite my code in profiles-C++ -- or by writing safety wrappers around my existing code and all dependencies that do not support the right profiles.

Or I can switch to a memory safe language today. I still have to write safety wrappers around all my code to interface with that, but I'll have a couple of years of a head-start to anybody sticking to C++.
Or you can add audit over second channel, just like tax and accounting always did it. Fiat transactions don't feature taxes and accounting, but they exist.

20 out of 40M people doesn't seem like a horde to me. In fact, it seems like the chances of any teeneger running 10.7 is vanishingly small, around the chances of winning the lottery.

So going back to your statement, it's really more like saying, "One in a million teenagers is able to run within 10% as fast as the fastest man in the world. But that 10% barrier is incredibly difficult or almost impossible to cross."
Thanks. I thought the previous experience might be interesting though.
Frankly, I dont care if they rely on a car or not. All I care is how much they endanger other drivers and pedestrians. And I dont want to wait for self-driving tech for this problem to be solved either. I am a blind pedestrian. I cant jump aside if some old fart suddenly fails to react and is about to hit me. I am afraid of mentally and physically unstable drivers. AFRAID!
You'd be surprised at how many calculator apps on smartphones just use floating point and thus get many calculations completely wrong.
CEO has a track record of making damaging statements.

CEO pushes though decision on a monetisation plan so stupid that people are screaming internally about it before it's released.

The changes in question destroy the brand's reputation and decades of goodwill.

Many customers actively port their games away.

It's characteristic of short term thinking. The only concern is "what might raise revenue this quarter". If they'd thought beyond that they'd have seen that the damage to the brand is likely to be far more costly.

This line of thinking seems to have become pervasive. No thought is given to producing something people want to pay for. Instead, they squeeze until people get fed up and the product dies.

Indeed, if I remember correctly, he quit about 12 months ago or so. It made me wonder what the earning of a high profile podcast can be! Also how much that can fall away when the advertising business drops (as they constantly like to remind me, multiple times on every show…).

It makes me confused that while they’re working on the show(s) full time, the quality is dropping? It’s less interesting somehow?
What sort of imaginary attacks are you talking about? Also, removing your ability to use your devices with this device arbitrarily makes this device less "our hardware" and more 'Microsoft's Hardware".
It’s a function of time. Twitter loses unsustainably large amounts of money right now. This only ends with bankruptcy. But he’ll keep funding it through SpaceX and Tesla because he can’t be seen to fail.
Road signage and TFL are the exception. Most commercial ads are really bad.
This whole thing is set-up to earn your money under the cover of protecting somebody from something, so all the prices you see are random manager thoughts on how much they want to get.

There is no reasoning behind this price really and it is just arbitrary price made from rules "as high as possible" and "low enough they still buy from us". Microsoft certificate prices are essentially like drug prices, and the "authorized resellers" is basically a drug cartel

Yes, it would be really easy. You "just" have to be able to buy thousands of official controllers and solder a microcontroller on them. And then resell them. Without getting sued.

Or teach people to solder the microcontroller themselves.

Yes, there will always people cheating no matter what. But as long as you reduce their numbers substantially, it is worth it.

There should be a sort game like this. Like it shows me a mostly dark map like in video games and as I move around, the maps gets revealed (within 100m radius or within algorithmically determined visibility radius or something). The game would be to open new areas on a map like you would on a video game.
I think that’s a fair point, but then one could argue the onus should be on them to “reconstitute” the files before export by merging the EXIF back in.

> Netflix is no substitution for a hobby. Ready-made meals are no substitution from cooking vegetables. Chats are no substitution for IRL human interactions

Hard disagree. A habbit you enjoy doing repeatedly is a hobby, Netflix or just staring at cable tv qualifies. Ready made meals can contain veggies, frozen veggies in a bag are plenty healthy and popular. But even if you were right, people live long and healthy lives eating mostly fast food with small portions and working out. I don't really care about Chatbots but IRL human interactions are terrible unless you are the right type of person in the right type of place, online interactions with people like the one we are having now is in my opinion a higher quality interaction than IRL, sort of like writing letters in the olden days, we take our time and compose our thoughts and communicate better.
Done! Thank you
Valve's Anticheat is a joke
Yes, and this book: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL28292750M (no opinion about differences between the editions, this is the final one). Yes, it’s a doorstopper, but unlike most other people’s attempts at the kitchen sink that is the traditional calculus course, it actually affords proper respect to the half-dozen or so different subjects whose basics are crammed in there. The discussion of associativity I was referring to is in Chapter 1, so perhaps it can serve as a taster.
> Genetics is not a credible science

This is a far stronger claim than I think you mean. We have a ton of evidence that those bits of DNA in our cells govern cell expression and even know in some cases that bit X being malformed causes bad condition Y (sure, you could hypothesize that they both have a common cause, but how the heck would that work? Correlation being causation works if both common cause and backwards causation are implausible, as they are often in genetics).

> but not a very good one as even they don't have the same genetics

Uhhh... they have almost exactly the same genetics. To a similar extent that two random cells from your body will have the same genetics. Yes, there will be a handful of mutations, but that's very unlikely to have an effect on any particular trait.
Cool, thank you! :)
