It's an awful trend really. When authors do this sometimes I even feel personally attacked and have to hold myself to be nice in the comment section. That usually means I don't even comment at all.
I would say that paper and table top is far too removed a medium from an interactive video game to be a proper prototyping form. Paper only cares about the rules and consequences of those rules, but no "feedback".

For example, you would not imagine that portal could've been designed from using paper and tabletop. The feel of looking thru a portal, the orientation (or disorientation) of the player, etc are all crucial to making portal good.

You would also not be able to prototype a game such as Q.W.O.P. (and their incarnations such as "Getting Over It") on paper - it's impossible to imagine it, without first getting the smallest prototype that's interactable on the medium it's ultimately delivered.

I suspect that using paper and tabletop to design a game mechanic will surely bias you to produce discrete interactions in your game, even if the ultimate medium is in the computer and played interactively.
Laser cutting machines use optical fibers and can push tens of kilowatts if power, although I don't know what sort of fiber arrangement they do use. But I think that still indicates that you can push a lot of power through fiber.

This is why I like the internet so much.

It was so well designed in the sense that a single platonic decision somewhere does affect people else where in the network.

It's well decentralised.

Kudos to who ever contributed in designing these internet protocols. DNS, ICANN, TCP/IP et Al.

I wonder who these people are or if they have any documentation that describes how they arrived at their decisions? I suspect people designing the fediverse can learn alot from them.

Given that the last time the Houthis hit a ship, it was a Danish-owned vessel flying the Singaporean flag en route from Singapore to Egypt, either the Houthis have terrible aim or they're not entirely honest about their motivations. Given how difficult it is to hit a ship out in the water in the first place, I think the second explanation is more likely.

I mostly agree with your comment, but I think we can put aside fair use and enforceability of the license in following manner:

1. I think whether AI training is fair use is for the courts to decide. In some sense a licence such as this could land a good case to force the courts to do so, as it could prohibit any argument that the training was in accordance to license and as such would require the trainers to rely on fair use exclusively.

2. Enforceability is always a problem with copyleft licenses. You can't expect that putting a restrictive license will completely stop infrigenment, but you create legal peril for anyone who decides to do so.
Your grandparents' complaining isn't entirely pointless - sure, you can get a quality product from local merchants, but the price is disproportionately higher.

The thing they're actually missing is a mass-produced product that brings the cost down because of scale but at the same time is still designed with quality in mind. It's not that the best available knives got worse, the average $50 ones did.

It works for buildings too - whatever is the currently popular architectural style is typically what's is easiest to get. If everyone is getting pretty buildings, we can all get them without having to spend (much) more money.
They should just have it say "Copilot" instead of the weird logo they have for Copilot. That way it'd be future-proof for all of the future (AI) products also called Copilot that Microsoft will launch.

One solution I adopt when I want to do a family trip with more luggage or people than our daily commuter can manage is to rent a bigger car.

Generally, we're driving out, hanging out for a couple hours to have a meal, and driving back. There's no garage to plug the car in; the car area is about 100 feet from the house. Overall, it's just not realistic to plug a car in while visiting them.
> Electric is simply not an option for the majority of people, it is a luxury. Until a worker can get an electric car for a couple of thousands, no scrapyard bonus will make any difference whatsoever. It's just more tax money subsidies for rich people.

Fully agree, even though the maximum amount of public transportation is in my opinion desirable in areas that permit it.

When my car gets damaged, even if it is a 1mm strach, I get to decide when to repair it, if at all.

With a rented car I need to take a full damage insurance just in case a tiny scratch is visible.
Charging infrastructure and speed would mitigate that as well. Driving 3+ hours is going to cut it close on many combustion cars’ ranges too, but gas stations are ubiquitous and almost always have gas. When they don’t, you get the gas crises we’ve seen around the world when supply or delivery runs low.
I agree, we're the baddies here.

But a peaceful solution seems like a pipe dream. It would need a profound change in Israeli politics to push for a two-state solution now, and the West has only limited leverage. It doesn't help that Netanyahu has a personal interest in the war, it's basically his Hail Mary to save his career.

In any case, the West should pull its support from Israel, though.
> The total file is ~12 gigabytes, so we should expect to be able to get the task done in 0.3 seconds or so.

How? EPYC-Milan features PCIe 4.0 and theoretical maximum throughput of x4 sequential read is ~8GB/s.

In bare-metal machines, this figure is rather closer to 5-6GB/s, and in cloud environments such as CCX33, I imagine it could be even less.

So, unless I am missing something you'd need ~2 seconds only to read the contents of the ~12GB file.
I’m cynical: my guess is it’ll just emit Super+C. My laptop has its row of function keys and their alternative functions are mostly separate keys for controlling the device, but three feel more application-level: ASUS’s “Aura” button is XF86Launch3 (yay!), but the screenshot and presentation mode changing ones are just Super+Shift+S and Super+P, so you can’t do anything novel with them. I’m guessing Copilot will use Super+C, as I presume Cortana’s successor.
Wow, 200/day. How of your time does that consume?
> it has one of the most advanced type systems

Well, that's a bit of a stretch. It is definitely one of the most complex type systems due to interactions between nominal sub-typing and type classes which is a bit hairy. But in terms of what this type system can express or prove, it's both inferior (cannot express lifetimes or exclusive access) and superior (HKTs, path dependent types) to Rust in some aspects. Let's say they are close.

Why not both via the same wavelength?
This is a bit simplistic, especially the last paragraph. There are quite a lot of examples of ants which aren't particularly related to each other cooperating [1].

Probably the most common example is that colonies which have been around for a while and are stable often adopt new queens that turn up from outside. Then multiple queens are producing workers and you get a colony made of many distinct "families".

There are even examples of nests consisting of ants from different species. Quoting from the article I referenced earlier

> Ants engaged in parabiotic associations cooperate in a variety of ways including shared nest defense, trophallaxis, and communal use of trail pheromones. For example, “ant gardens” in the Neotropics (Davidson, 1988; Orivel et al., 1997) and in Asian rainforests (Kaufmann and Maschwitz, 2006; Menzel and Bluthgen, 2010) are often co-inhabited by species from the genera Crematogaster and Camponotus (along with a number of other genera) .... While brood chambers are kept separate, the rest of the colonies mix freely within the joint nest. In addition to sharing foraging trails to plant-based resources (Menzel et al., 2010), both species will defend the nest although larger Camponotus tend to exhibit the majority of the defensive behaviors (Menzel and Bluthgen, 2010).

Attacks on merchant ships can't be tolerated, period. That's a fact regardless of whether one thinks about Israel or the US role there. My take on this is pretty crass: I hope a coalition of whoever is interested and affected can help level as much as is necessary in Yemen and that mission is accomplished when shipping insurance rates return to what they were before. A ceasefire in Palestine is a good idea no doubt, but from my safe armchair it looks a lot more attractive to spend billions of dollars and risk a lot of collateral damage in land attacks in Yemen than give the impression that a ceasefire happened through blackmail.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Water steam is a perfect medium for turbines because of its favorable thermodynamic properties, mainly high specific heat allowing water steam to absorb large amount of thermal energy. Also water steam is not corrosive because water itself is not corrosive. It's the dissolved minerals making it corrosive and that's why water used for turbines is purified first.
> Conflict and war exists - today as much as ever

This is simply not true. With the exception of the recent Ukrainian war, violent deaths on Earth have been massively trending downward for decades.

There is much less war affecting many fewer people than ever before. This is no accident, and it is the result of hard work by people who don’t espouse these sorts misguided of “more aggression is better” beliefs. :(
I tried them when I was living in Ohio and they had the Pawpaw festival.

If they can get them to where other people that like them get to enjoy them though, that's cool.
> Given that the Houthis have said they are holding up ships they consider linked to Israel

They're stopping ships that they can, and it is in their interest to stop. Iranian ships seem to be passing through no bother, but ships flagged as Liberian, coming from Europe to Asia with a Filipino and Indian crew are stopped. You can consider any ship linked to Israel if you don't care how tenuous the link is.

> and that everyone in the UN bar the US and Israel are calling for a ceasefire.

Notably Hama's isn't calling for a ceasefire, and it takes two to tango, so even if Israel wanted a ceasefire there won't be one.

> wouldn't it be more useful to get a ceasefire, so then the Houthis can stop?

Since when did "Don't give in to terrorists" stop being a thing? Just throw ourselves on the good graces of a violent terrorist group.
Until they can produce an EV that doesn’t feel like a massive downgrade in connvience, performance, cost, basically all the ways normal people measure the decision of buying a car, I’m not sold.

I like the fact it takes a few minutes to refuel my car, and it’s the same process regardless if I’m traveling 5 miles or 500. I don’t need to deal with charging stations, and if I run out of gas I can take a gas can to the car and problem solved. I can also store as much excess gasoline as I want just by having an extra container and if I take it with me, I can basically define whatever range I want.

I also don’t mind stopping at gas stations and it’s part of my routine where I like to talk to the people there. Sitting alone for an hour in a parking lot where I have somewhere to be isn’t my cup of tea.

I don’t want a vehicle that gradually looses half of its range over time, then has to have over $10k invested (sometimes quite a bit more) in a new battery every 100-150k miles. It’s like buying a gasoline car where the engine not only wears out and performance greatly degrades, but is virtually guaranteed it will always need a complete engine replacement.

I don’t want to worry about greatly reduced range in the winter. I don’t want to worry about a battery fire. When’s the last time you have seen a gasoline car spontaneously combust just sitting in a garage? Despite having a lot of flammable liquid it just doesn’t happen.

I also expect the resale value of the car to be reasonable, at least consistent with a good quality gasoline car.

Then there’s Elon Musk. His toxicity is reason alone for me to delay any EV purchase (not just Tesla) for as long as possible.

Outside of the tech echo chamber, I think I represent the majority of people who aren’t interested in EV’s and likely never will be. I wouldn’t care if they had a full self driving car, or make the car out of glass, or put a giant screen in it, I’m not buying it.

So they want to sleep at your place but are not comfortable having you around?

And if they have back pain they can't sleep on just any mattress either, as it might be the wrong hardness for them. And you might have another friend staying over so now you need two guest bedrooms for them both to have privacy, and both of which need fancy specific mattresses, ah and what if it's one of those couples that don't sleep in the same bed so...

Having an entirely unused room to cater to a very specific situation in which someone has to sleep in your house but also wants a hotel experience with a particular choice of mattress is a waste of effort. Guest bedroom by themselves is quite an American luxury thing. They're not at all a thing in Scandinavia unless you live in a mansion, and even then it would be weird waste of rooms to make spare bedrooms. Friends sleep on couches or fold-out beds if they need to sleep over.
