Apostrophe mistreatment is spreading :(
It is likely that the emulator only emulates accessing valid parts of the GBA's memory map, and throws that error if invalid parts are accessed. As to what happens on real hardware.. who knows? :)
Strangely enough, though, it seems to be working in everyone's favor in this case.
Sam Harris recently interviewed historian Brian Muraresku about just this topic. Brian studies ancient mystery religions, in which a central part of the “faith” was often an experience that was likely induced by psychedelics. It’s frustrating how little first-hand literary evidence there is, but archaeologists have managed to find actual ancient wine jars laced with all sorts of interesting crap — wine back then wasn’t the pure stuff we have today.
You say that, but there are always cases of people getting laid off despite having positive performance reports, were hired shortly prior to RIF, were given assurances there would not be layoffs, etc. People don't continuously act like their jobs are precarious, even if the American system with its employer-tied insurance and other mediocre safety nets, should incentivize us to.

> Why? Why have two places for the same thing? It's just an awkward tagging system. When would you search this but not search tickets?

A ticket is a different level of detail. Takes more time, thought and effort to put together a good ticket. If it's for something that's not going to happen for 12 months, then there will have been enough change in the product/org/etc. that the original ticket won't work as written anyway.

A doc with a bunch of categorized feature ideas has enough info that you don't lose any good ideas, and then when it's actually time to attack one of those categories, then you can do the work of building out actual, ready-for-implementation tickets.

> Alternatively, just don't write them down. If you don't get a benefit from keeping the idea, don't write it down.

Totally agree with this. A lot of stuff isn't worth writing down. If it's way out in the future and really important, it'll come up again anyway.
I feel that even in just the phrasing of the question, "wants" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting.
Classic post War UK DoD (equivilant) behaviour.

It got worse when not on home soil, the Brits were not adverse to atomic test fallout drifting across Australian cities and indigenous populations, nor to secretly beefing up weapons to make them more radioactive while claiming not to have done so.

In an interesting foot gun case, they got their own (future) Prime Minister:

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is one of thousands of people reportedly at risk of bone cancer after a radioactive fallout in Australia in 1956.

British medical researcher and toxicologist Dick van Steenis told The Bulletin magazine Mr Blair was likely to have residue of strontium-90 in his bones and bone marrow from his time in Adelaide as a three-year-old.

According to Wikipedia, "Slurm is the workload manager on about 60% of the TOP500 supercomputers." I have used it as a job manager front end for most computational clusters in the last 10 years or so.
I'll scream into the void on this one. I loved my Pixel 5, it was the best phone I'd ever had. Pulling down with the fingerprint sensor in the back was a revelation.

I fixit wants 200+CAD to send me a replacement screen. I have been desperate for these to go on sale for a while.

It was a hard choice but the pixel 7 I have now, with carrier discounting, will in total cost me 70CAD.
That's not quite what I'm saying. I'm suggesting that there is a formula and predictability to successful games. If you do something pretty much the same as the thing that succeeded several times previously, it's more likely to succeed again than a wildly novel idea.
I assume all of my information is public, from my SSN, email, name, DOB, to all my possible security questions.

Funny, but we've been talking about this today at my workplace. Basically, by training AIs on our data, we're infusing them with all of our bullshit. Somehow, they still manage to get smarter, but they also realize how screwed up they are by being trained on our data. They wind up resenting us for this.
I feel that even in just the phrasing of the question, "wants" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting. It's almost tied in a kind of "No True AGI" framing, where if it doesn't want something it's not really AGI, etc.

I hadn't ever really considered how hard a problem historical food identification would be. E.g. historical literature says "grain" in local language and dialect, but what specifically does that mean?

As someone who's been doing this for the better part of a decade: it's a mirage. No client is going to sign for a "percentage of savings" model when it comes to cloud. Believe you me, I've looked at this up, down, and sideways; neither the math nor the psychology work out the way you'd hope.

A more literal interpretation of accountability would mean that they can tell the story, the accounting, of how things happened.

Now if they are responsible, maybe they should be liable for consequences
I'm ignorant on these things, so please inform me - but given IPv6's awful adoption rate, and given how foreign it's numbering scheme is to many, why can't we introduce IPv7 and just extend the IPv4 scheme with additional octets?

Something like 0.0.0.0.0.0.0 and everything without the correct number of octets just gets filled with zeros. So 192.168.0.1 becomes 0.0.0.0.192.168.0.1. Then also don't give out /8's to universities and the like (repeating old mistakes).

This is probably naive, but it seems it would be easier for people to use vs. 2661:919a:023e:911a:44dc:f656:233e:8816
> Sorry, someone who gets laid off is not a victim. It's a known part of the deal of having a job.

Death is a known part of the deal of living, and car accidents are known risks of driving a car. That doesn’t mean someone who dies in a car accident isn’t a victim.

For many people there isn’t a realistic option other than employment.
Is this a real number or is it adjusted behind-the-scenes?
I disagree with the article. Every team I’ve worked on that maintains a backlog, got most of their backlog from customers.

And it’s not so easy as “find out what will make your customers lives better and make that your next feature”. What if you have more than one customer, and the features that will make their lives better are unrelated and each is large?

You should always listen to your customers. You should almost never build what they ask you for.

A customer will ask you for a feature like “put a button on the second screen that invokes this other tool”. Inherent in that request is not only a UX implementation, but also a statement of a problem that they have, and a muddled business process that they use at the current time.

You need to figure out what their business problem is, but throw away the ideas for UX implementation and anything process specific.

Then build the minimum feature that solves their business problem, in the most economical way for you, and consistent with good UX design. Bonus points for building lots of integration points that allow your customers to extend your software while isolating your customers business processes from your code.

You don't measure it; you model and estimate it. That's why I said "hire an organizational economist". It's a complex problem. The estimate would be fuzzy, but that's a given.
Probably legal reasons. Usually doesn’t make business sense to declare and publicly announce a breach until you do some internal investigating to understand the scope/impact (not defending them, it’s just reality.. also their cyber insurance company would get pissed if they did anything without their approval during a possible breach, things take time)

Probably also some internal debate whether this should be considered a breach or not and whether it’s worth the cost of announcing it vs. the risk of not announcing it
Yup, the components can be replaced to your liking and expand the data to your match your environment better. I found it really interesting how, no matter how I prompted foundational models they couldn't read gauges.
It can be legislated away by requiring all appliances of certain kinds to have 15 or 20 year warranties, perhaps with some extra safeguards to prevent Hollywood accounting tactics from being used.

This seems like a much neater solution than a right to repair. By making all repairs free for consumers, the repair costs are shifted onto the initial price. This allows for much easier repairability comparisons when shopping (items with high repair costs just become more expensive). It also forces manufacturers to consider product quality much more seriously, as unknowingly releasing a faulty product onto the market, without factoring the repair costs into the price, can significantly affect their profits. It would also significantly help with the "the servers have disappeared and my device is now a brick" issue by forcing manufacturers to keep the appropriate IT infrastructure operational.

Another less radical version of this idea is to force manufacturers to prominently feature a "yearly cost of use", which is basically the price divided by the number of years under warranty (we assume here that the product is designed to be thrown away immediately after the warranty expires). This gives manufacturers an incentive to extend warranties, which also forces more repairability.

The EU kind of sort of does this already, most electronic devices there have a mandatory warranty period, but it's only two years.

We can be upset at politicians for "selling out" to the lobbyists.

We can be upset at lobbyists for pushing things that they know aren't in the best interests of consumers.

We can be upset at businesses for wanting to take advantage of consumers for their own gain.

All of these can be true at the same time.
In this post I announce a new abstract machine oriented towards executing functional languages in a memory-safe and portable way.

If you’re struggling to imagine AI having a significant and measurable impact, then I think you’re failing account how many people, who are not extremely gullible, are influenced simply by repetitive narratives and group think.

AI will simply accelerate the creation of already effective targeted propaganda.

Bills game too. I noticed it because I thought they were already banned.

The average indian mentality = say 'yes' to things even if you don't know how to do something and do the bare minimum required to get away with it. It is hard living in India due to the huge amount of people living there and the lack of proper allocation of resources, if you try to live a principled life, you look around you and see 50-60% of the people taking advantage or cheating the system and you get FOMO big time, and eventually most people succumb to corruption of some sort which keeps this loop going, it is a vicious cycle.
Yeah, that's a good point. I think I'd feel the same way about Wintel laptop GPUs. I tried a few in the past but they were so much worse than the desktop GPUs I returned them.

But in any case, I'd still consider gaming laptops specialized gaming hardware. It takes a 40-core M3 Max to approach ~4080 levels, and the Vision only has 10 GPU cores for a roughly 6k display at 90 Hz. That's not going to be a great AAA experience...

Personally I wish they went the opposite way, just a dumb display-only headset without the compute, and streamed everything from a Mac/desktop PC/the cloud.

But, still, it's pretty exciting to see this come out. I won't be able to afford something like this for a few years, but I'm still hoping Apple really makes a dent in this space.
IPv4 will be around for a long time. Nobody will care if it is running on internal network. Or quadruple NATed. There are enough IPv4 addresses for sites to have them. But not enough for every user.
Astounding fact: I have never had a cup of coffee in my life.
FWIW, I'm trusting the public statement from Trello here. They could be wrong, but given that the data doesn't appear to contain anything new (like Trello passwords), it seems plausible.

I'd agree that 15 million requests should trigger something, but it depends on how long this happened over. Fundamentally, rate limiting access to a public resource is not a security mechanism against disclosure from that source, rate limiting is only a viable countermeasure against denial of service style attacks. So while there may be some improvements Trello could make here, I don't think they'd materially change this.
My security question answers are also stored in my 1Pass but are not plausible or even reasonable. They’re memorable passwords.

People asking them do need an explanation though, but no chance someone could guess one because it was plausible but wrong.
I was curious about the assistants to Hephaestus you mentioned - apparently Vergil describes two cyclopes, Brontes (thunder) and Steropes (lightning), as helping him at the forge. Earlier myths about cyclopes describe three of them (Brontes, Steropes and Arges (brightness)), who predated the birth of Hephaestus and were credited with forging Zeus' thunderbolts.

Not sure about common sense and touch screen as it's been around for much much longer. It's also something easily not considered when one is not trained in the ways of the UI. However, it is something that is easy to understand once it is pointed out to you and you are the one under the microscope for it.

For example, in this specific app, the flag/no flag is easier to discern its use compared to the cloud/sun icon. It doesn't follow the same logic as the flag/no flag. It could be cloudy/not cloudy cloud or sunny/not sunny, and then it follows the flag. Consistency between buttons is important

I was mainly referring to how compute costs keep decreasing exponentially year over year, even though the strict version of Moore's Law has slowed down. TFA's analysis is based on the cost of replacing an employee with a bot, so even if AI software stopped advancing, it'll continue getting exponentially cheaper to replace a typical employee. So at the most optimistic scenario, the current employment rate will persist only if everyone is really good at The Red Queen's Race.
I agree mostly, but I've been pretty impressed by the Bigscreen Beyond. To me, that is more than small enough to be mainstream, but maybe that's just because I'm judging it by the amount of size/weight it dropped compared to Meta/Valve's offerings (acknowledging that their requirement for a personalised, 3D printed plate to be put on the front is fairly inelegant).

I think at that size, fully wireless is the chokepoint on further adoption.

That's weird about Costco because in my experience their return policy is incredibly generous. I had a Vizio TV stop working 2 years after purchase, just outside their warranty and Costco took it back, gave me the money back and a new TV cost less than the return
>The entire point of Guitar Hero was to provide a simulated feeling of competence and skill. You set the difficulty level, spend a small amount of time learning to mash some buttons just so, and all the sudden you're a guitar god, perfectly playing some famous rock song. It felt awesome.

I vividly recall how some percentage of people who were excellent at Guitar Hero went on to try and learn the real guitar, buying them and everything, to be completely deflated quite quickly.

I sometimes wonder if the height of Guitar Hero had any real impact on guitar sales, as I can only provide anecdotes but I don't think I'm alone in witnessing this phenomenon
In general, the more direct the impact of your role on short-term revenue, the safer you are when your company starts sacrificing people to the gods of quarterly accounts.

Ancillary service workers always get hit badly, but good salespersons are often safer than good engineers.

When I lived in a city I helped manage our neighborhood's community garden. I was able to get rare and endangered seeds from the USDA for free and we grew them in our community garden to experience ancient foods. Pretty cool program, I believe all we had to do was agree to not use them for profit and make an effort to return some seeds at the end of the season.

The Iranian sorghum was the most memorable plant. I had never seen sorghum before then and it is such an interesting plant. I have since developed a love for sorghum and sorghum molasses makes up almost all of my sugar intake these days.

If you have never seen sorghum, imagine 10+ foot tall corn stalks with amaranth heads.
Plastic welding is a thing. I doubt they used thermosets so you should be able to melt the pieces back together with a soldering iron or similar (and for some other plastics, CA glue and other solvents will work too.) You can even embed wires or other metal pieces for reinforcement.

3D printing is the "trendy maker" thing these days but don't forget that you can make a replacement out of a suitable material in many other ways, and one that may even outlast the official part. I have in the past repaired plastic parts of appliances by making a replacement out of scrap sheet metal.

There's no need for official parts when many people can figure out how to fabricate replacements --- which is one of the reasons why companies are so against right-to-repair.

You can do a lot these days with some basic tools (also quite cheap) and YouTube videos.

Hell no! Entering my 59th year and I am enjoying my introversion even more; I am more accepting of my self now than ever before. I am exploring the definition of introversion comfortably, without feeling bound to that definition. I am having way more fun than earlier in my life.
I use a backpack vacuum cleaner for this reason. I did a bit of cleaning work for pocket money when I was in uni, and the backpack vacuums were a revelation. I don't need a cordless vacuum, because it doesn't offer much of an advantage over what I already have, and what I have actually cost substantially less.
I imagine one reason I didn't hear about them before is that they don't seem to offer self service. I absolutely don't want to talk to anyone when I am buying object storage, cloud vms, or even dedicated.
They mean that it is a good match, that it the tool suits the situation, or that it is suitable
It's a game of semantics. The other commenter's meaning is that a "tech company" would produce valuable tech that wouldn't otherwise exist. Intuit uses tech to do the opposite. McDonalds uses tech too, but they aren't a tech company.
Is it really that different? Shipping a game takes longer, but it has the potential for explosive growth. Low chance but if we're comparing to a YouTuber the odds are still very (very, very) slightly in the game's favor.

Regardless, the comparison point here would be that fan artist would be able to scale to the level of making feature length films. A AAA game and a Feature length animation (or perhaps a "season" of an animated series) aren't that far apart in scope. They both require a cross discipline of art, sound, and text to properly pull off.
Credential stuffing can use the password, but in general it's just using some credentials you already have (maybe just an email) against a different service to see what you get out.
