Oh that would be so cool! I could finally give all my game ideas a shot, even the more weird/experimental ones! As it is now I have to consider expected payout divided by expected effort, and a lot of ideas are just non starters because they're simply too big to finish for me.

Financially, well I'd expect people as an aggregate would keep spending about the same amount of money, so I don't think the proverbial pie would get any smaller, though it might change who gets a piece and how large that piece is.

Guess what, such is life! Even if we, for the sake of argument, imagine that the existence of such an AI is 100% guaranteed to render me personally unable to make any money whatsoever from making games, that's a price I would be willing to pay! I'd have to work with something less fun but I'd keep making games in my spare time just for fun anyway.

It's not like making a living from our passions is some god given right, It's a privilege!
And if that privilege is the cost for making my passion more accessible to everyone, that's a price I'd pay in a heartbeat. I can't wait to make reality out of all my ideas, and I can't wait to see what others are going to make with it either!

It's already one of my bigger regrets that I don't contribute more to open source resources that would make game development easier for others, I just can't find enough time and energy for it.

From the consumers perspective, I expect there'd be a lot more to choose from. I imagine the quality of indie games would rise immensely. Heck gamers could even just use the AI to make a custom game tailored for their own tastes from home, how sweet would that be? Might that make the pie smaller for pro Devs? Sure, it might, but who cares!
It also might not! Who knows?

The one thing that is guaranteed from such an AI is that awesomeness goes up. I want it!
You can get pretty far nowadays with preempt rt and an FPGA. Maybe you even can get near 1µs max jitter. One problem with the older RPis was unpredictable (to me) behaviour of the hardware, i.e. "randomly" changing SPI clocks, and limited bandwidth.

Hobby systems like a small CNC mill or lathe usually don't need anything near 1µs (or better) max jitter. LinuxCNC (derived from NIST's Enhanced Machine Controller, name changed due to legal threats) runs fine on preempt-rt with control loops around 1kHz, with some systems you can also run a "fast" thread with say 20kHz and more to generate stepper motor signals, but that job is best left for the FPGA or an additional µC IMHO.

Google's Gemini model is delayed
this hanger has custom plastic parts. 3 years does not sound exaggerated. it's not 3 years of a full time job, but 3 years from concept to being ready for production sounds plausible.
Of course these costs are counted. You do realise these are companies running these North Sea windfarms and selling the electricity to the grid? Do you think they suddenly go, "Oh, we forgot about maintenance costs! We're losing money now!"

They sell to the grid at a price that makes them a profit. How did you think this all worked?

I don't believe in "randomly closing accounts". As for sending a scan of my passport/ID I did this when I opened the account with them which was back in 2010 or so.

During that time, one of my servers was hacked once (I was stupid enough to start digging Monero on the same system I had some other services installed) and another time one of my users had a weak password and his account was sending spam. In both cases they notified me and gave me the time to fix the problem. I also appreciate human contact and quick replies.
So for $10M revenue, they had $53M cost of revenue. I think asking for $1 is never going to be sustainable, even if leave all other costs. My guess is that "employee compensation for part of operations team" is the primary one taking all the cost, as payment processing fees couldn't be more than the revenue itself and one message is pretty cheap.
this analysis glosses over how you "find" these jobs (you become a felon for smoking weed or similar crimes) or if you're technically inclined, how you get into this type of job market: not voluntarily. it's n intricate system of exploitation.

criminalize strong healthy young men for petty reasons. put them into prisons, private ones, mind you, where there is profit from housing the workforce.

and then make them work "or else" again, no choice, no freedom

fwiw circulating a sea of hand guns keeps the criminality rate high.

nra, private prisons, prison factories dance a happy dance.
everyone profits off those "goddam n*ggas" (that was sarcasm)

and it's even subsidized, running prisons is expensive...

harsh punishment even for petty crime is da best for this, don't you ever start this crazy crime prevention social work resocialisation BS. it has socialism in the name already. that was sarcasm again.

its a set up for slavery, masked as "criminal justice"

and a prime exercise in newspeak.

Internet.nl (test tool for modern internet standards) now as Docker container
Up until now, setting up Internet.nl was challenging and cumbersome. Many times this annoyed ourselves, and also hindered others who wanted to use and contribute to the Internet.nl codebase. Over the last months, the Internet.nl code has been carefully assembled into a 'ready-to-go' software package, i.e. a Docker container.

The test tool Internet.nl is an initiative of the Dutch Internet Standards Platform which is a collaboration of partners from the Internet community and the Dutch government. The aim of the platform is to jointly increase the use of modern Internet standards to make the Internet more accessible, safer and more reliable for everyone. The software code of Internet.nl is available under an open source license.

You’ll always get back what you wrote even if it wasn’t written durably. It’s kind of how that works. With consensus you make the following kind of argument:

1. The kind of drives you’re using if you’re running a distributed consensus in production is going to be enterprise where these kind of games are played a lot less

2. Establishing consensus is time consuming - by the time peers ack it, you will have flushed to disk. In a common 3 replica scenario, that means 1/3 nodes is taken care of.

3. The probability of 2 disks failing simultaneously in ways that cause a problem is pretty small.

But yeah, if your concensus has to be durably written and your flash controller is lying to you, your concensus is worthless (even reading what you wrote isn’t good enough because again - controller can lie to you and satisfy reads from the buffer too)

>1. France isn't an isolated country.

What is this supposed to mean? Do you want to imply that the German Green party for example, dictates the politics in France??

> 2. That "lobby" is decades of various actvists fear-mongering and politicians afraid of unpopular decisions.

Nuclear is popular in France...your own quote says it.

Not wanting to live near a nuclear plant is hardly an argument against nuclear power itself. You are twisting the facts.

> Follow the link above for a description of anti-nuclear activism

I did. The newest info on this powerful lobby:

> In March 2014, police arrested 57 Greenpeace protesters who used a truck to break through security barriers and enter the Fessenheim nuclear in eastern France.

This is hilarious. THIS is supposed to be that powerful anti-nuclear lobby in France? 57 Greenpeace protesters? Are you joking?
But they don't do the exact same thing at all. One comes preloaded with apps you didn't choose and news or ads right on the task bar. Apple does none of that.
Yeah, not really. Any site that professses to be legitimate but features Lorem Ipsum on its pages is a bust for me. Also the demo is really not that impressive, very machine. Maybe in a few years?
How to Discover New Music
> Backed into a corner? This thread basically started with "Portugal ran on 100% renewables"... Sobat least for one point in time, it is possible.

Sure, but that's not sustainable, as the numbers on the parent comment clearly indicate. From that perspective, what gives us a way forward is acknowledging that headlines such as these are meaningless in the grand scheme of things, and trying to design an energy strategy that is compatible with the facts at hand.
I really like her videos but I don't understand how this solves the problem in a better way than any of the obvious alternatives and it kind of bothers me that she doesn't address this at all in the video. All she does is say "there are no folding coat hangers on the market".

The simplest thing would be to just get a hanger with a rotating hook and hang it at a ~45 degree angle and I don't see how her solution is better, especially considering she wants to have over $6 per hanger.
For the life of me, I can not figure out how the 8GB models work for Apple. To be sure, I am near certain they do, I just don't understand how.

I get that they can sell an upgrade here but it's so obvious of a bottleneck that risks impacting the most basic experience of normies, who do not even wanna know what RAM is, which will just worsen the impression that could easily be fixed at a production premium of, what, $20?

Why would Apple do that? Your entire product feels bad, when you run out of RAM. It seems so off.
Take a look at Stripe Atlas (I have no affiliation).
IMO it's quite simple - lobbying works best at home. Most governments serve the interests of local industries more than they should, and Silicon Valley is quite obviously not in the EU. Apart from not employing many people and not paying a lot of taxes(!), some of SV companies' values are a little alien to Europeans.

Influencing a not completely corrupted government is not as simple as money in - laws out. That would work equally well everywhere.
The sources are the same [1].

You can see the instant consumption today at 653g/kwh [2] and normalized over a month here 416g/kwh [3].

Values are also aligned with what other specialized sources estimate [4]

You can also extract similar numbers on the site of European Union itself [5]

Wierdly I have more doubts about the partiality of the data of your source. Specially when tags itself as "EnergyWiende" in the title.

> Presumably they also count imported energy.

It does not. These number account only for production.

Germany numbers considering consumption are generally better because most of its neighbours have cleaner electricity production than Germany (excepted Poland).

Well, but how much energy storage do you really need if, say, renewables account for 5x or even 10x peak demand? If prices keep going down, I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.

> Then they start talking about things that currently cannot account for even 0.001% of our global energy storage needs

Not currently, but who's to say that it won't be possible to scale out manufacturing capacity for the technologies that we'll need? A couple of decades ago, EV production and EV charging networks basically did not exist, so by the same reasoning you'd be saying that it wouldn't be possible to have them.

But look where we are now.

Furthermore, the space of possibly feasible ideas/technologies is gigantic, you're just lacking in imagination. For starters, we haven't yet explored my idea:

1. Turn gym equipment into energy-generating devices.

2. Mandatory gym time by law for every able-bodied man and woman.

Solve the renewable problem and health/obesity problems at the same time. Boom.

If that's not enough:

3. Mandatory gym time also for pets and farm animals.

4. Install wind turbines on airplanes (deployed only when descending).

5. Install boat engines on floating wind turbines and remotely navigate them into hurricanes (imagine all that wind energy we're currently wasting!).

6. And if that's not enough, let's start constructing a Dyson sphere already. We already know how to build space rockets. So what's taking us so long? Less talk, more action.

And that's just the ideas that I, a layman, have come up with. So imagine what the experts could think of.
In the EU, really? I can see it in the US, but the amount of lobbying spend in EU must be 1-2 orders of magnitude less.

Also, all highly advanced democracies have some lobbying. It is not viewed widely by political scientists as corruption.

Absolutely hilarious to see the willingness for folks on this platform to advocate the opening up of something a company built by fiat.

Because YOU don't want to adapt you're asking nay advocating the forceful opening up of another platform to do it for you. That's just lazy.

Think about it like this:

You create a super successful bit of software -- let's call it an operating system -- that runs on a very popular and well designed piece of hardware referred to as an internet phone -- let's call it an iPhone. :-)

It takes off. Market share is just above 50% in the country of it's birth. w00t.

Now folks that haven't licensed your software by buying the hardware you built it for are out with pitch forks to force you to support other internet connected phones when you already do support them just not in the same way. Messages are still able to be sent to these devices but they don't share the same richness.

Why would anyone advocate that something a person with autonomy or a company for that matter be forced by fiat to open up a messaging system or any other bit of kit because the mob wants them to?

People are just frustrated and entitled. This isn't open source software. You can't just go and fork it. There are entire companies that have cropped up that are trying to bridge this blue bubble green bubble divide and that's the solution to take. Until, and unless Apple caves and opens up iMessage it seems wholly un-American to force them to do so when there are alternatives be it something like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, normal SMS and the green bubbles that come with it or moving to an iPhone. I'll never buy the "waaa because I use the built-in app on my Android phone and I want to have blue bubbles when I talk to my friends on iPhones ... waaaaaa!"

There are solutions, I've already outlined them. Pick one.

> Apple is the totalitarian, the EU is trying to stop tyranny.

The EU tends to do this. A successful platform is created and to give shortcuts to other companies to build on that success they force that platform to open to competitors. This is exactly why the EU doesn't have companies that innovate like the US does.
They just care about EU citizens more than American tech companies. If they were European mega corporations, I'm sure it would be different.
Well, of course all modern OS-es use swap when they don't have enough memory. But if it means they "function just fine", why Apple doesn't sell their entry level with just 4 GB if it really makes no difference?
She did address it by browsing quickly through a Google Images page, which indicates what kind of solutions she encountered.

Nevertheless, fair question.
FYI presumably the name of one of the developers gets leaked through the coffee lik.
Apple preloads the phone with commercial apps that I didn't ask for like Apple Music, and those apps will get automatically triggered for some content. They show news and other unsolicited content practically in the home screen (the widget screen is just a swipe away, every user will stumble there). What's the difference?

I think people are a bit blind to Apple's defaults. They compare a fresh Windows 11 install to their own customized iOS install with a decade of history, and conclude that Microsoft is so much worse. But the out of the box experience for a new user isn't all that different, IMHO. (MacOS is still better than Windows in many respects, but it's been steadily moving closer to iOS and comes with an ever-growing pile of Apple default apps loaded in the Dock and set as defaults.)
they hate it when you know what GB is.
You THINK it's easy. A nice clean set of boxes in a line with arrows.

... until you get branching. Exceptions/error branching. Subflows.

Suddenly, you have a fully turing complete engine. The modern compromise is a DAG that hopefully guides a workflow to completion a la the halting problem.

Anyway, there are a ton of piss poor ones with too many bespoke interfaces.
I'm glad I saw this coming over ten years ago and ditched Windows back then. I probably told people at the time and they laughed.

Agree, CO2 emissions are big problem, a life threatening one for some people. Nuclear is a problem too, just not a global obe. You know, both things can be true at the same time.

Again, what would be your alternative way forward? Coal and oil burning has to go, that much is sure. We still need electricity so, hence we need clean sources. And we need them fast, because as a species we were asleep at the wheel for way too long. Also, we need a lot of those clean sources.

So what is your proposal? A realistic one, please, not a scenarion of "we should have done X decades ago", but one that can be worked on right now, on the basis we have.
And another one for writing them as well!

> with your 20 seconds of thought on the problem space

It's a solved problem, is what I imagine OP meant by the "idea". It's not theirs. Those products exist.

It's not harder to see what everything is because they come in variants where they are stacked vertically, can pop out, can slide out. I agree it might not be as space efficient, but at least you are not limited to thin items that don't crease. And it's just a rack and you can use $0.50 coat hangers instead of $6 ones.

I do see the beauty of this design, and it can be useful when you have limited width as well (as the van pictured), so this is not a hate on that, just that this is not a revolution, just a different take on it.
Ask HN: How are you handling the Biggest Vendor Lock-in of the Decade?
Open source LLMs are amazing, they will get better and maybe even better that OpenAI's. But: using OpenAI APIs is so easy (they just work, are cheap, they will get cheaper) that added to all the hype, many of us just start using them. We know there are other options, but since this thing we are doing is just a test, we'll have time to change the future since changing is so easy.

But wait: is changing just updating the URL to the API you call?

For many applications, you need to create the embeddings. Each new embedding you create with a given model is digging a little deeper on the vendor lock in...

And if going out of S3 is expensive, imagine having to re-embed all your content with another model/provider...

So, what are your thoughts about the Biggest Vendor Lock-in of the Decade?
The really shocking part of this is that people actually pay money for this experience. This reminds me of the adblocker wars: those who play smart and cheap are better off than those who play dumb and expensive. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Probably a pain to set up, but should be possible. Since it's based on IMS which in turn is based on SIP, Open Source SIP servers could be the used, e.g. https://www.opensips.org/Documentation/Tutorials-RCS-Managin....

Also, will they allow using URI's instead of phone numbers for contacts?
> pick a standard (openapi? jsonschema? something else?)

This is a false dichotomy, as OpenAPI and JSON Schema are complementary: as of version 3.1, OpenAPI use JSON Schema to describe request and response payload content (prior to that version it was almost compatible).

They describe different things: OpenAPI describes the request-response API model, while JSON Schema can be used to specify contents of any JSON-encoded data -- for example in streaming messages or document databases.

There is also AsyncAPI, which is designed to document and specify the event-based API, for example in a system using Apache Kafka or a similar queue to communicate.
I think the intent was to name a wider aesthetic, whereas Aero was a Windows style.
I’m imagining a software solution using some form of journaling / checkpoints. Instead of overwriting data in-place, send all writes to fresh, unused storage and then “commit” by updating a pointer to avoid write amplification. You’d need a bit of extra machinery to handle reads on the old data. As I understand it, NVMe drives already send all writes to unused space and then update pointers to reclaim old capacity.

We could start with a nice implementation in the OS. Probably with a way for applications to opt in and out. And then optimize over time. Optimizations could include better integration with the way NVMe devices actually work, rather than the way they pretend to work to the rest of your computer.
This must be a mistaken measurement. How would GMail take up 1GB of RAM? Maybe the user has some GMail addons that leak memory or load huge word dictionaries or something.
