Because of who will decide is responsible and on what grounds?

What will come of it will most likely be analogous to the Communist system where just a central committee was in charge of making all the decisions. and to be quite clear: this system failed utterly and completely. Without the capitalist west there would have been famines in DDR and the east.

On what I agree is, that we need a strong state factoring in stuff like ecological consequences via taxation- so the decision to buy or make stuff is distributed.

Prince's death was posted on HN and had basically the same criticism. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11543668
I find the negative reception here confusing. Seems to me they got removed from a marketplace, so they launched their own. They put the announcement into an article about the thing that motivated what's being announced. That is generally what you do, because otherwise the article would leave you with the impression that you have no option going forward, and a follow-up would reach fewer people. Just doesn't make sense.

Also, I'm no Unity expert, but C# integrations generally use PInvoke right? It's the most dynamic of linking, there's really no inherent reason LGPL libs can't be used in Unity games. At worst, Unity should make sure you know your obligations, but I don't understand the necessity of a blanket ban. I'd be very surprised if VideoLAN, a well-respected organization that has been doing open source work for a very long time, had such a fundamental misunderstanding of the software licenses they use.

Either way, a request: please stop using "clickbait" to describe literally anything you don't like. The article is chiefly about their ban, even the announcement is. By all means, critique whatever you want, but that's simply not what clickbait is. Clickbait is more like "actually we didn't get banned, But..."

I was in the same boat as a Leviton HomeKit switch early adopter. Between poor firmware and a critical Ubiquity UniFi AP multicast bug, it was frustrating. Eventually both were updated and the switches have been solid since.
No, you do not have to provide any project files, even when everything is linked statically.

Static linking can be split into two linking steps, first everything except the LGPL libraries can be linked into a big ELF object file, which no longer contains any information about the internal structure and the internal symbols, exactly like an executable file. The only difference between such an object file and an executable is that it contains unresolved external references, like a dynamically-linked executable.

Then in the second and final linking step, the big binary object file is linked with the LGPL libraries.

For compliance with LGPL it is enough to offer access to the big binary object file for the users who would want to replace the LGPL libraries.
At this point, the web is such a mess that a blocker is like trying to stop military drones with a water pistol. What we need now is a content extractor.
Yeah, this stuff is hard even before you bring memory ordering into the picture. What's worse, checks such as thread sanitizer will not catch it, since it's not a simple data race. Proving functional invariants about multithreaded code requires a different class of tools.

Neural networks will degenerate in the process of learning from their own hallucinations, and humans will degenerate in the process of applying the degenerated neural networks. This process is called "neural network collapse". https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17493v2 It can only be countered by a collective neural network of all the minds of humanity. For mutual validation and self-improvement of LLM and humans, we need the ability to match the knowledge of artificial intelligence with collective intelligence. Only the CyberPravda project is the practical solution to avoid the collapse of large language models.
The fix is kind of weird, no? If the lazy initialization of the widgets fail, won't it stay stuck as failed forever (i.e. until the containing class is destroyed)? Is this intended behavior?

Games and applications distributed on Steam don't have to integrate with Steamworks SDK at all, and when they don't this licensing issue doesn't apply.
That would surprise me.

Based on contact with their support + social media + communication here + being a customer + discord + attending, although infrequently, community calls.

Since you posted the link and I see very little history here, I can't acknowledge your claim of authority yet and I can only suspect, without certainty, personal grievances or conflicts of interests.

Additionally, I find the correlation between the video as a proof of "culture warning" severely lacking.

The details about underperformers in sales and related company actions were explained on investor day around May 2023. This seems correlated to those events...
Is inner voice the same thing as inner speech? I’m interpreting “inner voice” to be a kind of pseudo-personality similar to what people mean by conscience, while inner speech is simply the mental version of speech.

I can understand someone not having an inner voice, but I can’t see how writing is possible without inner speech. Otherwise, how can you have thoughts prior to writing them down?

Also note that the article is titled inner speech, not inner voice.
Note that 1. this is mostly regarding the Steamworks SDK that you link to; sufficient care may be taken to try to make this linkage to Steamworks "compliant" as noted in the article, and 2. this is about GPL, not LGPL. Distributing LGPL code via Steam may introduce some potential murkiness, but it should be mostly kosher since I think Steam doesn't, in and of itself, impede on the user's ability to exercise the rights granted by LGPL.
More stochastic systems isn't a solution lol.
unity only does transpiling for C# to native code if you enable it in your project. it cannot transpile the (presumably) linked native library so this shouldnt be an issue here
One issue with named parameters is that your public function argument names are always part of the public api, and thus any changes are a breaking change. It’s manageable obviously but pretty obnoxious because otherwise variable names are always part of the black box

> When I was living in Sealand >20 years ago (another micronation project), was fun tracking the other projects -- this one was one of the most successful. Liberland and a few maritime efforts were as well.

Liberland was never an attempt at building an actual state, it was just a scam meant to generate PR and extract money out of gullible suckers willing to buy a citizenship of a nonexistent state. Liberland's claimed territory (Gornja Siga) is not exceedingly inhabitable, given that the Danube floods it with water multiple meters deep every so often. And their terra nullius story is a lie, as there was never a chance the existing states that manage Gornja Siga would allow for a rogue state to form.

The other thing is that the Liberland project was only announced in 2015, which doesn't fit your timeframe if I get you right.

> Why are people getting hung up on his hubris? If his megalomania gives us Mathematica who cares.

We've had some bad results taking that approach recently - which we really should have anticipated, with millenia-old stories warning us about it. For one thing, megalomaniacs tend to be frauds (perhaps because, to be a megalomaniac, it's necessary to lie to yourself); maybe Mathematica will turn out to be the FTX, or Tesla auto-pilot, or ..., of mathematical software/languages.

No way - how could that happen? All those people at Mathematica would just go along with it, right? There's no evidence! It would be too brazen!
Oh, that makes perfect sense, thank you
It's all about the ethics of it.

If my employer tells me to call a person and tell them they are fired because they did a bad job, but it's clear that this is not the reason, I would say: sorry, but I'm not going to do that. Remember, it's an "employer", not a "boss".

I think this is a misunderstanding of what a typical hedge fund is. The name comes from the fund hedging its own investments in potentially sophisticated ways. A simple to explain example is a long/short fund: by being good at shorting stocks that won’t go up so much, the fund is insulated from general market crashes (which make the shorts go up) the fund can get more leverage on their long positions. There do exist funds that only short (the best tends to lose a few % a year, iirc) and they would be invested in by other funds instead of picking stocks to short directly.
Agreed, but what are the tradeoffs for Mathematica?
Luckily the text editor has been invented giving you the possibility of endlessly editing your sentence until it makes some sense.

Only half joking. I'm always impressed by those ancient people who could write long letters by hand in beautiful orthography, composing complex texts and make them just flow linearly. I'm sure here and there there would be a rewriting step involved but that can't have been always the case; there was surely practical pressure to get the output right at first try.

Perhaps this skill could be trained but perhaps it also leverages the ability to tap into your inner voice and inner speech

Accretive Growth Logics
These are all valid criticisms. There is no type system, although some safeguards can be implemented through pattern matching and conditions (see the answer by @derf_ above). For quick and dirty transforms on symbolic math expressions, these are often good enough, but it is indeed a mess to use as a full fledge programming language.

I do like that the lispy language itself closely mirrors math expressions, and it is consistently accessible throughout the user interface. For example, the mathematica notebook frontend (IDE) is simply some `MakeBoxes[]` of the expressions, which are all valid mathematica code themselves. I tried sympy a while ago, which I believe took an object-oriented approach, and it was very clumsy when compared to mathematica.

Still, I would not recommend using mathematica for general programming, precisely because of the mentioned shortcomings. By default, it is also impure and not lazy (eager eval, although it can be forced to be lazy on a case by case basis using `Hold` or `Unevaluated`).

In this case the author is using a tool for operating on lists on a thing that's not a list.

It's like they're trying to use a track / plunge saw for cross-cutting a single 2x4. You can do it, but you'll need to rig up some scaffolding (a list) around it in order for the track to have something to balance on. Meanwhile there's a circular saw and a speed square next to you on the table.

It is possible to put filters on function arguments, e.g., the definition

f[x_Integer] := ...

will define a rule for f[] that only matches expressions where the argument to f[] has the head "Integer". It is even possible to use arbitrary predicates:

vec3Q[v_] := VectorQ[v, NumberQ]&&Length[v]==3
f[v_?vec3Q] := ...

This lets you sort-of have type-checking. This is entirely opt-in, so you have to be somewhat rigorous about its use or it does not do any good. Also, in practice if any invocation of f[] does not have arguments which match the types for which you have defined it, the expression just remains unevaluated, which can create a mess (but maybe less of a mess than evaluating the function on input of the wrong form). The performance impact (particularly of the predicate version) is also non-zero, but my experience is that the biggest performance limitations come from trying to keep your machine from grinding to a halt when a runaway expression applied to the wrong thing explodes in complexity and eats all of your RAM... and this helps avoid that.

While I have found this to be very helpful for writing and debugging hairy expressions, I used Mathematica for years before I even knew this was a thing. In reality almost no one does this, certainly not with any consistency, and the situation is as bad as you fear it would be.
Huh. So, after decades of reading about "The artist formerly known as Prince", I finally know what he is now known as. I never cared enough to find out myself and always simply took the weird description in stride ;)
People forget that Apple of today probably wouldn't be around if Microsoft hadn't given them $150M to save them from bankruptcy in 1997[1].

With the introduction of IE in 1995 and its deep integration into Win95 and ruthless take-no-prisoners assault on Netscape, Microsoft was probably already aware that they were starting to resemble a monopoly, given Apple's poor sales and market share at the time. My personal take is that MS propped up Apple to help appear to have a competitor ahead of the Antitrust action in 2001[2].

i don't see what's the big deal here and why she felt like having to put her entitled attitude on display. laying off is like breaking up. no matter how you do it it's always wrong. at least with laying off the process can be greased with a little money and a good reference. and i'm pretty sure she'll get both. instead she gets all railed up about it as if she just discovered that life is not fair. meaning: yes, fight for your right but don't get too hung up about the ethics and details like whether the boss is there or not because who cares?
A favorite past-time of HN when a post with an interesting title on the microsoft.com domain appears, is to guess whether it's Raymond Chen, and then to fawn over Raymond Chen. All very well deserved, but are there any examples of interesting posts on microsoft.com from someone who isn't Raymond Chen discussed here?
If you and your friends declare that you are independent of the country you're actually in and stop paying your taxes, then at some point it's reasonably likely that that country would send an agent to your property and talk to you about your tax bill. So you say "You have breached the Foreign Acts Act 2024 of the Principality of Shrx" and arrest them and you confine them pending a trial (the Foreign Acts Act provides for three years' jail, but doesn't allow the death penalty). The agent's boss realises they never returned and identifies their last known position as your property and you say "this is my country and he has been arrested pending trial for breach of our law". They contact the police and attempt to use violent force to free their agent. You shoot back. Your best friend is shot beside you, and you shoot one of their police. They retreat and wait for more firepower and eventually defeat you. You declare that the police officer who killed your friend is guilty of murder under the Crimes Against the Person Act 2024, whereas they declare that you are guilty of murder and treason under the National Criminal Code. Your body is physically confined to a certain place, decided on by a government, for 23 years until finally you die of cancer, whereas the police officer who killed your friend suffers no unreasonable limitations on his freedom; like the other police officers who did that job, he receives a medal for bravery, and he keeps working as a police officer for another two years until his wife convinces him it's too dangerous now they have a kid, so he joins his dad's lumber business. He does suffer from stress as a consequence of the murder, but the police force pay for twenty-four hours of psychological counselling a year (over and above the 12 hours he gets from the national health insurance system) which helps even if it doesn't completely match the costs during the worst times.

It's clear that the abolition of the death penalty isn't actually all that relevant to this scenario. We can still judge whether or not shrx was the sovereign of his territory or not.
