Web3 never had anything to do with the web. It was always a vain attempt to cash in on the aura associated with web 2.0 by sounding like a legitimate heir to the heritage of the WWW. It is however, as you said, just a convenient marketing term for crypto bros and blockchain scamware.

Web 3.0 as Tim Berners-Lee envisions it might have some legs, but web3 was a always an empty marketing vessel.

I wish there was something like this for 4th wall breaking lore in games.

I know I've encountered it many, many times, but it's hard to remember where exactly.

I just recently stumbled across screenshots of the ranting street preacher talking about how people were in a video game being controlled by button presses in Secret of Evermore, but a resource like this site for the sheer number of instances of things like that would have been awesome.

Let's assume all the browsers did this. Developers still have to target older browsers, so they'd wait years before even starting to use the new language (unless maybe there could be a polyfill). So you're talking about a pretty large amount of work that simply wouldn't be used for years.

Should agencies never have published information to privately owned corporate newspapers? After all, you could just tell people they need to mosey down to city hall (or whatever govt agency) to look at the notice board for all the official topical information.
The hardware device itself is a bit of a red herring. It's really a server-side LLM that is trained to use software on your behalf, presumably against server-side Android/Chrome VMs that you authenticate to various apps/services with OAuth.

At first it seems a bit like a kludge, but I don't really see any other way to create the dream sci-fi robot assistant. It has to be able to do things as you, and it would be impossible to manually integrate with every website or service.
Cars are essential, but there are 14 companies controlling some 54 brands. If you don’t like what the Volkswagen Group is doing, you can go to GM. Or Fiat Group. Etc;

Back in the real world, the Russians have lost over 5000 MBTs and similar numbers of AFVs.

You have to remember that Ukraine was provided with this gear with minimal training. It's easy to pick out small issues, (yes the Panzerhaubitze is a bit of a sensitive system to operate), but the majority of NATO gear provides better protection, and is more effective assuming the equipment is supported and maintained properly.

Russian gear is tough, can survive a lot of misuse and lack of maintenance. But compared to NATO gear, it's just not as survivable.

Once, the Nazis has Jews problems. They used a generous application of excessive violence, and it was effective.

Once, Israel has Palestinian problems. They use a generous application of excessive violence, and it IS effective.

> I can't imagine upgrading from 1070 to 2070

You're not getting what I'm saying - people stay in the same tier when they upgrade. They might do every generation, every other generation, skip every two generations, but the point is that people who have xx70 (or xx80) will buy xx70 (or xx80) from a newer generation.

10xx to 20xx upgrade made little sense to most gamers because RTX was a thing you turn on, look at pretty reflections and turn off to regain the performance. 10xx generation was a weird generation for NVIDIA and doubt they would make such a consumer friendly generation ever again.
I don't even remember why but I am never buying Samsung again. Was it a TV I owned that died? Was it a washing machine that had some small failure and required a whole board to be replaced? I honestly do not remember but I won't touch their stuff.
They’ve literally just started so it’ll take a while for them to see the problems. But already:

https://energypost.eu/spain-as-renewables-rise-managing-supp...

We’ve already carried out this experiment. Rooftop solar is a luxury good that doesn’t actually reduce fossil fuel dependence.

Thankfully Spain has learned the lesson of California & is only giving a wholesale rebate on the bill meaning you’ll never make money from rooftop solar:

https://www.ecovidahomes.com/blog/can-you-sell-electricity-b...

But that doesn’t change the math that using public funds to incentivize rooftop solar is a populist direction that isn’t actually a good idea for the grid. Once enough rooftop solar is installed, watch the grid in Spain start to struggle financially if they haven’t priced the T&D hookup fee correctly (+ expect that fee to rise over time). All that being said, Spain & Europe are slightly different stories - they have a unified electricity grid I believe which lets them export their surplus. Not sure if that actually works for rooftop solar but may help mediate some of the problems that we have in the US.
As for your first question, they do that with local search.

But, also as an answer to your first question, no, there is no money in this that will show up on the next quarters income sheet.

As it is, the biggest way to deal with Google is regulations of breaking up search engines and ad networks. As long as Google controls the money making on the internet they'll be near unbeatable.
Yeah, statistical things like that need to be pre-calculated and cached for best performance.

When you first get stuff working doing a query is easier and faster. At some point you remove it and move to counters that are updated via your data pipe.
When I learned to play (late, in my early 30's) I eventually gave up on the driver and used a 3-wood instead, for exactly this reason. I got more effective distance because I could hit the ball quite straight with the 3-wood. Probably wouldn't have occurred to me to do this if I had been learning in my teens or early 20's.

I was a fan as well, until my Samsung TV broke, then my fold phone lost sound when open and the screen started cracking right after the warranty ( all known issues ). I complained to a few people and found they had issues with TV's and appliances as well.

I very much agree with Tufekci, the safety of air travel is a testament to the people who achieve it - it demonstrates their ability to build expensive, elaborate, and effective institutions and processes that are commensurate to the immense task they're tasked with.

The Boeing Max failures may prove to be the beginning of the end - they're the exact kind of failures that show the system is coming apart - these failures are institutional and political, as opposed to freakish corner cases of technology and physics.

Right now air travel safety seems to be teetering. And true to the indicator that it is, so are we.
I bought a washing machine from them and it had continuous problems for several months, until I got a refund.

The Tandy 1000 series was so successful that "PCjr" compatible games almost immediately rebranded their packaging to say "Tandy compatible" instead.

Oh, it’s very much possible to create AI models with copyrighted materials. The “impossible” part is turning said AI model into a cash cow without fairly compensating the original rights holder.
It sounds possible but pretty limited in usefulness. Almost all cookie usage is session tokens and tracking tokens. There is no point syncing these.

I suppose you could sync locally stored preference data but this is pretty uncommon since you could just store the data with your account. Would just be adding more complexity to the browser for a feature that very few would use properly, and likely many would abuse.
> So, for example, the SoC's GPU IP-core.

That's assuming you're trying to mix and match ecosystems and put the GPU in the ARM SoC. But if the thing supports generic PCIe cards, you don't inherently need an iGPU, you can put a Radeon or GeForce in a PCIe slot, or use any of the smaller GPUs from the x86 ecosystem as you might find on a server system board.

Moreover, the assumption is that the company doing it is one of the ones making chips for phones rather than e.g. Nvidia or AMD. Nvidia already has the expertise to deal with ACPI and PCIe from making PC GPUs. AMD has more than that, they could pair ARM or RISC-V cores with their existing Radeon iGPUs and slot it into their existing CPU sockets, potentially with as little as a firmware update for existing system boards.
An irreversible permissionless way to send funds near-instantaneously to anyone anywhere in the world is pretty darn good at a lot of perfectly legal use cases. My personal favorite example is that I once used Bitcoin for an emergency so my (then-homeless) friend could receive cash in hands from a Bitcoin ATM, in a matter of less than 1 hour, on a Sunday, while I was vacationing remote. Nothing, and I truly mean it because we searched, nothing else would have worked that fast: try setting up a new Western Union/MoneyGram account online on a Sunday, and have it verified and activated... nope. Fun thing is my friend had never used Bitcoin before that day. Bitcoin ATMs are a very convenient gateway to "cash in hands", when needed.

Not without me giving them the "Have you escaped from an institution" look they don't. And you judge yourself as you judge others. If I were to say "Add eggs to shopping list" on the bus, I'd instantly feel the stares of a dozen people as I look on my phone in shame (That's whether or not I'm alone on the bus). And my shame is justified too.

the screen looks like it may be too small for people who have vision problems - no idea if one can adjust the text size used. But the device does "say" the text, so if the user has decent hearing, they could rely on the audio versus reading the text.

Now if multiple in the same area were using this device, it may get chaotic/confusing, but no moreso than multiple people having loud voice conversations in one place.
Not just companies.

Bureaucracies get a bad rap, but the idea that everyone needs to follow the same process for every case is pretty novel in human history.
> We are in a trend where risk is increasing

Is there any data supporting this? From what I can tell, the trend from both IATA [0] and ASN [1][2] data appears to be down. Any small YoY increase [3] in 2020 being attributable to PS752 shot down by Iran and an Embraer EMB-120RT shot down over Somalia. This downward trend seems to go for fatal and non-fatal accidents.

I completely agree with the need for oversight in this situation where corners appear to be cut and the FAA seems to be abdicating responsibility, but changing personal behavior requires some real data which I simply don't see.

Agreed; I only meant a good cultural filtering approach for a company with poor intentions. (Approach students with an inappropriate flex of power, scaring away the people who'd object to things like that, and attracting the people who want to be part of that.)
You're right! I just misspoke. Also, honestly, /The Galaxy and the Ground Within/ is IMO the least compelling of the series, but I'm more of a "space opera" fan and thus wasn't crazy about the calm, contemplative, almost-nothing-is-happening tone of it. Now that I analyze it this way, they kind of trend in that direction, with the Monk and Robot books being even more that way and /Angry Planet/ being almost pure space opera.
> attrition, drop in quality, services turn shitty, loss of revenue, repeat

Execs are lauded for cutting costs, parasitically enrich themselves on the carcass of a once-productive business, jump ship to a new host before it all comes crashing down, repeat.
> 1m in revenue is fine, 20% per install fee (which is sketchy to track to begin with) after 200k downloads was ludicrous for an indie, especially on mobile.

Yeah. But realistically nobody would have paid that much since it would have been cheaper to just update to pro to increase the cap to 1 mill

The funniest thing is that you couldn’t even use Personal if your revenue was above $200k before the price changes in theory there wasn’t a single developer who would have pay the 0.2$ fee per install it at the time of the announcement.. yet it was the source of most of terrible headlines.

it was such an absurd idea for them to even include it (instead of sticking with the 200k cap as they ended up doing afterwards).
Per: https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2023/12/05/an-update-on-twitch-in-...

Ultimately, the cost to operate Twitch in Korea is prohibitively expensive and we have spent significant effort working to reduce these costs so that we could find a way for the Twitch business to remain in Korea. First, we experimented with a peer-to-peer model for source quality. Then, we adjusted source quality to a maximum of 720p. While we have lowered costs from these efforts, our network fees in Korea are still 10 times more expensive than in most other countries. Twitch has been operating in Korea at a significant loss, and unfortunately there is no pathway forward for our business to run more sustainably in that country.

Korean implements a "Sending Party Network Pays" tax.
Part of the issue with 3 is that the changes were so minor that they were just annoying. Like 2/3 now equals 0.66 instead of 0, thanks for the hard-to-find bugs. `print "foo"` no longer works, cause they felt like it. Improvements like str being unicode made more sense but were quite disruptive and could've been avoided too, just add a new type.

What I would've preferred is they leave all that stuff alone, add nice features like async/await that don't break existing things, and make important changes to the runtime and package manager. Python's packaging is so broken that it's almost mandatory to have a Dockerfile nowadays, while in JS that's not an issue

Most likely do to some process resulting in separation by density. You’d probably also need a geologist to contribute who understands previous states of earth. I’d hazard a guess that most of it occurred over time which much of earth was in a sort of fluid hot state and things clumped together. Structures you see today might be due to the surrounding materials that also tended to clump and how things cooled over time (slow, fast, etc.) There’s also the fact earth still has active convection going on heating things up, spinning them around, letting gravity pull, rising up, cooling, and then more complex motions like plate tectonic movement, fracture, etc. I suspect it would be pretty difficult to say exactly why any specific mineral deposits tend to follow the structures we find them in due to how complex the process is but someone may know.

At what point does a 46.19 MILLION per cent gain become insufficient?
This was discussed here [0]. The tl;dr is that South Korea has the opposite of net neutrality: instead of charging the consumer for excess bandwidth, they charge the service providers. Streaming video is extremely bandwidth-intensive, so Twitch can't afford to keep streaming if they're charged for every GB.

Personally- I'll say it plainly, I hope I won't offend anyone- I think that it is a sick joke to worry about the greenhouse gas emissions of an activity that is purposefully killing people now, creating refugees and destroying cities now. The indirect effects of the purposeful massacre of tens or hundreds of thousands- effects presumed, projected, of uncertain magnitude, extrapolated from statistics and confined to some safely distant future- should not be even mentioned for respect of all those who are in the trajectory of the bullets and the bombs now, and certainly not by anyone or any organisation that isn't spending every last drop of ink in trying to stop the killing now.
