Yeah but that was never a distinguishing property. All gaming journalism was pretty bad at the time and continues to be bad. This is why the fig leaf of "ethics in games journalism" was so attractive to anyone not paying close attention to GG: it was an open secret that many game reviews were either outright paid by publishers or written by journalists held on a tight leash with exclusive early access privileges implied to be contingent on positive review scores. I grew up in the 90s and 00s and I very much recall the boiling hatred for EA for buying out successful developers, restructuring them and leaving empty husks that churn out infinite sequels until the IP ran dry. People used to make fun of games like Call of Duty for boiling down all narrative mechanics to quick time events while railroading you through a third rate movie.

Kotaku ended up being singled out over the allegations regarding Depression Quest where it pretty much became ground zero for GG. The allegations themselves were mostly fueled by a cultural backlash of "true gamers" against "walking sims", the derogatory label for projects using games as medium for interactive narratives and experiences, which they saw as a threat to traditional gaming and gamer culture (which makes more sense if you compare it with the Great Replacement conspiracy theory and see it as a precursor to the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory especially popularised by Jordan Peterson).

Heck, even the affiliation was shaky at best: a person claiming to be the ex of the person who created Depression Quest accused a journalist writing for Kotaku to have given Depression Quest positive coverage while they were in a relationship. So at worst the argument was that the developer used a friend to create attention for the game by writing about it without disclosing their (at the time non-romantic) relationship. Compared to what every major gaming journalist was doing with triple-A publishers at the time this was a nothing burger - except GGers disliked what the game represented (i.e. progressives using games as a medium for interactive art pieces) and who was behind it (women and queer folk, i.e. people with "political" genders/ethnicities/orientations rather than straight-passing white-passing cis-passing men).

The moment Starlink started rolling out here (barely rural southern Ontario, just 5km-10km from town) -- along with more and more point to point wireless towers going up from indie ISPs -- the local telco (Bell Canada) suddenly found it in their heart to run fiber optic up and down the road. Which I'm sure promptly put all that out of business.

So now I have 3gbps fiber to the house, after 10 years of surviving on low bandwidth capped expensive Internet despite being proximous to the suburbs of the biggest city in Canada.

It may be in the end something like Starlink ends up being like Google's Fiber was in the cities it went into -- a fire lit under the bigger providers, forcing them to actually do something.

Seems like a shitty way to get society's infrastructure built though, doesn't it? Imagine if the power grid had developed this way.

It seems to me that all sensation is predicated on the existence of properly-functioning components evolved specifically to gather that stimulus and then process it into an experience.

We have at this moment countless processes happening in our bodies - cells dying and dividing, reacting to their environments, communicating amongst one another, and we are totally oblivious to nearly all of it, let alone do we experience a sensation of pleasure or pain in each of these processes.

Not all matter, not all living cells or fully formed organisms even, have the ability to experience consciousness or sense pain and pleasure any more than they automatically have the ability to see, hear, or taste.

It's all dependent on complex systems that evolved specifically to create each of those sensations, and even then on those systems functioning properly. In humans, consciousness can be totally disrupted by things like sleep or general anesthesia, disrupting any of the senses is as simple as cutting the nerves that feed these inputs into the brain or damaging the brain that is interpreting those inputs.

It seems sensible to me that we would be more wary of growing literal brains on a chip as we know for certain that brains have the capacity to produce consciousness. It's also sensible to me that we should be somewhat wary of creating that same consciousness in non-biological systems, even though we aren't yet certain whether they're capable of it.
Here’s the actual legal requirement:

> In the case of a notification required to be sent by a motor vehicle manufacturer, by certified mail, verifiable electronic means such as receipts or logs from electronic mail or satellite distribution system, or other more expeditious and verifiable means to all dealers and distributors of the vehicles that contain the defect or noncompliance.

I think that would cover them having a pop up on the dashboard as long as they were confident that the driver couldn’t miss it and they could log that it was seen.
> However all of those pieces arrange themselves around a central conflict which does have exactly two sides in my opinion, which are the Israeli and Palestine people, respectively their claims to live on the land.

We're talking here about the conflict that has happened as a result of the Hamas attacks on October 7.
Take a look at how CNN vs BBC vs The Guardian categorize the conflict. CNN describes it as the "Israel-Hamas War" (Reuters similarly uses "Israel and Hamas at war") while the BBC and Guardian list it as the "Israel-Gaza war" (and I'm pretty sure the Guardian previously used the same terminology as CNN). And you've described it as "Israeli people-Palestine people".

yeah stable diffusion has very limited understanding of composition instructions. you can reliably get things drawn, but it's super hard to get a specific thing in a specific place (i.e "a man with blonde hairs near a girl with black hairs" is gonna assign hair color more or less randomly and there's no guarantee on how many people will be on the picture) - regional prompting and control net somewhat help, but regional prompting is very unreliable and control net is, well, not text to image.

It is loaded. It means a critical safety issue has been found by the government and they’re forcing it to be fixed. That comes with various timeline and notification requirements.

That’s all it means.

Whether or not you have to drive to a specific building to get it done is not and never has been a requirement of the recall process. That’s just how automakers have done it, mostly out of lack of OTA and unwillingness to send techs to invidual peoples houses.

You're extrapolating far too much from my post.

But for starters, it would be perfectly viable for people to be waiters, and to even have tips be a component of their wage. But there needs to be the recognition that the tips still need to be earned. That can start at the more legacy value of 10-15% for simply doing a decently basic job, and ramp up from there. However today we are seeing a progression towards some of the these workers expecting >20% for absolute minimum effort.

The primary alternative would be that the restaurant charges the actual price required to pay people a competitive wage, which is the basic approach in almost every other type of business.

> Why would we high-level-sandbox a basic functionality when we obviously know how to write safe software in other spaces in the low level?

Why would we sandbox code against vulnerabilities rather than simply writing code without vulnerabilities? Because writing code without vulnerabilities is not possible to achieve 100% of the time.

I love Rust as much as the next guy, but you need to know how to use it, too. We're back to "just do it perfectly" again: write perfect code, using perfect languages with perfect compilers. In order to know how to do that, hire perfect employees. In order to hire perfect employees, you need a perfect interview process, etc. I'm sure this would be easy in a perfect world.

But do you have any idea how unrealistic this prospect is? About why you can't just place your trust in being able to write perfect code that has no bugs, and about why defense in depth is so important?

If you have no sandbox, you have to write code that contains zero vulnerabilities. If you cannot perfectly guarantee the complete absence of bugs, you cannot perfectly guarantee that your code contains zero vulnerabilities.

You're correct, but the specific usage "all but disappeared" is used in English in this case to mean it has declined so much that there is almost nothing left (everything bad has happened to it, the only thing left is for it to be gone completely). Like right now I would say the snow we had last week has all but disappeared, because there technically are small piles where people had shoveled it or built snowmen, but it has functionally gone.

Arguably the human-ness (or even animal-ness) of thought is, at its root, characterized as the ability abstract in a novel manner (the neurocog term for innovate).

In other words, it is the ability to find patterns between two concepts that weren't, ever, prior announced. A computer that could do this would then be AI. A computer that cannot would fall short of that category, however otherwise dazzling in stitching together established patterns.

A quick human, and therefore, machine test of this ability might be decoding of prior unseen allegory. How fast and accurately can a human or machine identify (abstract) any true pattern in an allegory that can be applied to another seemingly unrelated concept or story? Again, this would have to be a new allegory to the subject. Ideally, harboring a pattern that isn't discussed anywhere in training data.

The AI would be held to be improved as its ability improved to decode and apply increasingly abstract or otherwise complex patterns from allegory or stories.

Not that I would be, but I'm un aware of any LLM / AI progress toward that type of processing.
I just recently read this very well-written article on why SMRs don't make sense (I don't recall, but I probably got the link here!).

sample excerpt:
To be clear, if SMRs made sense, existing nuclear power generation facilities are the place to build them. They are already at the centre of the seven overlapping layers of defence that nuclear generation sites require from the international, all supply and waste chains and the physical and electronic security of the facility itself.

Relying on a cloud account, free or otherwise, to store the only copy of your life's work is asking for disaster. If you rely on data being archived, you need to know enough to do it yourself, on redundant portable hard disks, whatever. The cloud copy may be a working copy, but it has to be backed up.

As for Google accounts being nuked for inappropriate pictures: Whoa. You buy a cheap Android tablet, never really use it for photography. Then one day you grab some quick pix with it, not even realizing the default installed Google Photos app is going to upload them to the cloud by default. And then see them pop up on your other devices! This happened. Of course I instantly vaporized the Google Photos app on all my devices and installed Gallery Go instead. No cloud! And of course an alternate scheme for backing up the camera roll on my phone (I already remembered to set it not to sync photos to the cloud - I just forgot to check the tablet).

All of my pet projects can be found as real tools or services elsewhere, but I built them for myself (or in the case of Eurotripr) as a hope to monetize one day.

- Book tracker to track books I want to read (for self, with kids) and will randomly suggest a book from the list i should read next if I am unsure. It tracks my progress through reading the HUNDREDS of books I add to my reading list and estimates how long it will be until I am through with my list...far too long.

- Soccer Score 'pickem' game to play with friends during world cup, Euros, and multiple leagues. I don't like Fantasy sports b/c too much time/attention, and I can just add the leagues we follow only.

- Eurotripr: a tool to plan trips to Europe and track current average costs in european countries and cities for planing purposes.

- an "Intrview status tracker" to help me create interviews with other travelers for my Eurotripr project. I can email an invite to a traveler I want to interview and from a bank of over 150 questions it generates a simplified interview of 10-15 questions, tracks the interviewees progress, notifies me when they have submitted the 'completed' interview, let's me know what percent of the questions they answered. I can provide feedback and request further detail for the responses from interviewees. Plus it will track the status of each interview request: declined, in progress, completed, published. So at a glance I can see how many pending interviews I have to stay on top of or publish.

- A cycling tool that provides a basic 6-8 week cycling plan to get me from 0 miles to riding a century by the end of the plan. I had plans tot try to monetize this with a stripe checkout and if you finish the century (100 mile) ride and don't miss more than 2 rides per week during th plan, you are not charged your money, but shiny object syndrome got in my way.
You're taking benchmark numbers from a latent diffusion model's (SDXL) inference and extrapolating them to encoder-decoder transformer model's (Whisper) inference. These two model architectures have little in common (except perhaps the fact that Stable Diffusion models use a pre-trained text encoder from clip, which again is very different from an encoder-decoder transformer).

Dissolves, like so many other touches, were spot on. He didn't just set it in the 1970's but made it feel like a film from that time. And it works. My daughter saw it at her college and wrote, "Why does no one talk about this film?!" She didn't realize that it was just released.

But what I admired more about this film, besides the impeccable acting and flawless script, was the way Payne hinted at a specific trope and then rug-pulled it away, sometimes dramatically.

> Does this mean that my descendants could “colonize” places where my ancestors never lived but could not “colonize” places where they did not live?

I think you have a typo there (both options are where your ancestors didn't live).

Assuming you meant:

> Does this mean that my descendants could “colonize” places where my ancestors never lived but could not “colonize” places where they did live?

Then yes.

The first case - moving to a new country and sending people from your own country to live there - is colonisation - see https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis...

In the second case, particularly if your community has been there for a few thousand years, you're just buying a house.

> I buy non-DRM ebooks (so far, they cost about twice Kindle prices),

Curious about this one. The price is set by the publisher, so it's not like you can just opt to pay for a DRM or a DRM-free copy of the book at checkout.

I assume you mean that the publishers who offer DRM-free books tend to be more expensive? That might track if they're indie publishers, since they can't afford to be loss-leaders on a product.

But FWIW, Tor Books offers all of their stuff DRM free across the major platforms (Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, B&N, Apple Books, etc.) and they go on sale just as often as the major publishers, in my experience.
