minecraft or roblox for 3d. Maybe gamemaker or smth similar for 2D.

Anything else & you'll fail, because you're only one on the "team" understanding how things work! :D (not that it's generally a bad thing to fail.. there's always takeaway from that as well)

You can then build a minecraft plugin for some gameplay specifics.

everyhing else (unity, unreal, coding from scratch) will fail you way sooner than you think. imo.
>Same reason I dislike google doodles; not only am I not up on pop culture, I very much don’t want to be.

"I don't own a TV"

Google doodles are hardly "pop culture"; they often honour scientists, artists etc. The point is to raise awareness. Seems like a strange thing to outwardly "dislike".

Depends if you trust the foreign bodies not to be asleep at the wheel.

It’s not so much that Google returns irrelevant results as it is that Google returns results that are optimized for taking as long as possible to glean the information you’re looking for.

Recipes are the classic example. Because Google upranks sites that people spend more time on after a click, most recipe searches yield pages that start with the history of flour milling and what milk is, before eventually getting to the desired recipe 5000 words later.
In what sense is @\: folding? Doesn't it take a list of functions on the left and a thing on the right, and returns the list of values obtained by applying each function to the thing?
What I mean is that this is regulating at the wrong level, or perhaps that regulation is a poor substitute for what might be more useful. If there were more competitors in the phone side of things, then mono app stores would matter less, and if people cared about them, eventually get competed out.

The problem I'm highlighting is that the EU itself hasn't created any phone OSes that have survived to this point. If it were more conducive to that, then regulation, which is a very poor substitute for actual competition, wouldn't be needed.
It does so far - I have not had more than 3 or 4 commits in a single push though so it hasn't broken for me yet. The notes said that if you do have many changes it can run out of memory due to the git plugin it is using.
it is not "1%"

it is "less than 1%"
I am interested, but one thing I have still not quite understood is where to use this family of languages.

As far as I can tell they are best for data analysis but not for heavy numerical computation because most or all of them lack GPU support. is that right or have I got it wrong?

Are there any other use cases?
Isn't it hard to do though? I fear I may be a monster for thinking this, but is the pain of the son and yourself worth it?

Meaning, is all this being done for some hope that the miracle pulls through? What if you knew with absolute certainty there was no recover and no brain activity, only pain.

So this is hard if you have a choice, what is the right choice?
> There’s no way to get there without a breakthrough,” Altman said, during an interview, as reported by Reuters Tuesday. “It motivates us to go invest more in fusion.”

On the face of it this is a really stupid take.

Is he part of a group who sees this as an easy way to access billions in government cash? Or is he just totally unable to come up with a logically sound solution to what he claims is his biggest problem?
Me and my son created a choose your own adventure console game using Repl.It and Python.

It gave us time to go over programming fundamentals but for the most part we just had fun and came up with wacky content for players to progress through. Later, we went back and added static images.

One of the most satisfying things for him was being able to spin up his retro game at school for his friends to play.
my kids and I have tried a bunch of the 2d options and we'd recommend Bloxels for making platform or top down 2d retro style games.

It's very fun to use and it includes everything you need - sound, pixel art editor.

We started playing with it in 2020 and my kids still pick it up and make new little games themselves, without my help.

Downsides: 1) there is no coding at all so you are limited by the features it offers 2) another monthly subscription
And totally private, as in no internet needed?
I work for a retailer and we certainly do not use a third party insurer, and I don't see why any other consumer retailer selling inexpensive merchandise would use insurance. It is priced in.

In fact, we use RFID tracking to know when goods are stolen, not to save money, not to catch shoplifters, but to improve inventory management and ensure that we get a replacement item on the shelf to avoid losing sales.
I agree, and there is great value in standardizing traffic control devices across state lines.

Didn't it come up during the epic lawsuit that google going downhill is irrelevant since most users will use the default no matter how bad it is?
Need is the wrong word there, developers absolutely need it. They may well be able to do better value for money with their own choices, and I appreciate the argument that everything bundled together isn't great, but unlike e.g. the CloudKid data sync Apple also provides at no extra cost, app download bandwidth is mandatory and unavoidable.

I could also go the other way and say that being tax-like is good for the same reason actual taxes are good: that it gets spent on building up an economic environment from which others can profit (at this point one would then want to retort something about democratic values).

But as I'm not hugely interested in defending a trillion dollar company (just giving a historical perspective that 30% was, when it was first announced, an improvement over the status quo), I say that if anyone feels the world has changed enough this is no longer good, it is good to call for change — companies may not be democracies, but the nations they operate in generally are.
So Twitch is only a viable business model once you own enough data centers.
Interesting that the article does not show digg, which killed itself.

On a side note, the current form of digg is interesting, yet somehow poorly done. Go there, sort by year: get only things from 2024, since no way to get 2023 or a rolling year. Not to mention being able to choose all or certain time periods
That would be “compelled speech”, which should not pass Constitutional muster.

I say “should” because the courts have already taken big stinking dumps on all of our supposedly inalienable rights, so who knows how it would actually go.
I've found that quoting single words doesn't even do anything anymore. Quoting phrases still usually keeps them together, although does not always work.
Exactly. Even the transaction costs aren't great:

"Actual transaction costs are estimated around 0.001 cent/tx (at high transaction rates, amortized over billions of transactions, excluding migration costs). Note that this is an early estimate -- and could thus easily be 10x higher." [1]

Transactions costing singular cents [2], and very soon fractions of a cent [3], are already doable on public rollups providing actual control of your own funds, with escape hatches in case the system sequencer falls over [4]. These are, of course, still under heavy development. If privacy is a requirement, there's a zk-rollup for that (or, just use Monero). Not to mention support for social recovery.

This is a very PoS-Ethereum-centric (and L2-scaling-centric) view. There are even cheaper chains that trade L1 decentralization for faster blocktimes, instant finality, and/or much cheaper fees.

The other thing to bear in mind about queues is that once they start showing of symptoms of something being wrong, collapse might be just around the corner or it might not be depending on the nature of the load.

When congestion spikes start showing it is helpful to know some queuing theory to estimate how close the situation is to eating someone's weekend. Congestion collapses are an interesting time because most people don't know queue theory or how to reason using balance equations, it is possible to misdiagnose the problem or waste a stressful few days trying to work out a congestion situation by experiment.
Or it's just boring work. I'm employed as software engineer with no reports as a team of 4 engineers. The project has entered maintenance mode and we just investigate bugs, chase teams we're dependent on, confirm a change works on 4 different versions.. my productivity has tanked.

I'd rather write a new feature with clean code and improve the existing code base in the meantime.
Updating PDFs is very doable. I believe even Adobe Acrobat (the paid version) lets you do minor edits to text in PDFs these days: Maybe not changing entire paragraphs, but definitely changing a date or amount here and there.

Relying on your business partners or colleagues not knowing how to do this seems risky: If you can’t trust them, I’d personally use PDF signatures or at least hashes of the entire file.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check it out.

Generally theme is that women tend to have a good time with me. Some have wanted to take the natural next steps. But I tend not to if I don’t feel the same which is always the case and I end it as soon as it starts getting real because I am either afraid or there is some guilt associated with it. I’m not sure I will talk to my therapist about this. Interesting thing to explore in my next session. Thanks for enlightening.

Also didn’t know about mdma and ssri combination.

I have a good combination of CBT expert and a therapist who prescribes me medicine who share notes so it’s been working for me so far. I tend not to experiment things on my own without their referrals or suggestions. I’ve had bad experience with therapists before so I am very cautious about it.
But that's the odd thing - it has most of the profits, despite the alternatives having the ability to add alternative app stores. Why is that? My guess is because the experience that produces is valuable to people, so they buy it if they can afford it.
Just make companies criminally liable for false advertising that they allow.

If a YouTube video promotes a fake Elon crypto? No problem.

A paid advertisement points to that? Fine Google for every instance it was displayed.

This would cost too much and make advertising impractical? Great. Win/win.
It was certainly a learning experience to lead a fully remote team having only ever done so in an office, but I’m not convinced it’s explicitly more difficult on the whole.

Most offices I’ve been in have had deficient conference room setups and open floor plans, and I’ve come to enjoy the ease with which private conversations, pairing, and ad hoc meetings can happen without being disruptive to others or booking a room way in advance.

I do think that conversations have higher bandwidth in person, and I’ve really missed having a proper big whiteboard to gather around, but I’ve come to realize that this restriction can be a positive forcing function for organizations to write things out and maintain more organized planning documents, which is a desirable outcome.
>About that probability, do you have evidence from the article? I didn't note any.

Agreed, the article was scant on this information, including the one Bruce linked to. I did look it up specifically.

Canada has a bit of a problem with political prisoners(especially when the ottawa police are involved) at the moment, so I wanted to double check. Also a bit of a mislabelling people as things they aren't problem. Nazis, Confederates, etc.

Yeah, the worst it’s when you see the message change and have to wait for it to change back. Takes a lot of brain cycles away from driving.
This misses the point, you can't actually decline this funding. The federal government taxes it out of your state and then gives it back to you with conditions sidestepping the fact it would be brazenly unconstitutional for the federal government to institute these rules directly.

Trump poked the bear with this one by trying to withhold unrelated federal funding to sanctuary cities and Obama got made folks really mad when he tried it with the ACA.
After considerable thought, far before this article landed, I have to agree. I have no problem with AI inventing new things. But purporting to be something else - the potential for confusion is far too great. A human parody that contains obvious clues that even those unfamiliar with the subject would recognize as not being the subject - that's fine. But a near-perfect copy of the subject of satire, that is too far. Way too far. The potential for abuse is far too great.

Obviously, banning such usage will not prevent outlaws and rogue states from doing this very thing. The goal of the banning is to send a clear signal that in our society, we do not accept such things. Much like chemical weapons. It will also help contain the spread of such things in our society even if our enemies try to send it to us, like child pornography.
I tried it again and it worked! Cool project!
There is quite a bit of ambiguity in your wording and questions as others have mentioned.

With that said, would you talk about your experience in the PE hospitals handling insurance? As far as I know, one of the biggest drivers of consolation in hospitals and clinics is smaller operators struggling to deal with insurance. The second is the rising cost of equipment and specialties as far as I know.

> 29 states make it outright illegal for non-licensed persons to own or manage an entity that engages in the practice or medicine.

What is your point? Almost half of the states allow non-licensed persons to own or manage an entity.

A semi-rural hospital in California saw it's doctors unionizing because of the performance metrics it's management imposed on the doctors that threatened their licenses after they were bought out. Do not know if California is one of those states, but it shows the short sighted profit seeking nature that people do not want to find out about the place they had or going to have their surgeries at.
Your voice or your looks are not AI.
I'm not surprised. Of course people are going to say that working remotely helps them be more productive. Working remotely is nice. They're going to say whatever bullshit they can to keep doing it. Instead of arguing about whether it's' productive or not let's just call it what it is: a really nice perk.
The way it works in Poland is that the banks which participate in the blik system (which I think is all or most of the banks with large usership) take care of the link between phone number and account for you. You don't need to register for anything special just provide your number when you open your bank account.

There is no separate app for blik (at least as far as I'm aware) the functionality is integrated into my bank's app.

I’d recommend getting a PS5 and buying Dreams. It’s a fantastic tool for making games, and allows you to bypass the 3D math. Seriously, it’s incredible.
This is a weird article because it points out that queues don’t solve overload but neither do load shedding or back pressure.

All 3 techniques are just different trade offs on what to do in the face of overload. All 3 have negative ramifications for the users of the system. Load shedding reduces availability, back pressure increases complexity and queues increase latency.

In “critical” systems you need all 3. And all 3 can be overloaded. Frankly, your load shedding or back pressure system is probably implemented on a queue one layer down the abstraction.

The Kia Soul and other Kia models can be hotwired in 30 seconds by popping off a plastic panel housing the ignition, inserting something with the dimensions of a USB A male plug, and turning it like a key. It is a huge trend on TikTok for the "Kia Boys" to steal Kias and go joyriding. My insurance company stopped insuring Kias in my area and cities and states are suing Kia over the rampant theft problem caused by bad design.

> I'm tempted to demand cops turn off their body cameras

Police don’t like wearing body cameras because it acts as surveillance of their actions. A citizen can FOIA request body cam recordings and, even though it happens on occasion, it looks bad when the police are not able to procure recordings for an encounter with civilians.

I’ve seen videos of officers seeming to momentarily turn off their cameras as they have conversations amongst each other. They don’t like the surveillance. Don’t demand that the police remove one of the best ways we have of holding their actions to account.

----------------

I also suspect the analysis is off. It appears to regulate only those recordings which “[affect] interstate or foreign commerce“, which would not likely include police activity. That said, “first amendment auditors” may be regulated away with this, seemingly in contradiction to said amendment.
It doesn't matter who agrees Google is delivering less relevant results until someone is delivering significantly more relevant results. As of now, that does not yet exist. It should only be a matter of time, but the only safe assumption is that smart, >$1T companies don't give up on their core businesses too easily.

This is a general problem in business, not just software.

Management are motivated by short term bonuses.

The biggest shareholders are fund managers who get judged on their annual performance (In the UK there are annual performance tables published. I assume it is similar in other countries) so they have a short term outlook as well.

Private equity have a slightly longer term view, but not much more so.

No one has a stake in what happens a decade from now.
This used to be the case when using a computer before the mobile walled gardens took hold.

Non tech savvy people don't even realize they are using Chrome in android or Safari on an iphone. They will never change they just use the default search bar that is on their device.
There was a theory that the islands were settled from america, someone even build a boat to prove it. I think it held out until they reached a settled island in the pacific.
> Less relevant compared to what?

Compared to what the user wanted when they ran the search in the first place.

> It’s not as though I can jump over to DuckDuckGo or Bing and my search quality radically increases. Usually the opposite.

Of course it's a personal anecdote but as a DDG user since 2014 I routinely add !g to my search when the results don't satisfy me (which happen every once in a while, say once a month). This used to help, as most of the time Google had the answer I was looking for and could not find otherwise, but I don't think it happened even once over the past two years: Google is now at least as bad as DDG when it used to be strongly superior.
I'm not sure it's exactly how it will pan out but it's clear that those LLMs are a new existential threat for Google.

They can answer a lot of questions in a lot of ways that Google just cannot.

Yep!

How do you prove that outside of a courtroom?
Thanks! I'm not experienced enough in this domain to have an idea of what that means for the bottom line. I assume that at the scale of a niche app, the cost is close to negligible and you can pay it out of pocket, but I imagine that if Amazon would pre-install something like this on every Kindle, the costs would go through the roof. Speaking in broad terms, how much scale do you think an app like this could handle, while still being something an individual might consider worthwhile to pay for out of pocket?
And how is it that incompetent or drunk people are allowed to fly airplanes? That is still only a proximal cause of the failure; there are systemic issues if this is something that happens with any kind of frequency at all.
I will hopefully soon join an on-site only work place with the pre-2015 exception for the plumber visit. Don't really like being at home all the time, what do I talk to my wife about then?

It doesn’t:

I don’t want pagination for reference documents, for one thing – I want fast seamless scrolling.

Not sure if that’s still the case, but on macOS, it used to be hard to open more than one ePub file at a time using Calibre too – also an essential feature for research.

Finally, Calibre viewer edits each opened ePub by inserting a “last reading location” metadata file by default! It’s possible to deactivate in the settings, but I need to remember to do it for every new installation. It’s an absolute no-go as a default for a document viewer.

I don’t agree that Google is optimizing for time wasting, either. The faster they get you to click an ad link the faster they get paid.

The phenomenon with recipes that you mention has nothing to do with Google: it has more to do with copyright. You can’t copyright a recipe, but you can copyright written commentary about cooking a recipe.

The recipe blogs also need enough content to place ads around.
