This is true. But it would be a mistake to see the legislative options for the US towards crypto to be as straightforward as its options for its own share market. With crypto, there is far more potential for unintended consequences that would push activity off-shore. That would result in reduced control.

> They can happily regulate on and off ramps, and enforce traceability etc for anything that touches the 'real' economy though, should they wish.

But what good is that? All you get is traceability for people with nothing to hide. You can't actually prevent on and off ramps because anybody could go to the black market digital currency dealer (whose operations are conveniently situated near the local drug dealer) and exchange digital currency for anything that can be easily pawned, or cash, and the people you'd actually be interested in tracing just do that.

Which makes the KYC/AML rules de facto optional for anyone already breaking the law, but you're still inconveniencing anyone abiding the law because you e.g. can't have an anonymous vending machine because the machine would be required by law to verify your identity before accepting your money. Which is ridiculous when the vending machine sells candy bars and perverse when it sells contraceptives.

American shoppers are fickle. They arrive in cars, they find the best deals, and they leave.

Malls are expensive. They have huge parking lots to accommodate vast numbers of customers but their prices aren’t competitive. Americans quietly took their business elsewhere (Walmart and Amazon).

How do you justify using AI for your game art? I have thought about this, and couldn't justify it. I also know that I hold on to morals almost to a stubborn degree.

So instead I recently started learning Blender, texturing, drawing and while it takes time to get to where I want, I'm passionate enough to learn the craft instead of "cheating", as I unfortunately see it.

EDIT: To add, I don't put games which revolve around AI as a mechanic to this same category. They're a new thing and they're cool for exploring the frontiers.

The world is a bit more complicated I think.

The US is the leading power (west) - but I don't think you can call Iran and NK russian satellites. They do their own thing and they don't really like each other - they are just united against the US. And China is in the same boat.

And south america is a big factor on its own as well, etc. etc.

A convenient fact is that file descriptors are just numbers, and the lowest available number is always used when creating a new socket, so it's naturally easy to just keep all your structures in a giant array and use the fd into index into it to retrieve the structure that represents the connection.

From there it's just choosing a function to dispatch to based upon epoll event and being exceptionally careful to always use non blocking IO on the underlying fd.

The details are buried in the proposal and make for an interesting read, but the gist is that Clang's C frontend has a "C++ style" auto keyword where a pointer can be declared both with "auto" and "auto*" (and this was already baked into the existing __auto_type extension before C23 came along).

For instance this is valid Clang C23 code (and entirely C23 standard-compliant):

int i = 0;
auto p0 = &i;
auto* p1 = &i;

...both p0 and p1 have the same type of int*.

In GCC this code doesn't compile because GCC already had a simpler "C style" __auto_type extension which doesn't allow the form "auto*", but this behaviour is also entirely valid C23 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

(personally I prefer GCC's version as it makes more sense for C)

This will cause some head-scratching when code that builds on Clang doesn't build on GCC, especially since Clang usually tries to emulate GCC behaviour. But OTH I think/hope that C's auto will only be used when absolutely necessary in "type-generic" macros, and no "almost always auto" nonsense which was fashionable in the C++ world for a while.

I work at a company of roughly over 200 employees that is part of a much bigger org. Layoffs never happen where I am working. And one factor may be that HR has a different, in some cases personal relationship with their employees. That is certainly not the case in the parent org where large-scale layoffs happen every few years.

Edit: And I would not even attest that my company is one of those with a "heart", as you say.

Thank you for your write-up, I ran into similar issues a couple of months back.

Another gripe with the technical implementation of mastodon is the CORS headers required to access the ActivityPub API [0].

Because of this issue, an activitypub-aware frontend for mastodon has to have its own mastodon server running, which adds a whole bunch of hurdles.

Steam is already filled with low quality games, without any AI. But they're mostly either unremarkable clones or one-off shitposts made as a reaction to something, not "low-effort trash to get rich quick". This scheme doesn't make much sense on Steam which is organized like a ladder where games compete for attention, unlike the books on Amazon which is flat in structure, and your low-effort garbage can pass for a legitimate book at first and is guaranteed to attract someone.

Cheap AI-generated features will fill every game, of course. It's inevitable and will soon pass, just like every trend - bloom shaders, piss filters, cloning minecraft and battle royale, etc. Some of it will stay, like hiding the lack of developer-hours behind the low-res pixelart. Some of it will be even good!
Assistant is included on most Android devices nowadays.

Assuming smartphones in general have 90%+ market penetration, 42% market share for Android, and an average household size of 3, it seems reasonable to assume that 50%+ of households will have at least one device running Assistant.
I don't know of any countries where you're not allowed to make an offer.

But if you offer packages to people who are underqualified or underperforming for the terms they currently enjoy, it may require a very high sum to make them sign it.

And in markets where every job basically come with the same terms as academic tenure, people will be less worried that the company will play hardball and just fire them without compensation if the package is refused.

However, most if not all European countries allow layoffs, even though the terms of the layoffs may have to be approved by the union in a few places, or at least have the selection criteria for who gets laid off made public.

And if some department can be stuffed full of all underperformers, it can serve as a convenient proxy for performance to lay off mostly from that department, based on lack of profitability there.

I'm sure this happens in the US, too, at least if it turns out that a higher fraction of those on the way out belong to some protected identity group, which may easily be the case in tech companies where essential developers are disproportionality male and/or asian/white, while various support staff, account managers etc are recruited from a more diverse pool.

> You can be somewhere for 10 years

Our organization has a policy that it hires developers on 3-year contracts, and renews them no more than two times. So when you have reached 9 years in the org; when you have become intimately familiar with the domain, and the codebase, and the way the org works etc., you are out.

I am still incredulous that someone has thought that yes, this is exactly how an organization should manage its software engineers.

True. Many modern "TV shows" can hardly be called such in the traditional sense. They are basically serialized (very long movies) and mainly an evolution of the mini-series format.
> An all-powerful god who creates subjects that are capable of failing a test of his own devising, even though he totally could make everyone adequate if he so chose, such a god is an evil sadist

That wouldn't be called a test. That would be perfect beings who follow the commands of god. (which already exist and are called angels)

> It'd be like making up rules for what constitutes an evil pixel in Conway's game of life and punishing those pixels for their transgressions. You controlled every parameter.

If we set the rules and command those pixels you to follow the rules otherwise we punish you. And those pixels had free will but still chose to transgress. Wouldn't be fair to punish them?

> Those pixels failed the test because you set them up for preordained failure.

You have free will. You chose to transgress and revoke god even though the signs were obvious. God knows the outcome because he is all-knowing but you now have the freedom to do whatever you want. Your actions are not forced.
>The decline of the mall is an American thing, and its reasons are not entirely clear.

Good tools change the way you work. Imagine if version control systems were notoriously unreliable and difficult to get working. You'd be saying "nobody needs their entire commit history, if you need a version create a source archive and back it up".

But version control systems do work, so we use them, we keep history and we tag releases and don't really need to bother with source archives any more.

Nobody is saying history is a substitution for documentation or an audit trail or anything else, but it is a useful tool if it works. Consider a case where you're exploring a new dataset you find online. You download it into a directory, run some commands to transform it, load it into a database etc. You don't know if this will ever be useful. But if it does turn out to be useful, you now have a log of everything you did to get there. Trying to document everything up front would be insane and you'd never get any exploratory work done.
Could even be "fuel trimming" between front and back wings; with the drawback that the action would be limited during both full and empty fuel states.
> Most other countries lack all-in-one stores like WalMart/Target

That's patently untrue. The "hypermarché" has been a staple in France since at least the 1980's for example. They're also ubiquitous in Portugal and Spain. They're also a thing in Germany (though I get the impression there that they are less popular and came later than in France).

And those are only the countries I have direct experience with.

Quite the contrary, Microsoft earns free advertisement from this. The problem is for the people that misunderstand the heading, not for Microsoft

I think you've done a great explanation expansion except I believe it's ALiBi ("Attention with Linear Biases Enables Input Length Extrapolation"), a method of positional encoding (i.e. telling the Transformer model how much to weight a distant token when computing the current output token).

There are ready made ActivityPub signature algorithms for all kinds of languages. If you're planning on implementing them yourself, you could try finding an existing implementation to get inspiration from in a language that suits you but I don't agree that there are only Typescript examples.

As for the HTTPS thing: last time I messed with ActivityPub, I solved that problem with a Let's Encrypt wildcard certificate that I copy between hosts, but there are ActivityPub servers that will let you run in debug mode and federate over HTTP.

I think the problem with implementing ActivityPub is that the protocol looks deceptively simple at first glance, and people seem to expect it to be somewhat like RSS. However, when you actually start implementing it, you realise how many edge cases the protocol needs to deal with (and doesn't deal with).

The signature is a relatively small hurdle (it's an RSA public key encoded in base64, almost every language I know has a library to do the hard parts) but it's one of many. ActivityPub isn't a protocol you just tack onto your code in an afternoon, especially if you don't like using external libraries, even if it looks like it's just a bunch of JSON.
That's what publicly traded companies are. They literally can't do "this is going well, let's continue going well", because in that case there'd inevitably be someone out there who thinks "but it could go even better". And with their optimistic projections, they are willing to pay more than even the happiest "yay, this is going well and will go well forever" considers the shares to be worth. Ownership by the biggest optimist is inevitable and when they discover that their hopes were unfounded and there's no even bigger optimist the take the bag, they'll rather burn the house for an imagined chance of still winning than accept the losses.

(VC funded is no different of course, that's just a shortcut to arrive at the optimism-race without ever going through "this is going well")
Agree.

It triggers me a little when folks complain about HTTPS. Nowadays you have a wealth of tools to trivialize TLS certificate tasks.

Public TLS cert? LetsEncrypt + certbot (or any of the other zillion great ACME clients/libraries out there).

Self-hosted PKI for private/test use? Smallstep CLI (https://smallstep.com/docs/step-cli/) is good. And honestly, the raw `openssl` commands to barf out a root selfsigned cert aren't that difficult and number as less than 5 shell invocations that you could have in your history or a bash function or something.

Self-hosted PKI with extra steps that you already did because you have a Kubernetes cluster for some other reason? cert-manager will take care of pretty much everything.

These days the "hardest" part is sneaking your CA chain into the appropriate browsers / services you're using/testing, but even that is a few moments of inconvenience at best.

You misunderstood. I mentioned that American crime rates are higher than in Europe, and that this might be part of the problem.

And you've never been to a WalMart or Target if you think that something like Lidl is remotely comparable. Offhand, I'd say that the American versions of those stores are anywhere from 3-20x larger, and I'm not at all exaggerating.

Google is increasingly treating Android as an iOS alternative for the developing world and outsourcing core Android development to its Indian offices.

I disagree. Transactions are the wrong way to handle this. The right way to do this is to send a query which says:

"If sending account has more than $10: Decrease sending account by $10. Increase receiving account by $10. Return what happened."

The database should be able to do the above (or any other query) atomically. Under normal circumstances (e.g. barring a network failure or similar), this should never fail. The reason a transaction is necessary is because the above would typically be handled by 2-3 separate queries:

- Start transaction

- Check sending balance

- [Client-side code]

- Increase one account

- [Client-side code]

- Decrease the other

- Finish transaction

Having this back-and-forth can cause this to fail, and network latency means that it often DOES fail.

A database could implement this internally with transactions and retries (in which case, the application programmer doesn't need to think about it and therefore have bugs there), but that's probably the wrong way to do it. There are many more reasonable ways, such as locks in rows + ordering operations, rearranging data, or otherwise.

From the perspective of the programmer, this SHOULD be atomic. There is no reason why everyone writing a financial system needs to be competent at managing these sorts of parallel consistency issues. The current model introduces potential for a lot of consistency bugs, performance issues, and other problems. Transactions also introduce a lot of unnecessary complexity to the store itself.
