I am sorry to report that Facebook gives me the best conversions. I really wish it weren't true, but it is.

To be clear, engaging with people directly in groups and talking about what I do is more effective than ads. All marketing goes over better when you are a part of a community vs. projecting ads in front of people.
Original Apple Mac team celebrates 40th birthday [video]
Where are you hearing this? I actively follow all bandcamp news to an almost obsessive degree and have not heard a whiff of this. The explanation could easily be the delusions of someone who’s soothing their own ego after getting the boot for legit TOS violations.
Phone numbers are bad, but of course it could be worse. Phone numbers have both escape hatches (VOIP, shared number burner services, or your own psuedonymous SIM + device ID), and friction (people are wary of businesses spamming them).

Pseudonyms don't work for the topic under discussion, issuing credit. And for the general case, since credit issuers would be able to require you to do a non-psuedonym identification, then any other entity can require this as well, unless there were a privacy law.

(no idea what you mean by "ATM")
As someone reaching 40 myself, it's funny the author doesn't realize they are just getting older. Not all, but most people, as they age, start to lose that wanderlust that they had in their youth. Like the author I have been on many adventures and across many countries, and I will still do a lot more of it. But as I get older I feel the pull far less than I did when I was younger.
by "FOSS SDK" I meant an equivalent to XCode, libs and headers, scripts, etc. Not the signing stuff.
It’s the opposite problem with JavaScript. JavaScript almost always going to be backwards compatible. But, you’re right, because you can’t control the environment you’re going to be perpetually using “new” features that are 2-5 years old.

For example, I can still run my projects from 2004 but I'll have to wait until 2028 to widely deploy my bleeding edge projects from 2024.
> Carcinize existing C and C++ X.509 users.

This could be game-changing for a lot of open source software.

I spent years avoiding X.509 (and ASN.1, for that matter) in my designs because every time someone I trust poked it, a remotely exploitable bug fell out. Most often, it was a Denial of Service issue rather than Remote Code Execution. Moving to Rust would demonstrably improve the security of the entire Internet.

You might be tempted to ask, "What about BouncyCastle?" (or similar queries).

Sure, you're not overwriting the EIP in most Java X.509 bugs, but check the release notes for X.509 and ASN.1 mentions: https://www.bouncycastle.org/releasenotes.html

When I worked for Amazon, we disclosed a few X.509-related vulnerabilities to projects that we almost found by accident.
Crazier still is the cost of employing 22,000 people in one division. Even at a low ball of $100K/year/employee, that’s $2.2 billion in people costs per year. Microsoft needs to be recouping at least $50/year from every single Xbox owner (estimating 50 million out there) to cover that cost alone.
Why it it strange to cater to a demographic and not stranger to shotgun everyone into liking something?
I have no idea how inflation works - what happens if you're an average Turkish person who had, say, 1000 lira in their bank account 10 years ago?

If that 1000 lira used to be able to buy you 100 meals at 10 lira each, and now the same meal costs 100 lira, have you effectively just become 10x poorer over the past 10 years?

Does the government or your bank offer you higher savings interest on that lira as inflation rises?
Indeed, cybercrime is cross-border because that makes it difficult to reverse fraudulent transactions. There should simply be an international treaty such that fraudulent transactions crossing a border can be reclaimed from the government of the destination country, leaving them with the problem of reclaiming it within their own country.

The concept that sports news constitutes journalism is a bigger sign that there was never anything real to begin with.

Might as well say that the decline of seventeen magazine and daily bread (rollerblading magazine) were indications of journalism’s decay.

Journalism is about holding powerful interests accountable

A popular sports tabloid - even if it does do deep “reporting” isn’t journalism by any stretch
Then I agree that it appears self-evident, but then we must admit that it then doesn't follow that it must be true!
To be honest this is quite opposite. When you make 3D game you can re-use a lot of models and art assets from Unity / Unreal stores and easily hide the fact by using some filters or shading configuration.

When you do pixel art you cant just buy bunch of art packs and expect them to work together. And for anything high-quality you'll be creating all the art from scratch for every project.

Of course I not talking about very basic 8-bit stuff, but about something that is actually looks good and well animated.
Is it all due to inflation and the interest rates? Shouldn't these companies be able to issue stock to get some cheap capital to continue growth/hiring? Or anyone know why this is happening?

It was sad to see so much indie music go down with MySpace and it would be a shame to see that happen again, I wonder if there is some kind of peer-to-peer solution like mastodon and bittorrent that could work within this model
I think getting it into cURL would be more impactful, since that's already tapped into by many OSS projects.

I find titles to be a social construct we use, the meaning of "senior" I feel has been diluted over the years much like the word "engineer" has been as well

I think the more important question is whether or not the person you are hiring can do the given job and task, regardless of years of experience
I agree, it’s not ”thinking” in the way brains think, but I was just disagreeing with the assertion that it’s “just” pre-programmed. He’s shown pretty convincingly that these phenomena can not be preprogrammed. He’s put organisms in novel developmental states that never exist in nature and shown that the cells work around the problems he gives them to build up a working body. I think if you get stuck on “thinking”, yeah it’s not thinking, but it’s some sort of cognition that is above simple optimization.

I honestly think if you (or anyone) watches one of his talks it will blow your mind. Prior to watching his talks, I would have said pretty much the same thing as you, but his work completely upended my view of biology. He’s basically breaking down how we get from “just physics” to a working organism and finding a lot of surprising things. Unfortunately, there’s way more information than I can condense into a comment.
A flip on the incentive might be that their core product uses open-source software somewhere in it and the style of open-source license may compel them legally to release any modifications, additions, etc. I don't know which licenses that may or may not apply to and IANAL.

Also for reference, RedHat's entire business model was like this, mostly charging for enterprise support. I use past tense because I have no idea what they do today. Way back in the day that mean when you submitted a support ticket, you might get a developer that worked on the product to help you if it was beyond their initial support triage level.
Sounds like he is helping you discover who you should really be blaming for these found issues :)

would be nice and IMO appropriate for this forum to hear how you got to launch! I seem to remember talking to you guys way back in 2016 (as "Phenom") so I'm sure there's an interesting story to be told.
I mean you certainly could, in the sense that you could get it to tell you the sky is green, and that it's the spirit of Rodney Dangerfield.

To your point though, so far as I can tell it could not answer that question as a product by actively engaging conscious introspection to discover its own absence of consciousness, which I take to be your point.

So if its way of answering involves dipping into its own active "theater" of consciousness it likely could not, at least given our usual understanding.

However I do wonder if its something where that could actually be complicated to answer, and where, like illness, as we grow in understanding, it breaks out into all kinds of unexpected subclasses.

I can, for instance, know, in a sense, that I can't see UV rays. But I am not so sure if consciousness writ large could every be tested for, via conscious introspection, and come out in the negative, even if we allow for the idea that it will explode into all kinds of nuances and subclasses with future research.
>It's the big ones that have jumped the shark and gone full-in capitalist.

Nonsense for most single player games which there are still many of.
Anything coming out of modern Blizzard will be garbage, like with Bethesda.

Your best hope is that they license the IP to a company that actually cares, like Bethesda did with Black Isle for Fallout New Vegas.
These positive relationships are not artficial. Japanese and Taiwanese people really genuinely like the USA in a way that runs deep in the culture. Im from texas, and live in japan. I was surprised to find this out.
there’s a lot more to game development - environment textures, normal maps, foliage, gui textures, background sounds, concept art, etc and AI has been making a lot inroads to these areas

I really don't know how you can lose that much money running a website like that for two years unless you're deliberately using it as a cost sink.
I'm 52 years old and have driven since I got my license when I was 16.

I've never once driven in any emergency situation where I felt I needed to floor it.

In any kind of accident situation it is almost always better to brake early and bleed off speed so any accident will have less kinetic energy and not more (a common driver mistake on r/IdiotsInCars is to honk and swerve and not brake). And I've [safely and without accident] driven many vehicles which couldn't accelerate very fast at freeway speeds so trying to speed away from something wasn't much of an option. The situations where I miss more power is when you get stuck behind some idiot truck doing 40 in the next to left lane and have to get around them into much faster moving traffic and need to punch it, which being governed to 80 mph won't impact your ability to do that at all.

Inside of cities with good 911 response times it is better to have the ambulance drive to you rather than you attempt to drive to the hospital. They have the training and the flashing lights to let everyone know why they're breaking the law along with being more emotionally detached from the situation.

And in some cases people think that the hit and run they were just in constitutes and 'emergency' and they start to chase down the fleeing vehicle like they're the police and they should just not do that and stop putting the rest of the public at risk.

Even if you're involved in a road rage incident with someone chasing you, then you still should just fairly calmly drive to the nearest police station or similar place where you can get help, and speeding at 100 mph isn't going to help you at all and just place everyone else at risk.

The need to exceed the speed limits is pretty narrow, and likely just rural situations where it makes sense to drive to meet the ambulance. I'll agree that these kinds of laws should apply to cities and towns with good 911 coverage and they need exceptions for rural areas (which also means no speed governors on those long straight roads in texas and wyoming everyone gets concerned about as well).
> so really all physicality is an illusion, it's all ultimately internal.

You don't really believe that. If you did, you would be fine jumping out of an airplane without a parachute, or something even more fatal.. because the physical "doesn't matter", only the internal.
I think it boils down to a level of oblivious disrespect for the user from the points you raised about ollama. I am sure it’s completely unintentional from their dev’s, simply not prioritising the important parts which might be a little boring for them to spend time on, but to be taken seriously as a professional product I would expect more. Just because other apps may not have the same standards either re complete disclosure, it shouldn’t be normalised if you are wanting to be respected fully from other devs as well as the general public - after all, other devs who appreciate good standards will also be likely to promote a product for free (which you did for LLM[0]) so why waste the promotion opportunity when it results in even better code and disclosure.
Only thing I know is that they won’t allow certain black metal band covers that have swastikas in their covers.

Which is perfectly fine IMO - that stuff can stay below ground.
You don't need to get onboard with it, I bet that there'll be C/C++ jobs for a long time.

Just learn Rust if you would like to. It isn't as good as people pretend it to be, as with any technology, it has plenty of tradeoffs, even when compared to C/C++.
I’d love a brood war remaster
Thanks so much, I appreciate that!
I don't think this is necessarily the case for fiction, where creativity is more important than perfect accuracy (ie hallucinations could be a good thing). LLMs have access to more training material than a human writer could reasonably read in a lifetime, and have a large statistical model of "drama" that's way more nuanced than your typical side NPC.

I don't see this as an either/or situation where they'll replace the lead writers of a title and create the entire narrative. But they can surely (already) make far more interesting characters and side quests than your standard "help kill these goblins for 3gp" filler or fetch quest. Working together with writers, instead of outright replacing them, will hopefully create better overall experiences for gamers.
Yes.

Python was designed from the beginning to be compatible with C; it can make calls directly into C modules. There is an entire portion of the Python ecosystem dedicated to C interoperability. Many of the most popular packages are written in C (e.g. numpy, pandas, etc.) and many other packages have the most performance-sensitive code written in C (scipy et. al.)

I mean, one can easily make the argument that this an incredibly rare instance where the global south get to be the exploiters as opposed to the exploited, and online scams could be argued as a "colonialism tax" on the richer, dumber citizens of western nations that are used to a government that at least feigns giving a shit about their security.

I'm not saying that's right, of course, something something two wrongs. I don't condone it but I don't judge them for it either. As with most crime, the answer largely seems to be elevating the communities from which the crime comes, because while there's certainly a non-zero population out there that will just fuck shit up for their own gain, regardless of how harmful and risky it is, numerous studies on the subject and the successful rehabilitation programs in other countries not using a punitive system of justice demonstrate that the vast majority of the time, what "criminals" really need is a legal option to make a decent living. That can require a wide spectrum of things from proper education/skills training for that given person, to environmental or medical help to address untreated mental/physical illnesses, to systemic improvements so jobs pay enough to actually live and are available where people are.

Basically: Our society demands people have money to survive, and most people given a reasonable opportunity to earn money in a pro-social way will do that, because if for no other reason, it's easier and less risky. However if you live in a place where you are denied the opportunity to make that living, what do you expect people to do? Lie down and wait for the cold embrace of death, or start stealing shit? Put in that position I'd tell you exactly what I'd do.

This is a great question! The answer is twofold:

1. Compatibility: PyCA Cryptography has strict compatibility requirements, including being able to build with older versions of Rust that crates like webpki and rustls-webpki may not be interested in supporting.

2. Generality: PyCA Cryptography is a general purpose cryptographic toolbox, and the plan for X.509 validation is not intrinsically linked to just the Web PKI profiles. In the future, they may wish to make their APIs more flexible than a strictly CABF validator would require, meaning that they would either need to carry patches against `webpki` or get such flexibility upstreamed (to the detriment of the crate's single purpose).

(I am not a maintainer of Cryptography; this is my understanding of the reasons as one of the implementors of this feature.)

> That is, it's possible that we don't actually "feel" anything, and our impression that we are is just the story that our self-model comes up to explain

It seems to me that you are trying to banish things from the existence by a reductionism based exorcism ritual.

If we know a structure of some phenomenon it doesn't mean the phenomenon doesn't exist. We know that life is a chemistry, and there is no life in periodic table. But it is not a reason to conclude, that life doesn't exist.

If my feelings come into existence as a result of a complex information processing, it doesn't mean my feelings do not exist or are not real.

If "I" is just a retroactively written story, then what? Does it mean "I" is not real?
You are extremely unlikely to be shot in the United States as well. Just because the media blows up statistically ridiculously unlikely incidents in a country of 340 million people does not mean it's magically likely to happen to you.

I can't believe this actually needs to be said.

And it crowded out every historical playthrough video of the original Brood War on YouTube, such that full playthroughs of the original are impossible to find.

And so, through grasping at the straws of rehashing old stuff they can't make anew, they ruin the old stuff that was good. :D

Yes, but then the stock price would go down, which obviously isn't allowed.
I still buy music there regularly and there is still plenty of new stuff being released. I really hope it doesn't go down the tubes, but so far so good for me.

Perhaps people in the electronic scene are wary after the experience of Beatport selling to SFX and rapidly starting to suck. But in that case Beatport had already been trying to reinvent itself to some degree for several years ahead of the sale. Bandcamp was different because it pretty much knew what it was going to be in the beginning and still is that now, so it seems like a sustainable business, as long as the new owners are willing to just let it be.

So did the homeworld series. Story isn't enough. AoE2 had online and so did StarCraft so they stayed. Homeworld never got that, without the story, multiplayer and mods it's not quite up there. I remember CoH2 was popular, but you're right it's hard for me to want to try something other than AoE2 or SC, when they're pretty perfect.
I thought about the same thing. Trying this in the US would be a recipe for getting shot.

"Train wreck" according to one analyst, where analysts are reactive, frequently wrong, and only adjust their price targets to stay in line with everyone else.

They confirmed that they were ahead on 4680 ramp progress, announced that they'd be shipping their next-gen $25k "iPhone SE" by end of 2025, announced that they would be opening another factory, announce that FSD v12 is going wide in the next month, announced that energy storage deployments (which print money) are hitting the exponential part of the S-curve, etc.

The issue is that analysts misquote Tesla that they promised 50% CAGR every year. That's not true. Their target is 50% CAGR on average, across years.

Another issue is that analysts only see Tesla as a car company.
at least in my limited perspective, root issue is learning dynamics of internal model that represents self (internal world) and external world.
