> The challenge, of course, is convincing netizens to pay for your content, or freeing it in a way that isn't alienating to readers.

I like the LWN.net model, where "Brief items" that are essentially links to stories on other sites (but with their own comment section) are free to everyone, and their original journalism is free to paying subscribers for 1-2 weeks, and then free to everyone else after that.

If you're not a subscriber and want to see take on any topic, you can with a fairly short delay. If you want to see their historic output, either for research purposes, or just to get an idea of the consistency of their output, no problem.

It's only if you want to see their original work right now, or participate in their comments while the article is fresh, and you're happy that it's the kind of content you want to pay for, then you can. And there are multiple membership tiers (without much to distinguish them) so you can, to a limited degree, settle on a membership level that you feel is fair value.

A thought-provoking comment; thanks for sharing it.

There is a parallel with personal relationships. Some people churn through relationship after relationship, always looking for a refresh on the exciting feeling of being with someone new and falling in love (or something like it).

Others find a person and settle down into a long term relationship and are happy with it. Sure, the thrill of a new relationship goes away pretty quickly, but if you are lucky enough to find the right person, that is OK. As the relationship goes on, that shared history builds into its own beautiful thing. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I've thought about it this way. Studies show how unreliable memory is (see the Challenger disaster memory study [1]), and if a memory is only in my head, I can't be sure it happened that way, and ignoring that issue, it feels kind of like knowing a joke that I can't share with anyone. But with a long-term relationship, all those trivial things of your life are shared with someone else who gets the references and jokes and callbacks, and it makes it more real; it confirms that I really did live that memory, and you get more value out of it than if it is lives only in your own head. This might not make sense to younger people, but at 60 it is becoming relevant to me.

Also, please don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying settle down for the sake of settling down. If you haven't found the right person, keep looking for them.

Be careful what you wish for, the soul of Blizzard is long dead.

You can see this with Diablo 4, which is a completely soulless ARPG. With the latest season 3 launched yesterday, it's just not a fun game and it's clear that whatever processes and people they have at Activision Blizzard, they haven't got something in place that lets someone say, "Wait, shouldn't this be fun?".

While D3 had it's fair criticism at launch for a number of reasons, it still at it's core had a fun gameplay loop. With the itemisation fix in Reaper of Souls they managed to turn it around and make a really fun game. Even in the launch state it felt like it was made by people who enjoyed gaming but had made some questionable decisions especially regarding the auction house.

D4 in contrast feels more fundamentally flawed. It feels like a game made by people who have been described what makes a game fun but don't play games themselves.

It's hard to put into words what feels so off about it. You can criticise that a player goes into the same tilesets, kills the same mobs for the same rewards, but at it's core that's true of a lot of ARPGs which are fun.

You can criticise itemisation, but even that doesn't capture what's so off about the game. It just doesn't have the right dopamine releases while playing. There's little to get excited about when loot drops. You might get some "green arrows" but upgrades don't feel impactful. A few up arrows don't change how you play.

When levelling up, your character doesn't really undergo a transformation from a player struggling to kill mobs in one way to clearing screens of mobs in a different way that you've grown and progressed into. You fairly early get your skills and you kill the same mobs in the same way but now the mobs have X,000 hit-points instead of X hit-points.

I might myself get criticised for this post by people saying that fun is subjective, that this is just my opinion. But fun isn't just subjective, there's a core to computer games, and in the latest season the mechanics they added were to take some of the generally agreed least fun parts of competitors and wrap them up in something that doesn't even deliver a large reward for doing it.

Twitch isn't always a reliable metric, but when hardcore ARPG fans are visibly bored and itching to play a different game, that isn't a good look.

Season resets should be an exciting time for a clean start with a new character and exploring new play-styles. Instead, around 10 levels in, everyone realises they've already unlocked all the skills they'll use this season, that they've now essentially experienced most the content they'll see this season.

> 2k employees look like a lot, 8% looks kinda better.

Sorry what?
I would love nothing more than to not be special, the only solutions that I can conceive of for the hard problem of conscience are ones that requires something other than the physical. Either there is a soul or conscience is just inherent to the universe(the whole everything has a conscience theory) neither of these is particularly satisfying to me if for no other reason than they are both unfalsifiable. I would love for there to be an available algorithm that my brain could compute that would spit out conscience.

But I don't see how, it seems intractable to me. The brain could theoretically do anything it does from information processing, problem solving, planning or even develop a theory of the mind without a conscience, it's computation all the way down. But why and goddamned how does a human brain go from perceiving and processing the visual information of red light hitting your eyes to "feeling" red, how does it "feel" anything at all, heck what is this "observer" that does all the "feeling" even made of? if you could break "him" down into constituent parts(theoretically computable sub-problems) at all that would be nice, it would be more progress than I've done over years of thinking about this bullshit problem.

The "observer" seems indivisible to me, heck it seems made of nothing at all, it just is. Sure it being indivisible might be an illusion made up by the brain, but, if so, it's an illusion that still needs to be fed to "something", and I haven't heard any working theories that I actually buy that explain how the brain comes up with that "something".

Will be interesting to see when Big Tech releases earnings next week. If they all crush it, then why the layoffs? Did CEO egos just get bruised by all the great resignation and quiet quitting stuff and now they feel the need to flex on their workforce?

> Wasn't an image with a click <map> easier

it's solving a different problem

it's referring to using a 9-cell table to make an element where the corner sizes stay static, while the middle column and middle row stretch horizontally and vertically respectively to match the size of the central cell (which e.g. has variable length text)

then with background image tiling in the left/right and top/bottom middle cells you can get an effect like a drop-shadowed panel that sizes responsively

you'd probably set the flexible cells to width=100% and then have a 1-pixel gif in the edge cells to enforce the desired min-width

I was sad the article didn't mention anything about the 216-colour "web safe" palette, but perhaps the author wasn't old enough to remember having to support users with < 24-bit colour displays... or when 1024x768 took over from 640x480 as the min screen size, allowing use of fixed-width layouts >600 pixels (the max possible: 640, minus browser default page margin, minus scroll bar)...
> The design was that each bundle had some extra bits including a stop which was a sort of barrier to execution. The idea was that you could have a series of bundles with no stop bit and the last one would set it. That meant the whole series could be safely scheduled on a future wide IA64 machine. Of course that meant the compiler had to be explicit about that parallelism (hence EPIC) but future machines would be able to schedule on the extra execution units. This also addressed the problem where VLIW traditionally would require re-compilation to run/run more efficiently on newer hardware.

Thanks, that makes sense. I did not understand the intent of the stop bits correctly.
However, it still seems like the design wouldn't scale super well: if you have less ports, you want to schedule dependent instructions on the critical path as early as possible, even if other independent (but not latency-critical) instructions could be scheduled earlier, incurring extra stop bits. So while some degree of performance-portability is designed into the hardware, the compiler may have a hard time generating code that is scheduled well on both 3 port and possible future 6 port machines.

This reminds me of macro-fusion, where there's a similar contradiction: macro fusion only triggers if the fusable instructions are issued back to back. But when optimising for a multi-issue-in-order design, you usually want to interleave dependency chains (i.e. not issue dependet instructions back to back) such that all the pipelines are kept busy. So unless the pairs that fuse are the same on all of them, it's very hard to generate code that performs well on a variety of microarchitectures.
Same here. I moved around a lot as a kid. New countries, new cities, new guardians. As an adult I just don't get satisfaction out of traveling. I have that same feeling of "just another place" when I travel.

I also really relate to that feeling of never belonging anywhere. It was only recently I realized how damaging that was. I never really invested in relationships with people because I always had the unconscious thought that they would be gone tomorrow. I'm trying to work on that now.

For background imagery in in-house presentations, I have switched almost entirely to genAI artwork. Previously, I would use a combination of licensed stock image services and small commissioned pieces on something like fiverr.

Now, I get faster turnaround and more choice/control in a self-service fashion. Do the resulting images hit the exact same highest possible high notes that a $20 or $50 piece of fiverr would? No, but they're usually 95+% as good and I get them in 2-3 minutes and can rev them as much as I care to.

I used to work in games; for game artwork, I suspect that creating custom in-house tooling may allow N/3 artists to do the same work as N artists could back in 2010. If it's even 3N/4, game studios will make that investment.

Scale relative to what? The fancy ones are the only ones I've ever encountered in Germany except when dealing with an American company that insisted I upload photographs of my ID card directly to them (which due to the lack of a proper privacy policy brought me close to ditching the client that asked we use them).

There's also Postident (which involves walking into a post office and showing the clerk your ID card in person) and eID (which requires a compatible smartphone and uses the digital data on the ID card itself). Video ID is pretty ubiquitous these days, so I'm not sure why you think it "doesn't scale".

If you're suggesting alternatives that only rely on biometrics, I don't think those are sufficient to fulfill the requirements of anti-money-laundering laws in Germany even if American KYC laws might allow them.

Unfortunately, I'm not impressed at all. It looks and feels like a cartoonish bootleg of SC with AI generated Fortnite-looking artwork.

What made SC interesting, like most Blizzard IP of the time, was also the well written story lines with amazing character arcs, that kept people invested, and not that it was a strategy game of space marines versus organic aliens versus energy aliens. They even made sure to give story-time to the regular units as you unlocked them, not just the heroes.

There were a lot of other similar strategy games at the time, and they all flopped (anyone remember Submarine Titans?). The first alpha release of SC was also mocked for being basically "Warcraft in space" so Blizzard had to step up and make SC special, and they did. The second game was less impactful than the original, but still good and memorable due to the story.

Maybe I'm out of touch with modern gaming, but I don't see how this can succeed. If I want to play SC I can just get the real deal, and not just something that looks like it.

The RTS games market is relatively small and niche nowadays and already saturated with quality established franchises from the past, so Zerospace would need to bring some new kick-ass revolutionary ideas to the table and not be just be "copy my homework but change it a bit" variant of SC.

Maybe it's naive, but I wonder if escalating fines then sanctions against countries responsible for a lot of cybercrime could work.

Right now the incentives are all messed up. If citizens from country A lose millions from scammers in country B, country B has little incentive to spend precious resources on making it stop. In some cases it's even worse as country B might be benefiting from the scam.

Telling some countries "we won't let you route calls to our country because a disproportionate amount is scams" might provide an incentive, and if it doesn't it makes the scamming harder. Of course this needs to be weighed against the potential costs.
So what would it mean for us to not really have sensations of color, sound, etc? People can be wrong about some of their experiences, but those would be called illusions or hallucinations, not lack of experience. Illusions and hallucinations are themselves kinds of experiences, even if the experiences are faulty. You can dream about all sorts of ridiculous things, but it would be very odd to use that to claim that you don't actually experience dreaming.

If our internal experiences are the result of self-interpreting an internal model, that doesn't make the experiences go away. It means there's something about that activity which causes subjectivity.
