This is also true of DOC. It was just a dump of the internal representation of Word.

Hence why they had to completely overhaul it with DOCX/XLSX when we had the open standards requirements come in. There was no possible way for Microsoft to document it. Although it doesn't help that DOCX/XLSX have tags for "Internal binary dump of Word/Excel" so they also fall into the same trap.
Could you share some other "culture shocks" from game dev?
Well basically if you spend more money to prevent fraud of monetary value that is less than amount spend to prevent it, you loosing money by preventing fraud.

But this logic is only applicable for things that on both ends measure in money.
Are you doing this in a team setting?
Maybe they did this to help the phone find it's owner?
Great read, thanks for sharing. Interesting to think about the role AI would play in theory building.
Hey same! I made https://ratethispad.com and it was a lot of fun to make. (Nobody uses it though...)

I would love to see your project as well.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to move the whole HATEOAS thing towards things like desktop and mobile apps. Might be a fun experiment.
It seems pretty clear. That article is just an example of the craziness I was describing. Notably: having a unified ID structure has a ton of upsides, and "preventing terrorism" seems fully orthogonal. Additionally, we already have IDs that register humans into databases and are tracked when people travel, it's just that the databases are disjoint and thus even more error prone because they're run individually by states.

The way you can tell this article is crazy is by noticing lines like this:

> When a police officer or security guard scans your ID card with his pocket bar-code reader, for example, will a permanent record be created of that check, including the time and your location?

This is already what happens. The police officer logs your interaction alongside your drivers license (or non-driver ID) number. Transposing a nationally-unified ID scheme for the current state-based scheme doesn't increase the amount of logging, it substitutes one log for another.
The SE is very good for speed for money yes.

However it severely lacks on other mod cons compared to android midrange phones. An android at this price point will offer a bezelless display, in-display fingerprint, oled display at 120Hz.

The SE's design is really quite dated now. It beats the Android competition at SoC speed but nothing else. In particular the screens on Android are so much better at this price range. And that's the main thing you interact with.

IMO the Android midrangers are much better offers all round. And Apple doesn't even have anything to compete with android budget phones (150-300$). Which usually also offer amoled bezelless displays and 90 or sometimes even 120 Hz.
I grew in a rural village, many of my class mates were literal fucking mountain farmers. Some of us went to Prague at age 15. Over the years we have been many places. Its traditional for young people to get Interrail and travel around Europe.

People taking the train to Amsterdam is incredibly common. Taking the train for Vacation to Northern Italian (like Venice) is super common. Visiting Paris is super common by train.

Trains are use for all sorts of reasons both professional and not. And a wide range of different people is on the train, you see bushiness people in suits and you see fucking stoners going to raves you see families you see tourist from outside of Europe.

And the waste majority of people I talk to prefer to go by train and only use planes if it really a major improvement.
From my understanding, the copyright is held by the photographer unless you have a contract stating such. I was shocked that most wedding photographers consider giving up copyright a deal breaker (unless you pay a huge amount more): https://www.reddit.com/r/WeddingPhotography/comments/10esy2i...

edit: If you are working as a employee (think W-2), it is different. Just hiring someone to take pictures (think 1099/contractor), I think is not covered under the same rules.
It doesn't. Auto-Lock would have had to be explicitly disabled.

The person who found it said in a Tiktok video linked in the Twitter replies below that the phone didn't have a lock on it so he opened it up to that mail page.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, but this is absolutely common corporate PR 101 practice.

They follow social media, reddit, etc all the time, and if there's an organic story that's good for their brand, they forward it to friendly journalists, provide context on background, etc.

If it's bad for their brand, they search all their internal systems using whatever information they can find and/or correlate, escalate it, and deal with it behind the scenes.
This is true. And sadly the big state monopolies have been lobbying against the airline like system of bookings. They don't want to be responsable for connection like airlines are. And they don't want to compete on a level bases either. They don't want open ticketing information.

The EU approach to rail improvement is incredibly flawed.

And all the different monopolies have their own dumb as opinion about things. French system is run by a bunch of airline manager idiots. German can't make their IT work for shit. And so on.
That’s great to hear. I’m sorry again about that poor experience, and please do reach out if you have any other feedback!

I thought this article was going to be somehow less intuitive, but in reality, it simply says something most people inherently understand: that you have to grease the skids a bit to make things work. Dressing it up in academic sloganeering doesn't make the insight all that much more powerful.

I think most people understand that a risk-free society is a poor society. Take driving: the safest way to drive is to not get in the car at all. Similarly, the best way to save yourself from credit card fraud is not to have a credit card. But does this justify driving like a maniac, or being careless with your personal information? Of course not.

In other words, the article simply points out that categorical thinking (1 or 0) is useless in this context (as it is in most contexts, to be honest). The meaningful question is what degree of fraud we should be willing to accept, and in what contexts.
The US has like 6 Super-Metro complexes that are all perfect for trains.

- Great Lakes

- North East

- Texas Triangle

- Florida Super City

- Bay Area

- Southern Cali

And of those the Lakes and the North East are perfect to connection. In all of them trains are massively underused.

Frankly some of these couldn't be more perfectly placed for trains.

But I do agree with your point. You need good local public transport. Or in more general terms, land use. Infill development, bikes and reliable bus system that is not designed to serve only poor people that don't have other options.
Not the OP but I bothers me too. The longevity is not really a benefit for the SE as it is because in 5 years the design and display will feel even more outdated.

Yes I also buy Android but I might not have if Apple had a decent midrange.

Ps Samsung offers really long support now too.

The Missing Billionaires: A Guide To Better Financial Decisions, by Victor Haghani & James White.

This book covers wide ranging topics within investing, hedging, personal finance, lifecycle investing and asset pricing.
One of the key ideas is recognizing comprehensively that investing and spending are both simultaneous goals of lifecycle investing.
It is absolutely refreshing to see the basics of investing revisited in a theoretically sound & rigorous framework.

Hyperloop does not contain cars, that a vacuum tube system. I think you are talking about the normal small tunnels from the Boring company, that's just called loop.

And its not actually useful or effective outside of a few specialized situations. Like in Switzerland where you only have 1 tunnel and no actual car tunnels. So all cars have to get on trains.

This sounds like a pretty cool idea. I'm assuming it isn't open source, but do you plan on allowing data sync without any sort of cloud offering? E.g. either sync to a local directory, webdav/etc, or allow self-hosting a sync service.

Even with e2ee, I don't really want to store my documents somewhere I don't control. And if you're targeting businesses, some businesses won't even look at the product if they can't control the data completely.

The way I see it for you Marc, you spent 6 years building an audience on Twitter. Shipfa.st has a very short shelf life. The audience and trust of startup founders/lovers in the ecosystem has lasting value.

Any ideas on how to capitalize on that?
Light. Big screens. High drag to weight ratio.
So does Samsung. My work A52s is 3 years old, still going strong and getting all the latest os upgrades.

For my private phone I bought an S23 flagship. Fastest SoC you can buy from Qualcomm and 120Hz oled, real dualsim, Telefocus camera. And that for less than 100€ more than an iPhone SE :)

I also love the added features like the DeX desktop mode, I use it a lot at work where our computers are severely locked down. Just plug the phone into the docking station and i have my personal pc with 5G unrestricted uplink.
Business people won't buy because it is "AI". Don't conflate the opinions of tech bloggers with the pragmatic demands of people running businesses.

A grizzled old business person once said to me: "Show me how it makes me money or saves me money." If you aren't well versed in a specific business domain, you will struggle to demonstrate the benefits of your "solution".

Another problem I have encountered is that large firms (those with the most money to spend) only want to deal with vendors who also are large firms.
So riddle me this; do those who know C & Verilog have a better idea of how the whole C->Assembly->MachineCode->Physical Processor circuitry works? I don't mean the logical model; but how exactly the program bitstream gets transformed into electrical signals by their HDL code.
Very important to remember that hedge funds are about maintaining liquidity even during downturns, index funds have built in diversification, but they still match the general market. Hedging has opportunities to have cash available, or commodities that hold their value (including volume to convert it into liquid cash) to make other bets on the way back up.

This is also why a lot of investment advice from time immemorial includes diversifying from stocks to bonds and other, more stable instruments as you age (e.g. commodities, real estate, etc.).

There's also other things about having a stable volume of trade being good, e.g. reduce the likelihood you are affected by runs, e.g. SVB in 2022, or oil prices in the height of COVID19 panics and supply shocks.

A Free Short Story: The Dead Courtesan Speaks

I say this from direct corporate experience working directly with Apple, so I don't mind the downvotes, just people who have no idea what's going on.
Posting it online to find owner is absolutely unnecessary. The phone could be returned to the owner by contacting the airline.
Because you’ve gotten to know it. If you chatted to a human for the same amount of time, you could identify their style.
This isn’t surprising - there was a wired story about phones surviving from planes back in 2011 (1)

The gist is that it’s a light object and due to that + broad shape, its terminal velocity is not very high. Coupled that with the mass and there’s not a lot of force on landing. Of course the phone itself is fragile so it might not take a lot of force to break. Still, as long as it lands on something soft it might be ok, as we’ve seen!

You don't need very many device drivers to run in a VM.

The real question is, how useful is a non-C-compatible, non-Linux-compatible, VM-only OS. Maybe a little bit, for microservices?
Fragmented sentence. Please rewrite your comment.

[Edit] I guess someone doesn't get the joke about how bad Words grammar checker is. It used to flag so much stuff as "fragmented" and didn't suggest improvements.
I'd love if Zig became the new C, but I think Rust is closer to that title. It even is on the Linux kernel and growing there daily.
I was once speaking with a group of AAA game developers at Steam Dev Days discussing how to balance random interactions with gameplay. I think everyone with me had worked on larger teams and discussed complex solutions to create balance. My solution was much simpler and was similar to the random walk example in the article - each event of being grabbed by a zombie was generated based on a random chance that only initialized after X seconds from the last time you were grabbed.

The group of AAA devs laughed it off as not being feasible but our game had market validation (10m+ downloads). It made the game fun and eliminated the "I can't believe I got randomly grabbed twice within 5 seconds" type of interactions that make you want to quit.

We also observed a lot of panicked players jumping, twisting and doing everything but hitting 'shove' the 'V' key - especially streamers. So we added in support for being able to jump repeatedly/shake to get out of a grab.

Random is too random when it comes to gameplay enjoyment for sure.

This is a very good write-up on solutions to the random placement (2D) and random interaction over time (1D) problems without resorting to less savory solutions like I made.

A lot just use clickbait titles because financially it makes a lot of sense, a few have even show the numbers from their videos and clickbaity thumbnails/titles always bring more views, so yeah its not a useful signal of quality because we live in a capitalist society and its in their best interest to make money regardless of the quality of their content; another commenter just told me about dearrow (https://dearrow.ajay.app/), a chrome extenstion that crowdsources better titles, that seems even like more effort than I was thinking, as my idea is to use AI, so there is defintely some interest in the feature, but perhaps dearrow already fills that need.
It is not very smart to find owner this way, when you can just reach the airline, which has contacts of all passengers.
Idk if it's "the Unix family". Clouds are running with SmartOS for example with containers running on bare metal and I've not heard of security issues with this model.
The sibling comment is correct, but to be a little more specific, when a carrier transmits a call into the phone system, one of the metadata fields in that transaction is the Caller ID of the calling party. It may sound asinine, but the infrastructure we've built for the PSTN basically requires it.

If you're interested in what's being done about it and the history of how it got this way, the STIR/SHAKEN wiki article has good details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN
They’re also broad and flat, and very likely to tumble unaerodynamically on their way down.

I think whether or not their words amount to bias is up for debate, but I don't object to that subject being brought up in addition to the subject under discussion so far.

>and not address their other argument.

This part I don't agree with. That other argument is completely independent, and worth pursuing. Abandoning it completely is conceding defeat on that front.
You’re only seeing part of the picture. There are definitely hedge funds outperforming the market but their strategies aren’t scalable for obvious reasons. These funds make great returns for clients as long as they stay “small” enough to stay nimble and fly beneath the radar.
So then why would Carta acquire underwater equity?
I convert my root certs from digital to proteomic storage and inject it directly into my veins. I've programmed my immune system to go into total systemic shock if the certs have been compromised.
WebComponents are also nicely alive. Wish we saw some solidarity from other programming in an alive world/language of the gods camps.
Out of curiousity, why would a small kernel take a whole 200ms to start on a modern computer? Wouldn't it need to initialize some metadata for the memory pages, mount the filesystem, and try to launch an init process? I suppose there might be an ethernet driver and possibly something to pipe logs to ("stdout" for the VM) to initialize. Shouldn't that all take a few microseconds?

Or is all the slowness in the host preparing the resources? (as in QEMU and KVM?)
How you feel about reliable national ids really comes down to "do you trust the state or not".

Error-prone-ness is a feature for people who want the state to be less powerful.

Personally I think that for purely practical reasons national ids are good infrastructure.

I don't think in 2023 a "weak" national identity system offers much protection against an adversarial government.
> How long will it take until some advanced multimodal algorithm can make a full game that can measure up to ones that are released today?

We can disagree on how long it will take us to get there, but if you use AI generated content, that is not product by copyright, your game as whole, sure, as long as it is not the result of a simple prompt, you're protected as usual.

Keep in mind that already, in many games, there is a mix of protected and unprotected content, for reasons of trademark, copyright, and licensing.
This looks awesome! I really like that you have nicely organized pointers back to the reference document for each section along with diagrams!

It is also cool that this is written for the actual use-case of encoding instructions for a compiler. Being a lisper myself, I will probably start reading this series from scratch.

I also found a youtube video called "X86_64 Instruction Encoding - Compiler Programming Ep4"[0] which I added to my encoding resources[1] post.

I am hoping to add your link there as well, once I read through it.
